Mo Qiong led the police into the hotel. Along the way, they could see the traces of a fight in the living room, the kitchen knives and metal rods on the second floor, and the children who stood still against the wall.
Mo Qiong only told them the truth about the scene.
When they checked on the children, the police realized that they were a little autistic. Only the oldest child spoke after everyone comforted him.
When they asked why the children did not speak, the child said, "Can't speak, can't cry … If I make a sound, I'll be beaten …"
Every time he said something, he would be beaten again even if he cried. No matter who it was, once he cried a hundred times, he would be beaten a hundred times. No one would dare to cry a hundred and first times.
It was simple, violent, and effective. As they brought them from the North to the South, even if there were people passing by, none of the children would make a sound.
This child said that he had been transported all the time, but that was all.
As for where his home was, which cities he passed by, and who was involved in the process, he did not know anything.
As for the family information of these children, five of them were provided by Mo Qiong. Mo Qiong noted down their parents' situation and where they were registered.
At this moment, not only did he inform the parents of the five children, he also provided the relevant information to the police.
"Not bad, young man. You remember these things so clearly?" said a police officer.
Mo Qiong smiled, "Because I have a friend whose brother was kidnapped. It has been four years and he hasn't been found yet. So I'm especially concerned about such things. I saw a few posts on the forum about searching for children. They were all posted in the past few months, so I remember them very clearly. "
The police officer nodded and patted Mo Qiong's shoulder, "There are many such situations. Like what you said, if they haven't been found after four years, they are definitely not in the hands of the traffickers. The children's situation … is very complicated."
Mo Qiong said, "Some of these children are from the North. They were sent all the way here, so they must have been transported through several places. I think we can find out a large group of people behind these people."
The police officer said, "That's for sure. The higher-ups will intensify the interrogation. Who knows, your friend's brother might have been kidnapped by this group of people."
"I think so too. Well, I have a few questions to ask them. Can I?" asked Mo Qiong.
"Ask them here. After they are taken away, it's not under my control anymore," said the police officer.
Mo Qiong was stunned, "Why?"
The old policeman smiled and said, "We're just a county. It's impossible for us to lead the investigation of a nationwide crime gang …"
After a brief explanation, Mo Qiong understood.
It was impossible to find out all the people behind the scenes, so these people would be sent to the city to be interrogated by several big task forces. They would be investigated together with similar cases in other areas.
The interrogation information of the human traffickers caught all over the country had to be compiled and analyzed by the task force to find out which groups of people were actually in the same group. Then, several related cases would be combined into one case. When everything was investigated clearly, the net would be pulled in for a nationwide arrest and rescue.
The county bureau was only in charge of the case for now. After a rough interrogation, the case was handed over to the city.
Because of this, there weren't many rules here. When the police heard that Mo Qiong was looking for a child who had been lost for four years, they didn't mind if he went to interrogate him.
In the county police station, a human trafficker sat on a chair and was yelling about going to the hospital.
"Eh eh … Eh eh … Send me to the hospital …" That human trafficker had half of his teeth knocked out by Mo Qiong. He couldn't even speak clearly now. The police only gave him a simple treatment, but he was still in unbearable pain.
With a creak, the door opened. Mo Qiong and a police officer walked in.
When the human trafficker saw them, he instantly stopped talking and curled up on the chair.
The police officer sat in front of the table and opened the record book. Mo Qiong walked straight to the human trafficker and looked down at him.
"What … What's going on … He's a spy?" The human trafficker was extremely afraid of Mo Qiong. He was trembling all over.
Seeing that Mo Qiong could enter the interrogation room, he thought that he was a police officer too.
The police officer didn't say anything and didn't give the human trafficker a formal statement before the interrogation. This actually meant that this wasn't a formal interrogation. In theory, the human trafficker could say nothing.
However, the human trafficker didn't know. No one told him either.
"Have you seen this before?" Mo Qiong took out the longevity lock.
The human trafficker looked at the longevity lock with a sad face and shook his head. "No …"
Mo Qiong said indifferently, "Think carefully before you answer."
The human trafficker shuddered and hurriedly looked at it again. He still said, "Brother! Don't hit me … I … I really don't know this. "
Mo Qiong was very disappointed. This human trafficker didn't seem to be lying. When he looked at the longevity lock, his gaze didn't change at all.
Of course, maybe he had forgotten, or maybe he was a scheming person and Mo Qiong couldn't tell.
After thinking for a while, Mo Qiong changed the question. "What did you use to transport the children? Where were you before you came here?"
The human trafficker said honestly, "From Feixi … We used a van."
"What about before that? Don't try to squeeze toothpaste out of me! "Mo Qiong glared at him.
The human trafficker sighed and hurriedly told him everything he knew about the entire journey.
The police officer who was listening in at the back looked at the obedient human trafficker in shock. He quickly recorded a large amount of information that the human trafficker gave.
Generally speaking, unless it was a real old fox, violence could destroy a person's resistance.
Just like how they made the children extremely obedient, at this moment, the human trafficker was like a little chick in front of Mo Qiong.
They were not afraid of the police, but they were afraid of ruthless people.
They told Mo Qiong all the things that the police might not be able to get out of them. Their psychological resistance had completely collapsed.
In such a state, the police could beat them out, but that would be extorting a confession through torture.
However, Mo Qiong was not a police officer. Moreover, Mo Qiong's fierce impression was formed before they were caught.
How was that considered extorting a confession? It was just subduing them.
Beating them before they were caught and beating them after they were caught were two different things.
Mo Qiong didn't beat them anymore, but that impression was deeply ingrained in the human trafficker's heart.
