Chapter 442 The tip of the iceberg

Li Yancheng didn't allow others to say anything to the outside world, and he certainly wouldn't say anything either. He just laughed it off with these people, bought a few buns from the restaurant, and hurried home. If he didn't leave, these people would surround him.

Don't underestimate these people's eagerness to watch the show. As long as the trouble doesn't happen to them, they would like there to be more excitement so that they have something to talk about when they go out.

……

"Hello, I'm Li Yancheng."

"Comrade Yan Cheng, it's me."

"Hello, Secretary General."

Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Li Yancheng, who was leaning over his desk drafting teaching materials on interrogation work, put the dip pen in his hand into the ink bottle and leaned back on the chair.

"Yancheng, the Municipal Public Security Bureau has made a report, and it is going through the approval process at their headquarters. Deputy Minister Cheng from the Public Security Headquarters just called and asked you to go to the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to assist in the interrogation of a prisoner. They are still short of a stamp, and the person who is holding the stamp is sick and in the hospital. They would like to ask you to go there first, and then send the invitation letter with the stamp. The case seems to be quite urgent."

Urgent case?
Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. He guessed it was the case of stealing children.

It is now known that the person named Qin Xiuxiu has committed crimes in Yangchao and Chengdong respectively. It is estimated that there are still cases in other places. Such cross-regional cases are generally handed over to the Municipal Bureau for handling, which is more convenient to coordinate.

Anyway, the Chengdong District Branch has already captured the criminals, and the next step is to investigate the case thoroughly. Just like the railway station police station, they must have made an indispensable contribution, so they just hand it over.

But I didn't expect that Qin Xiuxiu had such strong teeth. It's already past ten o'clock, and it's been more than five hours since I caught her, and I still haven't been able to pry her mouth open.

This shows that this woman has committed many crimes, so she is so tight-lipped.

Li Yancheng believed that the interrogators from both the branch and municipal bureaus must have used a large-scale memory recovery technique on her. If she could resist and not confess, she must be considered a ruthless person.

If they continue to persuade her, they should be able to get her to confess, but since they don't know how many other children have been aborted by this woman, the Municipal Bureau doesn't dare to waste too much time.

If the children who have not yet left Beijing are taken away due to the delay, the subsequent work will be more troublesome.

Since time is urgent, it would be better to ask Li Yancheng to come forward and take the information directly from this woman's mouth.

"Okay Secretary General, I got it. I'll be there right away."

"Well, that's it."

After saying that, Hong Dingguo hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yancheng didn't bother to clean up the table. He stood up, walked to the door, picked up the clothes hanging on the hook, put them on, opened the office door and walked out.

"Xiao Guan, I'm going to the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If there's anything urgent, call me there."

"Good leadership."

……

By the time he arrived at the Criminal Investigation Department, half an hour had passed. The current director of the department, Duan Guobang, and the deputy director, Zhu Dongjun, had been waiting for him at the gate.

Li Yancheng had come to a place to assist in interrogations several times, and his license plate had long been remembered by these people. When they saw his car coming from a distance, Director Duan hurriedly asked the people on duty at the door to pull open the barricades.

He guessed correctly, the police called him over just to interrogate Qin Xiuxiu.

After being caught, this woman gritted her teeth and didn't say a word. If Geng Daniu and the man and woman who were caught at the train station had not confirmed that she could speak, people would have suspected that this woman was mute.

Without much greeting, the three of them, led by Director Duan, came to the interrogation room together.

Hearing someone coming in, Qin Xiuxiu, who was fixed in the chair, raised her eyelids to take a look, then lowered her eyes again.

After Li Yancheng came in, he walked straight to the table, picked up the notebook in front of the recorder and took a look. It was a blank sheet of paper with nothing on it.

The two recorders sitting behind the table had stood up at this time and greeted Secretary-General Li respectfully.

After nodding to the two of them, Li Yancheng walked in front of Qin Xiuxiu. The woman who had her head down saw a pair of feet appear in front of her, so she raised her head and looked at the man standing in front of her with an expressionless face.

"Qin Xiuxiu"

"..."

"Are you sure you don't want to cooperate?"

