Coincidentally, in 2004, Lee Kappo established the first DNA database in Southeast Asia. People who committed crimes in Lee Kappo would have their DNA collected and have a criminal record.
In 08, Zhang Minghao committed a violent rape case and had his genetic data collected. However, due to the woman's inconsistent statements and the lack of key evidence, he could not be convicted and the case was dropped.
Afterwards, Zhang Minghao was released and returned safely to Chiang Mai.
"So how did you find out where your girlfriend's heart was?" Gu Ran asked curiously.
Li Tianzhi explained that he discovered his girlfriend had registered for organ donation after her death, and the registration information had been published in the medical information database.
He thought to himself that people who have received heart transplants must register for organ transplantation while waiting for a new heart.
So he hired hackers to hack into Siam's "Organ Transplant Registry" and matched the patients' blood types, antigens, and wives one by one. Those who matched were very likely people who had bought hearts on the black market.
The only person who matched the list was the wife of a Bangkok city councilor.
Of course, this was not 100% certain, so Li Tianzhi then located the medical professor who performed the surgery based on the timing of the Bangkok city councilor's wife's surgery and questioned him.
That medical professor performed live heart harvesting, so he had seen his girlfriend's face.
"That doctor accepted a million dollars to agree to perform that surgery. My girlfriend was still alive on the operating table... and this inhuman doctor... just went ahead and operated..."
As he spoke, Li Tianzhi burst into tears.
A grown man, crying his heart out.
A crow had landed on one of the surrounding trees at some point, and as if to accompany his misfortune, it also made a loud, hoarse sound.
Their duet was like a mournful song, a drop in the ocean of the mortal world, unnoticed by anyone.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Gu Ran didn't know how to comfort him, thinking that if Su Xiaoqiang died like this, she would probably feel even worse.
He sat silently beside Li Tianzhi, letting him vent his emotions.
“Before he died, the congressman told me that his wife was unaware of the situation and begged me to spare her. So, after killing the Bangkok congressman, I broke into his house and saw his wife, who was recovering from a serious illness, still fast asleep.” Li Tianzhi took a deep breath and continued, “I took the gun, intending to kill her as well, but the thought of my girlfriend’s heart still beating inside her chest made me unable to do it…”
So in the end, Li Tianzhi let the congressman's wife go.
But his revenge is not over yet. He wants to find the criminal gang that sells human organs and vows to wipe them out!
But after investigating for a long time, Li Tianzhi still couldn't find any trace of this criminal gang.
He initially suspected the Zhang family in Chiang Mai, but as Gu Ran said, the Zhang family in Chiang Mai had absolutely no involvement in the organ trade.
Before coming here, Gu Ran also received a reply from Executive Commissioner Xiao Shui. She and Johnson went to the local police station and asked several people with real power. They all said that the Zhang family in Chiang Mai was not involved in organ trafficking.
Horse stalls, fish ball stalls, shop stalls, and gambling stalls—the Zhang family's businesses are ubiquitous in Chiang Mai.
Li Tianzhi finished the last sip of liquor in the can, wiped away his tears, and said:
"Now that the story is over, how can I cooperate with you to uncover the organ trafficking criminal gang?"
Chapter 159 What do I need from you?
Gu Ran thought to himself, "Last night, when Zhang Minghao saw his father in trouble, he actually abandoned his own father and ran away. This kind of cowardly filial son is unlikely to commit a crime on his own. He might have asked his father for help."
So, could it be that Zhang Lin was doing business on his own, keeping it from the Zhang family in Chiang Mai?
Zhang Lin's Word of Power is Senluo, which can induce hallucinations and is most suitable for this kind of underground activity.
Just as Gu Ran was about to reveal his plans, a loud roar suddenly came from the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, two fighter jets flew rapidly overhead.
Gu Ran didn't know the type of fighter jet; he only saw them skimming over the mountains and flying over Chiang Mai city.
He looked in the direction the plane was heading and saw signal flares on the mountains at the other end of the city, specifically for nighttime marking.
The next second, two fighter jets flew over the signal markers and dropped bombs.
Then, a burst of fire.
A dazzling flame shot into the sky, and the sound of an explosion resounded throughout the city!
"Air raid? Is war about to break out?" Gu Ran was completely bewildered.
The two fighter jets shuttled back and forth toward the target, bombing it continuously until they had dropped all their bombs before leaving.
“What place is that…” Gu Ran looked at the mountains on the other side of the city, where fires were raging.
Li Tianzhi stared at that spot for a long time, then suddenly his face turned ashen.
He said, "I remember, the Zhang family's manor is over there."
……
Rewind to an hour earlier, at the Zhang Family Manor in Chiang Mai.
This manor covers a vast area, and the Zhang family's territory begins halfway up the mountain.
Ninety-year-old Zhang Yuanjie lay on a deck chair on the second-floor terrace, listening to the Siamese monks on the first floor chanting sutras to pray for the soul of his grandson, Zhang Minghao.
On the first floor, many people were crying and sobbing. The paper money and incense they burned were blown by the wind and spread everywhere. The smoke and black ash from the burning paper money danced in the wind and drifted in the sky.
Zhang Yuanjie casually tossed the ashes away.
For him, the death of a grandson was not a great loss, because he had three great-grandsons.
