Chapter 23: Children who are missing cannot be treated the same way as adults
At the entrance of the police station, they ran into Tian Guoqiang and He Xiaohai who had just returned from outside. Tan Yanlin and Deng Xiuzhen greeted Tian Guoqiang warmly and expressed their gratitude. However, they expressed obvious dissatisfaction with He Xiaohai. Not only did they not greet him, but they also looked at him with a cold look. Deng Xiuzhen, in particular, almost rolled her eyes.
After learning that they had contacted the Economic Investigation Division, Tian Guoqiang said to Deng Xiuzhen and Tan Yanlin, "When we are done, please come over. I have something else I want to consult you about."
The two agreed and followed Xiong Wei to the Economic Investigation Division. Zhang Dongliang asked them to come back tomorrow, saying that Chen Guohu had been found and was being investigated. There had been some progress, and they should be able to give them an accurate answer tomorrow.
After Xiong Wei left, Deng Xiuzhen and the others found Tian Guoqiang. Tian Guoqiang asked them to sit down, then smiled and said, "Do you have any objections to Officer He?"
"I have objections. The situation was so obvious and I explained it so clearly, but he refused to file a case and refused to help us find our child. He has absolutely no sympathy! If you, Director Tian, hadn't come, our child might have really been abducted." Deng Xiuzhen said angrily.
"We understand your feelings, but please forgive us. Think about it, how many reports do we receive in a year? Which one of them doesn't speak with details and swear? We have our own system, and these systems are formulated based on certain grounds. I hope you can understand.
Secondly, how can we arrest people without substantial evidence? Not to mention how many police forces we need to dispatch to catch someone who can run around freely. What if he has done nothing wrong and we arrest him, what will be the consequences? "Tian Guoqiang explained.
"But didn't you give the order as soon as you heard about it? And the facts have proven that Song Qinghua and Liu Xiaozhen are indeed suspicious." Deng Xiuzhen grumbled unconvinced. But she agreed in her heart, especially because she knew that if the wrong person was arrested, it would not only be a matter of compensation, but also have a great impact on the credibility of the law enforcement agency.
Tian Guoqiang continued, "The reason why I believe what you said is because I know some information, and this information is related to Song Qinghua and Liu Xiaozhen. It is not because of your words that I made a decision based on my subjective assumptions. I hope you can understand us and I also hope you will not misunderstand Comrade Xiaohai."
After listening to Tian Guoqiang's explanation, Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin felt a little embarrassed and nodded quickly to show that they understood.
"In addition, a point you raised yesterday does make sense: missing children cannot be treated the same way as adults. After all, children generally do not leave their families or their familiar environment at will, and children have no ability to resist. I have reported this matter to my superiors, and we are waiting for them to handle it." Tian Guoqiang said, thanking Deng Xiuzhen and others again.
The two of them waved their hands and said it was their duty, then stood up and said goodbye, preparing to go home.
Tian Guoqiang called them over, closed the door, turned around and walked to them, and whispered, "There is one more thing I want to ask you: Liu Xiaozhen said that they have a special liaison who comes to arrange tasks from time to time, and that liaison is being arrested.
She also had a superior, nicknamed the old man, and she always followed the old man's instructions. But she had never seen him, and didn't know who he was, what he looked like, or even whether he was a man or a woman, old or young. But she confessed that the old man had given her instructions that you have money, so they released Qin Wenyu first, and then cheated your money and kidnapped Qin Wenyu.
So this person should have come into contact with you. Think about whether you have come into contact with other people during this period, or whether you have met anyone familiar with you in the city. "
When she heard about the old man, Deng Xiuzhen immediately thought of Old Man Zhao. But she felt that it was not the same. When Old Man Zhao introduced them to buy a house, it was a real house to live in. When Old Man Zhao helped them find someone to transfer their children to another school, it was also a direct transfer.
And since the old man has those rare things, he must be rich.
Since you have plenty of money and connections, is it necessary to do these things?
Another point is that since the police knew that the upper line arranged for Liu Xiaozhen to defraud money and then kidnapped Qin Wenyu, why was it Chen Guohu who defrauded the money? What is the relationship between Chen Guohu and the upper line old man? Did he play a role in the human trafficking gang?
The questions they can think of can certainly be thought of by the police who often do criminal investigation work, so there is no need to ask them.
Thinking of this, Deng Xiuzhen shook her head and said nothing.
Tan Yanlin also shook his head to indicate that he had no information.
Tian Guoqiang asked them to keep the content of the conversation confidential and let them go home.
The two left the police station, walked around the street, and then went home after buying groceries. When they reached the alley, they both looked in the direction of Old Man Zhao's house.
Then they turned around and looked at each other at the same time, and saw the same worry and concern in each other's eyes.
The two of them couldn't help but laugh. All the boredom and sadness disappeared at this moment: There are many things that are not satisfactory in this world, but fortunately, the people I love are still around.
Deng Xiuzhen held Qin Yanlin's hand. Qin Yanlin was stunned for a moment, then held her hand back. The two of them held hands, carried the vegetables, walked and talked, and slowly walked towards home.
When the children came back at noon, the first thing they talked about was that the school had carried out anti-fraud and anti-lost education today, and they said that the teacher also asked them to speak on stage and talk about how they dealt with it after being abducted. Each of them spoke with great joy, not looking frightened at all.
Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin are most happy that this incident did not leave any psychological trauma on the child. Now they can think about their next plans with peace of mind.
Of course, the first problem was to sort out the store issue. They had discussed with Xiong Wei and decided to sell the store and split the proceeds among the four buyers. If any of the four people were willing to pay compensation, they could give the store to that person.
The next day, after they met up with Xiong Wei, they rushed to the Economic Investigation Section of the police station together. The other two people who bought the store also arrived, and they reached a consensus on how to handle the store.
But the results once again refreshed their cognition and shattered their consensus.
The store was not owned by Chen Guohu, but was bought by an outsider who was doing business in Pucheng. After buying the store, he went back to his hometown to deal with some things. He probably wanted to bring his family to live in Pucheng together.
Chen Guohu learned about this while chatting with his friends. He was addicted to drugs and forged a purchase contract and sold it to them. Now Chen Guohu has been arrested. He will definitely be sentenced for fraud and will be punished by law. But the buyers' money cannot be returned. Chen Guohu spent all of it. Some of it was spent on drugs and some was lost in gambling.
Since the store does not belong to Chen Guohu and the contract is forged, it definitely has nothing to do with the buyers, because the real owner has never sold the store and all the formal procedures are still in the hands of the owner himself.
If they want the money, they have to wait until Chen Guohu is released. It is unknown how many years Chen Guohu will be sentenced to, because he has committed more than one crime. Even if he is released, where will they get the money?
