Episode 25 recap: Qi Heng went to Matou Village alone to investigate.
In court, Gao Deng Shui revealed a major secret: Jiang Zhengxin told him two years ago that organ transplantation would cost 40,000 yuan, but the surgery itself would cost 200,000 yuan. Later, Gao Deng Shui realized that the place where he underwent surgery was not a normal hospital, but an underground operating room. He was blindfolded and found himself on the operating table when he opened his eyes.
Gao Deng Shui underwent the surgery in a daze. However, during his wedding, he realized that he had rushed into marriage with his girlfriend of less than a month without considering his own health. Since Gao Deng Shui had lost contact with his family a long time ago, he hired actors to pretend to be his family members to maintain appearances. However, on that day, his surgical wound was causing him intense pain, so he couldn't bear it and went to the restroom, which eventually led him to the hospital.
Later, Gao Deng Shui learned from Jiang Zhengxin that his body had developed rejection reactions and was beyond treatment. Out of anger, Gao Deng Shui decided to assassinate Jiang Zhengxin. He didn't reveal these events at the police station because he was afraid of being protected by someone. He was determined to expose Jiang's true face in court.
As the presiding judge, Liu Yueyang decided to schedule the sentencing for another day. During this time, court personnel started to verify the information provided by Gao Deng Shui, aiming to find out whether Jiang Zhengxin had indeed been involved in illegal organ surgeries. Qi Heng went to the police station to inquire and learned that a large amount of cash, bank cards, and even mortgaged properties were found at Jiang Zhengxin's home.
It seemed that Jiang Zhengxin had been acting as a middleman in the black market, engaging in unethical organ transplantations and deceiving patients. Qi Heng called Ma La Song to visit the hospital under the guise of inquiring about Jiang Xinzheng's condition. However, when Jiang Xinzheng saw the presence of the police, he attempted to escape but ended up aggravating his wound, leading to septicemia. He was declared dead one week later.
Gao Deng Shui was sentenced to three years in prison for intentional harm. Knowing that his own life expectancy was limited, Gao Deng Shui also signed an organ donation agreement while in prison. He knew that he wouldn't live much longer either. In fact, Gao Deng Shui had suffered from renal failure due to cadmium poisoning. He had been working since the age of sixteen and had always hoped to find his family.
While working at Jiangyun Chemical Factory, he discovered that they were secretly discharging toxic wastewater and gases, causing chronic poisoning among many workers. At the time, he thought that as long as he didn't consume food from there, it would be fine. However, he didn't expect that he would still be affected by the toxic gases.
I always wanted to see my family, but I never had the chance to even meet them. At first, the reason I didn't speak up was that I wanted to live my life without complications. But now that I'm dying, there's no need to hide it from others. Doing good deeds is worth it, and it's a way to accumulate merits. Qi Heng stated that he would definitely report these circumstances to the relevant authorities. Qi Heng didn't expect that there would be so many issues behind this incident.
Qi Heng remembered that his wife also had an important news event on the weekend and had to leave in a hurry, even though they had planned to go on a picnic. Qi Heng went to his wife's workplace to find out what news she was investigating back then. But from the current president's account, he learned that only Guo Nian and the former president had conducted the investigation. Guo Nian disappeared a few days later, and the former president passed away due to a sudden heart attack.
The president mentioned that they had an employee named Hu Bai who seemed to have discovered the news Guo Nian was investigating. Qi Heng was surprised to hear Hu Bai's name because Hu Bai was also one of the people on the fishing boat, and there were still some doubts surrounding Hu Bai's death.
The president told Qi Heng that Hu Bai had mentioned wanting to go to Matou Village to find out the mystery behind Guo Nian's disappearance. After returning, Qi Heng asked Guo Lun if he still remembered what his sister was doing and what he saw in the car when she took him to Matou Village. Guo Lun said he felt like his sister was holding a detection device and looking for something, and the villagers didn't like her. Qi Heng had a faint feeling that he was getting closer to the truth.
Guo Lun thought that Ma La Song also knew about Qi Heng's investigation, so he went to ask her, but through tracking, they discovered that Qi Heng had gone to Matou Village. In the village, Qi Heng happened to see a couple arguing, and they were also arguing in the hospital over medical treatment.
After investigating, Qi Heng discovered that all these sick people had previously worked at the factory, and the healthy women had all run away. Qi Heng gave the couple some nutritional supplements from his car and deliberately asked about his wife. But when they heard that he was a female journalist, they drove him away. Qi Heng also knew that this matter was definitely not simple.
