In the early morning of May 12, 2016, just after dawn, a black Audi with a deck plate drove through a small intersection near the R Municipal Public Security Bureau and sped away after leaving an unconscious man on the side of the road.

The man's left hand was wrapped in a ball of blood-soaked gauze, and his clothes were stained with blood, which at first glance looked like a corpse.

Occasionally, an early riser passed by, glanced at the side of the road and walked away in fright, and an old lady who went out for morning exercise was almost scared out of a heart attack. Finally, a bold senior in high school stepped forward to check on the man's injuries and called the police and emergency services.

A few minutes later, two police officers from the police station were the first to arrive at the scene. The high school student was in a hurry to go to school, so he hurriedly explained a few words and left with his schoolbag on his back.

While waiting, the police carefully checked the man's condition. Although the man fell into a coma, his pulse was stable and he did not appear to be in danger of life. Based on the injuries on the man's body and the obvious traces of his hands and feet being tied, the police speculated that this was most likely a case of vicious revenge, but unfortunately they did not find any identity documents on the man's body.

The pedestrians on the road gathered more and more, and soon a small encirclement was formed, and even the old lady who had almost been frightened just now stood aside and watched the excitement with interest.

Summer time passes through this path every morning for work, and today is no exception. Seeing a police car parked on the side of the road, and more than a dozen onlookers standing nearby, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He parked his car behind the police car, hurriedly pushed aside the busy pedestrians, came to the two policemen, and asked while taking out his ID: "Hello, I am from the criminal police detachment of the city bureau, what is the situation here?" As soon as the words fell, Xia Shi's eyes caught a glimpse of the injured man lying on the side of the road.

At first glance, Xia Shi didn't recognize who the man was at all, and he didn't expect to see that person in such a situation. But when he looked closer, he instantly gasped, and felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

"That's the ......" One of the policemen was about to explain, but Xia Shi pushed him away, rushed to the injured man's side like crazy, and shouted: "Gu Song, you wake me up!" What the is going on? ”

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. The two policemen hurriedly ran over to pull away Xia Shi and asked urgently, "Do you know him?" Xia Shi nodded, tried his best to control all kinds of complicated emotions, and slowly spit out two words, "Know." ”

It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Gu Song woke up groggily. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a long-lost friend lying on his bedside, dozing quietly.

Gu Song moved his body with difficulty, and felt that there was no place in his body that did not hurt, but the most painful thing was the left hand that had his nails pulled out. He suddenly remembered what Shen Hang had done to him in that dimly lit basement, and his stomach began to twitch violently again. He retched a few times, turned his head to see the glass of water at the head of the bed, grabbed it and took a few sips, choking on a heart-rending cough.

Yao Jiangyue was instantly frightened awake. She exclaimed, quickly got up and grabbed the water glass, patted Gu Song's back, and blamed angrily: "Why do you suddenly look like a corpse?" No one is robbing you, you should drink slowly! ”

"I'm sorry, Doctor Yao, I'm causing you trouble again......" After a moment of relief, Gu Song sat weakly on the head of the bed and smiled apologetically at Yao Jiangyue.

The pale and haggard smiling face made Yao Jiangyue feel a tingle in her heart. She sat back on the chair beside the bed, sighed heavily, and said, "Officer Gu, what are you going to do again?" Why do you always make yourself look like this? I've known you for so long, and it seems that every time I see you, it's because you're injured and hospitalized. ”

"It was because of my injuries that I was hospitalized that I had the privilege of meeting you, a beautiful and charming female doctor. What is it that allows you to put down your busy work and stay by the bedside and wait for me to wake up, suffering a little flesh and skin? ”

"Okay, when is this coming, you still have a poor mind." Yao Jiangyue punched Gu Song's arm with a smile, then looked at his injured finger and asked worriedly, "Can you tell me how the injury on your hand came about?" ”

"This......" Gu Song gently moved his left hand, which was bandaged like a steamed bun, and said in a non-compliant manner, "I think this should be regarded as a work injury." If I turn around and end up with a disability or something, the leaders will definitely be responsible for me......"

"Officer Gu!" Yao Jiangyue frowned dissatisfied, "Don't divert the topic, let me ask you how you got the injuries on your body?" You've been detained and brutally tortured before, and I just want to know ......"

