◎Chapter 27: A Glimpse of Hell

Su Mei said: What father would post an advertisement to transfer his children to beg?

Professor Leung said: Obviously, this is someone else's child.

Bao Chu said: Buy two get one free, the advertisement for selling and transferring children is actually posted on the street, which is really terrifying.

Hualong said: If Ling Chi needs to keep it, those traffickers who have abducted children, crippled and used for begging are definitely worthy of this torture.

The bag chopped off the advertising on the telephone pole and carefully stored it. The city bureau is not too far, everyone walked to it, and saw many beggars along the way. In front of a supermarket, a dirty little boy hugged the thighs of the dragon.

The painting dragon said to the old woman: Auntie, come and see if this is your little grandson.

The little boy pitifully reached out and begged for change.

The old woman looked at it, shook her head, and placed a bag of potato chips in the child's outstretched palm.

A woman hiding in the shadows came up with a panicked look, picked up the child, and hurried away.

Walking to an intersection, the four members of the special task force and the old woman noticed that every time there was a red light, a group of beggars flocked to ask for money from passing drivers, and among them there was a pregnant woman with unkempt hair and a baby on her back. She knocked on the window of the car with her dark, dirty fingers, pointed at the baby behind her, pointed at her mouth, screamed a few times, and then folded her hands and begged for money.

The beggar, apparently, was a mute pregnant woman.

However, when the pregnant woman saw a foreigner sitting in the car behind her, she ran over with agility and did not look like she was pregnant in the slightest. The mute woman poked her head into the car and spoke, still in English: "Hello! Money！ (Hey, money!) Her voice was a little hoarse, as if her throat was covered with dust, and she kept saying these two words. The foreign man in the car smiled slightly and handed her a hundred-dollar bill.

In previous cases, the local police requested the assistance of the special case team, but this time, the special case team asked for help from the local police.

The top leader of the city bureau received the special case team, and after listening to the intentions, the top leader said that he would vigorously cooperate. He transferred a luxury RV for the use of the special task force and booked five rooms in the agency's guest house. According to the survey, the number of homeless beggars sleeping on the streets of Yangcheng City is mainly in the central urban area, and a considerable number of them are elderly people. About 10% of them are suspected of being mentally ill and intellectually disabled, mainly concentrated in Lansha, Conghua, Zengcheng and other areas. Begging children are mainly concentrated in central urban areas such as Yuexiu, Liwan, and Tianhe, and more than half of the children also pick up garbage, and commercial districts, tourist attractions, and stations are their gathering places. There is also a beggar village in western Guangdong in Yangcheng, where beggars go out early and return late to work, and beg professionally.

The number one leader called a police officer, and he told the special case team that this pony was in charge of the security management of the beggar village, and he was also familiar with the shelter and rescue of vagrant beggar children, and he would assist the special case team in its work.

Drawing the dragon said angrily: Policeman, what do you mean? We came all the way, you will arrange such a goods for us?

The leader was embarrassed and said: Today is the 26th year of the New Year, and the police have to spend the Spring Festival, after all, they have been busy for a year, and many police officers are on vacation. Now we really can't mobilize more police forces, and we still have to maintain law and order during the Spring Festival and create a stable and peaceful environment for the people of the city. Cracking down on two robberies and one theft, firefighting, transportation, and security, all jobs are more important than finding a child.

Professor Leung expressed his understanding. A group of people suddenly appeared in front of the city bureau and unfurled banners in a noisy manner, this is a group of migrant workers asking for wages.

One hand closed the curtain and said, "See."

It's coming, the Spring Festival is approaching, there are too many things, you guys live first, and then talk about it after the New Year.

Pony is a man of five big and three thick, and he looks impatient with the work given to him by the city bureau. He drove the four members of the special case team and the old woman to the guest house of the city bureau, and along the way, he constantly scolded in the local dialect. Professor Liang decided not to live in the guest house, and the special case team lived directly in the beggar's village.

The film policeman pony muttered: You guys, the brain show is funny!

If you want to observe the abyss, you must jump into the abyss.

To understand the lives of beggars, you have to go deep into their dens.

There are many urban villages in Yangcheng, which are villages in the city, and all kinds of poverty are neighbors to each other. The urban village is a small society, not located on the periphery, just like the rotten sores and tumors of the city, with a large number of people and chaotic public security. According to statistics, 80% of public security crimes in Yangcheng were committed by outsiders, and 90% of these suspects lived in urban villages.

This is China's slums, dirty, dark, cramped, chaotic, and full of handshake and kissing buildings. Even at noon, there is no daylight, and between the two old buildings, a ray of sunlight is so luxurious.

This is the rivers and lakes, and in the urban village, it is not normal that it has not been stolen. In addition to theft, there are also rotten boys who specialize in extortion, and they charge protection money to shops. There are also two thriving professions in urban villages, one is a stall for underground gambling activities, and the other is a young lady who solicits customers on the street in a hair salon. In this kind of filth and filth, there are many gangs and gangs, such as theft, robbery, fraud, forced prostitution, human trafficking, gambling, black talk, counterfeit money, fake invoices, ...... It's happening every day.

