The population market behind the Dashunfa Vegetable Market is said to have been crowded with black slaves selling cabbage during its heyday. There is a famous painting "Slave Market" that depicts this scene.
But now, the superficial form has become a labor recruitment market. Those black slaves and prostituted servants have signed lifelong death contracts. If they break the contract, it will be an astronomical sum that is simply unimaginable, especially for black slaves. As a rule, you don't need to apply for a residence permit. When you go out, you have a small iron plate from the owner's family as a proof of identity. It's better to work as a servant. The family is too poor and sells money to supplement the family. They will also apply for a residence permit. There are certain conditions. Civil rights, there is no way to redress your grievances unless you are beaten to death by your master.
However, in the past decade or so, this market has also been under great pressure and has often become the target of verbal and written criticism from newspapers and media. Moreover, this criticism has become increasingly fierce.
However, the owner of the market is a Western family with a long history in the East China Sea. Up to now, the family still retains a viscount title and a baron title that can be inherited. In addition, the upper class generally does not resist the use of domestic slaves. existence, so the sudden inspections and rectifications of the market are often carried out with loud thunder and small rain, and they pass safely every time.
Lu Ming walked around the market. Indeed, the place had long since lost its former glory and looked very depressed. Many tin houses were empty, and each tin house was actually a stall for human traffickers.
I feel like I can't find out anything by just looking around.
After coming out of the market and finding a public phone booth, Lu Ming called Wen Liangyu and asked him if there were any familiar merchants in the "Dashunfa Worker Market" and to introduce them to him.
Wen Liangyu was silent for a while and said, tonight, you can meet my second brother.
Lu Ming has not conducted a detailed investigation into the Wen family. Although it is a business place, since he is making friends, there is no need to be careful about everything.
However, come to think of it, Beiguan once had one of the largest slave markets in the empire. How could the Wen family not get involved in the lucrative slave trade?
It seems that the second eldest son of the Wen family has inherited and taken charge of this business.
……
The five tigers of the Wen family are named Wenliangmei, Wenliangren, Wenliangru, Wenliangyu, and Wenlianghe.
It seems that Wen Liangyu's father, the former godfather of Beiguan, really has no education, but Lao Wu, the word "harmony", has achieved good results.
However, it is rumored that the internal conflicts among the Wen family's five tigers are also serious, especially the eldest brother Wen Liangmei, who is very dissatisfied with Wen Liangyu's control of most of the family's power.
So, the "harmony" of the Five Tigers is just the extravagant wish of the old godfather who has passed away from illness.
In private room No. 88, Lu Ming met Wen Liangren. It was almost impossible to tell that he and Wen Liangyu were blood brothers.
However, the two of them are siblings with the same father and mother.
Wenliang Man is extremely fat, with a big belly and a waist as thick as a bucket. He wears a floral shirt and white trousers, has a bald head, and has pattern tattoos on his face. His thick fingers are covered with gold rings. He is rough and imposing, and is like an American gangster. The gang leaders in the film are exactly the same.
It is in sharp contrast to the gentle and elegant atmosphere of Wen Liangyu.
When shaking hands with Lu Ming, Wen Liangren grinned with his thick lips and used force on his hands.
Lu Ming gasped in pain, but held back his voice.
Wen Liangren grinned, "Little brother, if you want it, you're not a pretty guy."
Wen Liangyu's face sank, "Second brother, don't be ridiculous! Lawyer Lu is not one of your bad friends. Apologize to Lawyer Lu quickly!" He gave many instructions, but when the reckless second brother saw that the other party was young, he immediately His own words fell on deaf ears.
Wen Liangren frowned. The fourth child still paid great attention to his brotherhood in front of others, and rarely spoke to him in such a harsh manner.
Lu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" He smiled at Wen Liang again: "Brother Wen, you are very strong, I admire you!"
Wen Liangren grinned, and gradually felt that although Lawyer Lu was young, he had the same aura of superiority as the fourth child.
"Qianxing, if you have anything to do, let your second brother do it. He's familiar with Dashunfa." Wen Liangyu snapped her fingers, and the waiter brought a bottle of beautifully packaged foreign wine and various side dishes to go with it. Send a coffee table.
Wen Liangren chuckled: "Lawyer Lu, I am in Dashunfa. There are six halls. If a mosquito flies in there, it will not escape my eyes. If Lawyer Lu needs a girl, tell me if you like it. What flavor? Black? Western? Or ours? I’ll choose the best one in the next month. You know, there’s not much available now, so you have to choose carefully.”
