Mystery Tracker 3

Chapter 116 Seeking Roots

So Cheng Jinsong and Shen Hao acted separately and started a new round of investigation.The investigation quickly progressed, and Shen Hao found out that Chen Wenbin's father, Chen Jianlang, had just completed a kidney transplant operation at the Medical University Hospital.

"So he went to the hospital that day to see his father." Shen Hao said to Cheng Jinsong, "I heard that his father's kidney failure has been on dialysis for more than 10 years. Not long ago—that is, after his accident—his father suddenly found I got a matching one, and then underwent a kidney transplant. The old man seems to have just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago."

"Kidney transplant?" Cheng Jinsong frowned, "Why such a coincidence?"

"It's more than just a coincidence," Shen Hao said, handing the information he found to Cheng Jinsong, "According to the surgery information, Chen Wenbin's father only applied for the surgery schedule in June this year. There has been no movement before. But when he had an accident, he suddenly had diarrhoea; what's more interesting is that his father's surgery cost, their family only paid 6 yuan, and the remaining hundreds of thousands were raised with the help of crowdfunding agencies-and this Hundreds of thousands were raised in almost a week, so fast, right?"

"Hey, this thing is getting more and more interesting." Cheng Jinsong raised his eyebrows, "It seems that we need an explanation from the crowdfunding platform."

With the investigation procedures issued by the police, Shen Hao and Cheng Jinsong soon got the fundraising records of Chen Wenbin's father, Chen Jianlang.Records show that Chen Wenbin applied for crowdfunding for his father's kidney transplant at the beginning of this year.The initial target amount was 50 yuan, and only a few thousand yuan was raised in the first six months, but a week or so after Chen Wenbin deleted the information and absconded, 70 yuan was suddenly credited into the account.The 70 yuan was transferred into six or seven accounts, and the donation amount of each account was around 10 yuan.Further investigation of these account records found that the transaction records of these accounts are very suspicious, and there is a high probability that they are dedicated money laundering accounts.

"That is to say, this is the hush money paid to Chen Wenbin by the black hands behind the scenes." Cheng Jinsong looked at the investigation results and sneered, "They helped Chen Wenbin's father transplant a kidney, and Chen Wenbin shouldered all the charges alone. Don't let go after biting to death."

"But brother Jin," Shen Hao said, "the money in these money laundering accounts has been poured into countless hands, and it may be difficult to find out the real source of funds."

"It's okay, I'll hand it over to the Economic Detective and let them help with the investigation," Cheng Jinsong said.

"But it may take some time for them to find out who is behind the scenes, right?"

"Economic investigators are best at fighting protracted battles."

Before Cheng Jinsong finished speaking, his cell phone rang suddenly.Cheng Jinsong picked up the phone: "Hi, Ruiheng. Did you find it? Well, okay, I see."

Shen Hao noticed that Cheng Jinsong's expression didn't look like he had gained a lot, and after he hung up the phone, he said, "Ruiheng asked his photographer friend, and checked the surveillance video, and later confirmed that it was him. One of his photography assistants leaked the secret. According to the assistant, it was one of his female netizens who wanted to take a look at the wedding photos of the two of us, so this person sent a photo in the past. It is said that it was still a flash photo at the time, but It was still saved by the other party.

"Look at your photos?" Shen Hao frowned, "Why do you want to see your photos?"

"It is said that the other party said that they did not believe that two men would hold a wedding. It must have been a bit aggressive, but this silly boy really fell for it." Cheng Jinsong twitched, "Ruiheng confirmed with him, he What was sent to that female netizen was indeed the last photo Chen Wenbin sent."

"But how did he know that you used this photographer?"

"Ruiheng said that this photographer is well-known in the gay circle, and he has photographed a few couples before. I don't know if the other party just cast a net and got the news, or got the news from some other way." Cheng Jinsong said here, Self-deprecating, the corners of his lips were raised, "Your brother said at the beginning not to hold any ceremony, because he was afraid of leaking the news, but he really hit the mark."

"But this is not something that people from Enyuan Hospital would do." Shen Hao said, "Helping Chen Wenbin's father find someone for a kidney transplant, these are things that Enyuan Hospital can do, after all, they are also In the medical industry. But getting your photos to cause trouble for you doesn't seem to do Enyuan any good, and they have no reason to do so."

Cheng Jinsong nodded: "Probably only Chen Wenbin knows about this. But judging by his appearance, he probably won't open his mouth easily. After all, he has already reaped the benefits. His behavior can't be sentenced for a few years, but his father actually got it." a kidney."

