Chapter 6 Tracking
This week, the family was already doing illegal things, and the bride kicked the groom Xiao Zhou badly, first, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, this matter is embarrassed to say it, and the groom will not be able to be a man in the village after saying it; The second is that the Zhou family can't sue the bride, otherwise this is self-defeating. The Zhou family has spent all the money to buy a daughter-in-law, how can they have the money to operate on Xiao Zhou now? Old man Zhou was so angry that he wanted to beat the bride violently, but after all, he was weak and didn't torture the bride.
Uncle Zhou smoked a cigarette, frowned, and discussed with Aunt Zhou: "What a retribution!" I think it's better to sell this girl again, and sell it for money so that my son can be treated. The son doesn't seem to have the blessing to marry her, and after being cured, Ming Media is marrying a good daughter-in-law who doesn't think my family is poor! ”
"Old man, I originally told you not to buy people, it's a big deal that my son will be a bachelor for the rest of his life, at least our old couple will have someone to send us to the end. I can't do things that hurt heaven and reason, and now I have tasted the bitter fruit! In my opinion, put this girl back! Aunt Zhou said.
"The child is in urgent need of money in the hospital! The relatives are poor and can't borrow money! Sell her and treat the child first! Uncle Zhou said.
"O iniquity! What abominable thing did I do in my last life, and I was tortured like this in this life? Aunt Zhou cried.
Hu Kehao heard Old Man Zhou talking on the phone outside the wall, and listened to the tone of discussing with the trafficker and asking the trafficker to contact another buyer. "This female doll looks good, and now she is still a complete person who has not broken her body! If you contact another company, the bid must be high! Old man Zhou said.
Hu Kehao thought to himself: Since she still has to sell this new daughter-in-law at a high price, then her current situation should be relatively safe. Hu Kehao is ready to leave the Zhou family and take the next step.
Hu Kehao found Li Tianbang and told him what he had seen and heard. Li Tianbang couldn't help but scold this brute and scolded the traffickers as well. It's late now, and this magpie village is more than 30 kilometers away from Huaishu Village, and it is unlikely that you will rush home. Fortunately, it was summer, and the night was not cold, so they found a random place to live in the wilderness.
At dawn the next day, Hu Kehao and Li Tianbang found the Magpie Village Committee. Most people in Magpie Village have the surname Zhou, and many of them are still related to each other, and there are also a small number of foreign surnames. The secretary of the village party committee is named Tang Xiaorong, and Hu Kehao reported to Tang Xiaorong about the old man Zhou's strong purchase of a daughter-in-law. Tang Xiaorong said: "Are you talking about Zhou Chuanzong Zhou Li's father and son? This is a poor household in our village. Their family has been on a blind date with a local girl for several years, but none of the local girls look down on his family. A few days ago, I heard that their family had found a daughter-in-law from another place, and they were going to have a wedding wine in the next two days. ”
"The brides are daughters-in-law from other places, but they are bought from human traffickers! I heard that they are going to change hands and buy them again, as the secretary of the village party committee, you must stop them! This poor girl must be rescued! Hu Kehao said.
"Don't worry, I'll stabilize them first. Go and call the police, let the police rescue them, and let the police punish these hateful traffickers! Tang Xiaorong said.
Without further ado, when he came out of the village committee, Hu Kehao called the police. Two hours later, two policemen from the Calamus Township Police Station came to Magpie Village, one fat and one thin, and went straight to Zhou Chuanzong's house. The door of Zhou Chuanzong's house was closed, and the police asked the neighbor, who said: "The child of the Zhou family has a disease and is being treated in the township hospital." I also heard that the medical level of the township hospital was not high and the medical facilities were incomplete, so I was transferred to the county hospital again, and the Zhou family may have gone to the county. ”
Hu Kehao told the police that the bride was locked in the firewood room last night. The police came to the firewood room, found a woodcutter, and split the firewood door, but there was nothing in the firewood room. The police searched the firewood room carefully and saw a suspicious mess of straw, which seemed to have been slept on. The police found a few long hairs from the straw pile, and it seems that Hu Kehao should not be lying, and it should be the bride who sleeps on the straw.
"It's not good, it should be the Zhou family who transferred the bride." Said the skinny policeman.
