Chapter 139: Pursuing Clues
Chen Hansheng and Kalanda came out of a villager's house, and Chen Hansheng said, "Basically, they can match." A house was built here a year ago, and the goods were brought over after the New Year. Then, when they got my news last night, they hurriedly withdrew. ”
"I didn't expect these people to be so cautious and run away overnight. ”
"Don't you run and wait for me to catch me?" Chen Hansheng snorted coldly, "That's what it's called cautious? Hmph, if you are really cautious, you won't ship it in a place like Suero." These bunnies are shallow-sighted, so they do this kind of thing. ”
"Guess who it is?"
Chen Hansheng pondered for a while and said: "That's not true, things in this world are very difficult to say, sometimes what is babbling may not be really unreliable, and what is muffled may not be secretly doing bad things." We still have to continue our investigation before we can draw conclusions. ”
"Why don't we go find that Cohen? Since you suspect that they are using slaves, you should start with the slave traders. Kalanda suggested.
"Clever, worthy of my Chen Hansheng's woman. ”

Ever since Xiao Chen put Cohen in the position of slave trader in the slave market, he has been the primary provider of labor for the school.
When Chen Hansheng's caravans came and went, he did not deal with him less. Basically, every time a caravan left, it took with it a batch of slaves that Cohen had prepared.
Even if the school needed a large number of slaves, he was reluctant to label himself a slave trader. So an agent like Cohen is still very necessary.
Cohen's camp was bought and rebuilt, and the house where he held slaves was a world away from other slave traders.
The slaves lived in a mouth-shaped tube building surrounded by a playground. The style of the houses in the new Hewan area is very similar, and the slaves are arranged to live in dormitories in groups of eight. Slaves with special skills were often assigned to more comfortable quadruple rooms. There are health clinics, schools, canteens, workshops, and even activity rooms and libraries. Although the slaves were not free to go out, the environment, food, and education were not an exaggeration to say that they were paradise compared to the other slave camps in Suero.
When the slaves arrived, they were first cleaned and then they had to learn to adapt to the collective life and learn the rules of behavior. Also learn to speak Chinese and read Chinese characters.
Most of the slaves are learning well. Much better than the residents directly employed by the school. Because in the slave camps, those who did not meet the teaching standards were eliminated and sold to other camps.
When most of the slaves arrived, they went through several journeys, passed through several hand-overs, and stayed in more than one slave camp. Most of them knew what it meant to be sent to other camps.
The first thing they feel when they come here is often disbelief, and then they have to do everything they can to stay. Study, work, and live here even better than most people lived before they became slaves. So these people cherish life here.
Therefore, the slaves are now sent to Montenegro after receiving their initial education in the camp and being able to communicate in Chinese. The educational effect and learning cost here are much stronger than in school camps.
Every time Chen Hansheng walked here, he didn't feel like he was walking in a slave camp, but in a boarding school. But the fact is that the way of management here is actually a strengthened version of the school, which is far from the rules of ordinary people managing slaves.
The first person he wants to visit today is not Cohen, but Ding Lunquan, the head of the Chinese course here, and Ding Lunquan of the foreign affairs team. This tall boy has been working here for two months since the camp was established.
"Uncle Chen. According to my observations, everything is normal in the camp here. There were no disappearances or anomalous movements of slaves. Ding Lunquan listened to Chen Hansheng's question and replied seriously.
"And what about the people who go to other camps?
Ding Lunquan smiled, "The people here are much harder than the children I have taught as a tutor." They've been working hard to learn. It doesn't count as serious classes, and I also form my own study group in the evening. If they have nothing to do, they still grind me to open a small stove for them. If we had been studying like this since we were young in our world, I think half of them would be admitted to our school. Of the people who have been driven away, I have only met three so far. One is to grudge and hurt people, the other is to bully women, and the other is to have brain problems and go crazy. There can be no mass loss of slaves as you are talking about. ”
Chen Hansheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy for you." ”
"Don't say it, Uncle Chen. I feel good here. How to put it, it is really rewarding to help so many people learn knowledge and understand that there are still things in the world that they can pursue. To put it mildly, I opened a window into their world and let the sun shine into their hearts. It's a feeling that's hard to experience anywhere else. You don't know, a lot of them are actually very smart, and some of them are very beautiful. If it's in us, it may be a school bully, a school flower and something like that. But here, the original society did not give them a chance. But now I can give them that opportunity. ”
"It's very sincere. Chen Hansheng punched him and said, "But if you want me to say, watching the school flower is the main thing, right?"
The two men laughed.
"Alright, grow your flowers here. I'll come to you and ask, and I'll have to go to Cohen again. ”

Compared to the lavish style of the original Oaks family, Cohen's own house was modest, a small two-story house. Chen Hansheng and Kalanda met Cohen in a living room with only a sofa and a coffee table.
The only decoration in this room is a vase filled with small white flowers. Cohen, an emaciated middle-aged man, gave people a sense of compassion and solemnity against the backdrop of white flowers.
"Lord Chen. I know where I am. It was Lord Xiao who pushed me here. Without Montenegro's support, I wouldn't have been able to get around in this slave camp for a moment. Although I am a slave trader to the outside world, I do not dare to treat anyone who comes to the camp with the same attitude as a slave. I know how disgusted you adults are with slavery itself, and I can only do my job with care, take care of everyone, and prepare them for their new journey. According to Ding Lunquan's words, I am an operation station manager. How dare I do slave stealing?"
Cohen looked calm, and he continued: "Don't you think that if you really need slaves, you are asking for trouble from me, and if anyone wants to buy slaves secretly, any other camp here is more suitable than me, isn't it?"
Chen Hansheng nodded and said, "That's true." However, there are very few means I can understand about the other slave traders. ”
"If Lord Chen can trust me. Let me hear the news for you. Though...... I'm not gregarious here, but I still have some channels of my own. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news. ”
