Chapter 1777 Ready to Cross the Border

As Fang Qiu knew, Autranssy had very strict control over people trafficking.

This was because Autranssy was famous for its coastal cities. Almost all the big cities were located by the sea. There were almost no big cities on the inland of Autranssy.

It was also because of this that Autranssy was very strict with the management of the seaside, and no people trafficking was allowed at all.

In this case, it was very difficult to find a place where one could slip across the borders.

Because the time was arranged, Fang Qiu drove the car at a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour along the way. In the end, it only took him an hour to reach Southwest Island 120 kilometers away.

After he parked the car in a parking lot, Louise took Fang Qiu directly to a well-hidden port.

Although Southwest Island was an island, in fact, there were only a few rivers between the island and the inland. There were harbors around the island. Except for a regular harbor, the rest were all for people trafficking.

There were quite a few people on this island who engaged in that business.

After arriving at the port, Fang Qiu observed carefully.

He found that it should be a cargo dock.

At this time, a big ship used for fishing was parked in the darkness in the distance, which was very difficult for ordinary people to see.

Just as Fang Qiu was observing carefully, Louise walked to the dock and knocked on the door of a warehouse.

“You’re here.”

A sloppy-looking man walked out of the warehouse.

He didn’t look kind at all.

Louise asked, “Can we go now?”

“You can board the ship first, but you need to wait for a while before you can leave.”

With that, the burly man glanced at Fang Qiu who followed Louise over and then waved his hand, indicating for the two of them to wait at the dock.

After a short while, the burly man drove a speedboat over, picked up Fang Qiu and Louise, and quickly drove to the thick wooden ship parked in the distance.

After boarding the ship, Fang Qiu found that it was very large. It should be used to transport goods. The ship was also full of goods. Maybe it was because it was not sailing time yet, so the burly man engaged in people trafficking by the way.

Just as the burly man sent Fang Qiu and Louise to the ship and was about to go back, suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Along with the alarm, there was a red and blue light.

It was the water police.

Standing on the ship, Louise grabbed Fang Qiu and squatted down by the eaves.

At this time, a police speedboat rushed to the front of the burly man’s speedboat and stopped him.

“What’s going on? What are you doing?” the water police officer asked while scanning the ship with a flashlight.

“I was worried, so I came to check the goods.”

The burly man said with a smile, “I was going to set sail tonight. Didn’t you ask us to wait for the notice? The goods on my ship have been loaded, but we haven’t received any notice yet. I’m afraid there’s something wrong with my goods, so I come to check every hour.”

“Is that so?”

The water police officer looked around and said, “Get ready to pull in to shore. Your ship can’t go out tonight. The order has been issued. You are not allowed to sail in these three days. If you want to sail, you’d better wait for three days!”

“Three days?”

The burly man was dumbfounded.

“Yes.”

The water police officer nodded and said, “Hurry up and pull in!”

After that, he drove the speedboat away.

On the ship, Louise’s face instantly became serious.

“Three days?”

As Louise heard the conversation between the water police officer and the burly man, her face instantly darkened. She said, “We agreed before that we could set off tonight. Why do we have to wait for three more days now?”

“Take it easy.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said softly, “Let’s wait and see. It should be that the Autranssy authorities ordered martial law because they knew that I had escaped.”

Louise said with a frown, “This is troublesome. Anything can happen in three days.”

Just then-

“Did you hear that?”

The burly man said, “The ship will return to the port soon. If you want to leave, you’d better stay on the ship for three days. I promise no one will come to check.”

After he finished speaking, he drove the speedboat away.

After the burly man left, a sailor on the ship came to Fang Qiu and Louise, who were squatting by the eaves on the deck. He said, “The ship is going back to the dock. Come with me.”

With that, he took Fang Qiu and Louise to the cabin, passed through the piles of goods, and came to a relatively secret and narrow small room.

“We will call you every day by meal times. If there are any patrols, we will push the goods over. As long as you remain silent, no one will know that you are hiding here.

“Also, you’d better stay in the room and don’t run around.”

After saying those words, the sailor turned around and left.

Soon, the big ship was started.

After moving for a while, it stopped at the shore.

