At nearly 7:30 in the evening, Yu Zhiming finally met the big liar in an interrogation room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, accompanied by Qing Ning and Wei Hao.
Yu Zhiming looked at the big liar named Ge Ping in front of him.
Forty-five years old, of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with an oval face and very ordinary facial features, just like a popular face, the kind you wouldn’t find in a crowd.
Yu Zhiming met this man twice at Huguang Shanshe and Yiyuan Restaurant, but found that his appearance at this time was obviously different from before.
I can just vaguely see some familiarity.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but confirm softly, "Officer Wei, is this what he really looks like?"
Wei Hao nodded lightly and said: "It's the real look, there is no modification on the face."
After a pause, he introduced: "His job is as a film and television makeup artist, and he is quite famous in the circle."
She’s just a film and television makeup artist?!
To be honest, Yu Zhiming was a little disappointed with this answer.
It should be the disguised successor of a certain martial arts hermit school who has that taste.
Yu Zhiming met Ge Ping's gaze and asked, "I'm already here. Can you tell me why you want to see me?"
Before waiting for the other party to respond, he couldn't help but ask: "It stands to reason that I have no ill intentions towards you. I didn't expose your scam at the scene about the Conch Pearl incident."
"Why did you later find someone to pretend to be me to defraud you?"
Ge Ping withdrew his gaze from sizing up Yu Zhiming and said, "I didn't mean it specifically, I just happened to see that guy who looks very similar to you, Dr. Yu, and I took it upon myself to do it."
Yu Zhiming thought so too.
It is really not easy to search the world for someone with a similar appearance to him.
Ge Ping said slowly: "Also, I have never had a good impression of doctors and hospitals, especially so-called famous doctors."
"I discovered that young man by accident. I thought I could trick you into being famous, so I casually designed a trap."
Yu Zhiming grinned and asked, "Have you ever been tricked by a doctor?"
Ge Ping was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Sixteen years ago, my mother was seriously ill. I used my connections to send red envelopes to find a so-called famous doctor to treat my mother."
"The doctor's diagnosis was that he needed heart bypass surgery, and he had to pay a surgical fee of 120,000 yuan."
"At that time, I was poor and had no money, so I asked the doctor to do the surgery first. I will definitely pay back the money."
"I knelt down, but the doctor still said coldly, I can only do the surgery after paying the money."
"On that afternoon, I committed fraud for the first time in my life. I defrauded a businessman of 120,000 yuan and paid for my mother's surgery fee."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming felt a little heavy.
Is it the doctor’s fault?
More than ten years ago, it was the hospital's policy to pay first before performing surgery. The doctor had no ability to change this.
Does the doctor advance the surgery fee for the patient?
Doctors may be able to bear one or two patients, but when faced with so many patients, doctors simply cannot bear it and can only be hard-hearted.
Yu Zhiming sighed secretly.
Ge Ping continued: "My mother's surgery went well, but recovery after surgery also requires a lot of money."
"Having tasted the sweetness, I can only continue to cheat."
Speaking of this, Ge Ping laughed and said: "I found that I am quite talented in this area, and I have succeeded every time."
"Of course, there is still a sense of guilt."
"So, I set rules for myself."
"The first is to only defraud wealthy people out of their money; the second is to donate half of the money gained to help needy families who cannot afford medical treatment."
Ge Ping met Yu Zhiming's gaze again and asked: "Dr. Yu, I guess you recognized me by my voice?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said: "It is true, I am quite talented in sound perception."
Ge Ping chuckled, and then asked: "But, in that video of raising donations for the poor children, I obviously changed my voice?"
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and said: "Everyone's voice, no matter whether it is loud or soft, or the voice is deliberately changed, but the organs that produce the sound are still those organs, and the most basic thing has not changed."
"For me, it is very easy to see the essence through phenomena, as easy as drinking water and eating."
Ge Ping nodded and said: "I understand. I was careless. I fell into trouble this time. It's not unfair at all."
He sat up straight again and said solemnly: "Dr. Yu, whether you believe it or not, I sent a video to raise funds for that child. I really did it out of kindness, not to cheat money."
"If possible, I would like to ask Dr. Yu to help him. A little boy who is only six years old would be really pitiful if he could never see the world again."
Yu Zhiming has watched the donation video carefully.
The parents of the six-year-old boy are migrant workers.
They discovered that their son was born with poor eyesight and his eyesight was gradually deteriorating, so they took him to a large hospital for examination.
After going to many hospitals, I was finally diagnosed with hereditary retinopathy caused by a mutation in the gene fragment rpe65.
This is a genetic rare disease.
The international pharmaceutical giant Novartis has developed a gene therapy agent for this disease.
The treatment method is to inject healthy rpe65 gene into the patient's eyes, and introduce the patient's retinal cells to replace the diseased gene, thereby improving or restoring vision.
Although the therapeutic effect of this drug is good, the price is extremely high.
