Since the police officer's head was broken, the noisy farmers' market has become more peaceful. After all, none of the vendors who come here to set up stalls want to go to the police station with a hot head, otherwise they will be embarrassed and will have to lose a day or a few days of turnover. Nowadays, if there is a dispute between the seller and the buyer, or between the seller and the seller, and it cannot be resolved by negotiation, the parties concerned have also learned to call the market manager to coordinate first. As a result, the staff of the market management office sometimes have to make a few more trips out of the office, but they are also happy to see that the probability of violent conflicts in the market that could endanger their jobs is greatly reduced. A few young children muttered in private that it was the self-proclaimed heroic old criminal policeman who bought the peace of the entire market with blood.

This malicious ridicule naturally couldn't escape the ears of the old criminal policeman, but he didn't get angry when he heard it, but instead used it to claim to be a hero, and recently he often sneaked out to smoke and bask in the sun during duty hours. Considering that this period of the market is calm, this old guy is also injured in the line of duty and always complains that the vacation for recuperation is too short, and the leaders of the management office turn a blind eye to him. No, just after half past nine, after the "vigorous" morning market, he slipped out of the west gate of the market again.

Xing Tian quietly dialed Zheng Rong's mobile phone: "Hey, me." "Oh, you didn't call me from your office phone. Willing to pay for your phone bill?" "What's the matter?" "Take this note. He read the URL of the website selling children on the note. "This is a website...... ""It's a clue, what you care about the most, and it's also your opportunity to make meritorious contributions." There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and Fang replied: "Thank you." "Don't be in a hurry to announce it after the meritorious service, and keep the website for me first." There may be a few big fish in the back, and I'm going to use this site to touch them. "Yes. "Wait!" It sounded like Zheng Rong was going to hang up the phone, and Xing Tian couldn't help but stop him, "That...... I have to apologize to you. "Why?" "The other day I said that the second time I hated human traffickers was because of you, and that was angry talk. Actually, it's not because of you, at least not because of you. "It doesn't matter, no matter who it is, you and I just do what we have to do. ”

The call stopped, and Xing Tian lit a cigarette. "Ahem......" he coughed as he smoked, and as a puff of smoke drifted in front of his eyes, the past of five years ago seemed to resurface.

At midnight, I couldn't see my fingers, only the distant warehouse still showed a faint light. Xu Yifeng, who was hiding in the shadows, clenched the pistol in his right hand, and gently pulled the photo out of his pocket with his left hand. It's silent, and the warehouse seems to be quiet. He had observed with a telescope during the day that the latch of the gate was a little rotten.

There was almost nothing in sight but the warehouse gate, which was getting closer and clearer. With a "bang", Xu Yifeng kicked open the door of the warehouse. "Don't move, police!" he instinctively raised his gun, and the other thing he held up at the same time was not a police ID card, but the photograph, which was black and white, and a little girl was smiling sweetly.

This is what White Snake looked like when he was twelve or thirteen years old.

Xu Yifeng's original intention was to quickly compare the faces in the warehouse according to the photos and find the white snake as soon as possible. But when he kicked open the door, he was stunned: more than 20 young men and women were huddled in the choking warehouse, lying upside down between abandoned storage shelves and cargo boxes of varying heights, like goods stored here, barely maintaining basic physiological activities. The eldest of them looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and when they saw Xu Yifeng with a gun, their eyes were terrified and confused.

Xu Yifeng forgot to search for the White Snake from among them for a while.

In the early morning of the next day, on a street five miles away from the warehouse, a couple who had just gotten up heard movement outside, opened the curtains, and saw a policeman outside the window holding a gun to the head of a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked obscene, and a scar on his face should have made him particularly hideous, but in the face of the police, he sat on the ground like a begging dog, shouting, "I surrender, I surrender!" A gun was thrown at his feet.

Staring at this ugly face, Xu Yifeng did not have a trace of sympathy in his heart. This middle-aged man was another target last night, but he didn't expect that this guy was on his way back to the warehouse when he attacked, and when he saw only one policeman, he still planned to resist arrest at gunpoint. Xu Yifeng pretended to be hidden and waited for help, let him escape, and took a shortcut to intercept and subdue him before he blended into the crowded area.

It was he who kidnapped, deceived or "collected" those teenagers from others, kept them in warehouses, taught them the skills of pickpocketing and stealing, and let them go out to steal every day after they "learned". He proclaimed himself their father, in that case he was a veritable beast father: he ordered the "children" to hand over to him the entire daily "harvest", but only provided them with a minimum of food and clothing, and those who could not meet the minimum daily "harvest standard" had to starve and even be beaten; he said that they were all criminals, "once a thief, a thief for life", and only "daddy" could shelter them; he threatened anyone who dared to escape from the warehouse or betray "daddy", "daddy" When he wants to possess a certain "daughter", he will exchange his own food or stolen jewelry, or use "people he knows" and prison cells as threats to force those underage girls to "serve their fathers", and more than half of the more than 20 children are girls, and they have served "fathers".

