6 o'clock in the morning.
The Office of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch.
After fighting all night, He Junchao has basically figured out Ye Wenqi's basic rules.
Especially in the past week, Ye Wenqi's main social context.
He Junchao discovered that although Ye Wenqi worked for a medium-sized media company, Ye Wenqi was an idler in the company.
Although he is a department manager, he is not busy at work.
So the wages are not good either.
But for such a low-paying job, Ye Wenqi can be generous in various occasions, which seems to be very problematic.
For example, in the mouths of bald Xu Jun and Zhou Ye, it seems that Ye Wenqi is a local rich man.
Not only did he become a shareholder of Xu Jun's financial leather bag company, but he also made a big deal out of Zhou Ye.
The debts owed by Zhou Ye are basically covered by Ye Wenqi, so Zhou Ye's work for Ye Wenqi is also determined.
A large part of the reason was because Ye Wenqi had money.
But as Gu Chen asked He Junchao to conduct an in-depth investigation, He Junchao felt more and more unbelievable. It seemed that Ye Wenqi's background was bottomless.
6:20 in the morning.
Gu Chen woke up from the folding bed in the office.
At this moment, He Junchao was also sleeping soundly at his desk.
It has become the normal work of the criminal investigation team to work continuously when encountering a case.
Gu Chen walked up to He Junchao, bowed down, and checked He Junchao's investigation records.
The click of the mouse quickly awakened He Junchao like a conditioned reflex.
Turning around, Gu Chen was already standing beside him.
"Senior Brother He, didn't I bother you?" Gu Chen kept staring at the computer screen and muttered involuntarily.
He Junchao grinned, yawned, rubbed his confused eyes, and said indifferently:
"It's okay, I've already found out for you what you want, this Ye Wenqi really has a big problem."
"Ye Wenqi's family background is actually not rich, and he didn't invest in other industries. His parents are ordinary retired workers, but he is working as a manager of an ordinary media company, and his money is quite generous. Don't you think it's very Is there a problem?"
"There is indeed a problem." Gu Chen moved a seat, sat next to He Junchao, and said analytically:
"Ye Wenqi's work doesn't have many bright spots, but he has frequent close contact with this international charity fund. Could it be that Ye Wenqi got all his money from this international charity fund?"
"It's very possible." He Junchao took Gu Chen's mouse, continued to click on the other hidden files of the investigation, and pointed them to Gu Chen:
"Look, these are all my investigations on Ye Wenqi. He visits the Jiangnan City office of the International Public Welfare Fund once or twice a week, which is too frequent."
"Furthermore, this international public welfare fund's office in Jiangnan City is staffed by foreigners."
"This is very consistent with Zhou Ye's account. Zhou Ye said that Ye Wenqi has frequent contacts with some foreigners. I guess it is these people."
"Troy Medical Charity Fund?" Gu Chen couldn't help but read out.
"That's right, it's the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund. I took a look at it. This international public welfare fund is a public welfare fund jointly established by a well-known foreign doctor named Troy and our domestic entrepreneur named Zhu Zhiqiang. .”
"At first, it was initiated and established by Troy, and then with the efforts of Zhu Zhiqiang, it gradually began to have a certain influence in China."
Hearing that Gu Chen was communicating with He Junchao, Lu Weiwei, who was gradually waking up, patted Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang, signaling them to hurry over.
Several people immediately got together and began to analyze the results of the investigation.
"He Junchao, keep talking." Lu Weiwei yawned.
He Junchao nodded silently, and continued to introduce:
"I've checked. The Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund has no problem with its organizational framework, but it just doesn't raise much money."
"Its medical public welfare fund does not have a great influence overseas, but its goal is very ambitious."
As soon as He Junchao finished speaking here, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but read along based on the documents investigated by He Junchao:
"Dedicated to helping people in need of medical assistance all over the world, solving the problem of medical expenses, and providing transnational medical treatment..."
After staring blankly, Police Officer Wang looked up at everyone and said, "This is an international medical public welfare fund with little influence. The goal is quite ambitious, and it is also a transnational medical treatment?"
"I see that this organization was initiated in the United States. So many people in their own country need help, and it is too busy to do business across the country? Are you still setting up an office here?"
"It's not that simple." Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head: "Many public welfare funds, although they use the name of 'public welfare', actually there are also some peddlers."
"That's right, I feel very strange." Yuan Shasha couldn't help crossing her arms, and said in a suspicious tone:
"This public welfare fund can do as many things as it can, and many of them are doing business in their own countries."
"Only those foundations with considerable international influence will start so-called global business."
"However, such internationally influential charitable foundations are generally charitable sponsors like the United Nations."
Glancing at the introduction of the public welfare fund on the computer screen, Yuan Shasha couldn't help shaking her head: "But look at the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund, and it doesn't raise much public welfare funds."
"Especially in our country, there are almost no fundraising projects, but we frequently help some domestic families who need medical treatment but cannot afford it due to medical burden to go abroad for treatment."
"And... the ones receiving help and treatment are all teenagers." Gu Chen also added.
Lu Weiwei immediately echoed: "That's right, there seems to be an age requirement, and only young people are accepted to go abroad for treatment, and they also promise to provide homestay abroad, and they can also study abroad while receiving treatment abroad, and the expenses will be borne by public welfare funds. "
With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei couldn't help feeling: "It feels like a pie falling from the sky."
"It's not that simple." Police Officer Wang shook his head, and said involuntarily, "There are never pies in the sky, but traps. In my opinion, this so-called Troy Medical Charity Fund must be tricky."
Gu Chen suddenly stood up straight, crossed his arms and hugged his chest, thinking and said:
"Whether there is a problem with this public welfare fund, I think there is. Moreover, as an ordinary person, Ye Wenqi can accumulate a lot of wealth when his salary is not good. Where did he get all this money?"
"Or, all his money comes from this charity fund?"
"But since this public welfare fund is to help young people in our country go abroad for treatment and study, it should be non-profit."
"But since it's non-profit, why did this public welfare fund give Ye Wenqi a lot of money?"
"Also, if it is a non-profit organization, then in order to save daily expenses, this public welfare fund should directly recruit some local people to work in the local office."
"And why arrange some foreigners, or nationals from the country where the public welfare fund was launched, to work here? This does not seem to meet the requirements of the public welfare fund to reduce personnel."
Gu Chen's discussion instantly made everyone hesitate.
According to common sense, most of the staff of public welfare funds are volunteers, or there are some special responsible personnel.
Volunteers may be given a certain amount of cash subsidies, and staff are also paid a certain amount of wages.
But this applies to some of the more influential charitable funds.
But take a look at the offices of this public welfare fund in Jiangnan City. There are only three foreigners.
If it is said that it is to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of the previous organization, it seems to be a bit of a past.
However, this public welfare fund has an office in Jiangnan City for several years, but it has been operated by several foreigners for several years.
This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the normal operation of public welfare funds.
It looks more like he is afraid that outsiders will know some inside information.
"The office of this public welfare fund must be tricky." Lu Weiwei also said a little uneasy: "Think about it, in terms of staffing, there is a problem."
"All of them are foreigners working in the organization in charge of the office, and these foreigners often go out with Ye Wenqi to have fun."
"Since it is a public welfare organization, it is basically not for profit. Moreover, this public welfare fund is in China, and the funds that can be raised are quite limited. Basically, there is no announcement on the date of fundraising on the website."
"There are only a few photos of activities that help domestic teenagers go abroad for medical treatment. This is obviously a bit of an understatement."
"That's right." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen couldn't help but say:
"And according to Brother He's investigation, Ye Wenqi goes to the office of this charity fund once or twice a week."
"But Ye Wenqi doesn't seem to have any position in this organization. The business card he gave me is just a business manager of the media company."
"Then why did he and his wife go to Nanling to plant trees? Is it really for his dead daughter?" Yuan Shasha also expressed her own opinion.
In Yuan Shasha's view, Ye Wenqi's behavior was indeed too confusing.
After all, Ye Wenqi and his wife are also doing some charity work.
However, Gu Chen recalled that during the interrogation of Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye had mentioned that Ye Wenqi had kidnapped a woman a few years ago, and then moved quickly.
Therefore, I feel that Ye Wenqi is not a good person at all.
But what is the purpose of planting trees for public welfare?
After thinking about it again and again, Gu Chen speculated, "Perhaps participating in charity tree planting is just to convince others that he is a good father."
"But I always believe that things are not that simple."
"Junior Brother Gu." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei suggested, "Aren't there photos on this website of teenagers helped by their charity fund going abroad for treatment?"
"Based on these people, we can investigate the families who have gone abroad for treatment to see what's going on with them?"
"Good idea." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen also grinned: "That's what I mean too."
"Since Ye Juanjuan passed away a few years ago, there is no way to know her experience abroad from Ye Juanjuan, and Hu Fanzhen seems to be deliberately concealing certain things."
"We might as well learn something about it from other teens who have been in supportive care."
Glancing at He Junchao, Gu Chen also urged, "Senior Brother He, see if you can find some families of teenagers who are receiving help from the information of these people, and contact them."
"Wait a minute." He Junchao intercepted some rescuers' avatars from the public welfare fund's website activities, and began to perform face matching within the system.
Since all the rescued have relevant photos, it is not difficult for He Junchao to find them.
After only a short while, the information of a young man suddenly appeared in the information database.
"Find one." He Junchao retrieved one of the messages and introduced it to everyone:
"This man's name is Xu Jiahao. Two years ago, because of a heart problem, he received assistance from this public welfare fund and went to the United States for treatment and study."
"Is there any other news about Xu Jiahao?" Gu Chen asked again.
He Junchao hesitated for a moment, and said: "At present, there is only this news, and the website update of this public welfare fund is only two years ago. It seems that no one maintains it later, so it has not been updated."
"What about the contact information?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"It's in our Jiangnan City." He Junchao continued to retrieve the information records, and said, "It's in Xujia Village, Daqiao Town."
"Is there a contact number?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"No." He Junchao said helplessly.
Gu Chen held his chin, walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said involuntarily: "It seems that we have to go and arrange this Xu Jiahao's family, and see how this person is now?"
"If we can learn something about Xu Jiahao's situation in the United States from Xu Jiahao, then maybe we can also know something about Ye Juanjuan's situation there."
"It would be great if that's the case." Officer Wang also punched his left palm with his right fist, and couldn't help but said happily:
"The Ye Wenqi couple, as well as Ye Wentao, continue to let Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe keep an eye on them, and report to us immediately if there is any trouble."
