Volume II Nesting 48 Sins
Putting aside all the distractions, Chen Xing closed his eyes, relaxed his divine sense, and diverged around, he wanted to try his current state, what state his neural consciousness could reach.
The Aristotle is docked at the far right of the Pier 1 area of the Port of Singapore, which is the fishing boat docking area, and next to the pier 2, which is about 200 meters away, is the cargo ship docking area, which is also currently full of container ships. Just when Chen Xing's divine sense first touched the container ship on the right, he suddenly found that among the dozen or so containers full of tropical fruits on the ship, there were dozens of human figures in one of the containers, which surprised Chen Xing and quickly focused all his attention on this ship.
This is a small cargo ship, which can only sail in a short distance near the sea, and cannot be compared with the ultra-giant freighter in the ocean, with a hull of more than 60 meters, which looks dilapidated and shabby, and the Philippine flag on the ship is dirty and old, and it swings listlessly under the sea breeze at the pier.

In Zamboanga, a port city on the western island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines, in a slum near the port, a dilapidated wood-paneled house looms out in the darkness of the night, with leaky walls surrounded by 30-degree heat in a tropical monsoon climate. The three children of 6 and 7 years old in the room were already asleep, but two men and women in their 30s were still sitting against the wall, their sad and feeble eyes staring blankly at the ground beneath their feet, their sweat and dust-soaked hair hanging messily on their foreheads and cheeks.
The woman raised her head slightly, sobbed in a low voice and said to the man: "It's been 7 days, it's been 7 days, Junjun still hasn't heard from him, and the police don't care, Junjun is only 4 years old, where is he?"
The man couldn't answer, his head hung even lower. In the Philippines, there are too many cases of such lost children, and they are basically lost in the sea.
The woman suddenly stared at the man, and said in a trembling tone: "If you can't do it, you can go to Davao City, find Mr. Duterte, and let him think of a way, after all, he is his own flesh and blood, and his son, you can't really want it, right?"
The man looked away and whispered, "It's useless, I went to the post office to call, and he only said that he knew." He really doesn't want it, look at our home, if he has a little affection for this child, will we be like this?"
The woman lowered her head again, buried her face in her hands and lay on her knees, her thin shoulders trembling slightly in silent crying.

In Manado, a city at the northern tip of Sulawesi, Indonesia, in the police station in the slum area next to the sea, a policeman in his 40s took a big sip of a cup of strong black coffee, and said to a young policeman in his 20s who was also on duty next to him: "Although it is close to home, the children are only 3 or 4 years old, and these parents can rest assured that they let the children play on the beach, and the brothers and sisters of those children are only about 10 years old, and they are only going crazy to play with themselves, who will take care of these little cubs."
Looking at the little policeman's sleepy eyes, the old policeman glanced sympathetically at the four or five swarthy middle-aged men and women sitting at the door, and continued to raise his voice and said: "It's good now, no one is alive, no corpse is dead, who knows if these three little cubs have fallen into the sea or what? It's been 5 days, and all our policemen are looking for it every day. ”
As if he suddenly remembered something, the little policeman looked at the old policeman and whispered, "Could it be the ...... of the Huisi Party?"
Before he could continue, the old policeman kicked him under the table and gave him a look.
The little policeman also closed his mouth in amusement.
The four or five sluggish parents at the door, who were running for their livelihoods, had not had a good rest for five whole days, but what was the use? They had no power to change this fact, and could only wait here in vain and in despair every night, waiting for a miracle that could not happen. The poor people of this seaside city grew up like sheep in this way, where will they get special care.
The bulletin board on the wall at the entrance is densely plastered with no less than 20 leaflets looking for missing children, all of which are missing children in the past year, and none of them have been recovered. At the top are leaflets for three children, two girls and a boy, all of whom are only 4 years old, who disappeared five days ago. In the blurred photos of the children on the flyer, he looked at the two policemen opposite with innocent eyes, looking out the window at Manado, which was stuck in the middle of the night, this beautiful little town, this little town of sin.

In Kuda, a seaside city in northern Sabah, Malaysia, the seaside is quiet and peaceful in the middle of the night. There is a small church next to a coconut grove, and behind the church is a more tranquil cemetery. An old priest stood in front of a small tombstone on the edge, his sad eyes gazing at the three names on the brand new tombstone in the faint moonlight. Yes, there are no superfluous words carved on the tombstone, only three names, the names of Dad, Mom and 3-year-old son.
The humble coffins in the soil under the tombstones contained only the bodies of the husband and wife, who were of unknown generations of Malaysian Chinese, who had opened a small grocery store in the local area, and who had no relatives to come to and from in the world with no relatives to come to and fare with. For the sake of spiritual sustenance, the husband and wife are devout Christians, and they come to this small church every week for worship, and each time they bring some cheap food to the old pastor.
is such a poor family, but the whole family was killed 3 days ago, only the bodies of the husband and wife were found on the beach, and the bones of the child have not been seen so far, and the life and death are unknown. However, the local police department concluded early that the child had drowned, and it was listed as an unsolved case, which has not been solved so far.
Since the family of three had no relatives, the local government entrusted the pastor to handle the funeral, and the parishioners raised funds to buy the most humble coffins and tombstones, and hastily held a simple funeral. But the pastor knows that things are not that simple, but what can an old man do? In the dead of night, he could not sleep in the dead of night, so he could only pray silently in front of the tombstone of the poor family, hoping that the husband and wife would be safe and happy in heaven, that God would bless the miracle, and that the child would still be alive on earth.
With a dejected cross on his chest, the priest turned and walked into the chapel.
The moon in the sky is half bent, and the stars are dotted, looking down on the miserable world on the earth.

