Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

What Li Xiangnan never expected was that after finally catching the old man, he turned out not to be the culprit!

Obviously, the subconscious words spoken in panic are the true reaction of the heart!

This old man is really not the Fourth Master!

He is not the Fourth Master, then who is the Fourth Master?

"Tell me! Who is the Fourth Master? Where does he live? Who is he?" Guo Qian immediately understood what he meant and grabbed the old man's collar and pulled him up from the ground.

The old man suddenly shut up and his eyes became terrified, as if he mentioned something extremely terrifying.

"What benefit did he give you that made you unwilling to give him up even after you were arrested?"

Li Xiangnan stared at the old man, his eyes flashing coldly in the dim light of the flashlight.

But the old man's mental state suddenly became very bad. He hung his head and said nothing. No matter how Li Xiangnan asked, he just wouldn't say anything!

"take away!"

Seeing this, Guo Qian was furious. "Take him back and interrogate him thoroughly. I don't believe we can't dig out this so-called Fourth Master of yours!"

When we returned to the ground, the children had been rescued and were wrapped in blankets brought by the police and drinking hot water.

The brother and sister hugged each other tightly. When they saw Li Xiangnan, the brother suddenly ran over and knelt down with a thud.

"Thank you, uncle!" the boy cried. "I've seen you several times. Thank you for saving us!"

Li Xiangnan quickly helped the child up, rubbed his head, and said with relief: "You did a good job. You knew how to protect your sister and helped the uncles delay the time they had to transfer the children! What's your name?"

The boy raised his head, as if trying to remember Li Xiangnan's face, "Uncle Public Security, my name is Xiong Wei, and her name is Fang Qianqian!"

"Oh?" Li Xiangnan was a little surprised when he heard this. "Isn't she your biological sister?"

"No, we met through begging..." Xiong Wei raised his head and said worriedly, "Uncle Public Security, my sister has had a fever for several days, and they refused to treat her! So I ran away secretly, hoping to beg for some money to treat her illness. I was afraid of being arrested, so I didn't dare to get close to anyone..."

That's it!

No wonder this kid was very resistant whenever he met Qin Ruobai or himself. It turned out that he had secretly run away from the evil organization with his sister and had to earn money to pay for her medical treatment.

No wonder they appear near the hospital!

Li Xiangnan knew what was going on. He reached out and touched the little girl's forehead, and it was indeed very hot.

"Captain Guo, please send these children to the hospital for a physical examination first!" he shouted.

But I know it in my heart.

Judging from his previous words, the old man took these children to sell, which means that these children are healthier than those who were made disabled, can be sold at a good price, and probably have slightly better physical fitness!

"Old Wei, take the people back and interrogate them as soon as possible! This batch of children is not all there are, there are still a large number of children being held elsewhere! The yard in Mianhua Hutong will also be raided tonight!" Guo Qian smoked a whole cigarette and gave out the action plan!

"Yes!"

So the troops split into two groups, one team went to the hospital, and the other team sent the person back to the police station and then went to Mianhua Hutong to arrest the person.

On the way to the hospital, Li Xiangnan held the boy and asked him carefully about their life stories. Only then did he realize how difficult it was for these children.

Xiong Wei recounted their experiences in fragments.

He was abducted from Northeast China. His parents died early, so he lived with his grandmother.

One day, a "kind-hearted person" came and said he would take them to Yanjing to live a good life, but...

"They beat us and didn't give us food..." The boy lifted his clothes to reveal the scars all over his body. "They said they wanted to make us crippled so they could get more money. If we didn't want that, we should just go with them. Who knew we'd end up being sold..."

"I met Qianqian in Yanjing. She was only two years old then. I heard she was lured here from Xichuan! She was so young. When I met her, she couldn't even speak properly. She was used as a begging tool, begging around at the train station with a bowl..."

Song Zimo, who was driving, clenched his fists and his eyes turned red when he heard this.

When we arrived at the hospital, it was already daybreak.

Li Xiangnan arranged physical examinations for the children. On the steps in front of the hospital, he and Song Zimo and Guo Qian smoked pack after pack of cigarettes!