Knowing this from the mouths of White Snake and other children, Xu Yifeng regretted that he couldn't block this mongrel in the warehouse, so that White Snake and other children could see that "Daddy" was like a grandson under his gun.

"I surrender...... I confess...... I'll cooperate...... "Cooperation?, who cooperates with your dog!" His greed for life and fear of death made Xu Yifeng more and more disgusted. "Bang", the crisp sound of gunfire echoed through the streets.

"Xu Yifeng, what did you do?" In the office of the head of the criminal investigation detachment, Xu Yifeng sat and was trained like a prisoner on trial. The detachment leader threw a newspaper on his desk, and a news headline on the inside page of the newspaper was "Suspect Raised His Hand to Surrender but Was Shot Dead by Police on the Spot." "Why don't you just handcuff him and bring him back to the bureau, why shoot him?" and besides, his sin is not ......" "He deserves to die." Xu Yifeng, who rarely contradicts the leader in person, confronted him unconvinced, "Look at those children......" "Should you die or not, do you have the final say? The state has national laws!" The detachment leader did not allow him to justify, "You are a law enforcer, and you can't kill indiscriminately!"

The detachment leader approached Xu Yifeng, as if to see him through: "Are you acting without permission this time just to catch 'Daddy'?" I'm afraid it's even more to save Lao Liu's daughter?" Hearing this, Xu Yifeng, who was originally holding his neck, lowered his head and said nothing. The detachment leader sighed and said, "Wait for the punishment." It's your luck that you haven't been photographed and don't let people know your name, otherwise you'll be ruined before the inspector comes. "Detachment leader, 'Daddy' has a few minions on the run, and they help him kidnap and supervise those children......" "Got it. The detachment leader waved his hand and motioned for him to leave, "The evidence is conclusive, other comrades will catch them." ”

About two weeks after Xing Tian called Zheng Rong, the operators of the website that sold children were wiped out by the public security organs. As soon as he received the news, Yu Gong temporarily changed his mind, and when it was confirmed that the Italian translator's mobile phone could also access the Internet, Jiao Xingtian used the IP and email address of the website to send the pre-edited email to the female translator's mobile phone number.

As expected by the foul team, on the day the email was sent, the Italian translator translated it into French and handed it to Neo? Bay。 And it was almost nine o'clock that night, in room 207 of the Holiday Inn, Neo? Bay's video calls are still ongoing.

"Your progress is too slow, and the customer is very unhappy. "The pre-election campaign has begun, and his orphanage will be open to videographers in less than three weeks." Do you want him to smile kindly at an empty cradle?"

"God, Henry, of course I know time is pressing!" Bay complained, "But the investigation here is also very tight, and if you are not careful, you will be like the Chinese say, 'stealing chickens does not make rice'." "It's not our difficulties that the customer is worried about, it's our commitment ......" At this time, the door slammed, Neo? Bay took the opportunity to look alarmed and said, "Pause, Henry. I'll get back to you," and turned off the video of the call.

It was an Italian translator who came in, and she was carrying a box of Daoxiangcun dim sum. Neo? Bay cast an inquiring look, and the female translator nodded. "Phew—"Neo?" Bay let out a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed, and reached for the Adelson College medallion from the bedside table. Shouldering the mission of the organization, whenever her faith is shaken, she will stare at the medal like an enemy, trying to remember the pain and resentment she has buried deep in Adelson College.

When Neo? Bay took the jujube cake from the female translator's hand and planned to relax with delicious food, and dozens of kilometers away from the Holiday Inn, a net against them was being opened. Black Santanari, Yu Gong and Xingtian discussed the final details. "They replied, the day after tomorrow. "Okay, get ready. White Snake met with them every day, and it was right not to participate in this operation. Yu Gong counted with his fingers and said, "In more than a week, it will be time for the Spring Festival." The day after tomorrow, the 'Cradle' plan will come to a perfect end, and everyone will have a good year with peace of mind. He suddenly thought that Zhuo Wu's parents were about to arrive in Beijing, and couldn't help laughing: "Let White Snake concentrate on pretending to be Zhuo Wu's girlfriend, and the fake daughter-in-law will have to see her in-laws after all, haha." "Hmph. Xing Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head. When it comes to this, what he is most worried about is that the white snake will get sick in front of Zhuo Wu's family.

In fact, this afternoon, when White Snake was in a daze at the service desk, she also thought about it intentionally or unintentionally, but fortunately, sensitive words such as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" flashed in her mind at that time, and she felt that her mental state did not fluctuate greatly.
