Chapter 708 Discovering the target
Although there are still many details that need to be added, and the specific identity of the kidnapper needs to be further confirmed, the ins and outs of the entire case have been clarified, as Jubal just said:
“The suspect is likely the same person who purchased Pedro’s kidney for himself or for a family member in need of a transplant.
Of course, I prefer the latter. Whether judging from the witness testimony or the surveillance footage, this guy does not look like a patient with kidney failure. "
Indeed, there is such an urgent need for a kidney transplant, and even taking risks to engage in illegal transactions has basically reached the point where even dialysis cannot solve the problem, so everyone's opinion is also leaning towards the latter.
At this time, the pile of electronic files that Aubrey had sent back from the clinic came into play. The technicians quickly retrieved the medical records and found the records of Pedro, the suspected kidney seller.
Although a pseudonym was used in the record, the blood sample record could not deceive anyone, and the same was true for the matching record. A little boy named Tony Diaz came into the FBI's sight.
Beautiful technician Alice Taylor synchronized her computer screen to the big screen, "Tony Diaz, twelve years old, living in Queens, father's name is Octavio Diaz, 43 years old, using Apply for a temporary visa for asylum.”
"Go on, we need more specific information about him." Jubal knocked on the table and urged the analyst on the other side.
“I checked his application record, which showed that he was a military officer in Jalisco, Mexico, received a university education, and participated in a series of operations against drug cartels.
He wrote in his application that he and his family would die if they were forcibly returned to Mexico. ” someone shouted in response.
Jack looked on with cold eyes, wondering if it was his own illusion. He felt that every time Alice Taylor was around, these otakus were particularly efficient, and they all seemed to be full of hormones.
My team still lacks a technical support staff like Garcia in the BAU team. If I can't find any familiar faces, this beautiful single mother can do the job.
Alice Taylor's computer skills may not be as good as Garcia's, but if she really encounters any problem, given her popularity among the technical nerds in the New York office, wouldn't there be a lot of people willing to help?
Jack decided to keep an eye on it, so that he could let Hannah have more contact with her and understand her thoughts, such as career plans. After all, most back-office positions were FBI employees, not agents.
As for joining the wanted criminal team, although the job may still be technical support back office work, you will definitely need to go to Quantico to participate in training to become a formal FBI agent, and you may even have to draw a gun when necessary.
"Is there any way to locate his phone?" Jubal asked loudly.
"No, his mobile phone is turned off, but his wife's mobile phone is on, and the location shows that it matches the address where their family rents in Queens." Someone answered equally loudly.
Jack grabbed his coat, "Aubrey and I are going to bring her back, she must know something."
Jubal nodded, "Go ahead, let's continue to find a location for the surgery. This kind of illegal and complicated surgery requires a sterile, safe and hidden environment, and requires a lot of professional equipment.
This is not the first time they have done this, there must be a fixed place. "
Hearing the word "professional equipment", Jack paused and thought of how Red found out the suspect's residence through the equipment purchase records in the gruesome case of using young women's bodies to make perfume candles. A flash of inspiration.
"An immediate review of that clinic's financial records, including all of the affiliates of Lucas Caldwell and Terrence Nelson, as well as records of their purchases of surgical equipment over the past several years, including leased facility records, Hannah, it’s time to use what you’ve learned.”
"OK, let's do it." Hannah immediately found a computer and sat down.

Mrs. Diaz looked like a decent Mexican woman, dressed cheaply and plainly. She didn't seem surprised by the two FBI's visits. Although she tried to look surprised, it was obvious that she was not very good at it. acting.
Jack opened the skylight and spoke frankly, "We don't have much time, Mrs. Diaz. Why don't you tell the truth? We know about your son Tony's situation, and your husband Octavio is having an affair with Lucas Caldwell." The doctor cooperated and wanted to transplant his kidney illegally.
It also involves the kidnapping of an innocent female doctor, and we need to find them as soon as possible so we can provide help, including medical assistance to your son. "
Unexpectedly, his words directly broke the woman's defense, and tears instantly burst into her eyes, "Medical assistance? Now you actually said that you can provide medical assistance?
Do you know how many times we tried? We talked to twenty-five transplant doctors, begging them to put Tony on the recipient list.
The available answer is always the same, since we are not covered by the insurance system there is nothing they can do. "
She tried hard to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, but she couldn't stop it. There were already broken skin in her already red and swollen eyes. "We can't drag it on any longer. My son is about to die. He can't get out of bed, walk or even eat. He weighs only Only half of the original remains.
He is only 12 years old. If he cannot get a kidney transplant, he will not even live to see his next birthday. "
Aubrey tried hard to convince her, "But have you ever considered the risks involved? Kidney transplant surgery is very complicated and dangerous, and now there is only one surgeon and one anesthesiologist who are forced to perform the surgery.
The right thing to do now is to send your son to the hospital as soon as possible, and the doctors there will continue the operation."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the emotional Mrs. Diaz, "I said, we tried everything, it didn't work.
We tried our best to escape from Mexico and came to this country. We thought we were away from danger and our family could live together in peace, but we didn't expect that this happened!
This is our last hope. As long as our son is safe and sound, you can do whatever you want with us. I have nothing more to say. "
Faced with a desperate mother, Jack simply chose to give up. This was not someone who could be persuaded with words in a short time, so he had no better way except to put her in handcuffs and take her back to the police station temporarily.
On the way back, just as Sababan drove onto the Queensboro Bridge leading to Manhattan, Jack's cell phone rang. As the call was connected, Jubal's excited voice came from the other side.
"We checked. Hannah found that a company under the name of Dr. Lucas Caldwell purchased more than two hundred thousand dollars of medical equipment at one time two years ago. The shipping address on the invoice was in Brooklyn. A warehouse.
This warehouse is long-term leased by a company called "VIP Medical Properties" and is owned by Dr. Terrence Nelson. The SWAT team is on the road and we set off. "
"OK, remember to ask Hannah to bring my equipment." Jack hung up the phone and looked back at Mrs. Diaz in the back seat, noticing that her face had lost all color in an instant.
