Chapter 240: A Thousand Cuts
Song Yu's hands trembled terribly, she knew that this place couldn't stay for a long time, and she didn't dare to delay the time, so she immediately touched her mobile phone and came out to make a call.
But the signal down there was blocked, and the call couldn't go out at all. She walked up the ladder quickly to the door and made a call, without any extra explanation, and asked Peng Xi to bring someone over immediately. Then he quickly sent a text message to Lao Liu, and then called the police.
The police were perfunctory, otherwise it would not have been possible for so long without any progress. But it is not okay not to report this matter, what she can do is to expand this matter as big as possible, only with the supervision of the media and the power of public opinion, the people inside will have scruples and will not suppress this matter.
Although her hands were still shaking after the call, she was not as flustered as before, and she didn't stay outside for long, and immediately went down the ladder.
She hadn't been able to look closely at it just now, but when she came down again, she realized that these children were all sluggish and numb. Some of them were probably beaten and injured, and they shrank into a ball timidly. Song Yu walked to the edge of the cage and didn't react.
Most of these children were scared of being beaten, and the cage was just closed, and there was no lock and no one dared to come out. Song Yu's heart was unbearable, so he opened the door and softly asked the children inside to come out. But the children inside were numb and sluggish, and she didn't respond to her call.
There are a dozen children here, and she can't get them out on her own. And you can't stay here for long, there will be changes at any time. She restrained herself from composure, took out the camera she had prepared earlier, and took a few quick pictures. Then I began to look for Xiao Nan one by one.
The children are curled up with their heads down, and they can't see their faces. She didn't have any response from the child's call, so she had to check them one by one.
After checking the last cage, I finally found Xiao Nan. She's going to get her out. But she must have been scared, and as soon as her hand touched the child, the child trembled.
Song Yu could only reassure at this time, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Nan, do you still know me? ”
Xiao Nan didn't react, just shrunk her body tightly.
These children were completely raised as animals by these murderous traffickers, with a large basin in a cage. The basin is so dirty that it has long been impossible to see the color. But there was no food at all. It is also not known how much food there is per day.
Song was so uncomfortable that he held back his tears so that he didn't fall.
She discussed with Lao Liu that there was danger here, and as long as she got the evidence, she would leave first. But in this way, she could not leave alone.
She quickly wiped away her tears, knowing that it would take half an hour for Peng Xi and them to come over. And in this half hour, anything can happen.
She quickly calmed down and walked briskly upstairs. I plan to lock the door at the door, even if someone comes at this time, I can resist for a while, as long as Peng Xi and the police arrive.
Her hunch was correct, and as soon as she reached the staircase, she heard the sound of a suspicious car outside. Song Yu didn't hesitate at all, immediately locked the door, and pressed against the door tightly.
The person she was thinking about didn't come in, and there was no movement outside through the door. Although there was no movement, her nerves were tense all the time.
Time flies for a long time, and every minute and second is torment. After more than twenty minutes, footsteps sounded outside. This time, it was Peng Xi and his colleagues who came.
Her nerves had been tense for too long, and the moment she opened the door to see them, her feet were limp. She didn't waste time and immediately said, "People are down there." ”
Colleagues all came in with equipment, and when they saw the children in the cage, the big man couldn't help but redden. However, no one spoke, and some people immediately started working and taking pictures. Someone softly coaxed the child and took the child out of the cage first.
The patrol came quickly, and before the children were all taken out of the cage, the patrol came in. Probably knowing that this matter would have a big impact, the first thing they did when they came in was to expel them, and said that they could not take pictures and report without permission, and asked them to hand over their cameras.
The children have not come out yet, and their attitude is arrogant. This was something they had expected for a long time, but fortunately some colleagues had already left with the cameras that took the pictures. Now it's just for show.
Song Yu's heart swelled with sorrow, and he looked at the patrol in his forties who took the lead. After looking around again, he asked softly, "Officer, do you have any children?"
The patrol didn't react at first, but when he reacted, his face turned red. "It's the procedure," he argued. ”
That being said, the attitude is no longer as arrogant as it was just now.
Not only patrols came, but also ambulances. The children were quickly picked up and then put in an ambulance and taken to the hospital for examination.
There was such a big movement in the night, and the surrounding neighbors gathered around. Looking at the ragged children who were carried into the car, pointing and scolding. More fear, there is a child trafficking gang in their vicinity, but no one is aware of it.
Although it was not allowed to take pictures, Peng Xi still took several photos.
It's going so smoothly here, it's unbelievable. When the child was sent to the hospital and the house was sealed, Song Yu remembered Lao Liulai. immediately took out his mobile phone to call Lao Liu.
It took a while for the phone to connect, and Lao Liu told Song Yu that she was now making a record at the police station and would go back to the club in a while. I'll talk about the details when I get back to the club.
