Yao Yuan has long heard of the tough folk customs of Hu Province, especially in mountainous rural areas. This is the 1990s again, and the popularity of legal knowledge is far less than it was twenty years later.
Even twenty years later, Hu Province is still the main place of trafficking in women and children, while regions such as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are the main places of trafficking.
It is undoubtedly very appropriate for Hu Hai to adopt the plan of "entering the village quietly". After all, this is an era when "robbery of police cars is illegal".
He neither dared to notify the village cadres in advance to ask for their assistance, nor dared to enter the village in broad daylight, because if he did, the policemen who went in to handle the case might not be able to leave the village.
Furthermore, in an era when public security agencies across the country are generally short of funds, cases involving pure expenditures such as anti-trafficking are not welcomed. They often span several provinces, and the travel expenses alone can bring down a public security agency, let alone the follow-up cases.
The end of my hand.
There is no national DNA database in these days, so finding a kidnapped person is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack, which means long-term financial investment is required.
Therefore, grassroots police stations would rather generate income in accordance with the law than deal with trafficking cases.
The local county bureau is so helpful, firstly because this is not its own case, and secondly because there are instructions from the municipal bureau. Even though Chen Dong’s classmate is only a regular-level cadre of the municipal bureau, what he said may be representing the municipal bureau.
Yes, because this is official business, and thirdly, because the local county bureau has sufficient funds, and it dares to take action even if it involves other local trafficking cases.
Nearly half an hour passed and Chen Dong and others were still not seen back. Yao Yuan felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"I'm afraid something went wrong." Yao Yuan whispered.
Lin Xiaohu looked at the time and said, "It gets early here, and the sun will come out in more than half an hour. If we continue like this, we might be surrounded in the village. Ayuan, what should I do?"
It was late spring and early summer, and it was about five o'clock before dawn in the eastern coastal areas. People in rural areas got up early again, so Chen Dong and the others were in an unsafe situation.
Yao Yuan said, "Call Chen Dong's classmate to inform him of the situation and ask him to contact the local county bureau to come over for reinforcements."
Lin Xiaohu called immediately.
There was a call record on his cell phone, so he pulled it up and called directly, quickly explaining the situation. Chen Dong's classmates agreed immediately and immediately contacted the local county bureau.
"Go in and have a look."
Yao Yuan took the lead and walked in front, followed closely by Lin Xiaohu.
This village is not small. According to Hu Hai's survey, there are more than 300 households. People in the village make a living by growing tea. Now many young and middle-aged people are working for tea companies and living in the village.
When passing by the threshing floor, Yao Yuan stopped for a moment and found that the threshing floor was covered with tea leaves and covered with raincloth.
At this time, there was a faint noise coming from the west of the threshing floor.
Yao Yuan's judgment was correct, Chen Dong and others were surrounded by villagers.
Following the sound, I found a house in the innermost part of the village. Dozens of villagers were crowded in front of the door. They were all holding shovels and hoes in their hands and carrying poles. They shouted and asked questions inside. Villagers kept coming from
Coming from all directions.
Yao Yuan quietly squeezed in and took a look. Chen Dong and others looked like they were deep in the vast ocean of the People's War. Everyone had a gun in their hands, but for these ignorant villagers with weak legal concepts, guns were a real deterrent.
is limited.
You can't shoot someone.
Yao Yuan recognized Liu Jinju next to Chen Dong at a glance. At this time, half of her body was huddled behind Chen Dong and shivering. The clothes on her body were still intact, but under the light, her mental state was not quite right.
Hu Hai is negotiating with the village security director.
"This girl was trafficked. Fan Biao has been suspected of bribing women and children. Director Fan, we are handling the case in accordance with the law." Hu Hai said sternly.
Before Director Fan could speak, Fan Biao, who had his arms strangled by two criminal policemen, started to scream loudly, "What kind of law did I break in finding my wife? I spent three thousand yuan, why are you arresting me if I don't steal or rob?"
!Why are you arresting my wife! Let me go! The police are amazing!"
But I saw that this man had a big head and neck, thick arms and a round waist. He looked like he was in his forties. He was either a chef or a butcher. His speech seemed to be unorganized and monotonous.
He was very strong, and it was obvious that the two detectives were having a hard time controlling him.
Hu Hai said loudly, "Fan Biao! Human trafficking is illegal. You said she is your wife. What proof do you have? But I can prove that she was trafficked here!"
Director Fan said, "Comrade Hu, Fan Biao is a good old man. This girl's aunt is sick and has no money for treatment. Fan Biao gave her three thousand yuan for treatment out of kindness. This girl said she is willing to be Fan Biao's wife. This matter
It’s not illegal to go anywhere!”
The onlookers started making noises and their attitude was very arrogant. Not only could they not take away Fan Biao, they could not take away Liu Jinju either.
This group of people's legal awareness was so weak that it opened Yao Yuan's eyes.
Chen Dong kept whispering to Liu Jinju, "Liu Jinju, I am the director of the Huilong Town Police Station. We are here to rescue you. Can you prove that Fan Biao bribed you from a human trafficker? Let's talk."
Liu Jinju's eyes were filled with fear, and she shook her head wildly, "I won't run anymore, I won't run anymore, I won't run anymore, I won't run anymore."
She has a mental problem.
