"As far as I know, there are currently two types of cases involving trafficking women. One involves women with mental health issues, and the other involves job referrals by acquaintances," Liu Jinghui sat up a bit and his expression became slightly more serious.

Human trafficking cases are often referred to as trafficking of women and children. In earlier years, these two types of cases were quite similar, but now, the difference between trafficking women and trafficking children has grown significantly.

In addition to the rising number of cases involving trafficking foreign women, the main types of domestic trafficking cases summarized by Liu Jinghui are the former, which is common across all regions, and the latter, which varies in occurrence depending on the region.

Jiang Yuan and the others were drawn in and began to ponder.

Liu Jinghui, with his quick thinking, immediately voiced his thoughts, saying, "The victim, Chen Nuan, came to Chang Le City to work on her own. The fast-food restaurant job was hard and the living conditions were poor; everyone is constantly looking for better opportunities, so it’s natural for Chen Nuan to look for a new job. The only question is, did she find the job online, or through acquaintances from her hometown?"

Liu Jinghui continued with a self-directed question and answer, "If she was actively seeking a job, she would probably cast a wide net. For example, asking in a group chat with classmates or quickly asking multiple acquaintances one after the other. Unless there is someone reliable who can secure her a job, it is unlikely that Chen Nuan would keep her job searching activities in Chang Le City a secret."

"So, someone actively introduced a job to Chen Nuan?" Su Shanming timely joined the conversation, and quickly added, "It’s also possible that she saw an advert or proactively approached an employment agency."

Liu Jinghui nodded, looking slightly hesitant as he turned towards Jiang Yuan, "We could investigate this angle. However, if the contact was via phone and then the phone was discarded, this lead would get us nowhere."

Although phone real-name registration is mandatory, for those who premeditate trafficking, obtaining phone cards is too simple. Trying to trace a criminal through phone records might only work for unexpected homicide or crime of passion; premeditated crimes have their advantages here, and are usually punished more severely.

"Let’s look into this," Su Shanming took the initiative, "We can ask Technical Investigation for help, first tracking all the calls made by Chen Nuan. It’s best if we can trace them all back to their sources. If there are some we cannot track, then we should check with cyber-security to see if they’re scam calls or something..."
