Criminal evidence

They were transported to Qingdong Guantianmen, which is the largest floating population distribution center in Wancheng City. A well-publicized place for criminal transactions.

This is a three-way area where the locals of Wancheng and the little overlord Lu Qinghe have never been to.

Especially when I heard the word "Qingdong" from other people's mouth, what appeared in my mind uncontrollably were all the countless negative information I heard from various places.

It is also said that in this place, walking from the streets to the alleys, you can be infected with AIDS and become addicted to drugs just by breathing the air.

Lu Qinghe even vaguely remembered a few years ago when he came to the Public Security Bureau to report a crime. A woman in her early twenties, holding her infant baby with a rare disease, just went from the countryside to the city to seek medical treatment. However, after staying near Guantianmen for about 5 minutes, all the money on his body was stolen by someone, which was a clean and tragic incident.

The truck stopped at 23 o'clock in the night. The red, white and blue plastic cloth inside the truck squirmed slightly twice, and a black figure swiftly flashed from the dark side of the truck into the trash bin on the other side of the wall. .

When Lu Qinghe jumped out of the car, his leg was knocked back in a hurry. Before he could make a sound, Shen Changyan roughly covered his mouth and nose, and then quickly dragged him into the back of the trash can at the entrance of the alley.

He touched something sticky with his fingers, and he almost retched due to the soaring stench.

"Hey, why did you bring these two trucks today?"

"Our director Liu said that this time I have to trouble you, we need to find a bigger place to hide these people first."

"Hidden? I don't hear this word very often here. What kind of trouble is your Director Liu encountering?"

"What trouble can there be? Isn't this just this afternoon when someone came to the door? Our director was afraid that these people would stare at the factory and find out something wrong, so we had to transfer these timed bombs first. Come out and ask if your place is safe?"

"You don't give me old Wu face if you ask this question. Looking at the whole Wancheng, except for the Public Security Bureau, he is the most secure place in our city. The police haven't come here for 80 or [-] years. Besides, even if I dare Let him come, they themselves are afraid of causing a fishy body."

"You can hide here."

The door latch of the truck was pulled open, and some women and children with their heads buried one after another got out of the car, and then they were led like a group of silent puppets, and followed obediently to the bright place in the alley.

The two sides of the conversation were behind the lights, making it difficult to see their appearance, but it was clearly visible that while they were talking, they lowered their heads and lit a cigarette with smoky smoke.

The tone of the conversations during this period was relaxed and at ease, without any respect and reverence for life and human rights. Instead, the words "goods" and "Tibetan" were used, as if they were talking about worthless pork and dog meat.

"By the way, how is your business here these days?"

By the way, the driver who "delivered" Shen Changyan and Lu Qinghe had a cigarette in his mouth. He leaned his back against the car and raised his hand to speak casually.

"The business can only be said to be passable. The goods you have supplied recently are not very good. I will tell you Director Liu when I go back. We want quality and not quantity. You are beautiful and obedient. That is better than anything else. As for these children Well, try to have boys and not girls. If you are over three years old, you won’t be able to sell them at a high price. It’s useless for a little girl to leave me here. You can’t sell them, and you can’t stand the trouble. The two perverts killed the two little girls last time. , The lost money is not enough for me to pay for the funeral.”

"This is what you need, and I will definitely bring it back to our Director Liu as it is."

"Then I will work hard for you today." The man with a big belly raised his hand and knocked on the side of the car and said, "I will pick these two cars first with the cheek, and the rest of the unqualified goods will be given a one-month deadline for you, Director Liu. Come back and pick up the returned goods.”

The driver said with a smile in his voice, "Why are you starting to return the goods? In the past, you can sell what you can sell, and you can't sell it. Don't you just keep it here? You can either do those men's services here, or cut off your arm. A one-legged child carrying a child out to beg for food, isn’t this a student who makes money?”

"Students who make money?" The man sneered, and he pointed to several brightly lit alleys behind him and said, "All the men who come here are new, and there are only a few of you who come and go. , there is no newcomer, who is willing to come to sleep? How about I let you go in and pick one now, do you want it? My brother is happy to give you free today."

"I won't." The man bared his teeth and smiled, then leaned over and said softly, "I think it's dirty."

"No, you think it's dirty, don't those rich and tasteful men think it's dirty even more? The people who come here are not rich people. How can I make any money? This is a loss. business."

Afterwards, the two continued to talk back and forth for a while, but the specific Lu Qinghe couldn't hear clearly, but before the man finished explaining and got into the car, the fat man with a cigarette in his mouth yelled at him.

