As for the punishment of Ms. Qin, it was more complicated.
From her confession, the police learned that it was her first time trafficking in children. The cause was not for money, but for revenge against the Lu family couple.
As for what grudge she had against the Lu family couple, she seemed unwilling to say.
During the investigation, the police found that she indeed had no criminal record. Therefore, her sentence was much lighter than that of Liu San's.
However, because she intended to take Qiao Yi away and had already contacted the human traffickers, whether it was her first time or not, this case was determined to be child trafficking without any dispute.
In Z Country, the minimum sentence for human traffickers is 40 years of imprisonment.
Eventually, Ms. Qin was sentenced to 40 years of fixed-term imprisonment.
But according to her ID card, she was already 50 years old. A 40-year sentence was basically equivalent to life imprisonment.
