I searched all over Xunfang Xiaozhu, but still found nothing.
"It's already dark, Rongrong must be scared..."
Imagining Rongrong's panic, Tong Tong couldn't help but burst into tears. She shed more tears today than in the past twenty-five years combined.
Sergeant Wang said: "Captain Jiang, every house has been searched. Should we switch to another house?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while: "Search again."
Upon hearing this, Nana immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "Still searching? If you keep searching like this, can I still do my business?"
Sheriff Wang said sternly: "I'm warning you, if you dare to be verbose again, I will handcuff you!"
Nana sneered and said: "Who are you trying to scare? Do you want me to call Councilman Chen of the City Hall and ask him to come and comment?"
Feng Qingshan said: "Oh, no wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out you have a backer."
Nana pouted her lips, looking dissatisfied and dissatisfied.
Jiang Xinyu glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, if we can't find it this time, we'll leave immediately."
As he spoke, he walked towards the inside, and the group of people followed him in.
After searching several houses, the air was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine. Jiang Xinyu raised his nose to smell it and followed the smell to the outside of a house.
Nana squeezed through and stood outside the door and said: "Cui Cui, open the door, the police officers want to search."
The door creaked open, and a young girl with an immature face opened the door and said timidly: "Godmother, didn't you search it just now?"
Nana snorted: "Only the devil knows!"
The room is divided into an inner room and an outer room. There is a round table and two chairs in the outer room. The soup on the table is still steaming.
The inner room is Cuicui's bedroom. The furnishings in the bedroom are extremely simple, except for a very Western-style dressing mirror and a bed with a pink curtain.
Jiang Xinyu took the soup and smelled it, then said to Cuicui standing aside: "Are you sick?"
Cuicui nodded and said nothing.
"What disease do you have?" Jiang Xinyu continued to ask.
Cuicui raised her head in surprise, wondering why the officer was asking about this.
Nana said angrily: "Sir, you are really considerate of the people. I would like to thank you for your concern on behalf of Cuicui. She has a woman's disease. Even if I tell you, you don't understand."
Jiang Xinyu put down the bowl of soup and medicine and said calmly: "Isn't it just a medicine that delays women's success? Is there anything I don't understand?"
Nana opened her mouth wide in surprise, and then giggled like an old hen: "Hey, sir, you are really knowledgeable, you even know this."
During the years when Jiang Xinyu was a police officer, he often dealt with brothels and knew something about the activities there.
Cuicui didn't look like she was sick at all. When she smelled the decoction, Jiang Xinyu knew in her heart that it was a decoction to delay a woman's menstrual period.
Many brothels force prostitutes to drink this decoction in order to allow them to receive customers every day.
"Where is the place where soup and medicine are made?" Jiang Xinyu asked.
Cuicui whispered: "Dongkuaoyuan..."
Nana glared at her fiercely and scolded: "Drink the medicine quickly, why are you wasting your time!"
When she came out of the room, Tong Tong was the last one. She kicked in and out of the door and said to Cuicui: "How old are you?"
Cuicui hesitated: "18."
"You have 18? I don't think you even have 15."
"My godmother said I'm 18..."
"Then you don't know how old you are?"
"I……"
Cuicui wanted to continue talking, but when she looked up and saw Nana glaring at her, her face suddenly turned pale and she quickly closed the door.
Tong Tong looked at Nana with a fake smile on her face, then at the closed door, quickly caught up with Jiang Xinyu, and whispered: "Xinyu, I think there is something wrong with that Cuicui."
"What's the problem?" Jiang Xinyu said as he walked.
"Look at how old she is. To come out and do this kind of thing. She looks younger than Little Button... She must be forcing a girl into prostitution!"
Before Jiang Xinyu could speak, Nana who was following behind him immediately said: "Miss, you can't talk nonsense. Cuicui has a license issued by the government, and the stamp duty on the official seal of the police station is also valid... I'm right.
Right, Sergeant Wang?"
Sheriff Wang coughed dryly and said: "Send Cuicui's license to the bureau tomorrow for re-examination. I remember that this year's stamp duty has not been paid yet."
"Did you hear that? I'm not someone who talks nonsense." Nana glanced at Tong Tong proudly.
When we arrived at the Dongkua Courtyard, a handyman was carrying a bucket with two pairs of unwashed dishes and chopsticks in it. He was about to go to the kitchen.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the bucket and said, "Where do these bowls come from?"
The handyman said nothing and looked at Jiang Xinyu blankly.
Sheriff Wang shouted: "I want to ask you something, are you mute?"
Nana smiled and said: "You are really right, he is originally mute and can't hear what you say."
As she spoke, she waved to the handyman: "Go to work."
The handyman bowed humbly and walked quickly into the kitchen carrying a bucket. The bucket left a trail of water drops on the ground that extended into the kitchen.
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while, followed the water drops to a house, and said to Sergeant Wang, "Has this room been searched?"
"After searching, there are some junk inside." Sheriff Wang said.
"Open the door." Feng Qingshan said from the side.
He understood what Jiang Xinyu meant. Since the house was full of rags, why did the handyman go in there? Where did those empty dishes and chopsticks come from?
The door was opened, and indeed there were old clutter piled everywhere in the house, and there was a musty smell in the air.
Jiang Xinyu ordered: "Call the mute."
After a while, the handyman was brought in.
"Just say whatever the officer asks you, but don't lie." Nana said and gestured to the handyman.
Jiang Xinyu waved his hand and said: "Move all these rags out."
Nana hurriedly said: "Sir, there are so many things..."
Jiang Xinyu interrupted her: "Don't worry, I will be responsible and move back again."
Under the command of Sergeant Wang, more than a dozen policemen started moving the rags out of the house. Suddenly, the room was filled with dust.
When the two policemen went to move a vat, the handyman became obviously nervous and looked back at Nana, who was pretending to be calm.
Jiang Xinyu had been observing him secretly, and when he saw this scene, he immediately said: "Stop for a moment!"
After removing the vat, there was nothing special underneath. They were all paved with the same blue bricks, but the look on the servant's face became more and more panicked.
Jiang Xinyu squatted on the ground and watched for a while. Suddenly, he grabbed the edge of the blue brick with his hand and pushed hard. The green brick slid open like a sliding door, and then a secret passage one foot square appeared.
Seeing this scene, the handyman's legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground, banging his head.
Nana's expression also changed, she involuntarily stepped back, and was immediately blocked by two policemen.
Below is a basement, with an area of about ten square meters, with ventilation holes and electric lights. In addition, there are four wooden beds.
In addition to Rong Rong, who was still sleeping soundly, there were two little girls of seven or eight years old. They crowded on the same bed and looked at Jiang Xinyu who jumped down with trepidation.
Jiang Xinyu understood that these were all abducted children. Xunfang Xiaozhu was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he temporarily locked them in the basement.
The handyman is responsible for delivering meals. He is a mute who has a hard speech. There is no need to worry about him going out and talking nonsense. Besides, he must have been given extra benefits.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu carrying Rongrong out, Tongtong rushed over with surprise, took Rongrong and cried bitterly.
