Chapter 588 Human Trafficking

There was no way a cigarette would appear in the women's restroom. In that split second, Elspeth knew that it was a man who had kidnapped Yelena. Moreover, there might be more than one kidnapper. Callum took the cigarette and examined it. However, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "This cigarette is a normal brand. We might not replace anything from it."

"No." Elspeth carefully wrapped the cigarette with a tissue. "We can replace out whose DNA is on the cigarette. I will replace out who he is."

Hearing her words, Callum looked at her with admiration and said, "Should we go back now to analyze it?"

"We can't." Elspeth frowned. "We will be wasting too much time if we head back now. I'll call Harper over and have him analyze it. On the other hand, we will replace Yelena."

Meanwhile, Callum looked down at the ground. Since it had just rained, a layer of mud covered the ground. Right there, Callum saw footprints.

"This might be the suspect's footprints."

Hearing his words, Elspeth crouched to take a close look. When she was abroad, she learned about the criminal investigation from a veteran detective. Thus, she was sure that the kidnappers who abducted Yelena were two men, and they were almost 6 feet tall.

After they exited the restroom, Elspeth saw tire tracks on the side of the road.

"They must have been waiting for Yelena in the restroom. Once they caught her, they immediately took her to the car and drove away." Unfortunately, Elspeth couldn't tell which way the car went since it was dark.

Besides her, Callum looked left and right before saying, "He must have headed toward the west side."

"Why?" Elspeth was startled by his answer.

"The east side is an urban area. Now that it's late, the urban area is brightly lit. Moreover, there aren't any intersections, and there are police checkpoints. Thus, they would be caught easily. On the other hand, the west side... is the way to the mountains."

As soon as Elspeth heard his words, her face went pale. "Is this human trafficking?"

"I'm afraid so," Callum replied in a low voice.

If it was human trafficking, Yelena was in a much more dangerous situation than they expected.

"Go and get the car, Callum. We are heading toward the west side now."

Callum was worried that the same thing would happen to Elspeth if he left her alone.

"Don't worry about me. I can handle it if anything happens."

Only after hearing that did Callum feel at ease.

After he arrived with the car, Elspeth got in it. As they headed toward the west side, she called Hank and told him to be on the lookout on the east side. That way, the kidnappers wouldn't be able to slip past their hands if they were to make the wrong guess.

In the middle of the night, Yelena slowly opened her eyes as the car rocked sideways. When she noticed that she was in an unfamiliar place, she tried to call for help. However, she noticed that she couldn't make a sound. Only then did she realize that her mouth was taped shut.

At this moment, she was inside a minivan. A man was driving the car, while another man was beside her. When one of the men noticed she was awake, he smiled evilly and stared at her as he sat straight up. "Oh, it seems like the beauty is awake."

In that split second, Yelena felt panic surging through her heart. However, she knew that it was useless to be afraid now. Thus, she tried to calm herself by taking a few deep breaths.

When the man saw her chest rising and falling, his eyes were filled with lust. "She looks beautiful, man. Why don't we pull up and have some fun with her?" The man had never slept with such a beautiful woman before. If he could do the deed with her, he would have no regrets.

"You are a good-for-nothing." The man who was driving scolded him.

"Who cares. Damn. She looks young; I bet her body is delicate." As the man spoke, he reached out and touched Yelena's skin. When he felt the smoothness underneath his fingertips, he grew excited. "Bro, this is the first time I have ever seen such soft skin."

"That's enough. Stop fooling around. The guest is still waiting for us."

When the man heard his words, he retrieved his hand. However, he was still eyeing Yelena up and down.

On the other hand, Yelena felt nauseous when the man touched her. However, she couldn't express her disgust since she was afraid of provoking him. She would be doomed if they got angry.

Seeing that Yelena was looking at him with teary eyes, the man couldn't help but scoot closer to her. "What's wrong, sweetheart? Are you uncomfortable with the tape on your mouth?" As he spoke, Yelena could smell the stench of his breath.

She nodded and looked pitiful.

Looking at her, the man felt it would be fine to remove the duct tape. After all, it was useless to call for help since they were in the middle of the woods, not to mention that they were inside a car. Thus, he reached out and removed the duct tape from her mouth.

When the tape was removed, Yelena breathed heavily, feeling a sense of relief.

"Who are you guys?"

As a singer, Yelena had a sweet voice. When the man heard her voice, he shivered in excitement. Before he was going to speak, he suddenly realized that he was a kidnapper.

"We won't harm you. We are going to take you to a place." The man could feel his lust rising as he caressed Yelena's leg. Her legs are so smooth. I wish I could have sex with her, he thought. "What? Where are you guys taking me?" Although Yelena had feigned her panic, she was genuinely in fear.

"It's somewhere nice. You'll know once you get there. Now, stop asking questions. If you ask too much, you will be punished." The man snickered.

At this moment, the man in the front couldn't stand it anymore. He threw a pen at the other man and said, "Be serious about this. We are now kidnappers. Hurry up and put the tape back."

The other man rubbed his temple and said unwillingly, "She is weak. Plus, did you see how skinny she is? Nothing will happen even if I remove the tape from her mouth."

"It's for precautions. What if something happened? When that time comes, we cannot handle the consequences. Your heads might even be gone."

When the man heard his reminder, he realized how cruel their guest was. Thus, he nodded and took the duct tape. "Alright now, sweetheart. I'm going to keep your mouth shut. When we arrive at the place, I will remove it."

Yelena couldn't help but whimper when her freedom was once again taken away from her.
