According to Sun Tu's request, someone took the relevant files of the case of lost and trafficked persons stored in the Kaifeng Mansion in the rack library for the past two years and sent it to him. In the seven and eight years of Zhenghe alone, there were no less than 100 related cases in Tokyo, and as far as the people's current fear of officials is concerned, I am afraid that the actual cases of abduction and trafficking are several times greater.

When he saw that so many files were sent in, Sun Tu's brows furrowed deeply, he didn't expect the situation to be so bad. What made him feel even more angry was that so many abduction and trafficking cases happened right under his nose, but the relevant officials of Kaifeng Mansion did not investigate it deeply at all and let it go.

This can be seen only from the extremely simple records in these files, and the results that eventually led to death cases. Sun Tu thought that it would take a lot of time to read these many files by himself, and even planned to call some scribes to read them together, but in the end, it only took him half a day to turn over more than 100 files, which shows the simplicity of the records above, and among the hundreds of cases, only seven or eight victims were recovered, and the others were never heard from again.

He finally understood why such cases appeared in Tokyo one after another, and it was caused by the government's inaction. Since the abducted population is almost never traced by the government, some people are naturally more relieved and will continue to commit crimes in order to earn benefits. It's a vicious circle.

After closing his eyes for a while and suppressing the anger in his heart, Sun Tufang sorted out the relevant ideas. In fact, it is naturally impossible to gain anything from investigating the cases of a few months or even a year ago at this time, so he did this to find some of the connections and see if these abduction cases were committed by the same group of prisoners.

And as far as the current situation is known, there is really such a possibility. For example, from the perspective of time, most of these cases occur in the blue sky and daylight, and even on an important festival, it is obvious that the other party has calculated the hand of many people. In addition, the place where the victim was abducted is generally a densely populated place, which naturally increases the risk, and it can also be concluded that the prisoner must be very skilled in the abduction, and even cooperate to take the person away without being noticed by the people around him.

"So it's all organized crime." After Sun Tu came to a conclusion, three words jumped out of his mind first-Pink Swallow!

When Sun Fu introduced himself to the power of the gangs in Tokyo, although he only focused on the Bamboo Gang and the Shunshui Gang, he also mentioned the existence of a mouthful of pink swallows. Unlike the first two, Pink Swallow acts more secretively, just because what they do is human trafficking, and they also collude with some Qinglou Goulan. However, judging from the information we have so far, most of the pink swallows are women from outside the capital, and then sell them into the Qinglou, but they rarely commit crimes locally, after all, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest.

Another thing that made Sun Tu suspect that this matter had something to do with Pink Swallow was that most of the people who disappeared in the past six months were young women between the ages of sixteen and twenty, which is worth playing. Because it stands to reason that it is much easier to abduct a child than a girl, and the price is even higher. But since the beginning of this year, more than 20 women have disappeared, including the granddaughter of Guan Laohan's family and the granddaughter of Yu Xianggong, who was abducted during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When the kidnapper and the girl are combined, it is easy to make people suspect the pink swallow. So Sun Tu called Sun Fu over and asked him more about this mysterious group.

But as a result, Sun Fu couldn't say why: "All the heads forgive their sins, and the little ones really have limited knowledge about it." This pink swallow has always been low-key and secretive, and hardly has much contact with outsiders, we only know that there are such people who are not very peaceful, but who they really are, and where they are usually hiding is not easy to find. ”

"Is there such a thing? Can I let such thieves go unpunished? ”

"Don't you know, there are enough errands in the yamen on weekdays, plus the pink swallow has a backer, we really can't check it clearly."

"Backer? Is it the ruling elite? Sun Tu's eyes narrowed, as if he had understood something.

Sun Fu lowered his voice and said, "Dutou has been in Tokyo for a while, so I should have heard that a store like Fan Lou has a behind-the-scenes owner, right?" In fact, not only the main store, but also those gambling halls and green buildings are also average, especially the latter, and the care of some powerful people is indispensable. And Qinglou usually needs fresh goods to attract guests, so it is naturally indispensable to have something to do with pink swallows. After coming and going, Pink Swallow is inseparable from some powerful people in the DPRK. ”

Sun Tu sneered, this is clearly a big net of collusion between officials and thieves and related interests. It seems that in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty in Haiyan Heqing, there are so many dirty things hidden!

