Chapter 24 The Kidney Sellers

Posted on the wall is an advertisement for selling kidneys, with a phone number on it.

This wall is shocking. It is illegal to buy and sell guns, and it is also sinful to sell drugs. However, in broad daylight and in full view of the public, there are not only advertisements for selling kidneys, but also advertisements for selling guns and ammunition, and selling ecstasy pills.

Bao Zhan asked: What do you think the circle represents?

Professor Liang: The starting point is also the end point, meaning 0.

Su Mei said: I think of the underground corpse processing factory and the hole in Wuwu's abdomen. It's scary to think about it.

Hualong said: The manic man also had a scar on his abdomen.

Bao Zhan said: The circle drawn by Nurse Xiao Zhu consists of two crescents, which may represent an organ in the human body.

Director Yan: Heart?

Bao Zhan: It’s probably the kidneys.

At the food stall, Professor Liang arranged a task. Su Mei led the forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy on Wu Wu to determine the cause of the abdominal wound. Hua Long interrogated the manic man and investigated the cause of his abdominal scar.

Director Yan said: I think the deputy dean should be controlled first?

Professor Liang said: I suggest you read more books, especially the book "A Brief History of Time" that Liu Wuxin read.

Director Yan said: I don’t read, and reading gives me a headache.

Professor Liang said: Well, I am responsible for reading and looking for any notes in the book. Director Yan, please investigate the identity and background of Nurse Xiao Zhu. Tiger whip is a luxurious thing. How can she, a small nurse,

affordable?

Bao Zhan said: What about me, what am I responsible for?

Professor Liang said: Sell your kidney!

Bao Zhan was responsible for collecting clues from the outside. He put on the clothes of a migrant worker and called the number on the advertisement for selling kidneys.

There are approximately 1.3 million uremia patients in the country. Only kidney organ transplantation or dialysis treatment can save lives. Most patients choose kidney transplantation because dialysis treatment can only remove part of the toxins, and the long-term cost is higher than that of organ transplantation. It is huge.

The demand market has spawned a "black market" for selling kidneys, and formed a chain of interests closely participated by donors, intermediaries, patients, etc.

You can see advertisements selling kidneys near hospitals, near stations, and in labor centers where migrant workers gather.

An hour later, someone drove a dilapidated van to pick up Bao Zhan. The man briefly asked about the situation. Bao Zhan claimed that he had lost money in the garlic business and was being chased for debt by his partners. He was desperate and wanted to sell his kidney. Then

Seeing that Bao Zhan was plainly dressed, no one was suspicious, so they drove him to a dilapidated residential area, then turned around and entered a courtyard in a small alley.

The house in the courtyard is very old and has no curtains. A group of people are playing cards and some are watching TV.

From their accents, we can tell that these people come from all over the country and are all waiting to sell their kidneys. They come here with the same situation - poor family and lack of money. They also have the same purpose - to make money by selling their livers or kidneys.

.

The organ dealer was a balding middle-aged man. He asked Bao Zhan to fill out a form to voluntarily sell his kidney. The driver just took out a syringe and said he wanted to draw blood for a test. After passing the test, he would also need to undergo an electrocardiogram and an ultrasound.

, urine routine, and five hepatitis B tests. Only after passing the five tests can you be a qualified donor.

Bao Zhan said: Wait a minute, let me ask clearly first, what is a donor?

The organ dealer said: These people in the house are all willing to sell their kidneys.

Bao Zhan said: How much does it cost to sell one?

Organ dealer: selling kidneys for NT$35,000 and livers for NT$40,000.

Bao Zhan: How much can you earn as an intermediary?

Organ dealer: Not many. Why are you asking about this? It is voluntary whether to sell or not. If not, get out.

Bao Zhan asked: Would selling a kidney cause any serious harm to the body?

The organ dealer said: It's okay. It's just like appendicitis. Cutting it off won't hurt anything.

A man selling kidneys in the room talked to him and said: My father has already sold one. You have two kidneys, so selling one will be fine.

Another person said: You can eat, live and play for free here, how nice it is, the food is also good, there are meat and vegetables every day.

The driver said: Our business is booming. We have raised more than 190 donors this year.

Bao Zhan: The country prohibits organ trading. Isn’t this a crime?

Organ dealer: It’s not a crime to do this, and the patients say I’m doing a good deed.

Someone answered and said: Selling a kidney can save one person and make money, which is actually very noble.

Bao Zhan said: If there is no problem in selling one kidney, I also want to sell one, but the hospital has to ask for a relative certificate, what should I do?

Organ trafficker: The hospital only wants money and will perform surgeries without verifying identity.

The driver said: Don't worry, we will prepare materials to pretend to be relatives of patients, and the hospital will turn a blind eye and don't care.

Bao Zhan: Can you give me more money? I'm short of money.

