Chapter 106 Asking ghosts for information to investigate the case
Her organs are gone, so where did they go? This is obviously not something that can be done by one or two people. Gu Ye pondered for a while and called Mu Jingfei, “Sister Mu, I seem to have come across an organ trafficking case. But I don’t know how many people are involved, and I don’t know where the organs went. The main point is that I don’t have any evidence.”
If someone else said these words to her, Mu Jingfei would say to that person ‘Why did you call the police if you don’t have evidence?!’ But when Gu Ye said this, Mu Jingfei lost her temper and asked, “Did you see something again?”
“A girl’s organs were removed. I suspect that her death was not natural, but now the body has been burned, and there is no evidence.”
After listening, Mu Jingfei said calmly, “If there is no evidence, search for evidence. What can I do on my side?”
“Sister, this is what I think now. I will check first and provide you with clues at any time. If it is convenient for you, you can help me on your side.”
“Okay, I can officially intervene if there’s evidence.” Mu Jingfei did not forget to remind Gu Ye, “Be careful about your own safety. Don’t go to the scene by yourself. Send someone who can’t be seen by others.”
Gu Ye smiled and agreed, “Don’t worry, I have a plan in my mind. I won’t do risky things. There is one more thing, I want to ask Mu Jingzhuo for help.”
Mu Jingfei immediately sent her brother’s phone number over, “Find him something to do so that he doesn’t go idling all day.”
Gu Ye called Mu Jingzhuo. No one answered the first time. The second time it rang for a long time before answering. Mu Jingzhuo asked impatiently, “Who? I don’t buy insurance or take loans.”
Gu Ye suppressed his laughter and said, “Hello, I’m Gu Ye.”
The person from the other side of the call paused for a moment and suddenly got excited, “Do you want to go out on a date with me?”
Gu Ye automatically filtered out the other party’s flirty talk, and sent a screenshot of Diao Qirong’s photo from the hospital website, “I want to know his information, who he has been in close contact with in the past six months, phone calls, and private emails, all need to be checked.”
When Mu Jingzhuo heard about this kind of thing, he lost interest, “I’m not a private detective. Besides, it’s illegal to check private information privately.”
Gu Ye said seriously, “I got Sister Mu’s approval.”
Mu Jingzhuo yawned, “Then can you go out on a date with me after the check?”
Gu Ye was helpless, “No, I have a partner.”
Mu Jingzhuo said frivolously, “Haven’t you heard of that saying, cheating is sweet?”
Gu Ye’s mouth twitched, “I want to call Sister Mu!”
“Don’t, don’t tell my sister! I won’t make trouble for you!” Mu Jingzhuo turned cowardly in a second. One can imagine how often he got taught a lesson by his sister.
Gu Ye laughed, “Why are you still so frivolous?”
“I’m used to it. I get excited when I see a beautiful person.”
“Okay, you can be frivolous by yourselves. I’m going to sleep. Bye~” Gu Ye hung up the phone, picked up Dahei, who was snoring, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
The next day at lunch, Mu Jingzhuo came to the cafeteria for the first time. Holding a bowl of noodles, he found Gu Ye, who was eating lunch. He said to the boy next to Gu Ye with a straight and expressionless face, “You, move over there.”
A freshman was sitting next to Gu Ye. Hearing this, he quickly moved a seat to the side.
Gu Ye was speechless. No wonder people said he was not a good person. Seriously, is it okay for you to bully children like this?
Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang looked at Gu Ye in confusion. Who is this guy?
Gu Ye gestured for them to eat first, and they would talk after eating.
Mu Jingzhuo didn’t say anything. He finished his bowl of noodles, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Gu Ye quietly for a few seconds. Then he said seriously, “I found you are weird today.”
Gu Ye raised his eyebrows in confusion, “What’s weird?”
Mu Jingzhuo smiled, “Weirdly good-looking.”
Zhao Pengyu raised his eyebrows and sneered, “He’s taken, don’t you know?”
