"Speak! How many times have you done this kind of thing? Where did you take the drugged people? Tell me the truth, or I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow!" Luo Yunhang picked up a dagger from the man on the table and held it to his throat.
The two had no choice but to hurriedly give their explanations.
It turns out that the two of them used to be local workers digging for sea rosewood. They obtained the sea rosewood by chance, and the man came up with this idea: to use the sea rosewood as fishing to attract merchants from other places who came to buy sea rosewood.
Because men spend a lot of time in the market, they are better at judging people and can spot wealthy people from out of town at a glance.
Anyone who sees these Hainan rosewood pieces will be tempted, and once tempted, they will lower their guard and fall for the trap in conversation.
Using this method, they have already killed several people and reaped considerable profits.
Because the people he's catching are all from out of town, he hasn't been discovered yet.
The woman also confessed that every time they caught a fat person, they would tie them up, gag them, put them in a large swill bucket, and leave it at the door at night. The Indian man who collected swill at the market would come and take them away to dispose of them.
The bucket at the door was gone the next morning.
As for where the person was sent, they didn't know either.
Luo Yunhang thought to himself, "This has actually formed an industry chain?"
"Young man, we've really told you everything. You're alright, so please let us go?" the woman pleaded.
The man knew that to save his life he had to give up something, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I've made a lot of money from these few deals, and I can give it all to you, but you have to let us go. Only I know where the stuff is."
He wanted to use this to lure Luo Yunhang.
Luo Yunhang smiled dismissively. Such a small amount of money held no appeal for him, so how could he be easily fooled?
Moreover, Luo Yunhang had already seen where he hid the money; after all, he was a man with X-ray vision.
I saw it by chance when I first came in. At the time, I thought this family was really strange for hiding money here.
After the man finished speaking, Luo Yunhang took out a cloth bag from a hidden compartment under the table. Inside was the dirty money the two of them had earned over this period of time.
When the two men saw that Luo Yunhang had found the money they had hidden so easily, their faces turned ashen.
"What do you want in return for letting us go?" the man asked again. He knew that to survive, he had to fight desperately to find what Luo Yunhang wanted and his weaknesses.
Luo Yunhang had no intention of letting them go.
"You want wood, right? I have information about rosewood! Let me go, and I'll tell you!" the man probed again.
This time, Luo Yunhang seemed somewhat interested.
"What news?"
"It was a timber merchant we brought with us last time who said that he has five large pieces of small-leaf sandalwood that are passed down from his family and are worth millions. They are buried in the vegetable garden of his old house."
Seeing that Luo Yunhang seemed quite interested, the man quickly said, "If you let us go, I'll tell you his exact address and information."
The man wasn't lying. He was a merchant who came to buy Hainan rosewood. He had given him the information in order to save his life, hoping to beg him to spare him. He never expected that he would still suffer such a terrible fate in the end.
"Are you done talking? Now you can get going."
Luo Yunhang casually tore off a piece of tablecloth and was about to stuff it into the man's mouth.
"He's from Xianyou! Let me go, and I'll tell you his name!" The man struggled desperately, but still couldn't sway Luo Yunhang.
Luo Yunhang tied the two men up tightly, gagged them with strips of cloth, and only allowed them to breathe through their noses.
Then they went to the next room and brought out two large buckets of swill.
The swill bucket was quite smelly, and Luo Yunhang could only endure the stench as he threw the two of them into it.
This is a classic case of reaping what you sow.
After leaving the two of them in the yard, Luo Yunhang locked the door and went to the market for an afternoon.
I bought some Hainan rosewood in small quantities and asked someone to help me ship it to Tianzhou City.
After taking care of these matters, we returned to the courtyard after dinner.
Luo Yunhang moved all the sea amber that the man had used for fishing into his miniature space, where it could be squeezed in just enough to fit.
He then found paper and pen, wrote an anonymous letter, and sent it, along with the ill-gotten gains the two men had swindled, to the local police station.
Then, having accomplished his mission, he left Haikou overnight.
When the police officers saw the contents of the letter and the large bag of money and treasure, they were shocked and immediately dispatched officers to the small courtyard mentioned in the letter. They found the place deserted, with only two garbage cans standing alone in the yard.
When the police opened the lid, they found a man and a woman inside.
The two were taken back to the police station and interrogated overnight. As the letter had stated, the two had used Haihuang to harm many innocent people.
However, by the time the police arrived, the Hainan Huanghuali was already gone, presumably taken by the chivalrous hero who had intervened. The police did not investigate the matter further.
Through a series of interrogations, the police officers were surprised to discover that Ah San, who collected swill at the Hainan Huanghuali market, was actually a member of a human trafficking gang.
The two men accidentally discovered one night that there was a person in Ah San's garbage can, thus uncovering his human trafficking activities.
Later, in an attempt to win them over, the Indians agreed to help them deal with the drugged people for free.
They were actually too afraid to actually kill someone, and it would be difficult to dispose of the body, so they chose to drug them.
Then hand it over to the Indian man to do as he pleases—sell him or leave him somewhere to die, as long as he doesn't show up again.
The police went to his door overnight and finally arrested the Indian man who collected swill.
After a struggle, the Indian man was unable to outmaneuver the police and quickly confessed.
It turns out that these people have already been sold across the border. I heard that there is a great need for labor in Yunnan and Myanmar, especially men. Once they are sold there, it is almost impossible for them to come back.
At the same time, as a member of a human trafficking gang, Ah San also trafficked many women and children and sold them in the deep mountains.
Their crimes are beyond description; even the police couldn't stand it anymore.
Later, the Indian was sentenced to death, and the other two were sentenced to life imprisonment.
The stolen money that Luo Yunhang took with him was returned to the families of the victims by the police. It was a great pity that police resources were limited in this era, and those who were trafficked would rarely be able to return to the country unless they encountered a benefactor.
As for the Hainan rosewood that Luo Yunhang took, no one cared. After all, Luo Yunhang didn't even embezzle hundreds of thousands of yuan in stolen money; he handed it all over to the police. He only took some wood as a reward, which was already quite generous.
These are all things to be discussed later; at this point, Luo Yunhang had already arrived in Fujian Province.
He was quite interested in the small-leaf sandalwood the man mentioned. The man had mentioned the place name Xianyou before. Luo Yunhang had been there in his previous life. It was a county in Fujian Province, so he planned to go there and try his luck.