Chen Xing didn't know the scene that happened in the small cities of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia at the same time in the moonlight, and when he focused on the small cargo ship, he understood the general situation that his divine sense had just swept.
After careful scanning, he found that there was a person on duty in the wheelhouse, two people on the deck and next to the container walking back and forth with short sticks in their hands, and two people sleeping in the crew rest compartment under the wheelhouse.
On the deck, there are 2 rows of 24 containers with 2 rows and 2 floors, with a distance of about 1.5 meters between the two containers, each container is filled with bananas, durians and dragon fruits. However, in the fourth container on the bottom of the row near the left side of the ship, only the first third of the boxes were full of bananas, but behind the boxes there was a group of people huddled together, and if you looked closely, there were 20 people, and five of them were small and obvious children.
Chen Xing knew in his heart, this is obviously a gangster ship for human trafficking, what should I do?
After recovering his senses, he thought quickly in his heart. It seems that this ship is either going to smuggle the trafficked human beings ashore or temporarily dock at the port, with Chen Xing's ability now, since it has been encountered, it is impossible to ignore it. But this kind of thing can't be delayed for too long, it may change at any time, and there is not much time left for Chen Xing, so he must make a judgment early.
If he was still an ordinary person, Chen Xing could only choose to call the police, or make an anonymous call, otherwise he would not be able to explain how he found out. Of course, ordinary people will not easily find out about this situation.
Now it's different, Chen Xing has many options. After pondering for about a few minutes, after sweeping all the personnel on the Aristotle with his divine sense, Chen Xing climbed down from the roof of the wheelhouse, first returned to his cabin and changed into a pair of black boxer swimming trunks to put on his clothes, then found two dark towels, and then went out to bypass the second floor cabin and climbed down the escalator to the crew cabin on the third floor. Came to Ivan's door, knocked lightly on the door, Ivan's question came from the door, when Chen Xing's response was obtained, the door immediately opened, and Ivan let Chen Xing in.
The single cabin is small, about 2.5 meters long, except for a bed, a wardrobe and a desk, and the aisle is so narrow that only a folding back chair can be placed.
It was about 1 o'clock in the morning, and Ivan had already returned from the shift at 24 o'clock, and he hadn't fallen asleep yet, but he knew that Chen Xing must have something to do when he came to him so late. After letting Chen Xing sit on the bed, he sat on the back chair and looked at Chen Xing and said directly: "Alyosha, what's the matter?"
Chen Xing lowered his voice slightly and said, "When I was exercising on the roof just now, I found out that the small container ship next to it may be a black ship for human trafficking. Since I found out, I want to rescue those people, but I don't want to notify the police right away, because there are some situations that can't be explained afterwards, so I want you to go over with me to take a look. ”
Ivan didn't ask Chen Xing how he found out, and stood up to go out. Chen Xing grabbed him and asked him to change into a pair of swimming trunks, and they were about to sneak into the container ship from the water.
Chen Xing first went to the tool compartment of the mast in the center of the deck and found two fish cutting knives, he didn't want to take out the pistol and dagger in the Linglong Sumeru ring for the time being. At this time, Ivan changed into swimming trunks and came to the tool compartment, and after taking the fish cutting knife handed to him by Chen Xing, he found a small cable 20 meters long and the thickness of his thumb. The two avoided the duty officer in the second half of the night and quietly came to the stern of the ship to prepare to go to sea.
By the faint moonlight, the two took off their coats and shoes and hid on the deck, wearing only swimming trunks, Ivan took the dark towel handed to him by Chen Xing and tied it around his neck, and they prepared to meet the container ship to act in a mask. Chen Xingxing tied up a towel and went down to the sea first with a fish-cutting knife, and Ivan wrapped the thin cable around his neck and followed him into the sea with the knife.
Ivan had done a lot of tasks before and didn't feel like it, but Chen Xing was extremely excited to do this kind of thing for the first time, and he felt that he could really be a hero who punished evil and promoted good.
On the microwave rippling sea, two invisible lines of fresh water quietly approached the evil small container ship, and a dark cloud gradually obscured the already faint moonlight, could it be that the providence is helping these two heroes!