"..."

"Okay, I'll do it myself."

Seeing that she had no intention of cooperating at all, Li Yancheng shrugged his shoulders, reached out and grabbed Qin Xiuxiu's right wrist, and began to take her pulse.

Seeing his actions, a trace of confusion flashed in Qin Xiuxiu's eyes. She didn't know what he was going to do. The two recorders had already sat down and picked up their pens, ready to record at any time.

"Name"

"Qin Xiuxiu"

"gender"

"female"

"age"

"Forty-two years old"

Date of Birth

"The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in 1938"

Home address

"Eastern District..."

"How many children have you stolen?"

……

What the hell!

As the interrogation continued, after hearing what the woman named Qin Xiuxiu confessed, several people in the interrogation room couldn't help but gasp.

Even the two directors of the first department and Li Yancheng, who were well-informed, couldn't help but stare wider after hearing what the woman had confessed.

Good guy, really good guy!

Director Duan from the First Division almost drew his gun and shot the woman on the spot. His breathing became heavier.

The next contents of the interrogation are, first, to continue to dig deeper into this criminal gang, and second, to find out the whereabouts of these children.

In addition to the two children who have been rescued, there are still three children who are still in Beijing and have not been sent away. They are detained in different places and are under the care of special people. After obtaining the address of the children, Director Duan immediately arranged for people to rescue the three children and arrest the criminals who were guarding them.

At the same time, Qin Xiuxiu also revealed the whereabouts of several other people who stole children, and another wave of police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department were dispatched.

Soon, the half-hour interrogation time was up, and Li Yancheng stopped the interrogation according to the time. Because she had committed too many crimes and there were too many questions that needed to be answered, she had not finished her explanation.

But it doesn’t matter. Generally speaking, as long as the person is not the kind of person with particularly strong teeth, he or she will actively cooperate after this interrogation.

"Director Duan, Deputy Director Zhu, the rest of the interrogation is now in your hands. I've explained so much already, and she should be very cooperative from now on.

Of course, if you still refuse to cooperate like you did just now, the next interrogation will have to wait for half a month. You should be very clear about this."

Li Yancheng and the two directors of the First Division sat behind the desks in the interrogation room and lit up cigarettes.

The two directors had seen this kind of interrogation more than eight or ten times and were very clear about its pros and cons. They nodded at the same time when they heard this.

"Also, her body will still be weak in the next half month. If she still refuses to cooperate, it's best not to be too aggressive. Her body is still weak and she can't stand it."

"Thank you Secretary General Li for the reminder."

In fact, both directors knew about these taboos, but Li Yancheng would still remind them tirelessly after each interrogation, for he was worried that they might be too eager for quick success and cause irreparable consequences.

If something really happens, no one can handle it.

This is secondary. The main reason is that if the criminals are unable to cooperate and confess, many cases will be buried in the sea and the victims will not be able to be rescued.

In this case that started with the Dong family's lost child, Qin Xiuxiu's confession is just the tip of the iceberg. The content that this woman just confessed also mentioned that there are other places where young women are deceived.

It is said that the female educated youth who have just returned to the city are the easiest to deceive. Taking advantage of their eagerness to find a job, they can be deceived with absolute certainty in many places.

Children, women.

Especially the former, which made Li Yancheng feel heavy in his heart. What Qin Xiuxiu had just confessed made even him, an expert who had experienced many major cases, feel suffocated.

In the next 20 to 30 years, such incidents will occur frequently across the country. In the future, even if the technological means available become more diverse, the loss of children will still be common.

This made him want to present the idea that came to his mind before going to bed early this morning to the relevant leader as soon as possible.

If you live your life again, you should do something.

However, you have to eat one bite at a time, and some things still need to be considered carefully. You need to explain all the details and the pros and cons clearly to attract the attention of your leaders.

When doing work, it is not enough to just raise questions. The most important thing is to be able to solve problems. Even if the method of solving the problem is a little immature, it is always better than just raising questions.

After politely declining the suggestion from the two directors of the first department to stay for dinner, Li Yancheng drove towards the headquarters.

