Chapter 1

The police car drove slowly among the mountains, and the winding mountain road ahead seemed to be quietly swallowed by endless peaks.

In the face of nature, humans always feel their insignificance

Facing this mountain is like facing the fate of having an entity, irresistible and unable to break free

I patted the person next to me on the shoulder and asked: How far is it?

The man who was caught in the middle of the back seat of the police car by me and another colleague raised his handcuffed hands and pointed to the mountain in front of the police car that blocked half of the sky. He replied respectfully: Leader, cross that mountain, cross another hill and then arrive.

This guy wanted to squeeze out a smile, but his bruised mouth twitched a few times, and finally couldn't laugh. The expression on his face became even worse than crying

I beat the corner of his mouth. In addition to the corner of his mouth, I beat him up and kicked him a few times.

But this kid is pretty well-behaved and insists that he fell down.

Yes, this is a human trafficker

This human trafficker looks like most of my compatriots. At first glance, he looks honest and honest, like a migrant worker or a small vendor. He always laughs, making people unable to feel wary of him.

Only when those small eyes turn, they occasionally shine with a cunning light.

But it’s just such a honest and honest guy who has abducted and sold more than ten women and several children

More than a dozen families are broken, and I don’t know how many people’s lives will be destroyed from then on

I have always believed that human trafficking is the worst crime in the world, even more than murder and drug trafficking

Because the victim's suffering caused by murder is short-lived, after the criminal is punished, the victim's relatives can be relieved, and drug trafficking is not accompanied by deprivation of freedom and dignity of others.

Only trafficking in persons will bring long pain to many people and deprive the victims of their freedom and dignity.

The relatives of the victims are not able to gradually let go like the family members of the victims of the murder case. They will look for them with slim hopes and look forward to their relatives returning, and will never be able to escape for the rest of their lives.

Human trafficking cases have caused the pain of trafficking in women, especially

Because of the crime of trafficking in children, the victim himself often doesn’t feel much pain because he is young.

Only trafficking of women is accompanied by illegal imprisonment, kidnapping, fraud, rape, intentional injury... This kind of pain often accompanys the lives of victims and relatives, several years, dozens of years, decades

There are few cases of victims who are mentally ill in children, but there are many records of victims going crazy or even commit suicide in women.

Whenever such a crime occurs, it means that a father like my father will die in guilt and longing.

Every crime like this means that a brother like me who refuses to give up will start his lifelong search.

So, I always thought the punishment for these assholes was too light

They do not regard people as humans, but as goods or animals, so they will be treated like animals.

But I'm just a policeman, all I can do is to arrest all the beasts I've met

Then no matter whether they resist or not, they will beat them up during arrest.

Do your best to collect evidence of guilt so that they can be sentenced to a heavier

Then, like now, take these beasts and rescue the victims they sold like goods or animals.

I actually already know that the possibility of meeting Xin'er is basically zero, let alone saving her with my own hands

There may not be any miracles in this world

But I still do this tirelessly. In addition to expecting a miracle to happen, more importantly, even if I save my heart, it will be someone else's heart.

Every time I bring those victims to their loved ones, the reunion scenes make me feel briefly that it is myself, as if I am hugging my heart, laughing and crying

Even if I can't meet Xin'er again, over the years, I have let countless mothers find their children, many fathers find their daughter, and many brothers find their hearts.

The policeman who Xin'er sacrificed herself is constantly rescuing people who had encountered like her. If Xin'er knew, she would be proud of herself.

My colleagues all know that I hate trafficking women, but no one knows why

I have never mentioned Xin'er to others, only Miao'er. When we were passionate, we heard me call Xin'er's name a few times, but we didn't know who she was

Now, in addition to our branch, even other branch and even municipal bureaus have a trafficking case, it is basically left to me to investigate.

When facing such a case, I will become a completely different person, fanatical and paranoid, and scary

And when I arrested, I would always beat the traffickers to death, and I handcuffed them into the hospital several times.

But everyone turned a blind eye. After all, it is not an interrogation when arresting criminals. It is normal to take a heavier move.

My success rate of cracking such cases is 100%.

Of course, it is not difficult to crack a human trafficking case, but my success rate of rescuing victims is also 100%.

This is an incredible achievement

So this time, the municipal bureau handed over the case to me again

I caught all the traffickers, and then I took this walkable guy to rescue the victim

After two months of going back, several children returned to their biological parents.

Several girls also escaped from the cage and shackles

Among them, I don’t have my heart, and several parents said to me in tears:

Officer Yang, you will definitely get a good reward

Officer Yang, you will rebuild your kindness to my family

Officer Yang, I will chant scriptures and pray for you every day in the future

A grandmother hugged her granddaughter and said to me in tears: Lord Yang, you have accumulated a great virtue. It is a great virtue in the future. You will definitely be granted a marquis and a prime minister. If you have a lot of children and grandchildren, you will become a god if you die...

There is another family who is Christian. When I appeared before them with their children, the mother held the Bible in one hand and stroked the top of my head with the other, and said devoutly: Officer Yang is the angel sent by Christ to thank the Lord

I don't believe in these superstitions or religions, but I still hope to get blessings, hope that there is really something to bless me, and hope that there will be something to guide me to find my heart

There are also the last three victims who were sold to the same village in the mountains.

Do they have my heart?

I dare not expect a miracle to happen this time, because time doesn't match

These three victims have been trafficked in the past two years, and my heart has been missing for seven or eight years.

