The Underlying Reasons 2 Chapter 9

Hearing Ryan's words, Sean sat up straight: "Really?!"

"Yes." Jiang Rui explained: "Although surgeons' surgical styles are not as distinctive as our writing and painting, they will have some personal styles. You remember I told you before that the incisions of the two of them look very similar. In fact, the suturing techniques of the two of them are even more similar. For example, when suturing one of the fascia, both of them used the same 8-shaped suturing method; and when closing the abdominal cavity, both of them used the rarely used continuous locking method; and the knotting technique, etc. I have studied it with the surgeons of the two victims, and they all think that the two operations are very similar... The only difference is that Yu Jinlong's kidney removal operation was completed more delicately, while Liu Yuxing's was relatively rough."

"But Yu Jinlong's incident should have happened before Liu Yuxing..." Sean frowned: "If it was an improvement in technique, how could the latter be worse than the former?"

"There could be many reasons for this, such as limited surgical conditions, insufficient time and personnel, etc. Didn't we only identify two suspects in Liu Yuxing's case? It is impossible that there were two people who performed Yu Jinlong's surgery."

"They have accomplices?!" Sean was shocked.

"I can assure you that Yu Jinlong's operation was definitely not performed by only two people." Ryan said firmly. "But I just told you that these two cases may not be done by the same person. But judging from the current clues, if you find the murderer of one of them, you should be able to catch the other one."

"Yeah." Sean nodded. He thought for a while, then said, "How about this, Ryan, please ask the doctor when Yu Jinlong can take the statement. I want to ask him again. Besides, the investigation at the hotel is almost finished, so I have to go there when the time comes."

"Yeah, okay. Oh, by the way, I will give the things in Yu Jinlong's body to Jason and his team to see if they can find more clues."

"Okay, I'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Sean picked up the file on the table again. Yu Jinlong's personal investigation has been completed. From the information currently available, this person has no intersection with Liu Yuxing in terms of activities or social circles. If you insist on saying that the two have something in common, probably the only similarity is that they both play online games, but there are so many people playing online games these days, why did the murderer choose them? Also, the murderer's second murder method is rougher than the first one, why is that? How many murderers are there? Are they the same group of people or different ones? ......

Just as Sean was thinking hard, there was a knock on the door, and Jason and Felix walked in.

"How is it going? Any results from the hotel?" Sean asked, putting down the file in his hand.

Felix nodded, but his expression was serious: "Among the more than 140 hotels, there are a total of 6 hotels with bathtubs. They all said that there has been no blood in the bathtub or room in the past three months, and there is no record of Yu Jinlong's stay."

Sean frowned: "Nothing?"

"No." Felix shook his head confidently: "Quentin and I went to all six of these companies and asked everyone from the manager to the cleaner, and they all confirmed that this kind of thing never happened."

Sean's brows were deeply furrowed.

Jason on the side said: "Ryan called me just now and said that Yu Jinlong's surgery was completed. From what he said, it seems that he has made some discoveries?"

Sean repeated what Ryan had just said to Cheng Fang. "......What I don't understand the most is whether these two cases were committed by the same group of people. If so, why are there such big differences between the two cases? If not, why do they have so many similarities?"

"If it was really a gang crime, then it is very likely that there was a disagreement among them." Felix analyzed: "According to Ryan, Yu Jinlong's surgery should have been performed by multiple people, so it is very likely that there was a disagreement among these people afterwards. Some people did not want to do this kind of thing anymore, so they decided to withdraw; while others decided to continue, so when it came to Liu Yuxing, there were only two people left. Because there were fewer people, and it is very likely that the surgeon left, Liu Yuxing's surgery was so poorly done."

Sean nodded. Felix's analysis was very reasonable. He turned to look at Jason, only to see that Jason's brows were also furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked.

"What Felix said just now reminded me of something..." Jason touched his chin and looked at the two men: "Do you think it could be done by a kidney selling gang?"

"Kidney selling gang?!" Felix was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that kidneys without matching are useless?"

