When Yu Hanjiang arrived at Xu Fangfang's house, the hearse was just there to pick up her grandfather's body. Xu Fangfang had cried for a long time yesterday, but her emotions were relatively calm today. After she said goodbye to the old man's body, Yu Hanjiang stepped forward and showed his police ID: "Hello, Ms. Xu, I have some questions I would like to ask you. I hope you can assist with the investigation."
The man in front of me wasn't wearing a police uniform, but rather civilian clothes: a dark gray sweater underneath and a light gray long coat over it, which accentuated his tall and upright figure.
Seeing the police ID in his hand, Xu Fangfang was clearly stunned: "Police? What do you want with me?"
Yu Hanjiang asked directly, "Do you know Wang Wei?"
A flicker of panic crossed Xu Fangfang's eyes, and she quickly looked away, saying, "I don't know her."
"Think about it again carefully."
Xu Fangfang shook her head firmly: "I don't know him!"
"Ms. Xu, I hope you will think carefully before answering." Yu Hanjiang took out a photo of Wang Wei from his phone and placed it directly in front of Xu Fangfang. He said in a low voice, " Wang Wei, 28 years old, a food delivery driver. You and he were a couple. On your 24th birthday last October 8th, he gave you a necklace, the one you are wearing around your neck, right? In November, he suddenly broke up with you."
Yu Hanjiang looked calmly at the girl in front of him: "Do I need to continue?"
"..." As if recalling the past, Xu Fangfang's body suddenly trembled violently. She covered her head with her hands, squatted down on the ground in anguish, and choked out, "How do you know all this?"
"The police have their own ways of investigating. Ms. Xu, please come with me," Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice.
"Fangfang, who's looking for you?" An old woman came out of the house and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Grandma, I'm the captain of the Criminal Police Detachment. How much do you know about Wang Wei?" Yu Hanjiang asked as he approached the old lady.
"Xiao Wang was a very sensible and filial child. I have high blood pressure, and he often buys medicine for me and brings it to me. Sometimes when my wife and I have difficulty walking, he also brings us groceries and meals on his way... Why are you asking about him? Officer, has he done something wrong?" The old lady looked puzzled, clearly unaware that Wang Wei had died.
"..." Xu Fangfang held back her tears and choked out, "Grandma, don't worry, Wang Wei is fine. The police just wanted to investigate some things about the food delivery company. I'll be right back."
She insisted on helping the old lady into the house before going out to catch up with Yu Hanjiang.
Yu Hanjiang had a colleague drive her back to the Police Station to formally give a statement.
In the interrogation room, Xu Fangfang had composed herself and recounted her experience of meeting and breaking up with Wang Wei to Yu Hanjiang.
Three years ago, on a rainy night, Xu Fangfang was on night shift at the hospital.
That day, an elderly person was suffering an acute myocardial infarction and needed emergency treatment. She was so busy that she didn't have time to eat dinner, and it wasn't until midnight that she felt hungry and ordered takeout. The delivery person was Wang Wei.
The young man was handsome and braved the rain to deliver food. His clothes were soaked, but his smile was incredibly kind. He handed her the food and said, "Working the night shift? You must be tired. I rushed to deliver it. The food is still warm. Eat it quickly."
Xu Fangfang opened the food container, and the steaming hot food looked just like it had been freshly cooked. The delivery guy was obviously rushing to deliver the food, and the heavy rain couldn't stop him.
Xu Fangfang felt a warmth in her heart and casually said, "You deliver food and you have to work the night shift, right? Be careful traveling in the rain!"
Wang Wei smiled and said, "Thank you. I have another order to deliver. Enjoy your meal."
He turned and left, his steps hurried, his tall and upright figure leaving Xu Fangfang with a very good first impression. Afterwards, Xu Fangfang worked several night shifts, and Wang Wei always delivered her takeout, as he was also working night shifts during that period. The two gradually became acquainted. Whenever Wang Wei saw that the person ordering takeout was Ms. Xu from the Cardiovascular Surgery Department, he would buy Xu Fangfang's favorite milk tea, or snacks like chocolate or preserved plums on his way and deliver them to her.
