Chapter 11: Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes
In the next two days of vacation, after Qin Hao finished working on all the furniture that the neighbors wanted to break, he refused other people's requests on the grounds that he wanted to give Ma Yan tutoring.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day to go to work again. After the train passed a few stations that day, Qin Hao and Wang Xin were patrolling as usual. They saw a commotion in the car in front. They hurried over to check the situation and saw a middle-aged woman looking flustered.
Ask the passengers around you if they have seen your child.
"Sister, your child is missing, right?"
When the middle-aged woman saw Qin Hao and Wang Xin wearing police uniforms, she felt as if she had seen a savior. She quickly grabbed their sleeves and said, "Comrade police, you must help me find my child. My son is missing."
"Gone? When did he disappear?" Wang Xin asked hurriedly when he heard that the child was missing.
"Just half an hour ago."
"It took half an hour to find the child after he was missing? Why didn't you call our police earlier?"
The middle-aged woman sobbed and told what happened.
Originally, she was preparing to go to Harbin with her child. On the way, the child was clamoring to go to the toilet. At that time, she thought that the toilet was so close and she could stand there and watch, so there would be no problem, so she let her son Xiaotao go to the toilet by himself.
She went there, but her son had not come out for a while, so she knocked on the door, but the person who opened the door was an adult man, and her son Xiaotao was not in the toilet at all.
Qin Hao frowned and asked, "Are you sure you saw your son enter the toilet with your own eyes?"
The middle-aged woman wiped away her tears and said, "There was a big brother standing in the aisle at that time, and he blocked it so I couldn't see clearly."
Wang Xinyi patted his thigh: "That's it. Maybe someone will drag her away right then."
"Comrade police, I beg you, please help me find my child. Xiaotao is my life. How can I live without him?" the middle-aged woman burst into tears.
Qin Hao helped her up, and then said to Wang Xin seriously: "Wang Xin, please take her to make a record first. Time is tight. Uncle Ma and I will go find someone. Also, tell Yao Yuling and ask her to help."
The radio asked everyone to help look for it."
"Okay." Although Wang Xin also wanted to catch the trafficker, he resisted the urge and took the middle-aged woman to find Yao Yuling to make a broadcast.
Soon, Qin Hao found Ma Kui, and the latter's face became extremely solemn upon hearing this.
"Are you sure the child was abducted?"
Qin Hao nodded: "At present, it seems to be premeditated. I suspect that this is a gang crime. The mother and son should have been targeted for a long time. The person who blocked the mother's sight in the middle is probably a member of the gang.
, but it’s a pity that the mother didn’t pay attention to the suspect’s physical characteristics at the time, and he disappeared long ago.”
"So, the only thing we can confirm now is a five or six-year-old child, and there are no other clues at all." Ma Kui said with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Yao Yuling's voice came from the radio. Before she could finish her words, the middle-aged woman's anxious cries also spread in the carriage.
After the broadcast ended, Qin Hao and Ma Kui looked at each other and said, "We will split up and search one carriage at a time. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we still have to find the child."
According to the time broadcast by Yao Yuling on the radio, there are only more than 20 minutes until the next stop. Qin Hao and Ma Kui both know that once they arrive at the station and a large number of passengers get off, the hope of finding the child will be even slimmer.
.
Qin Hao's eyes kept scanning the car, and he carefully asked every child who matched the characteristics of the missing child. Unfortunately, none of them were Xiaotao. Seeing the time passing by, Wang Xin also came over.
"Old Qin, the train will arrive at the station in ten minutes."
Qin Hao was at a loss at this moment. There were too many people on the train. Even if one car was searched for five minutes, it would take at least more than an hour to roughly scan a dozen cars.
At this moment, a fellow villager was preparing to get out of the car with heavy luggage, and Qin Hao suddenly woke up.
"Box, check the box."
Wang Xin didn't react for a while: "What box?"
"Xiao Tao is already five or six years old. It might be okay to let him leave his mother for a short time. After such a long time, he will definitely want to find her. What is the best way for human traffickers to avoid arousing suspicion from others?"
"Dizzied?"
"That's right, the human traffickers' gang must have heard Yao Yuling's radio broadcast just now. Knowing that we are looking for the child, the safest way is to stun the child, stuff it into a box or bag, and take it out of the station quietly."
