Chapter 372: Chapter 259: Organ Transplant! Logical Closure!

"The victim, Li Guang, did not die due to medication; although the drugs smuggled by Li Ye were counterfeit, they did not have severe side effects."

"He was killed by blood extraction."

"He died from being completely drained of blood!!!"

Xu Liang spoke with a firm voice, his words echoed throughout the scene.

The moment the last word fell.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Judge Zhao Jiaqi and even the reporters in the gallery all wore a bewildered look, their eyes full of confusion.

Extract... drained?

What does it mean?

The reporters instinctively looked at plaintiff Han Chengguang, but Han Chengguang’s face also showed confusion; it was clear he had no idea about this matter!

Chai Shiring felt a sense of foreboding welling up inside him, looking at Han Chengguang, suppressing his inner panic, and asked softly.

"President Han, what is the hospital hiding?"

Blue Shield Law Firm knew from the start that the client was hiding something.

They just hadn’t pursued it in detail.

Could what Han Chengguang is hiding be what Xu Liang just mentioned?

"I... don’t know."

Han Chengguang was confused.

Don’t know? Really don’t know or just pretending?

Chai Shiring furrowed his brow, staring at the other party for a while, then nodded, realizing the other party was not deceiving him.

But this did not ease his mind.

Xu Liang was clearly prepared; the other party did not come to trial without doing any investigation; he must have found something while I was busy handling public opinion!

In other words, what the other party is going to say now... has a 90% chance of being true!

But if even Han Chengguang doesn’t know about this, does it mean... there’s another bombshell to come?

Suddenly, Chai Shiring’s chest heaved more violently, his breath anxious, and his hands unconsciously clenching.

For the first time, he felt that the three million commission fee was a bit too hot to handle...

Judge’s bench.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Jiaqi leaned to the judge beside him, asking softly.

He had a suspicion, but... he really didn’t dare to say it!

Impossible, the suspicion is too shocking, if it proves true... societal criticism could turn into a bomb, crushing anyone!

The two judges beside him did not speak, clearly aware of this too, Zhao Jiaqi helplessly looked at Xu Liang.

After a brief thought, he continued:

"The defendant, please proceed."

"You mentioned death by blood extraction... Is it a medical accident due to malpractice?"

Zhao Jiaqi asked tentatively.

"Honorable judge, before discussing, I need to present our investigation basis to form a logical closure."

Xu Liang showed a polite smile, then suddenly shifted the conversation:

"At the beginning, we didn’t know the cause of Li Guang’s death."

"After all, the autopsy report has detailed data showing the deceased Li Guang was under significant drug influence."

"However, what caught my attention was the fee notification about the corpse of Li Ye, who is also the father of Li Guang!"

With that, Xu Liang reached out, and Yang Ruoxi efficiently assisted by handing over the payment report Su Yu had retrieved.

He raised this document.

"Deceased Li Ye died of illness on April 2, 2005, at Qingshi City Tianshan Hospital, declared rescue failed in the emergency room at 2 PM."

"Yet... the document shows that the corpse was still having injection costs up to April 5, continuing until April 9!"

"In other words, this is..."

Saying this, Xu Liang suddenly turned to look sharply at Han Chengguang on the plaintiff’s side.

"Administering medication to the dead!"

"I want to ask the plaintiff side, does your Tianshan Hospital specialize in reviving corpses dead for seven days?!"

Administering medication to the dead....

The person is dead, the body lying in the morgue for a full seven days, yet the payment notification still shows ongoing medication treatment, injecting saline solution...

This... this... this...

Suddenly.

The scene was in shock, everyone realized what this implies.

Fraudulent billing!

It’s one of the explosive points about hospitals, where internal staff see patients as cash cows, intending to exploit them for profit!!!

Other hospitals might just have higher costs, but Tianshan Hospital...

Administering drugs to the dead!

Absurd... the whole process boils down to the word absurd, making one feel crazy...

No, it’s the world that’s crazy!

The clerk quickly took the document, made a brief check, and handed it over promptly, eye twitching.

"Fraudulent billing..."

On the judge’s bench, a judge furrowed his brow after reading the document, muttering to himself.

Feeling a slight headache afterward.

"Tianshan Hospital has truly lost it..."

Zhao Jiaqi’s face looked as if he had swallowed fly poop, with the disclosure of this, the case became even more complex, turning entirely chaotic!

"Administering drugs to the dead..."

"Do you really have no fear of being caught!?"

As he spoke, the eyes of several judges and all those in the gallery occasionally aimed at the plaintiff’s side.

Han Chengguang’s face sank, under the scrutiny of those around him, he was at a loss for words.

Chai Shiring, however, looked terrifyingly pale.

He kept focusing on Li Guang’s so-called death by extraction, intuition told him the other party was laying groundwork, and indeed, the next second, his ears caught clear voices again.

"April 2 to April 9."

"The billing of the deceased Li Ye clearly has loopholes, my intention was: to carefully investigate the hospital’s fraudulent billing against Li Ye, and calculate the specific total losses of our client Feng Nan."

"But just as I started investigating April 2, not yet delved deeply, I..."

"Suddenly discovered a loophole."

Xu Liang’s calm voice still echoed in the trial scene.

