Chapter 45: Human Traffickers
Lu Ming has been thinking and thinking. The next day, he woke up early. He didn't stay in the base for long, but left the base again and came to the city of Blue Lagoon.
During the morning rush hour, the streets are crowded with people. People rode trams and pedaled bicycles, and the pedestrians who accompanied the foot gathered in a large group.
When the red light comes on and the car stops, people waiting on both sides of the road rush up and flow through the street like a tidal wave.
No matter how turbulent the undercurrents beneath the surface are, nothing will appear on the surface. People are still living peacefully.
While strolling through a street corner, Lu Ming happened to see a girl who was about eighteen or nineteen years old.
The girl was dressed in very ordinary clothes, sneakers and jeans, her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, no powder, and her face was facing the sky.
It's not too pretty, but it's never ugly. The soles of her feet seem to be bouncing yellow, and she can't help but feel a little bouncing when she walks, exuding a youthful and energetic atmosphere.
When they met on the street, Lu Ming would not have paid any attention to strangers. But he inexplicably felt that the girl herself seemed to be somewhat familiar.
When the girl walked past him, Lu Ming carefully retrieved his memory, and then remembered that she was also a family member of a victim who was cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide.
The daughter of the deceased in family number 725. I have seen her photo in the profile. Lu Ming unconsciously stopped and began to follow behind her.
Among the training received in the operational area, there are also subjects related to tracking and counter-tracking. Lu Ming's stalking was not noticed by the girl, but made Lu Ming realize that someone seemed to be following him.
No, it's not stalking yourself, it's stalking the girl as well. Lu Ming observed carefully, and saw two young men with a hard and tall figure and a grim expression following behind the girl.
The two men moved neatly, and there was a faint bit of introverted explosiveness in the depths between their walks. It seems that as soon as something happens, they can immediately burst from ordinary passers-by to beasts.
After noticing that Lu Ming was looking at him, the two young men each nodded lightly to Lu Ming. It's a member of the Secret Service Squad.
They are stalking and protecting the teenage girl. Lu Ming put his mind at ease. But...... Wrong. It seems that someone else is following the girl.
Lu Ming observed carefully again, and after a while, he locked on two more targets. Those two targets are a man and a woman.
The man's body was thin and thin, with a shallow scar on his face, and his sight was full of ferocity. The woman's appearance was unremarkable, but under Lu Ming's careful observation, he could still detect a treacherous aura from the woman.
Lu Ming could determine in an instant that these two people were absolutely ill-intentioned. But with someone from the special service team following, the girl will be fine.
Lu Ming was so happy that he just watched the play in the back. Looking at the girl who was walking in front and didn't notice anything behind her, Lu Ming sighed secretly in his heart.
"The people who follow you can put together a table of mahjong, and you can be so happy. Sure enough, sometimes ignorance is also a blessing. "There is a breakfast shop in front.
The girl walked in, picked up cheap buns, gruel and the like, and sat down at the table and began to gobble up without regard for the image.
Lu Ming happened to be a little hungry, so he simply bought some food and sat next to her. Jingle Bell Bell Bell ...... The girl's phone rings.
She seems to be in a good mood right now. Connected the phone, her voice was full of joy: "Mom, I passed the interview and will go to work today." They give me 3,000 yuan a month! In these three months of summer vacation, I can save 6,000 yuan by saving a little money, and the tuition fee for the entire freshman year is enough! Lu Ming knew that the family conditions of the No. 725 family were not good.
After the victim, the girl's father, killed himself, the conditions were even worse. At present, the only source of income for the family is her mother.
Her mother doesn't have a serious job, she currently works as a cleaner in a restaurant, and in her spare time, she sells wholesale toys and other stalls.
This young girl has just graduated from high school this year and has been admitted to university with relatively good grades. Now it seems that she should have found a job as a summer worker.
