Back to the world, you human trafficker are dead

After being struck by lightning and then being released from prison for seven days, Dawei's mother's thoughts underwent a drastic change. She no longer talked about wanting a grandson, and later she even took back the two children she had sent away. But that's a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.

Here, Zhang Hui and his group set out on the road again, and according to Zhang Hui's instructions, they headed southwest.

Another day is about to pass in a hurry, and the cold sunlight from the sky shines obliquely, leaving no trace of warmth.

Zhang Hui drank some water, and there were some red bloodshot in the whites of his eyes. He was afraid of missing any clues, so he didn't close his eyes.

Hmm? The red line seemed to tremble, and the color became brighter. Zhang Hui was very excited, stretched his neck and widened his eyes, looking along the red line between Li Ran's eyebrows in the front seat.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, two or three shops are staggered on both sides of the national highway, which seem to be restaurants and hotels.

She looked far away and saw the red line pointing to a house on the right. The house stood alone, with a toilet and a parking space on the left and right, and fields behind it. It didn't look like there was anything special about it.

Seeing that she seemed to have discovered something, Officer Liu, who was sitting in the back seat, quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Hui was overjoyed: "The child must be in the house on the right!"

Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard this. Li Ran suddenly turned around and asked stutteringly, "Really... is this true?"

Zhang Baoshun used the walkie-talkie to contact his two men in the vehicle behind.

Two cars parked one after another in the empty space next to the restaurant.

Zhang Baoshun led Zhang Hui and police officer Li Ran Liu in to investigate first. Under the pretext of going out for a trip, they strolled in leisurely.

There is a bar on the right hand side of the door, with cigarettes and alcohol in the cupboards. The restaurant is not big, with only four sets of tables and chairs, and there is no one in the room.

Zhang Baoshun shouted, "Are you guys here? Come eat!"

Zhang Hui pointed to the back door: "It's at the back." Li Ran moved and was about to rush over. Officer Liu stopped him: "Don't panic, we don't know how many people there are, be careful that the child becomes a hostage!"

Li Ran's body stiffened and his clenched fists gradually loosened.

Someone answered the door and came out: "I'm coming." The man was in his forties, with a medium build and a beer belly. He was wearing a thick down jacket and holding a box of cigarettes in his hand. He smiled at everyone and handed over three cigarettes.

It's not Lian Shun! Lian Shun is said to be a thin man. Zhang Baoshun took the cigarette, but didn't smoke it. He put it on his ear and tried to find out the truth: "Boss, in broad daylight, why are you running to the backyard instead of doing business in the front?"

The beer belly was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "Nothing, just now my wife said she bought a new dress, let me see if it looks good on me if I put it on."

"Oh, I see. Boss, what are your specialties?" Zhang Baoshun asked again, and found a seat near the back door to sit down.

Everyone sat down and listened to their conversation. Zhang Hui pricked up his ears to collect information from the backyard.

"They are all home-cooked dishes of farmers. My specialty is the sour soup fish made by my wife. Everyone who has eaten it says it is delicious." He introduced with a smile on his face.

"Okay then, let's have this, and some twice-cooked pork and some stir-fried vegetables." Zhang Baoshun ordered the dishes promptly.

Beer Belly nodded repeatedly, took note of it, and went into the backyard.

Ten minutes later, two policemen in another car also entered the house in disguise.

"Boss!" one of them shouted at the top of his voice, "Hey, it's coming." The man with a beer belly ran out in a hurry, wrote down the name of the dish, and then hurried back.

A woman complained: "My new clothes are getting dirty."

"If it gets dirty, buy a new one. Hurry up and cook the fish, auntie." It was the voice of the beer belly. "I have to cook other dishes. Two tables came today, and Yang Zi happened to take a day off. Ouch!"

It sounded like he accidentally bumped into something and cried out in pain.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Did you hurt your hand?" The woman's panicked voice.

Probably seriously injured, Beer Belly didn't speak for a few minutes. Zhang Hui only heard the sound of the woman walking around and searching for something.

"My hands hurt so much that I can't cook." The man with a beer belly was very upset. It was a rare opportunity to meet a big client in winter, so what should he do?

The woman said hesitantly: "Why don't we let Shunzi come? Didn't you say he learned cooking?"

Beer Belly shook his head: "That won't work, don't you know he's here to hide?"

"I'm not asking him to leave. He's just cooking a dish in the kitchen. Can't I just bring it out? Who comes to eat and needs to watch the chef cook with their own eyes?" The woman didn't understand. What was there to think about? It was such a simple thing. Couldn't he just finish cooking for these two tables and then go back to the house?

Gritting his teeth, Beer Belly still couldn't bear to see these two tables of business go to waste, so he stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Shunzi."

Zhang Hui couldn't help but concentrate and listen carefully. Seeing this, the others kept silent and held their breath, for fear of disturbing her.

"Brother, well, the cook is on leave today, and unfortunately my hand is injured again, so I'd like to ask you for a favor." The voice of the man with a beer belly came from not far away.

Zhang Hui was shocked. He didn't expect that this guy lived so close to the back door. He must be paying attention to any movement in the lobby in front at all times.

She was so focused on the conversation between Beer Belly and his wife that she didn't hear what Shunzi did.

But why didn't he hear the child's voice? Did he give the child medicine again? Thinking of this, Zhang Hui calmed down and circulated more spiritual energy to his ears.

A faint breathing sound was heard in the room, and Zhang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the child was okay.

She quietly told Officer Liu what she heard in the backyard. Officer Liu took out his notebook, wrote it down one by one, and passed it to other people to read.

Soon, Zhang Baoshun made a plan and prepared to split his troops into two groups, one to arrest the person in the kitchen and the other to rescue the child.

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. After waiting for a while, Zhang Hui heard three people busy in the kitchen and said to Zhang Baoshun in a hurry, "They have started cooking. The child is in another room."

As a result, the arrest went incredibly smoothly. When Lian Shun was arrested, he was holding a spatula in his hand and preparing to stir-fry some pork.

He stood there in a daze. The fire on the stove in front of him was burning fiercely, but his heart was completely cold. The shovel in his hand fell to the dirty ground with a bang.

Until this moment, he still didn't understand how he got caught?

He abducted the child and ran away immediately. He did not hide at his lover's place like he did in the past. He did not even dare to go back to his hometown. He has been hiding at this distant relative's house, thinking that he would sell the child after the storm has passed. Who knows...

I have been in this line of work for four or five years. I have to keep my head on my belt and be alert at all times. I have never slept well at night. I hope I won’t have a nightmare this night.

Li Ran hugged the sleeping child and called his name over and over again, but the child did not respond at all.

Zhang thought about it and reminded him: "The child has been drugged, go to the hospital quickly."

Li Ran was also worried and confused. After being reminded by her, he rushed out of the house with the child. Zhang Baoshun still had to deal with the follow-up matters. Officer Liu greeted him and hurriedly pulled Zhang Hui into the car.
