Qin Yi spoke with conviction,
"How can that be the same? I may be a kid, but I'm still a kid in the military region. I'm also a member of the army. It's more than enough for me to keep those wicked people in check."
Qin Qingjiang remained silent.
"You're really something, getting so angry over this kind of behavior. You know they're just talking big and can only vent their anger, yet you're still so upset?"
"Well, didn't we just say things in a fit of anger? I was so angry when I saw it."
"Brother Qingjiang, didn't you see? That guy, supposedly the commune secretary, he was worse than me. He didn't have a single leader's air about him, just a scoundrel. Seeing he couldn't intimidate me, he resorted to his pathetic act. And he even knew I was representing the military region! What about the common people? Humph, who knows how much suffering they endure every day!"
Although Qin Qingjiang is only a secretary now, he is still in this system. He can see things more clearly than others.
Qin Qinghuai ignored him, rubbed his hands together and thought for a moment.
"Could those people who were sent down to the countryside find out any information?"
In recent years, the development here has brought back a lot of talent, which has led them to pay special attention to the situation of people who have been transferred to other places. They have found that talented people are being brought back through various means.
"Did you just arrive?"
Qin Yi handed over the documents, becoming serious; he was always thorough in his work.
"When I came back, I went to the county civil affairs department to ask. Those people were sent over last week. They were indeed assigned there according to the rules. The number of people in other communes exceeded the limit. Only there, people from previous years were transferred away. This year, not a single person was sent down. So no matter how you look at it, Xiangyang Commune is the first choice."
I paid special attention to this Party Secretary. They said he had some connections with the provincial committee and got into trouble there, drawing too much attention to himself. So they sent him here to lay low. That's why they specifically chose one of the poorest places—they just don't want anyone to notice him.
"Wow! They really put their heart into it."
"Xiao Yi, this information was never available before, how come it was so easy to find out this time?"
Qin Yi's smile was strange.
“Brother Huai, I didn’t actually ask him. After leaving Liujiatun, there was a vehicle from the garrison going to our area, so I thought, let’s not wait any longer, let’s just send the two kids over and have them take them back.”
As a result, I overheard people talking about it near the commune police station. From what they were saying, it seemed that this matter was not a secret at the police station, and quite a few people in the commune knew about it, but no one dared to spread it casually for fear of being retaliated against.
I heard he didn't come down alone; he brought a few lackeys with him. Otherwise, how could he be so arrogant?
"Is this a deliberate attempt to keep it from the higher-ups?"
Qin Qinghuai sneered.
"It's also possible that they never intended to hide it, but no one dared to say it out loud. After all, the provincial committee is a very intimidating organization!"
"Alright, alright, what's the use of your sarcastic remarks? I'll go back and tell Secretary Xi that even if we treat him like a clown, we can't let him really harm the poor people of this commune."
Furthermore, even if those who were sent to the countryside were guilty, it shouldn't be him who judges them.
The neighboring police station worked day and night for three days and managed to get rid of almost all the big and small thugs in the county.
Meanwhile, surrounding counties and even multiple provinces and cities across the country also launched operations. If people didn't know, that would be one thing, but as the truth was unraveled, it was truly shocking.
"The network of connections has spread almost all over the country and has deep roots. It certainly couldn't have been done overnight. The person behind it, if not all-powerful, is still very influential. However, we've only caught the small fry. We don't know if we can catch all the big fish behind them. If we leave them out there, who knows how many more children and women will be persecuted."
They hadn't seen many cases like this before, and Qin Qinghuai also looked very serious.
"Were all the abducted children and women sold by them?"
Feng Mao's face darkened further.
"It's not just children and lesbians, but also some strong men."
Some of the women were sold to families in the mountains who couldn't find wives, while others were kept as pets for their own amusement. If a woman became pregnant, she would give birth and then sell the child to another family. The profits they made from this were unimaginable.
Children are sometimes sold to illegal mines to do hard labor, sometimes sold to be child brides or child husbands, or some people have special fetishes, you know, especially some wealthy families, it's not new.
Some of the strong and healthy are even more thoroughly exploited by these unscrupulous people; their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, kidneys, and even their eyes are all valuable items that can be exchanged for money.
If someone's lucky enough to still be breathing after surgery, they're immediately thrown into illegal mining.
The words are ironic, but they are indeed the result of the interrogation.
Jian Dan was also somewhat surprised. Had organ trafficking already begun at this point? And could the surgical environment meet the requirements?
Oh right, it's not legal to begin with, so why bother with sterility? It's a highly profitable business, making money is the top priority.
Qin Qinghuai had indeed never encountered this level of darkness before, and he was shocked for several seconds before taking a deep breath.
"Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys? Are you serious?"
Feng Mao kept his eyes down, and his tone was very low.
"It's absolutely true, and this was revealed by the lower-level henchmen. They only know so much. I suspect that the higher up you go, the more tragic things must be, but for now, we have no idea."