"But we don't know whether they have matched or not." Jason glanced at him and emphasized. "We only asked Liu Yuxing whether he sold his kidney, but we didn't ask Yu Jinlong. Think about it, there are only two reasons why the murderer did this: one is that the murderer has a grudge against Yu Jinlong, and the other is that this move is profitable. But Yu Jinlong is a half-grown child, and he is just an apprentice in a hair salon. What enemies could he have? Besides, Ryan also said that there were more than one or two people who performed the operation on him. It is impossible that so many people would have a grudge against him if so many people took such a big risk to remove a kidney from one person? If there is no grudge, then the possibility of money is very high. Judging from his situation, the biggest 'wealth' is probably his kidney. There is another detail. When Yu Jinlong and his father came to report the case that day, did you notice what kind of mobile phone he was holding?"

"Cell phone?" Sean recalled and vaguely remembered that Yu Jinlong seemed to have seen a cell phone once during the recording process, but he had no impression of what the cell phone looked like.

Seeing that the two people couldn't say it, Jason said, "It's the latest iPhone Plus."

Sean immediately thought of the previous case of selling a kidney to buy a mobile phone. Yu Jinlong and his son did not earn that much from their jobs, so how did they buy the mobile phone worth several thousand yuan? Thinking about it this way, Jason's analysis was very likely.

"If that's true, then it explains why we can't find the hotel where the crime happened." Felix also followed Jason's line of thought. "Kidney-selling gangs will have their own surgery locations, and it will never be the hotel that Yu Jinlong said, so Yu Jinlong is lying." Felix suddenly thought of something and continued, "It is estimated that this kid secretly sold his kidneys and was discovered by his father, so he lied to his father that someone had his kidney removed. Good boy, he almost fooled us too."

"This also explains why Yu Jinlong's account of the incident was unclear, because he was making it all up." Sean said, and then suddenly frowned: "So what he said about having seen the female suspect was probably false..."

"That's not necessarily true." Jason said. Seeing Sean looking at him in surprise, he smiled slightly: "Don't forget, Ryan has guaranteed that the two operations are related. How can one person know the characteristics of another person's operation? Also, where did those surgical instruments that we have been unable to find the source come from?"

"It's that gang! The murderer had seen another person perform surgery, and he also stole the gang's surgical instruments. He is an insider of the gang!!" Sean suddenly realized.

Jason nodded: "If our estimate is correct, then Yu Jinlong's case is false, and Liu Yuxing's case is true, but it is precisely this false case that may give us clues to solve the real case."

"So, we should thank the guy who made the false police report." Felix stood up with a smile, "It seems that we need to have another good talk with Yu Jinlong."

Because he had a preliminary idea of ​​the direction of the investigation, the second questioning of Jinlong became very clear. Sean sent Yu Jinlong's father Yu Youhai away on the pretext of something, and then asked Yu Jinlong a few questions that made him reveal many loopholes and sweat profusely, and finally he told the truth.

"Police... Police brother, if I... If I tell you something, can you not tell my dad?..." Yu Jinlong asked timidly.

"Tell me what it is first." Sean said calmly.

Yu Jinlong pursed his lips and struggled for a long time before he said, "Actually...actually I lied before..."

"What lie did you tell?"

"Well...my kidney...wasn't stolen by anyone, I sold it myself..."

Sean and others looked at each other - it was indeed so.

Sean looked at Yu Jinlong and continued calmly: "What is going on? There is no one else around now. Tell us the truth."

Before Yu Jinlong admitted that he lied, he had been looking up to see Sean's reaction. Seeing that he didn't seem angry, he felt a little relieved and spoke more smoothly. "I sold my kidney myself. I played games online and had no money to buy equipment. Later, someone on the Internet said that selling a kidney could make money, and that I could make tens of thousands, so I also wanted to sell my kidney..."

"How do you sell it?"

