Another police officer pushed the door open and, trying hard to suppress a smile, said to the three people, "Take the child away. If you encounter something like this next time, ask clearly first. If nothing was done, there's no need to go to the police station and complain."
"But police officer, if it were really that simple, we wouldn't bother you."
Cheng Maixiang told the police officer everything, and sure enough, his expression gradually became serious.
"Comrade police, we suspect these two families are in cahoots. Perhaps there are many shameful things involved. Otherwise, why would the proposer use a fake identity? Isn't it just to prevent the Fang family from finding them later?"
"Are you telling the truth?" the policeman asked.
Cheng Maixiang pointed at Fang Xiaoyan and said, "She is Fang Weidong's sister Fang Xiaoyan. The person proposing marriage is called Peng Wenshen, who claims to be from Guangshen Commune in Lingqiu County. The police comrades only need to investigate and they will know whether what I said is true or not."
Fang Xiaoyan often followed Shen Qingyun's wife to the county town to deliver goods, and she always carried a letter of introduction issued by Liujia Village. When she heard what Cheng Maixiang said, she quickly took it out of her bag and handed it to the police.
The police officer glanced at it, returned it, and solemnly said to Cheng Maixiang, "If what you reported is true, then the problem is very serious. Please wait here for a moment."
The policeman walked to the end of the corridor, knocked on the door of an office, and then walked in.
Not long after, he came out, waved to the three people and said, "Come in, our Director Kuang wants to verify the situation with you personally."
Cheng Maixiang saw a wooden sign nailed to the office with the words "Director's Office" written on it.
It seems that the police realized that this might be a big case, so they reported it to the director and asked him to make the decision.
"Comrade Xiao Cheng, it turns out to be you!"
In the director's office, two people were sitting on a worn sofa and talking. One of them saw Cheng Maixiang and immediately stood up to greet her.
Cheng Maixiang looked closely and was shocked.
"Director Zhao, why are you here?"
It turned out that the man was the director of the county public security bureau who was in charge of the case when Cheng Maixiang and Lin Qingwan were kidnapped last year. I didn't expect that he would be here today.
Director Kuang asked curiously, "Old Zhao, do you know them?"
"I know them," Director Zhao said with a smile, "That girl was the victim of a kidnapping case that our bureau solved last year, and that guy was her boyfriend."
Director Zhao was deeply impressed by the two of them, especially Cheng Maixiang, who coaxed the stubborn kidnapper into confessing with just a few words, which made him admire her ability from the bottom of his heart.
"This girl is no ordinary person, Old Kuang. In my opinion, her criminal investigation ability is no worse than our police officers." Director Zhao said to Director Kuang with a smile.
Director Kuang looked at her curiously, seeming a little unconvinced.
"Comrade Xiao Cheng, please tell our Director Kuang in detail what you just said to me," said the police officer.
"good."
Cheng Maixiang recounted the entire incident in detail, especially deliberately mentioning that the two events occurred almost one after the other, and emphasized that the identity of the person proposing marriage was fake. The policeman then carefully recounted the incident of Fang Weidongfang surrendering himself.
Director Zhao and Director Kuang met each other at first sight.
Both of them were veterans in the public security field, with extremely rich experience in criminal investigation, and they could almost hear the problem immediately.
"Old Kuang, the situation they reported is really similar to the case I just discussed!"
Director Kuang nodded. It was indeed similar. The victim was first blackmailed. Fearing punishment from the Public Security Bureau, the victim chose to pay money to keep the peace and promised his daughter to someone else. Later, he discovered that his daughter was missing and the family proposing marriage was also fake.
This case happened last year, and the police haven't found the girl until today.
From this, it seems that a criminal group that makes a living by trafficking in human beings is active in Dengcheng. They first use blackmail to force the other party to marry their daughter at a high price, and then return the betrothal gifts to the criminal group. They can take people away without spending a penny, and make it impossible for the victim's family to track them.
Criminal groups are very cunning. They will not commit crimes in one place for a long time. Instead, they choose to move to another place after committing crimes, making it impossible for public security officers to track them. They can also rest easy. This kind of human trafficking does not need to be done often. It is estimated that if they make a deal, it will be enough to make a living for a long time.
Fortunately, someone finally stopped being afraid of their extortion and chose to come forward and call the police, giving the police the opportunity to bring them to justice.
Director Kuang thought for a moment and said to the three, "If we want to catch these criminals in one fell swoop, I'm afraid we'll have to put on a show and deceive them. Otherwise, if we catch Su Ningning's parents, they'll only admit to defrauding money and deny everything else. We also don't have any solid evidence to prove that they are involved with the person who proposed the marriage."
Cheng Maixiang immediately said to Fang Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, I need your cooperation in this matter. When you return home, tell your parents that you agree to Peng Wenshen's proposal. As long as he gives your family the money, you agree to go with them. Only in this way can the police catch all the bad guys."
Fang Xiaoyan had listened for so long and realized that her family had been deceived by bad guys. Now that Cheng Maixiang asked her to cooperate in catching all the criminals, she nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Maizi, I'll listen to you. These bad guys have done such a heartless thing, they must not be forgiven."
In the past, when the victim's cooperation was needed to arrest a criminal, the police would have to spend a lot of time and effort, because ordinary people would be instinctively afraid when they heard about criminals, and would avoid provoking them if possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.