The film policeman Pony found an old three-bedroom house in the beggar village as a temporary residence for the special case team. In an urban village, this is a very good house. Before leaving, Pony left his phone number, and the police station where he worked was not far away, and the RV was also parked in the police yard for safety reasons. The pony told the four members of the special case team not to talk to strangers and not to go out if they were fine.

The film policeman Pony said to the painting dragon: The gun you bring, you must put it away.

The dragon said: Brother, don't worry.

The film policeman Pony said: I never dare to devour with a gun, there are too many thieves here.

The furniture in the room is fully equipped with water and electricity, and a few lines of slogans are written on the cement wall outside the window: Don't defecate here, and the garbage taker will throw your mother. Underwear and underwear hung above the narrow hallway, water dripping on the heads of pedestrians, and the ground had been wet for years. The special case team cleaned up briefly, although they were a little depressed, but this dilapidated house gave them a sense of home.

Looking out the window, he remembered a lot of the past. He was familiar with the city, having infiltrated the Yangcheng drug trafficking organization, lectured thugs in the train station square, fought black market boxing, and lived in a haunted old building for a while. He remembered that the ivy of the building had grown wildly, and a green waterfall had been formed by climbing up to the power lines, and passers-by had to pluck the drooping branches with their hands.

Su Mei said: It seems that we are going to celebrate the New Year here.

The old woman said: This is much better than my house, at night, I give dumplings, this is not about the New Year, you have to eat dumplings.

Bao Chu said: After the Chinese New Year, the local police may not necessarily help to find it, they want us to retreat.

Professor Liang said: If we can't find even a child, what else do we call the special case team?

There are only four people in the special case team, plus an old woman, and there is a vast sea of people, where to find a child.

Hualong said: There is a person who may be able to help us.

Prof. Leung: Who?

The dragon said: Black skin, a friend on the underworld

Friend.

There are many gangsters in Yangcheng, and there are some underworld forces entrenched in the railway station and bus station, and after several large-scale fires, a man named Zou Guanglong became the boss of the gang. Heipi was originally a horse boy under Zou Guanglong, a black market boxing player, Hualong once had a black market boxing match with Heipi, and the two were comparable in kung fu and became close friends. After Zou Guanglong was arrested and imprisoned, the reputation of the black skin gradually grew, taking the place of the gang boss and controlling the passenger transportation industry in Yangcheng.

"If Black Picn helps and mobilizes the entire city of taxi drivers to find Little Egg, then there will be a lot of hope."

Su Mei said: It's really ironic, our police ask for help from the underworld?

Bao Chu said: The local police don't care.

Drawing the dragon said: Some policemen will beat if they want to, scold when they want to, and ask for money when they stretch out their hands, what is the difference between them and the underworld? I'll × and I'll just throw us here, the underworld still pays attention to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes!

Professor Liang decided to mobilize all social forces, and Drawing Dragon and Bao Slash went to Heipi for help, and Su Mei was responsible for contacting local volunteer associations and volunteer organizations. In 2007, a couple set up a "Baby Come Home" subnet, which specializes in helping trafficked, abandoned, lost, and homeless begging children return home. It is a social welfare organization that does not charge any fees, and soon established volunteer associations all over the country, and thousands of caring people have quietly contributed to help reunite 168 families.

The founder of the website, Zhang Baoyan, was named one of the top 10 people who moved China in 2009 and won the Ten Years Rule of Law Person Award.

We should remember this honorable name!

Su Mei contacted the local volunteer association in Yangcheng through Zhang Baoyan, and the president is a female college student who also lives in this beggar village. The special case team immediately invited her over, this female college student named Ah Duo, wearing a pair of myopic glasses, suffering from depression, silent, but extremely appealing, her volunteer association has developed into a large public welfare organization with 500 members.

Ah Duo asked the old woman: How many people do you need?

The old woman did not speak, and knelt down again.

Ah Duo said: Okay, 500 people, tomorrow I will mobilize all the volunteers to take to the streets.

Ah Duo's home is in this beggar village, and she has witnessed a lot of tragic scenes. A year ago, she came across a brutal case of child abuse, and since then, she has been working as a volunteer to pay attention to trafficked children. That day, the cat that Ah Duo was feeding ran to the balcony of the neighbor's house, and Ah Duo went to look for the cat and accidentally peeked into a hellish and terrifying scene.

There were five people in the neighborhood: an old beggar, a middle-aged woman, a long-haired young man, and two small children, who looked like a family. Both little children were crying and calling for their mother.

There was a woman standing next to her, crossed her waist and said, "I am your mother."

The child cried and said, "You are not, you are not, I want my mother, I miss my mother."

The old beggar viciously squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: Cry again, I will drink your brain.

The long-haired young man dragged a small child over and pressed it to the ground with a rough movement.

The other child looked at him with frightened eyes.

The long-haired young man smiled slightly and said, "Turn around, don't look at it."

The child was so frightened that he covered his eyes with his hands.

The long-haired young man stepped on the joints of the child's arm on the ground with one foot, held his wrist, and broke it so hard that he heard only a click, and the child screamed in pain, and passed out, and he broke the child's arm violently.

The long-haired young man shook his hair casually and said, "Next."
