34. Empty Mountain (4)
Shao Lan sneered: "Hare you bargaining? Do you think this is buying vegetables or animals? The little girl asks for 30,000 yuan. If you have money, buy it. If you don't have money, leave it to others!"
The middle-aged man looked embarrassed and took out his pocket for a long time, but he couldn't make up enough money.
"Why are such a poor man so involved?" Shao Lan raised her eyebrows and waved to the two tall and powerful followers. "Turn out! Next time, check whether they brought enough money or not. No one who has no money is allowed to be put in-"
It was time to say that, and the middle-aged man suddenly rushed towards the little girl who was so scared that he didn't dare to look up. He hugged her tightly and shouted: "Hanhan! Hanhan-Do you remember your father? Come, look at my face, do you recognize me? In the past, you like to pull my father's eyebrows the most. If you pull it a little more, I will definitely not cry out for pain..."
"Why don't you do it quickly?" Shao Lan's face turned red, obviously angry, "If you can't afford it, you will pretend to be crazy and stupid. What's the point?"
The middle-aged man was pinched by a young follower who was several times stronger than him, and was caught off guard by a punch and kick. Finally, he was pushed and shoved.
Shao Lan clapped her and focused everyone's attention on her.
"If you want to buy it sincerely, you can take out all the money for me to see. If you are dishonest, get out as soon as possible. The further you go, the better!"
In the scene just now, Gu Qingtong saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. Several times of impulse to help came up, but she tried hard to restrain her.
The middle-aged man is in the same situation as Zheng Xin. The little girl who is shrank into a ball with her pigtails may be the biological daughter the man is looking for...
"Hey! Why are you stupid?" The man with scars on the corner of his mouth walked to Gu Qingtong and Ji Heng, "Why haven't you paid yet?"
Ji Heng turned his head and winked at Gu Qingtong, then he said, "I, I... these women, I don't like it, I want to go home!"
The man with scars on the corner of his mouth suddenly raised his fist and acted like he was beating Ji Heng.
Gu Qingtong quickly pretended to be afraid, blocked the man and Ji Heng, and kept bowing and apologizing.
"Brother, my brother is ignorant. Don't be as knowledgeable as him, it will cause trouble for you. Boss Shao, sorry, sorry..."
Seeing that there was another disturbance, Shao Lan was so angry that she couldn't even sit steadily.
"Baoshi! Even if you can't do anything well, why did you get a fool?"
"Sister Lan, they said it very nice when they entered the door..."
"Your ears are soft! If you dare to be careless, I will ask someone to discount your legs-" Shao Lan angrily scolded the man with scars on the corner of her mouth, signaling to the two followers, and immediately drove Gu Qingtong and Ji Heng away.
-
While the courtyard gate was closed heavily, Ji Heng held Gu Qingtong who was almost tripping.
They did not speak out and quickly moved away from the broken house where the traffickers were.
Gu Qingtong was extremely clear-headed: I can't go back to Bao Feng's home now. If the news leaked, wouldn't it affect my senior brother's family?
Ji Heng had the same idea. He suddenly stopped and lowered his voice and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Gu Qingtong looked at the sky and replied, "Go back to my car and discuss it."
Gu Qingtong always carried the key bag with her. When she fastened her seat belt and planned to dial Pan Shaofang, she realized that her mobile phone and Bluetooth headphones were all at Bao Feng's home. Because the work of the Crime Team was confidential, Gu Qingtong's car did not have an in-car phone, and only had a Bluetooth hands-free system that could be used when connected to the mobile phone.
She was very upset, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and complained secretly: "It's not enough to succeed..."
"A little thing will not belittle yourself." Ji Heng took off his handmade cloth shoes and took out his cell phone from his socks. "Xiaotong, tell me, is it a serious crime team or a team Pan's cell phone?"
"You have kept a hand?" Gu Qingtong's mood suddenly became clear.
"Yes, I thought they would search their bodies, but they could get in after making up a few lies." Ji Heng smiled, "Tell me, what is the number? I want to make a delicious phone call!"
"You really have..."
Gu Qingtong couldn't help laughing, and then reported the number of the landline of the Crime Team's office.
Ji Heng called over, and someone answered the answer soon.
"Who? Please speak--"
The voice was very strange. Obviously, the answerer was not Pan Shaofang or the other person in the Crime Team.
Gu Qingtong was not in a hurry to reveal her identity. After thinking about it, she decided to speak the code that the team members agreed upon: "Uncle, I'm in the vegetable market, what do you want to eat for dinner? Yellow croaker or hairtail?"
The other party was silent for three seconds and said, "Junior sister, your hearing has dropped."
Bao Feng?!
Gu Qingtong was surprised and happy: "Senior brother? Why are you..."
"As soon as you and Teacher Ji left, I took Xiuzhi and Xiaoxiao away from the village." Bao Feng clearly briefly explained the whole story, "Please settle them, I contacted my superior supervisor, and he instructed me to return to the serious crime team to wait for the next action."
"What you mean-" Gu Qingtong suddenly realized, "The purpose of your lurking in the mountains for so many years is to destroy this gang that trafficked people?"
