"Where did all the wild animals you sent to S City end up?" Xu Lang asked.

"Most of them were smuggled abroad by Chang Hongyun using his freighter, although these things are not common in China, but they are not particularly rare, but they are different abroad, and there are many people abroad who like to raise these things, which are very profitable." Chen Zhen said.

"And what about the other part?" Xu Lang asked again.

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "As for the rest of the part, I don't know, after all, Chang Hongyun and I are only in a cooperative relationship, and he can't tell me everything." ”

Xu Lang nodded, knowing that what Chen Zhen said was right.

"What about the newborn babies? Did you use the same method to send them abroad? Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and asked.

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "How is it possible, smuggling wild protected animals abroad is a very risky thing, let alone babies, as I said, those babies were born not long ago, their bodies are very fragile, it is impossible to experience those winds and waves, and it is likely that they will die on the road before they are sent abroad, which is more than worth the loss for us." ”

"And what do you do with these babies?"

"I don't know the specifics, but, according to my guess, Chang Hongyun should have a fixed buyer, these children are likely to be those rich people, they can't have children, want a perfect child, and the newborn baby, don't know anything, as for who their father is, we don't know, let alone the buyer, as for the child's mother, after they gave birth, they were wiped out, people died, naturally it is impossible to find children, whether it is for us, or for buyers, It's all a good thing. ”

"Do you know who these children are sold to?" Xu Lang asked.

Chen Zhen shook his head again and said, "I don't know, but Chang Hongyun definitely knows." ”

"Why?" Xu Lang frowned and asked.

"As far as I know, Chang Hongyun has an account book in his hand, and he remembers the whereabouts of every baby clearly, and he must know."

"Why did Chang Hongyun do this?"

"Hehe......"

Hearing Xu Lang ask, Chen Zhen smiled and said, "The answer is very simple, of course it's for money." ”

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something, he looked at Chen Zhen and said, "You mean, after Chang Hongyun sold these children to whom he sold, he recorded their whereabouts in detail, and in addition to the money you got in hand, you still want to blackmail them?" ”

Chen Zhen nodded and said, "I don't know, this is just my conjecture, whether this is the case or not, I need you to ask Chang Hongyun." ”

"By the way, did you catch Chang Hongyun?"

Xu Lang did not answer Chen Zhen's question, his heart is very confused now, although, from the various signs found in the current investigation, the criminal gang headed by Uncle Li is not only engaged in the smuggling and trafficking of wild animals, but also engaged in the illegal act of trafficking infants, but after hearing Chen Zhen's own admission, Xu Lang could not accept this fact.

How poor a person is, will make a profit, and how inhuman a person must be, will do this, in their eyes, those newborn babies are not people, but goods, goods that can make them money, when they think of this, it makes people very angry, and what makes Xu Lang feel extremely angry and extremely sad are the women who gave birth to these children.

How poor and lacking of money are they to think of using it to get money? And for what are they doing this? What's in the picture?

Although, in foreign countries, open countries, some people will choose to do this, but it is only a very few, and Huaxia, an ancient civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years, in ancient times, when the civilization was backward, the ideology was feudal, and the preference for sons was preference, in order to have a child, they might do this, but at most, it is just to adopt or adopt, and it is more about marrying more wives, the ancients are still like this, in this era, there are still people who will do this.

Not to mention, pregnancy and childbirth have a lot of harm to a woman's body, even if they successfully get pregnant and give birth to a child, what do they get? In the end, they didn't get anything, but lost their lives, is it worth it?

Of course it's not worth it.

Before he knew the truth, Xu Lang always felt that those who sold their bodies were pathetic, pitiful, and hateful, but most people still had extenuating circumstances, or rather, they were forced to resist the temptation, such as the case of buying and selling human organs that Xu Lang detected at the beginning, they hurt themselves, but what about this case? They killed others, and what is even more hateful is that they actually hit those newborn babies who don't understand anything, which is unbearable for any person, not to mention, so many people died.

The reason why people are human is because they know how to think, and they have morality and conscience to restrain themselves, but what about them? Where are their morals and conscience? Or rather, where is their humanity?

Tigers don't eat their children, animals do, but what about people?

Xu Lang suddenly remembered a sentence, people, sometimes they are people, and sometimes, they are not people at all, Chen Zhen is like this.

After a long silence, Xu Lang spoke again.

"Who the hell is Uncle Li?" Xu Lang asked.

Chen

After thinking about it, he said: "Since I was born, the uncle has been in the village, I only know that he has a high prestige in the village, and almost everything in the village is decided by him, I don't know who he is, but he has a lot of power, and the more I grow up, the more I can clearly feel this." ”

"You're afraid of him?"