At noon, Qin Ruobai and Xu Qiluo came from the bureau. When they saw the children's appearance, tears suddenly came down.

"What a sin..." She choked and quickly distributed the clothes and food she brought to the children.

After examination, most of the children had superficial injuries, but a few were in serious condition.

Fang Qianqian had pneumonia. Due to long-term malnutrition and lack of treatment, she might have been beyond help if she had come a day later.

"All of them must be hospitalized for observation." Lei Jin explained the conditions of all the children. "Some of them may even need psychological intervention."

After a busy day of arranging all the children, Li Xiangnan felt heavy-hearted as he looked at the children sleeping soundly in the ward.

Although the children were rescued, the mysterious "Fourth Master" has not been apprehended yet, and judging from the old man's reaction, this criminal network may be even larger than imagined.

After dinner, Guo Qian hurried to the hospital, his face equally grave. "The investigation revealed that this is an interprovincial child trafficking ring. The old man is just a small-time ringleader, and there are bigger fish out there."

"That 'Fourth Master'?" Li Xiangnan asked.

Guo Qian nodded: "The old man refused to say anything even if he died, but when the name was mentioned, he was so scared that he trembled all over."

At this time, Xia Haiyang rushed in: "Brother Nan, look at today's newspaper!"

It was a copy of the Yanjing Evening News, with a piece of news prominently displayed on the front page: "Our city uncovered a major child trafficking gang and rescued more than 20 minors."

The report described the operation in detail, but did not mention the "Fourth Master" at all.

"Something's wrong." Li Xiangnan frowned. "How come it's already in the newspaper when the case hasn't been fully investigated yet?"

Guo Qian also frowned: "I didn't inform the media."

As he was speaking, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked into the hospital, followed by several reporters.

"I'm from the Civil Affairs Bureau," the man said, showing his work ID. "I'm here to take these children to the welfare home."

Ming Zhangju from the obstetrics and gynecology department hesitated: "But some children still need treatment..."

"The welfare home has an infirmary," the man in the suit insisted. "These children must be placed together."

Li Xiangnan felt something was wrong and stepped forward. "Excuse me, which department of the Civil Affairs Bureau are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The man's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "I was transferred here not long ago. This is my work ID, you can verify it."

Guo Qian took the work permit and looked at it. It seemed to be fine.

But Li Xiangnan noticed that the man's hands were shaking slightly.

At this moment, Xiong Wei suddenly screamed: "It's him! He is the 'uncle'! He gave us an injection! As long as the injection, we will fall into a coma!"

When he shouted like this, many children woke up.

When the children saw the man again, they were immediately frightened!

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

The man's face suddenly changed, and he turned around to run, but was held down by Guo Qian.

"Let me go! I'm a staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau!" the man shouted while struggling.

"You are showing off your skills in front of an expert! He has fabricated something right in front of us. Captain Guo, thoroughly investigate this guy!" Li Xiangnan said to Guo Qian.

In less than ten minutes, a call came to the home of Deputy Mayor Hu Jinbang.

Only twenty minutes later, the call from the Civil Affairs Bureau came back!

After verification, the work permit was found to be forged.

This man is not from the Civil Affairs Bureau at all!

What was even more terrifying was that a note was found on the man with an address and time written on it - this was exactly the place where they planned to receive these children!

The clues point to a deeper conspiracy.

I never expected that this criminal network had infiltrated government departments!

Li Xiangnan felt a chill.

It turns out that what they uncovered was just the tip of the iceberg.

Behind this seemingly ordinary case of child begging lies a huge criminal empire.

And the mysterious "Fourth Master" is probably hiding under some seemingly legitimate identity.

Night fell again, Li Xiangnan stood in front of the hospital window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the city.

Under every light, there may be a family crying for their lost child.

He clenched his fists.

This battle is far from over.

Guo Qian stood side by side with him, looking outside, full of doubts.

Those who dare to blatantly impersonate government employees are so bold. Does this mean that they are already accustomed to such behavior in their daily lives?

Being so confident can only mean that he has someone even bigger to rely on!

Who is behind it?

Is it the Fourth Master?
