Chapter 18 Chapter 4 Black Kiln Slavery

yes!The 12-year-old boy, the youngest among the missing, suddenly appeared, not a corpse, but a living person. The situation changed slightly on this day, and the special hotline for reporting began to ring sporadically, and several villagers rushed to the police station to provide clues.They are basically family members of missing persons. When reporting suspects, there are great differences. Each has its own object of suspicion. There are no two or more than two families who suspect the same object. This shows that subjectivity is too strong, so we must be particularly cautious. treated.Perhaps because of the previous neglect and perfunctory, most of the family members were reluctant to leave the police station easily, as if they had agreed to supervise the police handling the case.Gu Feifei could understand the eagerness of the family members to find their relatives, but it was useless to stay like this, and it also interfered with the normal work of the police station, so she and Ai Xiaomei advised them to go back and wait for news.

At this moment, two people walked into the lobby of the police station. It was a dirty old man leading a child who was completely dark.Almost at that moment, a female family member suddenly rushed over madly, grabbed the child, hugged her tightly, screamed, and burst into tears in an instant—her missing months made her worry The son miraculously appeared in front of his eyes. Although the child was a little out of shape, the mother still recognized her son at a glance. Now, the child is sitting on the chair opposite Han Yin, his mouth is already full of food, but he is still stuffing it stubbornly.

At this time, Han Yin finally understood why Gu Feifei was not excited by the appearance of the missing person on the phone just now, but was extremely depressed—the child was already so thin that he was out of shape, like a hemp stalk; , the clothes were shredded into strands, which could barely cover the body; on the exposed arms, there were scars from being beaten with sticks; on the feet without shoes, there were red sores left by burns The most unbearable thing to look at is that the child's big eyes, which should be elves and well-behaved, are filled with fear and vigilance towards the world, which makes people's nose sour.

Who is it?What exactly did it do to the child?Tears began to roll in Han Yin's eyes... With enough food and drink, more parents around him to care for, the dull child began to get a little angry, and the old man who sent him to the police station added from the side, the child's experience from the disappearance gradually emerged: One noon more than three months ago, the child went to the orchard of his grandmother's house.While passing Provincial Highway 213, I suddenly felt someone grab my collar behind me, and then I was dragged into a white van on the side of the road with my feet off the ground.When he reacted and wanted to struggle, a machete more than 50 centimeters long was pressed against his neck.Immediately, the van started to drive away, and at some place on the way, the car stopped for a while, picked up three or four children who were older than him, and then continued driving.It wasn't until evening that the car drove into a compound and stopped, and he and the other children in the car were taken into a room and locked up. Only then did he know that they had been sold into a black brick kiln.Then, the nightmarish life kicked off...

After all, the child is only in his teens, and his comprehension and expression skills are very limited. Most of the following content will be narrated by the "old man". His name is Song Jiliang. In fact, he is not old at all. He is just in his early forties. The inhuman experience of a black brick kiln in just one week made him look 20 or 30 years older than his actual age.Unlike the child who was forcibly kidnapped, he voluntarily entered the black brick kiln a week ago, of course not to make a living. He has an awe-inspiring job as a reporter for a newspaper. For a period of time, citizens living in urban areas have found that there are fewer and fewer mentally handicapped people and homeless children begging near the train station and along the streets, and some people saw them being picked up by a van one after another.Kind-hearted people thought it was because the local rescue work was well done, but as a reporter, Song Jiliang's professional acuity allowed him to capture the unusualness, so he began to dress up as a mentally handicapped person and beg in the train station area.There, he did not hesitate to pick up boxed lunches in the trash can with real beggars, and even fought for the cigarette butts that fell on the ground to smoke. At night, he slept with those people in the open square of the train station.Finally, three days later, he was selected by the "van". Just like the mentally handicapped and homeless children who were abducted before, and the children who were forcibly kidnapped, he was also sold to the black brick kiln by the "black intermediary" like an animal. In fact, he was not as good as a pig The price of the animals is about 500 yuan per person.