"The most important thing for us now is to go to Xu Jiahao's place to inquire about the situation. We must find out what is going on behind this charity fund."
"Agreed." Gu Chen echoed.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha looked at each other and nodded slightly in agreement.
...
...
7 am.
After enjoying breakfast, everyone hurriedly drove to Daqiao Town, planning to pay a visit to Xu Jiahao's family and ask about Xu Jiahao's situation.
Daqiao Town is located at the southwest end of Jiangnan City, which belongs to the border area with brother cities.
This is also a hilly area, and Daqiao Town is also named after an ancient bridge with a history of hundreds of years.
According to the address given by He Junchao, Gu Chen continued to drive towards Xujia Village after arriving at Daqiao Town.
When I came to Xujia Village, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.
"Should it be here?" Looking at the somewhat quaint village, Lu Weiwei felt that this place was simply a piece of pure land.
Officer Wang lowered the window of the car, poked his head out to observe, and then confirmed and said: "That's right, on the road that came just now, the road sign is here."
"Then get out of the car and have a look." Yuan Shasha said.
Several people got out of the car one after another, and the sound of closing the door was one after another.
At this moment, an old lady was washing vegetables by a clear river at the entrance of the village.
There are a few little milk dogs around, wagging their tails constantly.
Seeing a stranger visiting, one of the little milk dogs couldn't help barking a few times in the direction of Gu Chen and the others.
The movement also made the old lady notice that someone was coming, so she slowly raised her head and glanced in the direction of Gu Chen and the others.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were all wearing police uniforms, the old lady couldn't help being taken aback. She tried her best to prop up her body and stood by the river to observe.
"Old lady, does Xu Jiahao live here?" Gu Chen asked standing by the small bridge.
"That's right, why are you looking for Xu Jiahao?" The old lady asked curiously.
"We have something to ask him, can you take us to his house?" Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side and quickly explained.
The old lady was a little puzzled, and after thinking for a while, she slowly said: "I am Xu Jiahao's grandma."
"You... are you his grandma?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Police Officer Wang beside her.
Police officer Wang took a step forward, and hurriedly said, "So it's Xu Jiahao's grandma. Do you know what's going on with your grandson? He's still studying abroad, right?"
As if she had asked about the old woman's sadness, the old woman's nose was sore, and she choked up and said, "What exactly are you looking for him for?"
Seeing that the old lady seemed to be a little emotional, Gu Chen looked at everyone, and also took the initiative to walk down the small bridge and came to the old lady, and then said politely:
"It's like this. We are investigating a case recently. This case is related to a woman, and this woman once received help from an international public welfare fund to study abroad."
"And according to our investigation, we found that your grandson Xu Jiahao also received help from this charity fund to go abroad for medical treatment and study."
"So, I came here today to find out about your grandson Xu Jiahao's situation abroad, how much do you know about him?"
"My grandson...is dead."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the old lady let out a long sigh and couldn't help explaining.
"Dead... dead?" Hearing the old lady's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help being taken aback, and hurried to the old lady, asking emotionally:
"Old lady, how did your grandson Xu Jiahao die?"
"Car accident." With a heavy sigh, the old lady said helplessly:
"My grandson was in a car accident abroad, and he just disappeared. The public welfare foundation over there helped to cremate my grandson's body locally, and then asked someone to bring it back to China."
valley
With a sob, the old lady seemed to have not thought of her grandson's sadness for a long time.
But now that it is mentioned by Gu Chen and the others, it seems that sad memories of the past suddenly come to mind.
The old lady suddenly had a sore nose, and couldn't help wiping the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with the back of her rough hand.
The little milk dogs around seemed to notice the sadness of their master, so they couldn't help "beeping" a few times, wagging their tails, and gathered around their master to comfort them.
Gu Chen and the others were suddenly a little embarrassed.
It's just that I didn't expect that things were far beyond everyone's expectations.
But looking back, it seemed that everyone was alerted again.
After all, Ye Wenqi's daughter, Ye Juanjuan, died of illness suddenly at home in China after receiving treatment abroad.
But now, Xu Jiahao, who was also receiving medical treatment abroad, also passed away in a car accident.
But Xu Jiahao's accident took place abroad.
The deaths of the two may seem coincidental, but they also seem reasonable.
One was due to a relapse of an old illness, while the other was due to an accidental car accident.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also asked earnestly: "Old lady, can you tell us about your grandson's situation abroad?"
The old lady hesitated for a few seconds, but still nodded and said, "Okay, then come with me."
Turning around, the old lady was about to put the washed vegetables into the basket.
But Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately started to help the old lady fill it up.
After packing up the vegetables, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also helped the old lady carry the vegetables home.
A group of people walked through the small road at the entrance of the village and came to an old house.
Although the old house is old, the walls have been repainted, which looks very similar to the color of some surrounding buildings.
In the new rural construction, although there are some unified new buildings, many old houses have also been completely preserved.
Pushing open the wooden door, the old lady invited everyone to come in and sit down, then poured tea for a few of them, and holding a plastic bag, grabbed a handful of salted peanuts for each of them.
Entertaining guests in the countryside is so simple and unpretentious, sharing the best things.
Lu Weiwei was originally a foodie, but now she has become reserved.
It was only after symbolically eating a salted peanut that we started to get down to business.
"Old lady, why did your grandson go abroad for medical treatment?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It's because of...a heart problem." The old lady sat on a bamboo chair opposite the crowd, and said slowly:
"Jiahao's heart has always been not very good, and he is often hospitalized, but we can't afford the high medical expenses. The family's savings are all used for treatment, so take a look..."
Pointing to the surrounding environment, the old lady also said unwillingly: "The neighbors around have all lived in new houses, but our family basically still lives in the old house because of treating Jiahao's illness."
"Then how did you know that there is a medical public welfare fund that can treat your grandson Xu Jiahao abroad?" Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at the old lady and asked her curiously.
The old lady sighed faintly, and said helplessly: "I don't know the details, I just remember my son told me that when Jiahao was in the hospital, someone suddenly gave him a business card."
"I said that I am a public welfare fund, which specializes in helping patients who need information, but young people who can hardly afford medical expenses, go abroad for treatment."
After a pause, the old lady continued to think about it and said: "I remember, they seem to say so."
"And this kind of treatment is long-term. Therefore, in order not to delay the children's studies, they can even contact the host families abroad, and they can also contact the local public schools to arrange for my grandson to study in public schools in the United States."
Taking a deep breath, the old lady was also quite emotional: "Think about it, my grandson is in China, and the treatment costs are a lot of money."
"But when you go abroad, they provide you with food and accommodation, treatment, and arrange for you to study abroad. This is similar to studying abroad. It's very good when you think about it."
"So, my son and daughter-in-law agreed to their invitation without even thinking about it."
"I just talked about it with me when I came back. I didn't want to agree to it. After all, I'm going abroad, and my grandson can only go there alone. I feel that the child won't take care of me when I'm abroad."
With a faint sigh, the old lady couldn't help but wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and said helplessly, "But there is no way, if you don't go abroad for treatment, the treatment fee will be a huge expense."
"Our family has never studied much, and we can't make much money, but if we can get free treatment, we can still study abroad."
"This kind of condition is really good when you think about it, so after our family discussed it repeatedly, I can only agree in the end."
"So, two years ago, your grandson Xu Jiahao went to the United States, received active funding from this charity, and has been receiving treatment there for free, right?"
"Yes." The old lady nodded silently and said involuntarily.
"Then has your grandson ever come back?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.
The old lady shook her head: "The air ticket back home is too expensive, and our family can't afford it."
"And it was also said there that they are only responsible for the air ticket to the United States, and all the expenses for board, lodging, study and treatment there."
"But if the child wants to go home halfway, the air ticket to go home will be borne by the child's family."
"I thought about it, halfway through the treatment, I have to come back halfway, and then go back again. The round-trip air ticket is too expensive, and I really can't afford it."
"So, simply let the child continue to receive treatment there, and it will not be too late to come back when he is in college."
Gu Chen recorded these on the record, and then asked: "Then you can only communicate through video calls, right?"
"Yes." The old lady nodded.
"Then does he usually talk to you about things abroad?" Gu Chen asked again.
The old lady thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes, I will. When I first went there, my grandson felt that everything was very new, because the grandson's English is also relatively good, so it is not a big problem to communicate with the children there. "
"At the beginning of the period, he called us and told us that he was doing well there, and he was enjoying many high-quality treatment services and physical examinations..."
Listening to the old lady's eloquence, while Gu Chen was recording, he suddenly interrupted:
"Old lady, what you're talking about is the situation when your grandson Xu Jiahao just went there. What about after that? When he called you later, did he have any emotional fluctuations?"
"Emotionally?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, the old lady scratched the back of her head and thought about it instantly.
Lu Weiwei also hurriedly agreed: "It's that kind. I was very happy before, but then I suddenly became a little depressed, or a little unhappy. Think about it carefully."
"Eh? It seems a bit." Reminded by Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen, the old lady frowned immediately, and said in thought:
"I remember that when he talked to us for the first time, he felt very happy, but later, he spoke for a short time each time, just as a routine, and reported to us the latest situation."
"How long does it take?" Gu Chen asked.
The old lady scratched her cheeks and thought about it repeatedly: "The first time, I remember chatting with us for half an hour, as if there were many things I wanted to share with us."
"But half a month later, we only received the second call, and then he would contact us every week, but the call time was long, like two or three minutes."
"I feel like my grandson Xu Jiahao doesn't have anything to talk to us about."
"I asked him if he was doing well there? He said it was good. Anyway, it was just a question and an answer, and it felt like a mechanical answer."
With a faint sigh, the old lady was also quite helpless, and couldn't help but said with emotion: "It may be the colorful world over there, which opened the children's eyes."
"After all, if you go to a developed country like the United States, they are more advanced than us in many things."
"So, it takes time for children to integrate into the life there."
"It's also possible that there are a lot of friends there, and it's understandable that we don't have many topics with us."
"Old lady." Seeing that the old lady was depressed, Gu Chen continued to remind:
"During your grandson Xu Jiahao's treatment there, when he was talking to you, did he feel particularly depressed? Or, when he was talking to you, was there anyone else around him?"
"Uh... this..."
Hearing Gu Chen's question, the old lady looked up at the ceiling, trying to remember.
It seems that she didn't pay too much attention, and she is getting older and her memory is not very good, so the old lady's reaction speed is relatively slow.
But Lu Weiwei said comfortingly: "Old lady, don't worry, speak slowly."