Shen Hao frowned, obviously very unwilling.Seeing him like this, Cheng Jinsong patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay. There is still time, after all, we are not at the end of the rope now. Continue to investigate along the existing clues. As long as we are patient, we can always find out who is behind the scenes." Black hands dug it out." At this point he looked out the window, "I don't know if your brother has found anything..."

Let's talk about Shen Yan.He and Qin Kai took the plane first, and then transferred to the car. It took a long time to arrive at the destination in the evening.Although it was past the off-duty hour, the local bureau still arranged for a police officer to wait for them at the station.

"Hi Captain Shen, my name is Liu Lianlian, you can just call me Xiao Liu." The young police officer reached out and shook hands with the two of them respectively, "You two have worked hard all the way, I will take you to dinner first, Then send the two of you to the hotel, and tomorrow I will take you to find someone."

"Thank you." Shen Yan asked while walking towards the car with the other party, "That place is not very far from here, right? I checked online and the driving time is about 20 minutes."

"It's not too far away, but the person you're looking for doesn't live there anymore," Police Officer Xiao Liu said.Seeing that Shen Yan was puzzled, he continued to explain: "Because of our city's new district planning last year, an airport was to be built there, so that large area was completely demolished." Noticing that both Shen Yan and Qin Kai frowned, Police Officer Xiao Liu He comforted: "But you two don't worry too much. Our team leader contacted an old film policeman from the local police station today. He has worked there for 30 to [-] years and knows the local situation and personnel very well. With his help, we should You can find the person you want to check."

Officer Xiao Liu did what he said, and brought an old policeman surnamed Qiao to Shen Yan's guest house early the next morning.Police officer Old Qiao was indeed comparable to the household registration book of human flesh. After seeing the names, he quickly recalled Li Xuanzhe's family situation.

"This Li Jing's family—that is, Li Xuanzhe's father—is an alcoholic, he loves to drink all day long, and makes trouble after drinking, so the first wife divorced him after a few years of marriage, and the child was left to him— — This is Li Xuanzhe. Later, Li Jing’s family married a new wife. This wife was able to manage Li Jing’s family, but she gave birth to two sons, so it’s inevitable that she didn’t care so much about the ones who weren’t her own.” Officer Qiao recalled, “ I remember that this kid was keen on making money since he was a child. When he was in elementary school, he skipped class to start a small business. Once he got into a fight because of this. I asked him what do you do for money, and he said he wanted to make money to find Go to his mother." At this point, Officer Qiao sighed, "In fact, he is also a poor child, and he has never seen his mother since he was a child. Later, he went to work abroad, and I seem to have never heard of it after that. I have heard about him. When Li Jing's family died three years ago, it seems that he has not heard of him coming back."

Shen Yan nodded, and then asked: "Does Li Xuanzhe have any relatives? Is there any male who looks very similar to him, who is about 40 or [-] years old?"

As he spoke, he handed over Lee's ID photo of pretending to be Li Xuanzhe.Officer Qiao was taken aback when he saw the photo: "This isn't Li Xuanzhe?!"

"Our technicians have analyzed that this person is not Li Xuanzhe."

"Yo, then they look really alike..." Police Officer Joe sighed, and then said, "But I haven't seen this person, nor heard of such a person. I remember that their team is quite thin. , Li Jing’s family has only one elder brother, named Li Jingzhong, Li Jingzhong has two sons and a daughter, but I have seen both sons, and they don’t look like this.”

Although Officer Qiao was very sure, Shen Yan still did not give up. He said: "Officer Qiao, can you please contact Li Jing's family or Li Jingzhong's family for me? I still want to ask them face to face."

"I should have saved Li Jingzhong's phone number, wait for me to find it for you."

As Police Officer Joe said, he put on his reading glasses and began to rummage through his cell phone address book.Qin Kai glanced at the side, and found that a large number of contacts in the old police officer's mobile phone were marked with the words "XX village - XX". It seems that the old police officer Qiao often visited these villages.

Finally, Officer Qiao found Li Jingzhong's phone number, but when he called, he was told that the number had become empty.But this didn't bother everyone, because the police officer Lao Qiao still had the phone numbers of many people in the same village stored in his mobile phone, and some of them would know the current address of Li's family.Sure enough, after a round of phone calls, several people finally asked about the current address of Li Jingzhong's family, which is not too far away from where they are now, so Shen Yan immediately decided to find out about the situation with Li Jingzhong in person.

