Chapter 143 Leave no trace behind
Although this matter may only be related to human trafficking, Zhao Chuanxin still went to some brothels to conduct a rough investigation.
He discovered that thousands of women were either forced or voluntarily trafficked here in Shanghai alone.
Many people only know that they were sold and thought they would work as maids and servants in rich people's homes, but they didn't know that many would be shipped to Chinatowns around the world to work as prostitutes.
Zhao Chuanxin has been following a group of people for several days.
This group of people specializes in buying and selling women through the Yangtze River waterway. Not only will they be transported to Shanghai to be sold, some of them have even been "loaded" on ships.
Zhao Chuanxin got on a ship, ready to see where they were going.
After walking for two days, I felt something was wrong only when I was far away from the coastline.
This is not a domestic route, this is going overseas...
On the ship, in a narrow cabin, more than twenty women as young as eight years old were crowded here.
It's humid, dark and cold here. Their faces turned blue from the cold and they couldn't stretch out their arms and legs.
Zhao Chuanxin found this place on the third day, killed the guard guarding the cabin door, and threw him into the sea.
After opening the door, he smelled an unpleasant smell.
When he entered with a wind lantern, a group of women, big and small, looked at him in horror with their big foreheads exposed.
"Don't be afraid, I am Chinese."
As a result, they became even more afraid.
After all, the people who brought them to this situation are also Chinese.
Zhao Chuanxin had no choice but to continue: "I am not the same as them. I have brought you some cans and daily necessities. There is some water here for you to drink and the rest for washing. There are also beddings here for you to give
Cover it yourself. Hold on, and when you get there, I will help you get out of the sea of misery. I can only say this much, and you can’t be discovered by them. I will leave first and come to see you later."
In fact, Zhao Chuanxin was also hiding in hiding.
The eight-year-old girl timidly said: "Brother, where will we be sent?"
Looking at the little girl, Zhao Chuanxin felt a little worried.
There was a surge in his throat: "I should go to the United States. Don't be afraid, I will take you home."
The little girl continued: "Brother, they will beat people. I'm afraid they will beat me to death."
Zhao Chuanxin tried his best to smile: "Don't be afraid. Whoever hits you, I will throw him into the sea and replace him with someone else. Until no one dares to hit you, they will not die. I will stay nearby.
.If you are beaten, just scream and I will come over when I hear you."
There were too many people on the boat, and he couldn't control it, otherwise he would directly attack them and force them to change course.
Unless he kills everyone, he won't sail the ship.
Sure enough, after Zhao Chuanxin left, an American with a big belly and an unshaven beard came over carrying a bottle of wine and cursed: "Where did Jack die? God curse you, damn, these pigs are not the same."
Do you know if you are dead..."
With that said, he opened the cabin.
"Come here, where are the guards outside?"
A woman was trembling and couldn't understand what he said.
The man was impatient and slapped him: "Damn Chinese, you pigs..."
Halfway through his words, his neck was suddenly strangled.
Through the light outside, these women saw Zhao Chuanxin's smiling face.
Zhao Chuanxin smiled at them, then took out the elf carving knife and stabbed it into the Yankee's temple.
Then, he raised his index finger: "Shh..."
Afterwards, the man was dragged away slowly, and the cabin door was closed.
"He really helps us!"
"Ugh... I thought there was no way to survive anymore, but I didn't expect that God has eyes!"
"Sister, please stop crying. Big brother promised to take us home."
Not long after, Zhao Chuanxin came back.
He bought some supplies for the girls and carried away the smelly bucket of dirty water.
The ship lost two crew members in a row, so naturally someone noticed something was wrong.
Someone came to the cabin again and opened the door. This time the person who came could speak some Chinese: "Jack, that short and fat man who was guarding you, where did he go?"
The women looked at each other and did not dare to answer.
The eight-year-old girl said with bright eyes: "He and another man with a big belly got into a fight, and then disappeared."
The visitor frowned, seeing that the girl was still very young and should not be able to lie, so he closed the cabin door and left.
After a while, he came back and asked: "No, where did your cans and quilts come from?"
At this time, all the women began to tremble.
The little girl then said: "It was sent by a man."
"Who is it?"
Shaking her head, the girl said: "I don't recognize it!"
The man looked at the women and glared at them: "You better be honest, I will keep an eye on you."
After searching all over the ship, the two people just disappeared out of thin air.
Someone came and stared at the cabin door again, but no one beat or scolded the girls.
This man is very young, has no beard yet, wears a sailor hat, and even has some sympathy for the girls.
So, there was no problem with him.
During this trip, Zhao Chuanxin was a little angry.
He was hiding around like a mouse, watching a group of American men and women having various entertainments on the deck, running, boxing, dancing...
If he wants to eat hot pot or barbecue, he can't eat it. If he wants to eat steak, he has to steal it from the back kitchen, which is already cold.
There was space in the first class cabin, so he chose one and went to sleep at night.
After nearly a month, the ship finally docked on the west coast.
Zhao Chuanxin was the first to arrive outside the cabin and put a gun to the head of the American boy who was guarding him: "Seeing that you are not an animal and can still be called a human being, I will spare your life. I will tie you up and don't scream. If you do, you will die."
”
Then, the women on the opposite side waved: "Come out, I will take you away."
A group of women filed out and had "dwelled" here for a long time, and their legs and feet were weak.
Zhao Chuanxin frowned and said: "Quick, move your hands and feet, and hurry to the stern, we are going to jump into the sea."
There was a small lifesaving sampan on the boat, and Zhao Chuanxin put it into the water.
On the other side of the ship, passengers are queuing to disembark in an orderly manner.
There is not much time left for him.
All the girls were a little scared and didn't dare to jump down.
"Hurry up, don't wait, we'll be discovered soon."
The little girl was the bravest and jumped directly.
Simply, Zhao Chuanxin started pushing one by one from behind, and they all fell into the sea.
He also jumped in. These women are basically landlubbers and can't swim.
But with Zhao Chuanxin, a prodigal idler, it would be difficult for them to die.
He helped them onto the sampan one by one and pushed them underwater to swim farther away.
When we were out of the harbor, we slowly rowed towards the shore.
After landing on the shore, a group of women looked completely helpless and frightened, and their eyes turned towards Zhao Chuanxin - this was their only support.
Zhao Chuanxin took out his telescope and looked towards the port from a distance.
"Hey, come to San Francisco!"
This really echoes the poem: Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles.