One dose of the drug costs more than 400,000 US dollars. Two doses for two eyes cost 900,000 US dollars.
Ge Ping begged again: "Dr. Yu, with your connections and appeal, it shouldn't be difficult to raise millions of funds."
"You have also personally experienced the feelings of a blind person. That child is only six years old. It is really pitiful."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said: "I will have people do the investigation. If what you say in the video is true, I will do my best to help that child."
Ge Ping smiled and said: "Doctor Yu, just go and investigate, I definitely didn't tell a lie."
Yu Zhiming was noncommittal and asked: "Is this why you asked me to come here?"
Ge Ping nodded and said frankly: "This is the matter. Although I was caught, I hope it will start well and end well."
"I thought about it. Among the people I know, you are the only one who has the ability and kindness to help that child."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but roll his eyelids.
Ge Ping sighed softly: "Actually, I also understand that I didn't blame the doctor when my mother had the surgery."
"He has no choice."
"Back then, the country stipulated that. Even now, many people still cannot afford medical treatment."
Qing Ning suddenly interrupted and asked: "Where is your mother now?"
Ge Ping said solemnly: "He passed away more than three years ago."
The interrogation room was quiet for a while.
After a while, Yu Zhiming stood up and said: "Qing Ning, let's go."
"Wait a minute."
Ge Ping stopped Yu Zhiming again and said, "I still clearly remember the first person I cheated on."
"He looks to be in his forties and has a very kind face. Although he is dressed in unusual clothes, he treats me with courtesy."
"For so many years, the only person who made me feel deeply guilty was him. After that, I always took advantage of the pride and greed of rich people and took the bait."
"Only to him, I took the initiative to deceive."
"Well, Doctor Yu, can you do me one more favor and find that person?"
Yu Zhiming looked at Wei Hao standing aside and said, "It should be the job of the police to find the victim, right?"
Wei Hao smiled bitterly and said: "With just a name and a portrait drawn from memory, finding a person from sixteen years ago is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack."
As he spoke, Wei Hao opened the folder in his hand and handed over a sketch.
Yu Zhiming took the sketched portrait and saw that it was a handsome uncle who looked very kind.
To his surprise, this portrait gave him a very familiar feeling.
However, the name written under the portrait is Lu Hong.
"Qing Ning, look at this portrait, how do you feel?"
Qing Ning glanced at the portrait and blurted out: "Hey, why do you look so much like my dad..."
A few minutes later, Qing Ning dialed Gu Changxuan's phone number.
Pressed speakerphone again.
"Dad, let me ask you something. Sixteen years ago, were you defrauded of 120,000 yuan?"
The next moment, Gu Changxuan's voice came from the mobile phone.
"What a big joke, who did you listen to?"
"Your father and I are wise, powerful, and wise. When have I been deceived by others? Don't even think of defrauding me of even one dollar, let alone 120,000 yuan."
Qing Ning pursed her lips.
I heard Gu Changxuan continue on the phone: "The 120,000 yuan was given by me on my own initiative."
After hearing this, Ge Ping stood up from his seat and asked excitedly: "The 120,000 given away?"
"Of course it's given away."
"At that time, I was discussing business in the hospital and saw the young man kneeling down and begging the doctor to perform an operation in order to save his mother."
"Later, I saw that young man again in the hotel lobby and he came over to get close to me."
"That scam was very clumsy, but I knew why he defrauded 120,000 yuan, so I pretended not to see through it."
"Hey, who are you?"
"Also, Qing Ning, how did you know about this? I don't remember telling anyone else about this."
At this moment, Ge Ping was in tears.
"May I ask my benefactor, the name you left behind at that time?"
"The name I left behind is Lu Hong, which has almost the same sound as my lover's name."
"Hey, who are you..."
Nearly twenty minutes later, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning drove away from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Qing Ning said with a sigh on her face: "Zhiming, tell me, how is my dad feeling now?"
"A moment of good deeds turned out to be a big liar."
While driving, Yu Zhiming whispered: "Who could have imagined such a thing?"
"It's good if it comes from a good heart."
Qing Ning hummed slightly and said, "As for the little boy with bad eyes, Ning'an Group has a charity support fund. I can contact him. It won't be a big problem."
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "Qing Ning, I now have a house, a car, a girlfriend, and I also make a lot of money."
"There are some people in society who look down upon medical treatment."
"I think we can donate some money..."
Qing Ning's eyes lit up and she roared: "Zhi Ming, how about we go one step further, for example, setting up a charity fund?"
Yu Zhiming grinned and said: "It's very troublesome to set up a foundation, manage it and raise donations."
"I don't have the time or energy."
Qing Ning said hey: "It's just your name, the fund management can be affiliated, or let professionals be responsible."
"With this fund, you will not only be able to help more people, but it will also be convenient for you to conduct medical research in the future..."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming's stomach growled.
"Qing Ning, let's take a long-term view on the foundation. Let's go to the buffet first."
