She slammed the notebook in her hand onto the table and looked coldly at the buyer sitting opposite her who was acting nonchalantly.

The buyer was a member of the begging gang.

Seeing the third captain sit down, this guy even whistled playfully: "Hey, beautiful, new tricks?"

The third captain didn't waste time talking to him: "You killed a child. I have three or four informants who can directly identify you."

——This is a lie.

She only had a poor little boy in her hands, and because of his mental problems, nothing he said could be submitted as evidence.

But the prisoner didn't know that the officer was bluffing, and his face turned pale.

"Where did you leave him?"

The third captain folded his hands together and said, "Backyard? Out in the wild? Moat? Oh... then it seems to be the moat."

The third captain leaned his head against the back of his chair and instructed the officer who was taking notes, "Go check the bottom of the moat."

At this moment, the calm look on the face of the begging gang member no longer existed.

About half an hour later, the man confessed.

Captain Three took a deep breath and walked out of the interrogation room. She rubbed her index finger and thumb gently, and subconsciously reached for the cigarette box in her pocket.

At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone sitting on a chair outside the interrogation room.

"Officer," Xiao Niao waved at her, "Is the interrogation over?"

The third captain paused and put the cigarette box back into his pocket.

"Ahem, the interrogation is over," she cleared her throat. "Thank you so much for this time, this Xiao...um, Xiao..."

"Officer, you're joking," Xiao Niao smiled and held her hand, "Just call me Big Silly Bird."

The third captain: “…”

Xiao Niao: "Officer, the soundproofing in your office isn't very good."

The third captain: “…”

The third team leader: "Ahem, well, college students..."

Fragments of information flashed through the mind of the third captain, and he finally remembered the name that the people in the reception room had mentioned once before.

...The name contains a bird.

It’s over, Captain Three thought expressionlessly, I’ve offended someone again with my big mouth.

She didn't know how many times she had coughed today, trying to hide her cough. Anyway, she coughed and changed the subject: "...My name is Lando."

"Officer Lan." Xiao Niao nodded.

"I have some other information," the bird said. "Do you want to reconsider letting me pretend to be the buyer?"

Officer Lando's already complicated expression suddenly became even more complicated.

At first, she thought that Xiao Niao's information was just an accident.

But now, Lando is very

It is certain that the other party did this intentionally.

She knew she was interrogating a prisoner... This was not difficult. She could guess it by hearing the gossip of the police officers around her, or by seeing the closed door of the interrogation room.

But the other party actually saw that the interrogation had encountered a bottleneck - and even knew where the bottleneck was. This is quite interesting.

The job of a criminal police officer is quite demanding on one's eyesight.

As Lando has been able to sit in the position of team leader, her eyesight has undoubtedly been honed through years of practice and has become quite sharp.

She could tell: this man must have experience dealing with human traffickers.

In fact, the bottleneck that Lando encountered during the interrogation was actually very simple to explain: the prisoner was afraid of retaliation and did not dare to speak to the police.

Especially those buyers, at the beginning, no matter what kind of sales talk they used, they didn't say a word at all.

His attitude was quite casual, and he wasn't afraid at all when he was taken to the police station.

These people are really not in a hurry at all - because buying a child is not a serious crime and the maximum sentence is a few years.

Especially in those remote areas, even if human trafficking really happens, how many buyers go to jail?

Kidnapping is a serious crime, but buying is not necessarily a serious crime.

Rather than going to jail for a few years, these people are more afraid of retaliation from those vicious sellers.

Compared to those of them who only dare to bully children, those guys are the real ruthless ones who can use knives to kill people.

If crimes also have a contempt chain, forcing children to beg on the streets can probably only be classified as small shrimps hanging around at the bottom.

In short, these people believe that they will be released within a few years, so they are not afraid of police interrogation at all.

But the crime of murder is different - murder can be punished by life imprisonment or even death.

Decades of imprisonment are enough to strike fear into any determined criminal, causing him to forget about possible retaliation and desperately try to climb up the chain of interests in order to escape punishment.

This is also why the prisoner just now chose to confess: he could not afford the cost and his psychological expectations were shattered.

...But it’s not enough, still not enough, Lando thought.

She used her interrogation skills and intelligence advantage to break down the psychological defenses of a prisoner, but the prisoner was just an ordinary member of a begging gang.

The level of sellers he can access is very limited.

Lando already has some of the things she wants, but these are far from enough to take down the entire trafficking gang.

Do you want to continue the interrogation?

The breakthrough has actually appeared. According to Lando's experience, as long as we are patient and interrogate them one by one, sooner or later the others will choose to confess.

But time is running out now, the opportunity is fleeting, and she can't wait for these people to confess.

One of the great strengths of Captain Lando of the Third Battalion is that he can make decisions immediately in critical moments.

