Chapter 489 Case Closed
They didn't remember where the village was exactly. Because it was dark, they walked along the main road, taking whichever road was wide. They walked all night and went into the county town when they saw it.
How did they escape? Su He said that her maid Qingming had a stomachache in the middle of the night, so she called down a pimp and knocked him out with the drugs she had bought for self-defense. Then she climbed up and knocked them out one by one using a similar method.
When they escaped, they accidentally dropped their torches on the haystack and did not dare to make a sound, so they drove away. They were also afraid that the bad guys would wake up and kill them one by one.
When the other children heard this, they remembered the words that the kidnapper had threatened them with. Several of them told them what they had heard, the words that the kidnappers had threatened them with in the car and in the cellar.
The clerks in the government office recorded all of this in detail. They needed to arrest the human traffickers according to what Su He and the others said, and of course they also described the appearances of several people.
After the children finished their stories, the government asked the adults to take them home and comfort them. After all, they were still children, and if they had survived a near-death experience, they must have been very frightened.
The government office followed Su He's instructions and sent people to search in the direction of Su He's entry into the city from Qin County. In less than two days, they found the village, only because a house in the village was burned down for no reason two days ago.
They found the village chief and learned that the house was rented to a man named Wu from another village. They followed the clues and found the man. They asked him how many years he had been away from home. The last time he came back, he gave some money and left without saying where he had been.
The yamen runners made a thorough investigation but found no information and they didn't know what to do with this family.
They went back to the burned house and after a careful inspection by the coroner, they actually found something. After all, the house was not burned completely, and several bodies were black, almost like charcoal, but the three fingers of one of them could still be vaguely distinguished.
In addition, some silver was found in the collapsed earthen kang where these people slept. It was not much, but not too little either. I think someone must have hidden it here. The yamen runners took it away and confiscated it. In addition, some of the things they brought with them were not burned completely. After careful identification, they were found to be brought from the capital.
Just in case, they returned to the capital, found Su He's house, got their family's consent, and took Su He and Qingming there to confirm if this was the place.
Su He knew it was here. Seeing that nothing was left after burning, he was extremely happy. But he still pretended to be scared and said tremblingly: "Yes, it is here, the stone table is right here."
After the bailiff was certain, he returned with the evidence. The case was closed, the traffickers were burned to death, and it was confirmed that they were those people, and the number of bodies matched.
The government posted portraits of the traffickers and wrote out their crimes as a warning.
The Qin family knew the news, and the young lady was so scared that her back went cold. That little girl was so evil that it was not something her family could afford to offend. She quickly asked the housekeeper to go and see if she had dealt with it.
They no longer cared about what they did. They just did business honestly and didn't dare to target the Su family. The burning of those human traffickers was also a deterrent to other human traffickers. When doing human trafficking, they dared not be so blatant.
The Wang family was very pleased. Fortunately, they had diverted the blame to others at the time, otherwise the problem might have been traced back to them.
They were all glad that the traffickers were burned to death, which meant that the matter was over. If there were any survivors left, they would track them down layer by layer, and who knows who would be unlucky.
They all have their own shameful deeds, and it is only because they are good at cleaning up the mess that they have been able to stay safe for so many years.
After this incident, the Su family realized that the capital was not as safe as they had imagined. Whenever Su He went out, she would be accompanied by a master and a servant, and she was not allowed to go out with her maid.