It's past one o'clock in the morning, and I obviously can't sleep tonight. Song Yu agreed, and then returned to the club with his colleagues.
The child trafficking case was finally solved, and when they returned, even the editor-in-chief came over and was in command.
Probably because the scene was too shocking, no one shouted sleepy and tired, and sat down. The office was so quiet for a moment that there was no sound.
Lao Liu came back at four o'clock in the morning, knowing that everyone had to work overtime, he actually ordered takeout to bring it back. Carrying two large bags in both hands, as soon as he put the things down, he clapped his hands and shouted, "After a busy night, I came to replenish my energy." ”
No one had spoken earlier, but now they began to eat, and a few colleagues who worked overtime began to talk about it. All of them are indignantly scolded the human traffickers with thousands of knives.
Song Yu and Lao Liu only met at this time, and after asking Song Yu if it was going well, Lao Liu talked eloquently. Song Yu went smoothly here. His side was full of thrills.
He got out of the car as soon as he hung up the trafficker and apologized like a grandson. Then I wanted to take him to the hospital for a good examination.
The trafficker was not seriously injured, and he was used to being arrogant for a long time, and he was scolded all the time. But he refused to go to the hospital. said that he still had something to do, and let him give the money privately.
His purpose was to drag people down, so he said with a bitter face that he didn't bring much money out. Ask the trafficker how much money he wanted.
probably saw that he was a good bully, and the trafficker asked for 5,000 yuan. He said he didn't have that much money and asked if he could give less.
The traffickers don't do it, so let him leave his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and borrow it if he has no money.
He couldn't ask for it, so he immediately started calling. Naturally, he couldn't borrow money, and after a few phone calls, the trafficker probably realized something and refused to stay any longer, asking him how much money he had.
He had been prepared for a long time, and after feeling in his pocket for a while, he found dozens of dollars.
The trafficker then scolded him and shouted that he would call his brothers and ask them to come and teach him a lesson. Before the call could be made, his cell phone rang.
When the trafficker saw the number on his mobile phone, he immediately became respectful, and the other party probably asked him where he was, and he immediately replied that he had not gone anywhere at home.
The other party didn't know what to say, and the traffickers responded again and again. When he hung up the phone, he didn't let him lose money, so he immediately pushed the motorcycle up and wanted to go back to the house.
Song Yu hasn't heard any news from there, and she must still be in the house at this moment. Where would Lao Liu let this trafficker go back, when he saw that he was leaving, he said that he would take him to the hospital for examination, otherwise he would have a bad conscience.
The trafficker was very impatient, so he just threw him away, saying that he asked him to leave a phone number, and he would call him, he was in trouble now, and he couldn't go to the hospital for examination.
Lao Liu couldn't find an excuse to keep him, so he could only mess around. This trafficker's vigilance was strong, and when he saw that he refused to let him go, his face showed ruthlessness, and he pulled out a dagger from nowhere, and asked him directly who he was.
His face was full of vicious cruelty, and he raised his hand, not understanding what he meant.
The trafficker refused to believe it, and just as he was about to do something to him, he was slashed on the back of the head with a palm and fell softly.
He had been racking his mind about how to hold off the trafficker, and he hadn't even noticed that someone was coming this way. I couldn't help but be stunned.
The expression on the face of the person who came was faint, and he asked him to drag the person to the car, and then tied the person up in three strokes and two strokes.
When he was done with all this, he said, "I'm here to help you." He had to explain something, but before he could explain his cell phone, it rang.
He picked it up, and he didn't know what he said on the other side of the phone, but he immediately said: "Youche is coming this way, look at this person, don't let him escape." Half an hour later, he was sent to the Patrol Bureau. ”
As soon as he had said this, he went to the house. No one knew if he was telling the truth, he was scared, and before he could react, he saw the car that Song Yu had introduced to him drive over. His nerves tensed, and he sat in the car and watched the car drive towards the house.
He had been paying attention to that side, and he thought that there would be some movement after the car went in, but it didn't, and the car came out soon after entering. It's just that the driver is no longer the same person as before.
The man who helped them handed the two of them over to him and sent him to the Patrol Bureau. I went back to the house again.
After he finished speaking, he was still unsatisfied, and said: "I don't know who Lei Feng is who this sudden appearance is, and I can only blame me for not being able to ask for a phone call at that time." ”
Song Yu was stunned when she heard him finish speaking, no wonder she felt that it was a little abnormal. It turned out that someone was behind the help.
She heard the sound of a car at that time, but then it was silent, and she thought it was just a passing by, and it turned out that someone had been taken away.
Seeing that she was stunned, Lao Liu stretched out his hand and waved in front of her, and said, "Why are you in a daze? You won't think I'm lying to you, right?"