Zhang Minghao's grandson was a good-for-nothing; he didn't even have the power of words, so he just died.
However, his son Zhang Lin seemed to be very distressed, perhaps because he was his only son? Zhang Yuanjie didn't really understand his son. Zhang Lin was a womanizer, but he never had any offspring. He didn't remarry after his wife died. He seemed to have no intention of continuing the bloodline, but he was very concerned about the family business.
For the past few decades, his son has been managing the business, and he has done a good job. The money he has earned is more than he could spend in several lifetimes.
Zhang Yuanjie felt satisfied. No matter how much money he had, it was useless. People would eventually die, and enough was enough.
At this moment, a man dressed in a black Tang suit suddenly appeared behind Zhang Yuanjie.
“I’ve already said, I’m not interested in your plans, and I won’t reveal your whereabouts to the Zong family.” Zhang Yuanjie seemed to know who was behind him.
He continued calmly, "I have no interest in immortality. Living to be a hundred years old is enough. As for my children and grandchildren... after I die, they will have their own fortunes. If they are not fortunate enough... it is none of my business."
“Father, it’s selfish of you to think like that.” Zhang Lin then came up to the second floor.
The chanting downstairs suddenly stopped, and the surroundings became very quiet.
Zhang Lin stared at his father's retreating figure and said, "My second uncle and the others have finally obtained a secret recipe, and now all they need is..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Yuanjie slammed his hand down, shattering the glass side table beside him!
"How can you be so naive? The main family will always be the main family. Their bloodline is incomparably noble. Any one of them has a bloodline superior to ours. In our family, only you, who mutated and awakened, have the power of words in recent generations..."
“Father, you’re wrong,” Zhang Lin said. “My Word of Power wasn’t a mutation or awakening; I used a Golden Core!”
"Hmph, so that's how it is. You've been cooperating with them all along." Zhang Yuanjie suddenly realized why his son had suddenly gained the power of words at the age of forty.
Zhang Yuanjie shook his head and said to his son with a look of disappointment, "You're really confused. What right do those medicines that turn people into neither human nor ghost have to be called elixirs?"
"So we need Zhang Qiong, as long as she..."
"enough!"
Zhang Yuanjie stood up and looked at the man in the Tang suit behind his son: "You can leave now, as long as I'm alive..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp thorn pierced his heart and was immediately pulled out.
Instantly, a large amount of bright red blood gushed from Zhang Yuanjie's chest!
He instinctively clutched his bleeding chest, staring at his son in disbelief: "You...you guys..."
Zhang Lin held a sharp spike in his hand: "Father, I'm doing this for your own good!"
The man in the Tang suit then took out a small glass medicine bottle, about the size of a finger, from his pocket, placed it next to Zhang Yuanjie's chair, and said in a cold voice:
"Use this medicine and you'll have a chance to live. Whether you want to live or not is your choice."
Zhang Yuanjie felt his blood draining away rapidly, his body growing colder and colder, and his consciousness beginning to blur.
He stared at the bottle of medicine in front of him, then glanced at his son, and suddenly smiled.
“You… underestimate me.” Zhang Yuanjie picked up the glass bottle and threw it forcefully into the distance. “I’ve actually lived enough in this life. What’s the point of living so long? According to legend, when the Black King descends, everyone will die.”
Zhang Lin immediately leaped out and carefully caught the bottle of medicine.
This is a priceless medicine!
The man in the Tang suit never expected that Zhang Yuanjie would not be afraid of death. He stepped forward and slit Zhang Yuanjie's throat, giving him a quick death.
Zhang Lin picked up the medicine, stared at his father's corpse, and sneered, "Stubborn as ever. Why not live if you can? What's the use of dying? You can't do anything!"
Living longer means having more time to enjoy life and play with more women!
That old man really doesn't understand anything.
Zhang Lin looked at the man in the Tang suit and said, "Second Uncle, from now on, I will look up to you with utmost respect."
"You?" The man in the Tang suit stared at him disdainfully. "What use are you?"
Zhang Lin was slightly taken aback and said, "I have long since taken control of the Zhang family in Chiang Mai, and even the assassins in the Golden Triangle are all under my command."
"Heh, so you kidnapped that girl, did you succeed?"
Zhang Lin frowned and remained silent.
He orchestrated the attack to capture Susie, but he failed.
He never expected a girl to have such fighting power, and no one had told him.
"Assassin in the shadows, you can only mobilize ordinary people. You have no prestige among hybrids. Moreover, your incantations haven't improved over the years. Any B-rank member of the Secret Society can easily break through your illusions... So what use are you?"
"I..." Zhang Lin seemed to want to argue, but a sharp cleaver, with a whooshing sound, suddenly chopped off his head.
Chapter 160 Destroying corpses and eradicating traces
Zhang Lin's round head, with its wide-open eyes, rolled several times on the ground before getting stuck in the gap of the iron railing on the balcony.
The old croupier who had played dice with Gu Ran last night came out with a cleaver and respectfully approached the man in the Tang suit.
“Master, I have already recruited all the mixed-race assassins from the Zhang family in Chiang Mai.”
"Hmm, where are the other people in this household?"
“I’ve locked up the whole family in the manor.”