"It seems... It seems to be once, remember whether it was once or twice, anyway, I feel that my grandson's mood does not seem to be very happy, even a little depressed."
Sighing softly, the old lady continued to think back: "At that time, he seemed to be very sad, and there seemed to be a foreigner beside him, anyway, he was sitting on the side."
"I also asked him, who is that person? He seemed to say that he was from a medical institution, or that he was from a public welfare foundation. Anyway, I don't remember clearly."
"At that time, I thought he was being bullied, so I asked a few more questions, but he didn't say anything, just chatted with me a few words, and hung up the video directly, so..."
At the end of the talk, the old lady was also very frustrated, and said in a bad mood: "What is the situation of the grandson abroad? We don't know it here."
"But then one day, maybe a week after the call, suddenly one day, my son received a call from abroad, saying that my grandson had a car accident there, and the whereabouts of the driver was unknown. My grandson... my grandson Died instantly."
Speaking of this, the old lady seemed to be unable to hide the grief and indignation in her heart, she burst into tears instantly, wiped her tears with the back of her rough hand, and said with a sob:
"He was hit by a car with another girl who was going there for treatment."
"It's still a public welfare fund abroad. It helped us arrange the funeral. After our consent, it helped my son book a ticket and went there to deal with the aftermath."
With a heavy sigh, the old lady was also quite helpless: "I originally went there to receive treatment and study, but I didn't expect that my grandson died in the end."
"I didn't even see my grandson for the last time, he was cremated right there."
"When I saw my grandson again, he had already been put into an urn. Why is my life so miserable..."
The old lady said at the end, and burst into tears.
It seemed that everyone reminded her of her sad past, which made it difficult for the old lady to hide her sadness for a while.
Everyone was quite embarrassed for a while.
Unexpectedly, originally I just came to investigate Xu Jiahao's experience abroad, but it made the old lady cry.
Yuan Shasha also hurriedly took out a tissue, handed it to the old lady, and said, "Old lady, you... don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, your condolences..."
Although Yuan Shasha tried her best to comfort the old lady, the old lady seemed unable to hold back her emotions and could not stop crying at all.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen also called Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei out of the house.
The three came to the door of the old house.
Gu Chen also expressed his own opinion: "I think the matter is too strange. First of all, this so-called international medical institution looks irregular."
"What's more, including Ye Juanjuan who went abroad for treatment before, Xu Jiahao later, and another woman who went abroad for treatment, all passed away in the end."
"Ye Juanjuan died at home in China, while Xu Jiahao and another woman died in a car accident abroad."
"Why is this? Why is this the end result?"
Gu Chen also couldn't understand that it was originally an international medical charity, but in the end these participants all passed away one after another.
Although everyone's situation is different, the result is the same, it's hard to avoid Gu Chen's doubts.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help but said, "Junior Brother Gu, Lao Wang, tell me, these people who participated in the treatment are abroad, will they be controlled by others?"
"And behind this public welfare fund, will there be other organizations manipulating it? I always feel that there is something tricky about it."
"I also agree with this statement." Officer Wang walked back and forth twice, and said involuntarily:
"I always feel that there is a special purpose behind this organization. They don't care about so many poor people in their own country who need medical assistance, but they come to care about the patients in our country. This is very abnormal."
"Moreover, this medical public welfare fund does not seem to be very famous. If these capital countries, if they are not motivated by any interests, will they send those people from their own country to work here? Isn't it true that we recruit local people to serve us? Better and more cost-effective?"
"Ye Wenqi, they should be regarded as local recruits, at least I think so." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen answered directly.
"I agree." Lu Weiwei quickly agreed.
The three of them quickly reached an agreement at the door, that is, there seems to be some unknown secret hidden behind this public welfare fund.
At least according to the current situation, Ye Wenqi had the experience of being kidnapped, but where did the kidnapped woman go in the end? There is no word yet.
And it happened a few years ago, which is very intriguing.
"No, we must thoroughly investigate the office of this public welfare fund. We must find out what these people are doing?"
Officer Wang walked back and forth in front of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and couldn't help but say.
Afterwards, several people pooled 600 yuan and left it to Xu Jiahao's grandma, and then everyone rushed to the city without stopping.
On the way, Police Officer Wang started calling Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe to close the net.
Bring Ye Wenqi and his wife, as well as Ye Wentao, who are under surveillance, back to the police station for interrogation.
At the same time, the police officers of the criminal investigation team were notified to go to the office of the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund in Jiangnan City, seal up the office of this institution, and control the relevant personnel.
These people are going to be taken back to the Furong Sub-bureau for interrogation.
When they came to the Furong branch, Gu Chen did not immediately interrogate these people, but called Hu Fanzhen, who had already had enough sleep, to interrogation room No. 1 again.
...
...
In interrogation room No. 1, Hu Fanzhen sat blankly on the interrogation chair, looking at Gu Chen and the others with blank eyes.
Gu Chen and the others briefly looked at each other for more than 20 seconds.
Hu Fanzhen seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too quiet and weird, so he couldn't help asking first, "Officer Gu, what are you guys trying to do?"
"It's not what we want to do? It's what you need to tell us?" Gu Chen said.
"Like..."
"For example, how many secrets do you know? About Ye Juanjuan, Ye Juanjuan's parents, and...the Troy Medical Foundation."
As if Hu Fanzhen had been touched by a certain nerve, Hu Fanzhen's eyes trembled slightly, and then he sighed unwillingly:
"What are you asking these for? How would I know?"
"Your relationship with Ye Juanjuan, don't we need to talk about it? You admit it yourself, the two of you talk about everything." Lu Weiwei looked up at Hu Fanzhen who was unwilling to cooperate, and continued:
"Besides, the two of you should have talked about many secrets, such as the code words like donkey rolling."
"Tell me, only you and Ye Juanjuan know the secret about donkey rolling."
"And after we verified it, we did find out that Ye Juanjuan has a certain relationship with Jiangbei Food Donkey Rolling."
"Like..."
Looking at Hu Fanzhen with dull eyes in front of her, Lu Weiwei also continued: "For example, Ye Juanjuan actually doesn't like eating donkey rolls at all, but she told you that this kind of dim sum is her favorite."
"Obviously, some of you, for example, are lying."
"And Ye Juanjuan's parents also know that Ye Juanjuan doesn't like donkey rolling, so they will be surprised when you bring donkey rolling food and say it was Ye Juanjuan's favorite food when she was alive."
"And this just proves what you mentioned to us, Ye Juanjuan's previous statement, that is, if Ye Juanjuan's parents showed a surprised look when you sent the donkey to roll, it means that she died wronged, right? ?”
Lu Weiwei seemed to have a good memory, and almost recounted all the situations that Hu Fanzhen had said before.
Now that the pressure is on Hu Fanzhen's side, I feel that the police are well prepared this time.
From the gazes of several policemen in front of him, Hu Fan really felt that what they knew or understood seemed to be far more than that.
After all, what was said before was commonplace, but now, after one night, it seems that there are some thick documents on the desks of Gu Chen and the others.
Hu Fan, who is good at observing words and demeanor, really knows that these people seem to want to use themselves to get the desired results from themselves.
...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
6 o'clock in the morning.
The Office of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch.
After fighting all night, He Junchao has basically figured out Ye Wenqi's basic rules.
Especially in the past week, Ye Wenqi's main social context.
He Junchao discovered that although Ye Wenqi worked for a medium-sized media company, Ye Wenqi was an idler in the company.
Although he is a department manager, he is not busy at work.
So the wages are not good either.
But for such a low-paying job, Ye Wenqi can be generous in various occasions, which seems to be very problematic.
For example, in the mouths of bald Xu Jun and Zhou Ye, it seems that Ye Wenqi is a local rich man.
Not only did he become a shareholder of Xu Jun's financial leather bag company, but he also made a big deal out of Zhou Ye.
The debts owed by Zhou Ye are basically covered by Ye Wenqi, so Zhou Ye's work for Ye Wenqi is also determined.
A large part of the reason was because Ye Wenqi had money.
But as Gu Chen asked He Junchao to conduct an in-depth investigation, He Junchao felt more and more unbelievable. It seemed that Ye Wenqi's background was bottomless.
6:20 in the morning.
Gu Chen woke up from the folding bed in the office.
At this moment, He Junchao was also sleeping soundly at his desk.
It has become the normal work of the criminal investigation team to work continuously when encountering a case.
Gu Chen walked up to He Junchao, bowed down, and checked He Junchao's investigation records.
The click of the mouse quickly awakened He Junchao like a conditioned reflex.
Turning around, Gu Chen was already standing beside him.
"Senior Brother He, didn't I bother you?" Gu Chen kept staring at the computer screen and muttered involuntarily.
He Junchao grinned, yawned, rubbed his confused eyes, and said indifferently:
"It's okay, I've already found out for you what you want, this Ye Wenqi really has a big problem."
"Ye Wenqi's family background is actually not rich, and he didn't invest in other industries. His parents are ordinary retired workers, but he is working as a manager of an ordinary media company, and his money is quite generous. Don't you think it's very Is there a problem?"
"There is indeed a problem." Gu Chen moved a seat, sat next to He Junchao, and said analytically:
"Ye Wenqi's work doesn't have many bright spots, but he has frequent close contact with this international charity fund. Could it be that Ye Wenqi got all his money from this international charity fund?"
"It's very possible." He Junchao took Gu Chen's mouse, continued to click on the other hidden files of the investigation, and pointed them to Gu Chen:
"Look, these are all my investigations on Ye Wenqi. He visits the Jiangnan City office of the International Public Welfare Fund once or twice a week, which is too frequent."
"Furthermore, this international public welfare fund's office in Jiangnan City is staffed by foreigners."
"This is very consistent with Zhou Ye's account. Zhou Ye said that Ye Wenqi has frequent contacts with some foreigners. I guess it is these people."
"Troy Medical Charity Fund?" Gu Chen couldn't help but read out.
"That's right, it's the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund. I took a look at it. This international public welfare fund is a public welfare fund jointly established by a well-known foreign doctor named Troy and our domestic entrepreneur named Zhu Zhiqiang. .”
"At first, it was initiated and established by Troy, and then with the efforts of Zhu Zhiqiang, it gradually began to have a certain influence in China."
Hearing that Gu Chen was communicating with He Junchao, Lu Weiwei, who was gradually waking up, patted Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang, signaling them to hurry over.
Several people immediately got together and began to analyze the results of the investigation.
"He Junchao, keep talking." Lu Weiwei yawned.
