SFTD -Chapter 255 Rabies Virus (Part 10)

Wang Zhihua pointed toward a shelf on the far north side. It was stacked with many cardboard boxes. Zhou Hai patted Xu Biao, who immediately walked over. Labels were pasted on the outside of the boxes, bearing the emblem of the Chinese Red Cross. Inside the plastic sleeve beneath them was a thick stack of documents.

Xu Biao pulled out the papers, flipped through them casually, then handed them to Zhou Hai.

“Looks like donation-related paperwork.”

Zhou Hai glanced through them. Sure enough, everything appeared to come through legitimate donation channels. Had his judgment been wrong?

“Open every single box and inspect them carefully. I want to see just how big this hospital’s business really is!”

The last sentence was directed at Wang Zhihua. The man’s back stiffened. He turned toward Zhou Hai, instantly putting on an innocent expression.

“Officer, all of our organs came through legal channels. Every single one has notarized certificates and Red Cross donation documents. That doesn’t count as illegal, does it?”

Zhou Hai shook the papers in his hand at Wang Zhihua, the smile at the corner of his lips widening.

“Don’t provoke me. These documents are only procedural formalities. A cosmetic surgery hospital performing organ transplant operations is already non-compliant.

“I’m sure the price for these transplants is extremely high, right? If you can’t clearly explain the source, then you’re suspected of participating in black-market human organ trafficking. So don’t put on that righteous attitude in front of me. The Lin family ship can’t protect you, and the Lin family itself isn’t something you can protect either. Now tell me about these donation sources. Where can I look up the specific information on this deceased donor?”

Wang Zhihua hurriedly shook his head.

“I don’t know. I really don’t know. We only compiled all the matching requirements and organ specifications needed by Peninsula Hospital and reported them in time. After that, we would receive notifications. As for when they would arrive, where the organs came from, and how they were transported—we knew nothing about any of that.”

Zhou Hai had already expected this and wasn’t anxious. He merely looked at Wang Zhihua.

“I understand that. But I think you’re a smart man. The type of car the delivery people drove, the license plate numbers, and the surveillance footage of their entries and exits—you should have all of that, right?”

Wang Zhihua glanced at Zhou Hai. He knew that unless he said something today, there was no escaping this.

“I recorded it. There’s a videotape in the surveillance room labeled ‘Flowers and Plants.’ It contains the edited clips.”

Just then, Wang Man’s phone rang. After answering, he instructed Xiao Zeng to keep Wang Zhihua under control. Even with only one usable arm, Xiao Zeng could still handle him easily.

Wang Man stepped outside to take the call. Not long later, he returned to the room, grabbed Wang Zhihua by the collar, slammed him against the wall, and roared with bloodshot eyes:

“Think carefully before telling me who you are again!”

Caught completely off guard by the sudden attack, Wang Zhihua raised his cuffed hands and struggled frantically, trying to break free from Wang Man’s grip.

But the difference in strength was overwhelming. He could only fight desperately for a sliver of air. Xiao Zeng and Xu Biao were both stunned, not understanding what had happened. They turned to look at Zhou Hai, who remained perfectly calm.

Zhou Hai made no move to stop Wang Man, which meant he clearly knew the reason for Wang Man’s actions. So neither of them intervened.

The choking restraint lasted three or four minutes.

Then Zhou Hai walked over and patted Wang Man’s arm. Only then did he loosen his grip slightly.

“With so many police officers here, you still thought about running? Running from what?”

Finally able to breathe a little, Wang Zhihua gasped heavily. But after hearing Zhou Hai’s words, he froze and looked up at him blankly.

In an instant, he understood.

The surveillance cameras in the cold storage had all been disabled, so nobody outside knew what had happened in there. Even if bruises or marks appeared on his body, Wang Man’s accusation that he had “tried to run” would explain everything away.

It seemed there truly was no escape today.

But how had they discovered his fake identity?

Could it be…

He abruptly looked at Zhou Hai.

Zhou Hai nodded at him and waved his phone.

“Figured it out? That’s right—your bank card. One man with two identities. Tell me, why is that? Speak up, Mr. Lin Hua.”

Wang Zhihua—or rather, Lin Hua—completely lost his strength and collapsed onto the floor. The moment Zhou Hai called him “Lin Hua,” all his disguises fell away.

Slowly, he lifted his head and looked at the four men.

“My real name is Lin Hua. I was afraid that if problems were traced back to me someday, I’d be exposed. So back in my hometown, I borrowed someone else’s identity information and made another ID card under the name Wang Zhihua. That way, if anything happened, it could shield me once. As for the organ donation information, I truly don’t know. But I do have some transport records.”

As he spoke, he stood up. Wang Man grabbed his collar and dragged him toward the doorway. There was a computer there. Lin Hua typed rapidly for a moment before opening an Excel spreadsheet.

Xu Biao stepped closer and photographed every page.

The spreadsheet contained the organ type, donation location, recipient’s name, illness, location, surgery time, surgeon, transportation time, transporter, remarks, and finally, the handler responsible.

Zhou Hai carefully examined the information. When Lin Hua flipped to the third page, Zhou Hai suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

A recipient from Yantai named Li Jinhui appeared on the screen.

Following the information line by line, they could clearly see:

Organ type: Cornea

Illness: Corneal squamous epithelial cell carcinoma

Donation location: Xuzhou Red Cross (Wan)

Surgery date: May 4, 2015

Transport time: Night of May 3, 2015

In the remarks section was the note: “+100k.”

No explanation was needed. The patient clearly couldn’t wait and had paid an additional expedited fee.

“So this was an extra rush-processing fee?”

“Yes. Expedited processing could be arranged. That way, matching priority would move forward.”

“Then if I wanted to trace all destinations of organs provided by this donor, how would I search for them?”

Zhou Hai pointed at the words “Xuzhou Red Cross (Wan)” and stared at Lin Hua.

Lin Hua fell silent, seemingly thinking.

Zhou Hai glanced at Wang Man and slightly raised an eyebrow.

Wang Man immediately understood.

Apparently, today’s outburst—his violent and irritable behavior—had earned Zhou Hai’s approval.

Without hesitation, he yanked Lin Hua up again by the collar.

“What’s this supposed to mean? Weren’t we talking just fine a moment ago? Now you’ve suddenly lost your memory again? Or are you planning to run again? Then hurry up and run. Run farther this time. Let’s see whether I can still catch you!”

Lin Hua raised his hands and squeezed his eyes shut. After being violently shaken by Wang Man, he felt like every bone in his body was about to fall apart. In terms of strength, he stood no chance at all.

To avoid that terrifying dizziness and suffocating sensation from happening again, he hurriedly spoke.

“I didn’t forget! I didn’t lose my memory! I remembered!”

Only then did Wang Man release his collar.

Freed from the support, Lin Hua nearly collapsed, but he managed to steady himself against the small desk beneath the computer. Then he clicked on the character “Wan” in “Xuzhou Red Cross (Wan).”

A search produced over thirty records.

Lin Hua selected them all and sorted them by time.

Instantly, the order changed.

Zhou Hai looked at the screen. No explanation was needed—it was perfectly clear.

On May 3, 2015 alone, the “Xuzhou Red Cross (Wan)” source had four separate records:

Two corneas

One kidney

One bone marrow sample

As for the shipment destinations, they were scattered among Yantai, Dongnan, and Rizhao, handled by four different people.

But when Zhou Hai saw the application information for the cornea sent to Dongnan, he froze on a particular name.

Could it have just been written casually?