On the way, what kept churning in his mind was what Qin Xiuxiu, the woman, had just told him.

As soon as he reached an intersection, he was stopped by a traffic police. Only then did he notice that he had reached the intersection leading to the Capital Hotel. The traffic police stopped not only the cars, but also the pedestrians and cyclists on the road.

Especially the oncoming lane, which was blocked even further. Only traffic police on duty could be seen on the empty road. Not even a single pedestrian could be seen. Even the staff in roadside shops were asked not to leave the shops.

When he saw this situation, he knew that more foreign friends were going to stay at the Beijing Hotel and would be arriving soon, so he implemented temporary traffic control.

Seeing that the road behind was blocked by oncoming cars, Li Yancheng shook his head with a bit of regret. If he had known that he would encounter this situation, he might as well have driven directly home along the north road.

The traffic police on duty knew whose car it was. After hesitating for a moment, he walked to the driver's window and saluted.

"Boss, do you want me to evacuate the cars behind you so you can turn around and go north? It will probably take half an hour here."

"No need." Li Yancheng looked back at the increasing number of cars behind him. He wanted to use his privilege simply. If the cars behind him followed suit, it would be a mess here soon. So he shook his head not to embarrass the traffic police.

"Do you know who's coming?"

"I heard from our captain that he seemed to be coming from Hong Kong Island."

Seeing that Li Yancheng did not agree with his proposal, the traffic police on duty secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone from Hong Kong Island?
Li Yancheng's heart moved. It seemed that, probably, it was possible that the biological mother of this body of his would arrive today.

Hey, what’s the matter? Just come over here. You’ve blocked me here.

Li Yancheng thought with some indignation.

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I don't have anything important to do. Just wait here for a while."

"Thank you, leader."

Hearing what Li Yancheng said, the traffic police on duty saluted again, turned around and walked back to his duty post.

After the traffic police on duty left, Li Yancheng lit a cigarette for himself, and the image of his adopted mother, whom he would meet in two days, emerged in his mind.

There have been too many trivial things these past two days. If he hadn't happened to meet Hong Kong businessmen coming to Beijing today, he would have almost forgotten about this matter.

In his impression, in a few years, the overseas Chinese, including many people on the island in the east, will return to China to look for their relatives more and more frequently.

Due to propaganda issues and word of mouth from people with ulterior motives, ordinary people in China will extremely yearn for life abroad, believing that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than the one at home.

Everyone is proud of having overseas connections, unlike in previous years, when anyone who dared to have an overseas connection would be doomed.

The craze for going abroad will become more and more intense, and in the near future, one human tragedy and comedy after another will be staged.

Through word of mouth by some people with ulterior motives, it seems that there is gold everywhere in foreign countries, money is raining from the sky, and you can make money without even bending down.

There is no mention of how to live in a foreign country if you don’t speak the language, or how you will be miserable if you can’t get a work visa and have to work illegally for others, and in the end you may not even get paid.

This is caused by information asymmetry.

In fact, the main problem was the publicity. For example, those magazines were criticized a lot on the Internet forty years later. The faces of many people in those magazines were simply ugly.

There were reports about drinking toilet water, washing dishes a certain number of times, sparrows on wires, and how many meters deep there were tools in that famous sewer.

Just as he thought of this, Li Yancheng's mind suddenly lit up. With his identity, it seemed that he could suggest that the front-line investigators of the Social Affairs Bureau talk to the people who published these articles to find out whether they took money that they should not have taken and specialized in these ideological things in the country.

Then he smiled and shook his head. Why think about these things? It's too far away. Let's just do the things in front of us first.

……

No. 11, Meishan East Hutong, Dongjia
Xiao Dong, his parents, his wife, and his parents from his mother's side were all there. Everyone looked at the little one who had just finished drinking milk and had fallen asleep on the bed, with an expression of relief on their faces at having found the little one.

When they found out the child was missing in the early morning, everyone in the Dong family went crazy, especially Xiao Dong's wife, who fainted immediately.

Thanks to the efforts of the public security police, the child was found a few hours later. After Xiao Dong's wife took her son, she didn't dare to let go and she was almost having mental problems.