He Junchao nodded silently, and continued to introduce:
"I've checked. The Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund has no problem with its organizational framework, but it just doesn't raise much money."
"Its medical public welfare fund does not have a great influence overseas, but its goal is very ambitious."
As soon as He Junchao finished speaking here, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but read along based on the documents investigated by He Junchao:
"Dedicated to helping people in need of medical assistance all over the world, solving the problem of medical expenses, and providing transnational medical treatment..."
After staring blankly, Police Officer Wang looked up at everyone and said, "This is an international medical public welfare fund with little influence. The goal is quite ambitious, and it is also a transnational medical treatment?"
"I see that this organization was initiated in the United States. So many people in their own country need help, and it is too busy to do business across the country? Are you still setting up an office here?"
"It's not that simple." Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head: "Many public welfare funds, although they use the name of 'public welfare', actually there are also some peddlers."
"That's right, I feel very strange." Yuan Shasha couldn't help crossing her arms, and said in a suspicious tone:
"This public welfare fund can do as many things as it can, and many of them are doing business in their own countries."
"Only those foundations with considerable international influence will start so-called global business."
"However, such internationally influential charitable foundations are generally charitable sponsors like the United Nations."
Glancing at the introduction of the public welfare fund on the computer screen, Yuan Shasha couldn't help shaking her head: "But look at the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund, and it doesn't raise much public welfare funds."
"Especially in our country, there are almost no fundraising projects, but we frequently help some domestic families who need medical treatment but cannot afford it due to medical burden to go abroad for treatment."
"And... the ones receiving help and treatment are all teenagers." Gu Chen also added.
Lu Weiwei immediately echoed: "That's right, there seems to be an age requirement, and only young people are accepted to go abroad for treatment, and they also promise to provide homestay abroad, and they can also study abroad while receiving treatment abroad, and the expenses will be borne by public welfare funds. "
With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei couldn't help feeling: "It feels like a pie falling from the sky."
"It's not that simple." Police Officer Wang shook his head, and said involuntarily, "There are never pies in the sky, but traps. In my opinion, this so-called Troy Medical Charity Fund must be tricky."
Gu Chen suddenly stood up straight, crossed his arms and hugged his chest, thinking and said:
"Whether there is a problem with this public welfare fund, I think there is. Moreover, as an ordinary person, Ye Wenqi can accumulate a lot of wealth when his salary is not good. Where did he get all this money?"
"Or, all his money comes from this charity fund?"
"But since this public welfare fund is to help young people in our country go abroad for treatment and study, it should be non-profit."
"But since it's non-profit, why did this public welfare fund give Ye Wenqi a lot of money?"
"Also, if it is a non-profit organization, then in order to save daily expenses, this public welfare fund should directly recruit some local people to work in the local office."
"And why arrange some foreigners, or nationals from the country where the public welfare fund was launched, to work here? This does not seem to meet the requirements of the public welfare fund to reduce personnel."
Gu Chen's discussion instantly made everyone hesitate.
According to common sense, most of the staff of public welfare funds are volunteers, or there are some special responsible personnel.
Volunteers may be given a certain amount of cash subsidies, and staff are also paid a certain amount of wages.
But this applies to some of the more influential charitable funds.
But take a look at the offices of this public welfare fund in Jiangnan City. There are only three foreigners.
If it is said that it is to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of the previous organization, it seems to be a bit of a past.
However, this public welfare fund has an office in Jiangnan City for several years, but it has been operated by several foreigners for several years.
This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the normal operation of public welfare funds.
It looks more like he is afraid that outsiders will know some inside information.
"The office of this public welfare fund must be tricky." Lu Weiwei also said a little uneasy: "Think about it, in terms of staffing, there is a problem."
"All of them are foreigners working in the organization in charge of the office, and these foreigners often go out with Ye Wenqi to have fun."
"Since it is a public welfare organization, it is basically not for profit. Moreover, this public welfare fund is in China, and the funds that can be raised are quite limited. Basically, there is no announcement on the date of fundraising on the website."
"There are only a few photos of activities that help domestic teenagers go abroad for medical treatment. This is obviously a bit of an understatement."
"That's right." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen couldn't help but say:
"And according to Brother He's investigation, Ye Wenqi goes to the office of this charity fund once or twice a week."
"But Ye Wenqi doesn't seem to have any position in this organization. The business card he gave me is just a business manager of the media company."
"Then why did he and his wife go to Nanling to plant trees? Is it really for his dead daughter?" Yuan Shasha also expressed her own opinion.
In Yuan Shasha's view, Ye Wenqi's behavior was indeed too confusing.
After all, Ye Wenqi and his wife are also doing some charity work.
However, Gu Chen recalled that during the interrogation of Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye had mentioned that Ye Wenqi had kidnapped a woman a few years ago, and then moved quickly.
Therefore, I feel that Ye Wenqi is not a good person at all.
But what is the purpose of planting trees for public welfare?
After thinking about it again and again, Gu Chen speculated, "Perhaps participating in charity tree planting is just to convince others that he is a good father."
"But I always believe that things are not that simple."
"Junior Brother Gu." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei suggested, "Aren't there photos on this website of teenagers helped by their charity fund going abroad for treatment?"
"Based on these people, we can investigate the families who have gone abroad for treatment to see what's going on with them?"
"Good idea." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen also grinned: "That's what I mean too."
"Since Ye Juanjuan passed away a few years ago, there is no way to know her experience abroad from Ye Juanjuan, and Hu Fanzhen seems to be deliberately concealing certain things."
"We might as well learn something about it from other teens who have been in supportive care."
Glancing at He Junchao, Gu Chen also urged, "Senior Brother He, see if you can find some families of teenagers who are receiving help from the information of these people, and contact them."
"Wait a minute." He Junchao intercepted some rescuers' avatars from the public welfare fund's website activities, and began to perform face matching within the system.
Since all the rescued have relevant photos, it is not difficult for He Junchao to find them.
After only a short while, the information of a young man suddenly appeared in the information database.
"Find one." He Junchao retrieved one of the messages and introduced it to everyone:
"This man's name is Xu Jiahao. Two years ago, because of a heart problem, he received assistance from this public welfare fund and went to the United States for treatment and study."
"Is there any other news about Xu Jiahao?" Gu Chen asked again.
He Junchao hesitated for a moment, and said: "At present, there is only this news, and the website update of this public welfare fund is only two years ago. It seems that no one maintains it later, so it has not been updated."
"What about the contact information?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"It's in our Jiangnan City." He Junchao continued to retrieve the information records, and said, "It's in Xujia Village, Daqiao Town."
"Is there a contact number?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"No." He Junchao said helplessly.
Gu Chen held his chin, walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said involuntarily: "It seems that we have to go and arrange this Xu Jiahao's family, and see how this person is now?"
"If we can learn something about Xu Jiahao's situation in the United States from Xu Jiahao, then maybe we can also know something about Ye Juanjuan's situation there."
"It would be great if that's the case." Officer Wang also punched his left palm with his right fist, and couldn't help but said happily:
"The Ye Wenqi couple, as well as Ye Wentao, continue to let Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe keep an eye on them, and report to us immediately if there is any trouble."
"The most important thing for us now is to go to Xu Jiahao's place to inquire about the situation. We must find out what is going on behind this charity fund."
"Agreed." Gu Chen echoed.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha looked at each other and nodded slightly in agreement.
...
...
7 am.
After enjoying breakfast, everyone hurriedly drove to Daqiao Town, planning to pay a visit to Xu Jiahao's family and ask about Xu Jiahao's situation.
Daqiao Town is located at the southwest end of Jiangnan City, which belongs to the border area with brother cities.
This is also a hilly area, and Daqiao Town is also named after an ancient bridge with a history of hundreds of years.
According to the address given by He Junchao, Gu Chen continued to drive towards Xujia Village after arriving at Daqiao Town.
When I came to Xujia Village, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.
"Should it be here?" Looking at the somewhat quaint village, Lu Weiwei felt that this place was simply a piece of pure land.
Officer Wang lowered the window of the car, poked his head out to observe, and then confirmed and said: "That's right, on the road that came just now, the road sign is here."
"Then get out of the car and have a look." Yuan Shasha said.
Several people got out of the car one after another, and the sound of closing the door was one after another.
At this moment, an old lady was washing vegetables by a clear river at the entrance of the village.
There are a few little milk dogs around, wagging their tails constantly.
Seeing a stranger visiting, one of the little milk dogs couldn't help barking a few times in the direction of Gu Chen and the others.
The movement also made the old lady notice that someone was coming, so she slowly raised her head and glanced in the direction of Gu Chen and the others.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were all wearing police uniforms, the old lady couldn't help being taken aback. She tried her best to prop up her body and stood by the river to observe.
"Old lady, does Xu Jiahao live here?" Gu Chen asked standing by the small bridge.
"That's right, why are you looking for Xu Jiahao?" The old lady asked curiously.
"We have something to ask him, can you take us to his house?" Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side and quickly explained.
The old lady was a little puzzled, and after thinking for a while, she slowly said: "I am Xu Jiahao's grandma."
"You... are you his grandma?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Police Officer Wang beside her.
Police officer Wang took a step forward, and hurriedly said, "So it's Xu Jiahao's grandma. Do you know what's going on with your grandson? He's still studying abroad, right?"
As if she had asked about the old woman's sadness, the old woman's nose was sore, and she choked up and said, "What exactly are you looking for him for?"
Seeing that the old lady seemed to be a little emotional, Gu Chen looked at everyone, and also took the initiative to walk down the small bridge and came to the old lady, and then said politely:
"It's like this. We are investigating a case recently. This case is related to a woman, and this woman once received help from an international public welfare fund to study abroad."
"And according to our investigation, we found that your grandson Xu Jiahao also received help from this charity fund to go abroad for medical treatment and study."
"So, I came here today to find out about your grandson Xu Jiahao's situation abroad, how much do you know about him?"
"My grandson...is dead."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the old lady let out a long sigh and couldn't help explaining.
"Dead... dead?" Hearing the old lady's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help being taken aback, and hurried to the old lady, asking emotionally:
"Old lady, how did your grandson Xu Jiahao die?"
"Car accident." With a heavy sigh, the old lady said helplessly:
"My grandson was in a car accident abroad, and he just disappeared. The public welfare foundation over there helped to cremate my grandson's body locally, and then asked someone to bring it back to China."
valley
With a sob, the old lady seemed to have not thought of her grandson's sadness for a long time.
But now that it is mentioned by Gu Chen and the others, it seems that sad memories of the past suddenly come to mind.
