Let me see which unlucky person is here to tell fortunes today

Ji Chu didn't want to talk about his cooperation with the police in the live broadcast, although doing so could indeed attract attention, but if too many people knew about it, it would not be good for either the police or himself.

Soon, Ji Chu connected with Luo Sheng via video. Of course, before that, she still wore the ghost mask she used during live broadcasts.

On the other side, Luo Sheng simply greeted Ji Chu, then switched his phone's front camera to the rear camera, and then he took the phone to the interrogation room.

Through the one-way transparent glass outside, Ji Chu could see Zhang Sumei, who was imprisoned inside, with disheveled hair and dirty face, and her hands handcuffed to her seat.

No matter how the interrogating police questioned her, she just kept her head down and said nothing.

But such a middle-aged woman who looks a bit pitiful is actually so cruel and ruthless that she sells people everywhere like objects.

"Officer Luo, before calculating the whereabouts of the child, I have to tell you some unfortunate news."

"What news? Tell me!"

"Three girls out of the 26 children have died."

Luo Sheng was silent for a moment. He certainly understood that due to the ignorant idea of ​​backward mountainous areas that want boys to inherit the family line, boys have always been the primary target of human traffickers.

But the gender of a child born in the hospital will not be based on the ideas of the traffickers.

Those girls cannot be sold, so they have to be kept forever. In order not to waste money, most of them are driven out to beg on the streets at around 3 years old.

Some human traffickers are even more inhumane. For the sake of money, they make these healthy children who they cannot sell disabled in order to win the sympathy of passers-by. It is also very common for them to accidentally kill uncooperative children.

Luo Sheng sighed slightly and was about to say something when he saw Ji Chu's calm eyes through the mask.

Logically speaking, anyone who heard this kind of news would feel sad, but Luo Sheng, who had interrogated countless prisoners, felt that Ji Chu did not feel sad at all at this moment.

"Miss Ji, you are lying to me!"

Ji Chu was surprised that the police officer who became so popular on the Internet did have some skills.

"We were discovered by Officer Luo!"

Luo Sheng was a little angry about Ji Chu's calm attitude. In his opinion, this was a kind of non-cooperation: "Miss Ji, can you tell me the reason?"

Ji Chu was helpless and asked in a deep voice: "If Officer Luo was a girl, and your life was pretty good, and the police found your parents who favored boys over girls, would you be willing to go home?"

"Why do you know that they must favor boys over girls?"

Ji Chu shrugged: "I'm not trying to whitewash Zhang Sumei. Even if I don't understand metaphysics, I don't believe that as a habitual offender, she wouldn't be unaware that baby girls are difficult to sell. So there's a high probability that these three girls were not wanted by their biological parents."

"I know the law cannot tolerate darkness, but isn't the existence of the law meant to bring a better life to the people? So these three children...can't we just not find them?"

Luo Sheng fell silent again, and finally understood why Ji Chu lied in the beginning.

As an upright people's policeman, he has seen many similar things, but the law is the law, emotion is emotion, and nothing can override the law.

But as a human being, he also has feelings. Knowing that the biological parents favored sons over daughters, he still took back the child who was living a good life, which seemed like pushing the child into the fire.

Seeing that Luo Sheng was in a dilemma, Ji Chu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "How about this, Officer Luo, let's make a bet. You send a message to those 26 families to see if they are willing to spend money to take their children back?"

"If those three families didn't send anyone, you can just pretend you didn't notice that I lied, okay?"

Luo Sheng was a little embarrassed: "But buying and selling is the same crime. Even if those three girls are living well now, their parents have also committed a crime!"

Ji Chu smiled and shook his head: "Officer Luo, do you think it is likely that those people bought a girl?"

Luo Sheng was speechless.

Ji Chu: "Those three girls were abandoned in the wilderness to fend for themselves, and were later picked up and brought home by kind-hearted people who saved their lives and adopted them. If it weren't for them, those three girls would have really died."

Luo Sheng hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Just do as you say!"

Afterwards, he arranged for someone to send messages to the families of the 26 abducted children, saying that a certain amount of money would be required to retrieve the children.

Some of the parents came directly to the police station with stacks of money. Although some lived far away, they happily transferred the money to the police who contacted them. Only three of them read the messages but did not reply.

Seeing that he had lost completely, Luo Sheng smiled helplessly and decided to turn a blind eye to the matter of the three girls.

Ji Chu was also very generous and reported the whereabouts of the remaining 23 children in one breath.

Throughout the first half of the night, police from all over the country cooperated with the Luosheng police station to carry out search and rescue efforts.

But since the oldest of them are already teenagers, they were a little confused when they suddenly realized that they were not their parents' biological children. However, those were matters between the local police and the children's biological parents, and Ji Chu could not intervene.

Seeing the good news coming one after another, Luo Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Officer Luo, can you let me have a few words with Zhang Sumei? It might help you track down the human trafficker behind Zhang Sumei!"

Normally, this kind of death row prisoner is not allowed to meet outsiders, but he has already witnessed Ji Chu's strength. Since he has believed him once, why can't he believe him a second time?

"Row!"

Pushing open the door of the interrogation room, Luo Sheng walked in. Zhang Sumei, who was sitting in her seat, only raised her head slightly, then lowered her head again.

"Zhang Sumei, you refuse to confess anything. Aren't you afraid that the traffickers will retaliate against your family?"

"But do you think that if you don't tell them, they will end up well?"

Zhang Sumei didn't expect that the person who was talking to her was not any of the police officers present, but a masked woman on the phone.

She raised her head curiously, squinted her eyes, and looked up and down at Ji Chu in the camera, wondering if he was someone she knew.

Seeing her reaction, Ji Chu continued, "Some retributions are engraved in your fate and cannot be escaped. For example, five years ago, you bought a sick and dying baby girl from a cleaner for 5 yuan, and then sold her to a human trafficker for 100 yuan."

"Then the traffickers found out you had cheated them, beat you up, and robbed you of 2 yuan."

"The baby girl could have been saved at the time, but you got angry and used your position to kill her and then disposed of her. Am I right?"

Zhang Sumei’s eyes widened. She had never told anyone about this before. How did she know?

"You...what do you want to say?" Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhang Sumei's voice was hoarse when she opened her mouth.

Ji Chu laughed cruelly: "That baby girl is your granddaughter!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Sumei stood up suddenly and roared at Ji Chu.
