Ma Lin said, "Uncle Yang, have you heard about the major organ smuggling case in L City? The news around Spring Festival, it was actually me who discovered those criminals' hideout and called the police."
The old man said, "Don't try to fool me."
Then Ma Lin showed him the photos he had taken on his phone, which included photos from the secret passage and the ones he took from the tree of police, journalists, medical personnel, and officials.
After looking through them, the old man said, "I can't tell if these photos are real or edited. What did you come to me for?"
Ma Lin said, "I know some insider information about that case, stuff that's not convenient for me to tell others, but it's okay for me to share with you."
"Why not just report it to the police?"
"Calling the police now would complicate things."
"Then coming to me won't be of any use."
