Episode 26 recap: The Secret behind Child Trafficking.

Not only did Qi Heng do that, but he also wrote a report to the county's Environmental Protection Bureau. He even had a friend collect soil and water samples from here for testing. Soon, Qi Heng and Ma La Song arrived. Qi Heng didn't want his younger brother to get involved in this matter, but they suddenly heard a child crying. Ma La Song went over, and then an adult came and took away two children. The child in their arms cried out for help from their sister. Ma La Song thought something was strange about the situation.

Both Qi Heng and Ma La Song believed that the children they saw were definitely abducted. So they went to the police station to investigate and indeed found out that the clothes the children were wearing were exactly the same as those worn by students from an international school. Ma La Song even remembered that one of the children had a birthmark on their head. Qi Heng asked his friend Lao Hou to find out more information from his colleague.

Ma La Song learned that Guo Lun and his good friend were getting drunk at a bar, so they hurried over. Guo Lun, who was drunk, felt that Qi Heng was looking down on him, and coincidentally, Secretary Su was among the people drinking at the bar. To save Guo Lun from embarrassment, Ma La Song quickly called Qi Heng away.

Ma La Song also wanted to know if Qi Heng had discovered anything, but Qi Heng told her not to worry about it. As expected, Lao Hou found information about the school, and the teacher showed the police a photo of the child's mother. Later, they found the mother of the child who had been missing for two years. The mother was devastated and had been searching for her son for a long time. However, she didn't report it to the police because the father of the child had a bad public reputation.

After Qi Heng and his team confirmed that the child was indeed abducted, they quickly went to Matou Village for a secret investigation. However, they found that there were not only no children there but also no adults. Ma La Song turned around and saw a woman about to leave while holding a child, who was wearing a hat on their head.

The police stopped the woman who was about to leave, and Ma La Song recognized her as the woman who took the child. They then requested that she take everyone to her home. Although the woman refused to admit that she had a child, the police found gloves for children in the house. At that moment, a child rushed over, wanting to continue speaking, but the woman stopped them. The child mentioned having a younger brother. Taking advantage of giving the child water, Lao Hou intended to expedite the DNA testing. Even with just a simple visit, they were becoming more certain that this matter was definitely not simple.

After comparison, it was discovered that the parents of the child were not biological. The couple's expressions immediately seemed suspicious. The man also had kidney problems. The police questioned them about whether the child was abducted, but they repeatedly denied it. They claimed that when they were in the county seeking medical treatment, they found their current son in an alley, and at that time, he was willing to leave with them.

Because the child had experienced psychological trauma, he didn't remember anything about his biological parents when asked. However, Ma La Song thought of preparing a meal that the child had eaten during his early years, hoping to trigger his memories. Ma La Song gave the meal to the child, and indeed, the child recalled a memory from three years ago when his grandmother took him to an amusement park to eat stinky tofu.

The doctor also informed Qi Heng that Zheng Duo had been granted medical parole. Qi Heng sensed that something might be amiss. Led by the young boy, they discovered the hidden children in a cave. Initially, this case should have been handled by Qi Heng, but in the end, it was handed over to Zhang Yan Jun.

Zhang Yan Jun was fortunate to have come across this case. The court quickly held a trial and imposed severe punishment on the woman involved in child trafficking. The woman, who had lost her own son, resorted to stealing other people's children. When she brought them back, the villagers, unaware of the laws, allowed her to gradually help bring the children back. They didn't understand the law, so they were unaware that they had already violated it.

Although many children were abducted, they were never mistreated.