"Don't forget, get more children to sell for money, especially boys under the age of three."

"Remember it, I'll go back and give a message to our director, and I'll be leaving today."

After the two trucks greeted people, they left with a "rumbling" roar.

Without the tall car body covering the light from the alley, the man who had just finished talking with people and regarded women and children as goods and trade finally revealed his true colors.

"Wu Chengzhou."

Just as Lu Qinghe made a sound in surprise, Shen Changyan behind him stretched out his hand to cover his mouth tightly, and at the same time dragged him to hide at least ten meters behind him.

The man surnamed Wu was still smoking. After watching the two trucks leave with narrowed smiling eyes, he seemed to be vaguely aware of the movement in the garbage alley beside him.

Only then did he turn around and take a look inside, when someone beside him immediately answered, "There are a lot of stray cats and dogs these days."

When the weather is hot, the food rots faster, and the smell around the garbage dump is smoky, not to mention the flies and mosquitoes all over the body, and it is normal to attract some wild cats and dogs that come here just because of the smell.

Compared with the last time I jumped into the cesspit, the feeling of climbing the garbage dump this time is not much better.

Especially in summer, people's clothes are thin, and the skin is sticky and smelly. Lu Qinghe, who used to be disgusted by the clean Shen Changyan, was caught in his arms by this guy and pressed for a long time. Haven't found anything wrong yet.

The time lasted from 23 o'clock in the middle of the night to 4 o'clock in the morning. The two of them dared not rest or close their eyes. And the noisy Qingdong Guantianmen, and then gradually quieted down as time passed.

The sky has turned pale, or maybe it's because he has been hiding in the dark for too long, so it seems that all the places he can see have adapted to the darkness.

Dumpster Alley is a dead end here, and there's nowhere else to escape than the way you came in.

Shen Changyan did not dare to take Lu Qinghe out hastily. On the one hand, he considered that he was not familiar with the surrounding terrain. Every half an hour, there will be tall men in the same clothes patrolling around here.

Lu Qinghe was squatted here by Shen Changyan for at least 5 to 6 hours. At this time, when someone grabbed his arms and stood up again, his legs and feet were so numb that he was about to lose consciousness.

"Shen Changyan, walk slowly, my feet are completely numb."

Not only are my feet numb, but my body is also stinky. I don't know if it's vomit or something more disgusting that my body is dirty.

During the hiding period, people came in from time to time for their own convenience.

Lu Qinghe didn't even have the energy to scold these people who defecate freely in his heart. The only thing he was grateful for was that these people turned their backs on him to solve one of the three urgent problems in his body.

"You stand here for a while, take it easy, I'll go out and see if there is anyone else outside."

Shen Changyan supported Lu Qinghe, took his hand and carefully pressed it against the wall in the alley.

The shoes I wear in summer are thin, and the soles are a little cracked. Black water stains and smelly water that melted after rotting, I don't know when these things got into the soles of my feet.

Lu Qinghe felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Shen Changyan made all preparations before leaving the alley, and Lu Qinghe even saw him take out the gun from his waist, and pulled the bolt of the gun as well.

There are almost no human figures coming and going around here.

The windows of the rooms where the red light is on for the skin/meat business have all been darkened.

Shen Changyan observed back and forth for about 10 minutes. After confirming that there was no one and no movement, he turned around to pick up Lu Qinghe.

"I've never been to Qingdong, and I'm not familiar with the roads here. When I looked ahead, I confirmed that the transportation around this village in the city is convenient and the view is wide. The road going out is also directly connected to the main transportation road, but the The fatal point is that if we are found by someone on the way to escape, it is likely to be a dead end."

Lu Qinghe gritted his teeth, "Can you tell me something to make me live?"

"There is a way to live, but it is very risky."

"What an adventure."

"I don't want to go out." Shen Changyan looked back at the alley, and he asked, "Do you dare to go in with me?"

"You want to go into the alley, why?"

"I have been observing since I hid in this alley last night. The time we landed was from 23:4 last night to [-]:[-] am today. Patrol and inspect the surrounding area at a fixed frequency."

"Do you suspect that there are dark lines that we can't see that are observing the movement around here?"

"Yes, and I've been very disturbed."

Lu Qinghe pursed his lips and said nothing, while Shen Changyan continued to analyze.

"According to the conversations of those people last night, it can be basically confirmed that this place is a huge criminal trading place. They may be women and children abducted and trafficked from all over the country. If they can be sold, they will be sold to the buyer. If they cannot be sold Solve it on the spot, including the suspicion of forcing women to engage in illegal and criminal acts, as well as selling and hurting children, cutting off their hands and feet, forcing them to beg, relying on sympathy for money, etc."

