Chapter 530 Shocking Discovery
Chapter 530 Shocking Discovery
Everyone was stunned. Hao Shizhong frowned, his expression becoming increasingly serious. He raised his voice and asked, "Officer Qu, what happened? Calm down first."
Sister Qu was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe, and her body was shaking like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Several female colleagues hurriedly stood up, walked to Sister Qu, patted her back gently, and tried to calm her down.
Sister Qu covered her chest tightly with her hands, as if trying to protect her broken heart.
She tried hard to regulate her breathing and choked up as she said, "This girl seems like, like my eldest daughter."
Although her voice was weak, it was so clear in the entire conference room.
In an instant, almost everyone's pupils trembled, and there was an uproar in the conference room.
"what?!"
A young police officer stared at Sister Qu with wide eyes in disbelief.
He knew that Sister Qu had experienced the pain of her child being abducted and had been looking for her child for so many years. He didn't expect to make such an amazing discovery here today.
"Look carefully, her eyes do look like Sister Qu's."
An experienced old police officer squinted his eyes, looked carefully at the girl's face on the screen, and spoke slowly.
His words brought everyone's attention back to the screen. Everyone looked carefully at the girl's eyes. There seemed to be a familiar charm in those eyes, which were subtly similar to Sister Qu's eyes.
"Could it be such a coincidence?" A female police officer frowned, her face full of confusion.
She felt that all this was like a plot in a movie, full of drama, but she knew that Sister Qu would not joke about such things.
The other people around were also surprised by this and were talking among themselves.
Some were wondering whether the girl was really Sister Qu's daughter, some were recalling Sister Qu's difficult journey in searching for her child over the years, and others were thinking about the impact of this discovery on the upcoming action.
Sister Qu's body slowly stopped shaking, and her eyes were filled with pain and hope.
She looked at the girl on the screen and murmured to herself, "My daughter, your mother has been looking for you so hard."
"Why are you here after all these years?"
Her tears couldn't stop flowing again, and every tear was filled with years of longing and guilt.
Hao Shizhong looked at Sister Qu and felt full of sympathy.
He knew that this matter must be treated with caution, so he cleared his throat and said, "Sister Qu, don't get too excited."
"We need to further confirm the identity of this girl."
"If she is really your daughter, we will definitely find a way to rescue her."
When Sister Qu heard what Hao Shizhong said, it was like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
She nodded hurriedly and said, "Deputy Commander Hao, please, please save my daughter."
"I can't lose her again."
Her eyes were full of pleading, which moved everyone present.
Hao Shizhong said firmly: "Sister Qu, don't worry."
"We not only want to rescue your daughter, but also wipe out this human trafficking organization."
"Now everyone calm down and let's readjust our battle plan."
When everyone heard what Hao Shizhong said, they all nodded.
They knew that the situation had become more complicated, but it also made them more determined to smash this criminal gang.
Hao Shizhong's brows were tightly furrowed into a knot, and his eyes were solemn.
If the girl is really Sister Qu's child, it will undoubtedly add great complexity to the entire mission.
When facing her own children, Sister Qu may lose control of her emotions and affect the execution of the mission, and may even put the entire operation in danger.
He took a deep breath, then slowly announced that Sister Qu would temporarily leave this mission.
When Sister Qu heard this, her eyes widened, tears still stained her face, and she sobbed, "No, I want to participate. I must go."
There was a desperate insistence in her voice. How could she leave at this moment?
The child she had been searching for for many years was right in front of her. She wanted to rescue her personally and make up for the maternal love she had been missing for so many years.
Hao Shizhong looked at Sister Qu, feeling helpless, but he knew he had to do this.
His voice became more serious, and he said without question: "This is an order!"
He looked at Sister Qu firmly, without any sign of compromise.
Sister Qu's body trembled slightly, she knew she could not disobey the order.
Her eyes were red as fire, a color mixed with anger, pain and helplessness.
She was supported by another police officer and staggered out of the meeting room.
Her back looked so helpless and lonely, and every step she took seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart.
After Hao Shizhong passed this shocking news to Qi Tongwei, Qi Tongwei stood in a hidden corner of the sinful base and sighed deeply.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, his heart full of sympathy for Sister Qu.
Sister Qu’s experience is like an endless nightmare, and now this nightmare seems to be continuing to spread.
