Chapter 309: Insanity
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, this Chen Ying is my student. Can you please persuade her?" Hu Mei appeared in the house and said to Lu Xi very seriously.
"Okay, we have three people who have agreed to be witnesses, and there is no shortage of him." Although Lu Xiyan was unhappy, he also knew that he was indeed not suitable for this work.
"Thanks."
Hu Mei, thanked her, and called the one named Chen Ying away alone.
"Brother Anzi, Sister Mei was very brave yesterday. She was the first to rush in with me and fought with those people." Meng Fanxing said.
"Is that true?" Lu Xiyan felt a little surprised. He fell in love with such a weak woman and actually had such courage.
"Yes, Hu Mei is the best Chinese teacher here, and the class she teaches is also the best." Principal Xu said.
"Well, I think Qihua Girls' School can set up a reward for bravery. Whether it is a student or a teacher, as long as you see a crime and stand up and stop it, you can get this reward!" Lu Xiyan said, "Especially girls, you must strive for self-improvement and learn to protect yourself."
"Mr. Lu's proposal is very good, but the school is now short of funds. In the past, our middle school department also offered self-defense courses such as martial arts. Now it is subject to conditions and no longer has the ability." Principal Xu's eyes lit up.
"I will solve the problem of money. As for hiring coaches and training venues, this is not difficult. Even if you can't defend yourself, you can strengthen your body, right?" Lu Xiyan said.
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu spared no effort to our Qihua Girls' School." Principal Xu thanked.
"On the one hand, my wife was also from your Qihua Girls' School. This is her alma mater. In this chaotic world, women are more difficult than men. We should protect them more." Lu Xiyan said.
"Mr. Lu said too much. In this society, there are not many people as enlightened as you."
"I just felt it, and the key is to change the current situation of our country. If this continues, the Japanese will not destroy us, and we will also sink and fall." Lu Xiyan said.
"Mr. Lu's words are reasonable."
"Where is my gender, I can't come to school often. So, if you have any problems in Qihua Girls' School in the future, you can just go to my wife, and of course you can just come to me directly." Lu Xiyan said, "So, Principal Xu, if you have any difficulties, don't be afraid of trouble and feel embarrassed to speak."
"I know, thank you Mr. Lu." Principal Xu bowed deeply.
"Sir, the lawyer is here." Yan Lei came over, carrying a briefcase, wearing glasses, and looking kind-hearted middle-aged man.
"Hello, Dr. Lu, Pan Liang must be the lawyer of United Law Firm. I am so happy to see you." Pan Liang took out a business card and handed it over.
"Hello, Lawyer Pan, I guess Yan Lei has already told you about the case." Lu Xiyan took the business card and took a look, put it in his pocket.
"I understand it in general."
"What are your ideas for this case?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Dr. Lu, the case is still being solved, but judging from the current evidence, as long as the victims of this case can be persuaded to appear in court to testify, we will basically be invincible. However, it is hard to say how many years the other party is sentenced to and the compensation they receive." Pan Liang said.
"Do you know the danger in this case?"
"I know, I have taken over such cases in my hands, but the plaintiff has withdrawn the lawsuit and finally left it alone." Pan Liang said.
"Has anyone threatened Lawyer Pan?"
"If you do our job, you will definitely offend people, threaten them, and so on." Pan Liang smiled, obviously he had already gotten used to it.
"I have no other request. Just send the evil person to prison and receive the punishment he deserves." Lu Xiyan said, "Lawyer Pan doesn't have to worry about safety. I will arrange two personal bodyguards for you. They will protect you and your family's safety for 24 hours until the case is completed."
"This is not necessary. I still have confidence in my life's safety."
"I don't want Lawyer Pan to have any accidents in the middle of this case." Lu Xiyan said, "They will not interfere in your private life. This is one of the conditions for me to invite you."
"Then it's better to obey your duty than respect." Pan Liang thought for a moment, nodded and agreed. This case was indeed risky. If he really wanted to speak for the victim female student, could those human traffickers let him go?
"Yan Lei, I'm leaving this matter to you. Be sure to arrange the most capable personnel to protect the safety of Lawyer Pan." Lu Xiyan said.
"Yes, sir."
...
In addition to the four female students in Qihua Girls' Middle School, there are seven or eight other abducted girls. The younger one is only six years old and the older one is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
These rescued girls were sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
Their physical condition is much worse, they have long-term poor nutrition, and have been abused by inhumanely, and most of them have physical problems.
If you are not sent to the hospital in time, you are afraid that it will be serious and you may die.
Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing bought some nutritional supplements, went to the hospital to visit these children, and agreed with the church that they would recover from the illness and temporarily took these girls in the welfare home.
It is also a temporary place to shelter from the wind and rain.
These girls are young and don’t remember where they are. They can only identify them from their accents. It’s okay if they are a little older.
After identification, they basically came from the Yellow Flood area north of the Huai River.
In the Qianlihuang area, many people are homeless and become displaced refugees. Perhaps people will follow these places with a bite of food.
