Chapter 385: The Hidden Orphanage (2)
With the fire turned off, I pushed open the last room, and when I saw the scene inside, I was stunned again, this should be where the children lived.
In the small room, the floor was covered with dirty and smelly bedding, and the smell in the room was strong, and if you looked closely, a urinal was placed in the corner of the room. When I came in, I counted the number of children, and there were a dozen or so of them, all of them crammed into the last cramped room.
There is not even a bed in the house, the bedding is very thin, the weather is getting colder and colder, if it is a harsh winter, the child must be very cold, and in the scorching heat, the child is all stuffed in such a small room, it is simply inhuman treatment.
Angry, I continued to run, and there was also an open space behind the orphanage house, and by the time I arrived, Jiang Jun and the others had already entered. Those women were stopped by Jiang Jun and Wen Ning, they were so panicked that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, I walked up to Jiang Jun and asked the women in a deep voice: "What have you done!" ”
Several women were crying earnestly, refusing to say anything, Wen Ning shouted angrily: "What are you crying about, if you don't say it, take you all back!" ”
Wen Ning was wearing a police uniform, and he was a representative of the corps sent to attend Dr. Liu's funeral, so he naturally had to wear a police uniform.
Several women looked at Wen Ning, their faces were even more frightened, and they counted carefully, there were five women in total. Wen Ning has already notified the police force to send out the police, these women are definitely problematic. The women refused to say anything, so we had to take them to the front of the compound, and the children stopped crying, and everyone was waiting for me.
Seeing Wen Ning, many older children were excited, or rather, they said that they were excited about Wen Ning's police uniform, which meant that they were going to be rescued.
Before waiting for the police to arrive, Wen Ning went to inspect the various rooms of the orphanage, and he walked in calmly and walked out with an angry face.
"Why abuse these children!" Wen Ning shouted angrily.
Seeing that the woman still didn't answer, Wen Ning couldn't control her emotions anymore, she grabbed a woman's collar and lifted her in her hands: "If you don't say it again, just wait for a lifetime in prison!" ”
Finally, the woman was frightened, they looked at each other, and finally, the woman who was lifted into Wen Ning's hand spoke. Wen Ning put her down, the woman coughed a few times, and said, "The children are not well-behaved, so we beat them." ”
"Fart!" Wen Ning laughed angrily: "If you don't obey, you give your child something like that?" I'll give you another chance, whether to say it or not! ”
Several women were thinking about it, in fact, they didn't say it, and I guessed a lot. This is not an orphanage at all, they take care of these children, I am afraid that they are sold to make a profit, and it is precisely because of this that they let the children eat those rotten things in order to reduce costs.
Liu Jia was also so angry with these women that she squatted in front of an older child and asked him what was going on, but the child didn't dare to say it at first. I recognized that this child was one of the first two children we saw, and the other child was standing next to him.
I asked them what was going on, and pointed to Wen Ning and told them that the bad guys were going to be caught. Seeing Wen Ning's neat police uniform, the child mustered up courage. It turned out that one of the children was about to leave the orphanage, everyone was tortured in the orphanage, everyone wanted to leave, and when they saw that others could go, everyone was naturally jealous, so we saw the scene of a child being pushed to the ground just now.
As soon as the child cried, everyone's emotions were stirred, and everyone cried at once when they thought of the days they had spent in the orphanage. The child lifted the clothes on his body, and saw that his bony arms were covered with bruises, redness, and swelling, and in addition to this, there were many wounds on the child's body, some of which were knife wounds and some of which were burns.
The children told us that every child here, especially the older ones, had thought about escaping, but they were so young that they would be found every time, so the women would whip them with leather whips, at first and then, in order to stop them from running away, they would cut them with knives and sprinkle salt on their wounds, and then the women would pour boiling water on them.
As soon as the child said this, many people immediately responded, and everyone lifted up their clothes and sleeves in unison. The injuries on the child's body can only be described as miserable.
In addition to the physical abuse, the women never fed their children. The women often didn't cook, and the children sometimes had to go hungry for two days in a row to get a bowl of sour and smelly rice, but despite this, it was a great boon to them. When the older boy talked about it, tears flowed down his eyes, and there were maggots in the food, which he didn't dare to eat at first, but then in order to survive, he had to swallow it with nausea.
After a long time, he was horribly accustomed to it. Many of the children recalled that they were abandoned or their parents died, and some children can still remember what happened before, while others have forgotten.
The child said, pointing to a pile of straw outside the clearing.
We followed the child's gaze, and the straw was stacked there very abruptly, and it was at this time that the police arrived. Wen Ning immediately ordered people to go and see what was under the straw. The straw was quickly removed, and I noticed the expressions of each child, their faces full of horror.
Beneath the straw was a soft patch of dirt, which had clearly been stirred. Everyone found tools and quickly shoveled away the soil, and the next scene shocked everyone: under the pit, there were several children's corpses, some of which were severely decomposed, and some of them could still be seen on their faces.
Several of the women were pale, and they were already in despair.
Police took away all the children in the orphanage and several women suspected of intentional homicide and child trafficking. When I returned to the main headquarters, it was already noon, and the police force bought food for each child, and everyone devoured it, and the child's pitiful appearance aroused everyone's sympathy.
And I followed Wen Ning to interrogate those women, and this time, those women no longer dared to take chances.
As I guessed, these women are the same gang of child traffickers, on the one hand, every once in a while, new children join the orphanage, and those children either have their parents dead or have been abandoned, and they trick the children into the orphanage, thus starting a long life of captivity.
They look in the market for someone to buy a child and sell it at the right price, and they make a profit from it.
And the dead children were not killed by their own hands, but they have nothing to do with them. In order to reduce costs and prevent the crime from being exposed, they will not ask a doctor at all, at most they will only buy some medicine for their children.
As a result, some children died of illness before they were sold, and in order to prevent others from finding out, they buried their children in the open space in front of the orphanage.
Although they have confessed and forgived forgiveness, everyone has no forgiveness for their behavior.
I didn't say anything until they confessed all the crimes. Wen Ning let all the others out, and I stared at the women and asked the question I wanted to ask the most.
"Do you know Du Lei?" I asked.
According to Wen Ning's investigation, Du Lei often went to the orphanage during the years when he was in the police academy, and at that time, the orphanage was still in the remote alley in City B, and had not been relocated to the suburbs. Several women have been in the orphanage for many years, and they naturally know Du Lei.
In the beginning, the orphanage had a female director in her seventies, and according to several women, the female director had a very good heart, and she herself had no children and no daughters, so she set up an orphanage to take in orphans. The orphanage was relocated from other provinces and cities to City B, and it was also from that time that several women entered the orphanage.
While the dean was still there, they were all doing good deeds with the dean.
About a few years ago, Du Lei began to appear in the orphanage very frequently, and that time happened to be Du Lei's second year in the police academy......
