Chapter 104: Searching for Aunt Tang's Abducted Daughter (Requesting Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
By the time Tang Cuifang finished speaking, half an hour had passed.
"Aunt Tang, I've remembered everything you said. Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye out for you."
Luo Fei solemnly promised.
Tang Cuifang couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart, "Luo Fei, if you really can help me find Huanhuan, I, Aunt Tang, will never forget your great kindness in this lifetime."
"Aunt Tang, your words are too formal, but I can't guarantee anything, I can only say I'll do my best."
"Of course, I'm already deeply grateful if you can keep an eye out for me."
After that, Luo Fei comforted Yang Mei for a while, and the two left.
On the way back.
"Luo Fei, do you think that child could really be Master's daughter?"
"Don't worry, don't you know Zhao's character? If he dares to say that, he must be sure."
"But what if Ning Shaobin never confesses the buyer's information? Or he's already forgotten, or maybe something unexpected happened to Huanhuan midway..."
Perhaps because she truly considered Aunt Tang as a senior, Yang Mei spoke with increasing concern, looking very anxious.
Luo Fei found it somewhat amusing and quickly interrupted, "Alright, Yang Mei, don't overthink and scare yourself."
"We've caught the person now, his confession is just a matter of time, and as for the things you're worried about… none of them have happened yet, and even if you hit the nail on the head, we can't change anything."
"So, just focus on getting the present tasks done, and we'll figure things out later?"
"I understand what you mean, I just feel for Aunt Tang; this whole life of hers has been so hard, if Huanhuan really... you tell me how she could handle it."
"That's why we must keep quiet now, at least until we have clarity, and don't let her know about it."
"Hmm okay..."
Back at the police station, Luo Fei went to report to Zhao Donglai, while Yang Mei returned to the tech room.
As soon as she entered, Wu Xiaoyue teased, "Oh Sister Yang Mei, you finally returned from your date?"
"What date, we went for work, okay!"
"Oh, it was work..."
Wu Xiaoyue drew out her voice, obviously not believing it, which annoyed Yang Mei, causing her to chase and hit her.
While the two were playing around, inside Zhao Donglai's office.
"Keep track of these details for now, once we have clues we'll be able to confirm whether or not."
"Okay."
...
Since the people brought in have basically confessed everything.
Zhao Donglai immediately focused all his efforts on Ning Shaobin.
Over the entire afternoon, he led Luo Fei, Yang Su, and others in taking turns interrogating him non-stop.
Ning Shaobin held out for only two days, eventually breaking down under such high-pressure interrogation and confessing.
Ning Shaobin's real job was as a specialist doctor at the xz city clinic for infertility treatments.
Because he often treated patients seeking medical help due to infertility, he suddenly realized something.
That is, these people have a very strong desire for children.
Some patients who haven't seen any improvement after years of treatment even secretly asked him if he had connections in other hospitals' obstetrics departments.
If there's a family who gave birth to a child and doesn't want it, he could help them connect, and they'd be willing to pay him a certain fee if they succeed in adopting a child.
To be honest, Ning Shaobin indeed had such connections, but hospitals have regulations, so he didn't dare to violate them, thus initially he refused.
But as time passed, with more people asking, he couldn't resist entertaining a crooked idea.
However, these kinds of operations could easily cause him to lose his job, and given that families who don't want their newborns are really a minority, he decided to take the risk and directly kidnap children to sell to these couples to make lots of money.
After making the plan, he started looking for partners online, intending to let the partner handle the kidnappings while he handled contacting buyers.
The first accomplice he found was Wang Pingchuan, and the two successfully completed several deals.
But perhaps because it was the first time doing such a thing, it didn't take long before Wang Pingchuan attracted police attention.
Fortunately, Ning Shaobin was clever; he did not initially make direct contact with Wang Pingchuan, and they only communicated via phone each time, using phone cards that weren't registered under their real names.
So once he sensed things were off, he immediately threw the phone and card into a river, and since forensic technologies weren't as advanced then, the police didn't find him.
Later, Wang Pingchuan managed to evade police capture and became a fugitive, while Ning Shaobin learned from this lesson and approached Shu An Country to start more covert criminal activities.
Eventually, by chance, Wang Pingchuan rejoined his group to help him with operations, but Wang Pingchuan remained unaware that Ning Shaobin was his previous accomplice, and Ning Shaobin also kept it from him.
As their group expanded and more members joined, Ning Shaobin, gradually discontent with just child trafficking, also had some members abduct women and girls.
He was very cautious, generally only letting members commit selective random crimes after confirming buyers' demand first, thereby greatly reducing the chance of police attention.
Also, since they committed crimes across multiple locations, it was very difficult for the police to catch them, and even when one or two were occasionally caught, the police neglected to link them due to the members' lack of awareness of each other's identities.
Imagining that if it weren't for Luo Fei's meticulous investigation, their group would likely continue to roam free.