Li Jingzhong's family lives in a town not far from the original site.The old man is over 70 years old this year, but he seems to be in good spirits.Regarding Li Xuanzhe's life experience, his statement was almost the same as that of Officer Qiao, but when he saw Lee's photo, he frowned slightly.

"Is this what Xuanzhe looks like now?" The old man raised his eyes to look at Shen Yan, and there seemed to be some other emotions in his eyes besides doubts.

"This person should not be. But he and Li Xuanzhe look very similar, so we suspect that there may be a relationship between the two of them."

Hearing this, the old man picked up the photo again, staring at the person in the photo, his expression changed again and again.Qin Kai noticed the change in the old man, and hurriedly asked, "Master, did you remember something?"

The old man didn't speak, but walked back to the room, and walked out with an old photo album after a while.He opened the photo album, and there were some old photos in it, a considerable number of them were black and white photos.The old man rummaged for a while, and finally found the one he was looking for.It was a group photo. The three youths in the photo were all about 20 years old, and they looked quite similar. At first glance, they looked like a group photo of brothers.And Shen Yan noticed at a glance that the appearance of the young man on the far right was almost exactly the same as Lee when he was young.

"Master, is this person...?" Shen Yan pointed to that person and asked Li Jingzhong.

"That's my second brother, Li Jingguo."

"Your brother?!" Everyone was surprised and excited by this answer, but before they could ask, the old man's next sentence made everyone feel down again, "He has been dead for many years..."

Everyone was silent for a moment.Although this answer is not unexpected, but hearing the old man say it with his own ears, his heart is still somewhat confused.

After saying this, the old man also let out a long sigh.

"Master, can you tell us more about Li Jingguo?" Shen Yan asked softly.

The old man sighed, and then slowly opened his mouth: "My second brother was originally the most promising one in our family. Of the three of us, he was the smartest, and he was the best at studying when he was a child. Later, he was admitted to a foreign university. I worked as an engineer at the school in my school. Later, he went abroad to build roads with his unit. As a result, he traveled for six or seven years, and almost never returned home. Even when my father died, he always came back. As a result, the first He came back in the second year, and there was a woman and child with him, who he said was the wife he married. I was a little angry at the time, thinking that you had been away for so many years and would not return home or give any news to the family, but in the end it was I secretly married my wife and gave birth to a child. What does this mean?! We had a quarrel over this matter during Chinese New Year that year, and he moved out with his wife and children. After that, a few years later—probably Only three or four years—he had a car accident while on a business trip, and he was gone. Only my foreign brother and sister were left with two children. I thought they were poor orphans and widows, so I told them to go back with us But she didn't agree. At this time, the third child discovered something, saying that what the second wife told us about her family was all false, and the names and places didn't match. Because the third brother-in-law has been in Thailand He was the one who found out about this while working part-time. The third child was relentless about this matter, saying that this woman was just cheating on marriage and money, and maybe even the child was not my brother's own-in fact, I knew why he was, at that time My mother is not in good health anymore, and is discussing about splitting up the family. The third child was pushed by his wife and wanted to share more... It was also because I was a little selfish at that time, so I discussed with the second wife, saying that I would help them buy a home in the town. They don't want the house, the land at home..."

When Qin Kai heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips—although Li Jingzhong's words were nice, this was actually a typical bullying of orphans and widows.Li Jingzhong also seemed to be ashamed, and couldn't help but sighed when he said this: "Oh, it's just that they were too poor at that time, and my two sons were not up to date, and my wife and the third wife were all around. ..."

"Then what happened next?" Shen Yan asked.I don't know if it's because the old man can't stand to continue to talk about others to justify himself.

"Later, my siblings took their children and left—neither did they want the house in the town, nor did they want the land at home. The third daughter-in-law said that she had seen men running to his house since the death of the second child, saying that she might There have been people there for a long time. During that time, my old lady was in poor health. We were busy with the old lady’s affairs and family separation, so we didn’t take care of them. If we tried to find them later, we couldn’t find them...” Said At this point, the old man sighed deeply, picked up the photo of Lee again, then raised his eyes and asked, "How old is this child?"

"About 30 to 40 years old." Shen Yan replied.

"Jingguo's son should be 37 years old this year, almost..." The old man nodded deliberately, then looked down at the photo, and muttered to himself, "Like, really like..."

Qin Kai and Shen Yan exchanged glances - it seems that Lee is probably Li Jingguo's son.So Shen Yan asked: "Do you still remember the names of Li Jingguo's wife and children?"
