"I confess! I confess! Don’t go through my computer, I’ll tell you everything!"
Originally, Xu Mo had already planned to get up and recover the deleted records on the computer, but he didn’t expect Chen Wen to suddenly become so cooperative...
Seeing Chen Wen being so cooperative, Xu Mo decided to save himself the trouble.
"Alright, tell us then. How many people have you and your brother trafficked? What were your methods? Be detailed."
"I can tell you, but..." Chen Wen hesitated, "Can you promise not to look at my computer?"
If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wasn’t planning to, but now that you’ve brought it up, I’ll definitely take a look later... Xu Mo nodded, putting on a serious face. "Don’t worry, I won’t look at your computer. Go ahead."
"Swear it!"
"I swear, I won’t look at your computer. If I do, I won’t be surnamed Wang!"
Han Fei gave Xu Mo a puzzled look, thinking to himself, *Aren’t you surnamed Xu? You’re not even surnamed Wang! What kind of oath is that?*
Seeing Xu Mo make such a solemn vow, Chen Wen finally felt assured and began to speak.
"My brother and I have trafficked... about twenty or thirty people. We only handled the kidnapping part. Once we got someone, we’d contact Boss Wang to come pick them up. Boss Wang is the one who showed up today."
"Our usual method was to drug them or dress the kids in dirty clothes, shave their heads, and smear dirt on their faces. Then we’d give them some candy and take them away. A dirty kid doesn’t attract much attention, and even their parents wouldn’t recognize them at a glance."
"The one we were planning to sell today was just caught. We’d been wandering around the mall for hours and couldn’t find a target. We were about to give up and go home after eating, but then we happened to spot a clean, fair-skinned little boy in a restaurant."
"Kids like that, the cute ones, usually fetch a good price. We pretended to compliment the boy and gave him a piece of candy. After eating it, he soon had a stomachache. My brother followed him to the bathroom and drugged him. I waited downstairs to catch him when my brother tossed him into the truck bed. There was a cushion in the bed..."
As Han Fei listened, he nodded. Chen Wen’s description of their methods matched almost perfectly with Xu Mo’s earlier deductions.
It had to be said, Xu Mo’s skills were impressive. He had managed to reconstruct the entire crime based on a half-dead bug in the corner of the bathroom, and it aligned perfectly with the criminal’s confession.
Once Chen Wen had revealed everything he knew, the two officers took his statement and left the interrogation room, ready to question the buyer who had turned himself in.
From Chen Wen’s confession, they learned that the Chen brothers only handled the kidnappings. After capturing the children, they would contact Boss Wang and sell them to him.
As for where the kidnapped children ended up, they had no idea.
The only one who knew the final destinations of the trafficked children was Boss Wang. Only if he confessed could the police use his information to rescue the children.
With Chen Wen’s confession, the subsequent interrogation went much more smoothly.
Almost effortlessly, the buyer also confessed, revealing the whereabouts of all the children he had sold over the years.
It’s worth noting that most of the trafficked children had been sold to other provinces.
As for Chen Wu, seeing that his brother had already spilled everything, he simply sighed and added some details about the methods they had used in their kidnappings.
Although all three had confessed, the case was far from over. The trafficked children still hadn’t been reunited with their families.
Today happened to be Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions. To ensure that these trafficked children could be reunited with their families, the officers worked tirelessly, immediately coordinating with police departments in neighboring cities to launch a cross-province operation.
Since the officers already had complete information on the buyers, the operation went remarkably smoothly.
Police in multiple regions, using the buyer information provided by Ram City, swiftly arrested all the buyers. In just half a day, all the buyers were in custody, and the trafficked children were brought back to Ram City.
After bringing the children back to Ram City, Han Fei quickly contacted all the local police stations, pulling up all the records of missing children reports filed in the city.
Using these reports, they contacted the parents who had reported their children missing, allowing them to reunite with their kids on this festive day.
At the same time, the police invited the media to publicize the various methods used by human traffickers, aiming to raise awareness and warn the public to stay vigilant.
That day, the officers barely had a moment to rest. From the early morning when they received the report, they worked tirelessly until late at night, with no time to celebrate the festival or reunite with their own families.
Although they couldn’t celebrate or spend time with their loved ones, this Mid-Autumn Festival was perhaps the most meaningful one they had ever experienced.
Thanks to their efforts, more than twenty families, once torn apart, were reunited on this joyous day.
Watching the tearful scenes of parents and children embracing, the officers felt that it had been a truly fulfilling and meaningful day.
That night, a trending topic about the Ram City police solving a child trafficking case on Mid-Autumn Festival topped the charts.
Netizens flooded the comments with blessings for Xu Mo and the other officers who had worked tirelessly during the holiday.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
