Chapter 734 Successful Arrest
At once, Archie, who was investigating the woman, was in a dilemma.
They wondered if their superiors had made a mistake in judgment. After all, not every woman in this carriage with a child necessarily belonged to the human trafficking organization.
As Archie hesitated, the woman, Eloise Rogers, began to cry pitifully. “I’m just taking my baby back to our hometown. Officer, please have mercy. You can’t simply arrest us.
“I’m just unlucky to have boarded this train. I should have come back a day later. My baby’s grandparents are anxious to see her, so I hurried here. Who would have thought something like this would happen?”
When enforcing the law, what police officers feared the most was encountering such situations where it was difficult to determine if someone was good or bad.
Eloise’s face looked kind, and she didn’t seem well–educated.
Even the passengers nearby were pleading, “Officer, is there some misunderstanding here? I’ve seen this lady holding her child quietly the whole time and hardly speaking. She didn’t even board the train with that group of people.”
“Yeah, officer…”
On an old–fashioned train like this, where human connection was valued, it was inevitable that some passengers would speak up in such situations.
Archie was inexperienced, so he was considering whether to let the matter rest.
“The train is so noisy, yet the child hasn’t woken up.”
The person speaking was
He didn’t
want any targets to escape and affect Wynter’s mood.
“Birth certificates can be forged as long as the hospital cooperates. That big guy kept shouting that the hospital was involved.” His tone was icy, but it sounded particularly pleasant in this environment.
Eloise stiffened noticeably at his words.
Smiling, Dalton mocked, “It’s obvious that the hospital sold you babies.”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding passengers widened their eyes and stared at the unremarkable
woman.
“The hospital sold babies?”
“This woman is a human trafficker?”
“Disgusting bitch!”
It was natural that people would hate human traffickers. Now that they encountered one, they wished they could drown her with their curses.
After being exposed, Eloise shrunk her shoulders.
She had been in this business for so many years and had never thought she would be caught..
Those rookies getting caught were one thing, but she was experienced. She knew how to handle sudden situations.
But today, she couldn’t escape, and those men were unreliable. They had all been caught all of a sudden.
Nevertheless, she was resolute not to give up so easily,
“His parents didn’t want him in the first place. I’m giving him to people who need him!”
She suddenly kneeled. “I’m really not a human trafficker. This is the first time I’ve helped with this deal. I didn’t know it was illegal. Officer, I-”
“You’re not a first–timer.” Wynter approached and interrupted her. “You have at least four IDs in your pocket, each with a different name. What ordinary person who knows nothing would bring so many IDs on a train?
Wynter continued, looking at the others who had been arrested behind her, “This isn’t your first time. You’re a veteran.
“You said the child was yours earlier, and now you claim you didn’t know trafficking humans was a crime. Your acting skills are superb, but you’ll have plenty of time to act in jail.
“Cuff her and take her away.”
.
Wynter’s last sentence was directed at the SWAT team. The inconspicuous woman was the real head of this human trafficking organization.
Eloise glared at Wynter fiercely, wishing she could kill her.
She remembered Wynter as the young lady who had come to ask for baby formula. How dare she deceive
her?
