Chapter 273 Human Traffickers Deserve to Die 18
"Then what?" Sirong asked quickly.
"And then nothing happened. We went there to interview for a clerk position, but they said they were from an entertainment company and that since we were already there, we should go into the back room for an audition to see if we had the potential to be a star or something like that.
I went there with Wang Nan from our class. She sensed something was wrong and pulled me to the bathroom, and then we both left.
"Then you are quite wise. There are a lot of such things on the Internet. I heard that when you go in for the audition, they will secretly take videos of you changing clothes, and then use this to threaten you to do something wrong." Zhang Lili.
"That's true. When we came back and checked, we were terribly scared." Li Zihan.
When Sirong heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, but she remained calm on the surface, even revealing a relaxed smile. She asked as if it was just a casual chat, "So you didn't contact that company again, right? This is really scary."
Li Zihan nodded, and said with lingering fear: "Yeah, how could we dare to contact them! We came back and checked online, and found that many people were saying that there was something wrong with that company.
Some people say that they are doing some shady things under the guise of recruitment.
Some people went in for the 'audition' and then inexplicably signed contracts they had never seen. They were also threatened that their videos had already been released and that if they didn't comply, they would be exposed. It's terrifying to think about it!"
Zhang Lili chimed in, "Yes, there's a lot of news like this online. They say some companies specifically scam students like you who are desperate for internships. They start out with promises of high salaries and free accommodation, but once you get in, you discover they're actually doing some shady things."
Some people were even abducted and taken to other places, unable to escape even if they wanted to.”
Sirong covered her mouth in feigned horror, her eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness as she pressed on, "Is it that serious? Could those students who disappeared from our school before also be related to these companies?"
Li Zihan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sirong with shining eyes and said in a low voice, "You've heard about this too? The school is afraid of causing panic among the students, so they don't allow it to be spread. In fact, it's not just students who are missing. I heard that some students who were looking for internships outside have also disappeared for unknown reasons."
Sirong nodded in surprise and agreed, "Yeah, that's terrible! I couldn't believe it when I heard about it. We're T University, how could something like this happen?"
Zhang Lili also interjected, sighing, "Exactly. What kind of fate do we have? It's so hard to find a job! Those scammers are taking advantage of our eagerness to find internships, so they're so rampant."
Sirong nodded and said seriously, "So everyone must be more careful. I don't know how those seniors are doing now.
Next time you go for an interview, be careful and do some research on the company's background. Don't be fooled by high salaries."
Li Zihan and Zhang Lili nodded, obviously agreeing with Sirong's reminder.
Li Zihan continued, "Yes, after the last incident, Wang Nan and I were both terrified and were very careful when looking for internships.
We also looked up the company online and found a lot of people saying they had problems. Some people auditioned and then never heard from them again.”
Zhang Lili agreed, "Yes, I've heard of similar things. Some companies use the guise of recruitment to engage in illegal activities. Those students who disappeared from our school might have been deceived by such companies."
Sirong secretly took note of this information, but on the surface she remained calm and continued chatting with them. She understood that these seemingly casual conversations actually provided her with important clues.
That night, after Sirong returned to the dormitory, she immediately hid in the bathroom and locked the door to ensure that no one else could eavesdrop or peek.
She took out a miniature communication device from a hidden compartment, skillfully activated the encrypted channel, and reported the details of her conversation with Li Zihan and Zhang Lili today to the police.
"No matter whether that company is related to this missing persons case or not, it's better to investigate it first." Sirong emphasized in the report.
"The timing of those students' disappearances coincided with the appearance of these suspicious job postings. Even if there's no direct connection, it's worth investigating further. Especially regarding that so-called 'entertainment company,' the interview location was remote, the interview process was sloppy, and they even required auditions, which is highly unusual."
The "teachers" at the police command center listened carefully to Sirong's report and quickly responded: "Received. We will immediately arrange for the technical department to investigate. You and Yu Zhuangzhuang will continue to keep a low profile. If necessary, you can go deeper into the group to collect more clues."
After hanging up the call, she and Xiao 5 successfully sneaked into the recruitment information group by hiding their identities.
This group has a large number of people, and the chat history scrolls quickly, with a wide variety of recruitment information, including some seemingly high-paying and attractive positions.
However, Sirong keenly noticed that some recruitment information seemed particularly suspicious. The interview locations were remote, the requirements were simple, but the salaries were ridiculously high.
"There must be something wrong with this information." Sirong thought secretly, and worked with Xiaowu to search along the Internet, trying to find the source of this information.
After some technical tracking, they finally locked down the identity of the group owner.
The founder of this group is not a suspicious person, but an enthusiastic senior.
The group owner's original intention was good, to facilitate everyone's job search and share some recruitment information. However, due to the complexity of the information in the group and the difficulty of management, it is inevitable that some fake recruitment information posted by criminals will be mixed in.
Sirong and Xiao 5 dug deeper and discovered that several accounts frequently posted suspicious recruitment information. The registration information of these accounts was vague, and the IP addresses changed frequently, clearly indicating an intention to hide their true identities.
"There's definitely something fishy about these accounts," Xiao Wu told Sirong over encrypted messaging. "The information they post mostly points to remote locations, and the interview process is simplistic and sloppy. It's very likely a trap to lure students."
Sirong nodded and responded, "Continue to monitor this group and report the information of these suspicious accounts to the police. The technical department must quickly identify the true identities and specific locations of these people."
"Ok!"
At the same time, the police technical department also launched a comprehensive investigation, using various technical means to track down the manipulators behind these suspicious accounts.
