Chapter 223: Insider We suspect that there might be someone inside the Hoi An Public Security Bureau...
"You!" Wei Zhengyi stood up suddenly, raised his finger and pointed at him, his chest heaving with anger: "How could you--"
"Young man, why are you so angry?" Du Jiande glanced at him nonchalantly, as if he was making a fuss. "I'm helping them. Otherwise, what's the point of people like that living in this world? They kowtow for two meals all day long, have no place to live, and have no dignity at all. Death can actually give them a break."
"This is just your opinion!" Wei Zhengyi said angrily, "Their lives are in their own hands. Even if they die, it should be their own decision, instead of you using deception as a pretext to let them die in vain!"
"What's wrong with not understanding? Sometimes being confused is a good thing. Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's rare to be confused.'" Du Jiande said calmly, "Even after they die, their organs can still be given to those in need. That's their value."
Wei Zhengyi felt that he was simply unreasonable and stared at him for a long time. It was not until Shen Qingye patted his shoulder gently that he sat down in great anger.
Zhou Qiming, Luo Kaiyang and others didn't look much better either.
Shen Qingye slowly calmed down. This kind of person has his own logic and you can't convince him.
Instead of arguing about this here, it's better to find out more information.
She asked, “What do you know about Sacred Heart Hospital?”
"Not much." Du Jiande said slowly, "We don't have much contact except for organ trading. But one thing I know is that there should be more than one hospital like ours."
Shen Qingye suddenly raised his eyes to look at him: "What do you mean?"
Du Jiande said: "One time, their truck came to collect the goods. When the truck was opened, I saw many boxes filled with organs."
"Since it didn't come from us, it must have come from somewhere else."
"Moreover, when they first started working with me, they taught me how to obtain organs in a very proficient manner. I could tell at a glance that they must have had experience before."
Everyone looked at each other with serious expressions.
This news caught them off guard. Zhongai Hospital alone had so many lives on its hands. If we add other hospitals...
It is hard to imagine how much darkness lurks behind the peaceful society in which they live every day.
Shen Qingye said in a deep voice: "Do you know exactly how many hospitals there are and where they are?"
“How would I know that?” Du Jiande said helplessly, “I’m just a marginal figure. Apart from providing organs, I have no other value. Even at their hospital, apart from the drivers who come back to pick up the goods, I basically haven’t seen anyone else.”
"But..." He paused, and then said, "I estimate that it should not be too far from Sacred Heart Hospital. After all, except for kidneys, which can be preserved for a little longer outside the human body, the preservation period of other organs such as the heart and lungs is only a few hours. Sometimes they will notify us what type of organ they need, and we will send it to them as soon as we find it. The one-way trip must not exceed four hours. For example, it takes about three hours to go to our hospital."
It’s too far and transportation is inconvenient.
Shen Qingye pondered, if that's the case, then any place within four hours' drive from the Sacred Heart Hospital could exist.
Plus what Du Jiande just said, that set of skilled operating procedures...
In a small county town, there is a hospital similar to Zhongai Hospital.
Shen Qingye said, "The car from Sacred Heart Hospital will come on time at 1 a.m. every Saturday?"
Du Jiande said: "That's right."
Today is Friday.
Shen Qingye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tomorrow, how should I behave? Dean Du should know, right?"
Du Jiande smiled: "I really like talking to smart people."
·
"Are you planning to send the organs to Sacred Heart Hospital as originally planned, and then seize the person red-handed?"
As he walked out, Zhou Qiming asked.
Shen Qingye replied yes, and then said: "There is another reason."
"What's the reason?" Wei Zhengyi asked.
The door of the monitoring room opened, Yue Lingchuan walked over, Shen Qingye stopped and looked up at him.
Yue Lingchuan helped her explain: "The Zhongai Hospital alone collects so many organs every year. Now that other hospitals are added, the number will increase several times."
"Sacred Heart Hospital is notorious for charging high fees. In addition, the price of the organs they received was not low, so it would be even more expensive to sell them. Ordinary people simply cannot afford them. Their customer base is only a small number of wealthy people, but there are only so many wealthy people, and the number of organs they need is also limited."
"So where do all those extra organs go?"
Luo Kaiyang pondered: "So, Boss, you are suspecting that... the Sacred Heart Hospital is not actually at the top of this industry chain? Is there someone else behind them?"
Zhou Qiming couldn't help but say, "But there are only a few well-known hospitals in China that can perform kidney transplants. Except for Sacred Heart Hospital, the others are all public hospitals. Such hospitals shouldn't accept organs of unknown origin, right?"
"Who knows?" Yue Lingchuan sighed, "In fact, if it flows to other hospitals in the country... things would be simpler."
Shen Qingye murmured, "I'm afraid those organs are not in the country..."
If you are not in China, you can still go——
Everyone thought of something and their expressions gradually became serious.
"Whether it's in the country or not, this case is beyond our scope of responsibility and must be reported."
Handling cases across provinces...or across borders is not something that can be decided by just one city bureau.
It's just right, we can take advantage of this time to make some arrangements.
·
The newly appointed director of the municipal bureau was obviously intent on making some achievements, and he quickly reported the news to the provincial department after receiving it. Since Qin Hongshan basically had no control over the matter, the matter was handed over to the Executive Deputy Director Dai Chuanyi.
Dai Chuanyi was also a man of swift and decisive character. After receiving the news, he realized the wide scope and serious nature of the case, so he immediately set up the 12.17 task force, personally serving as the team leader, and appointing Yan Haifeng and Yue Lingchuan as deputy team leaders. At the same time, he was worried that they might not be able to cover up the case in the end, so he reported it to the Ministry of Public Security.