Everyone held their breaths, afraid to make a sound that might disrupt him.

"On the afternoon of April 2 at 2 o’clock, the hospital’s emergency room declared Li Ye’s death due to failed rescue."

"According to regulations, Li Ye should have been moved out of the emergency room within half an hour, that is between 2:30 and 3 PM in the afternoon, but the information I discovered showed... Li Ye’s body was actually moved out of the emergency room at 5:30 PM!"

"That means, compared to the theoretical time, there was nearly a three-hour delay!"

When a person is pronounced dead after rescue attempts in the emergency room, the body is quickly cleared and removed to avoid affecting the treatment of the living.

After all, hospitals capable of performing major surgeries have tight schedules for the operating rooms, let alone the emergency room.

Patients can appear at any moment!

Yet the body lay there for an extra three hours, which is highly unreasonable...

An accident?

No, it couldn’t be an accident!

Was it intentional, because the body was difficult to suture?

Only surgeries require significant suturing time; internal medicine bodies are usually intact and can be moved out directly!

So...

"Our side started a detailed investigation on the body and finally found clues hidden in the deceased Li Ye’s eyes."

Xu Liang spoke while once again pulling out some photos and an autopsy report.

This autopsy report was Li Ye’s, and the photos were taken on the day the case was received at the morgue.

The clerk took the photos.

The photos showed the front part of the corpse’s eyeballs appearing sunken, and the eyelids couldn’t completely close.

But this was very subtle, even upon close inspection it was hard to notice, unless...

Thorough investigation!

Xu Liang’s gaze hardened, blurting out:

"The deceased Li Ye, both eyes..."

"Missing the corneas!!!"

Missing corneas...

Suddenly!

It was like a bomb exploding in the crowd, in an instant, the scene became chaotic.

"Missing corneas!? Did Li Ye sign a cornea donation before dying?"

"Sign for what?! If he signed then the disappearance of his corneas would be quite reasonable, how could this information even appear in court!?"

"But the corneas did disappear!"

"The corneas only serve one purpose, that is transplantation, and the time of cornea removal is often within two hours post-mortem, Li Ye died in the hospital, the body was also in the hospital, so the person who removed the corneas is..."

"A doctor!?"

As people thought for a moment, they were immediately bewildered.

The hospital secretly removed the corneas and proceeded with a corneal transplant!!!

Mad... insane!

This is truly insane!!!

"This isn’t a legal transplant, it’s illegal organ transplantation!!!"

"Wasn’t Li Ye suffering from leukemia? Can organs from leukemia patients be transplanted?"

"Corneas contain no blood!"

"No, outrageous charges, injecting corpses, and even transplanting corneas..."

The noisy voices kept ringing in their ears.

"President Han..."

In the plaintiff’s seat, Chai Shiring looked at Han Chengguang, his face extremely gloomy.

His hands tightly clenched.

Han Chengguang wasn’t feeling much better emotionally.

He was a pharmaceutical company owner, and he didn’t care about organ transplant business at all!

But...

The information provided by the other party was too complete, the body was in the hospital, and also in the emergency room.

Five hours later, the opposite party’s corneas disappeared before the body was sent to the morgue... Even Han Chengguang, the owner behind Tianshan Hospital, could not fully disassociate himself or the hospital from this matter!

"Damn Liu Hui..."

Han Chengguang cursed, instantly thinking of the suspect behind this action.

Seeing this.

Chai Shiring’s face became even uglier, he took a deep breath, and suddenly spoke aloud:

"President Han, this is not the main point."

Not... not the main point?

Han Chengguang paused slightly, furrowing his brows.

Organ transplantation isn’t the main point!?

Chai Shiring spoke gravely:

"Li Guang... this is to set the stage for Li Guang!!!"

He might be bad or even wicked, and perhaps his thinking is extreme, but... undeniably, he isn’t foolish enough to have taken Blue Shield Law Firm to this level!

Chai Shiring was very shrewd, a qualified businessman with a quick mind.

He could see that the so-called organ transplant was merely a pretext; the real killer move... hid in the back!

"Set... set the stage?"

Han Chengguang froze, and the next second, recalled what Xu Liang previously said, and suddenly became astonishingly shocked, nearly jumping up.

Then he looked up, staring fixedly at Xu Liang.

And the next second.

He saw Xu Liang speak.

"That is to say, Tianshan Hospital is involved in illegal organ transplants, and possibly even organ trafficking on the black market!"

"Then I’m wondering if the circumstances surrounding Li Guang’s death are equally suspicious, and if there is any connection here?"

Saying this.

Xu Liang suddenly smiled, his demeanor mild, his tone full of friendliness, looking at the plaintiff side.

The smile was bright, with such an appearance, he could easily charm many young schoolgirls if he were on campus.

But....

This is a courtroom.

Chai Shiring didn’t find the smile appealing; on the contrary, he felt some horror, as if staring at a smiling tiger... no, even more sinister than a smiling tiger!

This three million....

It’s truly burning his hands.

Chai Shiring’s hands were clenched tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, his face steel-blue.

But Xu Liang wasn’t giving him much time to react.

The next second, he heard the other’s voice in his ear.

"And with this thought.... "

"Alas, I happened to find out something."