The old lady suddenly had a sore nose, and couldn't help wiping the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with the back of her rough hand.
The little milk dogs around seemed to notice the sadness of their master, so they couldn't help "beeping" a few times, wagging their tails, and gathered around their master to comfort them.
Gu Chen and the others were suddenly a little embarrassed.
It's just that I didn't expect that things were far beyond everyone's expectations.
But looking back, it seemed that everyone was alerted again.
After all, Ye Wenqi's daughter, Ye Juanjuan, died of illness suddenly at home in China after receiving treatment abroad.
But now, Xu Jiahao, who was also receiving medical treatment abroad, also passed away in a car accident.
But Xu Jiahao's accident took place abroad.
The deaths of the two may seem coincidental, but they also seem reasonable.
One was due to a relapse of an old illness, while the other was due to an accidental car accident.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also asked earnestly: "Old lady, can you tell us about your grandson's situation abroad?"
The old lady hesitated for a few seconds, but still nodded and said, "Okay, then come with me."
Turning around, the old lady was about to put the washed vegetables into the basket.
But Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately started to help the old lady fill it up.
After packing up the vegetables, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also helped the old lady carry the vegetables home.
A group of people walked through the small road at the entrance of the village and came to an old house.
Although the old house is old, the walls have been repainted, which looks very similar to the color of some surrounding buildings.
In the new rural construction, although there are some unified new buildings, many old houses have also been completely preserved.
Pushing open the wooden door, the old lady invited everyone to come in and sit down, then poured tea for a few of them, and holding a plastic bag, grabbed a handful of salted peanuts for each of them.
Entertaining guests in the countryside is so simple and unpretentious, sharing the best things.
Lu Weiwei was originally a foodie, but now she has become reserved.
It was only after symbolically eating a salted peanut that we started to get down to business.
"Old lady, why did your grandson go abroad for medical treatment?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It's because of...a heart problem." The old lady sat on a bamboo chair opposite the crowd, and said slowly:
"Jiahao's heart has always been not very good, and he is often hospitalized, but we can't afford the high medical expenses. The family's savings are all used for treatment, so take a look..."
Pointing to the surrounding environment, the old lady also said unwillingly: "The neighbors around have all lived in new houses, but our family basically still lives in the old house because of treating Jiahao's illness."
"Then how did you know that there is a medical public welfare fund that can treat your grandson Xu Jiahao abroad?" Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at the old lady and asked her curiously.
The old lady sighed faintly, and said helplessly: "I don't know the details, I just remember my son told me that when Jiahao was in the hospital, someone suddenly gave him a business card."
"I said that I am a public welfare fund, which specializes in helping patients who need information, but young people who can hardly afford medical expenses, go abroad for treatment."
After a pause, the old lady continued to think about it and said: "I remember, they seem to say so."
"And this kind of treatment is long-term. Therefore, in order not to delay the children's studies, they can even contact the host families abroad, and they can also contact the local public schools to arrange for my grandson to study in public schools in the United States."
Taking a deep breath, the old lady was also quite emotional: "Think about it, my grandson is in China, and the treatment costs are a lot of money."
"But when you go abroad, they provide you with food and accommodation, treatment, and arrange for you to study abroad. This is similar to studying abroad. It's very good when you think about it."
"So, my son and daughter-in-law agreed to their invitation without even thinking about it."
"I just talked about it with me when I came back. I didn't want to agree to it. After all, I'm going abroad, and my grandson can only go there alone. I feel that the child won't take care of me when I'm abroad."
With a faint sigh, the old lady couldn't help but wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and said helplessly, "But there is no way, if you don't go abroad for treatment, the treatment fee will be a huge expense."
"Our family has never studied much, and we can't make much money, but if we can get free treatment, we can still study abroad."
"This kind of condition is really good when you think about it, so after our family discussed it repeatedly, I can only agree in the end."
"So, two years ago, your grandson Xu Jiahao went to the United States, received active funding from this charity, and has been receiving treatment there for free, right?"
"Yes." The old lady nodded silently and said involuntarily.
"Then has your grandson ever come back?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked.
The old lady shook her head: "The air ticket back home is too expensive, and our family can't afford it."
"And it was also said there that they are only responsible for the air ticket to the United States, and all the expenses for board, lodging, study and treatment there."
"But if the child wants to go home halfway, the air ticket to go home will be borne by the child's family."
"I thought about it, halfway through the treatment, I have to come back halfway, and then go back again. The round-trip air ticket is too expensive, and I really can't afford it."
"So, simply let the child continue to receive treatment there, and it will not be too late to come back when he is in college."
Gu Chen recorded these on the record, and then asked: "Then you can only communicate through video calls, right?"
"Yes." The old lady nodded.
"Then does he usually talk to you about things abroad?" Gu Chen asked again.
The old lady thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes, I will. When I first went there, my grandson felt that everything was very new, because the grandson's English is also relatively good, so it is not a big problem to communicate with the children there. "
"At the beginning of the period, he called us and told us that he was doing well there, and he was enjoying many high-quality treatment services and physical examinations..."
Listening to the old lady's eloquence, while Gu Chen was recording, he suddenly interrupted:
"Old lady, what you're talking about is the situation when your grandson Xu Jiahao just went there. What about after that? When he called you later, did he have any emotional fluctuations?"
"Emotionally?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, the old lady scratched the back of her head and thought about it instantly.
Lu Weiwei also hurriedly agreed: "It's that kind. I was very happy before, but then I suddenly became a little depressed, or a little unhappy. Think about it carefully."
"Eh? It seems a bit." Reminded by Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen, the old lady frowned immediately, and said in thought:
"I remember that when he talked to us for the first time, he felt very happy, but later, he spoke for a short time each time, just as a routine, and reported to us the latest situation."
"How long does it take?" Gu Chen asked.
The old lady scratched her cheeks and thought about it repeatedly: "The first time, I remember chatting with us for half an hour, as if there were many things I wanted to share with us."
"But half a month later, we only received the second call, and then he would contact us every week, but the call time was long, like two or three minutes."
"I feel like my grandson Xu Jiahao doesn't have anything to talk to us about."
"I asked him if he was doing well there? He said it was good. Anyway, it was just a question and an answer, and it felt like a mechanical answer."
With a faint sigh, the old lady was also quite helpless, and couldn't help but said with emotion: "It may be the colorful world over there, which opened the children's eyes."
"After all, if you go to a developed country like the United States, they are more advanced than us in many things."
"So, it takes time for children to integrate into the life there."
"It's also possible that there are a lot of friends there, and it's understandable that we don't have many topics with us."
"Old lady." Seeing that the old lady was depressed, Gu Chen continued to remind:
"During your grandson Xu Jiahao's treatment there, when he was talking to you, did he feel particularly depressed? Or, when he was talking to you, was there anyone else around him?"
"Uh... this..."
Hearing Gu Chen's question, the old lady looked up at the ceiling, trying to remember.
It seems that she didn't pay too much attention, and she is getting older and her memory is not very good, so the old lady's reaction speed is relatively slow.
But Lu Weiwei said comfortingly: "Old lady, don't worry, speak slowly."
"It seems... It seems to be once, remember whether it was once or twice, anyway, I feel that my grandson's mood does not seem to be very happy, even a little depressed."
Sighing softly, the old lady continued to think back: "At that time, he seemed to be very sad, and there seemed to be a foreigner beside him, anyway, he was sitting on the side."
"I also asked him, who is that person? He seemed to say that he was from a medical institution, or that he was from a public welfare foundation. Anyway, I don't remember clearly."
"At that time, I thought he was being bullied, so I asked a few more questions, but he didn't say anything, just chatted with me a few words, and hung up the video directly, so..."
At the end of the talk, the old lady was also very frustrated, and said in a bad mood: "What is the situation of the grandson abroad? We don't know it here."
"But then one day, maybe a week after the call, suddenly one day, my son received a call from abroad, saying that my grandson had a car accident there, and the whereabouts of the driver was unknown. My grandson... my grandson Died instantly."
Speaking of this, the old lady seemed to be unable to hide the grief and indignation in her heart, she burst into tears instantly, wiped her tears with the back of her rough hand, and said with a sob:
"He was hit by a car with another girl who was going there for treatment."
"It's still a public welfare fund abroad. It helped us arrange the funeral. After our consent, it helped my son book a ticket and went there to deal with the aftermath."
With a heavy sigh, the old lady was also quite helpless: "I originally went there to receive treatment and study, but I didn't expect that my grandson died in the end."
"I didn't even see my grandson for the last time, he was cremated right there."
"When I saw my grandson again, he had already been put into an urn. Why is my life so miserable..."
The old lady said at the end, and burst into tears.
It seemed that everyone reminded her of her sad past, which made it difficult for the old lady to hide her sadness for a while.
Everyone was quite embarrassed for a while.
Unexpectedly, originally I just came to investigate Xu Jiahao's experience abroad, but it made the old lady cry.
Yuan Shasha also hurriedly took out a tissue, handed it to the old lady, and said, "Old lady, you... don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, your condolences..."
Although Yuan Shasha tried her best to comfort the old lady, the old lady seemed unable to hold back her emotions and could not stop crying at all.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen also called Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei out of the house.
The three came to the door of the old house.
Gu Chen also expressed his own opinion: "I think the matter is too strange. First of all, this so-called international medical institution looks irregular."
"What's more, including Ye Juanjuan who went abroad for treatment before, Xu Jiahao later, and another woman who went abroad for treatment, all passed away in the end."
"Ye Juanjuan died at home in China, while Xu Jiahao and another woman died in a car accident abroad."
"Why is this? Why is this the end result?"
Gu Chen also couldn't understand that it was originally an international medical charity, but in the end these participants all passed away one after another.
Although everyone's situation is different, the result is the same, it's hard to avoid Gu Chen's doubts.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help but said, "Junior Brother Gu, Lao Wang, tell me, these people who participated in the treatment are abroad, will they be controlled by others?"
"And behind this public welfare fund, will there be other organizations manipulating it? I always feel that there is something tricky about it."
"I also agree with this statement." Officer Wang walked back and forth twice, and said involuntarily:
"I always feel that there is a special purpose behind this organization. They don't care about so many poor people in their own country who need medical assistance, but they come to care about the patients in our country. This is very abnormal."
"Moreover, this medical public welfare fund does not seem to be very famous. If these capital countries, if they are not motivated by any interests, will they send those people from their own country to work here? Isn't it true that we recruit local people to serve us? Better and more cost-effective?"