"Six entrances?" Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Just six iron houses..." Wen Liangren patted his bald head and said hurriedly: "Lawyer Lu, I used to be a member of more than a dozen courts, but now the industry is in a recession, and the entire Dashunfa is just... More than twenty halls! ”
Lu Ming thought for a moment and asked, "In the past year, have there been any customers who have particularly requested boys aged seven or eight?"
"Yes!" Wen Liangren said with a smile: "How could there be no such thing? Moreover, they are all the kind of respectable people..."
Lu Ming's heart moved slightly, "So, does it last for a long time and come to look for the target every once in a while? It is possible that the boys he needs have some similarities, such as..."
Lu Ming pondered various research books on psychopathy in his previous life, "Maybe they have the same hair style? Or, they look very similar? Or maybe they all have moles on their faces?"
It is not surprising to say that a **** likes boys, but if it is a continuous killing, there is a deep-seated reason. It is very likely that he only targets boys with certain similar characteristics. This kind of characteristics , will drive him crazy.
The surviving little boy had a black mole on his face.
"Ah? This..." Wen Liangren frowned and thought, shaking his head blankly.
"Brother Wen, please help me find out. Thank you!" Lu Ming raised his wine glass.
"No problem, no problem!" Wen Liangren smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with Lu Ming.
"Qian Xing, do you think that if the Japanese really tortured and killed many boys, these boys would be similar?" Wen Liangyu turned sideways and asked Lu Ming in a low voice.
He never asks too much about things that have nothing to do with him. Although when he heard Lu Ming's question, he knew that Lu Ming was here for the Japanese case, but even for his second brother Wenliangren, he did not Revealed why Lu Ming investigated the boy, and why he never told his second brother Wen Liangren that Lu Ming was a member of the prosecution team for the Japanese case.
Now that I suddenly asked this question, I was naturally too surprised, and I didn’t understand why these boys must be similar?
"Yes, it's possible." Lu Ming nodded.
"Qianxing, put that Japanese man in jail!" Wen Liangyu suddenly raised his glass and clinked it with Lu Ming, looking very solemn.
Lu Ming was startled for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I will send him to the gallows!"
Wen Liangyu exclaimed in her heart, this little brother is indeed amazing.
Japanese nobles may have killed people from Central China, but there is no conclusive evidence. According to the common people's thinking, being imprisoned is regarded as the same crime as the common people. But this little brother, seeing the perseverance in his eyes just now, You know that sending that Japanese villain to the gallows will take more than just words.
Patting Lu Ming's shoulder, Wen Liangyu nodded vigorously, saying nothing.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to be more inexplicably close than before.
Maybe it’s because I found that the other person is very similar to me in some aspects, and has similar values in some aspects.
"Qianxing, Lao Zhao came to see me. I know all about the misunderstanding between you!" Wen Liangyu still spoke in a low voice, trying not to let Mr. Wen hear it.
Lu Ming smiled: "There is no misunderstanding, I really want to withdraw my capital!"
Wen Liangyu sighed softly, "Old Zhao's children are not very knowledgeable. Old Zhao was also confused by their quarrels and did stupid things. It doesn't matter if you withdraw the capital. When Old Zhao came to us for financing, the second It is indeed difficult to come up with one hundred thousand at a time, but it is also because Lao Zhao has no successor. Lao Liu and I discussed privately and felt that the prosperity has come to an end."
Lu Ming thought about it, "Although I signed the agreement for Lingwei to purchase from Xingwang, even if I am no longer a shareholder, the agreement will not be invalidated." After a pause, "So, Xingwang is also a measure." After the difficulties are over, after I withdraw my capital, they can reduce their scale, cut off some miscellaneous production lines, and focus on safety belts, so they will not be unable to survive."
Wen Liangyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "That's because you are kind." She clinked glasses with Lu Ming and looked at Lu Ming with a slightly different look.
The phone on the desk near the floor-to-ceiling window rang. The waiter went to answer it. He took two quick steps over and bent slightly to Lu Ming's ear, "Lawyer Lu, your phone number."
"Okay!" Lu Ming stood up and walked over.
The caller was Wang Xiaohu, calling from Jinshun Hotel.
After hearing what he said, Lu Ming's expression changed slightly, "Second brother, fourth brother, I have to go, it's a bit urgent!"
What Wen Liangren wanted to say was to persuade Lu Ming to finish drinking before leaving. Wen Liangyu glared at him and he could only lower his head.
The waiter brought Lu Ming's coat and hat to help him put it on. Lu Ming put his arms into his sleeves and said, "Second brother, I'll leave it to you to ask questions!" "Fourth brother, I'm leaving!"
Wen Liangyu smiled and nodded, stood up and escorted him out of the private room.