That was one of the few moments of warmth Xu Fangfang could feel in the dead of night.
A month later, the two naturally got together. Due to his company's arrangement, Wang Wei was transferred to the area of the farmers' market, which was far from the hospital where Xu Fangfang worked, so he couldn't deliver food to her. However, Xu Fangfang's grandparents lived nearby, so Wang Wei often delivered food to the two elderly people, and soon gained the approval of Xu Fangfang's family.
Yu Hanjiang frowned as he wrote this down, and asked in a low voice, "You two have such a good relationship, and Wang Wei seems like a trustworthy man. When he suddenly said he wanted to break up, didn't you have any doubts?"
Xu Fangfang lowered her head and said softly, "I had just finished my night shift that day and was already very tired. He texted me saying that he had been with me for too long and was getting tired of me, and had fallen for another woman at his workplace. What could I do? No girl can forgive her boyfriend for falling for someone else. His reason was enough for me to break up with him."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Did he propose to you?"
Xu Fangfang shook her head: "No."
Yu Hanjiang found a shopping record from a department store: "This diamond ring was bought by Wang Wei from a department store on November 13th last year. It's worth 10 million gold coins, and the inner band of the ring is engraved with the letters 'WW&XFF.' Obviously, this was an engagement ring for you. He just bought an expensive diamond ring on the 13th, but on the 17th he said he wanted to break up with you."
"Hands, how do you explain that?"
Xu Fangfang's face was deathly pale, and she clenched her fingers tightly.
She hadn't expected the police investigation to be so swift, even uncovering Wang Wei's spending records. Buying a diamond ring on the 13th and breaking up with him on the 17th with the excuse that "I've fallen for someone else"—it just didn't make sense.
Before Xu Fangfang could sort out her thoughts, she heard Yu Hanjiang say calmly, " Wang Wei is dead, you should know that, right?"
Xu Fangfang suddenly looked up, her voice trembling as she asked, "Wh-what? He's dead?"
Yu Hanjiang pushed the fingerprint analysis results of the body parts in front of her: " Wang Wei's body was found in the garbage dump on February 2nd. I know this scene is somewhat cruel to you, but we also hope that you can cooperate with the police to solve the case as soon as possible and find the real killer of Wang Wei. You are still lying, do you want Wang Wei to die with regrets?"
The forensic report contained many photos from the scene, including one of Wang Wei's hands.
The severed hand had charred marks on one side, but the five fingers were intact. After comparing DNA and fingerprints, the police confirmed that the hand belonged to the food delivery worker, Wang Wei.
Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, " Do Wang Wei's hands look familiar?"
Xu Fangfang: "..."
The visual impact of the clear photos of the corpse completely broke Xu Fangfang.
That hand that once held hers so tenderly was now severed off, mostly burned...
Xu Fangfang pressed her stomach, crying and vomiting at the same time. Yu Hanjiang gave her a look, signaling a policewoman to take her to the restroom to vomit. Xu Fangfang almost vomited up her entire stomach, but unfortunately she hadn't eaten anything that morning, so she could only vomit bile.
Ten minutes later, Xu Fangfang returned to the interrogation room, her face as pale as paper, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
Yu Hanjiang looked at her calmly: "Have you thought it through? Will you continue to hide it, or cooperate with us to find the real culprit who killed Wang Wei?"
Xu Fangfang: "..."
Her female colleague looked at her with some sympathy. Yu Hanjiang's interrogation method was like a knife to the heart—using pictures of corpses to provoke Xu Fangfang. If Xu Fangfang really loved Wang Wei, seeing pictures of his corpse would indeed cause her to have a mental breakdown.
Xu Fangfang stopped insisting and said with a pale face, "Can you... really help me find the real culprit?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Of course, the police rely on evidence when handling cases. We won't mislead you like someone did, putting hatred on Shao Qingge, who received a kidney transplant. In fact, you know that the culprit is not Shao Qingge, but the person who performed the surgery on him."
Xu Fangfang's eyes widened, her mouth gaped open wide enough to fit a duck egg, her face filled with shock, unable to believe that Yu Hanjiang knew so much.
