Chapter 16: Legal Illiteracy

Although we are still waiting for the results of the local police interrogation, we have not stopped investigating them.

The direction of our investigation is to find common ground among the seven of them.

Smoking, is not what they have in common, but they have indeed remitted a large amount of money to Eken's bank account in recent years, ranging from more than 600,000 yuan to more than 700,000 yuan.

This is definitely a lot of money, and even a deposit that many ordinary families have never had. Then the question arises, why do they send so much money to Eken?

Soon, after close attention by the police and an investigation into the social relationships of the seven of them, a suspicious common denominator was soon discovered, that is, all seven of them had a child under the age of five.

Moreover, all seven of them, either husbands or wives, have gone to professional hospitals for infertility treatment, so will it have anything to do with the fact that they send money to Eken?

After a while, Lin Zifan and Xue Hang's investigation team also returned to the criminal police team, and at the same time, they also brought a man back to the criminal police team for investigation.

In addition to Hu Haidong, who we investigated, another respondent who lives in the city.

He is in the logistics business and is a local tyrant. The family has a two-year-old son, and they once remitted a sum of 700,000 yuan to Eken's account three years ago.

This man's name is Shen Binglan, and since he is not a suspect in this case, we did not take him to the interrogation room, but to the interrogation room for investigation.

This inquiry was conducted by Tao Junhao and me.

"Three years ago, why did you remit a sum of 700,000 yuan to the owner of Roasted Whole Sheep Villa?"

In the inquiry room, Tao Junhao went straight to the point and asked.

After Lin Zifan and Xue Hang's door-to-door investigation, Shen Binglan had already learned that he was suspected of illegal acts, so when he came to the criminal police team this time, he was still very cooperative.

"Because I asked him to buy a child." Shen Binglan said lightly.

"Buy a child?!" Tao Junhao frowned, and asked seriously: "Child abduction?!" ”

After the promulgation of the new Civil Code, China's law bears criminal liability for both buyers and sellers in criminal cases related to the abduction and trafficking of women and children.

Shen Binglan shook her head and explained to us: "There is no abduction, it is illegal to buy abducted children, and it is not illegal for me to buy children." ”

After Tao Junhao heard what he said, he sneered and asked very disdainfully: "You don't break the law by buying children, what are you doing?" ”

Shen Binglan was still expressionless, as if she was very confident in her heart, firmly believing that she was not involved in illegal and criminal acts.

"I don't have much, because I didn't buy a child directly, and let someone else give me a baby, the professional term is surrogacy." Shen Binglan became serious and seemed to be giving us popular science.

Hearing his popular science, Tao Junhao and I were a little crying and laughing for a while, who told him that surrogacy is not illegal?!

Surrogacy is a relatively complex issue involving law, ethics and society, according to some international situations, the vast majority of countries and regions are also prohibited from implementing any form of surrogacy, and economic penalties and penalties are imposed on institutions and personnel involved in surrogacy.

In our country, surrogacy has always been strictly prohibited. In 2001, China's former Ministry of Health promulgated the "Measures for the Administration of Human Assisted Reproductive Technology", in which the second paragraph of Article 3 states: "It is forbidden to buy and sell gametes, zygotes, and embryos in any form." Medical institutions and medical personnel are not allowed to practice any form of surrogacy technique. ”

"Tell me, how did you find a surrogate in Eken? He can't give you a baby himself, you tell everything you know. Tao Junhao said seriously.

Then, Shen Binglan told us the whole story of the incident in a very indifferent tone.

It seems that until now, he was not aware of the law he had broken.

"It was about three years ago, almost four years ago, one day, I took my daughter-in-law to a newly opened roasted whole sheep villa for dinner. While chatting with the boss, I accidentally learned that surrogacy is possible.

My daughter-in-law is infertile, and I took her to IVF, but it didn't work. I also considered adoption, but the adoption is not biological after all, and I can't get through this in my heart, so we both feel that surrogacy is reliable.

In fact, surrogacy is not as complicated as you think, and you can use IVF to find a 'surrogate mother' to have a baby.

The owner of Roasted Whole Sheep Villa said that he has channels, it is absolutely formal, and the whole process can be completed in China, but the price is relatively expensive, the price is about 450,000 to 600,000 yuan......

He told me that they could have male and female germ cells and 'surrogate mothers', and all the medical services throughout the process.

During pregnancy, he can buy a lot of nutritional products for the 'surrogate mother', and find a special nanny to take care of daily life, live in a quiet and comfortable room, and ensure all medical examinations during pregnancy.

All 'surrogate mothers' are absolutely healthy, and everything is very suitable for them, whether it is their body, appearance, IQ, age, etc. And they are all out in the name of part-time jobs, arriving at the destination at the beginning of the year to do IVF, and returning home after giving birth at the end of the year, they will not be discovered by anyone, because they are all done voluntarily, so no one will report it.

If the client is a barren group and is unable to provide healthy male and female germ cells, their agency can provide them, and female cells are more expensive than male cells. If you need male cells, you will contact a 'volunteer', and the price varies depending on the volunteer. Some of the volunteers are from 985 University, some are 187 tall, and some are 10 piano grades...... The price ranges from 1 to 30,000 yuan, and this price includes their medical examination fee and round-trip fare.

The blind selection of female cells is 30,000, and the blind selection means that there is no information at all. If you want to meet and have a request, it is 40,000 to 200,000. ”

In our country, surrogacy is against the law and is absolutely prohibited, if you are unable to have children, you can be treated, IVF or adopted.

The price of surrogacy is very expensive, however, the high profits do not go to the hands of the "surrogate mother", and even only a small part, and the rest is all earned by the underground institutions controlled by E.

After listening to Shen Binglan's rambling, I changed my words and immediately asked, "Do you know that E's involvement in D?" ”

To our surprise, Shen Binglan said with a calm attitude towards such a serious illegal issue: "I know, he wants to pull me into the water, but I don't agree, I don't do illegal and criminal things." ”

Hearing this, Tao Junhao and I glanced at each other, because we both thought of a plan - undercover.