"Ye Wenqi, they should be regarded as local recruits, at least I think so." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen answered directly.
"I agree." Lu Weiwei quickly agreed.
The three of them quickly reached an agreement at the door, that is, there seems to be some unknown secret hidden behind this public welfare fund.
At least according to the current situation, Ye Wenqi had the experience of being kidnapped, but where did the kidnapped woman go in the end? There is no word yet.
And it happened a few years ago, which is very intriguing.
"No, we must thoroughly investigate the office of this public welfare fund. We must find out what these people are doing?"
Officer Wang walked back and forth in front of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and couldn't help but say.
Afterwards, several people pooled 600 yuan and left it to Xu Jiahao's grandma, and then everyone rushed to the city without stopping.
On the way, Police Officer Wang started calling Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe to close the net.
Bring Ye Wenqi and his wife, as well as Ye Wentao, who are under surveillance, back to the police station for interrogation.
At the same time, the police officers of the criminal investigation team were notified to go to the office of the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund in Jiangnan City, seal up the office of this institution, and control the relevant personnel.
These people are going to be taken back to the Furong Sub-bureau for interrogation.
When they came to the Furong branch, Gu Chen did not immediately interrogate these people, but called Hu Fanzhen, who had already had enough sleep, to interrogation room No. 1 again.

In interrogation room No. 1, Hu Fanzhen sat blankly on the interrogation chair, looking at Gu Chen and the others with blank eyes.
Gu Chen and the others briefly looked at each other for more than 20 seconds.
Hu Fanzhen seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too quiet and weird, so he couldn't help asking first, "Officer Gu, what are you guys trying to do?"
"It's not what we want to do? It's what you need to tell us?" Gu Chen said.
"Like..."
"For example, how many secrets do you know? About Ye Juanjuan, Ye Juanjuan's parents, and...the Troy Medical Foundation."
As if Hu Fanzhen had been touched by a certain nerve, Hu Fanzhen's eyes trembled slightly, and then he sighed unwillingly:
"What are you asking these for? How would I know?"
"Your relationship with Ye Juanjuan, don't we need to talk about it? You admit it yourself, the two of you talk about everything." Lu Weiwei looked up at Hu Fanzhen who was unwilling to cooperate, and continued:
"Besides, the two of you should have talked about many secrets, such as the code words like donkey rolling."
"Tell me, only you and Ye Juanjuan know the secret about donkey rolling."
"And after we verified it, we did find out that Ye Juanjuan has a certain relationship with Jiangbei Food Donkey Rolling."
"Like..."
Looking at Hu Fanzhen with dull eyes in front of her, Lu Weiwei also continued: "For example, Ye Juanjuan actually doesn't like eating donkey rolls at all, but she told you that this kind of dim sum is her favorite."
"Obviously, some of you, for example, are lying."
"And Ye Juanjuan's parents also know that Ye Juanjuan doesn't like donkey rolling, so they will be surprised when you bring donkey rolling food and say it was Ye Juanjuan's favorite food when she was alive."
"And this just proves what you mentioned to us, Ye Juanjuan's previous statement, that is, if Ye Juanjuan's parents showed a surprised look when you sent the donkey to roll, it means that she died wronged, right? ?”
Lu Weiwei seemed to have a good memory, and almost recounted all the situations that Hu Fanzhen had said before.
Now that the pressure is on Hu Fanzhen's side, I feel that the police are well prepared this time.
From the gazes of several policemen in front of him, Hu Fan really felt that what they knew or understood seemed to be far more than that.
After all, what was said before was commonplace, but now, after one night, it seems that there are some thick documents on the desks of Gu Chen and the others.
Hu Fan, who is good at observing words and demeanor, really knows that these people seem to want to use themselves to get the desired results from themselves.
...
6 o'clock in the morning. The Office of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Furong Branch. After fighting all night, He Junchao has basically figured out Ye Wenqi's basic rules. Especially in the past week, Ye Wenqi's main social context. He Junchao discovered that although Ye Wenqi worked for a medium-sized media company, Ye Wenqi was an idler in the company. Although he is a department manager, he is not busy at work. So the wages are not good either. But for such a low-paying job, Ye Wenqi can be generous in various occasions, which seems to be very problematic. For example, in the mouths of bald Xu Jun and Zhou Ye, it seems that Ye Wenqi is a local rich man. Not only did he become a shareholder of Xu Jun's financial leather bag company, but he also made a big deal out of Zhou Ye. The debts owed by Zhou Ye are basically covered by Ye Wenqi, so Zhou Ye's work for Ye Wenqi is also determined. A large part of the reason was because Ye Wenqi had money. But as Gu Chen asked He Junchao to conduct an in-depth investigation, He Junchao felt more and more unbelievable. It seemed that Ye Wenqi's background was bottomless. 6:20 in the morning. Gu Chen woke up from the folding bed in the office. At this moment, He Junchao was also sleeping soundly at his desk. It has become the normal work of the criminal investigation team to work continuously when encountering a case. Gu Chen walked up to He Junchao, bowed down, and checked He Junchao's investigation records. The click of the mouse quickly awakened He Junchao like a conditioned reflex. Turning around, Gu Chen was already standing beside him. "Senior Brother He, didn't I bother you?" Gu Chen kept staring at the computer screen and muttered involuntarily. He Junchao grinned, yawned, rubbed his confused eyes, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I've already found out for you what you want, this Ye Wenqi really has a big problem." "Ye Wenqi's family background is actually not rich, and he didn't invest in other industries. His parents are ordinary retired workers, but he is working as a manager of an ordinary media company, and his money is quite generous. Don't you think it's very Is there a problem?" "There is indeed a problem." Gu Chen moved a seat, sat next to He Junchao, and said analytically: "Ye Wenqi's work doesn't have many bright spots, but he has frequent close contact with this international charity fund. Could it be that Ye Wenqi got all his money from this international charity fund?" "It's very possible." He Junchao took Gu Chen's mouse, continued to click on the other hidden files of the investigation, and pointed them to Gu Chen: "Look, these are all my investigations on Ye Wenqi. He visits the Jiangnan City office of the International Public Welfare Fund once or twice a week, which is too frequent." "Furthermore, this international public welfare fund's office in Jiangnan City is staffed by foreigners." "This is very consistent with Zhou Ye's account. Zhou Ye said that Ye Wenqi has frequent contacts with some foreigners. I guess it is these people." "Troy Medical Charity Fund?" Gu Chen couldn't help but read out. "That's right, it's the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund. I took a look at it. This international public welfare fund is a public welfare fund jointly established by a well-known foreign doctor named Troy and our domestic entrepreneur named Zhu Zhiqiang. . "At first, it was initiated and established by Troy, and then with the efforts of Zhu Zhiqiang, it gradually began to have a certain influence in China." Hearing that Gu Chen was communicating with He Junchao, Lu Weiwei, who was gradually waking up, patted Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang, signaling them to hurry over. Several people immediately got together and began to analyze the results of the investigation. "He Junchao, keep talking." Lu Weiwei yawned. He Junchao nodded silently, and continued to introduce: "I've checked. The Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund has no problem with its organizational framework, but it just doesn't raise much money." "Its medical public welfare fund does not have a great influence overseas, but its goal is very ambitious." As soon as He Junchao finished speaking here, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but read along based on the documents investigated by He Junchao: "Dedicated to helping people in need of medical assistance all over the world, solving the problem of medical expenses, and providing transnational medical treatment..." After staring blankly, Police Officer Wang looked up at everyone and said, "This is an international medical public welfare fund with little influence. The goal is quite ambitious, and it is also a transnational medical treatment?" "I see that this organization was initiated in the United States. So many people in their own country need help, and it is too busy to do business across the country? Are you still setting up an office here?" "It's not that simple." Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head: "Many public welfare funds, although they use the name of 'public welfare', actually there are also some peddlers." "That's right, I feel very strange." Yuan Shasha couldn't help crossing her arms, and said in a suspicious tone: "This public welfare fund can do as many things as it can, and many of them are doing business in their own countries." "Only those foundations with considerable international influence will start so-called global business." "However, such internationally influential charitable foundations are generally charitable sponsors like the United Nations." Glancing at the introduction of the public welfare fund on the computer screen, Yuan Shasha couldn't help shaking her head: "But look at the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund, and it doesn't raise much public welfare funds." "Especially in our country, there are almost no fundraising projects, but we frequently help some domestic families who need medical treatment but cannot afford it due to medical burden to go abroad for treatment." "And... the ones receiving help and treatment are all teenagers." Gu Chen also added. Lu Weiwei immediately echoed: "That's right, there seems to be an age requirement, and only young people are accepted to go abroad for treatment, and they also promise to provide homestay abroad, and they can also study abroad while receiving treatment abroad, and the expenses will be borne by public welfare funds. " With a faint sigh, Lu Weiwei couldn't help feeling: "It feels like a pie falling from the sky." "It's not that simple." Police Officer Wang shook his head, and said involuntarily, "There are never pies in the sky, but traps. In my opinion, this so-called Troy Medical Charity Fund must be tricky." Gu Chen suddenly stood up straight, crossed his arms and hugged his chest, thinking and said: "Whether there is a problem with this public welfare fund, I think there is. Moreover, as an ordinary person, Ye Wenqi can accumulate a lot of wealth when his salary is not good. Where did he get all this money?" "Or, all his money comes from this charity fund?" "But since this public welfare fund is to help young people in our country go abroad for treatment and study, it should be non-profit." "But since it's non-profit, why did this public welfare fund give Ye Wenqi a lot of money?" "Also, if it is a non-profit organization, then in order to save daily expenses, this public welfare fund should directly recruit some local people to work in the local office." "And why arrange some foreigners, or nationals from the country where the public welfare fund was launched, to work here? This does not seem to meet the requirements of the public welfare fund to reduce personnel." Gu Chen's discussion instantly made everyone hesitate. According to common sense, most of the staff of public welfare funds are volunteers, or there are some special responsible personnel. Volunteers may be given a certain amount of cash subsidies, and staff are also paid a certain amount of wages. But this applies to some of the more influential charitable funds. But take a look at the offices of this public welfare fund in Jiangnan City. There are only three foreigners. If it is said that it is to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of the previous organization, it seems to be a bit of a past. However, this public welfare fund has an office in Jiangnan City for several years, but it has been operated by several foreigners for several years. This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the normal operation of public welfare funds. It looks more like he is afraid that outsiders will know some inside information. "The office of this public welfare fund must be tricky." Lu Weiwei also said a little uneasy: "Think about it, in terms of staffing, there is a problem." "All of them are foreigners working in the organization in charge of the office, and these foreigners often go out with Ye Wenqi to have fun." "Since it is a public welfare organization, it is basically not for profit. Moreover, this public welfare fund is in China, and the funds that can be raised are quite limited. Basically, there is no announcement on the date of fundraising on the website." "There are only a few photos of activities that help domestic teenagers go abroad for medical treatment. This is obviously a bit of an understatement." "That's right." