Yu Hanjiang had only been in the hospital for two days after his surgery, and he shouldn't have been discharged. However, Yu Hanjiang was recovering very well and was able to get out of bed and walk around. Secondly, he was still carrying the burden of a murder case and had to return to the team to investigate as soon as possible. Thirdly, Xiao Lou was his attending physician, and Xiao Lou signed the consent form for his discharge. No one else said anything, and the department head politely gave him a few instructions before letting Yu Hanjiang go.
The night before last, his clothes were stained with blood from the emergency treatment and had been cut to shreds by the nurse. Yu Hanjiang couldn't very well go on the investigation wearing his plaid hospital gown. Fortunately, after hearing the news of his discharge, his colleagues at the Police Station cleverly brought him a new set of clothes. Yu Hanjiang changed in the bathroom and went to the urology ward on the 17th floor with Xiao Lou.
Wearing a police uniform, Yu Hanjiang regained his former charisma. His handsome and serious face immediately inspired fear, not to mention his tall and imposing stature, which gave him a strong sense of pressure.
Even though Professor Qin Changming was a highly respected senior expert and had high hopes for Yu Hanjiang, he even poured Yu Hanjiang some water: " Officer Yu, I heard you were injured while investigating a case and were brought to our hospital for emergency treatment. Are you discharged so soon? Take care of yourself!"
— Qin Changming, Director of Urology, Renchuan Hospital. He has gray hair, a slightly plump figure, and a smiling face; he is very kind and approachable.
Yu Hanjiang said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Professor Qin. My injury is not serious and I have almost recovered. I am bothering you today because I have some questions I would like to ask you. I hope you can cooperate."
Qin Changming smiled and said, "Of course, cooperating with the police is our civic duty. Officer Yu, do you have any questions?"
Yu Hanjiang asked directly, " You were the one who performed the kidney transplant on Shao Qingge, right?"
Qin Changming said calmly, "It's me. Shao Qingge is the only son of my old classmate Shao Zhengyang. He's been in poor health since childhood. Old Shao asked me to perform surgery on his son, and of course I couldn't refuse. The surgery went smoothly. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Do you know where kidneys come from?
"I don't know about this. Lao Shao bought it with money. He said the donor didn't want to reveal his name."
"You dare to perform surgery on kidneys of unknown origin?"
" Officer Yu, you don't know this. It's very common for organ donors to remain anonymous. Of course, in principle, our hospital will help find them, but organs aren't easy to find. Sometimes, families have connections and can find a suitable kidney. As long as we check the kidney function and it's fine, we can still perform the transplant surgery. After all, we can't just stand by and watch someone die, right?" Qin Changming said with a smile.
"How many kidney transplant surgeries have you performed in the past three years? Can you provide the medical records for all of them?" Yu Hanjiang asked.
"Not many, about ten cases in total." Qin Changming opened his computer and said, "Kidney transplantation requires a lot of money, which ordinary people cannot afford and will give up treatment; even those who can afford the medical expenses may not be able to find a suitable kidney."
He took out his kidney transplant case file and said, " Officer Yu, if you need it, I can make a copy of these patients' information for you." Qin Changming quickly compressed and packaged the information, and Yu Hanjiang stepped forward and copied it onto a USB drive.
"By the way, why the sudden call about a kidney transplant? Is something wrong?" Qin Changming looked at Yu Hanjiang with suspicion. "Our surgeries are all performed according to regulations, and the ten surgeries I've performed have been very successful. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"I'm sorry, the reason for the investigation is not convenient to disclose at the moment." Yu Hanjiang unplugged the USB drive and said politely, "Thank you for your cooperation, Professor Qin. If there are any problems in the future, I may trouble you again."
"You're welcome, you're welcome anytime." Qin Changming smiled and saw Yu Hanjiang off.
When Yu Hanjiang left, Xiao Lou was waiting for him in the hallway. They exchanged a glance, and Xiao Lou thoughtfully...
Through a telepathic connection, someone asked, "Do you think Qin Changming is highly suspicious?"
"He spoke very calmly, seemingly completely unaware of the situation. It's very likely that he only performed surgery on patients who needed kidney transplants and wasn't directly involved in organ smuggling," Yu Hanjiang said as he walked briskly forward. "I think your speculation is more reasonable. The one truly involved in organ smuggling is likely some illegal clinic. Whether this hospital is an intermediary or genuinely unaware of the situation still needs further investigation."
" CEO Shao said his parents have arrived. Do you want to go and ask them?"
"Okay." Yu Hanjiang paused. " Zhao Sen is in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department. If I go there now in my police uniform, it might alert this murderer. Take Shao Qingge's parents to your office. I'll talk to them."
Xiao Lou nodded and parted ways with Yu Hanjiang at the fork in the road.
When they arrived at the Cardiovascular Surgery Department ICU, Shao Qingge's parents had already finished their visit and were in the corridor confirming the surgical details with Zhao Sen and signing the informed consent form.
Xiao Lou walked over and politely said, "Hello Uncle Shao, I'm Xiao Lou, a friend of Shao Qingge."
Shao Zhengyang's gaze was gentle: "Hello. I heard from Qingge that you cared about him a lot during his hospitalization, visiting him every day. Thank you."
"Of course. Uncle, please come to my office after you're done with your work. I'll take care of some things and hand them over to you."
"OK."
