Strange Life of a Cat

The man looked in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry. He almost knocked down an old lady when he got off the bus. He was scolded by several young people next to him and didn't care. He just walked on his own and quickly left the platform.

Zheng Tan followed closely behind. He felt that if he could see Xiaojiu, this might be his last chance to help her. If he missed this time, he might never see her again.

Since he often wanders around this area, Zheng Tan also has some knowledge of the surrounding layout, especially the places that have been demolished or are about to be demolished. The direction the person in front was walking was a private residential area, which was not included in the scope of demolition, at least in recent years this area will not be touched for the time being.

Although there is no construction site nearby, roads are being built nearby, and the sound of "thallium thallium" is constant during the day, which is annoying. In addition to the noise, there is also air pollution. Residents around the area wear masks and hats and come and go in a hurry, for fear of staying here for a long time.

Zheng Tan watched the man take out a tissue and cover his nose, quickly walked to a house, took out the key and opened the door.

Live here?

Zheng Tan looked around and didn't see the Santara. It was probably that the car wasn't parked here or had been disposed of, otherwise this person wouldn't have squeezed into the bus.

After looking around, he saw that the security window was quite well installed, but it was too tight for Zheng Tan to squeeze through. I wanted to look for the kitchen, but I couldn't find it after walking around. However, Zheng Tan found the toilet on the first floor.

How many times has this been the toilet?

Zheng Tan sighed in his heart.

You could smell the stench outside. I don't know how long it had been since these people had cleaned the toilet. It was probably dirty inside, but for the sake of that girl, Zheng Tan decided to endure it.

The toilet is not a window-type one, it only has a ventilation fan. It looks like it has been renovated. It is estimated that it used to be a window and was later changed to this kind of ventilation fan. Do the people who live here think that the ventilation fan can better protect against people?

However, even if you can guard against people, you cannot guard against cats.

Zheng Tan jumped up and squeezed in between the fan blades. This was not the first time he had done this kind of thing. Zheng Tan was very familiar with it. However, the fan blades were very dirty and Zheng Tan rubbed them on his body. A layer of dust.

Looking inside the toilet, it was really messy. Some of the tiles on the floor were "bald", and there were some unknown yellow marks, which made Zheng Tan, a person with a little mysophobia... Cat, tugged unhappily. Tear your ears.

Forget it, just be patient for now.

Shaking the dust off his body, Zheng Tan walked towards the toilet door. The toilet door was only ajar. Zheng Tan listened to the noise outside the toilet. There were three people chatting. However, the toilet was too smelly. Zheng Tan felt uncomfortable staying here. He looked around and saw that there was no one outside the toilet door, so he stepped lightly. go out.

There is a staircase between the toilet and the living room. There are some debris piled up behind the staircase. Zheng Tan is hiding behind the staircase. He is already dark. The lighting on the staircase is not good. It is full of debris. Even if someone walks by, it is not easy to find him. .

No one in the living room could be seen from here, Zheng Tan could only listen to the sounds.

There was a strong smell of smoke all around, and the living room was filled with smoke. From the sound, Zheng Tan knew that one of them was the snakehead.

However, it can be inferred from their dialogue and tone that the smuggler and the others are not in a good mood. The reason why they are like this is that someone recently reported a gang that buys and sells human organs, implicating the smugglers and the others. Although the smuggler had nothing to do with that group of people, the trouble went too far this time and hindered some of the transactions of the smuggler and the others.

Organ trade? !

These people are actually selling organs!

Zheng Tan was shocked. No wonder I always feel that Snakehead has a weird look in his eyes when he looks at people.

From the conversation between these three people, Zheng Tan was able to deduce some things.

Several people in the snakeheads are donor intermediaries. They will purchase kidneys from people with blood types that meet the buyer's requirements through some channels. After receiving some orders, they will contact the donors and promise a certain amount. After arranging the donors for physical examination and matching, they will Just prepare for surgery.

Whether you have money is one thing, but whether you can find matching organs in time is another big problem. Therefore, more and more people are contacting intermediaries such as snakeheads. As long as they can get matching organs, they don't care. There are so many tricks and dirty deeds in this.

Zheng Tan had also heard of some people selling organs, and people selling livers and kidneys had seen them in some news. And listening to the tone of voice and some slang-like words spoken by the snakeheads, Zheng Tan felt that this group of people were doing this for money. It is very likely that some tough measures will be implemented.

What the smugglers were worried about this time was that a certain organ trading gang cheated the donor out of money, and even cut off more during the resection. After the donor found out, they started to make trouble. No one expected that he would be so bold. Not only did he attract the police, but he also attracted a lot of media. As a result, the news became even tighter for the smugglers and the others.

Later they also talked about Xiaojiu. They were looking for Xiaojiu not for organs, but for a certain order they had received. Someone paid two million to find five people, preferably children, with AB-type RH-negative blood. Then they would buy them back and raise them to set up a private blood bank. Last year, a blood contamination accident made this buyer feel good, and he was interested in it. Compared with this, he believed that the "blood" he raised was at least safe and guaranteed, and they didn't lack the money anyway.

