Chapter 341: Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, but once they eat it, the whole army is
Li Xinyun continued, "The government didn't believe they had only kidnapped a child. So they continued to search the yard carefully. They wanted to search every inch of the yard."
Zhang Chaoyang asked curiously, "Did they find anything? Or nothing at all? Did these traffickers die before they could accomplish their mission?"
If that's the case, it's really funny. They just kidnapped a child and the whole thing was put out.
Li Xinyun shook his head and said, "While the officers were still searching, five or six more people came in from outside. Hehe, the authorities were waiting for the human traffickers to fall into their trap, hahahaha."
Sun Shan and his companions also laughed happily. They didn't expect that when the human trafficker returned home, the government officials were already waiting for him.
Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "There were originally five or six people in the yard, and then five or six came back. Plus the two who were caught first, there are more than a dozen people now. It's a large gang that committed the crime!"
After Sun Shan's reminder, Liu Wenhuan and others also wanted to come over. A team of more than a dozen people is a large group. These human traffickers are planning to commit a big crime.
Li Xinjun shook his head and said, "There were more than a dozen people, almost twenty, and then a few came back one after another. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and they went out to watch the fun. But they were smart and knew they couldn't go out together, so they went out in batches and had their own fun."
Zhang Chaoyang said with a pale face: "Ayun, what you said is that twenty human traffickers are planning to kidnap children on the Dragon Boat Festival when there are many people?"
Sun Shan disagreed and said, "Ayun, did the traffickers who came back later kidnap any children and were caught red-handed by the government?"
Li Xinjun didn't mention this just now, but Sun Shan suddenly felt that Zhangzhou Prefecture was not the target of human traffickers.
Li Xinjun glanced at Sun Shan with appreciation and whispered, "Those traffickers really just went out to watch the fun and didn't kidnap any children from Zhangzhou Prefecture."
After hearing what Li Xinyun said, everyone was even more confused. If human traffickers don't kidnap children, what are they doing as human traffickers?
There are crowds of people during the Dragon Boat Festival, and both adults and children come out to play. This is the best time to kidnap children.
What’s more, Sun Shan really encountered human traffickers kidnapping children.
Seeing that no one understood, Li Xinyun continued, "The government was also puzzled. These human traffickers did not commit crimes on a large scale, but only kidnapped a little girl. They thought it was abnormal. They were planning to arrest the human traffickers and bring them back to the government office to torture them severely.
The captain of the police didn't believe that these human traffickers could outlast the torture inflicted by the government.
At this time, an official suddenly found that a brick in the kitchen was different, and pried it open out of curiosity, and then found a tunnel here! "
Sun Shan and his companions widened their eyes and couldn't help thinking that this case was indeed unusual, as there was even a tunnel.
The servants also looked at Li Xinyun in surprise, eager to know what was going to happen next.
Gui Ge'er covered his mouth tightly, fearing that he would appear too rustic and embarrass Mr. Sun, so he covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.
Li Xinyun continued: "Everyone was surprised to find the tunnel. The captain sent someone down."
When everyone heard the climax, Li Xinjun stopped.
The servant A Ping immediately poured him a cup of tea: "Young master has been talking nonsense on purpose. Now he is tired and needs to drink water."
Li Xinyun drank a few sips of water and continued, "After the officers came down the tunnel, they walked along the narrow tunnel for a long distance and finally found several basements. When they opened them, they saw... "
Li Xinjun paused again. Sun Shan and others wanted to ask Gui Ge'er to drag him out and beat him up.
Liu Wenhuan asked cooperatively, "What did you find?"
Li Xinjun said with a little sadness: "We found a bunch of children hiding in several basements. Hey, not just one or two, but a bunch of 50 or 60 children. There were both little boys and girls. It was so tragic."
Sun Shan and his companions opened their eyes wide, finding it too unbelievable. They couldn't believe it.
They actually abducted and sold fifty or sixty children. This is an extremely large-scale trafficking case.
Jiang Qian said distressedly: "Are those children okay?"
I really can't believe it. He kidnapped so many children. It's too blatant.
Li Xinyun said sadly: "When the police found so many children, they also felt that the incident was very serious. They immediately reported it to the prefect. After that, the prefect ordered the people to go home and not to stay on the street. He also closed the city gates and strictly checked everyone in and out. Anyone who could not prove that they were good citizens was taken back to the government office. The prefect was worried that the accomplices of the human traffickers would get wind of it and escape."
Sun Shan couldn't help but praise the prefect for his decisiveness. He was swift and resolute, and when he found a problem, he solved it without hesitation. It seemed that the prefect was a "clerk".
Sun Shan asked, "What happened to the fifty or sixty children?"
Li Xinyun sighed and said regretfully: "The government should send the child away immediately and call an emergency doctor to check.
Most of them were fine, a few became demented, and five or six children died.”
When Sun Shan and others heard that a child had died, they were suddenly confused. The tragedy had indeed happened.
Li Xinyun said angrily: "More than five or six children died. I heard from the rescued children that some of their companions died along the way and were dumped in the wilderness by human traffickers. They had not been in Zhangzhou for many days. I heard from the human traffickers that they would secretly transport them to Guangzhou in batches to sell them during the Dragon Boat Festival."
It seems that Zhangzhou Prefecture is not the destination of this group of human traffickers, but the prosperous capital of Guangnan Province is their final destination.
From a business perspective, selling the products in the provincial capital will definitely fetch a higher price than selling them in Zhangzhou, so it is a very correct decision for the traffickers to sell them in the provincial capital.
Li Xinyun continued, "When the traffickers saw that they had caught the people red-handed and that if they didn't tell the truth, the government would torture them. So they did tell the truth.
They split into two groups, kidnapped children from Huguang Province and Yuzhang Province, and gathered in Zhangzhou Prefecture, preparing to sell them to Guangnan Province.
After a pause, Li Xinjun whispered, "As for the second courtyard, it is the lair of the human traffickers. And this is not the first time they have committed a crime. They have been doing this for several years at least."
Sun Shan and his companions were shocked. The human traffickers in this world were too rampant.
Li Xinyun added: "They first transported the kidnapped children from neighboring provinces to Zhangzhou Prefecture, and then from Zhangzhou Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture or other prefectures. They never committed crimes in Guangnan Province, fearing that they would be discovered if they committed crimes. But today, two human traffickers saw that the little girl was really good-looking and could be sold for a good price, so they couldn't help but commit crimes."
Li Xinjun glanced at Sun Shan deeply.
I don’t know whether it was Sun Shan or the human traffickers who were unlucky. Rabbits don’t eat grass near their burrows, but once they did, the entire army was wiped out.
Alas, life is unpredictable.
Sun Shan understood why the human traffickers did not choose to sell people in Zhangzhou Prefecture, but instead chose to sell them in neighboring provinces.
This is called roving crime and risk differentiation.
This method of committing crimes is extremely difficult to be caught.
Not only are the provinces far apart from each other, but their administrations are also not connected and each province is responsible for its own affairs.
If children from Huguang Province and Yuzhang Province were abducted, what does it have to do with Guangnan Province? As long as no children are abducted in Guangnan Province, those sitting at the top position will have nothing to worry about.
