That night, the police in R City conducted a thorough investigation of the Star Valley Bar in the name of anti-pornography and anti-drug activities.

As Gu Song said, there is a very hidden space hidden under the bar, which was dug and built by workers during the renovation of the bar. In the basement, the police found ropes, handcuffs and the like, as well as a small number of items left behind by the abducted girls, as well as accounts related to human trafficking. With these ironclad evidence, Mr. Wen, the owner of the bar, naturally cannot escape the punishment of the law.

Brother Yu, Mr. Z, Sister Hua and other important criminal gang members were also arrested one after another. A large human trafficking syndicate quickly dismantled in a police crackdown.

According to Mr. Wen's account, they began abducting and selling babies in late 2014, collecting "resources" through theft and buying at low prices, and then contacting contacts in other provinces to sell the children to several coastal cities in Guangdong, Fujian and other provinces. Because of the influence of some traditional concepts, baby boys are very popular in that area, and the average price can generally be sold for about 80,000 yuan, and even baby girls can be sold for 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.

In the summer of 2015, insatiable criminal gangs launched a new "business" of abducting and trafficking young girls. They select young and beautiful girls through various false recruitment information, and use abduction, kidnapping and other forms to control the personal freedom of girls. The girls were also sold to the southeast coast. Criminal organizations illegally detain and force abducted girls to trade with prostitutes for profit.

The breakthrough progress of the case made the police of R City excited, and everyone cheered up and joined hands with the police of other provinces to quickly eliminate the remnants of the criminal gang and strive to rescue all the abducted people as soon as possible.

For those who don't know, they are just immersed in the joy of the case being solved, and they don't care about the source of the information about solving the case, and they don't doubt the authenticity of the information. Little do they know that there was once an undercover agent who pretended to be a human trafficker and went deep into the inner workings of the criminal organization and made a terrible deal with the devil.

Gu Song always kept silent about the night of his disappearance. It seems that overnight, his temperament has undergone another great change, and this time the change is different from the loss of his identity after he escaped from the underground prison, which makes people deeply worried and vaguely aware of a hint of danger.

After crying heartily in front of Xia Shi, Gu Song began to become taciturn, numb and indifferent. Except for lying in the hospital bed every day to recuperate and be in a daze, he was not interested in anything, and he did not even inquire about the progress of the case once, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Whether he was awake, asleep, open or closed, Shen Hang's smiling face always lingered in his mind, haunting him like a ghost. He regretted that he had not been able to blow Shen Hang's head in the underground prison, creating an opportunity for the devil to continue to harm people. He obviously swore that no matter what, he would catch Shen Hang with his own hands, wash away his shame, and avenge those who had been deeply hurt by Shen Hang.

But this time, he lost again, and he lost so badly that he was completely disfigured. What a cunning man he was, Gu Song felt that he was ridiculously naïve in front of that person. Is there really a chance to win against Shen Hang again? Gu Song was already starting to be unconvinced. In addition to hatred in his heart, he felt a sense of fear for Shen Hang for the first time. Sometimes he wakes up from a nightmare, and he even has thoughts of giving up.

After lying in the hospital in a daze for nearly a week, Gu Song was finally discharged home. Qiao Sheng asked him to rest for a while before coming to work, but he just nodded silently and agreed, not showing the enthusiasm to return to work as usual.

Perhaps, apart from that, everything is no longer important.

At about nine o'clock in the evening on May 19, Gu Song led Jack for a walk in the community. The Labrador, which was adopted from Yu Chilong's family, was usually cared for by his mother. Because of the injury, he was bored at home, and his mother specially asked the sensible and obedient Jack to stay with him for a few days, hoping that he could adjust his mood well.

In fact, his mother didn't know what he had experienced some time ago, and he didn't dare to let his mother see his injuries. When his mother offered to stay and take care of him, he immediately rejected the offer, because he couldn't bear to face someone who cared for him with a cold face.

The phone in his pocket rang non-stop, and it was very harsh in the silent courtyard. Gu Song was disturbed, he looked at the name of the caller, frowned and turned off the phone.

Half an hour later, Gu Song returned home, and as soon as Jack entered the house, he ran to the kitchen to find water to drink. Gu Song slowly changed his shoes at the door, and just wanted to lie down on the sofa to rest for a while, when there was a sudden and loud knock outside the door.

