According to common practice, for safety reasons, even if the two colleagues are too sleepy and want to rest, they should contact the local police and send the suspect to the nearest police station for temporary detention. As the shop owner said, it was "the first time that Zhou Yongzhe saw a police officer bring a suspect to a hotel."
Next, the shop owner's words made Zhou Yongzhe even more suspicious: "When did you get the idea to gag the suspect? I saw on TV that you could only put a hood on someone and gag the suspect." What do you mean? It doesn’t look like they are escorting a suspect. If they hadn’t been wearing green leather, I would have thought they were kidnapping.”
What is the situation with these two colleagues, and why do they look so "amateur" in everything?
So, with the cooperation of the shop owner, Zhou Yongzhe opened the double room where two men and one woman lived in the name of ward inspection.
In the room, a piece of cloth was stuffed into the mouth of a young woman. She was lying on her side on a bed in the back. She must be Ma Ling'er. When she saw several uniformed police officers standing at the door, her eyes were full of confusion. Numb, indifferent.
Two men in police uniforms were sitting on a bed near the door. Their eyes were unhappy at first, even angry. After seeing several "comrades" standing at the door, their eyes clearly turned to panic.
Zhou Yongzhe took in all this, but remained calm as usual and stepped forward to shake hands with the two men one by one: "Which unit do you two comrades belong to?"
The older man rolled his eyes: "We are from the city bureau."
Zhou Yongzhe smiled: "I'm from the Jinshi Town Police Station. Zhou Yongzhe, Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau, are you okay?"
The two immediately laughed and said that Deputy Director Zhou was good at everything.
Zhou Yongzhe smiled even more happily, but suddenly his smile faded and his expression was cold: "Handcuff me!"
The two men and one woman were taken to the police station overnight.
You won’t know until you go to trial, but you will be shocked at first trial.
It wasn't until she entered the police station that Ma Ling'er's eyes regained some clarity. After repeatedly confirming the police identities of Zhou Yongzhe and others, she began to tell her own experience:
Three days ago, she and a fellow villager named Ma Xi went to the labor market in Yancheng to look for work, and met a couple who claimed to be in the medicinal materials business.
Later, the innocent Ma Ling'er and Ma Xi were coaxed into a rental house by the couple, who said they would go back to have a meal first and then take them to see the medicinal materials warehouse.
In the rental house, Ma Ling'er and Ma Xi drank a cup of tea, and then fell asleep. When they woke up, they found that their hands were handcuffed behind their backs, their feet were tied, and they were sitting in a "police car." "inside.
The "police car" first drove into a mountain nest. In this unknown place, Ma Xi was "picked away". It was also at this time that Ma Ling'er was sure that the "police" in front of her was fake, and that both she and Ma Xi had been abducted.
Afterwards, the "police car" drove out of the den. As for its next destination, Ma Ling'er had no idea, but no matter where she went, she felt disheartened by her upcoming fate. Two men in "police uniforms" were driving a "police car". No matter who they were, they would regard them as "policemen", which made her completely lose hope of seeking help.
When she arrived at Jinshi Town, she treated Zhou Yongzhe and others who suddenly appeared, as if they were associates of the traffickers.
Two men pretended to be police officers, the older one was named Zhao Shirang and the other was named Zhao Xianjun.
The two confessed that they were responsible for transporting trafficked women. The reason why they pretend to be "police" is because it is "safe". Even if the victim cries and makes a fuss or calls for help during the transfer, their "police" identity will be covered up.
The couple who deceived Ma Ling'er and Ma Xi were named Zhao Li and Zhang Xiaoxia. The two of them deceived young women in labor markets, train stations, etc. in four cities in the province under various pretexts, such as selling clothes, reselling medicinal materials, prostitutes, etc.
"Who provided the buyer's address?" Zhou Yongzhe continued to dig deeper.
Neither Zhao Shirang nor Zhao Xianjun had the courage to "fight the police to the end". After a moment of hesitation, they named a person: "Zhao Liangcai..."
"Zhao Shirang, Zhao Xianjun, and Zhao Li, your ID card addresses are all in Zhaojiacun. Is this Zhao Liangcai also from Zhaojiacun?"
Zhao Shirang said "Yeah" dejectedly.
Under Zhou Yongzhe's questioning, Zhaojiacun's crimes and basic organizational structure were quickly revealed.
This is a wholesale market that abducts, shelters, and traffics women.
There are more than a dozen teams of two to three people like Zhao Shirang and Zhao Xianjun responsible for transshipment. The members are all men. They are all assigned to a team called Zhao Chuanzong. Their team is highly mobile and connects with two to three abduction teams, responsible for picking up and transporting the victimized women from the abduction teams.
This time, after they followed the instructions and gave Ma Xi to the "buyer", they originally planned to transfer Ma Ling'er back to Zhaojiacun, but who knew that something like this happened halfway.