"So it's not easy to find the pink swallow, and we don't have any clues yet." Sun Fu glanced at Sun Tu and smiled bitterly. After a pause, he said again: "Actually, what Dutou really wants to investigate now is the case of Yu Xianggong's granddaughter being abducted, and it's hard to say whether this is related to Pink Swallow." Maybe it was a thief from outside Tokyo who did it? ”

This is just a headache and a pain in the foot, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem. Sun Tu was naturally quite disdainful of this approach, but at this time, after all, he still needed the assistance of the other party, so he didn't say anything unpleasant, but said patiently: "In fact, this official just suspected that Yu Xianggong's granddaughter was not taken captive by people outside the city, so he thought of Pink Swallow." ”

Seeing that the other party was a little puzzled, he explained: "It is clear in the dossier that it was after dark when she was taken away. At that time, the gates of Tokyo were closed early, and it was impossible for thieves to take them out. Then, the Yu family reported to the official, and the gates of the four cities naturally had to strictly investigate and ask the people who went out of the city, do you think that if there are thieves outside, they can easily take Miss Yu out? "Fortunately, Kaifeng Mansion attaches great importance to the case of Miss Yu's abduction, so the relevant records are also more detailed, and some clues can be seen.

"This ...... I'm afraid it can't be done. Sun Fu could only shake his head.

"In this case, nine times out of ten, the thieves in the city were responsible, because they had a way to hide them. And Pink Swallow, as a person who often does this business, naturally has reason to suspect them. ”

Sun Tu's inference is indeed reasonable, but even so, it is still difficult to find out about the pink swallow, at least for now, there is no direct clue.

This road could not be taken for the time being, so Sun Tu could only go to the other side, and he soon went to meet his colleague Dutou Ma Huaibang, because there was a related case that he was responsible for.

Ma Huaibang is a slightly fat, often smiling on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha. After seeing Sun Tu coming to him, he smiled quite humbly: "I don't know what Sun Guanren commands?" "Although the positions of the two are average, they are much different in terms of identity, after all, Sun Tu is a Jiupin official, and he is just a permanent name Yaqian.

Sun Tu also smiled at him: "Of course, it is related to the abduction case that I just took over, and I hope that Ma Dutou can help me." ”

"Of course, but I really don't know where to help Sun Guanren." Ma Huaibang nodded hurriedly in response, he had already learned about Sun Tu's next errand from Xue Tongju, and he didn't dare to shirk at this time.

"Two months ago, the kidnapping of the granddaughters of the four Guan families was investigated by Ma Dutou, right?" Only then did Sun Tu put away his smile and get to the point.

The other party also showed a solemn look on his face: "Exactly." However, no further clues could be found in this case, so it could only be delayed. ”

"yes, these cases happen every few days, and it's really hard for us to investigate." Sun Tu echoed and said, but then changed the conversation: "But this time the performance of the Guan family is very different from that of other bitter masters, just a few days ago, that Guan Si also brought his family to my Kaifeng Mansion to cry, and other bitter masters did not do this." ”

"This ...... His family is indeed a little different, because this is a granddaughter of his Guan family for several generations, and she is the most precious. Ma Huaibang smiled bitterly: "For this reason, they are not less blamed for their humble duties." But there is really nothing we can do about such cases, so we can only deal with them. ”

"In my opinion, it seems that this is not the only reason why the Guan family is doing this, right? Is there anything else hidden in it? Sun Tu squinted at the other party and said.

Being stared at by Sun Tu like this, Ma Huaibang's heart was weak for a while, and he suddenly became a little distracted: "This ......"

"Ma Dutou, our attitude towards such cases has always been casual, and it is not a sin for you to do this. But if you deliberately conceal some inside information, the matter will be serious, and people may be suspected of colluding with thieves. Seeing this, Sun Tu immediately made a threat.

These words made the other party shudder even more, and finally said: "Sun Dutou forgive me, it is really related to the reputation of my Kaifeng Mansion...... At first, I couldn't find anything, but the Guan family refused to give up, and then Guan Si's son actually went around to investigate, and according to them, he did find something...... But just after that, Guan Da, that is, Guan Si's son, was found drowned in the Bianhe River. ”

"Another life? There are such big cases, don't I care about Kaifeng Mansion? Sun Tu asked angrily.

"But there is no suspicion in Guan Da's death, he fell into the water after being drunk, and he was not murdered at all. And it doesn't have to be related to the disappearance of his daughter. Ma Huaibang hurriedly explained.

Sun Tushen exhaled: "There are two big cases, plus one life, you can still act as if nothing happened." No wonder those thieves are so rampant, committing a lot of crimes in two years. Since you don't check, let me check it out! ”

Hearing him say this, Ma Huaibang couldn't help but bow his head a little ashamed......
