After more than a week of detention, Merinda confessed the hiding places, including the places where the children were sold and the clubs where the abducted girls were resold.
This time, the police in City Y saved many trapped teenagers, seized many case-related clubs, KTV, and foot bath shops. They rescued nearly 200 children.
Everyday parents came to the city police station to look for their lost children. Those who didn't find their children didn't give up. Instead, they went on to another place with pictures of their children in their hands and tears in their eyes.
Those who found their children burst into tears. So in the last week, loud crying, either from the parents or from the children, could be heard every day. And every morning, anonymous banners, flowers, and even red envelopes, in which brand-new banknotes were enclosed, were sent to the police station. There was also a note saying, 'Thank you very much!'
