Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

They simultaneously contacted the police in the districts and counties where these individuals are currently located, asking for their cooperation.

That night, Luo Fei and the others couldn't afford to rest. Together with more than forty officers temporarily called in, they set out to various locations to carry out the apprehension operations.

The arrests had been confirmed in advance with the local police, so the operations went relatively smoothly.

Add to that the fact that these suspects hadn't heard anything beforehand, many only realized they'd been cuffed before they occurred to them they'd been forgotten...

After two consecutive days of traveling, all thirteen suspects were successfully brought back to Jiangzhou City.

However, due to the sheer number, bringing them all back to the criminal police squad wouldn't fit them.

So, after gaining everyone's consent, Zhao Donglai distributed most of them to several police stations that helped this time to assist with the interrogation.

Once all the people involved in the case were detained, everyone suddenly had even more tasks on hand.

Even so, Zhao Donglai still let them leave early, advising them to go home and get a good night's sleep, and continue working tomorrow.

The consecutive days of traveling had left everyone exhausted, almost falling asleep as soon as they got home.

Luo Fei was no exception; he came back, ate a quick meal, and went to rest.

After a night's rest, the next morning everyone was revitalized.

Due to Luo Fei's workaholic behavior, by seven forty, everyone was already sitting at their desks.

Without anyone directing them, they began to seamlessly continue their previous work, those investigating continued investigating, those verifying continued verifying...

When Zhao Donglai arrived at work, what he saw was a scene of everyone working diligently at their tasks.

He was very pleased with this.

He then called Luo Fei and Yang Su into his office.

"After letting them stew for two days, it's about time we proceed to interrogate Shu An Country and the other one again."

Zhao Donglai said, "However, this time we'll switch it up, Luo Fei, you team up with Zhang Fan to interrogate Shu An Country, Yang Fan and I will handle Ning Shaobin."

"Alright."

The group instantly got into action.

Soon, Luo Fei and Zhang Fan walked into Shu An Country's interrogation room holding a stack of thick files.

Compared to the last time, this time their preparation obviously seemed more thorough.

After sitting down, Luo Fei directly asked, "Shu An Country, have you thought it over, aren't you planning to confess yet?"

Shu An Country sat in the interrogation chair, haggard and weary.

It was clear he'd been through significant torment these past two days.

Such torment wasn't solely physical but psychological as well.

Being locked in, completely disconnected from the outside world, was inherently unsettling.

And since the police interrogated him once initially and not again, he couldn't help but wonder if they didn't plan to interrogate him again, just finalize his conviction straight away.

As time passed, this thought grew stronger, and he became more anxious.

Previously, he didn't want the police to interrogate him; now, he was desperate for them to do so.

So when he saw Luo Fei and Zhang Fan enter, he even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only, he didn't foolishly loosen up immediately.

The more critical the moment, the calmer he needed to be; only this way could he have bargaining power with the police.

Seeing him silent, Luo Fei wasn't surprised.

He waved the thick file in his hand and took the initiative to say, "Do you know what this is? Do you know what we've been doing these past few days?"

"We followed the contact list from your phone, arrested thirteen of your accomplices in total, and what I have here are some of their statements."

They rested last night, but the other police stations didn't; they interrogated them overnight.

And this morning, these statements were delivered into the hands of Luo Fei and the others.

"So, Shu An Country, you can choose to remain silent, but the evidence we have is enough to convict you. Given your actions, it's unlikely you'll ever get out in this lifetime."

Shu An Country was instantly thrown into panic, "Stop scaring people, human trafficking charges only get sentenced for a few years, how could it be for life!"

"Indeed, regular trafficking only results in three to five years, but yours isn't normal trafficking anymore."

"According to the country's Criminal Law Articles 53 and 72, criminal organizations with three or more members, holding key members or maintaining a basic fixed organization, and committing significant organized crimes can be recognized as criminal groups."

"The state is now heavily cracking down on such heinous cases, so crimes involving groups will be dealt with more severely. You're even a core member, do you think I have a reason to exaggerate?"

Although Shu An Country didn't know if the criminal law had such provisions, he knew the other party likely wouldn't use such words to deceive him.

He was afraid, could only compromise, "Does my confessing now give a chance for leniency?"

"That depends on how detailed and crucial your confessions are."

"Alright, ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know!"

"Who are all the members in your group, is Ning Shaobin the biggest leader in your group, how do you all divide your tasks? Tell us everything in detail!"

"Including me, our group has nineteen people, Ning Shaobin is the leader, the boss."

"In terms of division, Ning Shaobin handles contacting buyers, then sends me the buyers' requirements, which I relay to the subordinates, responsible for targeting suitable victims."

"Once they succeed, they'll notify Ning Shaobin, Ning Shaobin will arrange meeting places and transaction methods with the buyer, then the person transporting children meets the buyer, once Ning Shaobin gets the money, he'll transfer it to me, and I'll distribute it to the members handling errands."

"Of course, sometimes buyers pay in cash, in which case I need to personally collect the money and distribute it among the members."

Simply put, Shu An Country's role was more of Ning Shaobin's proxy; all matters requiring appearances and contacting members were his responsibilities.

This way, if something went wrong, Shu An Country would be the exposed one.

However, Shu An Country wasn't foolish, so every time he met people like Wang Pingchuan, he was fully equipped.

Zhang Fan quickly jotted down everything said.

Luo Fei calculated in his mind; nineteen people in total, they arrested thirteen plus the earlier four, Shu An Country included, totaling only seventeen.

So, are there two who escaped capture?

"Where are all these nineteen people? Immediately detail their names and information!"

"Besides me, Ning Shaobin, Wang Pingchuan..."

Shu An Country promptly listed a long string of names.

Zhang Fan meticulously noted them all.

Then Luo Fei asked several more questions related to the case, which Shu An Country answered thoroughly.

"Final question, where did you sell all these women and children?"

"That's just too many; how could I keep track? Additionally, I don't know some of them."

Shu An Country shook his head and added, "Moreover, the transactions are all managed by Ning Shaobin; you'd get clearer answers from him."

"We'll definitely ask him, but for now, tell us what you remember."

"Alright, let me think..."

Shu An Country frowned, pondering deeply, and began making intermittent confessions.

Zhang Fan kept noting everything...

After half an hour, Shu An Country finally confessed everything he could remember, and Luo Fei and Zhang Fan ended the interrogation.

As they exited, they heard Zhao Donglai and Yang Su's voices still interrogating Ning Shaobin in the neighboring room.

Rather than disturbing, they began discussing independently.

"Based on the names Shu An Country provided, there are still two people yet to be arrested."

Zhang Fan spoke, pointing at the two names not crossed off.

The list for this operation was composed collectively, and Zhang Fan knew all the thirteen arrested, so the missing two were easily identifiable.

Luo Fei suggested, "How about we investigate these two people's information, report it to Captain Zhao once he's out, and we'll arrest them right away."

"That works, it'll save quite a bit of time."

They immediately went to work according to the information given by Shu An Country, quickly obtaining detailed data on these two.