"I'm sorry......" Gu Song put away the smile on his face, and his tone suddenly became serious. This is my task, I can't tell you, I hope you understand. Can you please help me find someone to come over now? ”

Half an hour later, Summer Shi pushed the door and walked into the ward. As soon as he saw Gu Song, he couldn't wait to start asking, "What did you kid do?" What the hell is going on? Who made you look like this? ”

"Let's not talk about it yet." Gu Song waved his hand impatiently, "You can now formalize the arrest plan." I've been told very reliably that all the problems are with the Valley of the Stars bar. Star Valley ostensibly serves as a legally operating bar, but in fact it is a gathering place for gang members of human traffickers. The bar is a secluded underground structure that is usually used as a warehouse, and occasionally for rallies or temporary detention of abductees. You can find evidence of criminal gangs abducting girls and babies there.

In addition, both Brother Yu and Mr. Z have a lot of criminal information in their hands. I can't guarantee whether Brother Yu will open up to the police, but Mr. Z should cooperate well with the police investigation. He is in contact with the connectors in the three provinces, and if he finds them, he can slowly find the whereabouts of the children. One more thing, and most importantly, is that Mr. Wen, the owner of the Star Valley Bar, is the boss behind the criminal gang.

"This person has been engaged in human trafficking since the end of 2014, and has grown from a small gang of a few people to today, forming a criminal group of hundreds of people. The specific crime will naturally be interrogated after you arrest him, and my work should be considered a successful end here. ”

After listening to Gu Song's narration, Xia Shi was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "What the hell is going on?" How did you find so much information overnight? ”

"Who said it was overnight, haven't I been doing this work lately?"

"But......" Seeing Gu Song's performance different from the past, Xia Shi always felt that something was strange. You say that Mr. Wen is the big boss of the trafficker gang, but what about Miss M? What about the mysterious woman who approached you in the bar? ”

"Didn't I say it a long time ago, Miss M can't be the real mastermind. How could a weak woman like her control such a huge criminal syndicate? There must be a very powerful man behind her who is secretly manipulating everything, this person is the bar owner, Mr. Wen! ”

"You, are you sure?" Xia Shi sat on the edge of Gu Song's hospital bed, staring at his eyes tightly for a long time, as if he wanted to see him through. "Where did you get this news?"

"From Miss M, of course." Gu Song smiled proudly and said, "That woman had a crush on me when she first saw me, so it's not surprising that I can find out this news from her." ”

"Okay, even if you're full of flirting skills, how do you explain what happened last night?" Xia Shi said and grabbed Gu Song's wrist, looked at him with an aggressive gaze and said, "Where did you go after you disappeared for a night?" Why is your phone being thrown in the trash bin near the bar? Who tied you up and beat you up? And who made your hands look like this? If your identity is not revealed, how can they torture you like this? The other question on the other side is, if your identity is revealed, how can they possibly let you come back alive and bring back so much information? ”

"You let go of me!" Gu Song shook off Xia Shi's hand in disgust, and there was a sharp pain in his fingertips. He gritted his teeth and said to Xia Shi resolutely, "I am the one who went undercover into the criminal organization, you will never understand what I have experienced, and you don't need to ask in such detail." You just need to take care of the finishing touches, and I don't want to talk about anything else. ”

"No, no, it's not that simple." Xia Shi saw that Gu Song's face was getting paler and paler, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead from time to time, but he still refused to let him go. "I now have serious doubts about the veracity of your information. You were tied up by them, and they let you go, and you wouldn't tell me what happened. Gu Song, are you ...... with them" Xia Shi clenched his fists angrily and slammed them on the bed, stunned and didn't say the words "collusive".

"Don't you believe me?" Gu Song looked at Xia Shi with some despair, and said in a trembling voice, "I didn't lie to you, Mr. Wen is indeed their boss. When you catch him, he will confess, and this matter will be over soon......"

"That means ......" Xia Shi took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm himself down, "This matter has nothing to do with Shen Hang at all, was your initial speculation wrong?" ”

"Yes, I was wrong...... Gu Song laughed miserably and said, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and my biggest mistake is that I shouldn't ......" He didn't continue. Even though he didn't want Xia Shi to see his vulnerability, two lines of sad tears flowed uncontrollably.
