"But just in case..."

"In case of any eventuality, the longer you keep the goods in your hands, the greater the risk.

Many of the goods in this batch are top-quality goods, and there are also a few whose identities are troublesome. Get the goods out quickly to avoid long nights and nightmares. "

"But……"

"But what is that? Contact them quickly and ask them to send a ship over as soon as possible."

The woman on the other end of the phone was obviously a bad-tempered person, and her tone of voice became increasingly shrill.

The middle-aged man, who was choked twice, did not dare to continue persuading her. The woman even hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

During this period, the Neon Police had a brilliant record in combating human trafficking. They not only uprooted several human trafficking chains in one fell swoop, but also rescued countless victims who had not yet been resold.

However, even though the police's crackdown this time is unprecedentedly large and their actions are very rapid, there are still fish that slip through the net.

The trafficking group to which the middle-aged man belongs is one of them.

The staff is streamlined, but they are all veterans in this industry. The backers behind them are quite powerful, so they got the letter in advance and avoided the police's lightning raid.

However, in order to save his life and avoid the eyes of Conan and other detectives, he also gave up a lot of things.

Unlike other trafficking gangs that accept all comers, the gang that the middle-aged man belongs to not only has strict management, but also has a very clear division of labor and positioning for each member.

There is a set of strict selection criteria for the goods to be purchased.

Of course, most of the time, this group does pre-orders, taking the high-end customization route in the dark field of human trafficking, where people, ghosts, and monsters have everything.

Just like ordinary companies discussing business, they will first let the customer put forward the demand, the two parties will negotiate the price, agree on the delivery date and pay the deposit, and then the members of the gang will start picking the goods, and finally deliver the goods and count the money.

Normally, the members of the group who are responsible for picking goods will consciously collect some information about the intended targets and compile them into a book for selection by customers.

However, this time things happened suddenly. No one expected that an explosion at a small pharmaceutical factory in Kanagawa would cause the entire Neon police force to suddenly investigate human trafficking on such a large scale.

Although the faceless backers behind the gang had given them the news in advance, it didn't leave them much time.

In order to get out of it as soon as possible and clean up the relevant traces to avoid being traced by the police, they could only give up most of the goods they had just obtained but had not yet had time to deliver.

Moreover, because they did not deliver the goods on time, not only the deposit was lost, but also a lot of liquidated damages.

However, it is precisely because of the crispness of their warriors' wrist-cutting that during this anti-human trafficking operation led by the Metropolitan Police Department, this deeply hidden gang in the field of human trafficking was not discovered by Conan and others.

However, the people in this team are not of the same mind.

Some people want to avoid the limelight and wait until the situation calms down before returning to their old business.

Some people feel that now is their best opportunity to improve performance and hit year-end KPIs.

When the two were arguing, a huge order with a sky-high price stopped their quarrel. The eight-figure deposit allowed everyone to unite and strengthen their desire to gain wealth through risk.

As a result, the current scene happened.

After sending the email requesting a ship, the middle-aged man thought about it while waiting for a reply, then turned around and walked toward the basement.

There, some of the "goods" they were to deliver this time were stored.

In the dark basement, there were many oak barrels piled up in disorder.

They have the same shape and size, the only difference is that some oak barrels are filled with wine, while others are filled with nothing.

In other words, there is nothing now.

The middle-aged man walked through piles of oak barrels without squinting, and finally stopped in front of several iron cages placed against the wall.

In the iron cage, there are cute children aged three or five, as well as high school girls aged seventeen or eighteen.

There are young people dressed in simple clothes, and there are trendy men dressed richly.

There were about forty or fifty people of all kinds.

The only thing they have in common is that they all look confused, confused, and dying.

Even when the middle-aged man shone a bright flashlight on their faces, he only moved his eyes.

After checking it several times in person, the middle-aged man felt relieved.

He turned off the flashlight and looked at the two little girls who were guarding the goods. Just as he was about to give some more instructions, he heard a vibration from his phone.

The middle-aged man who received the reply called the previous phone number again and informed the woman that the cargo smuggling ship would dock at Tokyo Port at nine o'clock in the morning five days later.

The woman was obviously not very satisfied with this time, even after learning that it was because a cruise ship sailing from Tokyo sank at sea early yesterday morning, and the Neon Police had stepped up searches and control of various ports in the past two days. .

After still scolding for a long time, he reluctantly agreed to this time.

The two agreed to meet at night four days later to gather the goods scattered in different places.

Then it will be transported to Tokyo port for shipment at 9 a.m. the next day.

The two little girls of eight or nine who were following the middle-aged man listened with numb expressions on their faces, their eyes filled with dead silence.

Mao Lilan, who vaguely heard some words, tried hard to wake up, but after trying for a long time, the eyeballs under her eyelids moved and she couldn't open them.

The powerful effect of the medicine made her fall asleep quickly.

After ending the call, the middle-aged man did not forget to tell the two little girls to take a good look at these goods.

The little girls nodded, watched the middle-aged man leave, and then continued to shrink back to the original corner. One of them stared at the person in the iron cage, and the other closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When the shift was over, although the basement was still dark and bleak, the sky outside was already bright.

Tokyo once again welcomed the scorching sun, but the atmosphere in the Public Security Zero Team and the Public Security Monthly Team was like falling into an ice cellar.

In the conference room, the members of the zero group and the monthly group who participated in this joint meeting were sitting on both sides of the long conference table.

Neither party's expressions looked very good.

As of today, the number of victims in the serial shootings targeting members of the mysterious side is only one step away from triple digits.

The survivors of the Magic Hat Conference who had just been fished out of the high seas by the police in the early hours of yesterday morning and sent to the hospital were diagnosed by doctors as seriously injured and required hospitalization. This morning, without exception, they were found dead in their beds.

The cause of death was a sharp cut to the throat, but a specially made bullet casing was placed next to the body.

In addition, the members of the Moon Team who were responsible for staying in the hospital and keeping an eye on these people also met the same fate.

In the center of the conference table is a piece of letter paper that has been passed around by everyone.

There is not much text on it, and it does not exceed two lines including punctuation marks. It is still a very perfunctory printed version.
