Chapter 461 The Dying Xiaoyu (2)
"The smuggling of human organs in Country Y is rampant! The black market prices are skyrocketing..." When Sun Liang mentioned the black market organ trade in Country Y, he became furious.
Before coming here, he had heard from Deputy Director Jian that there was a famous private hospital in a city in Country Y that had been exposed in a human organ smuggling scandal...
Following repeated reports from the news media, the hospital's director finally admitted that they had unknowingly become accomplices in a human organ trafficking ring, transplanting kidneys from victims to patients in need. Police have arrested several suspects in the case, including two doctors from the hospital.
It turned out that this was done by a human organ smuggling gang in collusion with the doctors in the hospital.
They first lure young people from poor families into selling one of their kidneys for around 30,000 RMB each... The smuggling ring then resells the kidneys to patients in desperate need at a price more than ten times that, profiting hugely from the transaction.
To facilitate this crime, the organ trafficking ring even resorted to forging false documents, disguising young people selling kidneys as relatives of buyers in urgent need of kidney transplants. This scheme deceived hospital staff into performing kidney transplants.
According to statistics from Country Y, the country demands hundreds of thousands of kidneys annually, but only a few thousand are available for transplantation. Consequently, the black market for human organs is booming. News media outlets reported that during a surprise inspection of several slums in Country Y, authorities discovered that almost every adult in the area had only one kidney. These individuals, driven by poverty, had previously sold a kidney.
"Information from the Public Security Department shows that Xiaoyu is currently very likely being held as a subject in kidney research at a center called the International Kidney Research Center in Country Y..." said Sun Liang.
"The most important thing for us now is how to get close to the staff of this research center who are familiar with the inside story, so as to find an opportunity to get close to Xiaoyu," said Sun Liang and Liu Shan.
According to intelligence analysis, this International Kidney Research Center is very likely a human organ smuggling group that is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The owner of the International Kidney Research Center is called Piccard. He had a criminal record of human organ trafficking in Europe and had participated in many crimes of human organ trafficking. Although the European police have been tracking and investigating him, they have not found any conclusive evidence and are unable to bring him to justice.
Afterwards, Picard fled back to Country Y and used the dirty money he earned from buying and selling human organs to build this International Kidney Research Center.
Ostensibly conducting kidney disease research, this research center secretly scours the globe for low-cost kidneys. By buying low and selling high, they provide healthy, yet expensive, kidneys to patients' families in dire need. To this end, the center employs a team of highly skilled doctors. Their job isn't to research kidney treatments, but to perform nephrectomies on healthy individuals who have volunteered or been coerced into donating their kidneys, providing healthy kidney transplants to patients who can afford the high price. The center even has a cold storage facility capable of preserving kidneys for dozens of hours... This provides a steady supply of healthy kidneys to the families of patients in urgent need of transplants, and the profits snowball into the owner's pocket each year...
Although local police had always been suspicious of this research center, and rumors had reached their ears that the source of their kidneys was not worthy of respect, there was no real evidence...
"I think we still need to contact the local police and get their active cooperation. Because, by looking for Xiaoyu, we can also assist the local police in finding evidence of this research center's crime of trafficking in human organs!" said Liu Shan.
