Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 724 A trade is like a mountain

Actually, there were no clear regulations on surrogacy in China at first. It was not until 2001 that it was explicitly prohibited.

The original purpose of surrogacy was to help infertile couples have children.

Its original intention was very good.

However, driven by desire and money, what was originally a pure and innocent industry has turned into a black industry that everyone condemns and criticizes, creating huge social problems.

In some areas, it has even become a malignant sore that is difficult to eradicate.

As the saying goes, anything involving money will become distorted, and even human nature will be corrupted.

Surrogacy has gradually lost its original essence because it has been commercialized, and has eventually been rejected by society.

"Can?"

Team Leader Xu looked at Yu Dazhang with disbelief and asked uncertainly:

"He committed such a serious crime just to run a surrogacy business?"

His tone was skeptical and incredulous, as if he thought such a thing was impossible.

Something's not right... Yu Dazhang quickly noticed the unusual atmosphere.

He glanced around at everyone present and found that they all had similar expressions, with puzzled and complicated looks on their faces, as if the word "surrogacy" was unfamiliar to them.

He had just noticed something was wrong.

With so many people present, not a single one of them had considered the possibility of surrogacy, something he hadn't anticipated before the meeting.

Gu Dingwen's profession and the characteristics of abducted persons were enough to make Yu Dazhang unconsciously think of surrogacy, but they seemed completely unaware.

What went wrong?

Just as he was wondering, one of the officers spoke up:
“I also think that it wouldn’t be worth committing such a serious crime just to run a surrogacy business.”

"Besides, commercial surrogacy is currently only in a gray area. As long as it doesn't go beyond the mainstream, there is no risk at all."

I know where the problem lies... After hearing his words, Yu Dazhang immediately realized a key point.

time!

The reason I could deduce that Gu Dingwen was buying up women of childbearing age for surrogacy was because I was actually reborn in 2024.

By then, the country had already cracked down on surrogacy.

And now it is 2015.

In December 2015, the amendment to the Family Planning Law removed provisions from the draft that "prohibited surrogacy in any form".

The ban on surrogacy has been changed to the regulation of surrogacy.

Actually, it wasn't until 2021 that the country truly began to ban surrogacy, because a female celebrity's career collapsed that year due to a surrogacy scandal.

Her house collapse has attracted a lot of attention and discussion from netizens.

From then on, the surrogacy industry truly became a pariah.

Yu Dazhang scanned the faces of everyone and gradually confirmed his suspicions.

That's right, surrogacy hasn't received enough attention at this point in time.

Therefore, even though Gu Dingwen's identity was so obvious, they did not consider the possibility of surrogacy.

"Do you know the price of surrogacy?" Yu Dazhang asked, looking at everyone.

Faced with this question, everyone present fell silent for a moment, and no one answered him.

If you don't value it, you won't pay attention to it.

If these people have participated in an anti-surrogacy campaign, they will certainly have some understanding of it.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, Yu Dazhang could only give the answer:

"Worry-free surrogacy, starting at 700,000 yuan." "Worry-free here means that the consumer does not bear any responsibility, and the surrogacy is guaranteed to be 100% successful."

Upon hearing this, whispers began to circulate among the crowd, clearly indicating that the content was beyond their expectations.

Yu Dazhang was not interrupted by these voices, and he continued:

"This is just the most basic price. If you choose a package, such as selecting gender, twins, etc., the price will be higher."

"We can even screen eggs from graduates of 985 and 211 universities, at an extra cost."

After he finished speaking, the sound of lighters lighting cigarettes filled the meeting room.

The smoke that had just dissipated began to re-emerge, filling the entire space with a pungent smell.

A moment later, another officer suddenly spoke up:
"That doesn't make sense. If it's surrogacy, there should be certain requirements for the surrogate mother. But many of the trafficked women involved in this case have disabilities."

"As far as I know, congenital intellectual disability and deafness are hereditary."

He frowned, and continued thoughtfully:

"How could Gu Dingwen, a gynecological expert, overlook such basic common sense?"

After he finished speaking, Yu Dazhang did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Captain Xu.

Seeing that Captain Xu also had a thoughtful expression, he looked at everyone present.

After looking around, Yu Dazhang pinched his brow in frustration.

Interlaced like mountains.

This statement couldn't be more fitting at this moment.

Those present were undoubtedly experienced criminal police officers, but when it came to matters related to medicine, their knowledge was probably less than that of a nursing school student.

It's not their fault, after all, they haven't had any systematic training, and even if they know a little, it's just what they've heard from others.

"Have you heard of in-vitro fertilization?" Yu Dazhang asked in return.

Everyone looked bewildered upon hearing this, clearly their understanding of the term was limited to its literal meaning.

Yu Dazhang was not surprised by their reaction, and he immediately explained:

"This is a technology that completes the fertilization process in an artificially controlled environment outside the body. When this technology is used, it is called full surrogacy."

"The pregnancy process is accomplished using medical methods such as embryo transfer and menstrual cycle regulation."

He paused briefly to give everyone time to process the concept before continuing:
"Therefore, women who act as surrogates for others are usually not related to the fetus by blood; their role is simply to have their organs used to complete the reproduction."

At this point, Yu Dazhang looked at the police officer who had just spoken:
"Your question isn't entirely wrong, because there's another type of surrogacy called partial surrogacy."

"The main difference between partial surrogacy and full surrogacy is that the eggs used in partial surrogacy are from the surrogate mother, and the child born is related to the surrogate mother by blood."

Yu Dazhang took a deep breath and emphasized in a serious tone:

"However, regardless of the method, it is strictly prohibited as long as it involves buying and selling."

Everyone knows that buying and selling organs is illegal because it is an inhumane act.

The same applies to organ harvesting; if left unchecked, it will breed a black market.

There was once a female celebrity who, during a TV program, shamelessly said, "It's normal to find someone with a belly."

The way they spoke of organ donation in such a grand and respectable way startled the other two people present, leaving them speechless for a moment.

"that……"

The officer who had just spoken raised his hand and hesitated before asking:

"I have another question: since surrogacy is legal and cheap abroad, why do people who need it still spend money on surrogacy in China?"
