Chapter 8: The Boy in the Cardboard Box

readx;

The case took a turn for the better so quickly, and even Lan Jin was overjoyed, "Mayor Qiu, thank you very much for your support of our investigation work. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWithout your support, this case would not have turned around so quickly. The abducted child is now the key to solving the case, and he is either stranded in Dongfu or already on his way back to Binjiang. In either case, it is imperative to find him. We plan to immediately go to the Xiying Police Station to investigate the situation, you see......"

Mayor Qiu was thinking of something else: he smelled the newsworthiness of the story. The brave little heroes, the nationally renowned experts, the crime of child abduction and trafficking - these are all excellent news fodder without exception. This is of great benefit to the positive image of Dongfu City and to its own positive image.

"There is no hurry," Mayor Qiu said, "I plan to make a news feature on this matter, which will be of great benefit to deterring criminals and cracking down on child trafficking, and I also ask Teacher Lan Jin to cooperate with our work." ”

Speaking of which, Lan Jin can't say anything more. No matter how anxious Zeng Mengshu is like a monkey with a burning buttocks, now he can only wait for the reporters from the TV station to arrive.

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long, and about 15 minutes later, a reporter from Dongfu TV arrived -- Dongfu is one of the most economically developed areas in the country, and the efficiency of work is indeed different.

Just as Mayor Qiu was honking at the camera, Lan Jin and Zeng Mengshu were discussing who this clever child was.

Zeng Mengshu whispered: "I hope it's Su Chengrui, he is the child of a taxi driver, and he has more knowledge than ordinary children." And if it was him, my task would have been accomplished, and Master Su would definitely tell me how to get the palm prints on the car window. ”

Lan Jin couldn't wait to teach Zeng Mengshu the skills of his whole body: "I don't analyze him." Su Chengrui's mother dotes on him very much, and his personality is not so independent. Before coming here, both of them memorized the information of their five children, but in Zeng Mengshu's eyes, the useless information had a completely different interpretation in Lan Jin's eyes: "On the contrary, Su Mao is from Jinshui Town, and he has to walk for two hours every day to get to school to study, that's it, his grades are also very good." This child suffers a lot, is very independent, and is far more mature than his peers, so he can make a strict plan. At the same time, Su Mao's family is difficult, his self-esteem is strong, and he has no friends at school, so he has few words, and he is even more able to deceive traffickers. On the whole, I think it is more likely to be Su Mao. ”

Zeng Mengshu also studied psychology, but in front of Lan Jin, her psychological analysis can be said to be not worth mentioning. Seeing Zeng Mengshu's loss, Lan Jin kindly reminded: "Or, you can get a copy of the psychological analysis of those five children, and I will help you take a look." ”

Zeng Mengshu lowered his head and sniffled, "It's so fragrant, it looks like a roasted sweet potato!" "Raise your eyes and look around for sweet potato sellers.

In college, how many students dream of becoming Lan Jin's disciples, but she still doesn't agree. I didn't expect this Zeng Mengshu to have no interest in his criminal psychology, it seems that people's behavior is still difficult to predict. Lan Jin sighed and gave up his plan to teach Zeng Mengshu psychological analysis.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and they should not be forced.

On that side, the speeches of the mayor and various high-ranking officials were finally finished. Each leader made a bold statement and looked full of confidence. The group then drove to the Xiying Police Station, and the road was not far, but it was only a few minutes' drive.

mentioned the child who went to the police station three months ago to report the case, and the police officer who handled the case was very impressed: "That child was born to do criminal investigation!" That calm and calm energy is far better than many young police officers, which is really rare. While checking the information on the computer, he said: "But after all, he is also a child, you know, he took out ten dollars from under his shoes and begged me: 'Uncle, I will give you this money, you can take me home!'" "Children in the mountains may think that ten yuan is a lot of money. ”

Soon, a photo appeared on the computer screen, it was a simple-looking child, with copper-colored skin and a strong physique, and he knew at a glance that it was a rural child. Lan Jin's analysis is correct, this kid is Su Mao.

Zeng Mengshu was anxious, pointed to the computer screen and asked, "Where is he now?" ”

Because there was a camera shooting, the police officer's attitude was exceptionally good, and he didn't get angry, "Hehe! We sent him to the aid station, the child spoke clearly and was able to tell his home address, so he should have been sent home? ”

At this time, an official blurted out: "Hurry up to the aid station!" It's too late! Lan Jin took a serious look and vaguely remembered that this person was the director of the Dongfu Civil Affairs Bureau. The aid station is a subordinate unit of the Civil Affairs Bureau, could it be that this civil affairs bureau director has some unknown clues?

The group hurriedly got on the bus and went straight to the aid station.

The aid station is located on the outskirts of the city, and it looks like an ordinary farm yard, but a sign is planted at the door to indicate that it is a unit.

The mayor got out of the car first, only then did he get to the gate of the courtyard and immediately ordered loudly: "Stop shooting!" Cut out the shot I just shot! The TV host covered his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise:

On the loquat tree in the yard of the aid station, there was actually a shirtless teenager tethered. The boy was so dirty that he couldn't see his original color, and a chain of dogs was around his neck, and the other was tied to a tree. The boy crawled around on the ground, picking up some grass roots and stuffing them into his mouth.

There were about 30 people coming, and it was impossible for the aid station not to know about such a big movement, and a staff member immediately ran out. Mayor Youqiu often appears on TV, and the staff also recognize him: "Hello mayor! Hello leaders. He nodded as he spoke.

