Chapter 282

282 Pennant

Most of the people didn’t have much legal awareness and wouldn’t pay attention to this sort of thing, so Zhao Bing decided to bluff her. He said with a smile, “He’s the person involved, so why can’t his testimony be accepted? Even a three-year-old can answer simple questions like whether or not they know anyone.”

When Chen Jia saw Zhao Bing’s smile, she felt a chill down her spine. She had no idea what was going on with Li Da, but she could only brace herself and insist. “Officer, I have no choice if you don’t believe me.”

Yu Bing suggested to Lin Ci, “I have a small suggestion. You can ask her if she knows the child who was in the snakeskin bag she’s holding.”

Lin Ci immediately understood Yu Bing’s intentions. Just now, everyone’s attention was on the child. Now, he could use the child as a distraction and ask whether Chen Yu had taken the snakeskin bag or not.

!!

Although Yu Bing didn’t see Chen Yu put the child into the snakeskin bag with her own eyes, she saw Chen Yu holding the snakeskin bag!

During the chase, from Chen Yu holding the snakeskin bag to her accomplice holding it, to Xiao Sheng catching up and Chen Yu’s accomplice throwing the child in the snakeskin bag away to protect himself, this was a sequential process.

As long as Chen Yu admitted that she had held the snakeskin bag, even if they couldn’t charge the mastermind, Chen Yu wouldn’t be able to escape the crime of being an insider and accomplice.

After Zhao Bing heard Lin Ci’s words, he wasn’t in a hurry to ask immediately. When Chen Jian saw Lin Ci come in, her expression became much more vigilant. It was obvious that she was worried that the police had new evidence against her.

Zhao Bing returned to the previous fruitless topic. Sensing that Chen Yu gradually revealed impatience, he suddenly asked the question.

As expected, Chen Yu denied it again. “I don’t know him.”

Zhao Bing smiled again and asked, “The snakeskin bag you were holding had a child in it, but you don’t know him?”

When Chen Yu heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Only then did she notice the trap Zhao Bing had set for her just now and a trace of panic finally appeared in her eyes.

Zhao Bing didn’t intend to let her answer. “Even if we can’t convict the main culprit, as an accomplice, you will be sentenced to at least 10 to 15 years in prison!”

Chen Yu swallowed nervously and lowered her head without saying anything else.

Lin Ci came in again and handed over the results of the police’s search near Chen Yu’s house.

After Zhao Bing took a look, he sat up straight and stared at Chen Yu’s face as he said, “Your child has congenital heart disease. I heard that he had a heart bypass surgery two months ago. This surgery is quite expensive, right? You married from elsewhere and don’t have a job. Your husband is just an ordinary worker in a paper factory. Where did you get the treatment fees from?”

Soon, Chen Xiao admitted that she had kidnapped the child. In order to reduce her sentence, she revealed the residence of her accomplice, Li Da.

Unfortunately, Li Da was vigilant and after shaking off Xiao Sheng, he didn’t go home again. However, the good news was that during the search, the police discovered a cellar in his house. The two little boys who had disappeared a few days ago were hidden in it.

Li Da lived alone at the edge of the village, a distance from the other villagers, so no one noticed the abnormality in his house.

This wasn’t the first time this group of people had committed a crime together. According to Chen Yu’s confession, Li Da was the liaison in this city, and his home was the liaison point.

Chen Yu had met Li Da when she brought her son to the hospital for treatment a year and a half ago. After Li Da found out about her family’s situation, he enticed her into joining them by offering a high return. Previously, they had helped find buyers and acted as a liaison. However, their profits were not as high as those of the seller, so she and Li Da conspired to change roles, resulting in three trafficking cases.

After the truth of the matter was revealed, Yu Bing sighed. Chen Yu was a kind mother, but in order to save her son, she chose to hurt another family. How hateful!

After Zhao Bing left the interrogation room, he looked at Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng as he said seriously, “It’s all thanks to you guys today. Otherwise, who knows how many children they would have kidnapped!”

Yu Bing smiled and said, “It’s a coincidence. If not for the sake of finding a suitable location for the office, we wouldn’t have chatted with those people. If I didn’t know about this in advance, I wouldn’t have connected the dots.”

Zhao Bing also smiled and said, “When will your office open? At that time, our police force will send you a silk banner and congratulate you on your opening.”

Yu Bing’s eyes lit up. This was much more useful than their own advertising. This was equivalent to official accreditation! It was the best signboard and sign of approval!