Song Jiliang who entered the black brick kiln seemed to be in the slave field of ancient Greece.There are more than 40 laborers there, including children, mentally handicapped people, and young men in their twenties. All of them were forcibly kidnapped or lured in without any wages.They have to start work before dawn in the morning, and work until midnight before they are allowed to sleep.The place to sleep was just a dark room with wind everywhere and no fire in winter. The thugs locked them inside the house like cattle. They had no beds and could only sleep on straw mats. Outside the door was a group of thugs and many A big wolfhound patrols.Three meals a day consist of steamed buns and cold water, and each meal must be eaten within a time limit.The laborers were beaten severely if they were slow to move, and almost everyone was bruised and bruised.Because they are often forced to go down the kiln to carry uncooled bricks, it is common for workers to get burns on their feet. Without medicine, they can only rot and heal themselves, and then get hurt again. The feeling of this is beyond anyone's imagination... …

During the undercover period, Song Jiliang used a miniature camera hidden in his underwear to record shocking scenes: a seven or eight-year-old child laborer, holding a heavy brick with both hands, obviously the weight was far beyond his ability, he half Squat your legs and move them little by little.The thugs were in a bad mood, and they slapped their mouths a few times when they came up. The children's tears hung in the corners of their eyes, and blood flowed from their mouths, and they still mechanically repeated the movement of moving bricks; The car, the belt was deeply inserted into the flesh of the shoulder, but the thug still felt that he was not working hard enough, so he kicked the boy's crotch; the laborer with congenital dementia, because of his slow hands, the thug picked up Brick then slammed it over, feeling unsatisfactory, then grabbed a shovel, hit the head with a few heavy hammers, and forcibly beat a big living person to death... For Song Jiliang, the pair was terrified. , or timid, or numb, or sluggish, or blank eyes, not only recorded in his video, but also deeply imprinted in his mind.He secretly vowed to save these innocent and abused laborers from this "slave farm".

For a whole week, Song Jiliang had a thorough understanding of the situation of the brick kiln, and had a good understanding of the routine of the thugs, and it was time for him to leave.Due to the day and night patrols, when the laborers start work at four or five o'clock in the morning, the thugs are very tired, and most of them deserted to find a place to sleep; and the thugs on the morning shift are also very lazy, and can take a nap wherever they want; there are also big wolf dogs. , At that time, they would also be put back into the cage; besides, it was still dark and the light was dim, so when they first started work in the morning, it was the time when the thugs were most lax in guard and also the best chance to escape.But if you want to sneak out at this time, you still need to use the opportunity, that is, there will be a convoy to pull bricks in the morning.

This morning, such an opportunity came.While the thugs were not paying attention, Song Jiliang secretly climbed to the top of a truck that had already been filled with bricks and sealed the cables, and lay down close to it.But at that time, he saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old child who accidentally broke a brick and was chased by several thugs and beat him with sticks. The child was finally lying next to the truck, dying, and no one paid any attention to him. .Song Jiliang's heart softened, and he was worried about the child's life, so he risked his life, slipped out of the car and carried the child up, and just like that, they escaped from that nightmarish place together.

Afterwards, things developed relatively smoothly. When the driver of the brick truck stopped to relieve his hand, the two sneaked out of the car.Song Liangji found a public phone and got in touch with a colleague who had been anxiously waiting for a response.Then, afraid of further accidents and not daring to delay at all, he and his colleagues decided to send the child home first.Fortunately, although the child is young, he can finally tell that he lives in Xincheng Village.Song Liangji and the others think this way—the black brick kiln is so confident that it may be due to the strong background of the boss, so the final result of this undercover operation is hard to predict, and perhaps because of some kind of resistance, this report cannot be published publicly, but After all, a child was rescued, so it was worth it!

Nowadays, there have been many incidents of labor abuse in black brick kilns in China.Some local governments are concerned about affecting the local image, or because the brick kiln owners have enough influence in the local area, the relevant departments are not active and responsible enough to resolve the incident, so Song Liangji and his colleagues are not unfounded. However, that is only the practice in a few areas. The incident was reported by the police station to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and then to the local government. The government immediately interviewed the undercover reporter Song Jiliang and his party, and learned about the incident in detail.Afterwards, the government ordered the Municipal Bureau to immediately deploy actions to crack down on black brick kilns and rescue labor, emphasizing that no matter what the identity of the boss is or how deep his roots are, he must be severely punished. After receiving the order, the Municipal Bureau formulated a plan overnight, and an action team was formed by the public security and armed police and special police, and the rescue operation was formally launched the next morning.In the end, dozens of abused laborers were successfully rescued. All brickyard workers involved in labor abuse, including the boss, were arrested on the spot, and the black brick kiln was shut down according to law.Then, later in the day, the action team followed the clues and successfully arrested the black intermediaries who had repeatedly trafficked labor.But unfortunately, apart from the children rescued by undercover reporters, there is no evidence that other missing people are related to the black brick kilns and black intermediaries hit by this operation. The task force can only continue to focus on Xincheng Village.
