It seems that the villain is targeting me.

"Uh, uh..." The unlucky young man was sweating profusely. "Boss, Boss, actually, this plan was proposed by that comrade himself..."

The third captain was stunned for a moment: "Did you come up with it yourself?"

The unlucky guy nodded his head incessantly.

Captain Three hesitated. She was thinking: Who would take the initiative to propose disguising themselves as buyers to contact human traffickers?

You have to know that they are not just some street thugs, but an organized criminal gang.

These people are obsessed with profit and have committed capital crimes, so they are basically capable of doing anything.

How could any ordinary person be willing to get involved in such terrible trouble?

"Hiss..." The third captain thought for a moment and asked, "What unit does this person you're talking about belong to?"

Could it be that he is a retired soldier with great skills?

Under the captain's scrutinizing gaze, the unfortunate fellow hesitated for a moment before stammering, "It seems to be a, uh... college student..."

College Students.

——Three words, just three simple words, but they made the captain of the Third Brigade so angry that he almost collapsed.

Well, she made up her mind that she was here to cause trouble.

"What college student? I think he's a big fool!"

The third captain laughed in anger and dismissed the others with a wave of his hand: "Alright, let's talk about this later. Where are those criminals we arrested last night? Have they been found out during the interrogation?"

The young team member looked shocked and replied, "Not yet, Team Three."

They caught these criminals yesterday and interrogated them all night long, but they still couldn't find out anything.

All the prisoners were very tight-lipped.

Captain Three was very anxious about this matter.

When she was still an ordinary police officer, the phenomenon of child trafficking in the local area was already quite rampant.

For several years, she went deep into the case to investigate and solve it, but she only caught a few people. Although she also saved many poor children, she was never able to break the evil chain of interests.

Captain Three understood that as long as this chain of interests continued to exist, no matter how many human traffickers he put in jail, it would only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

But just yesterday, thanks to a completely unexpected piece of information, they successfully caught those people red-handed at the scene of the child trading.

Among the captured criminals, there was not only a buyer of the children - there was also a seller responsible for shipping the goods.

Captain Three judged that this was an excellent opportunity based on his many years of criminal investigation experience.

If we can pry open these guys' mouths, we might be able to interrogate them to find out the seller's specific location and transaction method.

She had finally caught such an opportunity, and she was determined to get to the bottom of it and dig out all the people behind it!

For fear of alerting the enemy, she suppressed the news of the capture.

The most pressing thing now is time. Information may leak out at any minute or every second, so we must speed up the interrogation.

Thinking of this, the third captain no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly left the office with several of his team members.

go with

The way to the interrogation room is through the reception room of the police station - it is now crowded with people, most of whom are children rescued in yesterday's operation.

That's why she was so anxious to solve the case.

Due to confidentiality requirements, the police cannot disclose information about the abducted children to the outside world for the time being.

——That will inevitably lead to countless relatives from all over the country flocking in, and the threshold of the police station will be trampled down.

By then, not to mention the human traffickers, even the people selling meat buns next door will hear the news and move their stalls over to make a killing.

It must be kept secret first.

But in this situation, at best we can keep it secret for two days.

The condition of these children was very bad. Almost every one of them had injuries on his body. Without exception, they were all emaciated from hunger. Several of them had broken arms, and some were even sick with fever.

Although a group of children had been secretly transferred to the hospital, several others had to remain under police protection for the time being.

The social impact must be taken into consideration. There are too many children who need protection. The news cannot be kept secret for long and will leak out sooner or later.

They have also tried to obtain information directly from the abducted children.

But most of the children were too young, and were so frightened and scared that they couldn't say anything.

"——These inhuman beasts are so cruel that they can even harm such a small child."

The third captain cursed in his heart.

She recalled the tragic scenes she had witnessed earlier.

She saw with her own eyes a child who was only four or five years old. After taking off his clothes, his body was covered with bruises from beatings and even cigarette burns.

Whenever the third captain thought of this, his heart would sink heavily.

She thought: The sooner the case is solved, the sooner I can rescue these children.

The third captain shook his head, as if trying to drive out all the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

As she passed the reception room, she glanced inside the door.

Huh? Why does it seem like there's a new face in there?

The third captain paused.

Due to staff shortages, most of her police officers were investigating the case, and only two civilian staff members were temporarily helping to look after the children.

The people assigned to me are all trustworthy internal personnel. There is no reason why there would be unfamiliar faces, right?

The third captain involuntarily turned a corner, then reached out and gently pushed open the half-open wooden door of the reception room.

