Chapter 821: Fighting for the Tiger
Lin Xiao's movements were very fast, and early the next morning, the people from the ** department took over the case.
The next situation has also stabilized, after all, this case is actually relatively simple, and the number of people involved is relatively large, but the facts of the case are relatively clear.
Under the preliminary investigation of the officials sent by the ** ministry, they have figured out the operation mode and profit methods of this underground kidney selling group.
Because it is related to the reputation of Li Qiushui's Bishui First Hospital, Lin Xiao is also more concerned about this case.
After his understanding on the phone, he learned that there are more than 20 main members of this gang, these people come from different provinces and cities, and the age is mainly post-80s, among which there are also post-70s or even post-50s, and their occupations are not only company bosses, unemployed people, but also a group of medical personnel involved, both doctors and **, including four medical staff from Bishui First Hospital.
According to the police investigation, this gang committed crimes in many places, keeping nearly 100 donors in captivity, and making illegal profits of more than 3 million yuan.
The police also noticed that among the children of this criminal gang, some people were responsible for soliciting, keeping donors in captivity and performing human kidney removal operations, and some people were responsible for selling the removed kidneys, and this gang has organized members to engage in illegal kidney transplantation activities in many provinces and cities.
When asked about the reasons for their illegal kidney transplant activities, the other party said that some of the suspects had been donors and had their own kidneys or livers removed.
One of the organizers said that he himself suffers from kidney failure and had a kidney transplant earlier, "This kind of disease almost requires more than half a year in the hospital, and the monthly medical expenses are about 5,000 or 6,000 yuan. Due to my poor immunity now, I am easily sick and weak, and I am completely unable to do physical work now, and sometimes I even have to rest for a while in the middle of climbing a staircase. β
Another suspect who had his kidney removed said, "My parents were cheated of money by others earlier, and they owed nearly 300,000 yuan in debt, although there is a younger sister who is four years younger than me at home, but I feel that I am the pillar of the family and must help my parents repay the debt, so I removed my kidney earlier and wanted to exchange some money." Before the operation, I told the other party that it was 100,000 yuan, but in fact I only got 25,000 yuan, of which 5,000 yuan was given by the patient. After that, I felt that my body was not as good as before, and now I can hardly do heavy work. β
Another suspect who had his liver removed also said that he was almost unable to do physical work after the operation, so he originally wanted to make business capital by selling his liver, but after the operation, due to his poor physical condition, he had to close the handicraft store he was operating and follow this group of people to defraud other people's kidneys and make huge profits.
The police also noticed that some of these donors were due to excessive squandering and needed money to fill the funding gap, and most of them were to pay off debts or buy goods to satisfy their own consumption desires.
During the interrogation, the most common word spoken by the suspects was "regret", saying that they did not know the seriousness of the matter until they were arrested, and they knew that they would not be involved in it, while the suspects who had been donors regretted destroying their bodies for a mere tens of thousands of yuan and causing them a lifetime of harm.
After Li Qiushui learned about these situations, he also said with a little emotion, "After reading the confessions of these people, I thought of an idiom. β
βnozuonodieοΌ If you don't die, you won't die? Lin Xiao asked.
"No, it's for the tiger." Li Qiushui shook his head and replied.
"Oh." Lin Xiao nodded.
It is said that in the Changqing period of Tang Muzong, there was a priest Ma Zheng, who heard that there was an elder Fuhu living in Zhurongfeng in Hengshan, who was very famous, so he took a child servant and went up the mountain to visit the elder.
He climbed Zhurong Peak and saw a Buddhist temple, and sure enough, there was an old monk with white hair.
The old monk was very enthusiastic and must leave Ma Zheng to eat, but the oil and salt in the kitchen happened to run out, Ma Zheng asked the child servant to go down the mountain to buy oil and salt, and the old monk accompanied him out of the temple gate, and Ma Zheng stood alone by the temple to enjoy the mountain scenery.
At this time, another hermit named Ma Nua came from the bottom of the mountain.
After the two exchanged names, Ma Nuan said that he saw a tiger eating people halfway up the mountain.
Ma Zheng asked the man's age, appearance, and clothing, and exclaimed, "That's my child servant!" β
Ma Nuan said, "The strange thing is that after the tiger ate the man, he suddenly turned into an old monk with a white beard. β
After a while, the old monk came back, and Ma Nuan whispered to Ma Zheng, "It's this monk." β
It was late, and the old monk wanted to invite them to live in the monk's room, but the two liked to live in the hall.
They bolted the door tightly and watched the movement outside.
In the middle of the night, a tiger came to bang on the door several times, and the two of them resisted it so hard that the door was not knocked open.