On the phone, the girl's mother's voice was not very clear, but the love and concern in it were still overflowing.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't be too tired, I can also work and earn money when the university starts. The major I chose is very popular, I can get a job as soon as I graduate, I can earn a lot of money at that time, and when the time comes, I will take you over, and we will buy a small house, and we will never have to worry about being evicted by the landlord again. The girl was full of excitement and longing for a better life in the future.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, I'll hurry up to eat, I'm going to be late for a while." The girl finished eating in two bites and hurriedly walked out of the breakfast shop.
Lu Ming also followed out intentionally or unintentionally. As soon as he reached the door, he saw that the man and woman who were also following the girl were standing not far away and whispering something.
After a moment of deliberation, the woman, who was full of treacherous philistine air, seemed to have decided something, and walked towards the girl.
"Are you going to do it?" Lu Ming sneered in his heart, but did not make the slightest move. The two agents walked briskly, one towards the man and the other towards the woman.
The agent had the phone in his hand, and as he spoke, he pretended to accidentally hit the woman, knocking her down.
The woman sighed, and was just about to go crazy, when she saw the spy pretending to be full of surprise, and firmly locked her arm with two iron claw-like hands: "Oh, big sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oops, you see you've fallen and bled out, go to the hospital to have a look......" The spy couldn't help but pull her up and leave.
The woman was about to struggle, to shout, and the secret service whispered something in her ear, and the woman immediately became honest.
The other man was grabbed by the shoulders as if he was familiar by the secret services. Lu Ming clearly saw that the moment he grabbed his shoulder, a dagger had already been placed on his waist.
The man shuddered, and immediately became honest. The girl was unaware of all this, and hurried away.
Both agents went to arrest people, and the girl was temporarily unprotected. Lu Ming temporarily assumed the responsibility of covert protection.
After following for a while, Lu Ming observed that the two spies had gone and returned, and knew that the matter of the man and the woman had been dealt with, so he stopped tracking and protecting.
He beckoned to one of the agents. The agent immediately walked briskly, and the other agent continued to follow and protect him.
"What's the situation?"
"Report to the Marines, it's human traffickers."
"Human traffickers?" Lu Ming's mind immediately came to mind the tragic fate of the girls who were abducted and trafficked in the news report.
"Yes. The man and woman contacted the intermediary, intending to let the woman pretend to be pitiful and lead the girl to a remote place, and then the man took action, kidnapped him directly, and drove him to the intermediary to sell her. ”
"Intermediary? Didn't they all go to the mountains? Lu Ming was a little puzzled. The agent explained: "This kind of thing is rare now, and the mountains have long been connected to the Internet, and there is communication with the outside world, and they know that human trafficking is illegal." Besides, I have some money in my hands, so I don't usually do this. Now the popular situation is that some perverted rich people like to keep young boys and girls in captivity, and some people have started the business of intermediaries, and the man and woman we just arrested, kidnapping people, and selling them to intermediaries, and the intermediaries then sell them to those perverted rich people. Lu Ming felt a chill all over his body, and a wave of anger rushed straight up in his heart.
"This eucalyptus must be investigated deeply. I'll get in touch with your supervisor. Lu Ming has already made up his mind to dig up all the participants in this eucalyptus.
However, this eucalyptus Lu Ming will not check it himself. This kind of eucalyptus, which does not involve supernatural forces, can be investigated by conventional forces.
"Yes." The agents left and continued to follow and protect the girl. Although this eucalyptus is not directly related to himself, Lu Ming still feels a sense of crisis.
Doom is coming to family 725. If they don't stop it, once the two traffickers succeed, the tragic fate of the girl can be predicted.
And, her father, the victim who was cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide, could it be that because his daughter disappeared and could never be found, he finally chose to end his life in self-blame and grief?
And, this time, the trafficker kidnapping was detected in advance by the human traffickers, and the danger was nipped in the bud.
But basis
"Destined" speculation, I don't know what kind of danger will befall the girl in family 725 next.
