Chapter 427 Captain: I want to hire a feng shui master for the bureau, but I don't dare...

The remaining children were finally found, but they were not in good condition. The county hospital was unable to accept so many sick and weak children at once. Fortunately, the county's armed forces department applied for and obtained a military truck retired from the military in the first half of the year, and drove it to the city overnight with the children.

Bai Nuo rode in his own car, while Yan Qingyun drove the bureau's car, one leading the way and the other bringing up the rear, sandwiching the large truck in between, escorting it all the way back to Beijing.

“There’s a problem!” Liu Yanan, who was in the same car as Bai Nuo, frowned and looked at Bai Nuo with a puzzled expression. “Among the human traffickers we just caught, we didn’t see any elderly people. Two of the eyewitnesses I brought back to the station this morning said they saw an old man take the child away, and three others said it was an old woman. Moreover, they were very certain that there was no sign of disguise. They had a head of white hair and were dressed in tattered clothes. You could tell at a glance that they were old men and women.”

The young man sitting in the passenger seat lit up when he heard this and turned to look at him: "Yes, I felt something was wrong just now. After hearing what the deputy captain said, I remembered that the two witnesses I brought back from the mountain brigade also said that on their way back to the village, they saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old carrying a child into the mountains. Later, they heard that a family in the next village had lost a child."

But I just observed that we arrested nine people in total, six men and three women. One of the three women looked to be in her thirties or forties, and the other was around twenty-five or twenty-six; they didn't look seventeen or eighteen at all.

"Could there still be some fugitives in the county?" Chen Hui glanced around, her brows furrowed.

Bai Nuo closed her eyes slightly and carefully reviewed what had happened in the county over the past two days. In addition, she had asked the big rats before leaving the sewers, and they all said they had not seen any other humans.

He shook his head: "Probably not. They went through the sewers to make a group transfer. They shouldn't leave two people behind. If one of them is caught, the other might be released. It's better to move together; the chances of escaping will be greater."

Liu Yanan nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Could it be that those human traffickers hired people temporarily to help steal the children?"

Liu Yanan had been a criminal police officer for more than two years. Although there weren't many human traffickers in Northeast China, they weren't nonexistent. It was just that the consequences of being caught were severe, which was why many human traffickers didn't want to risk going there.

Moreover, in the human trafficking case she previously helped Fang Meng and An Yun crack in Shenyang, several of the people involved had done the same thing.

"Take me back to meet those witnesses. Whether they are true or not, we'll know once they've drawn their portraits."

Liu Yanan immediately nodded: "That's right, any of those beasts who steal children will not get away."

On the way back, because there were wounded people, children, and several drugged human traffickers on the truck, the speed was not fast. It was almost dawn when Bai Nuo and the others had just arrived in Beijing. As soon as they stepped into Beijing, two vehicles sent by the hospital were already waiting by the roadside. The two sides quickly handed over their personnel and then went their separate ways.

Bai Nuo had Chen Hui drive the car directly to the branch office. On the way back, the few of them who could drive took turns driving, and everyone dozed off for an hour or two. The case hadn't been officially solved yet, so no one could relax. They immediately started their respective work.

Liu Yanan took Bai Nuo to meet the eyewitnesses. Half an hour later, she came out with several freshly drawn portraits and handed them directly to the second team to find the people.

"So, did you give up?"

Bai Nuo walked over and saw Yan Qingyun standing at the door, sulking, and the captain with a cold face who looked like he wanted to shoot someone.

The little girl blinked and twitched her lips: "Okay, I understand!"

She looked up at Qiu Jun again and asked, "How about I give it a try?"

Torture, that was her favorite game in her past life, but she was afraid that people in this world wouldn't be able to accept it!

Yan Qingyun looked at Bai Nuo with a puzzled expression and asked a particularly irritating question: "How do you try it, by stabbing them with a pencil?"

"I'll stab you with a pencil!" Bai Nuo rolled her eyes speechlessly, then looked around before leaning close to the captain and whispering, "Captain, I have a way to get them to talk, but... the methods might be a little unkind, what do you think..."

Qiu Jun looked at Bai Nuo expressionlessly. Seeing the little girl looking at him with an innocent yet expectant expression, he pursed his lips and said seriously, "You can't kill her!"

"Don't worry, you definitely won't die!"

"We can't cripple her. I finally managed to persuade Ling Yao to leave, so you can't do anything reckless with her."

Qiu Jun recalled how Ling Yao had just strolled over with a scalpel, and after learning that those beasts were stubborn and wouldn't say anything, she went in and was about to dismantle their thigh bones. He was so frightened that he quickly pulled her out.

Those are prisoners, not pigs. As public security officers, how can you just break someone's leg bones like that?

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, looking obedient and honest. But after being colleagues for half a year, Qiu Jun was the one who took Bai Nuo on the most police missions. He knew this girl's true nature all too well. She was really cunning and wicked, and ruthless and evil.

When they were arresting another man who had murdered his wife, the man didn't know what had gotten into this girl. When they went to arrest him, she recklessly charged at the first person and ran incredibly fast. By the time he and his men arrived, she was straddling the man, one hand on his head, the other holding a pair of pliers and pulling out his teeth, blood splattering everywhere.

At the time, he was wondering why the other person, a big man, didn't resist. Good heavens... when he pulled him up, he found that his hands and feet had been broken by this tiger girl.

To prevent the general affairs department from having any excuse to cause trouble, the director publicly fined her a month's salary. And what happened? The very next day, this silly girl dragged Ling Yao to the Friendship Store and they each bought a leather jacket that cost nearly two hundred yuan.

Just as Bai Nuo was about to push open the interrogation room door, Qiu Jun's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed her collar and said wistfully, "Girl, we don't use the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Qing Dynasty. Those things are considered 'trash,' and if they're discovered, it could bring disaster. Our bureau chief isn't young anymore. Let's be filial and let him live a couple more years."

Qiu Jun suddenly realized that their branch office must not have secretly consulted a feng shui master when choosing the location, otherwise, how could the female officers in their criminal investigation team be so frightening?

Bai Nuo twitched her lips and looked at Qiu Jun speechlessly: "Don't worry, Captain. I have a lot of youth ahead of me, how could I possibly ruin myself for a few beasts? Relax, relax!"

Patting the captain on the shoulder, Bai Nuo turned around, pushed open the door, and went inside. In the instant the door closed, he pulled a small but sharp knife from his pocket.
