Zuo Mu felt his hand getting a bit moist. When he pulled it back, he saw that Tang Tang's eyes were wet.
Now that their relationship was out in the open, Zuo Mu told Tang Tang frankly what he had heard from Zhang Kai.
"This organ is no ordinary thing. It's related to this year's major case. And Zhang Kai checked the records of the past few years. He did find that someone had purchased this machine."
"Moreover, Tang Gu's disappearance obviously makes people suspect he fled out of guilt. The higher - ups mean to close the case as soon as possible."
Tang Tang frowned. "As soon as possible?"
Zuo Mu sighed. "You'd better ask Shen Tian about this. These recent cases are too involved and draw a lot of public attention. Everyone is afraid of being held responsible, so the public is in a panic. The higher - ups want to appease the public."
"Right now, do all the clues point to my dad?"
Zuo Mu paused for a moment, rubbed his temples in frustration, and nodded helplessly. "Yes."
Tang Tang had already guessed it. "I see."
Zuo Mu felt quite sorry for her. He reached out and squeezed Tang Tang's hand. "Don't worry. Zhang Kai and I know what's going on. We just need a bit of time. By the way, when you went out with Shen Tian, is the case in the suburbs related to Shen Tian?"
Tang Tang looked up at Zuo Mu. "I did ask about this, but Shen Tian said no. I don't know if it's true or not, but we can't rule out one possibility."
"Someone is trying to muddy the waters."
Tang Tang frowned. This was a tough nut to crack.
"By the way, this was given to me by Shen Tian."
She took out a USB flash drive from her pocket. "I haven't had a chance to look at it yet."
Zuo Mu glanced at the USB flash drive but said nothing. He took Tang Tang home.
Zuo Mu didn't have much hope at first. After all, Shen Tian was a careless and moody guy. When he was in a good mood, everything was negotiable; when he was in a bad mood...
But unexpectedly, the USB flash drive was full of data.
All of it was left by Tang Gu, including information about the instrument, some chat records with others, and the email addresses of several hospital executives he had investigated.
Among them were three members of the hospital's board of directors.
These people were quite evenly distributed, from the directors at the top to the head nurse at the bottom, and there were also two security guards.
Tang Gu should have started investigating this a long time ago, and he was smart enough to leave evidence.
Tang Tang frowned and turned to look at Zuo Mu. "Is this useful?"
"Very useful." Zuo Mu said seriously. He pressed the keyboard twice to print out these documents, then called Zhang Kai and asked him to monitor the financial situation of the directors.
Zhang Kai didn't waste any words. He directly told his subordinates to do it.
Then he rushed from the office to Zuo Mu's home as fast as he could and studied the newly - obtained documents with Zuo Mu.
The two cooperated seamlessly. They found that the head nurse had received two particularly large sums of money this year, and both were transferred to one account.
At the same time, the directors were the same.
They were all transferring money to the same card number.
Zhang Kai immediately told his subordinates to investigate. They burned the midnight oil until dawn. Tang Tang couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the sofa.
Half - awake and half - asleep, Tang Tang heard the sound of a water cup hitting the ground with a thud. She was startled.
"Are you awake? Did I scare you?"
Zuo Mu was sitting next to Tang Tang. He reached out and stroked Tang Tang's hair. "Don't be afraid. Touch the fur, and you won't be scared."
"Um..."
Tang Tang had just woken up suddenly from a dream. She was still a bit drowsy with a nasal voice, and her emotions hadn't fully shaken off the remnants of sleep.
She looked up at Zuo Mu's chin. After a night, there was a bit of stubble.
Tang Tang reached out and rubbed Zuo Mu's chin. She squinted slightly, looked up at Zuo Mu, and called out softly, "Brother."
Zhang Kai had accidentally knocked over a water cup out of excitement just now. He had just finished cleaning it up. He looked up at the two of them and coughed. "Sorry. I got a bit excited."
Zuo Mu gave Zhang Kai a cold look. If looks could kill, Zhang Kai would probably be dead a thousand times over.
Zhang Kai covered half of his face with his hand. "Don't look at me. Don't look at me. I really didn't do it on purpose."
"Now that Tang Tang is awake, just now they sent me a message. They've traced the source of the funds in the account. So far, three people have used this bank card."
"These three people withdrew money five times in four places within half a year."
Zhang Kai re - read the list he had just received. He looked up and exchanged a glance with Zuo Mu. "They're going to the bank to check the surveillance cameras. They'll be back soon. They're going to announce the end of this case at noon today. I have to go back."
Zuo Mu thought for a while. "Do you want me to go with you?"
Zhang Kai shook his head. "No. I guess this case will be reopened after noon today."
Zuo Mu didn't comment. He watched as Zhang Kai carefully and quickly packed up his things one by one and walked downstairs with the documents.
In the end, there were three people involved in this case publicly, from the provincial department to their police station, but Zhang Kai wasn't sure how many were still in the shadows.
These days had been extremely cold and gloomy. Today, there was even a strong wind.
There were faint signs of rain on the horizon. Tang Tang stood in front of the window, looking at the rolling clouds outside.
There was a message from Huang Xiaoli on her phone, saying that due to the sudden typhoon, the school would be closed for two days from today to tomorrow.
The members of their group were talking about going out to play, but then a classmate's words dampened their enthusiasm.
"Do you want to go out and eat the wind or drink the rain?"
Tang Tang just glanced at the message and put her phone aside. If there was always a strange connection between relatives, Tang Tang had been quite anxious when Tang Gu disappeared at first, but then she calmed down. However, these days, she just couldn't calm down.
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky. A news report came from the TV.
"Today, the four major game - related cases and the hospital organ - transplant cases will be announced."
Every piece of evidence pointed to the missing Tang Gu. The people there argued vigorously. Just as the case was about to be closed, the door was opened by Zhang Kai. Zhang Kai was holding a stack of documents in his hand. He put them on the table. "I don't think the case should be closed. I made some new discoveries last night."
Zhang Kai laid out his evidence one by one, then used his phone to project it. As he presented his evidence one by one, the expressions of the people sitting above got worse and worse.
"The people who had financial transactions with these people include the deputy governor of the province, Secretary Liu of the provincial public security department, and Officer Zhang of the municipal public security bureau."
"I'll wait for my people to bring back the rest of the surveillance videos. So I declare that this case will be reopened."