Faced with such a bloody reality, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
No one can tell how many such sins exist, but it is conceivable that so many people have been rescued from this "Yiao Ertang". How many such places are there in the entire French Concession and even the entire Shanghai Beach?
How many girls are forced to use their bodies to exchange for poor food and a little chance of survival?
To some extent, these traffickers gave them a hope of living, and if they weren't for them, maybe these people would starve to death and be sick.
The reality is so cruel. After tearing it apart, it is bloody, naked.
...
Law arresting room, Tang Jin's office of the Political Department.
"Inspector General, do we really want to intervene in this case?" Qi Huan said, "This Ren Wenzhen is not a good character. Jin Jiu even made him three points. Moreover, Lao Fan from the Criminal Department has a very special relationship with Salli's super inspector general."
"Do you think this is done by Ren Wenzhen when he does something like this?" Tang Jin asked back.
"Indeed, Ren Wenzhen did too much this time. The rabbit didn't eat grass by his nest. He was too brave and dared to attack in the concession..."
"I received the news that Ren Wenzhen was secretly doing business with the Japanese and sent the girls tricked from the Yellow River to the Japanese comfort center." Tang Jin said.
"What, this bastard!"
"This is no longer a shameless person, but even a beast." Tang Jin said, "So, this time we are not only helping with righteousness, but also cutting off this black hand."
"Inspector General, I understand. We will do whatever you say." Qi Huan said indignantly.
"Let Ma Xiaowu invite Consultant Lu. I have something to discuss with him." Tang Jin ordered.
"Yes, Inspector General."
...
Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing were in a bad mood. They returned home to have dinner at 2 noon, and they only took a few bites casually, and they felt really upset.
When Ma Xiaowu came, he just finished his meal.
Tang Jin had something to ask him for, so he had to go. He explained to Meng Fanxing and got into Ma Xiaowu's car.
Ma Xiaowu drove him to the Windsor Hotel.
"Lao Lu, here, sit down." Tang Jin took out a box, which was a box of cigars. "Try it, a friend of mine brought me from the United States, a South American Cuban product."
"This thing is too aggressive, I'm a little unaccustomed to it." Lu Xiyan declined.
"Try it, just get used to it." Tang Jin took out one, cut off the cigar cap, and handed it over.
"Okay." Lu Xiyan took it.
"I think you already know the relationship between Sister Wen and Ren Wenzhen. It's probably not easy for you to convict Sister Wen and even send them to prison." Tang Jin said, "I arrested people last night and were released this morning."
"Let it go?"
"bail."
"I haven't had forty-eight hours, but I've actually been released on bail?" Lu Xiyan was extremely angry.
"The law only states that the police have the right to withhold for forty-eight hours, but it does not say that this time must be deducted. For Sister Wen, she only admits that it restricts the freedom of those girls and has a detailed contract of selling body. According to the law, having a contract is reasonable and legal, so the legal house arrest can only be released on bail." (During the rule of the Kuomintang, as long as there is a contract between the people, it is reasonable and legal, and there is no so-called human rights, freedom, and equality.)
"It's already the Republic of China, and there are such unreasonable regulations. It's ridiculous that the police station actually used this as a reason to release her bail!"
"Even if you do things according to the laws of the concession, all the fireworks in the French concession will be sealed and closed, because if you check it carefully, they will do illegal activities, while pornography, gambling, and drugs never exist alone. If you want to sweep away all this, you have to have strong power, otherwise you will have to compromise." Tang Jin said.
"Brother Tang means today, come to be this lobbyist?" Lu Xiyan frowned. If Tang Jin advised him not to delve into it, then he would be under great pressure.
"No, I have no interest relationship with Ren Wenzhen, nor have any grudges and conflicts, nor will I be a lobbyist for him. I just remind you, what is the opponent you are facing."
Lu Xiyan was silent.
"I want to know that the so-called contract for sale should be signed and forged," Lu Xiyan asked.
"Most of them are real, there is no forgery. Only these four female students from Qihua Middle School were indeed abducted and trafficked, but for Sister Wen, she had only a guilty of being ignored because she bought it with real money."
Buying a person does not commit a crime, but whether the seller is guilty depends on the situation. If the parents sell their children, it is not a crime, but if it is an irrelevant person.
That's different.
The only person who can be investigated for this case is Chen Ying's big smoker brother, and "Sister Wen" may be fined at most a little at most, and even not even needed to go to jail.
No, this is not just a word of "not observing".
"Brother Tang, can you let such evil people go to justice? What they do is torture things. Those girls are just because they can't survive..."
"You said that they were sold if they couldn't survive."
"Damn it!" Lu Xiyan clenched his fists and said with gritted teeth.
"Lao Lu, have you heard of comfort women?"
"I have heard of the comfort woman, it is the Japanese army's prostitute." Lu Xiyan said.
"A considerable number of these trafficked women were sold to Japanese comfort stations in Shanghai to be lowly comfort women, where is the real purgatory on earth." Tang Jin sighed.