Having said that, Shen Changyan took a deep breath, and he repeated, "Lu Qinghe, in such a place, how lax do you think they are in guarding and observing the surrounding environment?"

When Lu Qinghe heard this, the fingers hanging by his side trembled slightly uncontrollably, "You come in first."

He took Shen Changyan's arm, and the two of them hid deeper into the trash can alley.

"So according to your analysis, you think this place is likely to hide armed forces, right?"

"80.00%."

Speaking of this, Shen Changyan almost unconsciously thought that during the observation process last night, he saw a group of foreign objects bulging brightly around the waists of nearly ten people from both sides of the conversation.

If nothing else, the bulging part will probably be in the shape of a pistol/gun.

"I agree with all the points you said." Lu Qinghe responded, "Although it is four o'clock in the morning, even if the transaction in the criminal place is stopped, since this is the place of criminal transaction, the defense and observation set up in this place are absolutely necessary. It's impossible to stop, so it's certainly not advisable for us to take the broad road to the outside world now."

"Then you come in with me?"

Shen Changyan was a little hesitant when he stretched out his hand. He couldn't guarantee that everything that might happen during this trip would be under his control, but he was confident enough that he would be able to protect Lu Qinghe well.

"Of course I'm going in with you."

Almost without hesitation, Lu Qinghe handed over his hand to Shen Changyan's with a "snap".

The space at 4 o'clock in the morning was still very quiet, but the sudden explosion scared the courage of the two ambitious people just now.

Lu Qinghe shivered by himself, he and Shen Changyan shrank their heads almost at the same time when they were startled by the noise he created.

Then the two felt that the stupid things they did were a bit too funny, so they covered their mouths and giggled for a while, before they dared to tentatively lean out.

"Lu Qinghe."

"I'm here."

"I suddenly remembered that you called Wu Chengzhou's name yesterday."

"Yeah, that fat guy with the big gold chain talking to the driver at the Ganges Steel Mill."

"You know him?"

"It can't be said that we know each other, but we met in the Public Security Bureau before."

"Because of what?"

"I forgot whether it was the case of the anti-pornography team or the anti-narcotics team. Didn't the General Administration issue an order in the first half of the year to resolutely prohibit cases of torture to extract confessions and torture in public security and police stations everywhere? Before the closing statement, it is necessary to contact a police officer from an external department who has not participated in the investigation and arraignment of the case, and cooperate to check the investigation results and sign the case before closing the case."

"So you were involved in his trial?"

"Yeah." Lu Qinghe nodded, "But it's so strange, I can't remember at all why I met him."

"It shouldn't be a big deal, and no one was killed. Otherwise, it would be impossible to skip the criminal investigation and go directly to the anti-pornography team and the anti-narcotics team to close the case. Lu Qinghe, you know what our criminal investigation team has to do every day, every month, every year. There are countless jobs and people to be interrogated, but if you can remember this person named Wu Chengzhou clearly, then he must have done something that impressed you very much."

People have come out of the alley of the garbage dump.

Shen Changyan grabbed Lu Qinghe's hand, and the moonlight was imprinted on the concrete road extending outward, as if emitting a strange light to lure prey to jump off.

With just a glance, Lu Qinghe understood why Shen Changyan just insisted on never returning from this way of origin.

Because that is completely a dead end, a road to death that leads directly to the eighteenth level of hell.

"Shen Changyan, if we are quiet now and nothing happened, then I might be able to remember it, but my mind is in a mess now, and I have no way to recall it at all."

"Don't be afraid."

The two of them bent down and walked into the alley silently. With the house as a cover, they could better hide their actions.

Before Shen Changyan entered this criminal exchange, his right hand was still tightly grasping the unbolted pistol/gun.

He stopped for half a step.

"Lu Qinghe, are you still afraid?"

"I'm not afraid."

"But I felt a lot of sweat in your palms."

"Shen Changyan, it's normal for people to be nervous when encountering such a situation, but don't forget, I'm also a policeman."

"Yes, you are also a policeman." Shen Changyan smiled softly, and he said, "Then from now on, if we go one step further in, we will absolutely not be able to say anything, and I will let go of your hand for the time being."

"Let go, it will be cumbersome to hold me, hold the gun with your two hands, I will be safer."

After Lu Qinghe finished speaking, he added in time, "We can talk about the rest after we go back."

Shen Changyan laughed, and he slowly let go of Lu Qinghe's wet fingers.

"What we want to continue when we go back is not just what we haven't finished talking about today."
