Chapter: 4850

And what was even more coincidental was that their families fed back to the police that they went to Mexico for job interviews as sailors.

Moreover, according to their reactions, they all contacted a very capable Chinese person who recommended them to become sailors.

Because that Chinese person told their family members that being a sailor's work is very tiring and may be away at sea for half a year or even more than a year without being able to contact home.

Some people were assigned to fishing boats after leaving, and it was over a year before they returned.

Before the missing persons set out, their families had already mentally prepared themselves, so when they couldn't contact them for long periods of time - sometimes half a year or even a year - they didn't feel anything unusual.

The time had far exceeded their expectations, making them feel something was off when they couldn't contact these individuals for at least a year, sometimes even over a year and a half.

By the time they went to find out about those missing persons from that Chinese consultant, he had already lost contact with them.

These family members realized things were not good, so they went to report the case to the police when it was already too late for the best detection window.

Moreover, since the victims were all missing in Mexico, the authorities even if they wanted to thoroughly investigate would have been overwhelmed and lacked the necessary strength.

Because Mexico is a place that's quite different from most countries.

There are an overwhelming number of armed criminal gangs here, with killings being more common than traffic accidents.

In this area, the membership of these criminal gangs is even larger than the entire Mexican military, police, or government, and they're almost all heavily armed to their teeth, making it impossible for the authorities to do anything about them.

Not only that, but Mexico's criminal gangs have repeatedly publicly kidnapped and murdered politicians, and have long infiltrated the military and political systems, so in Mexico, these criminal gangs are at the top of the food chain.

Regardless of whether they're local police, military, or American and Canadian law enforcement agencies like the FBI, none can enter their radar.

Because no one can control Mexico's criminal gangs.

Unless, it's a bigger criminal gang.

So these Americans go missing in Mexico, and American law enforcement agencies like the FBI have a hard time investigating deeply, so ultimately they all become cold cases.

When Broken Army reports this information to Ye Cheng's ears, Ye Cheng can't help but mutter to himself: "It's strange. If they trick people into going to Mexico, then let them bring contraband back to the US from Mexico, I can understand that. But after they're tricked into going to Mexico, people just go missing straight away. What value can this create for them?"

Broken Army said: "Sir, it took me a while to figure out what's going on, and I noticed one characteristic - all these people who went missing in Mexico have family situations similar to those of Zhou Bihu's son, which are individuals or families on the verge of bankruptcy. In other words, the people tricked into going to Mexico are poor people."

"Ah..." Ye Cheng said gravely: "Mexico is underdeveloped to begin with. The labor costs should be very low there. If you go through a lot of trouble to trick people into going to Mexico and make them free labor, it seems like they're not getting anything out of it."

"Yes," Broken Army agreed strongly: "It's hard to rationalize the logic behind this. They're a gang that only cares about profit, but they've chosen victims who don't have any potential for gain."

Ye Cheng said calmly: "To know what game they're playing, the best way is to go to Mexico personally."

As he spoke, Ye Cheng asked Broken Army: "Zhou Bihu's son, where in Mexico are you going?"

Broken Army replied: "Tijuana. This city is on the border of Mexico and is very close to Los Angeles."

Ah... Ye Cheng said gravely: "Mexico is underdeveloped to begin with. The labor costs should be very low there. If you go through a lot of trouble to trick people into going to Mexico and make them free labor, it seems like they're not getting anything out of it." JrNovels.com
