Woman trafficked as bride in Shanghai, culprits exposed

The problem of human trafficking is frequent, especially in mainland China. A man surnamed Wei in Shanghai reported to the police two years ago, claiming that his 20-year-old daughter, Xiaojiao, had been missing for four days and was likely to be trafficked. After investigation by the police, it was found that the woman had been sold for 30,000 RMB (approximately NT$130,000). Anhui became a bride, and the fate of the people involved in the case was also exposed.

According to “Shanghai Legal News”, Wei Nan is from Anhui. He brought his whole family to Shanghai when his daughter was a child, and has been engaged in construction and decoration work for nearly 20 years. Due to mental retardation, my daughter suffers from a third-grade intellectual disability. After receiving compulsory education, she did not continue to go to school or work. However, she usually lives a regular life. After breakfast, she will go to play near her house, and she will definitely go home before dinner.

The strange thing is that the daughter lost contact on June 2, 2021. At that time, Wei Nan’s distant niece came to Shanghai. He thought his daughter was visiting, but later found out that her daughter hadn’t gone at all. He called immediately, but her daughter didn’t answer. It was a video that showed that his daughter seemed to be on the highway. He called again, hoping that the other party would send his daughter back. “You can not be held accountable for sending her back.”

However, Wei Nan waited for 4 days but still did not find anyone. Later, he received a message from his daughter. The photo showed him attending a banquet in the countryside and putting on new clothes. He had no choice but to call the police. The police immediately launched an investigation, checked the surveillance cameras and found that at around 5:00 p.m. on June 2, a middle-aged man rode a battery car and actively chatted with Baijiao. After that, the two went to the supermarket together to buy things, and followed the man back to the community around 8:00 p.m. .

The police pointed out that the man’s name was Qi Qiang, a migrant worker who came to Shanghai from other places. According to the information of the vehicle that picked up the victim, the owner of the car was also found to be Zhou Bin, a native of Suixi County, Anhui Province. Finally, he was found in a family in Anhui. At that time, Xiaojiao and A man about 30 years old sat together.

It is understood that the man’s name is Wang Shuang, and the other party admitted that he drove to pick up Xiaojiao, and his father and fellow villager Zhou Bin were also in the car. Because his wife had been subjected to domestic violence for a long time, she ran away from home for a year, leaving her 4-year-old son behind. The father wanted to find a wife for his son so that he could take care of the child in the future, without considering whether he had broken the law.

At that time, Qi Qiang saw Xiaojiao who was alone on the side of the road, and after going up to chat with him, he had evil thoughts, coaxed her back home, and contacted her friend Yu Nv, asking her to help take care of her, promising to give money when things happen, and the two of them filmed together Xiaojiao’s photos and videos were sent to fellow villager Zhou Bin, asking him to find a buyer. In the end, Wang Shuang brought Xiaojiao back to Anhui, and gave 10,000 RMB each to Qi Qiang, Yu Nu, and Zhou Bin. Xiaojiao, who was rescued, didn’t understand what happened, and was reluctant to leave for a while: “I won’t leave, I don’t want to leave.”

The court prosecuted three people for the crime of abducting and trafficking women. On January 29 this year, the verdict was established. Qi Qiang was sentenced to 6 years and 6 months in prison, and Zhou Bin was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Yu Nu played a secondary role in criminal activities. , an accessory, was sentenced to 4 years in prison. Wang Shuang and his son were sentenced to 1 year and 9 months in prison for the crime of buying abducted women.
