I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 58 exposes human traffickers

"Brother Yang, you know what, I'm dreaming about killing that kid right now. I have a feeling he'll ruin my plans," Lu Peng sighed.

Yang Ming made a throat-slitting gesture, "Then we'll find someone from out of town to take care of him."

Lu Peng thought for a moment, "How about we wait until things calm down before making a move?"

Yang Ming waved his hand, "No need to wait, a lot of people are hoping that kid dies by accident right now."

"Then I'll find someone from eastern Guangdong. This time, I'll make sure that kid doesn't live past fifteen."

Lu Peng made up his mind. He always felt that Qi Tongwei was a time bomb that would one day blow him to pieces.

"Let's celebrate in advance, brothers! Cheers!"

"cheers"

They don't know that the worst thing you can do is open the champagne too early.

At the entrance of the Municipal Procuratorate.

Hu Tiechui, covered in dust from his journey, carried a large sack of walnuts from the mountains to thank Qi Tongwei.

After receiving a notification from the security guard, Qi Tongwei quickly ran downstairs.

"Prosecutor Qi, thank you."

Hu Tiechui knelt down as soon as he saw Qi Tongwei. This simple rural man really didn't know how to express the Hu family's gratitude.

The 30 yuan death compensation was something he never dared to dream of, yet Prosecutor Qi actually helped him obtain such a large sum of money.

Qi Tongwei quickly helped Hu Tiechui up, saying, "Uncle, this is a new society. You don't need to kneel before people anymore. I'm a prosecutor, and helping you is my duty."

Hu Tiechui, sweating profusely, gave an awkward laugh. "Prosecutor Qi, these are walnuts from my hometown in the mountains. Please don't mind them; my whole family is very grateful to you."

Qi Tongwei lifted the walnuts; they were quite heavy. "Uncle, I'll take the walnuts. I'll go get you a hotel to rest now."

"No need, no need, Prosecutor Qi, I need to take the afternoon bus back."

Hu Tiechui repeatedly refused. In order to save on hotel expenses, he arrived at midnight last night and slept for two hours at the bus station. The thieves at the bus station didn't bother to steal from him because he was dressed in rags.

Qi Tongwei saw that he was disheveled and dirty, and it was obvious that he hadn't rested well.

"Uncle, you've come all this way to deliver this to me, I can't let you leave right away. You have to stay the night, and I'll take you to the bus station tomorrow."

Hu Tiechui was very moved. The prosecutor in this city did not look down on him at all, unlike last night when he slept at the bus station and the staff treated him like a beggar and chased him away.

"Prosecutor Qi, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for three months."

Qi Tongwei noticed that his eyes were darting around, as if he was both afraid and guilty.

"you say"

Hu Tiechui hesitated, seemingly mustering a great deal of courage, and whispered:

"Prosecutor Qi, I've encountered human traffickers."

Qi Tongwei was startled. He hated human traffickers the most. In later generations, there were videos of parents searching for their children until their hair turned white, but the search was still endless. After watching them, he wished he could tear the traffickers to pieces.

"Uncle, tell me in detail, where are the human traffickers?"

“Three months ago, my neighbor went to collect mountain produce and asked me to help him carry it. In a place called Yaling Village, a young woman quietly told me that she had been kidnapped and that I should call the police. I told my neighbor, and he told me not to meddle and that the woman had been paid for, so I didn’t call the police.”

How foolish! In this day and age, the trafficking of women and children is rampant. It's a quick way to make money, so some people dare to take the risk.

This profession has existed since ancient times, and human traffickers always feel that they have done nothing wrong, since they are not committing murder or arson.

Seeing that Qi Tongwei's expression had changed, Hu Tiechui asked timidly, "Prosecutor Qi, did I do something wrong?"

Qi Tongwei sighed, "It's alright, uncle, it's not too late for you to say it now. You can't leave today, wait for me a while."

He quickly sent a message to Ye Xuan using his pager.

"Breaking news! Human traffickers! Come quick!"

Ye Xuan, who was lost in thought, suddenly perked up, "Wait for me!"

Seeing that Hu Tiechui seemed nervous, Qi Tongwei said, "Uncle, don't be afraid. The police will investigate and arrest people. You just need to show us the way."

Hu Tiechui nodded. He still remembered clearly how the young woman's face was covered in bruises.

Half an hour later, Ye Xuan arrived by car, and Qi Tongwei put the walnuts into the trunk.

After learning about the situation, Ye Xuan felt a strong sense of sympathy; as a woman herself, she could empathize with the situation.

"Uncle, why didn't you call the police sooner?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry"

Hu Tiechui lowered his head in shame.

"Reporter Ye, please stop blaming the uncle. It's not too late to go now."

"You're the one playing the good guy."

Never try to reason with an angry woman; this is a conclusion drawn from Qi Tongwei's many years of experience.

Silence is also a form of self-protection.

Upon arriving at the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei went to find He Aijun alone. He first needed to send someone in disguise to conduct an investigation, just in case there was a misunderstanding.

"What are you doing here, kid? You're really treating the police station like your own home," Zhao Donglai joked.

"Director He said I can be transferred to the police station at any time, and I'll still be your direct superior."

"You're so boastful, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? You've been showing off lately, and you've made a lot of people resentful of you."

"I'm a thug, who am I afraid of? I'm not arguing with you anymore, I need to talk to Director He about something."

"You're something else, you're really something, and you even went straight to Director He as soon as you arrived."

"You can also go to my supervisor."

"Not interested"

Upon arriving at He Aijun's office, Qi Tongwei greeted him with a smile, "Director He, are you busy?"

He Aijun put down the materials and said, "What are you doing here, kid? Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up."

Qi Tongwei straightened his back and became serious. "Director He, I just learned about a case of women trafficking from Hu Tiezhu's brother, Hu Tiechui, in Yaling Village. I request permission to investigate. If it's true, I'll immediately ask you for help."

He Aijun immediately took it seriously, "Is the situation true?"

"Hu Tiechui went to collect mountain goods with some people. A young woman asked him for help and told him to call the police, but he was scared and didn't. That happened three months ago."

Where is that Hu Tiechui?

"Right outside the police station, in Reporter Ye's car."

"How did the reporter find out?"

"Hu Tiechui came to deliver walnuts to thank me and reporter Ye for helping his family obtain compensation for his brother's death."

He Aijun immediately called Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai in.

Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai rushed over, and Qi Tongwei gave a brief account of what he knew.

"Director He, I agree with Qi Tongwei's opinion. To avoid alerting the enemy, let's send someone to scout ahead first."

"Director He, I'm willing to go on the reconnaissance," Zhao Donglai requested.

"Director He, let me go with Zhao Donglai."

"You're not a police officer, I don't agree."

Zhao Donglai seizes every opportunity to deflate Qi Tongwei's arrogance.

Qi Tongwei kicked Zhao Donglai in the backside, saying, "You little brat, you've really gone too far!"

Zhao Donglai was very surprised. "Director He, just pretend you didn't see it. Qi Tongwei has already taken us to the police station."

He Aijun pretended not to see it; he couldn't control Qi Tongwei, that troublemaker.

After much consideration, he finally agreed.

"Qi Tongwei, you go with Zhao Donglai to Yaling Village to investigate. If the situation is true, you must wait for reinforcements. Do not act rashly. I will speak with Ji Changming."

Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai were both shocked. Director He, whose Director He are you?
