Five men and three women were gathered in the east room and squatted on the ground in a row.
The eight people were handcuffed together, making it difficult for them to stand up; they could only squat obediently.
Wang Dabao moved a chair and sat down next to Feng Biao to watch him interrogate the group. The middle-aged man leading the group kept looking them up and down with his thieving eyes.
Whenever Feng Biao asked crucial questions, the man would always give vague and perfunctory answers.
Feng Biao glanced at Wang Dabao, who didn't care how he interrogated him at all. He just wanted to know if there were any more hideouts and if there were any inside agents in the commune.
If they didn't have an inside contact, how did they manage to get a foothold here?
Seeing that Wang Dabao was ignoring him, Feng Biao felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to proceed with the interrogation.
"Don't break his legs, or you'll have to lift him into the car later," Wang Dabao said casually as he lit a cigarette.
Upon hearing this, Feng Biao immediately understood. He took the stool leg handed to him by the teammate next to him and, under the horrified gaze of the middle-aged man in the lead, struck him on the left arm with the stool leg.
There was a "click" sound.
The bench leg broke, and the middle-aged man clutched his arm, fell to the ground, and howled in pain.
Because the group was handcuffed together, they all fell to the ground along with the others.
Feng Biao grabbed the stool next to him again and slammed it into the man's back several times until the stool broke apart and he could no longer hold it.
Anyone would be unable to withstand being swung around like that by a nearly 200-pound fat man, and the middle-aged man had already fainted.
The seven people standing nearby were terrified. Two middle-aged women were so frightened that they wet themselves. There was nothing Wang Dabao could do but have them taken away.
Soon, Zheng Jun's search results came out.
There were many things in front of Wang Dabao.
A dagger, an axe, several knives, ether, grain coupons, four or five forged letters of introduction, and eight work permits.
Wang Dabao picked it up and looked at it. The fake certificate was made very professionally. It seemed that these people had done this kind of thing quite a lot.
The screams of the middle-aged man carried far into the still night, reaching the commune, where lights were being turned on in every household.
To prevent enemy agents from entering, the communes all had militia companies, and these were armed militias, so their vigilance was self-evident.
At this moment, the militia company is assembling under the command of the commune secretary.
The courtyard where Wang Dabao and the others were located was already brightly lit.
After being woken up by a basin of cold water, the middle-aged man burst into another round of howling and screaming.
Feng Biao and Zheng Jun didn't rest; they continued interrogating the others.
According to the middle-aged woman, Xiao Su and the other three abducted women and children were only temporarily unconscious and could be woken up by splashing them with cold water.
However, Wang Dabao did not do that. He did not splash them with cold water. In another four or five hours, the effects of the medicine would wear off and the four people would wake up.
With a loud bang, the commune secretary led the militia company in.
Feng Biao immediately went up to him and showed him his work ID.
"Hello comrade, I am Feng Biao, the captain of the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. This is my identification, and all the people inside are from our security department. We are currently arresting a group of human traffickers who are trafficking women and children. Please cooperate with our work."
The secretary of Zhangcheng Commune, who was over sixty years old and had half-gray hair, carefully examined Feng Biao's work ID and said, "Captain Feng, hello, I am Zhang Haishan, the secretary of Zhangcheng Commune. We came here after hearing someone scream."
Zhang Haishan then introduced the militia company commander to Feng Biao, and then asked, "May I see the identification of the rest of you?"
"Okay, Secretary Zhang, please wait a moment."
A short while later, Feng Biao brought out Wang Dabao's and Zheng Jun's identification documents.
Zhang Haishan was startled when he saw that the deputy head of the security department, who was also the deputy director of the police station, was there!
Feng Biao did not let these people into the house, and Zhang Haishan and the militia company commander cooperated and did not cause any trouble, which proved that the human traffickers' inside man was not among these two.
Hearing the screams coming from inside the house, Zhang Haishan and the militiamen looked at each other in bewilderment.
Feng Biao chuckled and explained, "Sorry everyone, let's just treat this as barking dogs. These people are utterly depraved, making a living by trafficking women and children. They've ruined countless families. It would be too lenient not to shoot them on the spot."
Secretary Zhang and the militiamen nodded in agreement.
A moment later, Wang Dabao and Zheng Jun walked over.
After getting to know Zhang Haishan and the others, Wang Dabao directly revealed that the human trafficker's inside man was a commune accountant named Zhang Sangeda.
Zhang Haishan and the others were shocked to hear this. Then, led by the militia company commander, Zheng Jun led a team of five men straight to Zhang Sangeda's house to arrest the man.
Forty minutes later, Zheng Jun returned with a skinny young man, who was none other than Zhang Sangeda, the accountant the traffickers had mentioned.
The commune secretary, his face full of resentment, rushed forward and slapped Zhang Sangeda twice across the face, causing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth. He didn't dare to utter a sound.
“You have completely disgraced our Zhangcheng Commune. I, as the commune secretary, am also ashamed to continue. You can just wait to be executed.”
Upon hearing that he was to be executed, Zhang Sangeda cried, "I didn't know! They just said they were here to buy mountain goods. How was I supposed to know they were doing such a despicable thing? I'm innocent! Uncle, please save me! I really didn't know anything about it!"
At this time, the team members also brought the truck. Wang Dabao was worried that things might get complicated in Zhangcheng Commune, since they had arrested the person's accountant. So he immediately decided to have Feng Biao and Zheng Jun lead the team to take the eight human traffickers and Zhang Sangeda to the police station first, and then bring two jeeps from the factory.
He and several team members stayed behind to wait for Xiao Su and the other three to wake up.
After everything was taken care of, it was already slightly dawn.
Zhang Haishan, the secretary of Zhangcheng Commune, sent someone to deliver breakfast to Wang Dabao and the others.
The meal was plentiful, clearly prepared with care.
There were flatbreads, steamed buns, eggs, chicken stew with mushrooms, pickled vegetables, and two large thermos flasks of hot water.
I believe that Secretary Zhang Haishan is already prepared to be punished. The commune not only harbored human traffickers, but even the accountant became an inside man. Wang Dabao has no way to plead for him in this matter.
After Wang Dabao and several team members finished eating and had a cigarette, they heard a child crying coming from the west room.
The group rushed into the house to check on the child, and when the child started crying, the other three also woke up.
The team members quickly comforted the two crying children, while Wang Dabao explained the situation to Xiao Su and another woman.
Xiao Su was still a little dizzy. She stretched out her long legs and leaned against the wall at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), staring blankly at Wang Dabao with her clear eyes.
When Wang Dabao noticed that Xiao Su opened her eyes, her demeanor immediately improved; in later terms, she had the appearance of someone living a life of peace and prosperity.
It's not overly sweet, but rather sophisticated and pleasing to the eye.
Although she was wearing a cotton-padded coat, her upper body was still bulging; she certainly wouldn't go hungry with a baby.
Especially her height. When Wang Dabao watched Xiao Su move her legs and get off the kang, he couldn't help but be impressed. This girl was at least 1.7 meters tall. Perhaps because she exercised regularly, she had a really beautiful figure.
If she were my wife, it wouldn't be a bad deal!