Can you stop this time, but what about the second time? If you block it the second time, what about the third time? Even the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighty-nine times...... Recalling that in the breakfast shop before, when the girl was on the phone with her mother, she was full of joy because she had found a satisfactory summer job, and recalled her beautiful vision for the future, Lu Ming's heart was full of heaviness.
He still wandered around the Blue Lagoon, feeling the apparent peace and tranquility of life, observing the people coming and going.
He relaxed his spirit, no longer attached to the extremely complicated and extremely difficult eucalyptus, no longer thought hard, just casually toured like an ordinary tourist.
Ahead is a small park. Lu Ming walked past the roadside guardrail and sat down on a bench in the shade of a willow tree to take a short rest.
It's almost noon. It was a hot time and there was no one in the small park.
Even the nearby vendor who guarded a refrigerator and sold all kinds of cold drinks and ice cream looked listless and seemed to be about to fall asleep.
An electric tricycle buzzed along and stopped at the entrance to the park. The voice caught Lu Ming's attention.
He turned his head and saw an old man in his seventies sitting on top of a tricycle. There was also an old lady in her seventies, also in the body of the tricycle.
Both of them were dressed in shabby, but they were both very clean and tidy. It can be seen that although the two are poor, they pay great attention to hygiene.
The old man got out of the three wheels, poured out the water from a bottle of mineral water by the side of the flower bed next to him, flattened the bottle, and threw it into the body of the tricycle.
Lu Ming knew that a mineral water bottle could probably be sold for a few cents at the scrap yard.
It seemed that the summer was too hot, and the tricycle did not continue on its way, but stopped under the shade of a tree for a short rest.
The old man saw the cold drink stall next to him, thought about it, and said to the old lady: "Old woman, do you want to eat ice cream?" I'll buy you one? The old lady complained: "What are you spending that money for, a few yuan, enough to buy a day's food." The old man sighed with emotion: "It's been hard for you in the past few years." Xiaohui's debt, we almost paid it off, no debt, the future will be better, what is an ice cream, I will buy you if you want to eat roast goose. The old lady hesitated.
Maybe he remembered that the remaining debt was really not much, and finally gritted his teeth and decided: "Okay, then buy two." You are one and I am one. I always see young people eating it, and I, an old woman, will also try it today to see how delicious it is, so many young people like it. The old man got out of the tricycle, and took out of his trouser pocket, which was rolled into a roll, and bits and pieces, five or ten dollars, and so on, were rolled in the handkerchief.
He pulled out a ten-dollar one, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back in place, replacing it with a five-dollar one. When he came to the cold drink stand, he bought only one.
I went back and handed it to the old lady, and the old lady complained: "I always say that I am stingy, and you are stingier than me." The old man laughed and said, "I don't like to eat that." You just eat. ”
"You eat first, just give me some leftovers." The old lady couldn't resist it, so the old man had to reluctantly take a bite, and he was reluctant to swallow it in his mouth for a long time.
The old lady also took a bite, and a smile slowly spread on her face.
"When Xiaohui's debt is repaid, let's go back to our hometown. Grow some vegetables in your hometown, plant some wheat and corn, and you can always survive. In this city, there is a lot of money, but it is tiring to live. ”
"Okay. We'll be able to pay off the last debt next month, and we'll be gone. The old couple chatted about homely things and shared an ice cream, full of peace and tranquility.
Lu Ming didn't pay much attention to these two people at first. But after a while, it felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.
It wasn't until he saw two spies not far away who were constantly looking towards this side that Lu Ming reacted that these old couple turned out to be the family members of a victim of Wang Quan's curse.
Family No. 816. Family Victim 816 has been dead for almost seven years. According to the law, he committed suicide
The "reason" is very likely to appear in his parents. These are the two old men. Because they are close enough to each other.
And only the changes that occur in people who are close enough can cause the greatest psychological torture to the victim, and finally achieve the suicide of the victim
Results.