"I met a guy while playing games online. He said he had sold his kidney. I told him I wanted to sell one, too. He gave me a QQ group number and asked me to join the group, saying he was the one who introduced me. After I joined, a man named De Ge talked to me. He told me to donate blood so that I could know my blood type. After I donated blood, I told De Ge my blood type, and De Ge told me to wait for news. I waited for almost two months, and one day De Ge suddenly talked to me and said he had found someone to buy my kidney. He asked me to wait for him in a place, and then took me to have surgery."

"Where is the surgery location? Who performed the surgery on you?"

Yu Jinlong shook his head: "I don't know. De Ge sent a car to pick me up. The curtains were drawn inside the car, so it was pitch black and I couldn't see outside. I sat in the car for a long time before I got to the destination. When I got out of the car, I found that the car was in the garage. Then they took me upstairs and took me to a room and told me to wait there. I waited until the evening, and someone came to find me and said that the doctor and the person who wanted my kidney had arrived. Then they asked me to change into surgical clothes and pushed me into the operating room. When I went in, I saw a group of doctors waiting there, and the person who wanted my kidney was lying on the bed next to me..."

"Wait a minute!" Ryan, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly interrupted. He walked in front of Yu Jinlong and asked, "Who do you think is lying on the bed next to you?"

"The person who wants my kidney..." Yu Jinlong blinked.

"He's lying there?!"

"Yes," Yu Jinlong answered innocently, "The doctor wants to install his kidney, so of course he has to lie down..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room suddenly became serious. Yu Jinlong thought he had said something wrong, so he shrank his neck and dared not speak.

Sean's expression became more serious, but his voice when he spoke to Yu Jinlong was as steady as before: "It's okay, keep talking."

"Oh..." Yu Jinlong glanced at the other policemen around him, and then continued softly: "Then they asked me to lie down and started to give me anesthesia. I felt a pain in my back, and then I felt sleepy... Later, I seemed to wake up after a while, and heard the doctors say that they were going to put the kidney into that person, and then I fell asleep again... When I woke up again, they told me that the operation was over, and then a man gave me a red envelope of 2,000 yuan..."

"How many people performed the surgery on you?"

"About four or five... I can't remember exactly..."

"The woman you told us you saw last time, is she in there?"

Yu Jinlong shook his head: "They were all wearing masks at the time, so I couldn't see clearly..." At this point, he seemed to feel guilty and explained in a low voice: "I'm sorry, police brother, I lied to you last time... I sold my kidney without telling my father, but it was raining when I went to see my father that day, and my father saw the scar when I was changing clothes. My father asked me what happened, so I had to make up a story to lie to him. But my father insisted on dragging me to the police. I thought that if I went to the police station with him, the matter would be over. I didn't expect that as soon as we said it, they asked us to wait there, and then I heard someone from them make a phone call and said that another kidney was found to be stolen. Only then did I know that someone else had also reported the case. When you showed me the photo, I guessed that she was probably the person you were targeting, and I thought that if I agreed with you, I probably wouldn't wrongly accuse her..."

As he was talking, Yu Jinlong noticed that Sean's face became more and more serious and cold. He could see that Sean was angry, and his voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, he almost curled up on the bed and whispered: "Brother Policeman, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry..."

"Do you know how much your actions will affect our police work?" Sean said seriously, his cold voice no longer gentle. "You made a false report, so our police have to spend a lot of time investigating a case that doesn't exist. We waste time and energy on you, which affects the people who really need help! Moreover, you made up suspects casually. Have you ever thought that your testimony may cause an innocent person to be wronged or even imprisoned?!"

Sean's words made the young man pale and he almost cried: "Brother Police, I know I was wrong! I won't do it again!..."

"Let me ask you, are there any lies in what you said today?" Sean asked with a stern face.

"No, no!" Yu Jinlong shook his head like a rattle. "Brother police, I swear! Everything I said today is true! If I lie again, you can arrest me!"

Seeing that Yu Jinlong's expression was not fake, Sean's anger subsided a little. He looked at the young man and said coldly: "Tell us everything you know about the kidney selling gang."
