Chapter Fourteen Vehicle Inquiry

  Wu Hui had a strong feeling that he would soon meet the mysterious person again, but this time, what was the reason for his appearance by Wu Hui's side?

  Guo Yining was worried that Wu Hui would be in danger, so he decided to follow him and protect him, letting him return to the Major Crimes Investigation Unit for the time being and not go home yet.

  Wu Hui knew he wouldn't be in any danger if the mysterious person really wanted to take action against him, as they had had plenty of opportunities over the past five years and wouldn't have waited until now.

  However, Liu Chong's case had not been solved yet, and Wu Hui did not want to go home either, so he agreed with Guo Yining and followed him back to the Major Crimes Investigation Division.

  Wang Hua had been waiting for Guo Yining in the team for a long time. Previously, Guo Yining had asked him to investigate something and now he had the results. "Captain Guo, you're back! I've found out about those cars."

  Guo Yining poured a cup of hot water for Wu Hui, hoping he could warm himself up, then turned around and took the materials from Wang Hua's hand, "Whose car is this?"

  Wang Hua told Guo Yining the information he had found, "The owners of these cars are all a man named Wang Kai, who is the boss of a car rental company. These cars have been rented out to others for a long time."

  Guo Yining flipped through the documents in her hand, "Rental? Who rented these cars?"

  "They were all women, and they not only rented cars but also drivers. They usually went out at night and rarely during the day. It was just these few women." Wang Hua took out the photos of several women from the materials and placed them in front of Guo Yining.

  "King Ruo Lan?" From many photos, Guo Yining recognized King Ruo Lan at a glance, and he handed the photo to Wu Hui.

  Apart from Wang Ruolan, Guo Yining handed over other people's photos to Wang Hua, "Check these few people and see what their identities are?"

  "I've already checked, these people are all students of Lincheng University, including undergraduates and graduate students. They each rented a car separately, not together. I also asked the car owner Wang Kai, but he wasn't very clear about other things." These people have been investigated by Wang Hua, but she hasn't gone to question them yet.

  "Alright, I know." Wu Hui saw the name on the photo and called Zhang Qiang. Soon, several girls' information was found by Zhang Qiang.

  "What's up? What did you find?" Guo Yining asked.

  "Just now, I had Zhang Qiang check the transaction accounts of several women including Wang Ruolan. Their income is suspicious. Now if we compare the vehicle entry and exit monitoring time we previously investigated with the receipts in my hand, we will find the problem."

  Wu Hui once again pulled out the toll gate monitoring records and cross-checked them with Zhang Qiang's account, only to find that every time a vehicle left, money would be deposited into this person's account, mostly in units of 10,000.

  With this evidence, Guo Yining can go catch people. As long as one person speaks up, the big fish can be reeled in.

  Guo Yining had the women in the photos brought back one by one for questioning. After a night of interrogation, Guo Yining finally got an answer: these people didn't know who organized the prostitution activities either. They were all in a group sending out some photos, and then the administrator of the group would send their photos to Moments (a social media platform). If someone was interested in a particular person, they would inform them through WeChat. After the transaction was successful, they would also give the administrator an introduction fee.

  Nobody else knew who the administrator was in WeChat, but one person said a name that nobody had thought of, and that person was Zheng Jiahui, Liu Xilei's roommate.

  When the police reappeared at Zheng Jiahui's dormitory, Zheng Jiahui knew what was going on.

  These days she found that several women in her hand did not go on WeChat, and there was a bad feeling in her heart.

  Yang Rong was shocked to see Zheng Jiahui appear in the Major Crimes Investigation Unit, her jaw almost dropping. A woman who would blush at the mention of a kiss was actually one of the organizers of prostitution. It's really true that you can't judge people by their appearance, and she had been deceived by her initially.

  Zheng Jiahui didn't say a word after arriving at the interrogation room, she just kept her head down and refused to speak no matter how the interrogators asked.

  Wu Hui stood outside the interrogation room, looking at Zheng Jiahui sitting inside. She had a strong sense of self-protection and also understood that if she admitted to organizing prostitution, she would face severe consequences.

  Wu Hui asked Yang Rong to go and talk to her, hoping to open a door through kinship.

  Actually, when Zheng Jiahui first got the money, she should have thought it would end like this. She had originally planned to quit after graduation, but once you put your hand out, it's easy, and taking it back is really hard.

  Zheng Jiahui's brother has been idle and unemployed, and the family's food, clothing, and expenses have all relied on the money Zheng Jiahui sent back. If she really lost this income, she didn't know what her brother would do or how her mother would manage.

  Yang Rong hopes she can be lenient if she confesses, says who her superior is, so as to reduce her punishment. If she doesn't speak out, the police will also investigate and by then it'll be too late for her to say anything.

