Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 364 Human Traffickers
Lu Ming kept thinking, always thinking.

The next day, he got up very early.He still didn't stay in the base for long, but left the base again and came to the city of Blue Lake City.

During the morning rush hour, the streets are crowded with people.People rode trams, pedaled bicycles, and pedestrians accompanied by pedestrians gathered in a large group.When the red light turns on and the cars stop, the people waiting on both sides of the road rush forward and flow through the street like a tide.

No matter how turbulent the undercurrent may be under the surface, there will be no expression on the surface.People are still living peacefully.

While walking through a street corner, Lu Ming happened to see a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The girl was wearing very ordinary clothes, sneakers and jeans, her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, no makeup was applied, and her face was plain.Not too pretty but not ugly either.There seemed to be springs under her feet, and she couldn't help but feel a little bouncing when she walked, exuding a youthful vigor all over her body.

When they ran into each other on the street, originally Lu Ming would not pay any attention to strangers.But he inexplicably felt that this girl seemed familiar to him.

After the girl walked past him, Lu Ming searched his memory carefully and realized that she was also a family member of a victim who was cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide.

Daughter of family 725 deceased.I have seen her photo in the data.

Lu Ming stopped unconsciously and began to follow behind her.

Among the training received by the operations department, there are also related subjects of tracking and anti-tracking.Lu Ming's stalking was not noticed by the girl, but instead made Lu Ming aware that someone was following him.

No, he wasn't following himself, but he was also following this girl.

Lu Ming observed carefully, and saw two tall, tough young men with stern expressions following the girl vaguely.

The two men moved neatly, and there was a hint of explosive power restrained deep in their walks.It seems that as long as there is an accident, they can immediately explode from ordinary passers-by to beasts.

After realizing that Lu Ming was looking at him, the two young men nodded slightly to Lu Ming.

It's someone from the secret service team.They are following and protecting the teenage girl.

Lu Ming felt relieved.

But... no.It appears that someone is still following the girl.

Lu Ming observed carefully again, and after a while, he locked on to two more targets.

Those two targets were a man and a woman.The man's body was thin, with a shallow scar on his face, and his eyes were full of ferocity.The woman looked ordinary, but under careful observation, Lu Ming could still detect a treacherous aura from the woman.

Lu Ming could tell in an instant that these two people had absolutely bad intentions.

But with people from the special service team following her, the girl will be fine.Lu Ming was very happy, and just stayed behind as if he was watching a show.

Looking at the girl who walked in front and didn't notice what was behind her, Lu Ming secretly sighed in his heart.

"The people who follow you can make a table of mahjong, and they can be so happy. Sure enough, sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness."

In front is a breakfast shop.The girl went in, picked up some cheap steamed stuffed buns and gruel, and ordered some. She sat at the dining table and began to gobble it up regardless of her appearance.Lu Ming happened to be a little hungry, so he bought some food and sat next to her.

Jingle jingle jingle...

The girl's phone rang.

She seems to be in a good mood now.After connecting the phone, her voice was full of joy: "Mom, I passed the interview and I'm going to work today. They paid me 3000 yuan a month! During the three months of summer vacation, I will save a little money. You can save 6000 yuan, which is enough for the tuition of the whole freshman year!"

Lu Ming knew that the family conditions of No. 725 family were not good.Conditions were even worse after the victim, the girl's father, committed suicide.The current source of family income is only her mother.

Her mother doesn't have any serious job either. She currently works as a cleaner in a restaurant, and in her spare time, she wholesales some small toys and sells them at a stall.

This girl just graduated from high school this year and was admitted to university with excellent grades.Now it seems that she should have found a job as a summer worker.

On the phone, the girl's mother's voice could not be heard clearly, but the love and concern in it were still palpable.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't be too tired. I can work and study after the university starts, and I can earn money. My major is very popular, and I can find a job as soon as I graduate. , I can earn a lot of money by then, and I will take you over when the time comes, and we will buy a small house, and we will no longer have to worry about being driven away by the landlord."

The girl was talking about it excitedly, full of longing for a better life in the future.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore, I'm going to eat quickly, I'm going to be late later."

The girl finished eating in three mouthfuls, and hurried out of the breakfast shop.Lu Ming also followed out intentionally or unintentionally.As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a man and a woman who were also following the girl standing not far away, discussing something in a low voice.

After discussing for a while, the cunning woman seemed to have decided something and walked towards the girl.

"Are you going to start?"

Lu Ming sneered in his heart, but he didn't move at all.The two secret agents walked over quickly, one walked towards the man and the other towards the woman.

The secret agent was holding the phone in his hand, and while chattering, he pretended to bump into the woman unintentionally, and knocked her down.

The woman let out an oops, and was about to lose her temper when she saw the secret agent pretending to be surprised, and firmly locked her arms with two iron-clawed hands: "Oh, big sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh, you can't see it!" You're bleeding from the fall, go to the hospital to have a look..."

The Secret Service couldn't help but pull her up and leave.The woman wanted to struggle and yell, but the secret service whispered something in her ear, and the woman immediately calmed down.

The other man was embraced by the Secret Service pretending to be familiar with him.Lu Ming clearly saw that a dagger was already on his waist the moment he hugged his shoulders.The man trembled, and immediately became honest.

The girl didn't notice all this, and left in a hurry.

Both special agents went to arrest people, and the girl was left unprotected for the time being.Lu Ming temporarily assumed the duty of secret protection.

After following for a while, Lu Ming observed that the two special agents went back and forth, knowing that the matter of the man and the woman had been dealt with, he stopped following and protecting.

He waved to a secret service.That Secret Service immediately walked over quickly, while another Secret Service continued to follow and protect.

"what's the situation?"

"Report to Lu Corps, it's a human trafficker."