"The analysis makes sense. It means that as long as we focus on checking the luggage where the child can be hidden, we may be able to find Xiaotao."
The two immediately split up and headed to the front and rear of the car. On the way, Qin Hao met Ma Kui again and told him his analysis. Ma Kui went to other police officers for help without saying a word.
Not long after, the train slowly pulled into the platform.
"Passengers, please don't leave the platform yet. A mother has lost her child on the train. Now, all passengers carrying large luggage are asked to wait aside and be checked by our police comrades before leaving. Thank you for your cooperation."
Normally, passengers would not be willing to have their luggage rummaged through, but when they heard that someone had lost a child, most passengers lined up at the platform very cooperatively, with only a few complaining.
Qin Hao walked up to several passengers who were complaining and unwilling to cooperate, and forcefully opened their luggage for inspection without saying a word.
"What's wrong with you, comrade? What right do you have to search through our luggage?"
"How would you feel if your child was lost?" Qin Hao glanced coldly at the uncooperative passengers.
At this moment, a passenger in the crowd suddenly dropped his luggage, jumped off the platform and ran away.
Wang Xin was the closest to him, so he jumped off the platform and ran after him. Ma Kui almost subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but before he could jump off the platform, Wang Xin and the man had already crossed the railway tracks and disappeared.
At this time, someone shouted: "This person must be a human trafficker, can we leave?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Immediately, some passengers echoed: "Yes, this person has been exposed, why are he still holding us captive?"
Qin Hao walked up to Ma Kui and whispered: "Uncle Ma, something is wrong."
Ma Kui nodded with a heavy face, and then the two of them came to the wooden box left by the man. When they opened it, they found a pile of debris, and there was no trace of Xiao Tao at all.
At this moment, Cai Xiaonian came over and reminded: "Old Qin, Uncle Ma will be driving in ten minutes."
Qin Hao walked up to the people who had just made noise and said, "Open it."
"Comrade policeman, why are you still tormenting us here after that person ran away?"
"That's right. If you have the ability to catch human traffickers, why would you want to compete with us?"
Qin Hao ignored the two's singing and opened their suitcases. The next moment, the passengers around him exclaimed.
I saw a five or six-year-old child curled up in a box made of vines.
"Run, you run for me again."
The two traffickers still wanted to escape, but Qin Hao and Ma Kui grabbed their wrists one by one, causing them to kneel and roll on the ground in pain. This time Qin Hao was really murderous. If not in front of so many people, he would have wanted to kill them.
The heads of these two traffickers were ripped off.
"The police comrades misunderstood, misunderstood. I don't know why there is a child in the box."
Qin Hao handcuffed him directly: "Continue to weave for me, can your box grow children?"
The trafficker caught by Ma Kui also kept complaining: "Comrade police, this is none of my business. The child is in his box, not mine. Why are you arresting me?"
Another trafficker became anxious when he heard this: "Bah, you were the one who stuffed Wang Laowen into the box after being knocked unconscious and asked me to take him out. Now you are putting all the blame on me. You are still a human being."
"Just be honest, I'll explain it to you later."
Qin Hao and Ma Kuiyi discussed and decided to interrogate separately. Just as they escorted the trafficker back to the carriage, a burst of fierce applause broke out in the carriage.
Soon Xiaotao's mother also came over, crying loudly while holding her child, and kept kowtowing to Qin Hao and Ma Kui.
"Sister-in-law, you've frightened the child like this. Get up and tell me if you have anything to do." Qin Hao helped the middle-aged woman up.
The middle-aged woman couldn't stop crying while holding her lost son. She couldn't imagine what her life would be like if the child was not found.
Xiao Tao seemed to be drugged at first and looked around blankly. After a while, he recovered and told the story of how he was abducted by human traffickers.
Combined with the trafficker's confession, basically the trafficker had been targeting the mother and son at the station, but the middle-aged woman was more vigilant at the time and never let the child out of her sight. They waited until they were on the train before they found the opportunity to attack.
.
The one who blocked the middle-aged woman's sight before was the trafficker who had just suddenly jumped off the platform. He was responsible for covering the team, and the other two men were responsible for doing it. According to the two traffickers, they also had an accomplice.