Gu Ye took a deep breath and resisted the urge to hit someone, “Stop making trouble. Let’s talk about business, this is a big deal.”
Mu Jingzhuo didn’t get to flirt with Gu Ye, and asked disappointedly, “Do you want to talk about it here?”
At the moment, there are not many people around; only Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang can hear it. Gu Ye snatched a bottle of ice soda from Zhao Pengyu and calmed himself down, “Speak, there are no outsiders.”
Mu Jingzhuo’s mouth curved up, and his eyes were full of excitement. “Awesome, Diao Qirong is the nominal vice dean of the affiliated hospital of Peking University of Medicine, and has a close relationship with the dean. He is the lover of this dean.”
Gu Ye was stunned, “Whoa, that exciting?”
Mu Jingzhuo continued excitedly, “I’ll show you the emails in his mailbox.” He sent a part of the screenshot to Gu Ye, “This dean has a family. Her husband is a rich man, but the relationship between the couple is not very good, and the husband has several mistresses. Diao Qirong took the opportunity to get along with the dean, and since he has really good medical skills, she promoted him.”
Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang were also listening attentively. It was so exciting!
“There’s something even more exciting. The dean is pregnant, and the child is Diao Qirong’s. She took maternity leave half a year ago. This hospital is actually controlled by Diao Qirong.”
“How thrilling!” But Gu Ye was more concerned about other things, “Have you found any text related to organs?”
Mu Jingzhuo’s expression turned cold, and he said unhappily, “No.”
“How could there be no text? You hacked his computer, hacked his phone, and hacked everything you could.”
“Really, there’s no text. I even found his deleted emails, and there was no text related to organs at all.”
“Such a clean record? He is so careful, it seems that he is a veteran.” Gu Ye drank juice, squinted his eyes, and thought about it, “But I also got useful information. At least I know that he has great power in that hospital. It is entirely possible that he could remove Kong Shuya’s organs during the operation.”
After thanking Mu Jingzhuo and rejecting his date request again, Gu Ye decided to go to the hospital again. The hospital is a door that crosses life and death, where yin and yang intersect. Life is born here but ends here as well, so the aura is mixed and chaotic. Ghosts even dare to come out here during the day. Maybe there was a ghost in the hospital that day and happened to see the crime process.
However, Gu Ye didn’t want to go alone, so he called Xie Cheng, “Brother, do you want to go to the hospital to explore tonight?”
“Hahaha! Finally, this day comes when a ruthless person like you actually calls for help!” Xie Cheng was so amused and asked, “Tell me, did you encounter a particularly difficult case?”
Gu Ye waited for the other party to finish laughing, and said helplessly, “It’s a bit difficult, so I don’t want to be alone. I’m afraid of death.”
Xie Cheng smiled and said, “You know how powerful I am. I can’t do anything else, but my martial arts value is awesome!”
Gu Ye waited for the other party to finish showing off, and slowly complained, “But you can’t beat Qingyi during the day, and you can’t beat Brother Ghost at night. I asked you to go just to keep me company.”
Hearing that, Xie Cheng was speechless, “You, you win! Wait for me to pick you up on my little motorcycle that never gets stuck in traffic!”
Gu Ye hooked his lips, “Okay. If you ever need to go somewhere far away, I’ll lend you my car.”
Xie Cheng refused awkwardly, “No, I can’t afford to repair it if it breaks.”
That night, the two went to the hospital together. Gu Ye and Xie Cheng sat by the flower pond, and with a stick of soul-summoning incense, they summoned hundreds of little ghosts to sit by the flower pond and chat together.
Showing the ghosts Kong Shuya’s photo, Gu Ye asked, “Has anyone seen this girl in this hospital a month ago?”
“She’s a pretty girl. Her eyes are big and pretty.”
“This girl is pretty. Is she your girlfriend?”
“Oh! Is this girl dead too? I saw her floating out before.”
Finally hearing useful information, Xie Cheng locked onto the person who said this at a glance, “Uncle, when did you see her? Where did she float out?”