After signing the informed consent form with Zhao Sen, he turned around and followed Xiao Lou to the General Surgery Department ward.
To his surprise, a tall, handsome policeman with sharp, piercing eyes stood in the office. He calmly said, "Mr. Shao, I am Yu Hanjiang, the captain of the Municipal Criminal Police Department. I have a few questions for you."
Shao Zhengyang looked at Xiao Lou, who smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Uncle Shao, I didn't mean to lie to you. Officer Yu asked me to call you over."
"Oh? What do you want with me?" Shao Zhengyang frowned. "I've always done business in accordance with the law over the years, and I've never done anything to evade taxes. Besides, shouldn't the Criminal Police Officer be the one to investigate taxes?"
"It's not a tax issue." Yu Hanjiang stepped forward, calmly meeting Old Mr. Shao's gaze. "It's your son's right kidney. Mr. Shao, do you know where this kidney came from?"
"I had someone buy it," Shao Zhengyang said calmly. "It may sound cold-blooded, but some people do value money more than health. They're willing to sell a kidney if they're willing to pay a high price. Qingge is the only son of the Shao family, and I will spare no effort to save him. Besides, this kidney wasn't expensive; it only cost 20 million gold coins. I don't know exactly where it was bought from. My assistant handled this matter. He resigned and went back to his hometown six months ago. If you want to know the details, you can contact him."
"Aren't you afraid that the kidneys from unknown sources were illegally obtained?" Yu Hanjiang asked in a deep voice.
"I don't care about any of that. All I know is that it can save my son," Shao Zhengyang said coldly. "Buying a kidney to save my son isn't illegal, is it? If you become a father one day and your son gets sick, you will also do everything you can to save him."
"..." Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang exchanged a glance, feeling quite helpless.
CEO Shao's "father" is difficult to deal with. It seems that the matter of buying and selling kidneys still needs to be investigated by finding the missing assistant. It is unknown whether he was silenced. This clue may need to be investigated by Shao Qingge.
Yu Hanjiang temporarily saw Old Mr. Shao off, said goodbye to Xiao Lou, and then went back to work at the Police Station.
Xiao Lou continued his research, downloading all the information on doctors at the hospital who had performed organ transplants and saving it in his email before sending it to Yu Hanjiang. The busy day ended, and although a lot of information had accumulated, it was still difficult to identify the suspect.
There are too many departments that perform organ transplants, including not only kidney transplants, but also heart transplants, liver transplants, and even corneal transplants in ophthalmology.
Corneas are also very difficult to obtain, since the person who donates a cornea will go blind, and generally only those who are near death will donate. However, corneal matching is relatively easy to find, and the adaptability is high. Therefore, if the organ transplant organization is a group of "money-driven" ruthless people, they can kill a person and sell multiple organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and corneas to obtain the greatest profit.
This is quite frightening. In their eyes, humans are like pigs and sheep, which can be bought and sold at will!
Xiao Lou still couldn't sleep well that night.
Ye Qi also didn't sleep well because Shao Qingge connected with him via Telepathic Connection and joked with him through the Telepathic Connection channel: "I'm going to have surgery tomorrow morning, and Dr. Zhao will personally operate on me."
Ye Qi was terrified. CEO Shao hadn't seen the plot card and didn't know how cruel Zhao Sen was, but Ye Qi had personally witnessed Zhao Sen chopping up corpses. He said nervously, "Why don't you skip the surgery and I'll take you away tonight?"
Shao Qingge said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm lucky. Besides, Xiao Lou will personally act as my assistant and keep an eye on Zhao Sen. "
Ye Qi was still worried: "I also want to watch you have surgery. Can I go in wearing an invisibility cloak? Or can Liu Qiao shrink me to the size of a thumb and I'll crawl into Professor Xiao's pocket? Oh, and Liu Qiao also has a bottle of antidote. Let's take it with us, just to be safe."
Hearing his panicked voice, Shao Qingge calmed down instead. He said softly, "Alright, I shouldn't have teased you. Don't be nervous, I'll be fine. If I were killed by Zhao Sen on the operating table, it wouldn't be an A-level difficulty secret room, it would be an SS-level difficulty. Besides, it's not like Zhao Sen is the only one performing the surgery on me, there are many other doctors and nurses here."
Ye Qi said with a bitter face, "Okay, CEO Shao, you should get some rest. I hope everything goes well." After a pause, Ye Qi added excitedly, "By the way, I put the eavesdropping device in the operating room. If Zhao Sen dares to touch you, I'll rush in and kill him."
Shao Qingge: "..."
Hearing the clear voice of a 7-year-old child beside him, Shao Qingge couldn't help but smile.
He knew that although tomorrow's surgery was extremely dangerous, he was not facing it alone.
He also has teammates.
***
The next morning, Xiao Lou woke up and hurriedly washed her face and brushed her teeth, then ate a quick breakfast.
Just as I was about to turn around and head to the Cardiovascular Surgery Department ward, I received a message from Yu Hanjiang. A deep male voice echoed in my mind: "I've made a new discovery. Another dismemberment case. An elderly woman from a suburban apartment building reported it to the police. They only found the victim's limbs, not the torso. The modus operandi is very similar to the Ch
eng Shaofeng dismemberment case. There's too much information to investigate. Have Long Sen and Lao Mo discharged to help me. You take good care of CEO Shao first."
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and calmly said, "Don't worry, I will protect CEO Shao. I'm going to the operating room now."
