Chapter 273 Drug Trafficking? !
After the old woman's story, Xia Ling gradually understood the whole process.
It turned out that this epilepsy rehabilitation hospital was not established by the dean and the vice dean alone.
It was jointly funded by a group of parents of children with epilepsy.
Because the parents of the children had to go out to work, it was really troublesome to bring a child with epilepsy, so they jointly funded the establishment of this rehabilitation hospital so that the children could live here and be taken care of.
There are a total of 106 children, that is, 106 families.
As for why all the children with epilepsy in Guicheng can gather together.
It's because of the dean.
The dean's name is Tang Chi, and the vice dean's name is Liu Feng. They also have a child who is a congenital epilepsy patient.
Four years ago, the couple traveled all over the country to treat their child's epilepsy, but there was no effect.
It was not until they heard the story of a patient's parents when they were treating in Shanghai that they knew that there was a drug called "clobazam" abroad that was very effective in treating epilepsy.
So the director Tang Chi went abroad to look for this drug. After traveling to North America, South America, South Asia and other countries, he finally brought back some clobazam.
After giving it to the child, the effect was significantly improved, and the child began to move like a normal person.
The number of epilepsy attacks decreased significantly, from once a day to once a week, and even once a month.
Life began to return to normal.
Other patients in the same city also saw the changes in Tang Chi's child. In addition, Tang Chi went abroad frequently, and they seemed to have noticed something, so they all came to ask Tang Chi if he had bought special medicine from abroad.
Tang Chi didn't want to reveal it at first, but seeing that the children of these former patients were suffering, he couldn't bear it, so he told everyone the truth.
When the patients heard it, they gave money to Tang Chi and asked him to go abroad to buy on their behalf. There were even many parents who added money to buy on their behalf.
Tang Chi also started this kind of business.
His profit was meager. In addition to earning a little travel expenses, he sold it to the patients at almost the original price.
Gradually, more and more people knew about this situation, and many parents of epilepsy patients came to Tang Chi.
Tang Chi's business grew bigger and bigger, and he found that he had a surplus.
In addition, he found that many parents went out to work and left their children to the care of the older elders in the family during the delivery of medicine.
First, such management is too unsafe, and the elderly can't take care of children with epilepsy at all.
Second, it is very inconvenient for him to deliver medicine.
So two years ago, he proposed that everyone raise funds to build a rehabilitation center, which is not mainly for rehabilitation, but to gather children together so that they can feed medicine every day and control the disease.
That is the current rehabilitation center.
Things went very smoothly, and parents were willing to invest. Everyone also knew that Tang Chi and his wife were good people, and they were willing to pay for the couple to take care of the children.
So this rehabilitation center similar to a custody center was established.
The children took medicine on time, and when they gathered together, they no longer had the loneliness and pain of left-behind children.
It was a whole positive development, and the children gradually began to live a normal life.
Tang Chi also began to purchase other drugs for epilepsy treatment from abroad, such as Xibaoning, Rapamycin, etc., for the children to take, and the children's condition further stabilized.
However, when things are going well, there will always be someone who comes out to make trouble.
The news that a large number of epilepsy patients in Guicheng have collectively recovered to normal spread among the people, and finally reached a pharmaceutical company that develops drugs for rare diseases.
The pharmaceutical company is full of professionals. Once they heard about it, they understood what drugs Tang Chi used on the children.
And these foreign drugs, some of which are exactly the drugs that their company is preparing to import and sell at high prices.
Tang Chi's purchase from abroad and his behavior of not being qualified to sell these drugs privately are obviously against the interests of this pharmaceutical company.
So, the head of this pharmaceutical company directly reported Tang Chi's behavior to the police.
The police were very fast and arrested Tang Chi on the same day, even on the charge of selling drugs.
This scared Tang Chi and his wife, as well as other parents.
Selling drugs without a license is ironclad evidence, how could it be involved in drug trafficking? !
It turned out that the "clobazam" sold by Tang Chi, which can suppress epilepsy, is a second-class psychotropic drug controlled by the state. It is addictive and can be used as a drug after modification and become addictive.
Tang Chi did not know this regulation, so he accidentally became a drug dealer.
This scared her wife, but she was powerless.
All the clobazam was searched by the police, and other drugs were taken away for illegal sales.
This is why the children have no medicine to take and frequently fall ill.
"This... Vice President, didn't you find a lawyer? I don't think President Tang is guilty of drug trafficking." Xia Ling also asked anxiously.
Selling clobazam is indeed illegal, but it definitely does not constitute a drug trafficking charge.
The clobazam sold by Tang Chi is used to treat children, not for them to take drugs...
Now the children have nothing to eat and the disease recurs frequently. What should I do now?
Vice Dean Liu Feng shook her head and said, "We have found many lawyers, and all the children's parents are also raising funds to find lawyers, but no law firm is willing to accept our commission."
"Red Circle Law Firms won't take it?" This surprised Xia Ling.
Suddenly, Xia Ling reacted.
This is Guicheng. Compared with the Jianghai Greater Bay Area, there are no well-known law firms here. They are all small local law firms.
Encountering this kind of drug trafficking lawsuit, the lawyers of these small local law firms are scared to death. Who dares to take this case...
So they have to go to the red circle law firms in big cities to ask.
Liu Feng: "We are talking. We found Wuji Law Firm. The other party's price is very expensive. They want a commission of two million. We can't afford it..."
These families have been hollowed out by their children's epilepsy. They have to raise two million. They really can't take it out.
Xia Ling took a breath of cold air. They dared to ask for a commission of two million.
"Crazy?!"
But on second thought, Tang Chi was accused of drug trafficking!
Other lawyers didn't dare to take it.
Then with the nature of these red circle law firms, it would be a shame not to squeeze them out of money.
"Has the prosecutor filed a lawsuit in court?" Xia Ling asked.
"They have. If we haven't found a lawyer yet, they will arrange one." Liu Feng said helplessly.
The lawyers arranged by the government are either reliable or unreliable.
But in the case of Tang Chi, they are definitely unreliable...
At this time, Xia Ling remembered Liu Lian's words, why didn't she get involved.
This case is really too complicated!
Clobazam is indeed a state-controlled psychotropic drug, and Tang Chi did sell it...
Drug trafficking...
Xia Ling took a breath.
She was clearly doing good things, how did it become like this? !
