Chapter 25: The Context Is Getting Clearer, and It’s Terrifying

When Chen Yan shook hands with Li Jing, he noticed that Li Jing’s hands were very strong.

It did not feel like a patient who had undergone organ transplant surgery.

Moreover, Li Jing’s face was ruddy, and his breathing was steady. He walked with a straight posture and looked healthier than the average person.

When Li Jing heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he shook his head. “Leader Chen, I believe you have also read my files from the past.”

He led Chen Yan and the other three into the living room and told the nanny to pour tea for them. “But look at me now. I don’t look like someone who has undergone a liver transplant!”

“I’ve come into contact with quite a number of people who have undergone organ transplants in the past few years.” Li Jing patted his chest. “There are indeed some who have recovered well, but there is only one person like me who can participate in physical exercise and don’t even need to take anti-rejection drugs.”

Chen Yan nodded.

As everyone knew, anyone who received organ transplants had to take anti-rejection drugs for their entire life.

However, Li Jing did not need to take anti-rejection drugs. This was indeed puzzling.

“Mr. Li,” Chen Yan looked at Li Jing, then looked at Liu Qingshan and Zhao Bing beside him. “I understand your doubts very well.”

“We came here this time to follow up on your case back then.”

Chen Yan paused for a moment and continued, “Of course. After all, five years have passed. Some details in the records of the case cannot be reproduced.”

“Therefore, I hope that you can cooperate with us, Mr. Li, so that we can try to resolve the knot in your heart as soon as possible.”

Zhao Bing looked at Li Jing and continued, “Mr. Li, you were right about something just now.”

“Although Leader Chen is young, he has a bright future ahead of him.”

“Just last week, Leader Chen solved two major cases and achieved two individual third-class merits!”

“You should have heard about the Bloody Cross murder at Lianhai University. It was Leader Chen who solved it in two days!”

“So, if you have the leader to follow up on your case, he will definitely give you a fair result.”

After hearing Zhao Bing’s words, Li Jing looked at Chen Yan in a daze.

A young man in his early 20s had two individual third-class merits?

Li Jing was a former soldier, so he naturally knew what third-grade merits meant.

And this Leader Chen actually received two individual third-grade merits!

Not to mention the Bloody Cross murder at Lianhai University. Although the photos at the scene did not circulate, the murder case had happened at the university, and preventing it from spreading out was not possible.

News of it had long spread throughout Lian City.

However, no one could have predicted that the case would be solved in just two days.

And the person who solved the case was right in front of him now!

“Leader Chen!” Li Jing quickly stood up. “Please help me with my case!”

…

“My younger brother?”

Chen Yan nodded and looked at Li Jing. “That’s right. I want to know some details about your brother’s car accident back then.”

Although Li Jing didn’t understand why Chen Yan didn’t ask about his own case and instead asked about his younger brother’s situation, he remembered that Zhao Bing had just introduced Chen Yan to him, so he carefully recalled it.

“Hmm… back then, my younger brother got into a car accident. It was the day before my car accident.”

Li Jing thought for a moment, then stood up and opened the drawer of the television cabinet. He took out a photo album. “This is a photo of my younger brother in the past.”

“At that time, I wasn’t there. My sister-in-law was.”

“I heard from her that it was after lunch. My brother was riding a motorcycle and driving her home. My brother ran a red light and was hit by a car.”

“Your sister-in-law was not injured at that time?”

“At that time, my sister-in-law was wearing a helmet and only suffered some abrasions. My brother did not wear a helmet and suffered a heavy blow to the head. After he was sent to the hospital, he was not resuscitated.”

A heavy blow to the head?

Chen Yan paused. “Is your sister-in-law still in Lian City?”

“Yes,” Li Jing answered affirmatively. “She works in my company. I have been taking care of her all these years. Our relationship has not been estranged.”

“Can you ask your sister-in-law to come over and let us know more about the situation?”

“No problem!”

…

Half an hour later, Li Jing’s sister-in-law arrived.

