Volume 2 The Warmth and Cold of the World Chapter 13 A Fairy Tale Town
When Pipi Shrimp and Niu Tou were engaged in the "express incense" business, Concubine Lan received a private message from King Yama of the Fifth Main Hall of the Underworld, asking her to send Ermao to quickly support the patrol team of the Fifth Main Hall who were on a mission in the world.
Ermao rushed to the place of the incident as soon as he received the news from Concubine Lan, a fairy tale town located on the border.
The fairy tale town is not small, although the name is a small town, but it covers an area larger than the average county seat.
It was originally a backward and impoverished town, and the original residents all dragged their families to work in other big cities, and the whole town was deserted, and there was no one in it.
Later, a very wealthy business tycoon bought the whole place and expanded it outward, investing heavily to create a beautiful and elegant Nordic-style fairy tale town.
There are many attractions in the fairy tale town, such as the bell tower, the fairy tale forest, the dream garden, the ancient church, Alice's wonderland, etc., which attract countless teenagers and children from all over the world to come and play.
Ermao arrived here in a very short time, and the scene in front of him shocked him!
——
Rewind the clock to 3 days ago.
The story begins at the beginning.
Zhu Gan, nicknamed "Bamboo Pole", was originally a senior instructor of the national special forces, and his superb kung fu and superb marksmanship made him highly respected in the special forces.
Unfortunately, at the age of 30, he had to quit the special forces in order to protect a child who accidentally appeared at the scene during an emergency rescue.
The leaders of the unit knew that he wanted to be strong, so they transferred him to the criminal police brigade of the city bureau as a deputy captain, and his salary and social welfare were also good.
One day, Zhu Gan led a team to track down a case of child robbery in a downtown area, and finally succeeded in rescuing the child, and captured a suspect with very good kung fu at the scene of the arrest.
With the skills of the instructors of the Zhugan special forces, they were almost injured by the other party, and the ferocity of the other party can be imagined.
As soon as Zhu Gan went to work the next morning, he was about to interrogate the suspect, but was told by the leader that the other party had been released on bail.
"Why was he allowed to bail? We haven't interrogated him yet, so who can guarantee that he won't be the main culprit? I arrested the people, why didn't anyone notify me in advance? ”
Zhu Gan was almost mad, that person was obviously related to the case, even if he was not the main culprit, he was also an accomplice, and he definitely couldn't escape the relationship.
But the leader actually let the other party go so easily, how could he not be angry.
"It's useless for you to yell at me about this, I didn't order the person to be released, his lawyer personally came to bail, and the mayor personally called me to order me to release him, what can I do?"
The director of the city bureau was also angry, but his immediate superiors personally called him to order him to release him, what could he do?
Don't let go? Then he, the director of the city bureau, is estimated to have done it.
"Well, if you can let him go once, I'll catch him once! I don't believe I can't find proof! ”
Zhu Gan left in a hurry.
On the same day, Zhu Gan used the Skynet system and the suspect's photo to successfully track down the suspect and follow him to the fairy tale town more than 100 kilometers away.
Unfortunately, the unexpected came again.
As soon as Zhu Gan followed the suspect into the fairy tale town, his mobile phone rang, and the suspect in front of him suddenly realized that he quickly used the crowd to get out of Zhu Gan's sight by taking advantage of the moment when Zhu Gan was stunned.
Zhu Gan was remorseful, he carelessly forgot to vibrate the phone, he could only reluctantly answer the phone first, and the other party was actually the mayor:
"Zhu Gan, who asked you to use the Skynet system to track others privately? Who gives you the power? ”
"Lord Mayor, the other party is a suspect, why can't I track him with the Sky Eye system?"
Zhu Gan didn't understand why the mayor had to shield that suspect, and Zhu Gan could understand this problem no matter how stupid he was.
"He's been released on bail, don't you know? Who gives you the authority to track down a legal citizen privately? I now announce that you have been suspended for review, please go back to the city bureau immediately to report! ”
After the mayor finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
"What the hell is this?"
The other party obviously has a problem, but the mayor has repeatedly blocked himself from investigating him, and he will not believe it if he wants to say that the mayor has no problem with him.
It's a pity that Zhu Gan has now lost the trace of the suspect, and he can only go home indignantly.
Zhu Gan was suspended, suspended indefinitely, Zhu Gan didn't know why the bureau arranged it like this, and no one from the bureau leaders came out to explain this matter, but he knew that this matter must have something to do with two people.
One is the suspect, and the other is the mayor.
Zhu Gan was very unwilling, and he decided to rely on his own strength to continue to investigate the matter.
