Chapter 182: The Drug Trafficking Organization’s Money Laundering Methods, and Fang Yuwei’s Heartfelt Confession

At this moment, in another line of action.

Lin Tian and Lan Jing, on their way to Taicang City, had arrived at Qingyang Criminal Investigation Team, ready to begin cracking the case related to Fang Yuwei.

Since Lin Tian had made prior arrangements, Huang Qiang didn’t bother to prepare a special meeting room. He met the two of them in the parking lot, exchanged a brief handshake and greeting, and then, while walking toward the temporary mediation room where Fang Yuwei was being held, he began to share the results of his recent interrogation of Li Bin.

“Director Lin, Dr. Lan.”

“I’ve already conducted a surprise interrogation of Li Bin. We can now basically confirm that he has no connection with the drug trafficking organization.”

“Or rather, he doesn’t know he’s working for the drug organization.”

“From what we extracted from his testimony just now, the reason he was instructed to kill Fang Yuwei was because of the behind-the-scenes boss of Guangming Hospital.”

“Not long before our raid, he received an international call from the boss of Guangming Hospital, who said…”

“Fang Yuwei could no longer afford her medical bills, and it wasn’t necessary to keep her alive. The boss asked Li Bin to quietly take care of her to reduce the hospital’s costs.”

“Although Li Bin is timid and has never killed anyone before, he didn’t dare refuse the request from the boss behind the scenes.”

“So, he reluctantly planned to stage her death as a medical accident due to over-treatment, and use his position as hospital director to cover it up.”

At this point.

Lin Tian, with his wealth of experience, immediately considered deeper details and spoke softly.

“Huang, if what you’re saying is true…”

“Then, if nothing unexpected has happened, Li Bin must have been pushed to the position of hospital director by the behind-the-scenes boss of Guangming Hospital, which is K, only in the past few years?”

“His medical skills and experience aren’t enough, but because he’s easy to control and listens well, K placed him as the director of Guangming Hospital.”

“Since Guangming Hospital is a private institution, K has complete authority to appoint the director. Li Bin wouldn’t dare to defy his orders.”

“Moreover, over the past few years, Li Bin has gained many benefits and social status through his position, so naturally, he’s reluctant to give up his position.”

“So even when K orders him to kill, he can only reluctantly agree and act.”

Lin Tian paused and looked at Huang Qiang with a hint of confusion before continuing his inquiry.

“Huang, if we trace the identity of the boss behind Guangming Hospital, could we possibly uncover K’s identity?”

“If we can confirm K’s identity, it would greatly help us in advancing our investigation into this drug trafficking organization.”

Huang Qiang gently shook his head, then answered with a hint of helplessness.

“We can’t track it, Director Lin.”

“I already had officers from the Criminal Investigation Technology Department try to trace the boss behind Guangming Hospital.”

“But it’s impossible to find anything because it’s all controlled through overseas investment companies. The people shown publicly are just foreign professional managers.”

“Most likely, Guangming Hospital is just a money laundering operation for K. They use illegal profits to buy expensive imported medications, then launder the money through the private hospital’s operations.”

“Any illicit funds can be cleaned up through domestic insurance and patient payments.”

“I estimate that there are many such money laundering operations in our country, not just Guangming Hospital, which is enough to sustain their expenses.”

As Huang Qiang finished speaking, he stopped and gestured toward the mediation room.

“Director Lin, Dr. Lan.”

“Fang Yuwei is inside, still in a state of shock. We’ve assigned a female officer to watch over her.”

“Of course, we’re also concerned she might do something drastic.”

He then turned the handle and opened the door to the mediation room. He waved at the female officer inside, signaling that she could leave.

Lin Tian and Lan Jing followed Huang Qiang into the room and immediately saw Fang Yuwei, who was trembling despite wearing a thick down jacket.

In their view.

Fang Yuwei had short, easy-to-manage hair. Her features bore some resemblance to Bomber, but with a gentler touch.

Her long-term illness and frequent hospitalizations had left her skin pale, her slender eyelashes and trembling, frail body evoking a sense of protectiveness.

She was a girl who had been ill and hospitalized since she was ten.

No childhood, no friends, no schooling, and no parental love. Even her only important older brother had already passed away.

Lin Tian gave a look to Lan Jing, signaling her to handle the situation, then sat with Huang Qiang in a corner, not wanting to add too much pressure on Fang Yuwei by their mere presence.

At this moment.

Lan Jing, adjusting her black-framed glasses habitually, assessed Fang Yuwei’s current condition, thinking for two seconds in her mind.

She then sat next to Fang Yuwei, who was gripping her fists tightly, still trembling uncontrollably. In a soft voice, she spoke.

“Your brother, Fang Yulin.”

“He passed away just a few hours ago due to a special accident.”

“I know this might hit you hard, but I believe you have the right to know.”

“After all… before he died, the person he worried about the most was actually you.”

“He hoped you could grow up healthy and focus on healing your illness, so that he could leave in peace.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuwei froze for a moment. Her trembling became more pronounced, and she gripped her fists even tighter.

She wanted to cry… she really wanted to cry.

But she somehow realized she couldn’t bring herself to cry. She only felt an emptiness in her heart, as if she should have already died.

Maybe then her brother wouldn’t have had to go through this. Maybe he would have already married and had children by now.

At this thought.

Fang Yuwei felt as though her heart was being squeezed in pain, but she still endured the sadness and looked at Lan Jing.

“Sister… sister.”

“Can you… can you really tell me, really tell me?”

“How did my brother die? Was it really an accident, or was he murdered?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything. I just want to know… know if he suffered before he left, or if he was able to go peacefully in the end.”

These words.

Made Lan Jing furrow her brows as she thought carefully about how to respond, so as not to hinder Fang Yuwei, who had finally spoken up.

But the anguished Fang Yuwei could no longer wait. She choked up and said.

“Sister… sister.”

“I know, I know my brother… he’s not a good person in your eyes.”

“But he… he’s my most important, most important brother, the one who walked down that path for me.”

“So please, please tell me the exact situation back then.”

“I’ll cooperate with you. I will tell you everything. I’ll even tell you who the boss was that led my brother down that path.”

“I just want to know… know… know if he suffered during the last part of his journey…”