, a middle-aged woman, did not come this time because she had something to do at home.
When Qin Hao finished writing the transcript and signed it for the trafficker, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh no, Wang Xin hasn't gotten in the car yet."
At the same time, Wang Xin finally caught the trafficker. When he came back with the trafficker, he found that the train had already disappeared.
........
One day later, when the train returned, Qin Haocai saw Wang Xin at the Ningyang Station Railway Police Station.
"You are such a buddy. I worked so hard to catch thieves, but when I came back, you all ran away. You didn't even notice that I, a big living person, didn't get in the car."
Facing Wang Xin's long complaints, Qin Hao rubbed his nose in embarrassment and explained: "I can't control the departure time of the train. Besides, considering the situation at that time, weren't we also anxious to interrogate the two traffickers?
Let’s see if there are any children who need to be rescued.”
"Then you should at least have someone leave a message for me. My wallet was still in the police station at the time. If it hadn't been for the help from comrades from Haihe, I would have almost gone out to beg for food." Wang Xin became angrier as he thought about it.
Qin Hao could only keep smiling: "How about this? When I go home later, I'll treat you to a drink and cook you some hard dishes myself."
"How many?"
"Three ways."
"Less."
"Then if you add one more dish, four dishes are not enough for you? Don't push yourself too far."
"Everything has to be hard food."
"Okay, these are hard dishes."
"That's pretty much it."
The two entered the conference room laughing and joking. As soon as they entered, there was a burst of applause in the conference room. He had never enjoyed such treatment. Wang Xin straightened his chest unconsciously. If the earth was not still attractive, he would have drifted away.
Gone to heaven.
After the applause stopped, Captain Hu cleared his throat: "Ahem, comrades, our Ningyang Station showed up again this time. Three comrades, Ma Kui, Qin Hao, and Wang Xin, encountered a gang of human traffickers who abducted children on the train.
After being calm and collected, it took less than an hour to catch the three traffickers on the spot and successfully rescued the child. The child's mother wrote us a letter of thanks, and the child's family even sent us a banner."
"Lao Ma, you are their master, please say a few words."
Ma Kui waved his hands repeatedly: "What's there to say? It's not natural for the police to arrest thieves."
Captain Hu said seriously: "Tell us your ideas for solving the case, so that our other comrades can learn from it."
"I really don't have much to say about the idea of solving the case. The reason why this case was solved so quickly is entirely due to Xiao Qin. He thought that human traffickers might use large luggage to transport children."
Upon seeing this, Captain Hu had no choice but to let Qin Hao speak.
Qin Hao explained his ideas for solving the case.
"To sum it up, it's really just one sentence. Think about it from someone else's perspective. In that environment, if I were a human trafficker, what would I do to evade police search?"
Captain Hu took the lead in applauding: "Comrade Xiao Qin summarized it very well. Otherwise, Xiao Qin, please work hard and combine this case-solving idea with the two recently cracked gang cases and write a report to me. I will get it to my superior later."
Leader, let’s see if we can do a regional promotion.”
For a moment, everyone in the conference room except Lao Ma looked at Qin Hao with envy. Regional promotion is not only about honors, but may also attract the attention of superiors. If not, he will rise to fame directly.
But envy is envy, but no one is jealous. After all, the case was solved by Qin Haoshi. The atmosphere between the police and the army is somewhat similar. As long as you have real skills, everyone will still be convinced.
After coming out of the police station, Qin Hao and Wang Xing just returned to the railway compound, and Aunt Cai, Aunt Wu and the others started gossip mode.
"Xiao Qin heard that you are going to have sex, is it true?"
"I heard that you did a great job in taking down a gang of human traffickers. The sentence for this gang of human traffickers who killed thousands of people is still too light. If they are caught, they will be sentenced to death. I wonder who dares to make such dirty money."
Everyone was talking about it, and Qin Hao couldn't help but feel that there really wasn't any secrets in this society of acquaintances.
In the crowd, Yao Yuling's eyes have been firmly fixed on Qin Hao. She originally had a good impression of Qin Hao, and Qin Hao was about to propose to her.
But at this moment, a girl with a ponytail walked up to Qin Hao.
"Old Qin, my dad wants you to go home for dinner."