Driver: Now, the price is a bit low. The mental hospital has messed up the market. In the past, a kidney could be sold for 40,000 yuan, but the mental hospital sold it for 35,000 yuan. We can only lower the price.

Bao Zhan: Do mental hospitals still sell kidneys?

Driver: Yes, that bloody dean sold the kidneys of mental patients. I heard he was killed.

Organ dealer: Don’t dare to say this nonsense, the police are investigating the case.

Bao Zhan claimed that he was a hepatitis B patient and did not meet the requirements for a donor. When he left, the organ dealer told him not to tell anyone about this kidney selling den. The driver drove Bao Zhan back to the place where they met, and again

After telling him not to talk nonsense, Bao Zhan said that he would not reveal the place where the kidney seller lived.

Bao Zhan returned to the mental hospital and reported his investigation to Professor Liang. Wu Wu's autopsy results have come out. He has lost 60% of his liver, and the manic patient has lost a kidney.

Director Yan held a meeting. He became furious, pounded the table and said:

In this hospital, kidneys of living people are sold, and corpses of dead people are sold. Do you still have a conscience? Doctors are supposed to be angels in white who save lives and heal the wounded, but they are blind to profit and blind to money. They are really worse than animals. Are those patients lunatics, or are they?

Are doctors patients?

Although the vice-president claimed that he had no knowledge of the sale of human organs, he was still removed from the position of vice-president of the mental hospital by the superior authorities and was subject to further investigation. The leader of the Health Bureau said that the next step would be to cooperate with the public security organs.

Strictly crack down on illegal trading of human organs.

Bao Zhan made a speech based on his unannounced visit. He said that in addition to the relationship between supply and demand, the hospital did not strictly review organ transplants. It only recognized money but not people. It also did not publicize enough about the harmful effects of selling kidneys and livers.

This kind of censorship, which is a mere formality and in vain, provides an opportunity for those engaged in the sale and purchase of human organs and the ground for making huge profits. They use a large number of false materials, forge documents, introduce donors to pretend to be relatives of patients, and make the people involved in the sale and purchase illegal.

Human organs successfully passed the transplant operation. There are many people engaged in the intermediary business of buying and selling human organs across the country, and the business has formed a one-stop service. Some even extend their black hands to minors, and even cases of kidnapping victims and forcibly cutting off their organs occur from time to time.

The hospital has an unshirkable responsibility!

For those who sell their kidneys, ignorance is written on the left kidney, and poverty is written on the right kidney.

Most of them are farmers. Poverty is not terrible. What is terrible is their inability to change their poor lives.

Su Mei said: More than one million yuan of the dean's property comes from unknown sources.

Professor Liang said: How much is Nurse Xiao Zhu’s property?

Su Mei looked at the investigation report and said: Zero yuan, zero income. She worked in the mental hospital for three years and not a penny was paid to her.

Professor Liang said: I personally propose that Nurse Xiao Zhu be given the leadership position in the mental hospital.

Director Yan said: Her suspicion cannot be ruled out yet.

Professor Liang said: Nurse Xiao Zhu did not have time to commit crimes. When the two cases occurred, she was taking care of the patients.

The leader of the Health Bureau said: Her qualifications and academic qualifications are not enough. How can a nurse serve as the director?

Professor Liang said: After investigation, we found out that Nurse Xiao Zhu is a doctor of psychiatry who has returned from studying abroad and has a good family background.

The leader of the Health Bureau asked puzzledly: According to you, this nurse Xiao Zhu has a rich family, a doctorate degree, and a background of overseas returnees. Such qualifications are enough to become a mainstay in any major hospital in the country, and she will be well-paid.

How could she be a volunteer in our shabby mental hospital for three years without any income, and spend every day with these dirty mental patients? What is she trying to do... She can't be the same

Crazy?

Professor Liang said: She is a Christian!

At this time, a person in the mental hospital began to sing. At first, the singing was very weak, as if coming from a very far away place. Then, some people joined in singing and the sound became clearer. Then, more people in the mental hospital began to sing.

Chorus. They sang a Christian song without any soundtrack. This pure natural sound from the bottom of the heart, gathered together, gave people a feeling of washing the mind and purifying the soul.

No one spoke, everyone listened carefully. The singing became louder and louder, getting closer and closer. What these mentally ill patients sang was:

There are tears in my eyes, and I cannot see your face clearly, as if your words are not as true as before; you make me less so that you can add more, so that your will can be sweeter than before. I almost ask you to stop your hand, when I feel that I

I can no longer bear it; but you are God, how can you give in? Please don’t give in, wait for me to obey.

There are tears in my eyes, and I cannot see your face clearly. It seems that your words are not as true as before. You make me less so that you can increase more, so that your will can be sweeter than before. If your will and your joy depend on my responsibility,

Yoke of pain, may my joy consist in suffering in obedience to your will.

There are tears in my eyes and I can’t see your face clearly. It seems that your words are not as true as before...