Song Yu turned around, shook his head, and said, "No." ”
Lao Liu's eyebrows danced again, and said: "But I also told the patrol about the situation, there must be surveillance nearby, and it shouldn't be difficult to find out the unsung hero." ”
As soon as he said that, all his colleagues also started talking. The work in hand was not finished, after eating, each went to make coffee to refresh himself, and then began to work again. It wasn't until it was dark outside that the work at hand was done.
The manuscript will be sent out this morning, and the police station and the hospital still need to run again, so I can't rest today. But the editor-in-chief gave two hours to take a break.
The more tired I am, the more I can't sleep, and although my body is tired, I don't feel sleepy at all. Song Yu went to the pantry again and made a cup of coffee.
Before the coffee was brewed, Peng Xi came in with a cup, and at this time the office was very quiet, she looked outside, looked at Song Yu, and said, "Who do you think will be the person who helps?"
There are very few people who know about this, and there are naturally only a handful of people who can come out to help.
Song Yu picked up the cup, avoided Peng Xi's gaze, and said, "I don't know." ”
Peng Xi sighed softly and said, "It should be Tang Xu." ”
Who else could it be besides Tang Xu. Only he knew that she had been investigating this during this time. Since his people helped in such a timely manner, he probably let people follow her during this time.
Song Yu didn't want to think about it, so he was silent and didn't speak.
Peng Xi paused slightly, and then said: "I really have to thank him this time, if it wasn't for his people intervening and letting the two traffickers notify the others, the child would not have been rescued so smoothly." If not, we'll fold it in. ”
Yes, once other people are notified, these little reporters will pinch to death in the eyes of people, isn't it like pinching ants to death.
Song Yu still didn't speak, just looked out the window in a daze. Since Tang Xu intervened in this matter, did he find the basement when he entered the main house that day?
He had been in the main house for a long time that day, and although he couldn't see anything on his face when he came out, he wouldn't ignore the places she could find.
Now that he knew about the existence of the basement, did he go in? She and Lao Liu have been guarding there these days, neither Tang Xu nor his people have appeared over there. If he knew and didn't do it, then what the hell was he looking for over there?
Song Yu quickly came back to his senses. She didn't want to talk about the topic, Peng Xi didn't say anything more, looked at the time, patted her shoulder, and said, "Hurry up and go to the party for a while, you have to go to the hospital later." ”
With such a big news out, the club will definitely be busy all day today. They have to keep spinning like spinning tops, and I'm afraid they don't want to have time to rest at noon.
Song Yu responded at this time.
She couldn't sleep on her stomach, so after a cup of coffee, she packed her things and planned to go to the hospital. She was about to leave the house when the editor-in-chief called her to the office. She thought she was going to give some kind of task, but it wasn't.
The editor-in-chief pondered for a moment and said, "Pay attention to safety during this time, didn't you hear that you and Xiao Peng are close? The main characters were not caught this time, and who knows if they will retaliate. ”
They took people's nests, and at this time, the people behind them were afraid that they were only eager to break them into pieces. At this time, it is natural to be careful.
Song Yu nodded in response.
The editor-in-chief also nodded, and added: "Pay attention to safety when you go out." Those people may be watching in the dark. ”
It is dangerous to do this business, Song Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, I will pay attention." ”
The editor-in-chief waved his hand and motioned for her to go and do her.
Song Yu walked out of the office and exhaled softly. She didn't stop, picked up her bag and went to the hospital.
The children had been hospitalized due to long-term hunger and malnutrition and mental problems, and Song Yu went over to explain the situation, and the nurse took her to see Xiao Nan first.
Among these children, they curl up at the slightest touch. The whole person trembled uncontrollably. They were all so hungry that they devoured the porridge they served, and after eating, they would not say whether they were full or not, and immediately curled up in a ball.
It is estimated that the time of a few passes is a little long, and I can't even take a spoon, and I will lick it after eating, just like a puppy.
The nurse said that her eyes were red and she scolded: "Those human traffickers who have received a thousand knives, why don't they die." Such a young child can even do it. I heard that the mastermind hasn't been caught yet, so you media must report more and put more pressure on the patrol bureau, so that these damn things can be arrested and brought to justice sooner!"
She was indignant. The nurses and doctors in their department had cried several times since the children were brought in.
At present, the children's relatives cannot be contacted, and the department has also spontaneously organized donations to buy clothes and daily necessities for these children.
Song Yu's mood was heavy, and he nodded and said, "We will definitely track it down to the end until the final mastermind is caught." ”
The two walked towards the ward while talking, Song Yu thought that only doctors or nurses were there at this time, but when he opened the door of the ward, he saw Tang Xu and Xiao Yun standing in the ward.
She couldn't help but be stunned.
Tang Xu probably didn't expect her to appear in the hospital so early, but he only glanced at her lightly, and continued to talk to the dean.
