Capítulo 842: Chapter 36: Skin-Wearing Bandits_2

Pei Ye had been tenaciously digging deep through a single thread of thought. At this moment, upon hearing these words, his gaze suddenly shot up, and he saw an overview of all the unusual aspects.

"So, I think that the occurrence at Carp Pavilion might not be a case of human trafficking... but rather a byproduct of some greater illegal activity," Di Jiu slowly said, closing his eyes.

Pei Ye momentarily froze, and he suddenly remembered the timid testimony of Cheng Xiaozhu:

"I don't know, they just burst into our home... said that my father had committed a crime, and then they took us away..."

"They seemed to show my father a waist token, and my father was very scared... he didn't resist..."

"...What illegality?" he asked.

"Not a specific case, but a pattern, a process, hidden under a net from heaven to earth, because they harm such common folk, so no one is ever able to break through," Di Jiu said.