Just as Li Jing had said, she wore a helmet and avoided a disaster.

Because Li Jing’s brother ran the red light first, he naturally took all the responsibility. Therefore, Li Jing and his sister-in-law did not sue the perpetrator.

“There were surveillance cameras at the intersection back then. The video must still be available. You can verify it.”

Chen Yan nodded and looked at the photo of Li Jing’s brother. “Mr. Li, your brother looks exactly like you, right?”

Li Jing nodded. “We are identical twins. We grew up in an orphanage. Later on, we joined the army together and started a business together. Unfortunately…”

“By the way, Mr. Li, you did a DNA analysis of the liver cells after your transplant back then. Do you still have the specific test results?”

The file only contained the test results and did not contain the detailed test contents.

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ve been keeping this. Please wait for a while. I’ve locked it in the safe.”

A moment later, Li Jing handed the test report to Chen Yan. “This test is to extract living cells from the liver. It’s very harmful. The doctor said that it can only be done once, so I’ve been keeping this.”

Chen Yan nodded and looked at the report in his hand carefully.

99.99% DNA similarity!

This was an impossible figure.

However, if it was Li Jing, Chen Yan had a bold guess.

“Mr. Li, back then, did you and your brother have a funeral ceremony?”

Li Jing and his brother’s widow both nodded. “The funeral ceremony was held at the funeral parlor. The two of us are orphans. Although not many people went, I’m still here. We definitely can’t let him go alone.”

“Then… did you notice anything wrong with the body?”

Hmm?

Anything wrong?

Li Jing and his sister-in-law looked at each other and then shook their heads.

“There shouldn’t be anything wrong… My brother received a heavy blow to the back of his head at that time. Although there were some wounds on his face.”

Li Jing shook his head to confirm. “But if I had to say if there were anything wrong, there shouldn’t be.”

Li Jing’s sister-in-law also shook her head, “Big Brother is right. We didn’t find anything wrong.”

In that case…

“Mr. Li, do you still have any of your brother’s belongings? It’s best if it’s clothes that he wore when he was alive, something that was used on the body.”

“Oh, I do have something. It’s my sister-in-law and my brother’s wedding house. Ever since my brother passed away, she hasn’t stayed or sold it. My brother’s belongings are all in the house.”

“Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, you guys can go and get Mr. Li’s brother’s belongings. Extract the hair, skin, and cells for DNA analysis!”

Chen Yan waved the DNA report of Li Jing’s transplanted liver cells in his hands. “Then, compare it with the results of this report!”

What kind of person’s DNA cell profile would be so similar?

And it was 99.99%!

Not to mention two unrelated people; even the biological parents would not have such a high matching rate.

But what about two identical twins?

Chen Yan had long thought of this possibility!

But if that was really the case, how did Li Jing’s liver transplant come about?

One had to know that back then, Li Jing’s younger brother had already died the day before Li Jing’s car accident.

Once the body died, it was impossible for the organs to survive!

In that case, Li Jing’s younger brother’s organs could not have appeared on Li Jing’s body more than a day later!

Could the hospital have predicted that Li Jing would encounter a car accident the next day and preserved Li Jing’s younger brother’s liver in advance?

But if it wasn’t, then how could it explain everything now?

Moreover, Li Jing and his sister-in-law didn’t sign any organ donation documents back then.

Thinking about it… It was terrifying!

Liu Qingshan and the others were old detectives. They had initially thought that there was no clue about the case, but now they suddenly understood.

No wonder Chen Yan didn’t ask about Li Jing at all. Instead, he focused on the details of Li Jing’s brother’s car accident.

Now, they were just waiting for Zhao Bing and Wang Gang to come back.

As long as the DNA sequencing results of Li Jing’s brother’s cells were out, and the DNA comparison with Li Jing’s transplanted liver cells was 100% the same.

That could prove that Li Jing had indeed transplanted a liver. Moreover, the transplant was his own brother’s liver.

The liver of a person who had already died one day back then!