Mayor Qiu asked sternly, "Why did you tie people to trees?" ”

The staff member was unimpressed: "Hey! This man is a fool and it's fine. ”

With so many people watching, Mayor Qiu also had to maintain his image and endure not getting angry: "He has a problem with intelligence, but he is also a human, not an animal!" You can't treat him like an animal, understand? ”

The worker only knew that he was nodding his head and saying, "Yes, yes!" The leadership is right! Mayor Qiu couldn't help but shout: "Untie him for me!" ”

The staff was yelled at in a hurry, ran over to untie the chain, and led the shirtless boy to the back of the house like a cow, and then several clear slaps came from behind the memory, and at the same time the young man's muffled voice sounded: "Woo woo...... Don't hit, woo woo...... Don't fight. ”

Mayor Qiu blushed and said nothing.

At this time, another person was running and buttoning the button of his uniform, "The mayor is here, please come in, please come in!" ”

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he smelled a foul smell coming from the room, and Mayor Xun Qiu and his party almost vomited. When I looked into the room of the aid station, I saw that there were several beds inside, and the beds were covered with a moldy layer of sheets, and the holes in the sheets were exposed with hay, and the sides of the beds were covered with feces and urine.

The stationmaster of the aid station, Jiang, was also a little ashamed: "Those homeless people don't pay attention to hygiene, and it is useless for us to reason with them repeatedly." ”

Mayor Qiu asked, "What about Su Mao?" ”

Stationmaster Jiang asked strangely: "Su Mao? What Sumao? ”

Mayor Qiu said angrily: "It's the abducted child sent three months ago!" ”

Stationmaster Jiang became nervous, and his ten fingers twitched involuntarily, just like playing mahjong cards, "This and this-ah, I remember!" Everyone's eyes lit up, it turned out that Su Mao really didn't leave the aid station, and he would be able to see this little hero soon!

The TV host asked, "Is it time to start recording?" Mayor Qiu shook his head, he didn't want to put such an aid station on TV for the masses to see.

Stationmaster Jiang shouted to the back of the house: "Brother Zhang! Get that out-of-town doll out. ”

The staff member I saw earlier shouted, "Great! Then he took out a cardboard box of cigarettes.

Su Mao is eight years old, but his physique is stronger, older than the average ten-year-old child, how can he put it in a cardboard box of cigarettes?

Just when everyone thought that Stationmaster Jiang had made a mistake, the staff put the carton on the ground and lifted the lid of the carton.

Inside the cardboard box was the body of a skinny toddler, curled up with his hands and feet, wearing a red sweater and no pants. Judging from the size of the sweater, it should belong to the mentally handicapped teenager just now.

The corpse's thighs were as thin as arms, and its buttocks were pointed like an awl. But there are some features on the face, which can be recognized as Su Mao.

Lan Jin took out the rubber gloves and gently lifted the dirty red sweater. Under the sweater, the child's ribs can be counted, and what is even more shocking is that the child's abdomen and chest are densely covered with wounds, and a rough count shows that there are more than 50 wounds. These wounds are mainly lacerations from sharp objects, but also burns.

Lan Jin sighed, put down the red sweater, and gently held up the corpse's head, as if holding a precious porcelain. Suddenly, she made a move, stretched out her finger and pressed it on the top of the child's head, only to see that where her finger pressed, the child's head was sunken as if it was made of eraser.

Lan Jin silently put down the corpse and said softly, "This child was either starved to death or beaten to death by a heavy object. She raised her moist eyes and glared at Stationmaster Jiang angrily, "How can you be so cruel?" ”

Jiang Zhan shouted loudly: "Ouch, it's none of my business!" Yesterday the child suddenly went crazy and hit his head against the wall, and we immediately sent him to the hospital for treatment! This kid is sick himself, isn't it? He stared sternly at the staff at the aid station, who quickly said, "Yes, yes, it was a sick child." Stationmaster Jiang said confidently: "This child himself suffers from anorexia and refuses to eat well. So it's normal to be hungry like this. ”

Lan Jin sneered, "I want to ask, how can an eight-year-old child who is so hungry have so much strength to break his skull?" Let me ask you again, how do you explain these wounds on his body? I also want to ask for advice, this child has no problem with intelligence, can tell his home address, and has been sent for three months, why don't you send him home? ”

Stationmaster Jiang twisted his face: "I can't say anything about you, justice is in the hearts of the people!" ”

Mayor Qiu also asked in a deep voice: "Stationmaster Jiang, there is no shortage of you in your monthly salary, right?" ”

Stationmaster Jiang said with a face: "That's not true. ”

Mayor Qiu roared: "You tell me, you receive a salary of several thousand per month, and you still deduct dozens of catties of rice from this child, what are you trying to do?" ”

Stationmaster Jiang sighed and stopped explaining.

No one thought that Su Mao had escaped the traffickers, and he took what everyone thought was the right thing to do - call the police, but he didn't expect to die in the aid station.

Some details of this incident have never been clarified: 1. Su Mao is intellectually normal, why didn't the aid station send him home? 2. What did Su Mao experience in the past three months, from a healthy child to a dried corpse; 3. Just as Mayor Qiu asked Stationmaster Jiang: "What are your monthly salaries of several thousand, and you still deduct dozens of catties of rice from this child?" ”

Under the questioning of the media, half a year later, Stationmaster Jiang was dismissed, and the relevant responsible persons were also punished by administrative demerits, circulars of criticism, and so on.
