Although Zhou Jianmin did not cause any actual harm to Meng Zhen, he did have a motive to commit the crime.
After being arrested, he honestly confessed everything under Zhao Wei's interrogation.
After his wife was arrested, Meng Zhigang lived in fear every day.
Afraid of being implicated.
After all, he clearly knew his wife's intention that day, but did not stop her, so he was considered an accomplice.
He was discharged from the hospital without waiting for his body to fully recover.
He first went to the Public Security Bureau to claim his son's body, paid for cremation and put the ashes into a box, and then carried him on the train back to Hai City.
As for asking his daughter for money, he was scared.
After those fifteen days in prison and Zhou Jianmin's arrest, he realized that his daughter was no longer the sickly girl they had manipulated.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
I have a stable job in a factory in my hometown, an older son, and now I no longer have the burden of my younger son. I will be able to live a comfortable life when I go back.
I have to say that men are more free and easy-going than women.
The reason why Zhou Jianmin did not drag Meng Zhigang into the water was because he was thinking about his eldest son and his husband's iron rice bowl.
If Meng Zhigang went to jail, he would lose his stable job and his eldest son would lose financial support.
When they are released from prison and return to Hai City, they have nothing. How will they live?
So even though I was full of resentment, I had to bear it all alone.
As for Zhao Wei, the case has not been closed yet.
Zhou Hang and the middleman acted as brokers, acting as matchmakers and receiving commissions after the deal was done.
And that small courtyard is their base for communicating with their superiors.
Just like an agent.
Because Zhou Hang himself suffers from uremia, he goes back and forth to the hospital for a long time and has made friends with many fellow patients.
Once he finds a target, he introduces it to a middleman, who then introduces it to the upstream supplier.
Once the kidney is removed or transplanted successfully, Zhou Hang and the middleman will receive a commission.
Zhou Hang's huge medical expenses were supported by commissions.
He alone has introduced dozens of customers in the past few years.
Not to mention that there are more than just the two of them, there are many more hiding in the crowd.
For example, customers who buy or sell kidneys may become introducers.
As the investigation deepened, a criminal chain of buying and selling human kidney organs gradually surfaced.
What shocked Zhao Wei and other detectives was that
This underground gang has existed in Donglin for at least ten years, but they were completely unaware of it.
If Zhou Jianmin's incident had not been exposed, I don't know how long this group of people would have continued to make money in silence.
Zhao Wei has been investigating this case in recent months.
But the progress was not smooth.
It was as if this group of people had vanished without a trace, and there was no trace of them at all.
There were even kidney patients who came to the bureau to complain, saying that their livelihoods had been cut off.
Because the hospital did not have a matching kidney type, they could only look for a kidney through other channels.
In the past, I could still hear about kidney selling, but now there is no news at all.
Zhao Wei had figured out something. The reason why this gang had existed for so long without being targeted by the police was because their customers were basically willing to do business.
From the buyers' perspective, the group helped them find the right kidney type, which was equivalent to saving their lives. They were so grateful that they didn't even have time to express it. Why would they expose the matter?
From the seller's perspective, they usually sell their kidneys because they are extremely short of money.
After the money and goods have been paid, there is no reason to turn against the person and report him.
Even if this is the case, how can the other party be a good person if they do this kind of business for a long time?
As for those who were forced to have their kidneys removed, it is estimated that they are a small minority.
Anyway, Zhao Wei has been in the public security system for several years and has never heard of anyone reporting having their kidney removed.
Zhao Wei takes a rest on weekends.
In the past few months, Meng Zhen was busy with studies and business, while Zhao Wei was busy with his case.
Neither party could agree on a suitable time.
We finally decided to have dinner together this weekend.
Weekend, small Western-style building.
Meng Zhen and Liu Yuzhou prepared hot pot to entertain Zhao Wei.
Also opened a bottle of red wine.
Meng Zhen clinked his goblet with Zhao Wei's. "Brother Wei, thank you so much for troubling you some time ago."
At that time, the Meng family had just arrived in Donglin and often went to the store to cause trouble for Meng Zhen.
Zhao Wei was very busy.
Liu Yuzhou also raised his glass to express his gratitude to Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei drank a glass of wine and waved his hand: "Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, you are too polite."
"To be honest, if my sister-in-law hadn't reported it, we wouldn't have known there was such a gang hiding in Donglin. Now the team is focusing on this case."
"How is it? Is there any progress? Has the person been caught?" Meng Zhen still felt a little scared when talking about the case.
She never expected that Zhou Jianmin would actually hire a professional kidney-removal gang to harm her.
Liu Yuzhou also looked at Zhao Wei with concern.
Zhao Wei shook his head and said helplessly, "No, we've found a few middlemen, but they haven't provided any new clues."
He shared the doubts and difficulties of the case with Meng Zhen and the others.
"This group is hiding too deeply. All the middlemen have made money from them and are refusing to cooperate with the police investigation. They are also afraid of getting into trouble and being retaliated by the group."
Meng Zhen understood.
Criminal investigation technology in the 1980s still had limitations, and it was impossible to use technological means to find people.
If there were road cameras or a Sky Eye system, by simply retrieving the surveillance footage of the streets in front and behind the alley at that time, at least the suspicious person could be identified.
Meng Zhen thought about it, and her consciousness returned to the space. She used the computer to search for news about future generations.
