When Xie Xuan got on the ship, he was wearing a white suit. In order to disguise himself, he specially wore a pair of plain glasses to look more elegant.
Xie Xuan bought a first-class ticket with a separate room.
Ma Tian led an action team in the room next to him.
In addition, there is a group of people who have gone to Foshan one day in advance. After them, there will be a group of people following them tomorrow.
In order to bring Wang Mingzhao's mother back to Shenpu safely, Xie Xuan made careful preparations.
Anyway, the personnel of the Secret Service Department were at his disposal, and the funds were not restricted. Ye Qing specially approved a certain amount of funds. Xie Xuan felt that this trip to Foshan should be very relaxing and comfortable.
However, while still waiting to board the boat, Xie Xuan discovered that there were several people on the boat who looked unusual.
Each of these people was accompanied by several children. Although they were fairly neatly dressed, their faces were sallow and their muscles were thin. At first glance, they looked like they were suffering from chronic malnutrition.
Moreover, those children always have evasive eyes, with timidity and fear of the unknown written on their faces.
At that time, Xie Xuan winked at Ma Tianqing and cooed at those people, asking him to keep an eye on them.
Not long after Xie Xuan returned to his room, Ma Tian arrived at his cabin: "Boss, those people are 'human traffickers' who are also 'moving rocks' and 'picking mulberry leaves'."
The so-called "yellow croaker" is a jargon term that refers to "human traffickers".
Human traffickers in Shenpu are very rampant, colluding with the police, patrols, embassy personnel and gangs.
Moreover, there are several types of human traffickers. One type specializes in selling boys, which is called "moving stones" in jargon.
There is also a business that specializes in selling girls, which is called "picking mulberry leaves" in jargon.
There are also those engaged in international human trafficking, known as "international passport traffickers."
At this time, China had just experienced a melee between warlords, followed by the Japanese invasion, and the people were in dire straits.
Many people have no way of living at all, and it is common for them to sell their children and daughters.
The human traffickers of today are a little different from the human traffickers of later generations. Today's human traffickers are upright traffickers, while those of later generations are mainly trafficking and deception, which are worse in nature and more infuriating.
Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "People are trafficked from the countryside to Shenpu, how come there are still people from Shenpu who are trafficked to other places? Oh, this is a boat to Guangzhou."
Every year, human traffickers go to the countryside and smuggle the children of poor farmers to Shenpu. The women are sold to foremen to work in factories as bonded labor or foster labor, or sold to wealthy businessmen as servants, and some are sold to old madams. Hualouqian sells and laughs at life.
In addition to selling the boy to the foreman, he may also be sold to Guangdong.
There is a custom among wealthy businessmen in Guangdong. In addition to their own adopted sons, they also like to adopt several boys and let them study.
In the future, whichever child is smart will be allowed to inherit the family business.
Therefore, these boys are likely to go to wealthy families.
Of course, that would be okay.
But after all, this is only the luck that a few people have. More people are also sold to factory foremans, or people who live their whole lives.
Ma Tian asked: "Should we call their heads over for questioning?"
Xie Xuan is the chief of Shenpu Police and the deputy director of the Secret Service Department. Others can't do anything to these human traffickers, but Xie Xuan can take care of them at any time.
Xie Xuan shook his head: "No need. You go and do your work. I'll go to the deck to get some air."
At this time, the ship had already sailed, and many people came to the deck and looked at the scenery on the shore.
Not everyone can often take a boat ride, and many of them are older girls getting on the sedan chair for the first time.
"sorry."
When Xie Xuan was about to go to an open place to smoke a cigarette, he suddenly bumped into someone. The man was holding a newspaper in his hand, wearing a civilized hat and a small suit. After saying something to Xie Xuan, Turn around and leave.
Xie Xuan took a step sideways and stood in front of the other party. He said with a half-smile, "I'm sorry and that's it?"
The man took a step back and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Xie Xuan stretched out his palm: "Girl, take it out."
At first glance, he thought she was a man, but upon closer inspection, he still saw tiny female features on her body. For example, she had no Adam's apple and her chest was larger than the average person.
Look at her hands again, they are slender, white and tender, like freshly dug white bamboo shoots.
"I'm not a girl, what did you ask me to take? I didn't take anything from you?"
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "You moved very quickly, but I still noticed it."
If it was a man, he would have already brought him in and handed him over to Ma Tian.
There are many robbers, thieves, pickpockets, etc. in Shenpu Shili Foreign Market. They have their own organizations, their own rules and activity areas.
For example, people like this in Shenpu are divided into local gangs, northern Jiangsu gangs, Anhui gangs, Zhejiang gangs, Guangdong gangs, etc.
According to what kind of money people eat, they are divided into "people who eat money for money", which are robbers.
There are also "match money eaters", which refers to pickpockets with nimble hands and feet.
There are also "snappers" who are sharp-eyed and quick-legged. This kind of people specializes in grabbing people's hats from outside the trams and buses when they are just starting to leave.
There are also "wheelers", which refers to stealing luggage and goods on the train.
In addition, there are those who work for independent gangs. They do not join gangs and are not good at it. They do their own thing.
The woman's movements were very fast. When the two of them collided just now, Xie Xuan's wallet disappeared.
If it had been anyone else, he probably wouldn't have noticed that he was missing something.
But who was Xie Xuan? He didn't even need to touch it to know that something was missing from him.
The woman said dissatisfiedly: "What did you notice?"
Xie Xuan sneered and said: "Since you missed it, you have to admit defeat. Do you know who I am? If you make me unhappy, you will throw him into the water later."
The woman pushed Xie Xuan and said unhappily: "I really didn't take anything from you. Why don't you take a look again and don't accuse people casually?"
Xie Xuan touched his pocket and found that his wallet was back. The woman's movement was so fast that he didn't notice it.
Seeing Xie Xuan take out his wallet, the woman was even more proud: "Your wallet is clearly in your pocket, but you wrongfully accuse others. You are a bad person."
Xie Xuan said coldly: "Sharp-tongued, come on, come with me."
"Why do you want to take me away?"
Xie Xuan showed his license: "That's all."
Seeing Xie Xuan's license, the woman's expression changed, and she had no choice but to follow Xie Xuan into the cabin.
Xie Xuan asked: "Who helped?"
"What gang?"
Xie Xuan sneered and said: "You still want to pretend to be stupid? Don't think that because you are a woman, I won't dare to take action. When we get to Guangzhou, I will send you to the police directly."
The woman whispered: "The Guangdong Gang."
Xie Xuan asked again: "What's your name?"
"Hou Xuelu."
"I think your last name is good, but you are like a monkey. Are you ready to get into trouble now, or do you want me to let you go?"