While waiting for a response from the Ministry of Public Security, Dai Chuanyi convened a meeting of the Criminal Investigation Brigade to arrange and deploy an operation in the early hours of Saturday morning. He also sent a request to the neighboring Hoi An Province for assistance in the investigation.
Everything is ready, just time to arrive.
By 11 o'clock on Friday night, people from all parties were already in place.
The parking lot behind Zhongai Hospital looked as quiet as usual, but in fact, dozens of criminal police were lying in ambush around it, guarding against security.
Zhou Qiming followed Du Jiande, pretending to be an assistant. On the one hand, he kept an eye on Du Jiande, and on the other hand, he also observed the approaching driver closely.
Apart from that, the other people around were all "experienced people" who were responsible for transporting and loading in the past, and in order to avoid them showing any abnormality, they had no idea what was going to be done tonight.
The hour hand slowly passed twelve, and in the blink of an eye, it was a new day.
The night was dark. The bright stars and the moon that were usually visible everywhere were covered by dark clouds. The entire sky was pitch black, depressing and heavy.
One minute, two minutes...
At 00:58, a pair of dim car lights slowly appeared on the road not far away.
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other and watched what would happen.
Shake hands, exchange pleasantries, load the truck.
Everything went smoothly.
At 1:17, the car turned around and left.
Trackers were affixed to the inside of the carriage, and there were also arranged cars following it alternately on the road. Even the final destination was being watched by Yan Haifeng and his men.
Just wait for the car to arrive.
All the staff of Zhongai Hospital were under control. As there was nothing to do here for the time being, the members of the task force returned to the provincial department. While waiting for news, they also took a break every moment.
At 3:45 in the morning, news came from Yan Haifeng that the director of Sacred Heart Hospital and the deputy director and others were waiting in the basement of the hospital.
At 3:58, the car drove along the underground passage and entered the Sacred Heart Hospital.
At 4:03, the car met with the director of Sacred Heart Hospital, and Yan Haifeng caught him red-handed.
"During this operation, we arrested the director and vice director of Sacred Heart Hospital, as well as the heads of various departments, doctors, and loaders, a total of 17 people. We counted 29 sets of kidneys, one set of hearts, one set of livers, and a number of eggs. Please give us your instructions on how to proceed."
Dai Chuanyi hummed and said calmly, "Well done. This case involves two provinces. There is no need to rush to bring the suspect back. Just interrogate him nearby. The experts sent by the Ministry of Public Security have already arrived in Hoi An, and I will rush there later. Remember, the most important thing is to find out from them where the organs were sent."
Yan Haifeng simply agreed. Dai Chuanyi handed over the matters here and rushed to Hoi An with Shen Qingye, Yue Lingchuan and others.
·
The provincial office is relatively close to Hoi An, and it only takes less than two hours to drive there. It was almost six o'clock when we arrived at our destination. Dai Chuanyi rejected the proposal of the Hoi An Public Security Bureau to welcome him and asked directly: "How is the interrogation going?"
Yan Haifeng's face didn't look good: "Not very ideal."
Shen Qingye looked at him, and Yan Haifeng said, "When we first showed up, Wang Hongji was very surprised. Later, when the interrogation began, the evidence was conclusive, and he admitted what he had done. But he never said where the organs were sent. Even when he did say it, he only said it was normal loss during transportation and storage."
Wang Hongji is the president of Sacred Heart Hospital.
"The torture experts sent by the Ministry of Public Security are interrogating him, but no matter what they ask, he just keeps his eyes down and ignores you."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the monitoring room. Shen Qingye looked at the old man leaning back in the interrogation chair with his eyes slightly closed on the surveillance screen, and his brows slowly furrowed.
"Where are the others? Didn't they say they arrested seventeen people in total?"
Yan Haifeng said: "The others did explain some things. They admitted that apart from the organs that the hospital kept for itself, most of the remaining organs would be taken away by a special car. But they didn't know who the driver was or where they would be sent."
Shen Qingye asked: "Even the vice president of the hospital doesn't know?"
Yan Haifeng shook his head: "The vice president was also promoted by Wang Hongji. He is usually responsible for handling the external affairs of the hospital. He really doesn't know about these things."
"To be precise, except for Wang Hongji, no one else knew about it. He kept it very secret and was very careful in his daily life, not revealing any clues."
The few of them pondered for a moment. In the surveillance footage, Wang Hongji still looked calm, with no emotion fluctuating at all.
Shen Qingye looked at Yan Haifeng and said, "You just said that the hospital will keep some of the organs, and a vehicle will come to transport the rest?"
"When does that car usually come?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Haifeng's face became serious. "Normally, the truck loaded with organs leaves Zhongai Hospital at one o'clock and arrives at Sacred Heart Hospital around four o'clock. The people at Sacred Heart Hospital will then load and unload the organs, and about an hour later, the truck will arrive to collect the organs."
"After we controlled Sacred Heart and got the news, we specifically asked the relevant personnel to load and transport the goods as usual. We wanted to catch the driver in one fell swoop, but the car didn't show up until 5:30."
"They say this has never happened before."
Yan Haifeng looked extremely serious.
After they arrived, they immediately took control of the Sacred Heart. No one was allowed to enter but not leave, and all communication facilities were cut off. It is certain that no one can pass the news outside.
But unfortunately, the car that was supposed to come didn't come.
In this situation, he could only think that someone had tipped off.
But after excluding the people in the hospital, who else could have obtained such accurate information and disclosed it in a timely manner?
"We suspect... there may be someone inside the Hoi An Public Security Bureau who is supporting them..."