Hu Kehao thought of the secretary of the village party committee, who not only did not stabilize the Zhou family, but also may have reported that the Zhou family had hidden the bride. The police couldn't find the bride, and for the Zhou family, this was death without proof, and they could not admit it at all. The two policemen at this police station are in a dilemma, if they continue to look for the bride, where will they go in the vast sea of people? In addition, the funds of the police station are insufficient, and sometimes the police need to pay for their own expenses, and they cannot report the bills. If you don't go to find the bride, there are obviously some clues, and stopping the case will harm the girl's life. For the police in Calamus Township, they are not very active in handling cases, especially for these bride buying and selling things. Because Calamus Township is very poor and has a large proportion of singles, it is not good to have more singles, and the township leaders are very worried about this matter. Township leaders often call on the young people of school age in the township to go out boldly, not only to find a daughter-in-law in the local area, but also to have the courage to bring in daughters-in-law from other places. In such a climate, it is inevitable that some villages will collude with human traffickers. The police station resolutely resisted and cracked down on this phenomenon, and later gradually became numb to such cases. In the case of stolen goods, if it is indeed proved that the bride was sold from other places, the police can rescue the bride. If the bride is transferred and hidden, these police officers are not willing to pursue it too much, because they also have to consider the marriage rate of school-age young people in the township.
"Well, we've filed a case. Go back first, and we'll tell you when we have news. As enthusiastic people from other places, you are still concerned about the affairs of this village, thank you! The fat cop said.
Hu Kehao felt lost and cold in his heart. These two policemen arrived at the scene of the crime within two hours, which can be described as inactive. However, what can we do if the people are gone, and they don't actively seek and do nothing? Time is life, and time will affect the happiness of that girl's life!
Hu Kehao and Li Tianbang, fearing reprisals from the villagers, walked out of Magpie Village with two policemen. The police rushed back to the police station on motorcycles. Hu Kehao didn't rescue the bride, he was very anxious, and said to Li Tianbang: "Maybe the police at the police station are more than willing but not enough, or they may be short of funds, maybe they can't think of it." Let's call the police to the county! ”
"The county seat is far away from here, and the mountain roads are rugged, so it's not easy to rescue that girl." Li Tianbang said.
Hu Kehao was about to make a call, when suddenly a tall and thin man came. Based on the route he walked, Hu Kehao judged that he was from Magpie Village. Isn't it the people of Magpie Village who rushed to take revenge? Hu Kehao felt a hint of panic.
"I'm He Shujun, I just graduated from college, and I'm a village official assigned here." The tall and thin man introduced himself. He Shujun told Hu Kehao what happened: After Tang Xiaorong, secretary of the village party committee, received Hu Kehao's report, he first used good words to stabilize Hu Kehao. Then he called Zhou Chuanzong, saying that his family's purchase of a daughter-in-law had been reported, and asked him to get rid of people quickly and find a place to hide. At that time, He Shujun heard Secretary Tang's speech next door, and he was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he didn't dare to make a noise. Later, under the pretext of going to visit the villagers' homes, he secretly followed and observed Zhou Chuanzong.
More than an hour ago, Zhou Chuanzong used a wheelbarrow to push out a large basket, which was covered with cloth, and the basket kept shaking. When someone asked him on the way, he said that the old sow in the family had given birth to her cubs and was now going to the market to sell her cubs. The wheelbarrow pushed the basket onto the dirt road, and a van came and carried the bamboo basket away. According to He Shujun's inference, the basket should be filled with the bride. He Shujun couldn't fight them alone, so he wrote down the license plate number of the van and the route he walked.
Hu Kehao continued to chat with He Shujun and learned that He Shujun also graduated from U University, and they were still alumni. According to the news brought by He Shujun, Hu Kehao was thinking hard about countermeasures. This week, Chuanzong is going to sell girls again, and the other party must have a gang, and Hu Kehao and Li Tianbang are definitely not the opponents of human traffickers. Hu Kehao immediately called the police in the county, and then continued to follow the traffickers with Li Tianbang.
According to the direction pointed by He Shujun, the van should go to Maojiagou. This Maojiagou is the maiden home of Zhou Chuanzong's wife. In the past, He Shujun came to visit Zhou Chuanzong's house, and when he met Zhou Chuanzong's family for a treat, Maojiagou came to his relatives, so he drove this van. Maojiagou is ten kilometers away from Magpie Village, and Hu Kehao called another motorcycle and drove him and Li Tianbang to Maojiagou.
