Su Nuan followed the guard and walked quickly to Liu Haibo's office.
After entering, Liu Haibo stood up to receive them. Looking at Su Nuan who looked anxious, he hurriedly asked what had happened.
Su Nuan briefly explained the whole story to Liu Haibo. Liu Haibo understood the seriousness of the matter. Now Gu Chengfeng was going alone to investigate the human traffickers' den. Even though he was the captain of the special forces, it would be difficult for him to resist a group of vicious human traffickers alone. Liu Haibo comforted Su Nuan first and asked her to wait in the office. He would immediately summon the police force to support Gu Chengfeng.
Liu Haibo first called his superior to report the situation. After receiving the approval order, he immediately summoned the police officers. After all of them were armed and quickly formed a team, he called Su Nuan and drove to the place where Su Nuan and Gu Chengfeng had separated before.
A group of people drove two or three police cars and followed Su Nuan's car to the place where they had separated before. After arriving at the place, Liu Haibo ordered the scouts to quickly look for the signposts left by Gu Chengfeng. After the scouts found the signposts quickly, the group walked and searched, following the instructions to the human traffickers' den.
Following the signs along the way, the group entered a remote village not far from Baiyun Temple. After entering the village, Liu Haibo was worried that the villagers would collude with human traffickers and attract the traffickers' attention, which would easily alert the criminals. So he did not rush into the village. Instead, he sent two plainclothes scouts into the village to investigate the situation and see if they could find Gu Chengfeng and meet up with him.
Su Nuan followed Liu Haibo's large group and waited for news not far from the village.
Half an hour later, Gu Chengfeng came back with two scouts.
Su Nuan stood not far from Gu Chengfeng, looking at him closely. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found that apart from his dirty clothes, he had no signs of injury. After knowing that he was not injured, she stood aside quietly, not disturbing them as they discussed and summarized the investigation information.
Gu Chengfeng said to Liu Haibo, "Haibo, I followed them from not far from Baiyun Temple all the way here. There are two remote courtyards on the east side of the village that seem a bit unusual. I followed the traffickers' donkey cart and entered one of their courtyards. I roughly determined that it was a traffickers' den. I haven't had time to scout the specific situation inside the courtyard. I'm worried that the villagers are colluding with the traffickers. I've explored the village and learned about the situation of the two courtyards."
Liu Haibo said, "Recorder, come here and record the situation in detail," and then gestured to Gu Chengfeng to continue.
Gu Chengfeng: "This village is quite remote. Most of the villagers are surnamed Liu. There are only a few outsiders. The two unusual courtyards are from outsiders. They are two brothers who fled from other places ten years ago. They passed by here and later settled here. They bought two residential plots and built two courtyards. The courtyards are far away from most houses in the village and are in a remote location. There are other entrances and exits near their homes that do not pass through the village, so the two brothers rarely interact with the villagers."
"I heard from the villagers that the two brothers' family is very well off. They don't farm and often go out to work to earn money. Sometimes they bring some friends from other places to stay for a few days. From this information, it can be seen that this is the gang's regular hideout. There are quite a lot of people in the yard now, and the specific situation in the yard is difficult to investigate. It's best to wait until night time and send someone in to investigate the specific situation."
Liu Haibo nodded in agreement. "Cheng Feng, you take a rest first. I will take two people in to contact the village and learn more about the specific situation."
Gu Chengfeng nodded and walked towards Su Nuan, holding Su Nuan's cold little hand. "Nuannuan, are you scared?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "I'm not afraid. I was just a little worried because he came here alone to investigate. Are you okay?"
Gu Chengfeng: "No, I'm fine, don't worry."
Under the current circumstances, we cannot rush into the yard. First, we don't know how many hostages the traffickers have. Second, we don't know the number of traffickers and their armed forces. If we rush in, we may very likely harm the hostages. All we can do is wait. After Liu Haibo meets with the villagers and understands the details, we can make arrangements.
The temperature is still very low and it is still cold to stay outside. The two of them got into the car they drove and waited for Liu Haibo to come.
Half an hour later, Liu Haibo came over with two people, an old man who looked to be in his 60s, and a man in his 30s. Gu Chengfeng and Su Nuan saw them coming and hurriedly got out of the car to inquire about the situation.
Liu Haibo briefly introduced the situation of the two people. The old man was the village chief. After Liu Haibo explained the purpose of his visit, he was very frightened. Rural people were originally afraid of the police. After understanding the situation and knowing that there was a human traffickers' den in his village, he was also scared. He hurriedly expressed that he would obey and cooperate with the police to catch the criminals. Later, he told Liu Haibo the situation of the suspect in detail. The basic information he knew was almost the same as that of Gu Chengfeng, but it was more detailed.
Later, the village chief said that the two brothers did not farm, and basically, they bought food from the village, and they consumed a lot of food. Every week, Liu Laosan, who was in charge of food management in the village, would deliver food to them. Today happened to be the time for food delivery, and the other man who came with the village chief was Liu Laosan.
Gu Chengfeng asked Liu Laosan, "Comrade Liu, every time you delivered food, did you notice anything unusual? Where did you deliver the food every time?"
Liu Lao San said timidly, "Every time I delivered food to the kitchen, it was always Mrs. Li who paid the bill with me. The strange thing is, they never let me into the house. Several times I heard children crying, but I thought it was their own children crying, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
Gu Chengfeng: "Is the general architectural layout of their house similar to the houses in your village?"
At this time, the village chief said, "All the houses in the village were built by our villager Liumutou and his fellow villagers. The basic layout is similar. I heard Liumutou mention before that both of their families built a large cellar not far from the storage room. They said it was for storing things. Rural people use cellars to store food, but the two brothers don't farm, so they don't have much food to store, so there's no need to build a cellar. Liumutou even advised them not to waste money."