Before, when she received the anonymous call, she also made a quick judgment.

Even though the call was made from a pay phone and the person reporting the crime sounded like a child.

...But when she found that the criminal den provided by the other party was consistent with some of her own investigation results, Lando immediately decided to investigate the urban village.

As a result, the criminals were captured that night.

Of course, Lando would not simply regard this as a kind-hearted person helping them solve the case for free.

As a police officer, she thinks more complicatedly:

Landuo suspected that the call was from these people's "colleagues", who wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and use the police's hands to eliminate the other party.

But even if it is really such a "black eating black" incident, it is a good thing to be able to crack down on the begging gang.

She is a very adaptable person and changes her thinking easily.

Such plots seem to appear frequently in Hong Kong movies. Those powerful old policemen always have one or two special "informants".

Officer Lando looked at the bird.

"...I won't ask you where you got this information from," Lando asked. "If you know anything, please tell the police."

"I can't tell you now," Xiaoniao shook his head.

“But if you can give me the phone number of those sellers, I can tell them their exact location,” she said.

The conditions for handling cases at that time were quite difficult. They didn't even have a DNA matching system, and fingerprints had to be checked with the naked eye.

Officer Lando had only heard of positioning based on cell phone signals - it seemed that foreign countries had this technology.

However, the three captains were usually knowledgeable and knew that there were many masters among the people, so they were not too surprised by this.

She was just quite skeptical: "Really? Can you do such a thing?"

Actually, it’s not me who can do it, Xiaoniao thought, it’s Tongzi who can do it.

A little-known fact that may never be used: Under normal circumstances, a call must last more than two minutes before tracking and positioning can be performed.

But with the system in place, even if the call is disconnected within a second, it can still accurately lock the phone.

Xiao Niao was very confident about this. She nodded and said, "I can do it, as long as I have the phone number."

Officer Lando pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words. "Alright, I'll assume you can do it... but asking you to pretend to be the buyer is impossible."

“Please understand that we police also have our own

His own position.”

Officer Lando earnestly advised, "We have to protect your safety. The police will never let an ordinary citizen negotiate with such a vicious criminal..."

The most important thing is that in her eyes, Xiaoniao is still an unidentified "suspicious person".

——How could we possibly give such an important undercover mission to a guy like this?

Officer Lando's attitude was very firm: "This matter is not negotiable."

Xiao Niao: “…”

Xiao Niao sighed.

"Okay," she said, "thank you for your hard work, Officer Lando."

"It's my duty." Lando replied.

Chapter 46 Found You, Delicious Little Bird

The porter checked his attire again: hat, gloves, and most importantly, mask.

It is a very breathable style that covers the entire face properly without affecting normal breathing.

It was the hottest time of the summer, the air was scorching and dry, and the grass stems on the roadside were dried and yellowed by the sun. When she crossed the street during the day, she could feel the grass stems crackling and breaking under her feet.

Fortunately, the temperature dropped a little after dark, otherwise, she would definitely not be able to bear to continue working while dressed so warmly.

She sat down to rest for a while, then continued to move the boxes marked "FRAGILE" on the ground.

The box was mainly made of foam polyethylene board, which was now empty, and part of it was stained with some disgusting pink stains.

There was a note taped to one of the boxes stacked at the top, with the words "heart," "kidney," "liver," and "lung" written in English on the left side.

The horizontal axis shows Arabic numerals and dates.

She silently picked up the note with her fingers and placed it somewhere away from herself.

No matter how many times she read it, her body would feel a strong nausea because of these cold words, and she could never get used to it no matter what - even though she had seen many bloodier products.

It would be better to rest for a while, the porter thought, I am really exhausted today.

But she was unable to rest as she had wanted. She stopped all her movements stiffly, and her posture looked quite funny.

She had no choice but to stop.

Because... a knife was thrust out from behind and pressed against her carotid artery.

"do not move."

Xiao Niao stretched out his other arm and clamped her neck tighter from behind.

The sharp blade pressed tightly against the skin, leaving a line of blood due to the user's tension.

"Drop everything in your hands," Xiao Niao ordered, "and put your hands where I can see them."

She did so and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Please don't kill me."

The knife that was across her carotid artery was retracted, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a metal cylinder was pressed against the back of her head.

The sound of a bolt being pulled.

"Keep quiet," Xiao Niao continued to give instructions, "Don't look back, and sit down on that chair slowly."

The porter hesitated for two seconds, wondering whether to subdue the man immediately. She felt a little anxious. The man behind her sounded like a novice, so he shouldn't be difficult to deal with...

But the person behind him had a gun.

A novice with a gun is actually more terrifying than an experienced one. She was worried that she would die in an accident, so she raised both hands quietly.

Please don't kill me, she repeated.

The porter was thinking in his mind: What is the probability that I can kill the other person in the instant I turn around?
