Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1398 Hunting Crime + Fireworks 23

Cai Manni, the name of the fake He Hong and the real M, also has a list of women who were trafficked through the Mei Di Beauty Salon.

But she provided these lists with conditions. First, she also provided some information about the killer who killed Lei Yifei and promised to cooperate with the police to capture the killer. Secondly, she asked for a reduction in her sentence.

Xu Qin, who was listening outside, thought that she was daydreaming. Trafficking in women and children is a serious crime, but it does not necessarily warrant the death penalty. However, she killed Mu Wei with her own hands. Not only did she objectively intend to frame others, she also subjectively wanted Mu Wei to die, and even let Chu Tianqi take the blame for her!

Sure enough, Du Cheng was unwilling to fool around and said directly: "First of all, it is an ironclad fact that you killed Mu Wei. You even had the intention of instigating Chu Tianqi to rob Jiufu Jewelry. Add to that the girls you abducted, and the possibility of you having a good ending is extremely small."

Cai Manni has her own reasoning: "If a knife kills someone, and you don't blame the person holding the knife but blame the knife, how unfair it is to me!"

Du Cheng laughed directly, "So you are fully responsible for Mu Wei's death."

Cai Manni had no choice. No matter what she did now, it seemed that she could not earn a way out for herself. She was really unwilling to accept this.

However, there was nothing she could do, as she had indeed done many things that violated the law and morality. Even if her identity as a human trafficker were made known to society, she would only be condemned by everyone.

In the end, Cai Manni had to agree to cooperate with the police unconditionally, and Xu Qin took the opportunity to ask: "How did you determine the target for each trafficking in the beauty salon?"

"Based on the trafficked people we know about, you tend to be young and inexperienced, with very clear social connections, especially those who don't have a good relationship with their family members."

Cai Manni's face changed, and she was surprised but also a little terrified and thoughtful. After a long while, she spoke up, "In the beginning, we used the free beauty treatment as a gimmick to screen out young girls who were lucky enough to come to our beauty salon on their own initiative."

Xu Qin changed the way she put it: "Perhaps I should ask, in addition to distributing flyers, what other channels have you used for promotion?"

This time, Cai Manni was silent for a longer time, so long that everyone thought she couldn't say anything. Suddenly, she said firmly: "Although I don't know who is manipulating me behind the scenes, I am sure I have heard that person's voice."

Old Yan, who accompanied Xu Qin in the inquiry, pressed on: "You know who he is, right?"

Cai Manni said: "It was not until I was sure that Cao Dong had found and followed me not long ago that I unexpectedly heard the voice of the man behind the scenes in the Tongcheng Company's advertisement, so I left a recording of the phone call at that time."

Du Cheng was extremely excited. To be honest, even if Xu Qin had provided some ideas that he had not thought of before, he would not casually suspect Chen Zhou, the big boss of Tongcheng Company, without any supporting evidence!

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that when Xu Qin and Jiang Feng brought Cai Manni back, they acted as if they were asking her to come to the bureau to cooperate in the investigation of Mu Wei's death.

The case of Mu Wei's death has also been closed. Because Cai Manni is involved in other cases, the trial process will not be initiated for the time being.

Cao Dong, who was on the run, had a keener sense of danger than Cai Manni and disappeared directly from the surveillance. The problem was that Shen Yi was unable to draw a portrait of Cao Dong, as there were quite a few Cao Dongs that could be found in the system in the city.

The only thing that comforts everyone now is that Cao Dong himself did not change his name, but this also shows that he definitely has a job that looks very legitimate and gives him a lot of free time as a cover.

Du Cheng directly pointed at Xu Qin: "Master, please tell me how you feel. You can even keep an eye on Chen Zhou from Tongcheng Company. There must be some clues that can help us find Cao Dong as soon as possible, right?"

No one could find this Cao Dong through mobile phone calls or other software, so now everyone got together to brainstorm in order to eliminate as many "Cao Dongs" as possible.

Xu Qin was also having a headache. Chen Zhou made his fortune on the Internet, and the technology he possessed in this area was not necessarily any worse than Li Han's. What's more, his company had a ready-made team and a ready-made platform.

"For Cao Dong, first of all, his residence is not important. What is important is his workplace, so people with sports cars are the first choice."

Shen Yi also provided screening criteria: "Age, Cao Dong should be between 35 and 45 years old."

Xu Qin added: "In terms of work, we can rule out security guards, food delivery drivers, and factory workers, but we cannot rule out auto mechanics."

Then Xu Qin had an idea, "Cai Manni said that when she was talking to Cao Dong, she heard the voice of Chen Zhou appearing in the Tongcheng Company advertisement. And I noticed that the advertisement shot by Chen Zhou of Tongcheng Company has not been released on the market, so this location must be very rare."

But it is difficult to investigate the advertisement of Tongcheng Company because asking about it is likely to alert the enemy.

Everyone brainstormed for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea, and there were still hundreds of "Cao Dong" selected by Li Han left in this city alone.

Xu Qin held her head and wailed, "Then I'll just ask Chen Zhou directly!"

Du Cheng was also undecided, and Shen Yi advised: "This Chen Zhou is also a very conceited person. Even though he was so successful, he still did not forget to manipulate and plan criminal acts such as human trafficking. Maybe his desire to conquer Xu Qin is due to Xu Qin's identity as a police officer."

Xu Qin opened the chat history with Chen Zhou directly on her phone, and then she noticed that the time displayed on the phone was during working hours. She couldn't help but put the phone back, "It's working hours now. The cases handled by our Jiangbei Branch recently are not secrets at all in the eyes of people like Chen Zhou. If I ask now, I might really alert the enemy."

Just then, Sister Fei came over to inform everyone that He Hong's mother had arrived. Xu Qin and Li Han came forward and told her mother what had happened to He Hong. They also notified the community to send Xiao An over.

Faced with this heartbroken mother who was crying and cursing, Xu Qin could only secretly give Xiao An a sum of living expenses. Together with the remaining legal income of Chu Tianqi, it was enough for Xiao An to spend until she graduated from college.

He Hong was originally an innocent person. In the eyes of He Hong's mother, although Chu Tianqi, the cheap son-in-law, had committed a crime, his feelings for He Hong and Xiao An could not be fake. What's more, Xiao An's father in the legal sense was Mu Wei, the innocent victim. He Hong's mother had only pity for Xiao An.

Most of the people abducted by Cai Manni were rescued, and Xu Qin finally found out where Chen Zhou's advertisement was broadcast - Chen Zhou's alma mater and the city library.

It just so happened that there was an employee named Cao Dong in the municipal library, and he was 39 years old, so the age matched.
