Chapter 738
738 Wynter Makes the Delivery
Wynter also took Jackson’s words to heart, which was why she constantly took Lucas Into consideration .
“The human trafficking case in Havenlight County has a breakthrough. Apart from those you previously arrested, there’s a big player involved, and they have ties to Sandalwood Hospital.”
Lucas had considered many hospitals but hadn’t expected it to be Sandalwood.
“Wynter, you really threw me a big curveball. People who can get Sandalwood Hospital to do things for them must hold a significant position.”
J
“Yeah.” Wynter explained concisely, “There’s a major issue with Sandalwood Hospital.
“The children’s birth certificates held by the mastermind behind the child trafficking on this train were
issued by Sandalwood Hospital. There are mercenaries involved, too.
“Ordinary traffickers wouldn’t need mercenaries. I just asked, and the so–called mastermind doesn’t seem to know about the mercenaries among their people. I’ll keep investigating from my end.
“In less than half an hour, there’ll be a report about child trafficking on a train. You can use Sandalwood Hospital as a starting point for further investigation.”
Lucas understood this was a major case that would likely unearth a whole network of people.
“I’ll get to work right away. But Wynter, why are you on a train?” Lucas thought that Wynter was in Kingbourne with the Quinnells.
“I’m taking care of some personal matters.” Wynter glanced through the glass window at Eloise, who looked like she had been through a lot. “Anyway, I still have some questions I need to ask . I’ll leave the hospital corruption issue to you, Lucas.”
Lucas wanted to say more, but Wynter was quick to end the call.
Sandalwood Hospital… He needed to submit an investigation request to the higher–ups immediately.
After Wynter hung up the phone, she entered the crew compartment once again. She took out the pendant and placed it in front of Eloise. “Where did you get this?”
“I–I asked for it.” Eloise tried to take the pendant back.
Wynter pressed down on it with one hand. “From whom? I want specifics.”
“A medium,” Eloise told the truth./”I met him on this train. He gave it to me.”
Wynter’s fingers traced over the pendant’s surface. On this train?
That person was indeed cunning. Such an item wouldn’t have been casually given out on the train.
This wasn’t a coincidence, but rather a precaution he took to prevent the leaders delivering the children from facing retaliation due to the children’s resentment. He provided them with these items in advance for protection.
“What did the medium look like?” Wynter asked urgently.
Eloise didn’t dare to lie. “I don’t know. It was dark on the train after the lights went out, and he was wrapped up tightly. I couldn’t see his face.”
It was the same story again. Wynter had heard many people talking about this medium, but no one could describe what he looked like.
Wynter changed tack. “There are so many children. Who receives them?”
“There’s a guy named Trey. He waits for us at Swinford Station. When we arrive, he takes the children
away.”
Eloise was finally providing some useful information.
Wynter only paused for a second before contacting the team.
“Don’t send out a report on what just happened. Hold off for a day and keep an eye on online chatter. If anyone mentions this matter, use mystic arts to throw them–off.”
“Mystic arts? Boss, didn’t you say superstition is not advisable?” The person on the other end was typing rapidly. “Everything else is fine, but we need L to handle the online matters. Boss , is L with you ? ”
Wynter didn’t answer directly. “Focus on the other tasks, then.”
“Got it. I’ll do my best to keep it under wraps. Did you find any leads?”
Wynter’s voice remained calm. “Release a few of the captives and let them continue the delivery!
