In the waiting room of Tianjin Railway Station, Xu Siqi was sitting on a bench, holding a copy of "Ta Kung Pao" in his hand, waiting for the time to check in and board the train.
Wang Shen, dressed in a police uniform, walked in hurriedly. He looked around, quickly came to Xu Siqi and said, "Siqi, come back with me quickly!"
Xu Siqi was stunned: "Where to go?"
"Police station."
"Why go to the police station?"
"There are clues about your brother!"
There had been no news for more than ten years, but suddenly there was a clue. Xu Siqi couldn't believe the sudden good news.
"What are you still doing? Let's go!" Wang Shen smiled and patted Xu Siqi on the shoulder.
Xu Siqi picked up his suitcase and followed Wang Shen out of the train station.
There was a police car parked at the entrance of the train station. Seeing Wang Shen and Xu Siqi get on the car, the driver said with a sad face: "Chief Wang, are you on official business or private? The driver's class had a meeting yesterday, and private use of the bus is strictly prohibited.
If the higher ups find out..."
"Of course it's official business. This Mr. Xu is the person involved in the child abduction and trafficking case! There's so much nonsense, just drive!" Wang Shen said impatiently.
On the way, Xu Siqi asked: "Wang Shen, the clue you mentioned..."
Wang Shen said: "Last night, near Xiaohonglou in Nanshi, the patrol police arrested a human trafficker."
"How do you know he is a human trafficker?"
"He was holding a little boy in his arms. The child kept crying. When he saw a patrolman, he immediately went into the alley. The patrolman saw something was wrong and went over to question him. The guy was inconsistent with his words and was exposed on the spot..."
"What is his relationship with Siyuan?"
"I heard that a human trafficker was arrested. It's none of your business. I went to the prison early in the morning. I asked him if he had been to Hefei. He said he had. As soon as I heard this, I immediately became energetic.
, and asked him if he had ever abducted a three- or four-year-old boy..."
"What did he say?" Xu Siqi asked eagerly.
Wang Shen said: "He said yes. So, I didn't bother asking and went directly to the hotel to find you. The hotel said you had checked out, so I chased you to the train station."
"Where is that boy now?"
"I was in such a hurry to find you that I didn't even have time to ask."
"Wang Shen, thank you!"
"Thank you for what? Who among us is following whom? If you hadn't stopped me back then? How about that bastard? You had to beat me to death..."
While talking, the police car stopped in front of the Hongqiao Police Station.
Before getting off the bus, Xu Siqi took out two silver dollars from his pocket and gave them to the gloomy-looking driver. He said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work."
"What are you talking about? It's just for no reason, how can I ask for your money..."
Seeing the shining silver ocean, the driver's mood suddenly improved. He said no, but he had no intention of returning it.
Xu Siqi did this because he did not want Wang Shen to offend others. After all, they were doing things for themselves.
Wang Shen also knew it well and said to the driver: "From now on? Don't talk about official or private matters anymore. Hurry up and put it away so that no one can see it."
"Isn't it? It's just official business..." The driver smiled happily and hurriedly put the money into his pocket.
The Hongqiao Police Station is a three-story independent building. The heads of various departments and important departments are concentrated on the second and third floors. Two interrogation rooms are located on the west side of the first floor.
Xu Siqi was in a hurry and urged Wang Shen to interrogate the trafficker immediately.
In the interrogation room? A middle-aged man wearing handcuffs? Sitting on a chair with his head drooped.
Just as Wang Shen said, the superiors don't even bother to deal with such trivial cases and directly hand them over to the police chief below.
On the table were a bunch of odds and ends, ID documents, keys, half a pack of cigarettes, matches, and a few colorful candies.
These were all found on human traffickers.
Wang Shen picked up the ID, took a look at it, and asked, "Is your name Zhang Youde?"
"Yes." Zhang Youde replied with a low eyebrow.
"If you ask me, you should change your name to Zhang Quede."
"..."
"What are these candies for?"
"For coaxing children."
"That's my guess! If you people die, you will go to hell and be fried in oil for a hundred and eight thousand times! Tell me, where did that little boy just come from?"
"Tanggu, Tanggu Majiatun..."
"how old are you?"
"Fifty."
"Who else is at home?"
"It's just me..."
The questions Wang Shen asked were actually routine matters, and the necessary notes had to be taken, otherwise they would not be able to explain to the superiors.
Xu Siqi had no choice but to wait patiently.
"In the morning, you said that you kidnapped a little boy in Hefei. Tell me what happened." Wang Shen finally got to the point.
Zhang Youde was silent for a while, then muttered: "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly..."
"How dare you play tricks on me!" Wang Shen said angrily.
"Officer, I really can't remember clearly." Zhang Youde looked pitiful.
Xu Siqi walked over, looked at Zhang Youde for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to clamp his neck.
Zhang Youde immediately kicked his hands and feet, making a hoarse sound in his throat. His sallow face soon turned the color of pig liver, and the veins on his head stretched.
Before he died, Xu Siqi let go of his hand and pulled Wang Shen aside.
Zhang Youde coughed violently and was out of breath. He coughed for five minutes. Only then did he finally regain his breath and felt a burning pain in his chest.
Xu Siqi came over, stared at Zhang Youde's evasive eyes, and said solemnly: "When will you remember, when will this game end?"
Zhang Youde could see that if he didn't tell the truth today, he might not be able to pass this test. The eyes of the man in front of him looked like he wanted to kill someone.
"Officer, that child... cough, cough, cough... was kidnapped from Hefei by Yingzi and I three years ago..."
Xu Siqi was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly: "You mean, this happened three years ago?"
"It seems like three years ago...or maybe four years ago. It was too long and I really can't remember." Zhang Youde said with a grimace.
Xu Siqi was greatly disappointed. His younger brother was abducted ten years ago, and the time did not match up at all. The abducted child was definitely not Siyuan.
"Who is Yingzi?" Wang Shen asked.
Zhang Youde shook his head: "I knew her name was Yingzi, but when I asked her what her name was, she didn't say..."
"What's the relationship between you two?"
"Temporary partner..."
"Working together to commit crimes?"
"……yes."
"Where's the child?"
"sold."
"Where did it go?"
"Police officer, it's hard for us to ask about this kind of thing, and it's impossible for the buyer to tell us."
"I'm not asking who you sold it to, but there's a general direction, right?"
"South..."
"Where to the south?"
"It seems to be Shanghai. Oh, at that time, I heard the woman mention Shanghai or something..."
Xu Siqi thought about it, Yingzi, Shanghai, three years ago...
These fragmentary information are quite consistent with Chongchong's situation.