"There is no one in the village who is not afraid of him."

"Then why are you so afraid of him?"

"I don't know, I was born."

"Did you start smuggling and selling wild animals and babies in the past few years?" Xu Lang asked.

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "Baby trafficking has only started in the past few years, and as for the smuggling of wild protected animals, in fact, it has been done a long time ago. ”

"Did it a long time ago?"

Xu Lang frowned and looked at Chen Zhen.

"Yes, it started a long time ago." Chen Zhen nodded and said: "Chen Qiumin is dead, I think your police must have investigated Chen Qiumin's family background and knew that his parents had died, and they had a farm in Changyang City, in fact, it was the earliest place to smuggle wild animals." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang was suddenly shocked, and then, he figured it out, before, when Fan Yang went back to his hometown to investigate the murder of Chen Jianjun and his wife, he had found this farm, but because of the death of Chen Jianjun and his wife, this farm was not taken care of, and it had long been abandoned. Their understanding of Chenjiahe Village is still too shallow.

"When did the smuggling thing begin?" Xu Lang asked.

Chen Zhen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly when it started, but I can be sure that the smuggling started a long time ago. ”

"That's right."

Xu Lang pinched his chin and fell silent.

"Did Chen Jianjun and his wife really die unexpectedly?" Xu Lang asked suddenly.

"Accidents? How can it be. ”

Chen Zhen smiled and said, "They don't want to do this anymore, they are ready to leave Chenjiahe Village completely, and the uncle knows about it, so they are dead." ”

"How do you know?" Xu Lang asked.

"Chen Wang was drunk once, I inadvertently asked about it, and he told me."

"Then does Chen Qiumin know?" Xu Lang asked again.

Chen Zhen thought about it, frowned, and said uncertainly: "Maybe I don't know, if he knows, with his character, he will definitely kill Chen Wang." ”

Xu Lang was silent.

"In the room where Chen Qiumin lives, there is a refrigerator, and in the refrigerator, we found cooked corpse parts, what happened to these corpse parts?" Xu Lang asked.

"Oh, you said those corpses, Chen Qiumin actually has a habit of eating people, you should know, right?" Chen Bo looked at Xu Lang and asked.

Xu Lang nodded, for Chen Qiumin's cannibalism, the previous investigation has proved this, and Chen Yuzhen's previous confession has further proved this, and now, hearing Chen Zhen say this, Xu Lang was not shocked at all.

"Those corpses are actually the corpses of those pregnant women."

"Pregnant? However, we found the man's body in the refrigerator. Xu Lang frowned and said.

"It was some time ago, there was a villager who wanted to leave, and then, he was killed, and another was an eight-year-old child, he was a child from the next village, and he accidentally saw something that he shouldn't be looking at, and he was killed."

"When did Chen Qiumin start eating people?"

"I don't know exactly when, but, I'm sure that he eats people, either genetically or cultivated by his uncle." Chen Zhen said.

"Heredity?"

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of Chen Qiumin's grandfather.

"Could it be that Chen Qiumin's grandfather has eaten people?" Xu Lang asked in shock.

Chen Zhen nodded and said: "I also heard that it is said that Chen Qiumin's grandfather, in order to survive during the war, survived by eating human flesh, as for the truth, I don't know." ”

"Then you said that Chen Qiumin's cannibalism may have been cultivated by Uncle Li, what do you mean?"

"This is just my speculation, among our group of people, only he has the best relationship with the uncle, Chen Qiumin's cannibalism, I estimate that nine times out of ten it is related to the uncle."

Hearing Chen Zhen say this, Xu Lang felt more and more that there were too many secrets in Chenjiahe Village, and they were far beyond Xu Lang's imagination.

Next, Xu Lang asked Chen Zhen a lot of questions, and Chen Zhen also told everything he knew, including his relationship with Song Jinzhong, Song Jinzhong and Chang Hongyun's possible hiding places, these places are similar to Chen Shuhao and Chang Cunliang's confessions, and finally, it is about the whereabouts of Uncle Li and others.

In the end, Xu Lang learned a very important piece of information from Chen Zhen, that is, among the mountains behind Chenjiahe Village, there was a secret base built very early, where it was, Chen Zhen didn't know, but he was sure that there was such a place, since Xu Lang and they couldn't find Uncle Li's whereabouts for the time being

, then, they are probably hiding in that secret base.

This information is undoubtedly a very noteworthy and important piece of information, and after Xu Lang learned about it, he immediately contacted Tian Yongchun, who was still sitting in Chenjiahe Village, and Tian Yongchun immediately began to rearrange the direction of the search after learning of this information.