The police car crossed the last mountain mentioned by the trafficker, and a dilapidated village appeared in front of him.

We rushed into the village with lightning speed and found all three victims in a row according to the guidance of human traffickers.

They really don't have heart, I'm glad that there is no

Because one of the girls' legs was broken, the other was pregnant with Liujia, and the other was like a heart, and was a little dazed, but it seemed that there was still a possibility of healing.

Because it was afternoon, most of the laborers were still working outside, so the rescue work was quite smooth

But when I sent the three victims to the second police car, a large number of villagers quickly gathered in the village.

There is no doubt that these ignorant people intend to use violence to stop me from taking away the women they bought.

But I have long been used to this kind of scene. I calmly said to my colleague who was driving in the second van: You rushed out, I will cover you up and don’t stop, don’t look back, someone approaches and fires a gun to warn and keeps going back to our city. Then I said to the policewoman who cared for the victim: Sister Zhou, you must pay attention to your safety and should not hesitate when you should shoot.

Those who came out with me to perform such tasks are excellent colleagues, and my previous achievements made them believe in my arrangements.

I was about to close the car door, but the girl with broken legs supported the car door and said to me tremblingly: Brother, there is also a sister next to my house who was abducted by a trafficking company. I heard that it has been several years since I was in a state of mind. Wouldn't you save her?

Another one?

I frowned in confusion because all the victims of this case have been rescued

That is to say, this victim has nothing to do with the case I am executing.

The time for retreating safely was fleeting, and I immediately made a decision: You go, I will look back. After saying that, I closed the car door and watched the van buzz out. The villagers gathered on the roadside retreated one after another, then disappeared outside the entrance of the village, then turned around and walked towards the police car he was riding in, grabbed the collar of the human trafficker and shouted: You are not honest, there are still women who are kidnapped in this village!

The human trafficker looked at me in panic and begged: Leader! It really doesn't have anything I sold. It seems that there were things that happened almost ten years ago. A widow bought a crazy woman for her stupid son as her wife, and wanted to keep a seed... It's really okay for me for such a long time! If you don't believe me, go and ask Ah... Is it almost ten years ago? I only started selling people in the past three years, leader, you know...

Want to retreat immediately?

I glanced at the villagers who were holding farm tools, knives and forks, and even mud guns, and shouted: Which one?

The trafficker was as if he had received a general amnesty and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: It was the leader of the house next door to rescue the woman, the most dilapidated house...

I let go of him and said to my colleague who was driving: You guys leave the village immediately, I'll take a look. After that, I turned around and ran to the depths of the village.

My actions surprised the villagers and forgot to intercept the police car for a while

The two colleagues called out Team Yang twice, and then, helpless, drove out of the village entrance in a police car.

And I put aside my fear and tension, tried to remain calm, and rushed towards the dilapidated dirt house that the human traffickers said

That house reminds me of the disappearing home that I lived with Xin'er, but it was even more dilapidated than ours.

The low adobe wall has a deep crack, and the roof is paved with thatch and branches on the top of the wall

There are two holes in the wall, covered with black plastic paper

When the mountain wind blows, it makes a whirring sound

A man squatted in front of the door covered by two wooden boards with unseen colors. I don't know if he is four or forty years old.

The upper body was wearing a shiny hard-shelled cotton jacket, but the lower body was naked, and he was tilted with his face raised, looking at me and laughing

The blank eyes made me feel sad

But I didn't hesitate and rushed straight into the door from him.

The man laughed as if he had seen the most interesting scene

And when I glanced inside the house, I found that there was almost nothing in the house.

In the dark outer room, there is only a vague portrait hanging on the earth wall facing the gate, saying, "The Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva"

There is a futon in front of the portrait, and the grass stems on the futon are already shiny, and the marks on the knees can be clearly seen.

Are there really gods in this world? Even if there is, how can you respond to your prayers?

There is a door without a door on both sides of the outer room, leading to the inner room, just like the home I lived with Xin'er.

I didn't see any trafficking woman. When I was hesitating to see which room I should have looked first, a song suddenly sounded in my ears

The singing is weak and almost difficult to distinguish

But to me, it is the loudest roar in this world

Good brother, save me, the fox grabbed me, ran across the hill

Good brother, save me, the jackal grabbed me, ran back to its nest...

This song that was once familiar but had not been heard for many years was like a shocking sound in my mind. At that moment, I just felt that the world was spinning rapidly.

I subconsciously reached out to hold the earth wall, and earth chips fell from my fingers, and the spasm of my fingers fell.

After a while, I raised my head in sweat and looked at the Bodhisattva statue on the wall like a pleading

The merciful god is looking at me gently with an elusive smile

For a moment, those strange and chaotic statements poured into my mind like a tide

I was shaking all over and moaned.

Have I accumulated enough good deeds?

Did my prayer get a response?

Have I finally found my search?

But I still can't believe it, I even began to doubt whether I was still alive, whether the world was real or imagined

I'm even wondering if I'm mentally ill, too

I looked at the black door with singing, but I was so scared that I couldn't move my steps

It was not until the man, who was four or forty, walked in from outside the house with a laugh, that I was shocked and woke up.

I thought about my situation and heard the noise outside the house

I have to act immediately, no matter who the woman singing in the room is

I touched my face, sweating profusely, then spread my trembling legs and strode towards the door
