Old Qian's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, but returned to normal after a moment.
"Comrade police officer, if you have evidence, just arrest me directly. Don't try to deceive me with words. I won't fall for that."
Old Qian turned his head away and didn't look at Xu Ning's expression. His whole body showed his unwillingness to cooperate.
Xu Ning stuffed Qin Qiang and the girl into the carriage, not caring about Lao Qian's attitude: "Okay, since you won't cry until you see the coffin, just wait here quietly."
Xu Ning's confident expression made Lao Qian feel a little uneasy. After doing so many bad things, he couldn't help but wonder which one of them had the flaw.
Xu Ning has been a policeman for several years. Although he can't say he is completely accurate in judging people, he can at least be about 70% accurate.
It's obvious that Qian Chuan is not an honest person. He looks so calm. Maybe he was caught by the police before and escaped by luck.
Xu Ning didn't say much to them. After the train arrived at the station, local police would naturally come to take over.
…
Yao Qiyue pushed open the door of the lounge while holding Xiaobao, followed by Zhao Xiaoya with her head lowered.
Old Qian saw Yao Qiyue subconsciously move back defensively.
Zhao Xiaoya saw Xu Ning and said in a clear voice, "Comrade police officer, I can testify that they are kidnappers."
When Old Qian heard this, he was obviously stunned, and after a moment he smiled sarcastically.
"I know you don't want to marry in Jiangbei because you think it's too far from your parents' home."
"But Nan Fang gave all the betrothal gifts to your family. You can't just take the money and come here to wrongly accuse me."
"I'm just the middleman for you two. To put it bluntly, I'm the matchmaker of ancient times, but I'm a man."
"If you say I'm a kidnapper, that's really slanderous."
At this time, the golden book appeared above Lao Qian's head, and a torn page of the book was shining with golden light.
[Qian Chuan, over a period of fifteen years, trafficked sixty-seven young girls and one hundred and twenty infants under the guise of marriage.]
[Many of these infants and young children are orphans from the border region.]
[At the time, a war broke out on the border, and many ordinary residents were affected by the fighting. Qian Chuan found many orphaned children there and later sold them to various parts of the country.]
[Many orphans even thanked Qian Chuan for finding them a place to stay, and Qian Chuan realized that this was a way to make huge profits.]
[In the following decades, his subordinates gradually increased, and he began to dabble in marriage: he introduced poor girls to potential partners and took a large amount of betrothal money from them.]
Yao Qiyue felt a little uncomfortable. She actually felt that she could not define Lao Qian's behavior.
War causes people to lose their families, their lives, and their habitats.
Lao Qian took some risks to find a home for the children.
But he profited from it.
Yao Qiyue suppressed the chaotic emotions in her heart and looked at Qian Chuan with some complexity.
I thought, this might be a principled kidnapper.
The matter of the children may be a momentary kindness of Lao Qian, but the girls' wedding leave is purely disregarding their life or death.
Some girls have been entrusted with the wrong people throughout their lives and have suffered abuse that is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Zhao Xiaoya pointed at Lao Qian and raised her voice, saying, "You're not just a kidnapper, you're also a murderer."
Zhao Xiaoya uttered the word "murderer" with gritted teeth.
She looked at Lao Qian as if she wanted to eat him.
Such strong hatred shocked everyone present.
The carriage was very quiet, and the only sound was Zhao Xiaoya's heavy breathing.
Everyone looked at Zhao Xiaoya, even the usually calm Yao Qiyue felt a pang in her heart.
Zhao Xiaoya knew what she meant by this, and she wanted to produce actual evidence.
With trembling hands, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom, which was bulging with something.
She carefully opened the handkerchief, revealing two silver bracelets with old patterns on them.
Yao Qiyue vaguely saw mottled bloodstains on the pattern.
Beneath the bracelet was a handkerchief and a marriage certificate.
When Xu Ning saw these things, his face became serious and he looked at Lao Qian as if he was looking at a sinner.
He walked forward carefully and asked, "Can you show me these?"
Zhao Xiaoya looked at the silver bracelet with nostalgia and handed it over carefully.
"Three years ago, Qian Chuan brought a good-looking young man into the village and said he wanted to arrange a marriage for his son. He was willing to pay 20 yuan, 50 kilograms of rice, and two sets of clothes as a betrothal gift."
"The conditions are very generous. Many families in the village have brought their daughters to see him."
"But they both fell in love with Meng Huihui, who didn't go to see her."
"Sister Hui was just hanging out clothes in the yard, and these two men saw her and were so stunned by her beauty that they asked to marry her. It's really ridiculous."
Meng Xiaoya's voice gradually became lower, and her voice was filled with a hint of nostalgia and sadness.
As if she remembered the face of an old friend, she couldn't help but shed tears.
She picked up her sleeve and casually wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Looking at Lao Qian and Qin Qiang's faces, he was filled with resentment.
"That's your son, right? Isn't his name Qian Dayong? What's his name now?"
"Did you trick the woman next to him into coming here? She's quite pretty. Who are you planning to hand her over to for their entertainment?"
Qian Chuan and Qin Qiang's expressions changed, but the girl next to Qin Qiang looked bewildered.
She nervously grabbed Qin Qiang's arm and asked in fear, "Brother Qin, what is she talking about?"
"Where are you sending me?"
Qin Qiang suppressed his inner uneasiness, patted the girl's arm and said comfortingly: "Don't listen to this lunatic's nonsense. You are my legitimate wife, and I will not give you away to anyone else."
When Zhao Xiaoya heard that the marriage was formally arranged, she couldn't help but burst into crazy laughter.
“Hahahahahaha…”
"What a formal marriage..."
"Have you obtained a marriage certificate? Is this girl not old enough to get a certificate?"
"Do you think you're getting married just by setting up two tables of banquets in the village?"
"That's ridiculous!"
"Hahahaha...how ridiculous!"
"You're such a fool! You need a marriage certificate to get married!"
The girl was frightened by Meng Xiaoya's crazy look. She hid behind Qin Qiang uneasily, unwilling to believe that what Meng Xiaoya said was true.
In their hometown, having a wedding banquet means getting married.
And the village chief also went drinking that day.
This woman is like a madman, and what she says cannot be believed.
The girl held Qin Qiang's arm and closed her eyes to avoid looking at Meng Xiaoya's sad face.
Meng Xiaoya didn't care about the girl's stubborn look. As long as the police believed what she said, it was enough. What did other people's life and death have to do with her?
What you can’t persuade or stop is someone else’s life, just like a tree needs to take root in the soil to survive. If you go up and pull out the roots, it will die.