In the six months since Zhu Gan transferred to the criminal police team, the bureau has received too many cases involving missing children, but the bureau does not attach much importance to such cases, and has always focused on sweeping away gangsters and investigating major criminal cases, which makes Zhu Gan unable to understand.
Isn't that the poor missing children so unimportant?
How do you let parents who have lost their children live?
Zhu Gan remembered that the father of a missing child on the Internet had been looking for 20 years but could not find the child, and before he died of illness, he once posted:
"I just want to ask the agency, any vehicle violation, Tianyan and Skynet can take a picture of him clearly, even when driving a middle finger, you can clearly take a fingerprint and compare it for punishment, so why did a van rob a child and then run away, but you have no way, either under the pretext of a power outage, or under the pretext that the camera is broken, do you believe it yourself?"
More than tens of thousands of children go missing every year across the country, but very few are successfully rescued, and the case detection rate is not even 5%.
If there is no protective umbrella with huge energy behind this, and there is no industrial chain that is deeply hidden, will you believe it?
Whether you believe it or not, anyway, Zhu Gan believes it or not, and he doesn't believe it if he kills him.
In order to make his conscience a little better, in order to make a little contribution to the poor children who disappeared, Zhu Gan simply quit his job as a criminal policeman, came to the fairy tale town alone, rented a small store near the last place where the suspect disappeared, renovated it a little, made a grocery store, and carefully disguised his appearance, and then patiently waited for the suspect to appear.
Gradually, Zhu Gan grew his long hair, and his beard didn't know how long he hadn't shaved, but he still guarded it patiently.
This is two years.
When Brother Long reappeared, Zhu Gan recognized him at a glance, even if he wore sunglasses and changed his hairstyle, Zhu Gan was still very sure that he would never recognize the wrong person.
For hundreds of days and nights, Zhu Gan didn't want to catch him as soon as possible, so even if Brother Long turned to ashes, Zhu Gan would be able to recognize him.
Zhu Gan quickly grabbed the two three-edged thorns under the counter and put them into his cuffs, and at the same time hid two daggers on his legs, and then pretended to be a wandering passerby and followed from a distance, as for the store, it didn't matter anymore.
The fairy tale town is crowded with people and lively, Brother Long seems to enjoy the atmosphere here, and on the way, he packed a cup of milk tea in Mixue Ice City and drank it while walking.
Zhu Gan followed patiently, not daring to be careless at all, in order to learn the lesson of the last time, he even threw his mobile phone directly in his grocery store.
Brother Long seemed to have made an appointment with someone, and he sat on a bench behind the fairy tale forest and looked at his watch from time to time.
Ten minutes later, two men wearing masks and caps sat down next to Brother Long at the same time, and the three began to communicate in a low voice.
How could that person's figure and eyes look so much like the mayor?
Although Zhu Gan was shocked, he was still mentally prepared, he guessed it two years ago, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, it was still a little hard to believe.
A dignified mayor actually secretly connected with a child abductor and trafficking suspect in private!
Who would believe this important thing if they didn't see it with their own eyes and say it directly?
Zhu Gan did not rush up to question the mayor recklessly, he had more important things to do.
After 5 minutes, the three of them ended the conversation, and the mayor left with a person with a masked face on the two sides, while Zhu Gan continued to follow Brother Long.
Brother Long was very cautious the next time, observing his surroundings from time to time, as if to confirm whether anyone was following.
Zhu Gan relied on his flexible skills to finally keep an eye on Brother Long, and followed him into the basement of an abandoned building on the edge of the town.
The basement has two floors, one is an abandoned parking lot, it feels deep, there is construction waste left everywhere, and the walls and ceilings are covered with large and small cobwebs, which have obviously been abandoned for a long time.
As for the second floor, if it weren't for tracking Brother Long, Zhu Gan would never have thought that there was a second floor in this basement.
Opening a dilapidated roller shutter door, removing a false wall, and following a stinking safe passage, Zhu Gan successfully infiltrated the second basement floor.
The second basement floor was just as large and empty, and there was a large room in the innermost part, which was brightly lit, and several people were walking back and forth.
"What kind of place is this TM, so hidden? What the hell are these people doing? ”
Zhu Gan cautiously touched the edge of the wall, and at the same time held the two three-edged thorns in his hands, and quickly stretched out his head to glance at one of the windows and immediately retracted it.
Just by looking at that, Zhu Gan's whole person was stupid, and he instantly became murderous again.
What did he see?
Several bloody children, like pigs slaughtered in a slaughterhouse, were hung on shelves, and their internal organs had been completely emptied.
There was a long workbench next to it, and a couple of people who looked like doctors were packing some live organs in portable quick-freeze suitcases.
"Holy shit, it turns out that the missing children have been sent here, and they are reselling live children's organs!"
