Chapter 103: This is the Only Thing I Can Do for Zheng Bei (Requesting Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
After interrogating Ning Shaobin, Zhao Donglai immediately called Luo Fei and Yang Su over.
"Captain Zhao, did Ning Shaobin confess?"
As soon as he entered the office, Luo Fei asked.
Zhao Donglai shook his head with a grim expression, "No. How about on your end?"
"Things went relatively well for us. Shu An Country has fully confessed to all crimes, and according to the accomplice information he provided, we might have missed capturing two people."
"But just now, Group Leader Zhang and I have tracked down the information of these two people, Captain Zhao, you can take a look."
Luo Fei said as he pulled up the information they found.
Zhao Donglai glanced at it briefly and said, "You guys did a great job. I'll quickly call Director Wu and Director Zheng and have them arrange for someone to make the arrests."
Considering they are already quite busy with the current matters, expending more manpower to make arrests would definitely increase the pressure, so Zhao Donglai decided to assign this task to other police teams.
But after thinking about it, he worried they might have other thoughts, so he asked, "You guys don't mind, right?"
"No objections! No objections!"
The three repeatedly waved their hands.
They were really exhausted from running around arresting people these past few days, so they wished he would pass the task to others.
"Hmm, that's good."
After Zhao Donglai finished speaking, he called Zheng Changjun.
Then the four of them studied Shu An Country's confession again and summarized all the previous clues and evidence.
After doing all this, they then hurried to interrogate the other three members who were captured yesterday.
Compared to Shu An Country and the others, these three were much easier to interrogate; they confessed everything before even being asked.
Similar to Wang Pingchuan and the others, these three were only clear about their own responsible areas and knew nothing else.
However, one of their testimonies caught Zhao Donglai's attention.
So after the interrogation ended, he immediately asked Luo Fei to return to the office alone.
Seeing his obvious heavy-hearted demeanor, Luo Fei immediately asked upon entering, "Captain Zhao, what's wrong? Did you discover something new?"
"Sort of. Luo Fei, please wait. We need to wait for Yang Mei to discuss this."
Luo Fei was a bit puzzled. What matter needed Yang Mei to be present?
It wasn't long before Yang Mei pushed the door open and entered.
"Uncle, why did you call me here?"
Usually in front of Luo Fei, Yang Mei directly calls him uncle. Zhao Donglai used to criticize her for it, but eventually let her be.
"Yang Mei, come sit down. I have a very serious matter to discuss with you."
"What serious matter?" Yang Mei asked curiously.
Luo Fei also looked at him curiously.
Zhao Donglai didn't beat around the bush, he pulled out the recent interrogation testimony.
"This is from when I interrogated the criminal suspect Zhao Gang, his testimony."
As he spoke, he handed the testimony to Yang Mei, "Take a look."
Yang Mei took it with some confusion and glanced over the content.
This seemed to be testimony recalling the process of human trafficking; it stated, "Ten years ago, a girl from Liangxia Middle School in Liangxia County was abducted on her way home from school, then taken away by Xiang Chuanwen."
"Ten years ago, a twenty-year-old girl from Longping Village in Chang'an Town was abducted under the pretense of working in the city."
"Nine years ago, a girl from Ningjiang Primary School in Ningjiang County was abducted..."
The more Yang Mei read, the more confused she became, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Donglai, "Uncle, is there a problem with this testimony?"
Zhao Donglai was speechless by her slowness, having to remind her, "You forgot Director Zheng Bei had a daughter who disappeared nine years ago on her way home from school?"
Zhao Donglai said, pointing at the testimony from nine years ago, "Don't you see, the timing, location, and the child match perfectly?"
Yang Mei immediately reacted, feeling both surprised and delighted, fearing that it might be false hope, "Uncle, are you sure? After all, there are so many missing children each year, what if...?"
"There's no mistake. When the child disappeared, I was the precinct chief in the jurisdiction. It was my colleagues who went to the scene, so I remember the details very well, and it matches this testimony perfectly."
"And most importantly, the only child missing from Ningjiang Primary School that year was her!"
Yang Mei was instantly excited, "Then uncle, where was this child eventually sold to?"
Ever since Zheng Bei's sacrifice, Tang Cuifang has been in tears every day.
Yang Mei always wanted to do something for this unfortunate woman, and now hearing news about her child, she was eager to find someone and bring them before Tang Cuifang.
"That is uncertain for now. According to the confessions, only Ning Shaobin knows the buyer's information, but this person is refusing to cooperate and won't confess at all."
Since Zheng Bei sacrificed his life in the line of duty and they worked together for many years, he was eager to help find his daughter, as it was the only thing he could do for Zheng Bei.
But now the problem is Ning Shaobin is adamantly silent; it's troubling him.
"Uncle, just keep interrogating him. I don't believe that after everyone else has confessed, he can still hold out!"
"Yes, I will definitely continue the interrogation. By the way, Yang Mei, since you and Luo Fei often eat at his wife's porridge shop, find a chance to inquire about any information regarding the child."
"Then, once we have any lead on the child, we can verify it."
