Chapter 208 Life is actually just a journey of illusion.
Yunqi is eloquent and persuasive, answering questions flawlessly.
Yan Wenying did nothing but cry foul and pretend to be stupid. It wasn't until Tian Guoqiang and Deng Xiuzhen appeared in front of her, with Yan Shuibing, Yan Xiaohong and others in handcuffs behind them, that she went limp and collapsed to the ground, unable to keep up the act any longer.
Especially after Yun Qi was led past, Yan Wenying's face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to confess.
“Zhou Chunying, you can choose not to speak, but…” Tian Guoqiang paused, then smiled contemptuously and said, “Whether you can get leniency depends on yourself. You only have this one chance. Once someone else speaks first, you'll miss your chance. Think it over carefully. Remember, the evidence is conclusive now. Even if you don't speak, you can still be sentenced, whether it's lenient or severe…”
Hmph! Hmph!
Tian Guoqiang snorted twice, then turned and left with his men.
"Director Tian, I confess! I confess everything!" Before they had even taken a few steps, Yan Shuibing and Yan Xiaohong couldn't wait to try to get leniency.
They knew in their hearts that if they didn't receive leniency, they were doomed. After all, kidnapping, murdering, and trafficking law enforcement officers was a very serious offense.
Upon hearing Yan Shuibing and the others' words, Yan Wenying, who had been gritting her teeth, suddenly raised her head and said repeatedly: I confess! I confess everything!
"Interrogate them separately and see who truly confesses voluntarily and who confesses most thoroughly!" Tian Guoqiang ordered.
The three of them then explained their questions.
The first thing Tian Guoqiang and his team discovered was that Zhou Chunying had been a human trafficker. When she tried to abduct Yao Chenchen, she was sold by Yao Chenchen instead.
At the time, there were many debt collectors, and Yao Chenchen dared not go home, so she used Zhou Chunying's ID card.
The two were about the same age, so no one questioned it.
Selling Zhou Chunying gave Yao Chenchen a taste of success, so she started doing it full-time.
Yan Shuibing and Yan Xiaohong were among her downlines. They sold women and children, and even men when asked. The women were sold to the mountains, and the men to small coal mines. The villagers were unaware of this. Even his parents thought they were honest, simple people who could be bullied.
They never introduce villagers to go out, let alone take them out, but they know when the villagers go out, and then they intercept them on the way, drug them, and take them directly to their destination.
Yan Wenying was also one of the victims. She planned to go out to work and earn money to repay everyone's debts. However, shortly after leaving the village, Yan Wenying was drugged by Yan Shuibing and his gang and sent to Zhou Chunying (also known as Yao Chenchen).
Using Zhou Chunying's ID card to change her identity, Yao Chenchen had gotten into the habit of collecting those people's ID cards.
Soon after, a crackdown began. Yao Chenchen realized that many human traffickers knew the name Zhou Chunying. Fearing trouble, she thought of Yan Wenying, who was an orphan, and used her ID card.
Her presence at the job market was a disguise; in reality, she was there to find women and children she could sell.
She was a convincing actress, and she knew exactly who she could and couldn't mess with. That's why, despite working with Li Xiaomei for so long, Li Xiaomei never noticed anything amiss, and it was even harder for others to detect.
She couldn't remember how many people she had sold or where they had gone. Only the pile of ID cards she had hidden sent chills down the spines of the police officers: How many had she sold?
Interrogating Yunqi would be much more troublesome. As a criminal police captain, his counter-investigation and interrogation skills are top-notch.
"Yunqi, are you sure you don't want to be honest?" Tian Guoqiang looked at Yunqi calmly.
This gaze made Yun Qi hesitate for a moment, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Maintaining an innocent expression, he said, "Director Tian, I really don't understand what you're talking about. My character and my work over the years are evident to everyone..."
Tian Guoqiang didn't say anything more, only gave Yun Qi a deep look, then turned and left.
He was just following protocol this time and didn't need Yunqi to confess anything.
The case has been investigated and clarified. After discovering the dismemberment of Liu Youzhen, he noticed something unusual and immediately reported the situation to the provincial authorities.
Following Qin Yanlin's disappearance, the city dispatched special police, but they couldn't find any clues, which further confirmed his judgment. He reported to his superiors again and proposed his plan.
As a result, the city's special police officers kept an eye on the alleys of West Street, while people secretly sent from the province quietly observed the movements of various forces in Shenzhen.
In order to capture them all, Tian Guoqiang and his team risked their lives. In the end, they obtained a large amount of substantial evidence.
At the same time, a large number of trafficked women and children were rescued, including the real Yan Wenying.
As Zhang Liuying walked out the door and looked at the sky outside, she felt as if she were dreaming: Was she really free?
Thinking of the drug the police officer mentioned, she couldn't help but shudder: there really are drugs in the world that make people obedient, do things according to instructions, and then have no memory of them afterward!
Be extra careful from now on! Don't smell anything offered by strangers, and don't go to unfamiliar places with strangers.
Deng Xiuzhen suffered quite a bit on this trip, but fortunately she was sensible and did not suffer any serious physical damage. After a few days of rest, she recovered about 70-80%.
Qin Yanlin suffered some brain damage due to excessive use of sedatives. He saw a doctor, who prescribed some medication and said that he needed to recover slowly and couldn't rush it.
Deng Xiuzhen was a little anxious, so she consulted a famous doctor and the conclusion was similar: she should be able to recover, but it would take time.
Looking at the dazed and confused Qin Yanlin, Deng Xiuzhen suddenly realized: life is actually just a vain journey. Everyone has their own suffering to endure.
Qin Yanlin is destined to suffer. In his past life, he was an ordinary person who worked hard and died young. In this life, he is not short of money, but he is either sold or cheated. This time, he was even drugged into a mentally impaired state.
But where do these sufferings come from? Perhaps this is the cycle of fate, and everything is predetermined.
What is the destiny of one's own family in this lifetime?
A deep sense of powerlessness swept over Deng Xiuzhen, and she fell into a state of self-doubt.
Even when Wenjing and the others came home and the family was together in a lively atmosphere, she could only appear happy on the surface, but inside she was always under pressure.
After the children returned to school, she mostly stared blankly at Qin Yanlin, her mind empty, yet she would always sigh for no apparent reason.
"Boss Deng, when are you coming to work? That old man from the alley in West Street called again. Should we send him to work?" Zhang Liuying's call pulled Deng Xiuzhen out of her daze.