The unfamiliar face was squatting in front of a child, asking something intently, and seemed not to notice someone coming in behind him.

The person being questioned was a disabled child who was missing both legs.

Captain Three had some impression of this child. He was rescued from the begging gang that was busted yesterday.

She remembered that the child must have had an intellectual disability. After being rescued, he did not cry or make a fuss, but just sat blankly in a corner of the room.

The third captain calmly walked around half a circle and took a clear look at the face of the stranger.

Well, she's a lesbian.

I was just watching when the lesbian... I mean the comrade, spoke.

"Well, the wound is quite worn out and may have a slight infection."

Xiao Niao looked up at the people around him and said, "You can take some common anti-inflammatory medicine first, but it's better to send him to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you, Comrade Xiaoniao," a police officer said gratefully, "it's hard for you to go all the way to the pharmacy to buy medicine..."

"These are trivial matters. Your work is more important."

The man named Xiao Niao shook his head and said this.

Captain Three glanced at the table and saw two brand new plastic bags on it.

One of them contained common medicines such as iodine bandages and amoxicillin, while the other contained some bread, jelly and mineral water.

The children in the reception room were eating quietly.

When Captain Three pushed the door open, a child looked up at her, but quickly buried his head in the food.

The third captain looked at the subordinate beside him and asked, "Who is this?"

The subordinate reported in a low voice: "She's here to look for someone. It seems a friend's child is missing, and she's been asked to help find him."

"Didn't we tell you not to reveal it?" Captain Three was a little angry.

"...Well," the team member looked at her awkwardly, "someone from above came to say hello..."

The young team member whispered a few words to her, and then the third team leader fell silent.

She gestured to the team members, meaning, "Send them away as soon as you're done searching."

At this moment, Xiao Niao, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up.

"Hello, officer."

She greeted Captain Three.

"Ah... hello." Captain Three responded vaguely.

This police officer is good at investigating cases and fighting criminals, but not so good at communicating with the victims' families.

"Are you here looking for someone?" Captain Three asked dryly, trying to find a topic. "Have you found someone?"

Xiao Niao shook his head.

Zheng Qiong was not among the rescued children.

She also checked those who were sent to the hospital, and found no fifteen-year-old girl who matched the description.

Captain Three thought: It’s strange, why are the victim’s family members so emotionally stable?

She didn't think much about it and just wanted to say some comforting words to persuade the person to go back - but before she could open her mouth, the other side

The person said something she didn't expect.

"Comrade police officer," Xiao Niao put his hand on the disabled child's shoulder, "I have some extra information that may be of help to you."

The third captain frowned when he heard this: "What information?"

"The kid just told me that." Xiao Niao said.

Captain Three was a little surprised. She looked at the child with a blank expression.

"Isn't this kid... a little problematic?" the third captain asked. "What did he tell you?"

"He said he was from Jinghai."

Xiao Niao spoke, switching between accents fluently and naturally.

She has always been very good at imitating these things. Just by listening for a while, she can imitate the other person's accent almost perfectly.

Xiao Niao gently patted the child's shoulder.

"Can you please repeat what you just said?"

The child looked at Xiao Niao blankly, then timidly looked at the policeman opposite.

He was a little scared - in fact, he had been very scared since entering the police station, so he stayed quiet and refused to speak.

But what the sister said just now sounded so familiar... just like what my parents had said to me before.

He hadn't heard such a kind voice since he was hit hard on the head.

So, under the encouraging gaze of everyone, the boy clumsily repeated what he had said to the bird before.

He was talking about his experience of being abducted along with another child.

From the boy's somewhat confused description, we can know that he was "dealt with" by those people and barely survived.

There was another child who died shortly after being 'treated'.

The treatment here refers to having hands and feet broken.

The young team member next to the third captain rubbed the back of his head. "This is indeed tragic, but this information is useless..."

The person is dead, and even if we look for him, we can only find his bones.

Xiao Niao smiled: "Aren't you interrogating the prisoner? This will definitely help."

The young team member was still bewilderedly asking, "Huh?" when the third captain suddenly gave him a rude awakening.

She cursed in frustration, "Donkey!"

Then the police officer no longer cared about the people in the reception room, turned around and ran to the interrogation room.

------

-

The seller was still very tight-lipped and nothing could be asked.

This is normal. He committed a capital crime. Once he confesses, he will be taken away and shot. If he keeps his mouth shut, he can still hope that the police cannot find evidence.

The third captain sat in the interrogation room where the buyer was detained.
