Because of the face of an Oriental, Chen Ling was taken back by the DPFI police. At the same time, more than 20 stowaways were taken back, including the two children.

Chen Ling was taken away, and Longli's activities could not continue. François and others hurriedly returned to Algiers to get Chen Ling out.

Chen Ling and the stowaways took the DPFI speedboat back to the dedicated dock and was detained in a temporary detention center near the dock.

According to international conventions, these stowaways will be sent back to the country after they have been identified as to their nationalities. However, the cost of this deportation is often impossible to implement, so stowaways are often kept in custody with very poor conditions.

The temporary detention center was small, and dozens of stowaways were locked up in two rooms. Chen Ling asked to be with the two children, but was refused by the police officer.

The room was imprisoned with iron doors and iron windows. The space was limited. A dozen people were crowded inside, and the air was very bad. The smugglers were mainly blacks. They came to the Mediterranean from the south of the Sahara. They didn't know what they had gone through. They were all exhausted, dejected, and smelled of peculiar smell.

There were various stains on the walls and floors of the room. Chen Ling could only stand upright against the door, endure the disgusting smell, and try to keep a distance from the people around him.

He knew that François and others would find a way, and he would be able to go out soon. But what about those two kids?

Because Algeria is close to Europe, people from sub-Saharan Africa often borrow from Algeria to smuggle to Europe. Chen Ling had heard of this a long time ago, but how could two Chinese children come here to smuggle?

The police officer who ordered Chen Ling to take away from the island came to the door, covering his nose and mouth with one hand, and opening the door with the key in the other.

"Chinese, come out!" he shouted.

Chen Ling stepped out in one step.

"Someone came with your ID, come with me." The policeman said coldly.

"Can the two children in the next room walk with me? They are locked up with so many people, it is not safe." Chen Ling asked.

The police officer ignored Chen Ling and walked forward on his own. He entered a working hall with a few tables and several police officers sitting there. François stood there.

Seeing Chen Ling coming out, Francois hurried up.

"Fill out the form and pay a fine here, 10,000 dinars." The police spoke in his unwavering voice.

Francois went through the formalities without saying a word.

"François, I must take those two children away." Chen Ling said. Smuggling is illegal, but two teenagers who are not yet fully capable of civil conduct should be treated differently.

François said: "Mr. Chen, I have contacted the boss of DPFI. He has one condition, that is, he must prove the nationality of the two children. If they are of the same nationality as you, he can consider paying for it. , Sent the two children back to China."

"Do they have passports?"

"The police said no. Because the smugglers must hand over their passports to the snakehead. Only after smuggling to the destination can they get the passports back."

"Oh? Didn't catch the snake head?"

"No. Smuggling is where people and passports are separated and take different routes." François explained, "Furthermore, we don't know the identity of the snakehead at all. We can't find the passport, so..."

"Those people on the boat, don't you know the snake head?"

François shook his head: "The people who organize the smuggling are very tightly organized. They hide behind and are difficult to expose. The few people on the ship are only transporters and are hired by the people under the snake's head."

Is there no way? Chen Ling was anxious, walking back and forth.

"Chinese, you can go. Don't obstruct your official duties here, or you will be locked up alone." The police officer said just now.

Locked up alone? It seems that there are vacant rooms here.

"François, the two children cannot be locked up with the stowaways. You can find a way to lock them in a separate room."

François nodded and said, "This should be possible, I'll contact you right away."

"Also, to ensure that we can visit them at any time." Chen Ling ordered.

The police officer came over with a handcuff in his hand: "Chinese, you have been arrested again."

Chen Ling ignored him at all, took his cell phone from François and started making calls.

The police officer was irritated by Chen Ling's ignoring attitude. He reached out to grab Chen Ling's phone, but was stopped by Francois.

"Police officer, it's almost done!" Francois said solemnly.

The police officer shouted: "Resist the arrest?" Several police officers in the hall were alarmed and immediately surrounded them.

"Police officer, don't talk nonsense! Which one do you want to arrest Mr. Chen?"

"Following the police officer's order in DPFI! With this one, I can arrest you two." The police officer was very arrogant and commanded several police officers to arrest Chen Ling and François.

The police surrounded the two of them, and two of them even wanted to pull out guns.

"Stop! That's enough!" A sharp shout came from the entrance of the hall.

Several police officers looked at the door and stopped immediately.

A police officer came in by the door and hurriedly walked over: "You immediately disperse!" After speaking, he smiled at François, and then nervously watched Chen Ling call.

Chen Ling's call was made to the camp of the Anyang Group. He asked someone to prepare some meals and deliver them to the two children.

After talking on the phone, Chen Ling looked at the police officer. He has never seen this police officer, and depending on the police rank, he should be a person in charge.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, we don't know your identity... I am the captain of the DPFI Marine Unit..." the police officer said respectfully.

"Oh, hello, captain, I happen to have a need. Can you put the two children you just brought back today in a separate room?" Chen Ling asked.

"No problem, the two minors should be given preferential treatment. I will deal with it immediately." The captain finished speaking and immediately turned around and said, "I heard it?"

The police officer bent over and nodded repeatedly.

"Hurry up!" the captain shouted, not facing Chen Ling's amiable expression at all.

"Captain, please arrange something to drink for the children. Someone will deliver food to the two children in a while, is it okay?" Chen Ling continued.

"Of course no problem, Mr. Chen! If you have their passports, you can take them away immediately." The captain said without hesitation. He just received a call from his boss, try his best to meet the requirements of the Chinese who came back today, and send him away as soon as possible.

"We have offended this person, but fortunately we have taken a little sense. We can't offend even a little bit!" This is what the boss said on the phone.

Therefore, the captain satisfies all Chen Ling's requirements within the scope of his own authority.

Chen Ling finally felt a little relieved.

"I want to see them, can I?" Chen Ling asked again.

"I'll take you there." The captain agreed immediately. "Please follow me."

With that, he walked to the room where the stowaways were detained.

The siblings have been locked in a separate room with chairs and tables, and two bottles of water.

Seeing Chen Ling had entered, the two children stood up immediately.

"Uncle, help us!" The boy held Chen Ling's arm with both hands.

The girl stood behind the table, sobbing.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I am here to help you. These policemen will also help you. Now putting you in this room alone, does it feel better?"

The two children nodded again and again.

"Are you hungry alone? I called someone to cook Chinese food, and I sent it to you right away." Chen Ling continued, "When you finish your meal, you answer a few questions, so I can help you get out of here. Go home, okay?"

"Go home, I want to go home..." The two children cried aloud when they heard the word home.

Chen Ling put them in his arms: "Don't worry, children. The police officer said just now, as long as you get your passport, you can go home."

"Uncle, our passports are not by my side. We have handed them over to someone." My sister said with a cry.

"Oh? Who is that person?"

"A man named Morris." My sister said.