Chen Dong was anxious. He signaled Ren Xiaohua to be optimistic about Liu Jinju, walked to Hu Hai, and whispered, "Captain Hu, if we delay, there will be more and more people, which will be very detrimental to us. I suggest taking decisive measures."
"This is not easy to handle." Hu Hai was embarrassed.
The villagers are very united and have a strong "territorial concept" from generation to generation. When strangers enter the village, they will be very vigilant, let alone if you enter the village to arrest people, they will be even tougher if you are tough.
Yao Yuan, who was mixed in the crowd, listened carefully to the low-pitched discussions of the people around him and quietly changed his position. During the confrontation, he probably got a clear idea of the situation in the village.
Yao Yuan whispered to Lin Xiaohu, "Are our people following?"
It was impossible for Lin Xiaohu to be the only one following him when he went out. Chen Chao led a security team to follow Yao Yuan from a distance. He had quietly followed Yao Yuan into the village before.
Lin Xiaohu whispered, "Chen Chao brought seven people."
"I can't wait for the support from the county bureau." Yao Yuan whispered, "You are like this..."
He said a few words like this.
Before Lin Xiaohu could say anything, Yao Yuan squeezed out of the crowd and strode towards Hu Hai and Chen Dong. Lin Xiaohu had no choice but to make arrangements quickly.
Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Captain Hu, Director Chen, let's take them away by force. The situation in this village is more complicated than we thought. We need to rescue the people first, and then take away the suspects."
Hu Hai frowned and asked, "What did you discover?"
Yao Yuan said briefly, "This village has a tradition of buying wives. I just mingled among them and overheard some discussions. I'm afraid there are many abducted women in this village. If this continues, even if reinforcements from the county bureau arrive, there will be no guarantee.
Take people away without conflict."
When Hu Hai heard this, he immediately felt regretful. He thought it was just a simple case of abducted women. Unexpectedly, he ran into a nest. This was something Yao Yuan had heard. If he continued to investigate, with his professional sensitivity
, 80% of the time it will be involved in a bunch of cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children.
At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted, "The threshing floor is on fire! The threshing floor is on fire!"
The villagers subconsciously looked in the direction of the threshing floor and saw flames shooting into the sky.
"Go put out the fire! Why are you dazed!" someone shouted loudly.
The threshing floor is full of tea leaves covered with raincloths. Usually, when the sun comes out, the raincloths are lifted and continued to be exposed to the sun. Every household does this. It is the time when spring tea is produced, and the threshing floor is full of tea leaves.
tea.
The onlookers suddenly became anxious and ran towards the threshing floor, shouting loudly as they ran. The whole village soon became chaotic.
Director Fan, the security director, suddenly realized that Hu Hai and others disappeared. He stamped his feet and called for people to chase after him at the entrance of the village, but found that there were not many people around him. He shouted to summon people, but everyone went to the threshing floor to put out the fire.
Already.
The villagers who were the first to arrive at the threshing floor were dumbfounded. The haystacks next to the threshing floor were on fire. By the time they arrived, the haystacks were almost burned. When the haystacks burned, the fire was frightening. After the combustibles were burned out, the fire started again.
It will go out quickly and go away as quickly as it comes.
It was a false alarm, and the villagers quickly cleared away the ashes.
When they came back to their senses and thought about Fan Biao, the place was already empty.
On the way back to the county bureau, Hu Hai was still frightened. He looked back and finally calmed down. He said doubtfully, "If it hadn't been for the fire in the threshing floor, we probably wouldn't have been able to get out."
The subordinate who was driving said, "Yes, I'm lucky today."
Fan Biao, who was sitting in the second row between two criminal policemen, struggled and said, "Can the police arrest people at will? Let me go!"
"Stop his mouth." Hu Hai said in annoyance.
The two criminal police officers had long been impatient. They took off Fan Biao's vest and blocked his mouth. The car suddenly became quiet.
Chen Dong and Ren Xiaohua in the car behind were also in shock. Although the people in the Yinguan area also had very weak legal awareness, they rarely resisted the law blatantly. They had learned a lesson from the tough folk customs here.
Ren Xiaohua said, "Thankfully we were lucky, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get out. I looked at the villagers and they wanted to eat us all. It was so scary."
"Yes, I have learned a lot." Chen Dong sighed.
Yao Yuan didn't want them to know about the security team, so he followed the topic and said, "Director Chen, how were you discovered?"
"That Fan Biao resisted and yelled unexpectedly. The neighbors seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and they blocked us in all of a sudden." Chen Dong said helplessly.
Yao Yuan analyzed, "They probably have an offensive and defensive alliance. I think it was the villagers who helped capture Liu Jinju after he escaped."
As he said that, he turned back and glanced at Liu Qiuju, whose eyes were dull.
This seventeen-year-old girl had been severely mentally stimulated, and she was afraid she might have sequelae. She couldn't see clearly before, but now under the car roof lights, everyone discovered that Liu Qiuju's exposed skin was bruised and swollen. It was obvious that she had been injured.
personal injury.
Yao Yuan said, "Go directly to the hospital."
Chen Dong called Hu Hai and told him the situation. After entering the city, Hu Hai escorted the suspect back to the county bureau, while Yao Yuan and others took Liu Jinju to the county hospital for examination.