The latter remained calm, his deep voice devoid of any emotion, and slowly said, "You almost attacked Shao Qingge at the hospital, was it because Shao Qingge's kidney actually came from Wang Wei?"
Xu Fangfang's lips trembled violently: "How...how do you know all this?"
Yu Hanjiang was only guessing, but Xu Fangfang's words made his guess seem true.
On the way to Xu Fangfang's house, his colleague sent him Wang Wei's bank statement, which confirmed that Wang Wei's bank account only contained his monthly salary and no other income. His savings were simply insufficient to buy such an expensive diamond ring.
Shao Qingge's father once mentioned that Shao Qingge's kidney was purchased for 200,000 yuan (RMB) in cash. However, the department store's investigation records show that the limited edition "You Are My Life" diamond ring was bought in cash last November. As Liu Qiao said, the inner band of the ring was indeed engraved with the letters "WW&XFF".
Could Wang Wei's cash have come from the Shao family? He sold his kidney, obtained a large sum of cash, and bought this diamond ring. Xu Fangfang somehow found out about this and wanted to kill Shao Qingge in revenge; this would make sense in the logical connection.
Like a telepathic connection, the next moment Yu Hanjiang's phone received a WeChat message from Xiao Lou: "The gene comparison results are out. The genes from CEO Shao's kidney tissue are completely consistent with the genes obtained from Wang Wei's corpse."
Yu Hanjiang put down his phone and looked at Xu Fangfang, saying, "Ms. Xu, tell me everything you know. What exactly did Wang Wei do last November? Also, who told you that Shao Qingge was the beneficiary of his kidney?"
Xu Fangfang gritted her teeth and, after a struggle, said in a trembling voice, "I... I always thought that Wei broke up with me because he fell in love with another woman. That's what he told me back then, so I blocked him in a fit of anger. It wasn't until half a month later that I found out that he had his own reasons for saying that."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, encouraging her to continue.
Xu Fangfang took a deep breath to gather her thoughts and continued, "Last November, we were preparing for our wedding. We were shopping at a department store, and the sales assistant recommended a diamond ring to me. I thought it was pretty, so I tried it on and really liked it. But when the sales assistant mentioned the price, I was shocked and quickly pulled Wei away. After leaving the department store, Wei asked me if I liked the diamond ring. I said I did, but I couldn't afford it, so we should just buy a simple ring. He didn't say anything, and I didn't think much of it."
"At the time, I didn't know that his mother had stomach cancer and needed surgery. Fortunately, it was in the early stage. The doctor said that early-stage stomach cancer is easier to treat, but the surgery is very expensive. Neither of his parents worked, and the family didn't have much savings. Maybe that's why he thought of… selling his kidney."
At this point, Xu Fangfang was already sobbing uncontrollably: "I don't know where he saw the news, he must have been scammed! Sold..."
After the kidney transplant, he used some of the money for his mother's surgery, some to buy a diamond ring, and the rest to prepare for the wedding..."
"However, not long after his surgery, he developed serious complications. His mother said that he had to go to the toilet for a long time and that there was blood in his urine. His mother urged him to go to the hospital for treatment, but he was afraid that I would find out, so he went to another hospital for examination. As a result, he developed chronic kidney failure and a serious urinary tract infection... He was worried that he would implicate me, so he deliberately said that he wanted to break up with me."
Xu Fangfang buried her face in her hands; her entire face was smeared with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Yu Hanjiang sighed inwardly and handed her a pack of tissues.
After she calmed down a bit, Yu Hanjiang asked, "Did you learn all this information from his mother?"
Xu Fangfang nodded, her voice choked with emotion: "Yes, the ring was given to me by his mother. After the diagnosis, he left the city, and we couldn't find him until January of this year when his friend told me that Wang Wei was dead."
Yu Hanjiang immediately became alert: "Friends? What friends?"
Xu Fangfang opened WeChat, found a profile picture of a blue sky and white clouds, and said, "He said he was a good friend from when we were delivering food. Wang Wei has only been in contact with him lately, and he even showed me their chat history. Wang Wei's condition is progressing rapidly, and he is in a lot of pain every day. He couldn't take it anymore... and left a suicide note."