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen couldn't help but say: "And according to Brother He's investigation, Ye Wenqi goes to the office of this charity fund once or twice a week." "But Ye Wenqi doesn't seem to have any position in this organization. The business card he gave me is just a business manager of the media company." "Then why did he and his wife go to Nanling to plant trees? Is it really for his dead daughter?" Yuan Shasha also expressed her own opinion. In Yuan Shasha's view, Ye Wenqi's behavior was indeed too confusing. After all, Ye Wenqi and his wife are also doing some charity work. However, Gu Chen recalled that during the interrogation of Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye had mentioned that Ye Wenqi had kidnapped a woman a few years ago, and then moved quickly. Therefore, I feel that Ye Wenqi is not a good person at all. But what is the purpose of planting trees for public welfare? After thinking about it again and again, Gu Chen speculated, "Perhaps participating in charity tree planting is just to convince others that he is a good father." "But I always believe that things are not that simple." "Junior Brother Gu." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei suggested, "Aren't there photos on this website of teenagers helped by their charity fund going abroad for treatment?" "Based on these people, we can investigate the families who have gone abroad for treatment to see what's going on with them?" "Good idea." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen also grinned: "That's what I mean too." "Since Ye Juanjuan passed away a few years ago, there is no way to know her experience abroad from Ye Juanjuan, and Hu Fanzhen seems to be deliberately concealing certain things." "We might as well learn something about it from other teens who have been in supportive care." Glancing at He Junchao, Gu Chen also urged, "Senior Brother He, see if you can find some families of teenagers who are receiving help from the information of these people, and contact them." "Wait a minute." He Junchao intercepted some rescuers' avatars from the public welfare fund's website activities, and began to perform face matching within the system. Since all the rescued have relevant photos, it is not difficult for He Junchao to find them. After only a short while, the information of a young man suddenly appeared in the information database. "Find one." He Junchao retrieved one of the messages and introduced it to everyone: "This man's name is Xu Jiahao. Two years ago, because of a heart problem, he received assistance from this public welfare fund and went to the United States for treatment and study." "Is there any other news about Xu Jiahao?" Gu Chen asked again. He Junchao hesitated for a moment, and said: "At present, there is only this news, and the website update of this public welfare fund is only two years ago. It seems that no one maintains it later, so it has not been updated." "What about the contact information?" Yuan Shasha asked. "It's in our Jiangnan City." He Junchao continued to retrieve the information records, and said, "It's in Xujia Village, Daqiao Town." "Is there a contact number?" Lu Weiwei asked. "No." He Junchao said helplessly. Gu Chen held his chin, walked back and forth in front of the crowd, and said involuntarily: "It seems that we have to go and arrange this Xu Jiahao's family, and see how this person is now?" "If we can learn something about Xu Jiahao's situation in the United States from Xu Jiahao, then maybe we can also know something about Ye Juanjuan's situation there." "It would be great if that's the case." Officer Wang also punched his left palm with his right fist, and couldn't help but said happily: "The Ye Wenqi couple, as well as Ye Wentao, continue to let Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe keep an eye on them, and report to us immediately if there is any trouble." "The most important thing for us now is to go to Xu Jiahao's place to inquire about the situation. We must find out what is going on behind this charity fund." "Agreed." Gu Chen echoed. Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha looked at each other and nodded slightly in agreement. ... ... 7 am. After enjoying breakfast, everyone hurriedly drove to Daqiao Town, planning to pay a visit to Xu Jiahao's family and ask about Xu Jiahao's situation. Daqiao Town is located at the southwest end of Jiangnan City, which belongs to the border area with brother cities. This is also a hilly area, and Daqiao Town is also named after an ancient bridge with a history of hundreds of years. According to the address given by He Junchao, Gu Chen continued to drive towards Xujia Village after arriving at Daqiao Town. When I came to Xujia Village, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. "Should it be here?" Looking at the somewhat quaint village, Lu Weiwei felt that this place was simply a piece of pure land. Officer Wang lowered the window of the car, poked his head out to observe, and then confirmed and said: "That's right, on the road that came just now, the road sign is here." "Then get out of the car and have a look." Yuan Shasha said. Several people got out of the car one after another, and the sound of closing the door was one after another. At this moment, an old lady was washing vegetables by a clear river at the entrance of the village. There are a few little milk dogs around, wagging their tails constantly. Seeing a stranger visiting, one of the little milk dogs couldn't help barking a few times in the direction of Gu Chen and the others. The movement also made the old lady notice that someone was coming, so she slowly raised her head and glanced in the direction of Gu Chen and the others. Seeing that Gu Chen and the others were all wearing police uniforms, the old lady couldn't help being taken aback. She tried her best to prop up her body and stood by the river to observe. "Old lady, does Xu Jiahao live here?" Gu Chen asked standing by the small bridge. "That's right, why are you looking for Xu Jiahao?" The old lady asked curiously. "We have something to ask him, can you take us to his house?" Lu Weiwei also walked to Gu Chen's side and quickly explained. The old lady was a little puzzled, and after thinking for a while, she slowly said: "I am Xu Jiahao's grandma." "You... are you his grandma?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Police Officer Wang beside her. Police officer Wang took a step forward, and hurriedly said, "So it's Xu Jiahao's grandma. Do you know what's going on with your grandson? He's still studying abroad, right?" As if she had asked about the old woman's sadness, the old woman's nose was sore, and she choked up and said, "What exactly are you looking for him for?" Seeing that the old lady seemed to be a little emotional, Gu Chen looked at everyone, and also took the initiative to walk down the small bridge and came to the old lady, and then said politely: "It's like this. We are investigating a case recently. This case is related to a woman, and this woman once received help from an international public welfare fund to study abroad." "And according to our investigation, we found that your grandson Xu Jiahao also received help from this charity fund to go abroad for medical treatment and study." "So, I came here today to find out about your grandson Xu Jiahao's situation abroad, how much do you know about him?" "My grandson...is dead." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the old lady let out a long sigh and couldn't help explaining. "Dead... dead?" Hearing the old lady's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help being taken aback, and hurried to the old lady, asking emotionally: "Old lady, how did your grandson Xu Jiahao die?" "Car accident." With a heavy sigh, the old lady said helplessly: "My grandson was in a car accident abroad, and he just disappeared. The public welfare foundation over there helped to cremate my grandson's body locally, and then asked someone to bring it back to China." valley With a sob, the old lady seemed to have not thought of her grandson's sadness for a long time. But now that it is mentioned by Gu Chen and the others, it seems that sad memories of the past suddenly come to mind. The old lady suddenly had a sore nose, and couldn't help wiping the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with the back of her rough hand. The little milk dogs around seemed to notice the sadness of their master, so they couldn't help "beeping" a few times, wagging their tails, and gathered around their master to comfort them. Gu Chen and the others were suddenly a little embarrassed. It's just that I didn't expect that things were far beyond everyone's expectations. But looking back, it seemed that everyone was alerted again. After all, Ye Wenqi's daughter, Ye Juanjuan, died of illness suddenly at home in China after receiving treatment abroad. But now, Xu Jiahao, who was also receiving medical treatment abroad, also passed away in a car accident. But Xu Jiahao's accident took place abroad. The deaths of the two may seem coincidental, but they also seem reasonable. One was due to a relapse of an old illness, while the other was due to an accidental car accident. Thinking of this, Gu Chen also asked earnestly: "Old lady, can you tell us about your grandson's situation abroad?" The old lady hesitated for a few seconds, but still nodded and said, "Okay, then come with me." Turning around, the old lady was about to put the washed vegetables into the basket. But Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately started to help the old lady fill it up. After packing up the vegetables, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also helped the old lady carry the vegetables home. A group of people walked through the small road at the entrance of the village and came to an old house. Although the old house is old, the walls have been repainted, which looks very similar to the color of some surrounding buildings. In the new rural construction, although there are some unified new buildings, many old houses have also been completely preserved. Pushing open the wooden door, the old lady invited everyone to come in and sit down, then poured tea for a few of them, and holding a plastic bag, grabbed a handful of salted peanuts for each of them. Entertaining guests in the countryside is so simple and unpretentious, sharing the best things. Lu Weiwei was originally a foodie, but now she has become reserved. It was only after symbolically eating a salted peanut that we started to get down to business. "Old lady, why did your grandson go abroad for medical treatment?" Lu Weiwei asked. "It's because of...a heart problem." The old lady sat on a bamboo chair opposite the crowd, and said slowly: "Jiahao's heart has always been not very good, and he is often hospitalized, but we can't afford the high medical expenses. The family's savings are all used for treatment, so take a look..." Pointing to the surrounding environment, the old lady also said unwillingly: "The neighbors around have all lived in new houses, but our family basically still lives in the old house because of treating Jiahao's illness." "Then how did you know that there is a medical public welfare fund that can treat your grandson Xu Jiahao abroad?" Gu Chen pointed the law enforcement camera at the old lady and asked her curiously. The old lady sighed faintly, and said helplessly: "I don't know the details, I just remember my son told me that when Jiahao was in the hospital, someone suddenly gave him a business card." "I said that I am a public welfare fund, which specializes in helping patients who need information, but young people who can hardly afford medical expenses, go abroad for treatment." After a pause, the old lady continued to think about it and said: "I remember, they seem to say so." "And this kind of treatment is long-term. Therefore, in order not to delay the children's studies, they can even contact the host families abroad, and they can also contact the local public schools to arrange for my grandson to study in public schools in the United States." Taking a deep breath, the old lady was also quite emotional: "Think about it, my grandson is in China, and the treatment costs are a lot of money." "But when you go abroad, they provide you with food and accommodation, treatment, and arrange for you to study abroad. This is similar to studying abroad. It's very good when you think about it." "So, my son and daughter-in-law agreed to their invitation without even thinking about it." "I just talked about it with me when I came back. I didn't want to agree to it. After all, I'm going abroad, and my grandson can only go there alone. I feel that the child won't take care of me when I'm abroad." With a faint sigh, the old lady couldn't help but wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes, and said helplessly, "But there is no way, if you don't go abroad for treatment, the treatment fee will be a huge expense." "Our family has never studied much, and we can't make much money, but if we can get free treatment, we can still study abroad." "This kind of condition is really good when you think about it, so after our family discussed it repeatedly, I can only agree in the end." "So, two years ago, your grandson Xu Jiahao went to the United States, received active funding from this charity, and has been receiving treatment there for free, right?" "Yes." The old lady nodded silently and said involuntarily. "Then has your grandson ever come back?