Chapter 25
The commotion here quickly attracted several conductors. After Song Maoting explained the situation to the conductor, he picked up the woman who had fallen into the gap and got stuck.
"The children are here, and there is another one who was knocked unconscious by me."
Song Maoting explained while leading the conductor towards the connection between the carriages.
"I didn't expect that he was really a human trafficker."
"Yes, the child has been crying for a long time and has not stopped calling for mother."
"I thought the child was just hungry."
The people around were chattering and discussing.
"Fortunately, I caught him, otherwise he would have lost his child during the Chinese New Year, which would be a sin."
Song Maoting listened to the discussions around him. Human traffickers had broken many families. Fortunately, his daughter's words today made him discover something unusual.
"Okay, we understand the matter, but the local public security bureau may ask you to cooperate in recording a statement." The conductor said while looking at the fainted woman on the ground.
"Do you want to take a confession now?" Song Maoting was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, the police are already on their way."
The speaker was a man in military uniform: "Hello, I am Mo Xiangrong, the security director of Xushi Railway Station."
"We need your cooperation. Don't worry, we will prepare a car to take your family home tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll look for my family first." Song Maoting was sure to cooperate with the police unconditionally.
Speaking of family, Song Maoting remembered that his daughter was still in the toilet.
"Shi Shi, it's dad." Song Maoting knocked on the train toilet door.
After Lin Shi had been holding it in for so long, he finally heard Song Maoting's voice and immediately opened the door.
"Dad, if you are late, I will think you have lost Shi Shi." Lin Shi complained as soon as he went out to see the sun again.
"Is that little brother okay?" Lin Shi looked around and didn't feel relieved until he saw the detained woman.
"My little brother is fine, Shi Shi. Let's go back and pack our things first, and then go to the police station to record a statement."
Seeing that due to this unexpected incident, the train's stop in Xu City has exceeded the time limit. The longer the stop is, the more likely the train will be delayed.
The first priority is to get off the train first so as not to waste everyone's time.
Lin Shi nodded and followed Song Maoting back to his seat.
Lin Yin was still thinking about why it took so long for the father and daughter to go to the toilet, but when her husband came back, he immediately pulled her off the train.
Lin Yin and Song Qingyu got off the train with confused expressions on their faces.
"Hello, I am Mo Xiangrong, the security chief of Xushi Railway Station. Please cooperate with us. This is a comrade from the police station."
When Lin Yin got off the train, she saw a bunch of soldiers in military uniforms.
What's going on? I'm just going to the toilet, so why do I need to dispatch so many guards?
"That's right, we just interrogated one of the two traffickers in the car, and it was indeed them who abducted the child."
"And it's a mirage car just like you."
Lin Yin listened to Mo Xiangrong's words and asked, "Human trafficker?"
"Yes, your husband just arrested two human traffickers. We can't confirm whether there are any accomplices of the traffickers on the train."
As he spoke, Mo Xiangrong looked at Lin Yin's two children and continued: "I see that you also brought two children with you. We are afraid of revenge from accomplices on the train, so I can only ask you to cooperate in recording a confession. Tomorrow we will be in Xu City
Arrange a car to take you back to the capital."
"So that's it." Song Maoting sighed.
He almost forgot about the possibility of having accomplices. He had two children at home. If his accomplices really encountered revenge, Lin Shi and Song Qingyu might be in danger.
Lin Yin only learned what happened through Mo Xiangrong's explanation. She didn't expect that the father and daughter could catch two human traffickers in just the time it took them to go to the toilet.
"Captain Mo, we contacted Haishi. A person did call the police this morning and said that the child was missing at the train station. The approximate age information is correct and the parents are already on their way over."
"Okay, then we can probably get here tomorrow morning." Mo Xiangrong said, turning to Song Maoting and continued.
"Would it be convenient for you to go back to the police station with us and record a statement?"
Song Maoting nodded in agreement, and then took the whole family to the police station.
Lin Yin followed the whole process of recording the confession and found out that it was Lin Shi who was the first to notice the abnormality. If her daughter hadn't been careful, the child might not have been able to return home today.
After recording the confessions, the police station also finished interrogating the two traffickers.
Mo Xiangrong's guess was correct. There was another accomplice on the train, a man. The two traffickers were obviously not familiar with each other, and the other accomplice was probably watching them.
Seeing that they were discovered, they did not show up.
Perhaps because Song Maoting was tall and a former soldier, his accomplices noticed that Song Maoting attracted the attention of those around him, so they did not appear.
The two women originally worked in Haishi, but because they didn't make much money this year, when they usually complained, a fellow villager said that there would be a job at the end of the year that could make money, for a few hundred yuan at a time.
The two of them currently earn a monthly salary of just over 100, so they thought it would be good to earn more by doing it once when they return home.
However, the two of them did not expect that their fellow villagers were abducting and trafficking children, but because the offer was too much, they finally took action.
I just didn't expect that just this time, I would be caught.
Mo Xiangrong thought that it was fortunate that this was their first time of abduction, but Lin Shi happened to find it suspicious.
Fortunately, the two of them were not familiar with each other, so they told the police everything when they were interrogated.
Now the police know the identity of the accomplices, and also know that there are about six people in the group. The soldiers are divided into three groups of traffickers, and one group is heading to Guangzhou.
Mo Xiangrong knew it was a trafficking gang as soon as he heard it. It was very skilled and had a fixed staff. It was possible that there were not a few children being trafficked.
If this gang can be caught this time based on this information, many children can be saved.
Lin Shi listened to Mo Xiangrong telling them about the interrogation. Lin Shi was very glad that he had made the right decision.
It was already late at night after the confession was recorded, and Lin Shi's family checked into a hotel arranged by Mo Xiangrong. The abducted child was placed in the police station waiting for his family.
Xu City is not very far from the capital. Mo Xiangrong will send a car to take them back to the capital tomorrow. They will arrive in the capital in the afternoon if they leave in the morning.
After arriving at the hotel, I immediately called my grandmother in the capital because of this unexpected situation, saying that my return time would need to be delayed.
"Shi Shi, Qingyu, don't eat from strangers in the future, and don't walk around with strangers, do you understand?"
"Look at my little brother today. If he hadn't been discovered, he would never be able to return to his parents."
After making the call, Lin Yin thought about what happened today and felt that it was necessary to teach her daughter and son a lesson.
"I know." Lin Shi and Song Qingyu said in unison.
