Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

After Sun Aimin confirmed his current location with the rickshaw driver, he called the police.

He told the other party on the phone: "I found a child who was abducted and sold. He is only a few months old and is now being abused by the buyer. I hope you can send police to rescue the child as soon as possible."

Influenced by the shocking case committed by the Zhan gang, a wave of anti-trafficking was set off across the country, and all localities attached great importance to trafficking incidents.

The operator wrote down the specific address given by Sun Aimin, immediately reported the situation, and quickly arranged for the police to respond.

Two hours later, several policemen in plain clothes arrived at the place Sun Aimin mentioned.

Sun Aimin and Jiang Weidong saw those people and thought they were policemen. Because this place was close to the suburbs, people coming in and out were the lowest class of society. Although those policemen were dressed simply, their temperament was better than the ordinary people here.

When those people saw Sun Aimin and Jiang Weidong approaching, they spoke first: "Were you the ones who called just now? Which one of you has the surname Sun?"

Sun Aimin nodded and said, "Comrade, it was me who called. We were talking about that family."

As Sun Aimin spoke, he pointed to a yard not far away where a tricycle was parked at the door.

The plainclothes police officer asked: "What is the situation now? Tell us in detail what you know."

Sun Aimin said: "We have just confirmed that there are two adults in this house, an old lady and a middle-aged man. The remaining one is the baby.

They used to complain about the noise of the child's crying, and left the child alone in the yard, leaving him to bask in the hot sun."

The police asked: "Are you sure that the child is not his biological child?"

Sun Aimin and Jiang Weidong nodded repeatedly and responded, "Sure, it's definitely not their biological child. The mother and daughter in the room had a fight before, and both said that the child was not their biological child.

Besides, it’s impossible to treat a child like that. The child is skinny and dirty, and it’s unbearable to look at...”

The plainclothes police understood and said, "Okay, then you two wait here first, we will go over and check it out."

After saying that, several plainclothes policemen walked towards the yard.

They arrived at the door and knocked on it: "Is anyone there?"

The old lady had already taken the child back to the house. When she heard the knock on the door, she came out and opened the door to the courtyard and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The plainclothes policeman said, "Aunt, we are here to do a census. Please cooperate. How many people are there in your family now? Who are they? Is your household registration here?"

The old lady replied, "I live here with my son and his wife. My family is in the village downstairs, and I do some small business in the market."

The police officer asked again: "Is there anyone else?"

The old lady was about to say no, but the child in the room started crying again. Old Mrs. Lin smiled awkwardly and said, "There is also a baby who is still breastfeeding. Such a young child doesn't need to be registered, right?"

The policeman said, "As long as you are a citizen of our country, you must register no matter how old you are. Are your son and daughter-in-law home now?"

The old lady said, "Oh, my son is at home. He is too tired from work and is catching up on his sleep. There is no need to wake him up, right?"

The policeman asked, "Then tell me the names and ID numbers of your family members. Also, have your children been registered?"

Old Mrs. Lin hesitantly said, "My son and daughter-in-law will go and register for the household registration when they have time in the next few days."

The policeman was taking notes in a notebook and said nonchalantly, "Please bring the child out so we can see how old he is. If he needs to be registered, he can register with us first and we will help him get his registration."

When it comes to registering the child, Mrs. Lin was obviously nervous, and her eyes were a little evasive: "No, no need, we will register the child ourselves..."

The child in the room was still crying. The old lady did not rush into the room to comfort the child, but said to the people outside the door: "After you finish registering, leave quickly. I still have to comfort the child."

The police said: "We are not in a hurry, you go and comfort the child first. Can we go into the house to ask for saliva and no, the weather is too hot..."

It was noon, the sun was blazing, and even though the policemen were wearing short-sleeved shirts, they were still sweating.

Old Mrs. Lin has lived in the countryside for many years. She is not wary of others and is actually quite enthusiastic in the village.

She didn't take it seriously and said, "Then wait here for a while, I'll go get you some water."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the house. When several policemen saw her closing the door, they quietly followed her into the yard.

After the old lady went in, she didn't care about the crying child at all, but went to fetch water first. When she pushed the door open, she found that the strangers who were "investigating the household registration" had already entered the yard and arrived at the door.

The moment the door opened, several policemen grabbed it and went straight into the house.

Mrs. Lin started to get scared at this time, thinking that she was being robbed: "What are you doing? Do you want to rob? Get out of here... Jianye, don't sleep, there are robbers in the house~"

Mrs. Lin was very panicked at this time and started to yell. One of the police officers subdued the old lady, and the other picked up the crying child in the stroller and walked straight out the door.

Lin Jianye hadn't slept well because of his child's crying. Now he heard his mother yelling and became very annoyed. He wanted to complain to her again, but then he heard her voice was not right. He quickly got out of bed and opened the door to see what was going on.

As soon as he went out, he saw his mother with her arm pinned by someone, unable to move.

"Who are you? Let my mother go, or I will be rude to you..." Lin Jianye yelled.

The police officer holding the child had already left the hospital and ran towards the parking lot. The remaining three police officers saw that the child was safe, so they let go of the old lady, showed their IDs and said, "We are police officers. We suspect you are involved in a baby trafficking case. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation."

Lin Jianye naturally knew what these people were talking about. He was now eager to get rid of his suspicion: "I don't understand what you are saying. We are law-abiding citizens. Don't wrongly accuse good people..."

The police didn't buy his tricks and said to him, "We will know whether you are a good person or not after we investigate you!"

Seeing that Lin Jianye was unwilling to cooperate, the policemen subdued him without saying a word and escorted him out of the hospital.

Old Mrs. Lin shouted from behind, "Let my son go," but how could the police listen to her?

Finally, Lin Jianye was taken away by the police. As for the policeman holding the child, he left with Sun Aimin and Jiang Weidong in the tricycle they had taken when they arrived.