————

After the interrogation, Xu Lang found that Chen Zhen not only did not feel depressed and uneasy because he said everything, but instead felt a sense of relief and relief.

When Chen Zhen was taken out of the interrogation room, he looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Am I going to be sentenced to death?" ”

"Whether you will be sentenced to death, I don't know, I believe the law will give you a fair sentence."

"I know that I will definitely be sentenced to death, I just hope that this day will come sooner so that I can be truly free."

Xu Lang looked at Chen Zhen and didn't speak, from Chen Zhen's eyes, Xu Lang could see that he was telling the truth.

Chen Zhen was taken away, and Xu Lang and the others also left the detention center, and now, they are going back to CSY to see the situation on CSY's side.

On the way back, Ding Haoqiong looked at Xu Lang, whose face was gloomy and terrifying, and he asked, "Do you really believe what Chen Zhen said?" ”

Xu Lang turned his head, looked at Ding Haoqiong and asked, "Don't you believe it?" ”

Ding Haoqiong shook his head, thought about it, and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't dare to believe it, and I don't want to believe it." ”

Xu Lang was silent.

Indeed, the content of Chen Zhen's confession is beyond Xu Lang's imagination, smuggling and selling wild protected animals, trafficking infants, imprisoning pregnant women, killing people and even cannibalism, any of which is terrifying, unbelievable, incomprehensible, and unacceptable.

Chenjiahe Village, Xu Lang and Ding Haoqiong have been there, although Chenjiahe Village is a very remote village, the village does seem to be very poor, but it is not so poor that it can't open the pot, in the village, people can still be self-sufficient, although life is hard, but it has not yet fallen to the road of homicide.

In fact, Chen Zhen is certainly not the first batch of smuggling and trafficking of wild protected animals, there are others doing it, especially in the northwest of Huaxia, there are many similar gangs that are cracked down by the police every year, after all, under the temptation of money, there are still many people who take risks, but they also pay a heavy price for it while gaining benefits.

Human trafficking, however, has been much less in recent years, but in the past there were still a lot of them, especially in the last century, but human trafficking, mainly women and children, most of these women have been deceived into poor rural mountain villages, to those singles as daughters-in-law, or forced to engage in prostitution activities, some are sent abroad, engaged in similar work, but as the state pays more and more attention to this aspect, the crackdown is getting bigger and bigger, and similar things happen less and less.

Especially in the current era, there can be no illiteracy, ordinary people are not so easy to deceive, however, compared with the abduction of women There are fewer cases, but there are more and more incidents of child trafficking, and many families neglect the care of their children because of work and other reasons, so that some people with bad intentions have an opportunity to take advantage of it, resulting in children being abducted and trafficked, and the state also attaches great importance to this aspect, and the crackdown is also very strong, especially with the help of parents who have lost their children, as well as other people. Every year, trafficked children are found, and criminals are caught and punished by the law.

It's just that Xu Lang and they never thought that in this society with sound laws and civilization, there are still people who are so mad that they make money by selling babies, and what is hateful is that those women who give birth to these children are actually voluntary, which is one thing that Xu Lang and they can't accept.

In addition, there is another thing that Xu Lang can't believe or understand.

Judging from the current investigation of these circumstances and information, the secret behind Chenjiahe Village involves many people, and the largest number of people involved are all the people in Chenjiahe Village, and the people of a village commit crimes together, which is not unheard of in history, but there are only a handful, very rare, Xu Lang is difficult to understand, why do they engage in criminal activities, is it because they have no cultural education, do not know that they are committing crimes, or because they have been deceived, or they know that this is a crime, but still do it?

If it's for money, they have made a lot of money by smuggling and selling wild protected animals over the years, and they can leave Chenjiahe Village and go to live in the county and urban areas, and it is absolutely necessary to continue, but they didn't leave, when Xu Lang and they went to Chenjiahe Village to investigate, they found that each of their families was not very rich, and they didn't look like they were rich, why is this?

If it's not for the money, what are they doing it?

What puzzled Xu Lang the most was Uncle Li.

What kind of ability and strength does he have to make everyone listen to him, not only the people in the village listen to him, but young people like Chen Zhen are also very obedient, you know, the city is not like the countryside, in the city, the information received is the most advanced, but they are willing to follow the crime together, why is this? Chen Zhen is still a college student, although he has not graduated, he must have a lot of knowledge of the law, and he participated in the crime mainly because of Uncle Li.

What does an old man who is about to die rely on to control so many people and follow him into the abyss of sin?
