Chapter 184 - 184: Selling Children’s Information Is the Same as a Crime!



“Damn…”

“This Qian Gui really…”

“He’s not even human!”

It only took Zhou Qiang ten minutes to return. When he came back, he saw Su Xuan holding a phone, chatting with someone. On the previously empty table, there was now an iron box.

If Zhou Qiang didn’t know that Su Xuan had found something, all his years of experience would have been in vain. He immediately examined the contents of the box and couldn’t help but curse loudly.

The reason for his outrage was the evidence Su Xuan had found in Qian Gui’s rental room – evidence of his dealings with human traffickers. Even a single glance at it would make anyone’s blood boil.

Qian Gui was not only involved in child exploitation but also had knowledge of the child trafficking trade. When he ran out of money, he resorted to using his connections to make deals with traffickers. He didn’t sell children directly; he acted as a facilitator in their sinister business.

For example, some children followed the same route back and forth, wondering if their parents would come to pick them up, or if their grandparents were nearby. All of these details were meticulously recorded in Qian Gui’s notebook.

Qian Gui had traded these valuable pieces of information directly with human traffickers. The traffickers would stop at nothing to abduct children. However, nobody had suspected that Qian Gui had concealed such a significant part of his life.

No wonder when they had arrested him previously, he had seemed relieved. At the time, both Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang had thought that he might have been feeling guilty, thinking it was a kind of relief. Now it was clear.

“Damn!”

“Scum!”

Zhou Qiang slammed his hand on the table, gritting his teeth in anger as he spoke.

Su Xuan nodded in agreement. He had realized what had been bothering him all along when he saw these pieces of evidence embedded in the bathroom wall tiles. It was his cop’s intuition telling him that this case wasn’t over yet.

“We have to continue…”

“We’ve made a big mistake in Qian Gui’s case…”

“Now what?”

Zhou Qiang’s face was now deeply troubled and furious. He looked at Su Xuan with a mix of emotions.

Compared to his partner, Su Xuan remained calm and composed.

“In this case, Qian Gui was just a seller of information…”

“If we want to find Qian Gui and retry him, that’s a matter for after we’ve dealt with this case.”

“Let him sit for now!”

“Child molestation should also be prosecuted. He deserves to be in jail!”

With a serious tone, Su Xuan picked up something from the table and continued, “Our current focus…”

“Should be on how to use this information to dismantle the human traffickers’ operation completely.” Su Xuan’s words left Zhou Qiang in silence for a long time.

Taking down a human trafficking operation wasn’t that simple. Even Su Xuan had previously arrested human traffickers and even managed to trick one of them into revealing information about his own cousin’s involvement.

But even so, their police force had only managed to trace one line. When they followed it up to the leader, the trail had gone cold.

The survival skills of that gang were formidable, and once they sensed danger, they severed their connections and disappeared.

No one knew who was higher up the chain.

The clues had vanished, and what Su Xuan had found this time was just a small piece of evidence from Qian Gui.

Could they really use it to trace the whole network?

“Let’s investigate first!” Su Xuan remained silent for a while before speaking. If they had never come across this lead, it would have been one thing. But now that they had, they couldn’t simply ignore it. His sense of duty as a police officer wouldn’t allow it.

“All those children who were betrayed by Qian Gui over the years…”

“We have no idea how many of them were abducted by this group…”

“If we don’t follow this lead, how will we catch the human traffickers?”

“Of course, you can choose not to join me…”

“What are you saying?” Zhou Qiang interrupted Su Xuan with a stern look. “This is something we found together. Don’t think for a moment that I haven’t thought about those kids. We can’t just let this go. We need to figure out how to deal with it.”

After all, based on the timing, Qian Gui’s last contact with the traffickers had been two months ago, as evidenced by the transaction records. The other party was extremely cautious, always using cash for their transactions and changing the meeting locations. If Qian Gui hadn’t taken precautions and recorded their transactions, they might never have found any leads at all.

“Let’s head back to the office,” Su Xuan said as he looked at the stack of photos in his hand, his tone serious. “We should check if these photos can be used to create a composite image, even if we don’t have a clear view of the person’s face. If we can determine their appearance, it will make our investigation much easier.”

While the photos didn’t capture the entire face, they had details of various parts that might be useful when combined. With the expertise of the composite image specialist at their police department, they might be able to create a complete profile.

Su Xuan’s words excited Zhou Qiang. “What are we waiting for, then?” he exclaimed. “Let’s go! We can catch that guy before he leaves work. He always runs off as soon as his shift ends.”

Zhou Qiang picked up the photos and headed towards the police station. “He’s so fast that I once chased him all the way to the parking garage, and I still couldn’t catch him!”

Jiangcheng Police Station.

Officer Mo, with a pipe in one hand and a bag in the other, was about to finish his shift. His desk was neat and tidy, a clear sign that he was ready to leave as soon as the end-of-shift bell rang.

However, just at that moment, a hand was placed firmly on his shoulder, pushing him back into his seat. Officer Mo’s heart skipped a beat as he turned to see Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang, two young troublemakers, smiling at him.

Officer Mo’s face wrinkled, and he immediately protested, “I’m off duty now, I’m off duty!”

“Come on, Officer Mo, don’t be like that!” Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin, keeping a firm grip on his shoulder. Officer Mo struggled to get up but couldn’t break free.

“We have an urgent matter, really urgent!” Su Xuan continued, “It won’t take much of your time, and it’s much quicker than dictation.”

“Take a look.” Several photos were placed on his desk, and although Officer Mo was reluctant, he couldn’t help but glance at them.

In the photos, the same man appeared in different shots, and by overlapping and aligning the various parts of his face, a complete image quickly emerged.

Officer Mo realized that he couldn’t escape tonight.

“You little rascals! I have dinner plans with your aunt tonight,” Officer Mo protested. “Today is our golden wedding anniversary. If you don’t let me go, you won’t get your hands on this stuff until tomorrow!”

Zhou Qiang hesitated, but Su Xuan just smiled.

“Officer Mo, what’s our relationship?” Su Xuan asked, a sly grin on his face.

” My auntie asked me out to go shopping today. Help me draw today. After this matter is over, I’ll treat you to a restaurant!”

Officer Mo looked at his wife’s twitter on Su Xuan’s phone and his vision darkened!