Gu Song glanced out of the door, he didn't really want to deal with the person outside, but he knew that it would be useless to pretend that he was not at home at this time. Sure enough, the people outside continued to knock on the door unwillingly, and shouted loudly while knocking: "Gu Song, you open the door for me!" I know you're in there. ”

Gu Song was afraid that the people outside would continue to disturb the people, so he impatiently opened a crack in the door, guarding the other party like a thief, and asked in a low voice, "It's so late, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Why didn't you answer my phone?" Xia Shi said as he pulled the door open and broke in on his own, then slammed the door shut. Gu Song was taken aback, hurriedly took a few steps back, looked at Xia Shi suspiciously, and asked, "What do you want to do?" Trespassing? With that, he whistled loudly in the direction of the kitchen.

A few seconds later, a sturdy Labrador ran up to its owner in a cheerful manner. Gu Song touched its head, pointed to Xia Shi's nose and said, "Jack, drive this shameless bad guy out for me, and buy you meat and bones to eat tomorrow." Jack seemed to understand his master's words, bared his teeth when he rushed to the summer, and called out a few times.

Seeing this scene, Xia Shi couldn't help laughing. He crouched down, moved his finger at Jack and said, "Come here, little one, I'm a policeman, not a bad guy!" As soon as the words fell, Jack suddenly moved a few steps forward, squatted in front of Xia Shi, showed a very well-behaved appearance, and stretched out his tongue to shake Xia Shi's "hand" excitedly.

"Holy, you little traitor." Gu Song gently kicked Jack's ass from behind, looked at Xia Shi coldly and asked, "What are you here for?" It can't be a special trip to tease the dog, right? ”

"Of course not." Xia Shi patted Jack on the back, and immediately returned to a serious expression on his face, got up and said to Gu Song, "Our case is in a bit of trouble, and I want to ask you about it." ”

"I'm sorry." Hearing that it was related to the case, Gu Song's expression became even more gloomy, "I have done everything I can." And I'm on vacation right now, so I can't help you much, sorry. ”

"I want to ask you......" Xia Shi ignored Gu Song's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and continued, "The leading members of the criminal gang have almost all been caught, but one person has disappeared without a trace. Tell me, where the hell did Miss M go? ”

"What are you talking about?" Gu Song frowned, deliberately avoiding Xia Shi's gaze, "How can I know the whereabouts of that woman, it's your job to follow and monitor." ”

"You can't fool me. I know something must have happened between you and Miss M that night. She took you away, tortured you, and brought you back alive. Did you come to some kind of agreement? Did she ask you to deliberately release those messages to guide the police to investigate the Star Valley Bar? Gu Song, tell me the truth, did Mr. Wen be framed? Did he make someone's scapegoat? ”

"Didn't you already interrogate Mr. Wen, why did you ask me such a question? Could it be that the bar owner did not admit his guilt, did he say that he was wronged? ”

"Not really. However...... "Xia Shi paused," Mr. Wen never mentioned that Miss M had anything to do with their criminal activities throughout the interrogation. He only said that Miss M was his girlfriend and usually ran the Star Valley Bar with him, and that he had no knowledge of their illegal activities and had never been involved in their activities. But we all know that Mr. Wen must have lied about something. ”

"Whether he lies or shields Miss M, the rest of the things are up to you to find out, what's my business?"

"You ......" Xia Shi looked at Gu Song with some astonishment, he didn't expect such words to come out of his mouth. How is it none of your business? When did you become so irresponsible? ”

"Responsibility?" Gu Song sneered, "I was made like this by them, have I complained about anything?" I think I've done my best, please don't be me anymore......"

"Okay, I'm not going to embarrass you." Xia Shi took a few deep breaths and softened his tone, "Can you tell me why you let Miss M go?" Did she get some grip on you, or were you threatened by her? I know you have a lot of unspeakable secrets in your heart, if you treat me as a ......" Xia Shi hesitated for a moment and did not say the word "friend", "If you treat me as a partner, I hope you can say what you hold in your heart." We've been through so much together, don't you still trust me? ”

"I don't have much to say, especially with you." Gu Song walked to the door as he spoke, opened the door, and made a gesture of "please leave". "Surnamed Xia, don't think that if we solve a few cases together, I will treat you as my own person, talk to you heart-to-heart, and talk about everything. You go, I don't want to see you again. ”

"OK, I'll leave now." Xia Shi gritted his teeth unwillingly and walked out of the door of Gu Song's house. Just when Gu Song was about to close the door, Xia Shi suddenly blocked the door frame with his elbow and said to Gu Song seriously and seriously: "This matter will not end like this. Even if you don't tell me, I'll look it up myself. Believe it or not, I really want to help you. ”

After Xia Shi left, Gu Song stood quietly in front of the door, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "I'm sorry, Xia Shi, I let go not only Miss M, but also the person you hate the most in your life, Shen Hang." ”
