Chapter 46: Strict Search of All Mining Areas

When coming out of the state-owned restaurant, Li You's mood was excellent!

Not only because he made several hundred yuan today, but more importantly, because of his interference, those dozen children were finally rescued by the police, which was equivalent to saving dozens of families.

In addition, the den of the human traffickers will be destroyed, and those demons wandering in the world will eventually receive due punishment, indirectly preventing countless families from being harmed.

In human nature, there is a strong altruistic complex, and there is an impulse to like to do good deeds in the emotions.

This is what Mencius once said, "The goodness of human nature is like water flowing downward", meaning that people tend to be kind just as naturally as water flows downward.

And when everyone does something beneficial to others and society, they will feel happy, which is in line with human nature.

Li You is no exception. After secretly doing a good deed, he is also very happy in his heart, and it seems that he has a cool buff when walking.

It's just that Li You doesn't know that when he hummed a tune and came out of the state-owned restaurant, Xu Hong was watching him in the dark corner not far away.

Seeing that his report letter had been sent up for several days, and there was no movement at all from the police. Li You, that bum, was still doing the same as before.

Xu Hong felt like being scratched by a cat in his heart, so he planned to go to the city again to see what was going on!

He came to the county seat early today to wait for Li You. Sure enough, in a short while he saw him driving the big red mule cart to the state-owned restaurant, and then Xu Hong saw a delightful scene.

As soon as Li You arrived, he was taken in by several policemen who had been waiting at the restaurant entrance early, which made Xu Hong's mood as beautiful as eating a popsicle in June!

However, his good mood didn't last long. In less than ten minutes, those policemen left but didn't take Li You away.

Not long after the policemen left, that guy was just like a person without incident, driving the mule cart to continue to the supply and marketing cooperative and then set up a stall!

Seeing this scene, Xu Hong almost exploded on the spot!

In addition to anger, he decided to go to the public security bureau immediately to report again. This time he must let those policemen arrest the person back!

Li You, who didn't know he had been targeted, went to purchase supplies as usual and then set up a stall at the entrance of the sugar factory!

And what he didn't know was that today was doomed to be extraordinary!

Dahongshan Commune. Mining area!

Wang Anguo, along with more than a dozen experienced members of the criminal police team and over twenty armed police soldiers, suddenly arrived here.

They first arrived at the local commune, and then had the commune director gather all the local militia and join them in action.

After all, what needs to be searched now is a mining area with an area of over 100 square kilometers, and there are more than 10 mining enterprises of all sizes. They alone are not enough.

Quickly, more than 200 soldiers from the Dahongshan Commune gathered and, under the leadership of Wang Anguo, headed straight to the several large and small mines.

Wang Anguo did not directly search Hongxing Iron Mine, the largest iron mine in Dahongshan Commune. After all, Hongxing Iron Mine is the largest iron mine in Qingshan County. There are four or five hundred workers in the mine alone. It is really difficult for the suspect to hide a dozen children under the eyes of so many people.

Therefore, Wang Anguo focused his search on mines that were not large in scale, had poor operational efficiency, were too good, and even abandoned.

However, a morning passed and they searched two iron mines and four quarries, but still found nothing. Everyone, including Li Gang, was very disappointed. 

However, Wang Anguo firmly believed in his own judgment and asked Director Zhou of the Dahongshan Police Station, who was assisting in the investigation, "Old Zhou, how many mines have not been searched?"

"There are only two left, one is Hongxing Iron Mine and the other is a coal mine called Kang'an!" Director Zhou replied.

"I know about Hongxing Iron Mine, but what's going on at Kang'an Coal Mine? Do you understand the situation?" Wang Anguo asked again.

"I'm not very familiar with it. That coal mine used to be a collective enterprise in Kang'an Village, but in recent years, due to poor management, it has almost run out of business."

"Is there anyone in the mine?"

Director Zhou immediately said, "Yes, we sent someone to investigate there a few days ago and found seven or eight workers there, but we didn't find any abnormalities!"

Wang Anguo immediately said, "Let's go and see that Kang'an coal mine!"

Subsequently, the group rushed directly to the nearby coal mine!

When Wang Anguo and others came over, they happened to catch the workers eating.

While Li Gang was explaining the situation to the person in charge of the other party, Wang Anguo immediately counted the workers on site and found that there were only 7 people, and none of them seemed to be quite right.

Firstly, these people don't look at them correctly, with a strong sense of vigilance in their eyes in addition to fear, which is obviously not the normal reaction of ordinary people when they see them.

Secondly, although they wear average clothes, they are still relatively clean.

In ordinary places, it's not much, but in coal mines, this is a problem.

Those who have been to coal mines know that when mining coal, smoke and dust fly everywhere, and workers who come out of the mine cannot be so clean.

At present, Wang Anguo's entire life became vigilant.

After Li Gang explained the situation to the person in charge here, Wang Anguo walked up to the mine manager surnamed An and asked, "Mine manager An, how many people are there in your mine now?"

"A total of 8!"

"Why are there so few people? According to reason, a coal mine can have dozens of people or thousands of people. Is your manpower sufficient?" Wang Anguo frowned and asked.

"To be honest with our public security comrades, there is nothing we can do. The coal quality here is poor and the reserves are not large, so the extracted coal can only be sold to nearby residents, and the benefits are really not good!"

Director An continued, "Due to the low efficiency, many equipment cannot be purchased, so every time someone goes down the well, they are always worried, so not many people in the village are willing to come here!"

"So these people are all from your village?"

"All... all of them!"

"Okay, let's just search normally. We've checked not only your area, but all the nearby mines. Please cooperate!" Wang Anguo said.

"Okay, okay, we'll cooperate with you to the best of our ability!" An Kuang Chang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.

Immediately, Wang Anguo led a search on this small coal mine.

However, after searching around, nothing was found.

At this moment, a cave entrance half buried by stones and soil caught Wang Anguo's attention!
