Chapter 385 Old Temple
"Hold!"
Lü Jiawei roared and kicked over a broken tile on the ground.
He searched the old temple quietly but didn't see a single person, which greatly annoyed him.
I came full of hope, but seeing this scene was like a bucket of cold water being poured over my heart.
How can we explain this to the girl's family!
Hou Jun and Xiao Yu also felt a tightness in their chests and sighed heavily!
The pickpocket spoke with such conviction that he had seen human traffickers in Laomiao, but now it seems he was just playing him.
This is so infuriating!
The temple's statues, now only half intact, are so dilapidated that it's impossible to identify which deity or Buddha they represent.
Chang Kun sniffed as he approached the statue; he always felt there was a smell of incense or smoke in the temple.
"Come and see!" Upon seeing what was inside the hole in the remaining half of the statue, Chang Kun called the other three over.
"This is?"
"Someone used to live here!"
"Judging by the ashes, it won't be more than two days!"
The other three exclaimed in surprise, and Lü Jiawei climbed onto the statue platform and jumped directly into the hole in the statue.
"Look what this is!"
Less than a minute later, Lü Jiawei stood up, holding a shoe in his hand.
These shoes are small and delicate, with two red plum blossoms embroidered on the surface, making them quite exquisite. They are clearly meant for a little girl.
"These shoes, the workmanship, and such a young girl—how did she end up in this dilapidated temple? She must have been kidnapped!"
At this moment, Lü Jiawei seemed to be possessed by a famous detective, deducing so much from a small embroidered shoe.
"But...but knowing this is useless!" Hou Jun's words dampened Lü Jiawei's excitement.
"Sigh! Yes, the hideout has been cleaned up; it's probably been abandoned."
Lu Jiawei was disheartened, feeling that the hope of finding the little girl was slim.
"Look around again to see if there are any other clues. If all else fails, I have one last trick up my sleeve."
"Chang Kun, are you telling the truth?" Lü Jiawei's hope was rekindled, and he stared intently at Chang Kun.
"Of course it's true. This move can't be used lightly. There's really no other way."
"Good brother!"
Lu Jiawei leaped out of the hole in the statue, grabbed Chang Kun, and excitedly patted his back.
"Go away, get out of here. You can't find a partner, so you come and hug me? Look at you, all covered in dust, you've made me dirty."
Chang Kun pushed Lü Jiawei aside with disdain.
Lu Jiawei laughed heartily. Upon learning that Chang Kun had a way to help find the little girl, he immediately felt incredibly relieved.
"Who says you can't find a partner? I'll do as you said, Chang Kun, and have my mother arrange blind dates for a few girls from the countryside."
"Stop joking around, let's look around and see if there are any clues!"
The four of them searched the old temple thoroughly, but found only a pile of household garbage, with no clue as to where the human traffickers had gone.
"Sigh, it seems we really can't find one. We can only hope for Chang Kun."
To everyone's surprise, Chang Kun smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true."
He had searched high and low without finding anything, and just when he thought he could only go back to his unit to get the fat woman's blood and rely on his bloodline connection to find the person, a sneaky criminal figure appeared in his senses.
At this point, the criminal approached the old temple, and there is a very high probability that this person was one of the human traffickers.
Shh! Quiet, someone's coming!
Chang Kun gestured to the other three.
After waiting for two minutes, the criminals outside kept looking back, but still didn't get into the temple.
"Chang Kun, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Shh! Xiao Yu, when have you ever missed seeing Chang Kun?"
"Yes, let's wait a little longer."
Hou Jun and Xiao Lü trusted Chang Kun very much.
As the three were whispering to each other, a middle-aged man with a crew cut strolled in.
He glanced around the temple and, not seeing Chang Kun and the others hiding in the corner, went straight to the statue, forcefully lifted a stone slab, and pulled out a small bundle.
"Hehehe..."
Just as he was grinning foolishly, the small bundle in his hand was snatched away.
Before he could react, Xiao Yu knocked him to the ground with a thud.
"Hey! Who are you! How dare you steal my things!"
Hou Jun had already opened the bundle beside him; inside was a small pile of grain coupons and a few small gold locks.
Chang Kun then realized that these items were of very little value, and the asset tracking system had not found them at all.
He exchanged a glance with Hou Jun and said, "You're something else, daring to hoard things. You've got guts!"
The crew-cut man shouted, "I didn't! This was meant to be donated to the organization! I... I'm just keeping it temporarily!"
organization?
This human trafficker is actually organized?
The men's expressions immediately became much more serious. If it were just human traffickers abducting children and women, one could say it was for money.
Since they can be called an organization, this situation is clearly unusual!
"Hmm! Why are you keeping this a secret? Tell me, and don't forget how the organization punishes people!"
Chang Kun continued to swindle him.
The crew-cut man trembled all over, prostrate on the ground, not daring to lift his head: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Now you know you were wrong? Too late. Come on, let's go back together!"
"Go back? No! I'm not going back!" The crew-cut man struggled suddenly and looked up at Chang Kun and the others.
"You...you're not from the organization! Who are you?!"
Chang Kun said calmly, "Oh? You know everyone in the organization? Believe me or not, I'll tie you up here and wait for them to find you. Are you sure you want that kind of consequence?"
"No, brother, please... Let's talk this out. What do you want? You can have all the money, just let me go?"
Lu Jiawei could no longer contain himself and slapped the crew-cut man on the head: "Tell me right now, where have you tied up all the children!"
The crew-cut man squinted at the group, then realized what they meant: "You're police officers?"
Chang Kun stopped Lü Jiawei from speaking.
"Don't worry about who we are, just tell us everything you know, or else when the organization catches you, hehe..."
The crew-cut man swallowed hard. "Then... if I tell you, will you let me go?"
"Still trying to bargain? Xiao Yu, tie him up and throw him here!"
"No, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
According to the man with the crew cut, some members of their organization were almost caught by the police yesterday. They moved out of the dilapidated temple overnight and directly out of Beijing to a house in the southern suburbs.
"Are all the children you arrested together?"
The crew-cut man shook his head: "That house isn't in a very good location. It's just a temporary base for us. The children are temporarily staying somewhere else, and I don't know exactly where."
"You don't even know this? What good are you?!" Enraged, Lü Jiawei kicked the crew-cut man several times.
After repeated interrogation, the group learned that there were eight or nine people in the house, all of whom were armed. It would be difficult for the four of them to subdue them.
Chang Kun and the other three exchanged glances. They realized they couldn't handle this on their own, so they decided to go back to their unit for help.
After all, they still need to find out where the children are being held; they can't just storm in and kill all the traffickers.