The old man looked up and thought seriously, “About a month ago, Old Wang and I were strolling in the corridor, and it seemed that this girl, with big eyes, floated out of that building.”
Gu Ye looked at the building, “The surgery was done there. Uncle, did you go in to see it?”
“We don’t like going to that building; they open people’s stomachs every day.” The old man shook his head in disgust and didn’t know what happened later.
Gu Ye held up the photo and asked again, “Who else saw this girl? Did anyone see how she died?”
At this moment, a child’s voice was finally heard at the outermost edge of the circle of the ghosts, and he said weakly, “I think I saw it.”
Xie Cheng pulled the little ghost to the front and took out a piece of candy from his pocket. Then he said with a smile, “Little friend, what did you see? I’ll give you candy after you tell me.”
The little ghost held the candy and said, “At that time, I saw a doctor take something out of her stomach and put it in a box.”
“No, not that. I saw it too. It was put in another person’s body. The thing was still jumping.” A little girl interrupted crisply, “I really saw it, and my mother saw it too.”
Hearing that, Gu Ye looked over and saw a mother and daughter standing in the crowd. The woman nodded at him, indicating that the child was right.
“The heart was given straight to another person at that time?” Xie Cheng frowned and said with an unpleasant face, “This means the surgery was prepared in advance. The girl’s car accident may not be just an accident.”
Gu Ye nodded, “They should have been eyeing her for a long time.” He found Diao Qirong’s photo and asked the little girl, “Is he the doctor who took things out of this sister’s stomach?”
The children all nodded, “Those glasses, yeah, it’s him.”
An old lady said, “That night, after the girl was pushed into the morgue, I saw several doctors carrying boxes out of the operating room. This doctor,” she pointed to Diao Qirong’s photo, “took a box and went to his office.”
The information caused Gu Ye’s eyes to light up. That is to say, Diao Qirong once brought the organs to the office. That means they could find any clues there?
No matter how much Gu Ye asked after that, he couldn’t get anything new. Gu Ye thanked these enthusiastic ghosts and let them leave. One thing can be confirmed: Kong Shuya’s organs were indeed taken away, and the heart was given to another person at that time. Who that person is and how the person got in, they still have to find out.
Gu Ye simply created a small chat group and pulled in Xie Cheng and Mu Jingfei. Then he pulled in Mu Jingzhuo and asked: [Can you hack into the surveillance system?]
Mu Jingzhuo saw his sister in the group, and said seriously: [Sure, I’ll find it for you on which day you want it.]
The result of the investigation was that there was a problem with the entire hospital’s network that day. The surveillance equipment could not be used, and there was no video recording.
Gu Ye and Xie Cheng found a park to sit down, each eating a popsicle, and both wanted to curse. They knew what happened, but they couldn’t produce evidence, and they were slightly worried.
The next morning, He Bin went to Kong Shuya’s home to see her parents. The two old people had not recovered from the pain of losing their daughter. Her mother fell ill in bed and could only start getting out of bed and walking in the past 2 days. She was in her early fifties, but she looked like an old person in her twilight years. Kong Shuya’s father, although he did not collapse, had most of his hair white.
He Bin put down all the things he bought and looked at the two old people in silence.
Kong Shuya’s mother looked at He Bin, feeling even worse, “Don’t come here again in the future. Forget about Xiao Ya. You are a good child, you can find someone better in the future.”
Hearing that, He Bin’s breath was choked, “Auntie, don’t say that.”
“We who are alive have to face reality. Xiao Ya is unlucky and couldn’t enjoy life with you.”
He Bin’s face was gloomy, “Auntie, can I take a few of Xiao Ya’s things that she used when she was alive? I will keep them as a memory.”
Kong Shuya’s mother sighed and said helplessly, “Alas! This silly child. You can go to her room to find it. Her room hasn’t been cleaned up yet. Take whatever you want.”
He Bin came to Kong Shuya’s room, looked at the place where his lover had lived before, and took a deep breath. He touched the table used by his lover with trembling hands and the bed where his lover had slept. Her voice and smile were still vivid in his mind, but their happiness was frozen at the moment when the car accident occurred. Seeing the photo of his lover, He Bin finally couldn’t help it and held the photo in his arms. The cold touch made his heart twist and ache.
