Chapter 9 Traffickers
"Xiaoqi, as you told me, I asked my brothers to go through the bottom of the Qi family and found a very interesting place. The Qi family registered its industry in the yamen is cloth production and sales. There is a large dyed cloth stall sixty miles away from the outskirts of the city, and there are more than 700 registered workers. I took a few brothers over and found that the cloth stall was very strange."
"Tell me carefully."
There were a few simple wine and dishes in front of Shen Hao, and he was eating while listening to Wang Jian’s report.
"Generally speaking, the more skilled the cloth stalls are, the more popular it is. The longer the cloth stalls are opened, the more skilled the ones will be. However, more than half of the cloth stalls in Qijia are apprentices."
Shen Hao didn't say anything. He knew Wang Jian's ability. Things could not be that simple, and there must be a follow-up.
Sure enough, Wang Jian continued: "The apprentices are not all around Wuyang City. The nearest ones are from the mountainous area of Haixiao, and some are even farther away, even outside the Kundao Pass. And they are all between thirteen and sixteen years old, all of whom are half young.
I checked the monthly list of the distribution files. Except for those skilled workers, all apprentices have changed greatly, and they will basically change in batches in three months.
According to the skilled workers in the cloth file, the reason why the apprentices change frequently is mainly because the boss asks them to go to other cloth file towns. However, although the Qi family has a big business, there is not so many cloth file, so there is no need for so many workers. And I have never heard of the Qi family sending workers to other cloth files.
Then why is the Qi family so tirelessly recruiting new apprentices?”
Why?
"I suspect that the Qi family is recruiting workers in public, but behind their backs, they are engaged in human traffickers."
"Human traffickers? Where is the channel? Where is the traffickers going? Once every three months, there are so many people every time. It is impossible to keep the fire for a long time. This is illogical." Shen Hao shook his head and said that this speculation was somewhat inappropriate.
"Xiaoqi, you said that when we investigate cases, we must make bold guesses and be careful to verify. I think the activities that Qi family does are probably not ordinary human traffickers."
"oh?"
Shen Hao continued to eat and drink, and saw Wang Jian take out an account book from his arms, turn to one of the pages and put them on the table, and signal him to take a look.
Then Wang Jian continued, "Little Flag, please see, this is the Yin-Yang Account Book I dug out from Qijia before. There is a kind of goods sold in the unit of "alcohol" and has no name. Every three months, Qijia will sell thirty jars of things, making a profit of 300,000 taels. This thing is probably not more expensive than gold."
"So what? What does this kind of thing have to do with those apprentices?"
"Xiaoqi, I suspect that these "altars" contain the blood of those apprentices. The Qi family is not only a human trafficker but also a vicious human blood trafficker!"
Human blood trafficker? This made Shen Hao put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand.
"Xiaoqi, this is not something I guessed out of thin air. I have two reasons. One is the suspicious points I just told you, and the other is the prohibited materials in the Qijia warehouse I found before. At noon, I asked someone to check the origin of the prohibited materials and found that it was almost the same as the raw materials for making a kind of evil thing called "yin tofu". The only thing that is missing is "boy blood", which happened to connect with the disappearing apprentices in the cloth file...
Therefore, I think the Qi family is not only doing human traffickers behind their backs, but also killing innocent people, creating and selling evil things."
Shen Hao frowned when he heard this. Although Wang Jian’s reasoning was a bit pretentious, there was no problem with logic and key nodes, which means that this is a high probability "possibility".
Moreover, thinking of the small fragment of evil talisman that he had found in Qi's kitchen before, Shen Hao felt that part of the fog on the case seemed to have dissipated.
After standing up and walking for a long time, Shen Hao made a decision.
Since the case has a main attack direction, it is best to be more direct to avoid recurrence.
Shen Hao said to Wang Jian seriously: "Wang Jian, follow the rules and immediately issue a "martial law order" to the Wuyang City yamen, asking them to send people to take care of Wuyang City inside and outside, and then you go to the garrison overnight to apply for one hundred ordinary soldiers to come over. I have a premonition that there is still something behind the Qi family.
Also, the more frequent contacts with the Qi family, the more you should not let go. Not only should you check the background clearly, but you should also understand the social circle of these people. Once you find a doubt, take measures immediately. Remember not to miss one person!
In addition, there should be traces of various business transactions in the yin and yang account book of Qijia. These should be sorted out and handed over to the ward office filing department for filing, so that they can coordinate with colleagues from other offices to help investigate.
Also, go to "Fengyuan Inn" and let them list all the information about the guests staying in the hotel in the past half month, focusing on whoever comes into contact with homeless people often..."
Not only did Shen Hao make arrangements for Wang Jian's judgment, but he also explained the information he found about Xie Shan, Ma Jiu and Chen Erniu.
Wang Jian was in a hurry to leave.
Sitting back on the chair, he grabbed the wine pot on the table and took a bite. Shen Hao looked at the gloomy Qi Mansion Atrium and said to himself: "Motivation, I still haven't found the motivation. But I feel that it shouldn't be too far away."
......
The third day after the incident.
Just when Wang Jian was so busy that he was not touching the ground, Shen Hao returned to Licheng alone and entered the Xuanqing garrison. He needed to report the progress of the case to Chen Tianwen, the general bannerman.
However, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the garrison, he met a person who made Shen Hao a little annoyed.
Wu Qing, a small banner official in the B group of Banner A, is a real family member. His father and the family member are old friends. Relying on this relationship, they always like to be domineering in the garrison, and have never dealt with Shen Hao.
"Oh, Shen Hao, are you busy again? I heard that you just finished your previous case and took on a new case? Are you using you as a cow? Tsk tsk, aren't you afraid of you suddenly dying?"
"Wu Xiaoqi, you won't have to worry. I have something to do, don't wait." Shen Hao was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, and walked over to the other party.
"Tsk, this rusty guy..." Wu Qing looked at Shen Hao's back and seemed to suddenly think of something. His eyes rolled and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
......
In Chen Tianwen's public room.
After listening to Shen Hao's report, Chen Tianwen's face was not only surprised, but also a rare joy. This time he encountered a big case. Not only did he find that the evil Yin Talisman was very likely to be related to that group of people at the crime scene, but he also found a Qi family who might have sex with him behind his back, who might have been "killing innocent people in circles and selling evil things."
Seeing that the case was still a few days away, Chen Tianwen felt that if this matter was done properly, he would be able to show his face at the meeting, which was great news for him.
