Chapter 9: Lu Qiao 5

I ended up skipping Kansmina and going to Kyiv alone.

This is my first visit to this city, and I have only seen it several times in various international news pages and in reports of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime: this 1,500-year-old city is known as the "mother of the Rus' cities", and it is here that the civilization of Russia, Belarus and Kievan Rus' began.

Kyiv is the transport hub of Ukraine – there is an international airport in the eastern suburbs, direct river transport to the Black Sea, and an underground railway in the city. With its combination of land, sea and air dominance, combined with its extensive infrastructure, it should be a solid fulcrum for Eastern Europe's economy.

And the truth is that, in addition to the innate advantage in agriculture, it is also famous on the outside and on the inside.

There are three reasons for this: the proximity of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which had a serious leak; civil wars are frequent; The Russian mafia is rampant on its borders. In fact, this is also the reason for the sluggish economic growth of the whole Ukraine - there is no potential, but it has become a competition ground for others.

And Kyiv, as the capital of Ukraine, has the most direct manifestation of this.

As a result, it has become an important link in the underground industrial chain of Eastern Europe. Especially due to the shock of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the turbulent situation in Eastern Europe, Ukraine's state order has almost collapsed, full of barbaric whirlpools, and has become a paradise of jungleism.

This underground chain includes drug trafficking, gun smuggling, and human trafficking.

Human trafficking is rising rapidly with an uncontrollable trend and has become a major way to make huge profits.

Ukraine plays two roles in the delicate industrial chain of human trafficking, as a country of origin and a black market for transit.

Among them, Kiev is the capital, and its role is self-evident.

That's why, in Kansina's dictation, Mi'er used to be present in Kyiv.

Twelve-year-old Mi'er is still a child.

When Canmina was drunk, she once asked me with tears in her eyes, "Mi'er is still a child, and they actually did it to a child!" ”

Because of her identity tag, I didn't tell her at the time that children make up as much as 50 percent of human trafficking. The younger the girl, the more she can recycle.

"The world's two largest underground trades – drug and gun trafficking – are lucrative, but they can only be sold once and at a cost to produce, while women and girls can be sold to customers over and over again – don't you understand?"

A year ago, someone corrected me in a deep voice.

However, at that time, I was busy fighting for fame and fortune, and I felt that he was talking about a very serious matter, but it was too far away, and it could only be presented in numbers and pictures. At that time, I believed that these things were just anecdotes in the corners of the world for the vast majority of people. The day after I heard this, I won one of the most important awards in my career at that time. And then those words were put behind me.

Sitting on the train, listening to the overwhelming sound of the city outside the window, my mood is like a gambler who has lost his head and needs to rely on this one to turn the tables, the excitement and fear of stepping into the gold cave again.

I couldn't resist pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, the ash falling between my fingers, and the smoke gradually dispersed in front of my eyes. From this point of view, Kyiv is like a steamer that has just been uncovered, and it is full of popularity.

When it got dark, the street lights of the train station were lit up, and the sound of the arrival prompt sounded in the blurred day and night of a foreign country, like a crisp command to move forward at full speed.

Yes, sir.

I extinguished my cigarette butt and slowly walked out of the carriage with the crowd.

Kyiv, a city that stands tall in the midst of a booming economy and an underground economy, I am here.

The story in the night is far more exciting than the day.

I chose a hotel, a quiet place in the heart of the city.

Gorgeous, expensive, and offers all the pleasures you can find at an affordable price.

I didn't need to change my clothes as often in the winter, so I only carried a backpack with me with my personal belongings and two stacks of large cash.

After checking in, I didn't go back to my room, and went straight to the nightclub in the hotel. Nightclubs all over the world are alike, filled with colorful smoke and deafening ecstasy.

Someone was rolling marijuana in the corner, and the girl waiting on the side couldn't wait, staggering several times and reaching out to grab it, but was hugged by the man who was waiting for the opportunity.

I asked people to open a private room. When the waitress who was selling expensive foreign wine came in, I counted out a thousand euros and slapped them on the bar.

"Miss, what kind of wine do you want?" is a very good-looking boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, with eyes like water, and he is attractive.

"All I need is a fruit bowl, and the rest of the money is yours."

He raised an eyebrow and smiled with a silky smile.

"What do you need me to do?"

These boys all have their own price codes, worthy of beauty and flirtatious skills.

"Help me find the girl who offers special services in the hotel, just starting out in the industry." I spoke slowly word by word, casually reaching out and running through the hair behind my ear.

I hope to show off the size of my diamonds. Of course, it's a fake diamond, but fortunately, the room is dim, and it's easy to fool around.

He couldn't say whether it was disappointment or freshness, his expression no longer lingered, and changed his tone, "Do you want it?" ”

"Go find it, and bring it here in half an hour. Remember, I only need the youngest girl in the industry. ”

Half an hour later, two tall, bewitched girls stood in front of me. One is Yelena, who has beautiful facial features; One is the childish Eva. None of them should be under the age of 15.

I gave the money to the salesman in front of them, a thousand beatings, and their eyes blinked.

When the boy left, I lit myself a cigarette.

The smoke entered my lungs, and my voice was tinged with a sad hoarseness.

"My husband is a wealthy Russian man, and we met in China three months ago. I married him a month ago and went with him to Russia. ”

Elena smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes full of scrutiny.

I continued, "A week ago he said he was going to Kyiv to talk about business, and I didn't care at first, but two days ago I was told that he had chartered a chick on the street to go to the casino, and then the two of them were gone! I took a puff of my cigarette.

"My husband is not a regular person, but after all, he is my support for the rest of my life, so I have to find him. I am in China, and I have my younger brothers and sisters who have a large family to support me. Y-you guys, understand? ”

Elena sighed, "Ma'am, this is not a novelty. It's often played here. ”

I was secretly happy and relieved.

"If he sleeps in a five-star hotel, even if he doesn't have me in his arms, I'm not worried. The problem is, he disappeared with the chicks on the street...... I never thought he would have such a fetish......"

"How old is that girl?" Before I could finish speaking, Eva rushed to ask.

"Only 12 years old."

"A year younger than us." Eva sighed, then asked, "What's it called?" ”

"My husband's money, like his name, has expensive insurance. I can't tell you that. ”

"What about the girl, what's her name?" Elena took over.

"I don't know. By the time this matter reached my ears, it had blurred a lot of information. He didn't bring his assistant with him this time, so I don't know the details. ”

"And you," Eva said before Elena again, "there must be something we need to do, right?" She subconsciously bit her lip when she said "we", a word that didn't seem friendly to her.

I nodded pretending to be unconscious, and took out five thousand euros and placed them on the table. The eyes of the two little girls widened at once.

"I've inquired, and it's only five hundred euros for a decent private detective in this place to look into this kind of thing," my finger slowly swiped over the money on the table, "it's heavenly." ”

Seeing that they were silent, I changed my tone, "Of course, you must be worth a lot of money in and out of high-end hotels now." But little sisters, you haven't been around for a long time, so you shouldn't be able to get all the money...... Is there a third of the price code? ”