Seeing this, Kong Shuya’s parents shook their heads helplessly. Kong Shuya’s father patted He Bin’s shoulder and said, “We plan to burn all these things. Don’t come here in the future. Forget her quickly. You are still young and can meet someone better.”
“Uncle,” He Bin asked with red eyes, “Have you ever thought that Xiao Ya’s death was not an accident?”
“I heard that you went to the hospital to make trouble. How could her uncle hurt her? We have all thought it through. This is fate. We have tried our best, but she couldn’t be saved. What can we do?” As she spoke, Kong Shuya’s mother cried, “Fate, it’s fate.”
Kong Shuya’s father also advised, “Don’t make trouble in the future. We are all relatives. How could he think to kill his niece? His family was poor before, and we helped him.”
“That’s right, he couldn’t afford to go to school before. His father was a gambler, and his mother borrowed money from others every day to raise tuition for him. We also lent him money. Don’t make a fuss. We are all relatives. It’s not good for on the outside if the relationship gets sour from this.”
“He is in the rising period of his career now. Don’t affect his reputation.”
He Bin looked at the parents who lost their beloved daughter. He couldn’t bear to let them suffer anymore. He nodded slowly and said nothing more.
After returning home, He Bin charged Kong Shuya’s mobile phone. He turned it on again and looked at the chat records of the two on the phone. He read them in a reverse chronological order, bit by bit. The more he read about the sweet daily life in the past, the more bitter he felt. He kept reading until the afternoon, lying in the same position without moving.
Kong Shuya likes traveling, photography, and selfies. He Bin watched every photo and video taken by her on her phone. As he watched, he found something unusual. It seemed that the same man appeared in several pictures. A few photos might be a coincidence, but how could there be such a coincidence to see him repeatedly in a handful of photos? The tourist attractions are not in the same city to start with.
He Bin sat up in surprise and watched the videos again. After comparing them, he found that he was not mistaken. A burst of anger suddenly emerged in his heart, and he immediately realized that his lover’s death was not an accident!
He Bin messaged Gu Ye and asked: [Master Gu, what did you find out? I suspect Xiao Ya’s death was not an accident. Someone really wanted to kill her. I found that someone has been monitoring her.]
Gu Ye only had one class in the afternoon. So just after his class ended, He Bin sent a screenshot and circled a person in the rearview mirror of the car with a red circle: [This person is the one who hit us and the one who monitored Xiao Ya. The car accident was not an accident! Xiao Ya was killed. I want to call the police!]
Earlier, Gu Ye was worried about not having evidence. Now the evidence was delivered to his door. He replied: [Call the police and say that the car accident was not an accident. Don’t say anything else for now.]
After He Bin finished talking to Gu Ye, he dialed 110. Before he could press the button, there was a knock on the door. He Bin frowned and asked, “Who is it?”
The person outside the door said sullenly, “Xiao Ya’s brother, I heard that you went to her house to get her things today. I have something to give you.”
Hearing that, He Bin hurried to open the door and saw a man wearing a mask standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment. He had seen Xiao Ya’s brother before, and he could tell that it was not him, even with a mask. Before He Bin could react, a handkerchief covered his face. He fell down weakly, and the phone fell out of his hand.
The man picked up He Bin’s phone and saw that the 110 number on it had not been dialed yet, and he was obviously relieved. He put on gloves and clicked on He Bin’s WeChat to check, before saying, “Check who this Master Gu is.”
Little did that man know that all this was seen by Kong Shuya, who was following He Bin. Seeing her lover being taken out of the house and thrown into the car, her empty and dull eyes kept flickering. It wasn’t until He Bin was dragged away that Kong Shuya’s stunned expression changed. She held her head and screamed piercingly, “AHHHH!!”
The remaining consciousness, after receiving a huge shock from seeing her boyfriend being kidnapped, actually began to recover.