"Human traffickers?"

The tragic fate of those kidnapped girls in the news reports immediately appeared in Lu Ming's mind.

"Yes. The man and woman contacted the intermediary, intending to make the woman in it act pitiful, and lure the girl to a remote place, and then the man made a move, kidnapped her directly, and drove her to the intermediary to sell."

"Intermediary? Aren't they all sold to the mountains?"

Lu Ming was a little puzzled.The secret agent explained: "This kind of thing is rare now. The mountains have long been connected to the Internet, and they have communicated with the outside world. They know that buying and selling people is against the law. Besides, they have some money in their hands, which is usually not the case. I did. The current trend is that some perverted rich people like to keep young boys and girls in captivity, and some of them started the intermediary business. The man and woman we just caught were tied up and sold to the intermediary, and the intermediary sold them again. For those perverted millionaires."

Lu Ming felt a chill all over his body, and a surge of anger rushed straight up in his heart.

"This case must be thoroughly investigated. I will contact your supervisor."

Lu Ming had already made up his mind to dig out all the participants in this case.

But Lu Ming will not investigate this case by himself.This kind of case that does not involve supernatural forces can be investigated by conventional forces.

"Yes."

The Secret Service left and continued to follow and protect the girl.

Although this case was not directly related to him, Lu Ming still felt a sense of crisis.

Bad luck is coming to family No. 725.

If our own side does not stop, once the two traffickers succeed, the girl's tragic fate can already be foreseen.However, her father, the victim who was cursed by Wang Quan and committed suicide, might it be because his daughter disappeared and could never be found again, and finally chose to end his life amidst self-blame and grief?

And, this time the kidnapping by the traffickers was detected in advance by our own side, and the danger was nipped in the bud.But according to the speculation of "destiny", it is not known what kind of danger will befall the girl in the No. 725 family in the future.

If our side can stop this time, what about the second time?If you block the second time, what about the third time?

Even the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth-nine times...

Thinking back to the girl at the breakfast shop, when the girl was on the phone with her mother, she was full of joy because she found a suitable summer job, and recalling her beautiful vision for the future, Lu Ming felt heavy in his heart.

He was still wandering around in Blue Lake City, feeling the seemingly peaceful atmosphere of life, and observing the pedestrians coming and going.He relaxed his mind, no longer clinging to the extremely complicated and difficult case, no longer pondering hard, just wandering around like an ordinary tourist.

Ahead is another small park.Lu Ming walked past the roadside guardrail, sat down on a bench under the shade of a willow tree, and took a rest.

It was almost noon now.The weather is hot, and there are not many people in the small park.Even the nearby peddler who guarded a refrigerator and sold all kinds of cold drinks and ice cream looked listless, as if he was about to fall asleep.

An electric tricycle buzzed and stopped at the entrance of the park.The voice caught Lu Ming's attention.He turned his head and saw an old man in his seventies sitting on a tricycle.There was also an old lady in her seventies in the tricycle.

Both of them were very shabby in their clothes, but they were both very clean and tidy.

It can be seen that although the two are poor, they pay great attention to maintaining hygiene.

The old man got off the tricycle, poured out the water in a bottle of mineral water next to the flower bed, crushed the water bottle, and threw it into the tricycle bucket.

Lu Ming knew that a bottle of mineral water could probably be sold for a few cents at the waste collection station.

It seems that the summer is too hot, the tricycle did not move on, but stopped under the shade of a tree to take a rest.

The old man saw the cold drink stand next to him, thought for a while, and said to the old lady, "Old woman, do you want ice cream? Shall I buy you one?"

The old lady complained: "What are you doing with that money? It's worth a few dollars each, enough to buy vegetables for a day."

The old man said with emotion: "It has been hard for you in the past few years. We almost paid off Xiaohui's debts. With no debts, life will be easier in the future. An ice cream is nothing. If you want to eat roast goose, I will give it to you." you buy it."

The old lady hesitated.Maybe because I remembered that the remaining debts were really not much, I finally gritted my teeth and made up my mind: "Okay, then buy two. One for you and one for me. This is always eaten by young people. I, an old woman, will try something new today. , look at how delicious it is, so many young people like it."

The old man got off the tricycle and took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket—the handkerchief was rolled into a roll, and some odds and ends, one five yuan and ten yuan bills were all rolled up in the handkerchief.He took out a ten-dollar one, hesitated for a moment, put it back, and replaced it with a five-dollar one.

When he came to the cold drink stand, he only bought one.Going back and handing it to the old lady, the old lady complained: "I always say that I am stingy, but you are even more stingy than me."

The old man laughed and said, "I don't like to eat that stuff. Just eat it."

"You eat first, just give me some leftover."

Unable to resist the old lady, the old man had no choice but to reluctantly take a bite, babbling in his mouth for a long time, reluctant to swallow it.The old lady also took a bite, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

"When Xiaohui's debts are paid off, we old couple will go back to our hometown. We can grow some vegetables, wheat and corn in our hometown, and we can always survive. In this city, we make a lot of money, but living is tiring."

"Okay. The last debt will be repaid almost next month, and then we will leave."

The old couple chatted about their daily routines and shared an ice cream, full of peace and harmony.

Lu Ming didn't pay much attention to these two at first.But after a while, it felt a little familiar again, but I couldn't remember who it was.It wasn't until he saw two special agents not far away who kept looking over here secretly that Lu Ming realized that these old couple were also the family members of a victim of the Wang Quan curse case.

Family 816.

It has been almost seven years since the death of Family Victim No. 816.According to the law, the "reason" for his suicide will most likely appear in his parents.That is, these two old people.

Because the relationship between them is close enough.However, only a change in someone close enough can cause the greatest psychological torture to the victim, and finally achieve the "result" that makes him commit suicide.