Qi Tongwei quickly adjusted his thoughts. He knew that now was not the time to rush. The most urgent task was to carry out the arrest operation as soon as possible and ensure the safety of the girl who might be Sister Qu's daughter.
He spoke to Hao Shizhong in a serious and firm tone, speaking into the communication device: "Deputy Commander Hao, I think we must reach a cooperation with the local military now."
"This criminal gang has extensive connections and networks. We have a good chance of taking them down on our own, but if we can unite with the local military, we'll be even more secure."
Hao Shizhong responded on the other end of the phone: "Qi Tongwei, I have the same idea."
"But when working with the local military, we need to consider many factors, such as the distribution of command and the degree of information sharing."
"Also, we must ensure the reliability of the local military. After all, the people in this base may have some complicated connections in the local area."
Qi Tongwei nodded. Although Hao Shizhong couldn't see his movements, his voice was still full of confidence: "Deputy Commander Hao, the issues you mentioned do need to be treated with caution."
"I suggest that we first hold a secret meeting with the local military to discuss various matters of cooperation in detail."
"We need to clarify who has command authority. I believe we can set up a joint command center staffed by personnel from both sides. This will protect the rights and interests of both sides while ensuring efficient coordination of operations."
"As for information sharing, we must unreservedly share the information we have about this criminal gang with the other side and require them to do the same."
"During this process, we must rigorously verify the information to prevent false information from misleading our actions."
As Qi Tongwei spoke, he quickly planned the entire framework of cooperation in his mind.
"Also, to prevent the local military from tipping off those at the base, we must act quickly."
"The shorter the time between us reaching a cooperation agreement and making the arrest, the better."
"We can develop a preliminary action plan first, and then refine it with the local military during the meeting."
"Once the plan is finalized, action will be taken immediately."
Hao Shizhong pondered for a while on the other end of the phone, then said, "Qi Tongwei, your suggestion is very reasonable."
"I will immediately arrange a meeting with the local military."
"You must continue to collect intelligence at the base and report to me at any time."
"We must ensure the success of this operation, not only to dismantle this criminal gang, but also to rescue as many trafficked people as possible."
"Yes, Deputy Commander Hao."
"Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the movements in the base."
After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, he ended the call.
He knew that every next step would be full of challenges.
But he believed that as long as they planned carefully and the three parties united, they would be able to successfully dismantle the lair of this human trafficking organization.
Qi Tongwei approached quietly and his eyes fell on the little girl.
At this moment, she was like a cold statue, standing in front of the closed door with an indifferent expression.
There was only a narrow gap on the door, and the light coming through it seemed so weak, but it reflected the wind conditions inside the house very clearly.
The abducted person in the house was like a trapped animal in a cage, banging on the door frantically.
The banging sounds echoed in the silent corridor, each one sounding like a cry of despair.
They cursed the little girl in front of them in all kinds of languages. Those vicious words were like sharp blades, trying to cut through the little girl's seemingly calm appearance.
"You are a lunatic! A lunatic without any humanity or blood."
A voice filled with anger and contempt echoed in the small space.
The owner of the voice had red eyes, as if burning with flames of hatred. He slammed the door hard with his hands. His palms had become red and swollen, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
"You're such a slut that no one wants you. You're only in your teens, and you've already crawled into countless beds."
The other voice was even more vulgar, and its words were full of slander and defamation against the little girl.
The person who said this had a malicious smile on his face and his eyes were full of contempt, as if he wanted to completely defeat the little girl with such words.
"Don't fall into my hands, or I'll dig your eyes out. Try glaring at me again."
Another man was shaking the door frantically and making vicious threats, his expression horribly contorted and his teeth chattering, looking like a demon crawling out of hell.
However, the little girl remained expressionless, her eyes like a bottomless lake, without a single ripple.
She just stood there quietly, as if the vicious insults were not directed at her.
She stood straight, and her small figure had a tenacity that could not be ignored in this malicious environment.
Her hands hung at her sides, her fingers slightly curled up, as if she was suppressing some emotion, but her face remained indifferent, so indifferent that it made people feel a little scared.
Qi Tongwei watched this scene quietly from the side, and his complicated feelings towards the little girl increased a bit.
He knew that this little girl had been distorted in this sinful environment, but how many unknown stories were hidden behind her indifference?