Soon, a group of water police officers arrived at the dock.

“You need to go with us.”

The water police took the burly man away.

The crew members on the ship were not surprised to see this, as if this was normal.

The same thing also happened at the docks of other islands.

That night, the leaders of all the ships on the four local islands were asked to go to the official administrative office of the Southwest Island.

Those leaders appeared to be the captains of their ships.

In fact, everyone knew that these people were the people trafficking gang heads. They tried their best to make money by people trafficking, so it was not a big deal to be asked to go to the official administrative office for investigation. They were even familiar with the staff there.

Soon, a group of local people trafficking gang heads was gathered in the administrative office by the local authorities.

“You should know why I called you here today.”

Unlike usual, the local water police officer looked at these people trafficking gang heads with a serious face and said, “Now, the higher-ups have issued martial law!”

The gang heads were all smiles and didn’t take what the officer said to heart at all.

“Normally, I can turn a blind eye to you all.”

The water police officer said with a cold face, “But not this time. It seems that you still don’t know the seriousness of this matter.

“The higher-ups have issued a clear order. Before the investigation of the suspect is completed, anyone who dares to do people trafficking will be confiscated and forbidden to sail for the rest of their lives. They will also have to bear more than 20 years of imprisonment or even life imprisonment!”

The faces of all the gang heads present changed slightly.

People trafficking business had been severely suppressed over the years. The reason why they dared to gather in this place and do people trafficking business was that as the number of people trafficking groups decreased in recent years, the government’s punishment for them slightly lightened.

But they didn’t expect that the punishment would be so severe this time.

What the officer said seemed serious.

However, to them, no matter how severe the punishment was, it was not a big deal.

Therefore, these people trafficking gang heads were merely stunned for a moment before they laughed one after another, as if they were not worried at all.

“Watch carefully, all of you.”

The water police officer snorted and directly asked his men to put a portrait of John Doe on the big screen in the office, saying, “This person is the criminal who is being pursued by the higher-ups. He is a major suspect. If any of you see him, as long as you report to us, we promise that we will give you a high reward of millions, tens of millions of dollars!

“Of course, in addition to this man, anyone who reports any suspicious person will also get a high reward.

“But if we find out someone is helping this suspect cross the borders, we will show no mercy!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the water police officer slammed his palm on the table, which startled all the gang heads on the scene.

At this moment, these gang heads finally understood the seriousness of the matter.

The authorities weren’t carrying out a pursuit but issuing an arrest warrant.

Instantly, the gang heads on the scene couldn’t help but start to panic.

Some panicked because they were afraid of being implicated, while others panicked because of the high reward.

What was their purpose in doing people trafficking?

They did it to make money.

How much did they earn by helping someone cross the border?

Once they reported the suspect, they would get millions or tens of millions.

“I’ll definitely report him if I see him.”

“That’s so much money. If the one I report is the suspect, I may not have to work anymore for the rest of my life.”

“I haven’t seen any Huaxianese recently.”

The people trafficking gang heads began to discuss.

Hearing the words of the others, the burly man was instantly tempted.

“Indeed, how will I get to earn millions or tens of millions of dollars?

“Once I make the right report, I won’t need to work any longer for the rest of my life.

“Besides, the authorities are going after a Huaxianese.

“Among my two clients just now, that woman seems to be a Huaxianese.

“Although the suspect is a man, isn’t there a man with that woman?

“Even if these two people are not the ones the authorities are looking for, I can still get a reward if I report them, and that will be wonderful.”

After the meeting, all the people trafficking gang heads left.

After everyone left, that burly man secretly returned.

“Officer William.”

Back at the administrative office of the water police department, the burly man smiled and walked toward the water police officer who had threatened the gang heads in the conference room just now.

“Thomson?”

The water police officer called William narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why are you back?”

“I’m back to make a report.”

The man named Thomson chuckled and said, “I just received two clients who wanted to cross the borders. One of them is a Huaxianese. Although she is a woman, she also has something to do with Huaxia.”

“A Huaxianese?”

William’s eyes lit up.

“Yes. This Huaxianese woman came here to cross the border with a man. She won’t leave by herself. She will leave after settling the man down. I think there must be something wrong…”