"I can't explain it clearly on the phone. I'll tell you everything you need later." Bao Feng said calmly, "By the way, junior sister, Team Pan asked me to tell you, check the oil pipes and tires before driving, and pay attention to safety along the way!"
"receive!"
After hanging up the plane, Gu Qingtong and Ji Heng got out of the car for a check. After confirming that there was no problem, the two immediately drove back.
Before the building of the criminal police team could be seen, Ji Heng asked to get off in advance.
"Xiaotong," his voice was faintly exhausted, "Turn right at the intersection and you can stop, I have to leave."
Gu Qingtong was reluctant to leave, but she did not try to keep her. She did as Ji Heng said. When he untied his seat belt, she took off the keys of the house and handed them to him.
"Go to my house to take a shower, change your clothes and have a good sleep."
Ji Heng smiled: "I know my uncle is at home. Do you want me to meet my parents in a mess?"
"My mother's plane was eleven o'clock in the evening, and my dad went to pick her up." Gu Qingtong told the truth, "Their own house is idle for a long time and can't stay in the hotel. Tonight they should check in directly. Don't worry about resting at my house and wait for me to come back."
"All right."
Ji Heng no longer refused. He put the key in his pocket and pushed the door and got out of the car.
Before closing the car door, he said, "It feels so good to get the backup key without cracking the mailbox password!" Then, he kissed Gu Qingtong mischievously and walked away with big strides.
-
Gu Qingtong truthfully reported the situation he had learned in the meeting jointly held by the Critical Crime Team and the anti-trafficking department.
Based on the evidence provided by Bao Feng over the past few years, the General Administration issued a real-time approval: to close the Internet tonight to rescue the abducted children and women in Yuanta Village and surrounding villages.
Before the action, Gu Qingtong received a message from Ji Heng.
——Xiaotong, I have a feeling that you can't come back for midnight snacks. But it doesn't matter, I will wait for you all the time, hoping to see you on the breakfast table.
At the end of the news, he deliberately attached a pouting and kissing expression.
Gu Qingtong lowered her head and smiled slightly, and the warmth slowly flowed through her heart, and even the originally cold palms warmed up.
All the personnel of the Crime Team were ready to go, and everyone was determined to win, but Pan Shaofang became the most nervous one.
"Tonight, the Special Police Detachment cooperates with our actions and takes the lead in removing the trafficking gang led by Shao Lan! Note that you cannot hurt anyone unless you have to!"
"yes--"
Everyone answered in unison, like the war drums played on the eve of the battle between the two armies, which further boosted morale.
When he was walking downstairs and passing the hall, Gu Qingtong saw a familiar figure outside the door.
When she looked closely, it was not one, but two: Zheng Xin was standing with her back to the door, and the other was a middle-aged man who appeared in a broken house in Yuanta Village in the afternoon.
It seems that they are members of a civil servant seeking mutual aid organization.
Gu Qingtong did not go forward to say hello, turned around and walked a few steps, and came to the exit from the lobby to the parking lot. After adjusting her breathing, she hurriedly called Qian Yong's cell phone and asked, "Coach Qian, why did Zheng Xin run to our headquarters?"
"He can't wait, Officer Gu, he wants to find his son by himself." Qian Yong said that he had done his best but had little effect. "I advised him that he would not listen at all. In just half a day, he became crazy and even more impatient..."
"Coach Qian, please be sure to call him and ask him to go back and wait!" Gu Qingtong's tone was full of unquestionable determination, "I promise you that the child will definitely be found!"
The other end of the receiver was quiet for a moment, and Qian Yong sighed: "Police Gu, I thank you for yourselves first. If he really doesn't listen to the advice, I will take him away even if I drag him down."
Before closing the line, Gu Qingtong said: "Your trust is the greatest support for our work!"
"Sister Gu," Shi Dong walked over and asked, "Why haven't you gotten into the command car?"
Gu Qingtong couldn't react: "Captain Pan and Team Chen from the anti-trafficking department were responsible for the operation tonight. Why should I get on the command car?"
"You have another task."
Pan Shaofang's voice sounded behind her back. Gu Qingtong turned around, and the captain who was fully armed with live ammunition in front of her made her even more confused.
"Captain Pan? What are you doing with bulletproof vest?"
"Listen, Xiao Gu, the command car parked west of the main road outside the village. You, Team Chen and Bao Feng stayed behind." Pan Shaofang arranged the task in an orderly manner. "Shao Lan is from Fujiawu. We have already figured out her hiding place tonight. We have arranged police forces around the radius of 30 kilometers of Fujiawu and Yuanta Village."
"I do not understand……"
"What you need to do is to obey Team Chen's command." Pan Shaofang said, "It mainly includes monitoring tasks. You must pay close attention to the movements of Shao Lan and his gang and report to me at any time!"
Gu Qingtong blocked Pan Shaofang's way: "Captain Pan, wait a moment, without close-range equipment, how can I achieve monitoring?"
"You are impatient!" Pan Shaofang had no choice but to tell the truth, "Three years ago, the anti-trafficking department installed a spy next to Shao Lan, and nearly 100 women and children rescued by him. He will keep in touch with you throughout the action tonight."