Determined to get rid of the man-eating tiger, the two finally come up with a good solution.
Early the next morning, the two said that a strange sound came from a well in the backyard and tricked the old monk to the well. When the old monk came to the mouth of the well to look, Ma Nua pushed him down the well with force.
As soon as the monk fell into the water, he immediately turned into a tiger.
The two brought in a large rock and smashed it to death.
The two got lost on their way down the mountain, but fortunately they met a hunter and stayed in a hut built on a tree for the night.
In the middle of the night, Ma Zheng was suddenly woken up by the sound of people under the tree.
He saw through the moonlight that there were dozens of people, shouting to avenge the tiger.
The hunter told them that they had been eaten by tigers, but when they died, they made way for the tigers and became ghosts.
Ma Zheng scolded, "You ghosts, you died in the mouth of the tiger, and you have to cry and avenge it!" β
According to ancient legends, people who are eaten by tigers will become ghosts after death, and they will also serve the tigers.
Thinking of the members of these kidney-selling syndicates, many of them have sold their kidneys and then turned into suspects in the kidney-selling syndicate, which is indeed the same as what Li Qiushui said about acting for the tiger.
"You're right." Lin Xiao said to Li Qiushui, "If they didn't sell their body organs for the sake of greedy petty profits, and after finding out that they had been victimized, they would not bravely stand up and expose these criminals, but join them, vainly trying to achieve the goal of satisfying their own monetary and material pursuits by harming others, and they would not have ended up where they are today." β
"Yes, there must be something hateful about the poor, and this is true." Li Qiushui said with emotion.
Whoever organizes others to sell human organs in accordance with the provisions of the amendment to the Criminal Law is to be sentenced to up to five years imprisonment and a concurrent fine; where the circumstances are serious, a sentence of five or more years imprisonment and a concurrent fine or confiscation of property is to be given. Whoever removes his or her organs without his consent, or from a person under the age of 18, or compels or deceives others to donate organs, is to be convicted and punished in accordance with articles 234 and 232 of this Law.
But the crimes of this gang obviously do not stop there, at least they tried to kill Li Qiushui, who discovered the problem, and created a highway chase case, which made their crime even heavier.
If it is based on Lin Xiao's intentions, the ringleaders among these people should kill a few people to set an example, otherwise it is not enough to be angry with the people, after all, the existence of these human organ traffickers is indeed a challenge to the entire civilized society.
"According to the current criminal law, the sentence is still too light, and there are too many imperfections." Lin Xiao said.
Lin Xiao always believes that for acts such as human trafficking and human organ trafficking, he should be sentenced heavily, but unfortunately he is not a law-maker and has no say in this regard, so he just thinks about it.
"In fact, in the whole incident, I am most angry about the medical staff who participated in the kidney transplant, these people have lost their basic medical ethics." Li Qiushui's focus is not here, but on those medical staff, "According to the relevant regulations, no organization or individual may buy or sell human organs in any form, and must not engage in activities related to the sale of human organs. Violators will have their illegal gains confiscated and imposed a fine of not less than eight times but not more than ten times the transaction amount, and if they are medical institutions, they will face the penalty of revoking their registration of organ transplant diagnosis and treatment subjects, and they will not be allowed to apply for registration of human organ transplant diagnosis and treatment subjects for three years; Participating medical personnel will also have their practice certificates revoked; State functionaries are even dismissed or dismissed. But in my opinion, this punishment is still too light. β
"Yes, it's just a revocation of a license, dismissal, and expulsion, what kind of punishment is this?" Lin Xiao also nodded in agreement, "Why do I think this is encouraging others to do this in disguise?" At most, it has changed from a public institution to a private institution. Anyway, these people who engage in illegal kidney transplants don't care whether they have a license or not, as long as they have money to earn. β
"Your family is so powerful, haven't you tried to push for it?" Li Qiushui suddenly asked Lin Xiaodao.
"It's not going to be easy." Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "You must know that this involves the interests of many people, although most people have nothing to do with organ transplantation, but you must know that the most popular thing for Chinese people to do is to take precautions." β
"What does this have to do with planning ahead?" Li Qiushui said he was very puzzled.
"Of course it matters, if one day, you encounter an accident and need to get an organ transplant, but the official channels do not allow it, then would you think that when the legislation banned this thing in the first place, it was actually shooting yourself in the foot?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically.
"What you said is really a problem that is not easy to solve...... "Considering the selfish nature of people, Li Qiushui can't help but admit that the situation that Lin Xiao said is indeed the biggest obstacle.
"Human nature, in fact, is like that." Lin Xiao said, "When it doesn't involve one's own interests, anyone can stand on the moral high ground and accuse others, if it involves one's own vital interests, it's hard to say." β