The girl stood there, her face expressionless like an emotionless doll.
She looked at the door with cold eyes, as if she could see directly through the door the ugly faces of those who insulted her.
Her finger slowly rose and reached towards an inconspicuous button on the wall.
The movement was neither hurried nor slow, without the slightest hesitation, as if what she was about to do was not a cruel thing, but a trivial and ordinary thing.
The moment her finger gently pressed the button, a low buzzing sound of electricity was heard, followed by a heart-wrenching scream of pain from inside the house.
The cry was like the last struggle of a wild beast whose throat was suddenly strangled, full of fear and despair.
Several people in the house were still banging on the door frantically, spitting out vicious curses.
However, the electric current was like a ferocious poisonous snake, instantly spreading along the gap in the door to their hands.
They only felt an intense stinging pain spreading from their palms throughout their bodies. It was an unbearable pain, as if countless needles were piercing their flesh at the same time, or as if flames were burning in their hands.
Their hands instinctively tried to break free, but the electric current tightly wrapped around them.
Their skin quickly turned black under the action of the electric current, and the smell of burning filled the small room.
The black color spread across the skin like ink, from the fingertips to the back of the hands, and then to the wrists. The originally healthy skin became charred and cracked, and some places even began to smoke.
The girl stood outside the door, listening to the screams from inside the house, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile.
Her voice was cold and calm, like a verdict from hell: "Then let's see whether you dig out my eyes first, or I chop off your hands first."
She paused, then continued, "This switch is my gift to you. It won't kill you."
There was no trace of pity in her eyes, only endless indifference and disdain for these people.
From beginning to end, the girl remained calm.
She was like a detached spectator, watching the people in the house struggling in pain, as if their pain had nothing to do with her.
Her indifference is chilling, as if in her world, such cruelty is just a means of survival, and those trafficked people are nothing more than ants that can be manipulated at will.
Qi Tongwei watched all this silently from the side, his heart filled with shock and complicated emotions.
He knew that the girl had been completely distorted by this sinful environment, but he also understood that it was countless sufferings and darkness that turned her into what she was today.
The girl turned around very smoothly.
When her eyes fell on Qi Tongwei beside her, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, but that curiosity was only fleeting and was soon replaced by her indifferent expression.
She tilted her head slightly and asked, "New here? Whose?"
Her voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable tone, as if she was the one in charge here.
Qi Tongwei replied calmly, "Brother Long introduced me here."
He looked calmly into the girl's eyes, trying to extract more information from her expression.
After hearing Qi Tongwei's answer, the girl just nodded slightly.
There was a calmness and sophistication in her eyes that was not in line with her age. Her gaze was like two cold arrows as she looked Qi Tongwei up and down.
She seemed to be evaluating whether Qi Tongwei was trustworthy, and also seemed to be thinking about what impact this sudden appearance would have on her status.
After looking at him for a while, the girl seemed to have made her own judgment about Qi Tongwei.
Her gaze shifted to the tightly closed door. The abducted person inside was groaning in pain from the electric shock he had just received, and occasionally a few suppressed curses could be heard.
The girl's face was expressionless. As if she was talking about something very ordinary, she said to Qi Tongwei, "If the people in the room make any more noise, just throw some water in."
Qi Tongwei was shocked and instantly understood the girl's intention.
There is already electricity in the room. If water is poured in, the water will conduct electricity, and then other people in the room will be electrocuted as well.
He couldn't help but look at the girl's back, his eyes becoming more and more profound.
This girl is so young, but her mind is so vicious. She has been completely assimilated into this sinful environment and treats the lives and suffering of others as things that can be manipulated at will.
The girl seemed to notice Qi Tongwei's gaze, but she didn't care.
She walked forward slowly with steady steps. Her back looked frail, yet revealed a kind of coldness that was hard to ignore.
As she walked, she said, "We can't give those people a chance to resist here. We have to let them know the consequences of disobeying."
Her voice echoed in the silent corridor, and every word hit Qi Tongwei's heart.
Qi Tongwei looked at the girl's back as she walked away, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
He knew that this girl was a special existence in this criminal gang, and if he wanted to successfully destroy this den, he had to deal with her carefully.
At the same time, he became more determined to save the girl and not let her go further down the path of sin.