  Under Yang Rong's constant guidance, Zheng Jiahui finally spoke up.

  She said she also inadvertently joined a WeChat group, where people said that as long as she introduced women to him, he would give her a referral fee. Depending on the quality of the goods, the intermediary fees received were also between 2,000 and 5,000 yuan. At that time, Zheng Jiahui really needed money, although at first she was reluctant, but in the face of money, she compromised.

  She still remembers the feeling of getting her first commission, both excited and nervous, but gradually this feeling disappeared. She had more and more photos of girls in her hands, and her income was increasing. With these earnings, she not only paid for her own tuition fees but also built a new house for her brother, married him off, and sent her sick mother to the best hospital for treatment.

  Zheng Jiahui was just a small intermediary, and as for who her superior was, she wasn't very clear either. That person had been in contact with her through WeChat.

  Yang Rong asked about Liu Xilei's situation, asking if she knew who the customer was that Liu Xilei had met with that day. Zheng Jiahui said it was an old client, he often came to her place to pick people, basically once or twice a month, and each time he would give her a lot of referral fees.

  The day Liu Xile disappeared was when she received this client's order. She went out and never came back again.

  As for this old client, Zheng Jiahui was also unclear about it. She only collected the money and never asked about other things, which is the most basic professional rule for being an intermediary.

  Yang Rong came out of the interrogation room, looking at Wu Hui standing outside. She felt very tired. Zheng Jiahui was actually a good girl, and she did all this for her family members. However, although it was worth sympathizing with, the mistake she made was not worthy of sympathy in the eyes of the law.

  Zheng Jiahui had another mobile phone, which was her business network. She also used that mobile phone to contact people on it. She told Yang Rong where she hid the other mobile phone and asked Yang Rong to bring someone to find it.

  Zhang Qiang was about to investigate further, so Wu Hui let Zhang Qiang use Zheng Jiahui's mobile phone to search layer by layer. Soon he found a WeChat account that was registered with a mobile phone number. Through the mobile phone inquiry, it was an unregistered phone card, but through GPS positioning, Zhang Qiang found that the card was in Lincheng University.

  Locking in the location, Guo Yining took Fang You and Yang Rong over there. The person was none other than the president of Lincheng University. At first, he refused to admit his involvement, but when Guo Yining pulled out the unregistered mobile phone from his desk drawer, he was completely stunned, unable to utter a word, and meekly followed Guo Yining back to the Serious Crimes Investigation Department.

  Through his confession, Guo Yining caught the manager of 2046 and found a hidden place inside. Behind 2046 was an office building where all sorts of women were gathered, while the men there were either rich or noble.

  That night, police cars with sirens could be seen on the streets of Lincheng, parked at the entrance of 2046, and various beauties and bosses who lowered their heads to cover their faces came out of 2046.

  Kuo Yining took out Liu Chong's photo and asked the women inside if they knew this person. Several of them recognized him, saying that he was a strange man who would come to consume but never do anything with them, instead lecturing them on morality and advising them to respect themselves and learn self-protection.

  They came here just to make money, although the man's preaching made them very disgusted, as if he were a teacher or parent, but he gave a lot of money, with money, everything is easy to say, and it's okay to listen to his nonsense.

  Originally investigating Liu Chong's murder case, unexpectedly uncovered a high-end prostitution ring in the city, where most of the prostitutes were highly educated and had respectable identities.

  By day they are high-achieving professionals, doctors and lawyers, but by night they transform into beautiful and alluring prostitutes, catering to the desires of wealthy and powerful men.

  Just as they were celebrating the cracking of a major prostitution ring case, news came from Lincang University that a female student had gone missing.

  Kuo Yining received the report and immediately let Fang You and Yang Rong go to Lincheng University, while he and Wu Hui rushed to Liu Chong's school. When they arrived at Liu Chong's school, his colleagues said that Liu Chong had been ill recently and was on leave at home.

  Then the two came to Liu Chong's home, but there was no one in the house. Liu Chong had disappeared.

  Wu Hui and the other person arrived at Wang He's school, asking where Liu Chong had gone. Wang He didn't know either. A few days ago, she had a big argument with Liu Chong over her divorce and then moved out to live in the school dormitory. After that, the two of them lost contact.

  Fang You and Yang Rong investigated and found that the missing woman was named Han Xue, also a girl from the prostitution group. She went out last night and never came back. Through household registration investigation, it was discovered that Han Xue was not a local resident. The places she frequently visited were 2046, but she did not appear there last night, so she should have been taken away by someone outside.

  Guo Yining immediately applied for a search warrant. He wanted to thoroughly search Liu Chong's home, hoping to find clues and rescue Han Xue.
