He Zhou Just returned to the office and sat for a while, when a female detective in her forties, with wrinkles on her face, came to knock on the door.
"Officer Yan, do you need me for something?"
The female detective's name is Yan Su, and she is a veteran in the Criminal Investigation Division with extensive experience in handling cases. She often buys supper for everyone, so He Zhou has some impression of her.
"I want to talk to Captain Qi about the issue of trafficking of women," Yan Su hesitated for a moment, biting her lip as she spoke.
"Please have a seat and speak slowly," He Zhou raised his eyebrows and blew on the hot tea in his cup. "I wonder if Officer Yan has any insights?"
As a newcomer, He Zhou was happy to have someone come to him to report the situation.
Some bosses will say when hiring people that they are bringing employees back to solve problems, not to push the problems back to the boss.
Actually, He Zhou feels that this kind of thinking is problematic. After all, the boss is the master, and once this kind of mindset is formed, what he will inevitably reap is deceit and concealment from his subordinates. Because in the long-term mindset, employees have already formed the habit of concealing problems as soon as they are discovered.
As for letting them solve the problem, that's just wishful thinking. The reality is that they can't solve the problem at all.
Ideally, there are always more solutions than difficulties, but in reality, there are often more difficulties than solutions.
Racking your brains may not necessarily solve the existing problem.
Yan Su calmed down and pondered for a moment before organizing his thoughts and saying, "In fact, there is a phenomenon of trafficking in women and children in rural areas, which is an unspoken truth."
I have also handled similar cases before. In rural areas, some young men from poor families who are not good-looking have trouble finding a wife, so their first thought is to buy one from another place. This kind of thing is quite common and not new.
"Was there no one to take care of it before?" He Zhou frowned slightly.
The physical and psychological needs of older male youth can be understood, but this is not an excuse for turning to illegal and criminal activities.
If you really want to say it, the only possible reason a man can't find a wife is being poor. As for looks, that's actually secondary.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many examples of men in their sixties and seventies marrying women in their twenties.
As for women who can't get married, it might be because they are truly ugly, so ugly that even old bachelors can't bear it and can't bring themselves to marry them.
To be honest, cases like this are very tricky.
The issue of buying a daughter-in-law may exist to a greater or lesser extent in all townships in Handong, and it is not solely a problem of Linzhou City and its subordinate districts and counties.
Usually, these kinds of matters are handled by the police station. However, often due to personal connections, a considerable number of people at the police station turn a blind eye to these matters unless someone reports it, in which case they will go through the motions of warning a few words.
The village committee is also not to be relied on; some of them might even be the main accomplices.
"Mainly, it's still a bit of a thankless task."
Yan Su flicked the stray hair around her ear and didn't beat around the bush, "Some women who were trafficked over here, after being taken care of for a long time and having children, lose the will to escape. We've had cases where we went to rescue them, only to be blamed by the victims."
"I remember very clearly, five years ago, we cracked a case of Trafficking of women. The women regained their freedom, had the chance to reunite with their parents in the city, but chose to return to the mountains without hesitation, back to the countryside, to live with the men and children."
"Even though we catch the criminals, the victims still hate us and want to eat our flesh and drink our blood..."
"Sister Yan, I understand the situation you're talking about," He Zhou comforted, "but we can't ignore the larger group of victims just because of a few individual cases."
You can say that among the group of women who have been trafficked, there are very few who choose to accept their fate and develop emotional ties with the criminals over a long period of time. There are also some ridiculous cases of women being influenced by simple rural men in the trafficking of women. But compared to the severely abused group of victims, these cases are really not worth mentioning.
You can't stop eating for fear of choking, and you can't ignore the existence of such a conscience-wrenching matter.
He Zhou knocked on the office desk, "Trafficking in women and children is a very serious criminal case. We cannot refrain from taking action just because it may involve too many families. If mishandled, it could lead to the breakup of many families and affect the overall stability of society."
We are criminal police. We only need to consider one question, which is to rescue the victims and give them a chance to reunite with their parents and friends.
If, after we rescue the victim, she chooses to return voluntarily, it is her personal choice and freedom. We have done our best, fulfilled our duty, and lived up to our uniform.
Yan Su took a deep breath and hesitantly reminded, "Captain Qi, this matter is very sensitive. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"
"There's no need to look back!"
He Zhou clenched his fist and slammed the table fiercely, his expression cold and stern as he said, "A simple change of perspective would make it clear. If our child were trafficked to an unfamiliar place, with no news from home, it would be heartbreaking and despair-inducing. We should not let sympathy overwhelm us, or consider the issue from the perspective of the abuser. We are People's Police, criminal investigators, and our duty is to combat crime and safeguard people's lives and property!"
