On the morning of July 8, 2016, in the No. 2 workshop of a prison in Yunnan, a man sat absentmindedly at his work desk, occasionally peeking at the person sitting diagonally opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

The man was his roommate, Xiao Jin, who had been sentenced to life in prison four months earlier for intentional wounding. For a young man who was only 28 years old, it was simply more unbearable than the death penalty, at least for him, who would rather die than spend the rest of his life in prison.

Before being imprisoned, Xiao Jin was the right-hand man of a gangster boss, and he lived a life of fighting and killing with his brothers all day long.

Because he always has a black face all day long, and his personality is as stuffy as a gourd, almost no one has ever seen him smile, and people on the road call him "Rakshasa". Later, in order to better match this title, Xiao Jin deliberately tattooed a majestic and evil Rakshasa ghost on his left arm.

Just after the lights went out last night, while everyone else was asleep, Xiao Jin attached himself to his ear and secretly told him something. That incident made him toss and turn for a night, until he came to work in the workshop this morning, he still thought about Xiao Jin's proposal repeatedly in his mind, after all, it takes courage and courage to make such a decision.

"Yuan Liwen, come out with me!"

The guard's words interrupted the man's thoughts, and he snapped back to his senses and looked at the other man in surprise, not knowing what was important to call him out at this moment.

"Come with me, someone wants to see you." The prison guard explained coldly.

Hearing this, the man felt even more strange, and at the same time, he also had a bad premonition in his heart.

His name is Yuan Liwen, 36, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison in late 2015 for drug trafficking. He has no family, his so-called friends are either detainees or fugitives, and it is impossible for anyone to visit him in prison.

Besides, today is not the day to visit the prison, so there is only one possibility for the person who wants to find him at this time: that is, the person sent by the police to find out the news from him. Because as far as he knew, their drug dealer boss has not yet been caught, and he is one of the few people who know where the boss is hiding.

Without inside information, it is almost impossible to find their boss, and the police know this, so they have asked him to cooperate more than once, and induced him to speak with various reward conditions such as commutation of sentence.

It's just that he won't say anything, no matter how many times the police look for him, the result is the same. He was a righteous man who could not betray his brother, especially the one who had been kind to him.

Reluctantly, he followed the guards to the conversation room, entered the room, and found that someone was already waiting for him. The visitor was a tall, grim-looking man, who wore a light outfit but still gave an indescribable sense of oppression.

Yuan Liwen only glanced at the other party and knew that the character who came today was not easy to deal with, but he had already made up his mind that no matter what the other party asked him, he would face it with silence.

"I'm sorry for you." The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and he thanked the prison guards. The prison guard knew that this conversation was a special situation, and after a few polite words and notes, he left the room with a sense of humor.

As the iron door closed, the room fell into a dull atmosphere. The man was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at Yuan Liwen silently, until he saw that the latter had some hairiness in his heart before he slowly asked, "You are a vulture, right?" ”

Hearing this long-lost title, Yuan Liwen, who had planned to be silent to the end, almost fell off the chair. His eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth was wide enough to fit a goose egg.

Seeing his reaction, the other party smiled proudly and said, "It seems that I have found the right person." Honestly, it took me a lot of effort to find out your whereabouts. ”

"You, who are you?" Yuan Liwen tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, and asked with his mouth open.

Before following the boss in the drug business, he spent some time in a trafficker organization that was responsible for contacting buyers, and the name he used at the time was "Condor".

In the fall of 2014, for personal reasons, he sold several of his abducted children to a regular buyer and left the organization to start a new business.

In 2015, he fell into a "trap" set by the police, and was arrested and imprisoned during a drug transaction, but the police did not seem to know that he had been involved in human trafficking. Since the police didn't mention that incident, of course it is impossible for him to take the initiative to confess, otherwise he will add to the crime, even if he is not sentenced to death, he will have to be sentenced to life imprisonment like Xiao Jin, and he will never come out.

He thought that the child trafficking incident was so messy that no one would go through the old accounts again. Unexpectedly, today this person would ask him straight to the point if he was a vulture, which was really beyond his expectations.

After looking at each other for a moment, the man introduced himself: "My name is Zhong Xin, I am a police officer, and I am currently on a special mission, and I want to ask you about some information." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid I don't have anything to help you." Yuan Liwen said with a sneer, trying his best to return to his usual calmness. Although he knew that his identity had been revealed, he could not admit it so easily, because that would be tantamount to admitting the other crimes he had committed. "I don't know who you're talking about vultures, I think you're looking for the wrong person."

"Really? Then why did you act so surprised when you heard the name just now? ”

"I'm kidding you, can't I?" Yuan Liwen leaned back on the seat and tried not to look at Zhong Xin's lethal eyes when he spoke, only in this way could he feel a little more at ease.

"It's okay, I know it's not easy to get you to confess all at once, so you better listen to me first." To deal with an old slippery head like Yuan Liwen, Zhong Xin has long been mentally prepared to fight a protracted war. Although he is not sure whether the children sold by Yuan Liwen are related to the experimental project of the organization, he only has this clue in his hand, and if he wants to find the remnants of the organization, he can only try to find a breakthrough from the vulture.

"First of all, I don't go to great lengths to find you in order to sin against you, and you have nothing to worry about that; Secondly, the tasks I carry out are highly confidential, as long as you are willing to cooperate with our investigation and provide us with valuable clues, we can deal with the crimes you have committed at our discretion, and even write them off. ”

"Hmph, you don't come with me like this." Yuan Liwen pursed his lips disdainfully, and he was angry when he remembered the process of being arrested. "Lao Tzu is now in prison, and he was tricked in by your police. Your routine is too deep for me to resist. ”

"I don't have any tricks here." Zhong Xin continued to explain patiently, "I just want to ask you about a person's situation. In 2014, as an intermediary, you sold a batch of abducted children to a regular client, and if you tell me the information about that person, I can ask the leader to reduce your sentence as appropriate. Aren't you going to think about such tempting conditions? ”
