Chapter 101 Call the Police
The reed marsh was desolate in winter, with only the sound of waves surging on the river. Occasionally, cargo ships passed by in the center of the river. There were no man-made paths in the reed marsh. The two of them walked forward, holding on to the dry reeds, until they saw the illegal building not far away. Jiang Shuya looked around and found a small boat behind the illegal building. The oars were covered by the falling snow and thrown aside, which made her think that the bridge was strictly checking the transportation of building materials by trucks during this period, and the old man Chen's house was built at such a critical juncture. He must have used that boat to row to the other side of the river and secretly transported all the building materials here to build the house.
The cold wind was howling, the heavy snow was falling from the sky, and the bright moon had disappeared in the gloom. Suddenly, a beam of light shone directly on the road in front of the illegal building on the shore. It was the headlights of a car. Lin Moxiao grabbed Jiang Shuya and said, "Hurry up and squat. The car is here."
The two were still some distance away from the illegal building. They were surrounded by tall reeds, squatting down and holding their breath, observing every move on the shore through the gaps in silence. Not long after, the car slowly approached and stopped there. It was exactly as they had guessed in the previous life, but there was no direct conflict with Huang Tao at that time, and there was no revengeful mentality. However, those children suffered a lot. They were used by these unscrupulous people to gain benefits, and no one knew where they were going.
A man got out of the car. Jiang Shuya recognized Huang Tao from the way he walked by looking at him carefully. He was holding a flashlight, perhaps for cover. He waved the light around before walking into the reed marsh, as if he was being very cautious, shining it back and forth.
Sun Qi was closest to the shore, lying there motionless, his legs probably almost frozen. Seeing the people on the shore looking down at him with flashlights again and again, his heart was in his throat, afraid that he would be discovered before he even took any action.
After standing for a long time, Huang Tao went in another direction and even went to check out Old Man Chen's fish pond.
The two of them continued to bend forward. Jiang Shuya had layers of cold sweat on her forehead. She was carefully pulled by Lin Moxiao and did not dare to say a word.
After Huang Tao came back, he said something to the people in the car, then took out the key from his pocket, walked to the door of the illegal building, unlocked it, the car lights on the road were turned off, and there was silence all around. After a while, the quiet car door was gently opened, with deliberate force. A burly man came down so gently that his black fur coat was particularly conspicuous and he wore a grey knitted hat. He naturally took a child handed over from the person inside, about three or four years old, and was hugged by that person. Then another person came down wearing a dark red cotton jacket and the same knitted hat on his head, holding what looked like a quilt. Two more people came down, each holding a child in their hands. The oldest one was about five years old, exactly three children.
Jiang Shuya stared intently, counting in her mind, recalling the clothes the boys were wearing. Two of them were wearing different clothes from what was in the newspaper, but they were about the same age. Their faces were too far away to be seen clearly, but one of them was the same as in the photo in the newspaper, wearing a black clover down jacket. Jiang Shuya recognized it at a glance.
Several people carrying children walked into the illegal building and the door was closed.
Jiang Shuya, who was hiding in the reeds, stuck her head out and was about to step forward: "There is a window behind the house. I'll go take a look."
Lin Moxiao held her back and said, "The most important thing now is to sneak into the van and take out the key. They are very alert and will drive away immediately if they find you. I'll go over and take a look."
Jiang Shuya said anxiously: "I have to go and see what those three children look like."
Lin Moxiao said solemnly: "Why should we look at it? They brought three children here in the middle of the night, in the wilderness, and placed them in an empty illegal building. They must be the child trafficking gang."
As the two were arguing, they saw Sun Qi bending forward and carefully crawling towards the back of the house not far away. There was a slope on it, but he climbed up two steps and then slipped down again.
Jiang Shuya took a deep breath, her heart suddenly tensed up: "This is too dangerous. If the people inside come out and get close, we can have a face-to-face encounter. Hey! This Sun Qi, I don't know what danger is."
Lin Moxiao's eyebrows tightened. "What are you underestimating? Call the police right away. Before they come out, I'll sneak over to look for the key. If I can't find it, I'll find a way to damage the car."
Jiang Shuya quickly took out her cell phone and dialed 110. After a while, a series of prompt voice messages appeared. She kept her eyes on Sun Qi and watched him finally get ashore and look into the room.
The other party finally answered the phone. Jiang Shuya didn't dare to speak loudly. She spoke slowly and clearly, word by word: "Hello, I am a villager from Xixia Village. I found several criminals holding three children hostage in an illegal building not far from Lao Chen Fishpond by the river. They seemed to be the children who were lost in Wuhe County. Their movements were strange and very suspicious. Please ask the police to come here immediately. The criminals are here."
There was an immediate response from inside, and the specific location was confirmed. They gave a positive answer and would immediately summon the police, who would arrive in about half an hour. Jiang Shuya frowned when she heard this. Today was a day of bad weather, and there was no way that group of people could be so fast. By the time they arrived, it would be too late, and those people might have already run away. Lin Moxiao's method was right, he should find a way to delay them.
Sun Qi looked inside intermittently from outside the window. The three children were placed in quilts on the ground, and they seemed to be asleep. Sun Qi tried hard to recall the appearance of the children in the newspaper. After observing for a long time, he suddenly became excited and almost shouted out loud. Finally, he had matched them. Yes, it was them.
At this time, Lin Moxiao had already passed through the reed marsh and reached the shore very quickly. Looking at his nimble figure, Jiang Shuya was a little dazed. She grabbed the reeds in front of her tightly, and her palms were sweating. She knew that she could not help. She had an idea but not the real ability. She brought the two of them into this dangerous situation, and she felt uneasy in her heart.
At this moment, a man suddenly walked out of the illegal building. Jiang Shuya's heart skipped a beat. Lin Moxiao had appeared in front of the car. The man walked to the back of the car, but stood there without moving. Lin Moxiao was only the distance between him and the car. He heard the sound of water flowing on the ground. It turned out that the man was relieving himself. After a while, the man walked into the car with satisfaction, opened the door, and got in. Maybe it was too cold in the house, so he hid in the car to find warmth. Lin Moxiao did not move, and was extremely calm. He held his breath, turned around and walked to the front of the car, opened the door, and his thick dark eyebrows twitched. The man was dozing off on the seat.