Yu Hanjiang took Xu Fangfang's phone and looked at her chat history with the other party.
The person with the profile picture of blue sky and white clouds and the WeChat ID " clear sky " likely photoshopped their chat screenshots with Wang Wei and the will. Wang Wei's death was far more serious than suicide. He also told Xu Fangfang that Wang Wei donated his kidney to Shao Qingge, the only son of the Shao family, and that the Shao family had deceived Wang Wei, causing serious complications during surgery and leading to his painful death.
This statement clearly targets the wealthy Shao family.
Xu Fangfang lowered her head and said, "A few days ago, Shao Qingge actually moved into our ward. What a karmic cycle! I was too extreme at the time. I thought Shao Qingge killed Wang Wei. Plus, my grandfather's death that day was a huge blow to me. I didn't want to live anymore, so I wanted to drag Shao Qingge down with me."
Yu Hanjiang felt a chill run down his spine. If Xiao Lou hadn't acted quickly enough, CEO Shao might not have woken up this time.
He said with a stern face, "You're also a medical student, don't you know that if a kidney transplant is performed well, it doesn't have much impact on the person who has their kidney removed? The culprit isn't Shao Qingge who bought the kidney, but the person who performed the surgery on Wang Wei!"
Xu Fangfang lowered her head in shame: "I know, I actually figured it out after I got back, which is why I'm willing to cooperate with your investigation. That's all I know, I'm not hiding anything else."
Xu Fangfang's testimony provided Yu Hanjiang with many clues.
First, Wang Wei was also a victim of organ transplantation. The surgeon at that illegal clinic was incompetent, which led to serious postoperative complications. Wang Wei fled reality and left the city. It is highly likely that the illegal clinic killed him to silence him, fearing he would reveal their secrets.
Secondly, the person who contacted Xu Fangfang is unlikely to be from the illegal clinic. People from illegal clinics are too busy hiding to actively contact the victim's family. This person with the ID " clear sky " may also be a victim or a relative of a victim. He may have the channels to find out the whereabouts of organ trafficking and be filled with hatred for the beneficiaries of organ trafficking.
It is very likely that he is related to the first " Cheng Shaoyu dismemberment case", because Cheng Shaoyu was also a recipient of a heart transplant.
Xu Fangfang cannot leave for the time being. She has at least attempted murder against Shao Qingge, and Yu Hanjiang will not let her return to the hospital to continue threatening CEO Shao.
After temporarily detaining Xu Fangfang, Yu Hanjiang posted the results of today's interrogation in the group chat.
Xiao Lou said, "This ' clear sky ' knows a lot. He can accurately pinpoint the donor and recipient in all organ transplant cases. He knows that CEO Shao's kidney came from Wang Wei, so naturally he also knows who Cheng Shaoyu's heart came from."
Yu Hanjiang agreed: "We can investigate in reverse. As long as we find the source of Cheng Shaoyu's heart, this ' clear sky ' could be a relative of the victim. His loved one died after having his heart removed, and he was filled with hatred for Cheng Shaoyu, who continued to live using his loved one's heart. Therefore, he carried out a cruel revenge on Cheng Shaoyu —dismembering and disposing of the body."
Shao Qingge said with a headache, "Does that mean that the murderer in the Cheng Shaoyu case, one of these two related cases, is very likely this ' clear sky ' or someone closely related to him? And the organ transplant organization that has harmed countless people has not yet been found?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "They are well-informed. The Cheng Shaoyu case will definitely alert them, and their personnel should have already left. However, I can pinpoint their approximate hideout."
Following that, Yu Hanjiang outlined the next steps: " Liu Qiao, immediately return to the Hospital and, together with Xiao Lou, investigate Cheng Shaoyu's heart source with all your might; CEO Shao, investigate your father's assistant's line as soon as possible and try to contact Uncle Zhong, who bought you the kidney. Xiao Ye, Lao Mo, and Long Qu, meet at the food court opposite the farmers' market at dinner time. After dark, we'll explore the Antai Garden community together."
Everyone typed in unison in the group chat: "Received!"
