Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 619 Not a single good person in this family

Yes, it's the same case of the mentally disabled woman who went missing before.

After investigation, the final number of missing persons was narrowed down to twelve. During this time, Hua's team also followed the clues and found the real person in charge of the factory involved.

Ye Haiqiang is very cunning, but there are many things he can't sever ties with.

Starting a factory is not as simple as you might imagine.

Even if you hire someone to help, traces will still be left behind.

Criminal police are far more professional at investigating these kinds of matters than the industry and commerce departments.

"me……"

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Ye Haiqiang completely panicked. He stammered for a long time but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

Team leader Hua wasn't in a hurry; he just stood beside him and waited patiently.

At this point, any explanation would be futile; Ye Haiqiang had nowhere to retreat.

Can I have a cigarette?

When he said those words, Hua knew that his mental defenses had collapsed.

He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and put it to his lips, then lit it.

During this process, no one spoke in the interrogation room; the only sound was the "click" of a lighter lighting a cigarette.

Ye Haiqiang took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

"I was still too greedy."

He shook his head with a wry smile, as if he felt extremely remorseful for his actions:
"Twelve people. This time, even a suspended sentence is probably out of the question. Retribution has finally come."

He took another drag of his cigarette and continued:

"In mid-October last year, someone in the industry said that they needed a batch of women, who had to be under 35 years old, and they would take as many as they could."

"Their base price is 100,000, and they will charge extra for younger women who are in good health and have a good appearance."

A bitter smile appeared on his face:

"In the industry, 100,000 is considered an astronomical price. I was tempted at the time, but unfortunately I didn't have anyone on hand, and it's not easy to find people at the end of the year."

At this moment, Hua had already sat back down opposite him.

Seeing him put the cigarette to his lips again, Captain Hua seized the opportunity to ask:
"What exactly do you mean by the 'circle' you just mentioned? Also, what did you do before?"

Although he had a general idea in mind, he still wanted to hear the exact answer from the other party.

"Well..."

Ye Haiqiang exhaled a puff of smoke, thought for a moment, and replied:
"Doing dental work."

Upon hearing his answer, Hua unconsciously gritted his teeth.

"You've already done it, why are you still being so coy? Just say you're a human trafficker."

Team leader Hua stared at him and asked:
"How long have you been doing this?"

"I entered the industry with my family when I was 24." Ye Haiqiang answered without hesitation:
"It's been almost ten years now. Besides catching silkworms, I don't know any other skills. It's a pity that I haven't saved any money over the years. If I had quit earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation today."

Judging from the slang he unconsciously used, Captain Hua knew that he was a veteran in the industry.

"Catching silkworms" is also slang, meaning: kidnapping children.

You could tell from his voice that this was a professional child trafficker.

They started doing this with their family ten years ago, which means they are all human traffickers.

"Tell me about your family first."

Team Hua certainly understands the principle of eradicating evil completely.

Since there are no good people in the whole family, we should naturally wipe them out first.

There's nothing more to say.

Ye Haiqiang's expression suddenly became very strange, somewhat resentful and somewhat ferocious:

“My father was killed by villagers in a village three years ago. My mother was shot a year ago. My second uncle resisted arrest and was shot dead on the spot.”

“I am an only child, and now I am all alone.”

Heaven has eyes… Team Leader Hua suddenly felt a surge of exhilaration. Who said there was no retribution? This is karma in this lifetime.

Including Ye Haiqiang in front of us, this whole family has been wiped out.

However, despite these remarks, the investigation should continue.

Upon witnessing this scene, the officers in the observation room immediately assigned someone to investigate Ye Haiqiang's family background.

"continue."

Team Hua stared at him and said:
"How did you end up taking on this job?"

He could tell that Ye Haiqiang had given up all hope.

In other words, I've accepted my fate.

Since Ye Haiqiang's mother was shot, he should know how human traffickers are punished.

Trafficking three or more people is considered a serious offense, punishable by a minimum of ten years.

Ye Haiqiang has been in this line of work for nearly ten years, and he probably can't even count the number of people he has trafficked.

With twelve people abducted this time, as he said, even a suspended death sentence has become a pipe dream.

"Later I learned from a street vendor that an industrial park was employing mentally disabled people as illegal workers."

After saying that, Ye Haiqiang quickly explained:
"The 'sell information' business involves selling information. There are people who specialize in this. There are several links in the chain, and even if the middleman is caught, the trail will be broken."

"I thought about it carefully at the time, and the buyers who ordered the goods before did not have any requirements on intelligence, but mainly had restrictions on age and gender."

At this point, Ye Haiqiang's tone became somewhat excited:
"So I went back to the person who had leaked the information and confirmed it with him again. After receiving his affirmative reply, I immediately decided to go all out."

Finally, he said with emotion:

"After this job, I plan to retire from this business and never touch it again. I don't want to live this kind of life in constant fear."

That's quite a dream... For a veteran detective like Captain Hua, the most disgusting idiom is "washing one's hands of one's life".

Can someone commit an unforgivable crime and simply wash their hands of it with a casual "wash your hands of your sins"?
When he heard Ye Haiqiang refer to people as "goods," a nameless anger surged within him.

However, he could tell that Ye Haiqiang was telling the truth, because they had already caught the middleman.

It is true that there are people who specialize in selling information in the middle, and there are several links in the chain. Their previous leads were also cut off at the middlemen.

Seeing that the person opposite him did not speak, Ye Haiqiang paused for a moment, then continued:

"This kind of opportunity to sell fast goods is rare, and I didn't want to miss it, so what happened next came about."

"Actually, my specialty is catching silkworms. This is the first time I've tried to lure them, and I ended up failing because of it."

He sighed at the end, looking quite annoyed.

Team leader Hua had handled several human trafficking cases before, so he knew what he meant by "fast goods".

The term "fast goods" refers to goods that are easy to sell and can be quickly sold to buyers, such as the buyer in front of us who makes a request and actively seeks to buy.

Moreover, the Chinese team also gleaned another crucial piece of information.

Ye Haiqiang took the job mainly for the money.

Twelve mentally disabled women, after deducting costs, could bring him a one million yuan profit in a single transaction. Such a high profit is an irresistible temptation for these human traffickers.

Just as Ye Haiqiang himself said, this was a rare opportunity.

That's why he did something he wasn't good at.

"After you've tricked someone into your hands, how do you make the deal with the next buyer?" Captain Hua asked.

He has now basically figured out the case, and if he's lucky, he should be able to find the twelve women who were sold soon.

“I will send the person to the designated suburban warehouse. After they pick up the person, they will notify me the next day to pick up the cash at the designated location.”

When Ye Haiqiang answered, his face showed no emotion, and his voice was calm and indifferent:
"We will not meet at all."

Cautious enough... Team Leader Hua immediately realized that this lead might be lost.

Just as he was considering how to continue his questioning, Ye Haiqiang, on the other end, took the initiative to speak:

"As far as I know, that buyer's request was not targeted at a specific city or province, but rather at a nationwide level."