This human trafficker had half of his teeth smashed out by Mo Qiong. It could be said that he was traumatized by Mo Qiong. Now, he was afraid when he saw Mo Qiong.
Mo Qiong just stood in front of him and the human trafficker didn't dare to hide anything.
After explaining everything, Mo Qiong continued to ask, "Is there anything else? I still have to ask others. If I find out that you're hiding something … Hmm, I have a bit of OCD. I hate to see things that can't be symmetrical. "
As he said that, Mo Qiong looked at the other half of the human trafficker's tooth.
The human trafficker's tears flowed out as he begged, "Big Brother, I really have nothing to say. I'm just a small fry. They might know more than me, but that's all I know. Please let me go."
Mo Qiong nodded at the police officer, indicating that this was enough.
The police officer smiled at Mo Qiong and brought him out. Another person came in.
A few hours later, four human traffickers were interrogated by Mo Qiong. The process was extremely easy.
The police looked at the rich testimonies and confirmed that this was a huge gang. It spanned across seven provinces and involved at least a few hundred criminals. Unfortunately, this testimonies didn't have any legal effect. Moreover, these few people only knew the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps this information could be integrated into other human trafficking cases and pieced together for a comprehensive analysis. However, that would be the task of the task force.
"Not bad, little brother. You managed to get so much out of them," said the old policeman with a smile.
Mo Qiong smiled, "I'll be lenient if I confess. They've already been caught. It doesn't matter who comes to ask."
"Aren't they just bullying the weak and fearing the strong? They need a ruthless person like you to deal with them. Oh yeah, I saw that you kept asking about this longevity lock, but it seems like they don't know about it, "said the old policeman.
Mo Qiong nodded, "According to their confessions, they all joined in the past two to three years. Only one of them knows about what happened four years ago."
"Yes, there's one more in the hospital. If you want to ask, just ask all of them," said the old policeman.
Among the five people, the one who had been in the gang the longest was neither the bald man nor the shop owner. It was the guy who was kicked in the groin by Mo Qiong.
His groin was broken. After the surgery, he exercised vigorously. It became more and more painful until he bled profusely.
He was the only human trafficker who was sent to the hospital for treatment.
Mo Qiong came to the hospital personally to find him. He had already finished the surgery.
"Hello, I'm here to see you," Mo Qiong walked into the ward with the police officer.
"Don't come over. I was wrong. I was really wrong," the human trafficker cried when he saw him.
Mo Qiong walked to him and sat down. He took out the longevity lock and said, "Do you know this?"
The human trafficker was stunned. He said, "Longevity lock."
"Do you know who it belongs to?" Mo Qiong smiled.
"Qin … Liang. It's written on it," the human trafficker said softly.
Mo Qiong sneered. Compared to the other four people, this guy's answer seemed normal. However, it was strange.
He definitely knew what Mo Qiong wanted to ask, but he gave a nonsensical answer. In comparison, the other four people directly said that they did not know. They were not like him who pretended to be dumb.
"Did you throw it to the recycling station in Hefei?" Mo Qiong asked suddenly.
"It wasn't me …" the human trafficker said. He was stunned.
Mo Qiong asked, "Then who was it?"
The police officer looked at him too. It was obvious that he knew.
The human trafficker was silent.
"Slap!" Mo Qiong kicked him off the bed.
The human trafficker screamed and looked at Mo Qiong in fear, "I … I've been caught! Are the police not going to do anything?! "
The police officer who came in with Mo Qiong quickly pulled Mo Qiong and said, "Don't do anything. This is the hospital."
The human trafficker saw that the police were really doing something and heaved a sigh of relief. However, Mo Qiong kicked him again.
He screamed in pain, "What right do you have to hit me!"
Mo Qiong said calmly, "Because I'm willing to accept mediation."
The human trafficker was stunned. The police officer beside him did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Sorry, I don't like him. I was impulsive. Please mediate …" Mo Qiong said to the police officer beside him.
The police officer blinked and said, "If it's just a quarrel, we can mediate … You can pay him some medical fees."
"Okay, no problem," Mo Qiong said.
"I don't accept!" the human trafficker said hurriedly.
Mo Qiong asked, "What if he doesn't accept mediation?"
The police officer frowned and said, "Then we'll have to punish you. If it's not serious, you'll be fined 500 yuan and detained for up to five days."
Mo Qiong heard and kicked him again.
The human trafficker screamed. Mo Qiong said, "Sorry, I was impulsive again … Please mediate."
"I don't …"
The human trafficker wanted to say something, but Mo Qiong raised his foot. He immediately changed his words, "I accept, I accept …"
Seeing that he admitted defeat, Mo Qiong squatted in front of him and said, "Tell me where you sent Qin Liang to four years ago … I want to know everything about him."
"Since you're already arrested, just confess. You don't have to say it, but I won't let this go. "
"Don't worry, there's no need to make things difficult for the police. I'd rather be detained than beat you up until you can't take care of yourself."
Hearing that, the police officer said in shock, "You're still a university student, right? You'll be detained."
Mo Qiong said calmly, "I don't care."
The police officer said, "You've got guts! I'll write a self-reflection now and say that I didn't hold you back. "
"I'm really sorry about that," Mo Qiong said.
"It's a small matter. Hit me too. If I do it myself, it won't be as simple as writing a self-reflection," the police officer said with a smile.
Seeing the two of them echo each other, the human trafficker broke down.
One was willing to be detained, and the other was willing to write a self-reflection. This was too hopeless.
"Brother, I say, I give up. I really give up …"