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked. The old lady shook her head: "The air ticket back home is too expensive, and our family can't afford it." "And it was also said there that they are only responsible for the air ticket to the United States, and all the expenses for board, lodging, study and treatment there." "But if the child wants to go home halfway, the air ticket to go home will be borne by the child's family." "I thought about it, halfway through the treatment, I have to come back halfway, and then go back again. The round-trip air ticket is too expensive, and I really can't afford it." "So, simply let the child continue to receive treatment there, and it will not be too late to come back when he is in college." Gu Chen recorded these on the record, and then asked: "Then you can only communicate through video calls, right?" "Yes." The old lady nodded. "Then does he usually talk to you about things abroad?" Gu Chen asked again. The old lady thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes, I will. When I first went there, my grandson felt that everything was very new, because the grandson's English is also relatively good, so it is not a big problem to communicate with the children there. " "At the beginning of the period, he called us and told us that he was doing well there, and he was enjoying many high-quality treatment services and physical examinations..." Listening to the old lady's eloquence, while Gu Chen was recording, he suddenly interrupted: "Old lady, what you're talking about is the situation when your grandson Xu Jiahao just went there. What about after that? When he called you later, did he have any emotional fluctuations?" "Emotionally?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, the old lady scratched the back of her head and thought about it instantly. Lu Weiwei also hurriedly agreed: "It's that kind. I was very happy before, but then I suddenly became a little depressed, or a little unhappy. Think about it carefully." "Eh? It seems a bit." Reminded by Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen, the old lady frowned immediately, and said in thought: "I remember that when he talked to us for the first time, he felt very happy, but later, he spoke for a short time each time, just as a routine, and reported to us the latest situation." "How long does it take?" Gu Chen asked. The old lady scratched her cheeks and thought about it repeatedly: "The first time, I remember chatting with us for half an hour, as if there were many things I wanted to share with us." "But half a month later, we only received the second call, and then he would contact us every week, but the call time was long, like two or three minutes." "I feel like my grandson Xu Jiahao doesn't have anything to talk to us about." "I asked him if he was doing well there? He said it was good. Anyway, it was just a question and an answer, and it felt like a mechanical answer." With a faint sigh, the old lady was also quite helpless, and couldn't help but said with emotion: "It may be the colorful world over there, which opened the children's eyes." "After all, if you go to a developed country like the United States, they are more advanced than us in many things." "So, it takes time for children to integrate into the life there." "It's also possible that there are a lot of friends there, and it's understandable that we don't have many topics with us." "Old lady." Seeing that the old lady was depressed, Gu Chen continued to remind: "During your grandson Xu Jiahao's treatment there, when he was talking to you, did he feel particularly depressed? Or, when he was talking to you, was there anyone else around him?" "Uh... this..." Hearing Gu Chen's question, the old lady looked up at the ceiling, trying to remember. It seems that she didn't pay too much attention, and she is getting older and her memory is not very good, so the old lady's reaction speed is relatively slow. But Lu Weiwei said comfortingly: "Old lady, don't worry, speak slowly." "It seems... It seems to be once, remember whether it was once or twice, anyway, I feel that my grandson's mood does not seem to be very happy, even a little depressed." Sighing softly, the old lady continued to think back: "At that time, he seemed to be very sad, and there seemed to be a foreigner beside him, anyway, he was sitting on the side." "I also asked him, who is that person? He seemed to say that he was from a medical institution, or that he was from a public welfare foundation. Anyway, I don't remember clearly." "At that time, I thought he was being bullied, so I asked a few more questions, but he didn't say anything, just chatted with me a few words, and hung up the video directly, so..." At the end of the talk, the old lady was also very frustrated, and said in a bad mood: "What is the situation of the grandson abroad? We don't know it here." "But then one day, maybe a week after the call, suddenly one day, my son received a call from abroad, saying that my grandson had a car accident there, and the whereabouts of the driver was unknown. My grandson... my grandson Died instantly." Speaking of this, the old lady seemed to be unable to hide the grief and indignation in her heart, she burst into tears instantly, wiped her tears with the back of her rough hand, and said with a sob: "He was hit by a car with another girl who was going there for treatment." "It's still a public welfare fund abroad. It helped us arrange the funeral. After our consent, it helped my son book a ticket and went there to deal with the aftermath." With a heavy sigh, the old lady was also quite helpless: "I originally went there to receive treatment and study, but I didn't expect that my grandson died in the end." "I didn't even see my grandson for the last time, he was cremated right there." "When I saw my grandson again, he had already been put into an urn. Why is my life so miserable..." The old lady said at the end, and burst into tears. It seemed that everyone reminded her of her sad past, which made it difficult for the old lady to hide her sadness for a while. Everyone was quite embarrassed for a while. Unexpectedly, originally I just came to investigate Xu Jiahao's experience abroad, but it made the old lady cry. Yuan Shasha also hurriedly took out a tissue, handed it to the old lady, and said, "Old lady, you... don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, your condolences..." Although Yuan Shasha tried her best to comfort the old lady, the old lady seemed unable to hold back her emotions and could not stop crying at all. Seeing this scene, Gu Chen also called Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei out of the house. The three came to the door of the old house. Gu Chen also expressed his own opinion: "I think the matter is too strange. First of all, this so-called international medical institution looks irregular." "What's more, including Ye Juanjuan who went abroad for treatment before, Xu Jiahao later, and another woman who went abroad for treatment, all passed away in the end." "Ye Juanjuan died at home in China, while Xu Jiahao and another woman died in a car accident abroad." "Why is this? Why is this the end result?" Gu Chen also couldn't understand that it was originally an international medical charity, but in the end these participants all passed away one after another. Although everyone's situation is different, the result is the same, it's hard to avoid Gu Chen's doubts. Lu Weiwei couldn't help but said, "Junior Brother Gu, Lao Wang, tell me, these people who participated in the treatment are abroad, will they be controlled by others?" "And behind this public welfare fund, will there be other organizations manipulating it? I always feel that there is something tricky about it." "I also agree with this statement." Officer Wang walked back and forth twice, and said involuntarily: "I always feel that there is a special purpose behind this organization. They don't care about so many poor people in their own country who need medical assistance, but they come to care about the patients in our country. This is very abnormal." "Moreover, this medical public welfare fund does not seem to be very famous. If these capital countries, if they are not motivated by any interests, will they send those people from their own country to work here? Isn't it true that we recruit local people to serve us? Better and more cost-effective?" "Ye Wenqi, they should be regarded as local recruits, at least I think so." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen answered directly. "I agree." Lu Weiwei quickly agreed. The three of them quickly reached an agreement at the door, that is, there seems to be some unknown secret hidden behind this public welfare fund. At least according to the current situation, Ye Wenqi had the experience of being kidnapped, but where did the kidnapped woman go in the end? There is no word yet. And it happened a few years ago, which is very intriguing. "No, we must thoroughly investigate the office of this public welfare fund. We must find out what these people are doing?" Officer Wang walked back and forth in front of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and couldn't help but say. Afterwards, several people pooled 600 yuan and left it to Xu Jiahao's grandma, and then everyone rushed to the city without stopping. On the way, Police Officer Wang started calling Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe to close the net. Bring Ye Wenqi and his wife, as well as Ye Wentao, who are under surveillance, back to the police station for interrogation. At the same time, the police officers of the criminal investigation team were notified to go to the office of the Troy Medical Public Welfare Fund in Jiangnan City, seal up the office of this institution, and control the relevant personnel. These people are going to be taken back to the Furong Sub-bureau for interrogation. When they came to the Furong branch, Gu Chen did not immediately interrogate these people, but called Hu Fanzhen, who had already had enough sleep, to interrogation room No. 1 again. ... ... In interrogation room No. 1, Hu Fanzhen sat blankly on the interrogation chair, looking at Gu Chen and the others with blank eyes. Gu Chen and the others briefly looked at each other for more than 20 seconds. Hu Fanzhen seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too quiet and weird, so he couldn't help asking first, "Officer Gu, what are you guys trying to do?" "It's not what we want to do? It's what you need to tell us?" Gu Chen said. "Like..." "For example, how many secrets do you know? About Ye Juanjuan, Ye Juanjuan's parents, and...the Troy Medical Foundation." As if Hu Fanzhen had been touched by a certain nerve, Hu Fanzhen's eyes trembled slightly, and then he sighed unwillingly: "What are you asking these for? How would I know?" "Your relationship with Ye Juanjuan, don't we need to talk about it? You admit it yourself, the two of you talk about everything." Lu Weiwei looked up at Hu Fanzhen who was unwilling to cooperate, and continued: "Besides, the two of you should have talked about many secrets, such as the code words like donkey rolling." "Tell me, only you and Ye Juanjuan know the secret about donkey rolling." "And after we verified it, we did find out that Ye Juanjuan has a certain relationship with Jiangbei Food Donkey Rolling." "Like..." Looking at Hu Fanzhen with dull eyes in front of her, Lu Weiwei also continued: "For example, Ye Juanjuan actually doesn't like eating donkey rolls at all, but she told you that this kind of dim sum is her favorite." "Obviously, some of you, for example, are lying." "And Ye Juanjuan's parents also know that Ye Juanjuan doesn't like donkey rolling, so they will be surprised when you bring donkey rolling food and say it was Ye Juanjuan's favorite food when she was alive." "And this just proves what you mentioned to us, Ye Juanjuan's previous statement, that is, if Ye Juanjuan's parents showed a surprised look when you sent the donkey to roll, it means that she died wronged, right? ? Lu Weiwei seemed to have a good memory, and almost recounted all the situations that Hu Fanzhen had said before. Now that the pressure is on Hu Fanzhen's side, I feel that the police are well prepared this time. From the gazes of several policemen in front of him, Hu Fan really felt that what they knew or understood seemed to be far more than that. After all, what was said before was commonplace, but now, after one night, it seems that there are some thick documents on the desks of Gu Chen and the others. Hu Fan, who is good at observing words and demeanor, really knows that these people seem to want to use themselves to get the desired results from themselves. ...
