Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Chen Degao’s Second Disappearance
As it turns out, in most cases, as long as you have money, there’s basically nothing you can’t do.
Especially for a young nurse, it’s just about gathering some gossip, which is what they usually chat about anyway. And now, there’s money involved, a whole 100,000 yuan.
Although the salary at the Thousand-Year Sanatorium is pretty good, for a nurse, that’s a whole year’s salary.
What’s more, the 100,000 yuan that Lu Chuan offered is just a down payment. If the news she gathers is useful, there will be more money to come.
Who in their right mind can resist the temptation of more money these days?
Of course, Lu Chuan’s money is not that easy to earn.
The management within the Thousand-Year Sanatorium is extremely strict, and Nurse Wang works in the physical examination area.
According to the sanatorium’s regulations, generally, she isn’t allowed to enter other areas.
Except for potential clients like Lu Chuan, she has the right to take them on a tour of the sanatorium area, but she definitely doesn’t have permission to enter the medical area.
What’s more, over there, everyone is foreign—the doctors, nurses, and so forth.
But, young nurses naturally have their own ways.
She can’t blatantly enter the medical area, but who said she can’t pursue the handsome doctor in the medical area?
In the examination center, two or three female nurses have boyfriends who are doctors in the medical area.
One of them is even married.
Wang Nana graduated with a master’s degree and has no problem communicating in English.
With her sweet looks and tall figure, she’s highly competitive even among all the beauties in the examination center.
It must be said, beautiful girls are very popular everywhere.
Wang Nana merely showed some interest, and through colleagues who already have foreign boyfriends in the examination center, it was naturally communicated to the handsome foreign doctors in the medical area.
And just like that, things fell into place naturally.
Capable people can earn money anywhere.
Just by the next noon, with her entire head wrapped up in a scarf, Wang Nana appeared in front of Lu Chuan for the third time.
Looking at the quirky nurse in front of him, with big, vigilant eyes like a spy, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but want to laugh.
"Got news so quickly?"
Wang Nana nodded nervously.
"On the day you first visited our sanatorium, three patients were transferred."
"They said it was due to the deterioration of their condition, but our sanatorium’s medical standard is one of the best in the nation. If their condition deteriorated, where could they be transferred to?"
"And also, last night, another group of people were transferred."
"Where did they go?"
"Did the person I asked you to keep an eye on also get transferred?"
"That person left on that very day, but no one knows where they went."
"However... I happened to get the license plate number of the vehicle they used."
As she spoke, the young nurse pulled out a slip of paper like a magic trick.
On it was a license plate number.
This made Lu Chuan somewhat excited.
The Criminal Investigation Team’s investigation into the disappearance of 12 people was still at a standstill. They hadn’t locked onto any information in two days.
Moreover, some family members of the missing had already started dropping the case.
This is very unusual.
It’s only been over a week since the disappearance; why drop the case now?
The Criminal Investigation Team had a very clear understanding of the family situation of the 12 missing persons.
It’s safe to say that these 12 missing persons were the sole breadwinners of their families.
Now that they’re gone, the economic support for their families is cut off.
Logically speaking, their families should be at their most anxious at this moment.
Yet suddenly, someone wants to drop the case.
They even moved their whole family out after submitting the case withdrawal application.
What is going on?
Even an old detective like Qin Yong, who has dealt with criminals all his life, can tell something is off here.
The pillar of the family is missing, leaving the whole family without an income, and they say drop the case and move out. How did they move?
In this world, you can’t move an inch without money.
Just this morning, when Zhang Hui chatted with Lu Chuan, he said he visited one of the families that withdrew their case.
He found that the relative who used to have an OPPO phone had now switched to the latest iPhone.
That’s more than ten thousand yuan.
The husband disappeared, the family is dirt poor, and yet they can get such an expensive phone.
Needless to say, someone is pulling strings behind the scenes.
First, they had Song Jiangguo pressuring Qin Yong from above, allowing the Thousand-Year Sanatorium to escape a critical moment.
Then, they quickly did two things: transferring people out of the sanatorium and started working on the families of the missing persons. And they were successful—the families of 5 out of 12 missing persons had already withdrawn their cases.
Although the Criminal Investigation Team technically had no time limit to solve these cases,
every day wasted now means the other side makes more progress.
If all the families of the 12 missing persons withdraw their cases, it will be impossible for the Criminal Investigation Team to track the case further.
Without its subjects, how can the case be followed up?
Thankfully, thankfully, Wang Nana has been very helpful!
"Nurse Wang, the clues you’ve provided are extremely important!"
With the license plate number, they can track the car’s whereabouts, thereby pinpointing the individuals transferred from the sanatorium.
"So... can the money be increased?"
Lu Chuan did say yesterday that if the clues were important, 100,000 yuan was just a down payment, and more money would follow.
"Yes, yes, absolutely!"
If the clues provided by Wang Nana allow the police to directly find the missing individuals transferred by the Thousand-Year Sanatorium, then it wouldn’t just be about more money.
"That’s great, I like getting more money."
Wang Nana didn’t care about anything else, just the extra money.
"Alright then, Nurse Wang, you head back to work and avoid alerting others. Just behave as usual, and avoid digging for any more information."
"I’ll follow up on the leads, and based on their progress, I’ll provide you with additional payment."
"Okay!"
Nurse Wang had already guessed Lu Chuan’s identity yesterday.
But she didn’t find anything wrong with it. Helping the police with a case, she could now count herself as an informant.
The key point is that there’s money in it, so why not?
Half an hour later.
Lu Chuan used his access as a member of the province’s major case squad to directly track the license plate number provided by Wang Nana through the traffic police monitoring system.
The reason he didn’t directly hand the license plate number to the traffic police was to avoid alerting anyone.
The other party already had moles within the Criminal Investigation Team, and mid-level ones at that. Who knows if they had people in the traffic police division as well?