There are nearly forty groups of men and women like Zhao Li and Zhang Xiaoxia who form a couple, or a woman and a woman, and deceive women under various names. The person in charge is called Zhao Jinming. As for the one named Zhao Liangcai, he also has a group of people under his command. Mainly responsible for contacting “buyers” and “opening up markets”.
The criminal group is dominated by Zhao Liangcai, supplemented by Zhao Chuanzong and Zhao Jinming.
In this village, almost every family is directly or indirectly involved in the trafficking of women. Many people take the abducted women as their wives, and some even bought three women to be their wives.
Obviously, this is an organized criminal group that traffics women. It is said that they also purchased a lot of guns and ammunition and had a certain amount of armed force.
This is obviously not a case that a small police station can handle.
When the higher-level public security departments received the news, they exploded.
Individual human traffickers are easy to catch, but it is difficult to wipe out the entire "human trafficking industry chain".
It is not difficult to see from the confessions of Zhao Shirang and Zhao Xianjun that their organizational structure is more "rigorous" than that of an ordinary company. "Abducting" and "selling" are strictly separated. Different people identify the target, transport the girl, harbor the girl, and contact the buyer.
In addition, Zhaojiacun has also become a "transit station", which is the so-called "human trafficking wholesale market". In addition to the people responsible for abducting and transporting women, there will also be other traffickers who "sell" the girls. Come here, and then carry out hiding and reselling here. Second- and third-level dealers from nearby villages and towns all come here to pick up their goods.
This makes it particularly difficult to achieve a "catch all" arrest.
The leadership team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau held a meeting overnight and came up with the first plan: not to disturb Zhaojia Village for the time being, organize forces to operate secretly, clear the periphery, collect clues, and then concentrate their efforts to attack Huanglong and catch them all.
But this plan was quickly rejected. Because criminal suspects in the periphery are too scattered and highly mobile, taking Zhao Li and Zhang Xiaoxia as examples, they are in the labor market today and may go to the station tomorrow, so it is difficult to track their whereabouts. Moreover, the police only know that there are more than a dozen such groups, but who they are is currently unknown.
Zhao Shirang and Zhao Xianjun didn't know anything about this, which shows that the criminal group also takes precautions against peripheral members, in order to prevent their collective destruction due to the arrest of a few people.
This leaves us with the second plan of "straight punch": directly annihilate Zhaojiacun, seize core members such as Zhao Liangcai, Zhao Jinming, and Zhao Chuanzong, and then obtain the list of peripheral members, division of labor, and general activities from them The scope includes the relevant situations of first-tier dealers, second-tier dealers and third-tier dealers.
However, this plan has many drawbacks and is not considered a good idea: Zhao Liangcai and other three core members may not be in Zhaojia Village. Even if they happen to be in the village and they are all blamed by the police, such a big movement will definitely alert the outsiders. The members fled after hearing the news.
The first plan is not feasible, and the second plan is a "tasteless" plan that cannot ensure that the police can "catch" the entire criminal group.
The bureau leadership team argued all night and still couldn't make a decision, but the director suddenly had an idea and came up with the third plan of "treating the other person in return":
Since this gang of damned human traffickers can pretend to be police officers to abduct and transport victims, the police can pretend to be "people buyers" and approach the core members of this criminal group, and then secretly arrest Zhao Liangcai, Zhao Jinming, Zhao Chuanzong, or one of them.
Next, obtain relevant information about the peripheral members from their mouths as quickly as possible, and finally use a two-pronged approach, while attacking from all directions to arrest the peripheral members, while concentrating on clearing out the criminal den in Zhaojiacun, and truly "catching them all in one sweep."
The municipal bureau’s action plan has received full support from the ministry and provincial public security departments.
The police arranged for a foreign policeman named Tang Bangguo to pretend to be a "purchaser" who "came here because of his reputation", and through Zhao Shirang's introduction, he contacted one of Zhao Liangcai's subordinates, named Zhao Hongwei.
The members of the Zhaojia Village criminal group are basically from the village, and they refuse to admit outsiders into the group.
During the phone call, Zhao Hongwei was initially quite suspicious of Zhao Shirang's sudden statement that he would introduce a "buyer" to him, because Zhao Shirang often "takes private jobs", that is, privately trafficking people without going through criminal groups. The abduction, transportation, contact, and sales of this "private job" were all completed by him alone.
It wasn't until Zhao Shirang said that this "buyer" wanted to buy at least three at a time that Zhao Hongwei eliminated his suspicion. The quantity was so large that Zhao Shirang could not swallow it.
The first transaction between Tang Bangguo and Zhao Hongwei was completed in a mountain valley a few kilometers away from Zhaojia Village. Each party brought a few people and drove two cars, handing over money and handing over people. Within a few minutes, the transaction was completed. Transaction completed. Zhao Hongwei did not set the transaction location in Zhaojiacun, which shows that they are still on guard.
Half a month later, Tang Bangguo found Zhao Hongwei again and said that he wanted to buy 5 this time and hoped to go to the village to choose.