Two million for five people, and even if only one qualified person can be found, they can get 400,000. This is very tempting to the smugglers. However, the buyer made many requirements, and finally added: "The blood type must be completely matched and absolutely healthy." ”, otherwise the buyer will not buy it.

These days, many people have only one child at home, and they are all very precious. They are reluctant to donate the child's blood, let alone sell it? That's why the smugglers go to some towns and even more remote places, where there are many families with several children.

After completing several organ sales in Chuhua City, they went to several surrounding counties and cities. After a week of searching through some channels and connections, Xiaojiu was the only one who barely met the conditions. As for Xiaojiu's two There are two sisters who have not yet been sold, one's blood type is not a complete match, the other has some physical problems, and the only brother will never be sold, so Xiaojiu can only be chosen. The shortcoming of Xiaojiu is that the child is too thin and does not look good. Therefore, these people originally planned to take good care of Xiao Jiu for a while, and then send it to the buyer after the "saleability" became better.

"Do you think we should develop the blood business in the future?" asked the snakehead.

They had done human trafficking before, but then a nationwide arrest operation made them stop for a while. Then they heard that there was money to be made in organ trading, so they started this business, and this time The orders they received made them realize that there were many "business opportunities" among them. Before more people pay attention to these aspects, and before the blood donation center does not reserve much blood of "rare blood types", they can make a few more donations. Even if the price is far less than the order this time, the more they can make, the better. If you get more money, they won't think it's too much money.

Zheng Tan was listening to these people's conversation behind the stairs and was so angry that he wanted to kick something, but he was eavesdropping now and couldn't make any noise. He could only hold back his anger.

If Xiao Jiu is really sold by these people, even if she has no worries about food and drink, she will have to draw blood regularly and make a human-shaped "blood bag" without freedom. It is not known whether this will affect her lifespan.

As they chatted, they answered a phone call, presumably someone informed them of the development.

"Just in case, it's better to leave early. Let's leave today!" the smuggler made a decisive decision, "Don't forget whose territory we are on. If they know and warned us once, we still dare to do business here..."

"Well, the smuggler is right, let's leave tonight! I'll get a car," another person said.

"Then I'll go to the clinic to change my medicine first, and buy some food on the way." Snakehead put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray, stood up, took a deep breath, and said to the man who went out to get his car: "Be careful, I always have something. Not a good feeling.”

The man who walked to the door glared when he heard this, "You better take care of yourself and don't get bitten by a dog again. If your arm is bitten like that again, it will probably be destroyed."

Snakehead frowned. He was annoyed when talking about dogs. Moreover, he didn't like things that were beyond his control. The two "colliding evil spirits" had always been a thorn in Snakehead's heart, but he had never found a convincing explanation.

"Sickle, look up there yourself," the snakehead said to the person who had just returned.

"I know, what can a child do? The surroundings are tightly closed, and no one knows that we are here." Sickle said, "Let's take a bath and relax. I'm exhausted from running all day. I'm in the hospital today. There was a guy over there who almost did something bad during the inspection."

Since the donors were also voluntary, they did not want to be discovered. When they saw some commotion at the hospital, they were scared. During the examination, the doctor asked a few questions. The man was too nervous. "Sickle" told him beforehand His correct response was somewhat inconsistent, but luckily the doctor didn't dwell on it. Sickle feels angry just thinking about it now.

After the smuggler and the man left, the man nicknamed "Sickle" was going to take a bath to relax and then sleep. He had to drive late at night.

Zheng Tan hid behind the stairs and watched "Sickle" walk to the kitchen. The kitchen was originally converted into a bathroom. No wonder the kitchen windows could not be found outside and there was no oil smoke. They were all sealed up.

When the man came in, Zheng Tan looked around the building first, but didn't see a room that could lock people up, so he ran upstairs.

There were three rooms on the second floor, two of which were open. Zheng Tan sniffed at the door of the closed room. The girl should be locked in it.

I tried to break the lock handle, but there was no response and it was locked. I don't think those people would let Xiao Jiu move freely.

The gap under the door was too small, even a cat's paw couldn't get through, and Zheng Tan couldn't say hello to the people inside. Moreover, the door looked very strong at first glance. With Zheng Tan's ability, he couldn't even break his legs to open it. It would be great if Ermao was here, he could pry it open in less than half a minute.

key?

Zheng Tan searched in several rooms but didn't see it. Then run downstairs.

These people should all have keys with them.

When "Sickle" went in to take a shower, his coat was left in the room.

Zheng Tan searched for Sickle's suit that seemed to be worth some money and found a bunch of keys. Apparently "Sickle" didn't think anyone would come in and steal the keys. If it were a smuggler, given his caution, he would probably take the key directly into the bathroom.

Something suddenly occurred to him and he looked around. He didn't see anything like a camera. Then Zheng Tan directly held the keys with his two front paws to prevent them from making noise when he ran. Then, Zheng Tan directly Run up the stairs on two legs.

I am used to climbing stairs on all fours, but at first I felt a little uncomfortable climbing stairs on two legs.
