41: Chapter 41: The Resolute Zhuang Mengdie 41: Chapter 41: The Resolute Zhuang Mengdie Miao Ruolan’s body trembled slightly, to be precise, her legs were a bit shaky... “Call Zhuang Mengdie now!” a voice pierced into her ears. “Now?” “Yes!” Miao Ruolan’s cell phone lit up slightly, and a number dialed into the distance. The call connected. Miao Ruolan lowered her voice and gave an address. Then hung up. The light from the cell phone faded, quiet surrounded them, except in the bathroom ten meters away, there were still endlessly thrilling scenes. Although Miao Ruolan could neither hear nor see clearly, her imagination was deadly. She could not stand such scenes. What about Lin Xiaosu? She slowly raised her head to look at Lin Xiaosu. From this angle, Lin Xiaosu indeed looked quite handsome, but he clearly frowned. “What’s the matter?” “Our Sister Zhuang is very decisive, bringing the police directly...” “Police? Are they here? I didn’t see any police cars...” “Look over there!” Miao Ruolan’s gaze shot towards Tashan Lake, where she saw a black car with the license plate: 212563. “Zhou Mei’s car!” “Yes, Chief Zhang is here too! What was the reason for reporting the incident? If it was reported as a drug case, that’s really harsh.” Ordinary acts of style do not reach the level of calling the police. Typical messy sexual relations wouldn’t typically prompt Chief Zhang of the Criminal Investigation Team to take action. But if it involved drugs, that would be a matter of another level. Sister Zhuang, daring to report a case as drugs to catch her cheating husband? Three cars stopped in the distance, and more than ten plainclothes officers got out, aiming directly at this villa. At the villa’s exterior, they leapt up all at once! Hands reaching, they climbed the fence, their bodies rising over the five-meter-high wall. In modern society, frontline police officers, especially detectives, are all skilled. Chief Zhang was even more formidable, moving silently like a hunting dog. He reached out, jumped, grabbed the ledge of the second floor, and efficiently climbed up. Inside the bathroom, there was a brief pause, the next moment, the bathroom door was pushed open, Lin Xiaosu could imagine without looking, how it was a complete mess inside. “Put your hands up!” Chief Zhang’s voice was immensely steady. “Comrades, we...” “Enough talk! Stand against the wall!” The door opened, and Zhou Mei, along with a few other officers, entered the villa, facing a scene so... unbearable to witness. A man stood against the wall, bare-buttocked, and a woman wrapped in a bath towel, fiercely clutching the corner of her towel, crouching on the floor. Chief Zhang pointed a dark pistol at the man’s back. Both were trembling, completely unsure how to handle the situation. “Search!” Chief Zhang commanded, and fierce police dogs appeared, checking the first, second, third floors... “Report! No drugs found on the first floor!” “Report, no drugs found on the second floor!” “Report, no drugs found on the third floor!” Chief Zhang’s expression darkened, no drugs found? What was wrong with the reporter? False alarm? The situation indeed didn’t quite look like a drug den, more like ordinary scenes of secret concubinage. You have me, the head of Criminal Investigation Team, here in the middle of the night for this? Just when it seemed there was no way out, Zhou Mei suddenly pulled out her phone, a message popped up: “Under the bathroom mirror, third compartment, press three times!” Source of the information: “Some irresponsible little detective.” Zhou Mei pocketed her phone and entered the bathroom. Two officers were still searching inside the bathroom, which was actually the easiest place to search, with very few objects. They didn’t find any useful clues, ready to retreat, Zhou Mei came in, closely observed the shelf holding various shower gels, stretched out her finger to the third compartment, and pressed three times. Silently, a hidden compartment flipped open, revealing a metal cylinder in her hand, which she opened to find a red liquid. Zhou Mei’s heart raced as she held the metal cylinder and walked outside, the color of the beautiful woman crouching against the wall drastically changed. This change, caught in Zhou Mei’s eyes, was the greatest surprise. “What is this?” Zhou Mei asked. “It’s... it’s just a stimulant, a lubricant...” the beautiful woman cried out: “I have a receipt! In the bedside drawer... I’ll get it for you.” She wrapped up in her bath towel and ran small steps into the bedroom, indeed pulling out a receipt from the bedside drawer, an overseas purchase of O’Du Magic Oil, characteristics matching the metal cylinder and the liquid inside. Chief Zhang furrowed his brows deeply, could there really be a problem here? Why didn’t the police dog react when it was so close? “Take it back for testing,” Zhou Mei’s gaze shifted toward Chief Zhang. Chief Zhang hesitated for a moment, then subtly nodded, “Both of you, get dressed and come with us.” “Chief, this... this isn’t necessary, at most it’s a matter of conduct, not a crime...” Wang Changfa argued. “Whether it’s a crime or not is not for you to decide! Take them away!” Chief Zhang swept his hand, signaling to round up the team! Leaving the villa, Zhou Mei looked around, her eyes scanning over the willow trees, leaving a thought-provoking gaze on the willow where Lin Xiaosu had been... Clearly, she had guessed, there were people on this willow tree. But, she couldn’t discern which branch they were behind. In fact, she was wrong, there was no one on the willow tree at this moment. Lin Xiaosu had already withdrawn with Miao Ruolan. Besides Zhou Mei, nobody knew they had been there. Not even Chief Zhang. Miao Ruolan rode the electric bike, taking Lin Xiaosu back to the Detective Agency, the May night breeze was cool, but it couldn’t disperse the heat from her face, nor the mess left on her underwear... Returning to the Detective Agency, the first thing was a shower, and after showering, she lay in bed, her thoughts restless. Every little sound from the next room made her extra sensitive. Perhaps at a mature age, one really can’t withstand too much stimulation... After enduring most of the night, she finally fell asleep, the next morning Miao Ruolan washed her face with cold water, feeling refreshed, and rinsed her underwear, the bizarre events of last night flowed away with the water into the Yishui River, and she returned to her normal state. With nothing important the next day, another sunset arrived... As the sun sank behind the Dangjia Mountain in the west, the ancient stone tower on distant Tashan was dipped in the sunset’s afterglow... A black sedan arrived from the west, stopping in front of the Detective Agency. Lin Xiaosu and Miao Ruolan exchanged glances, Miao Ruolan stood up to make tea. Zhou Mei, dressed in casual clothes and gracefully, entered the Detective Agency, Miao Ruolan, when she turned, was already holding a tea cup for her. “Have a seat!” Lin Xiaosu motioned to the sofa beside him. Zhou Mei sat down: “You were in the willow tree last night.” “Yes! This was the client’s request,” Lin Xiaosu said. Zhou Mei said, “That’s why you saw that small bottle and where it was stored.” “Although it’s a bit embarrassing to say, that’s the truth.” Lin Xiaosu said this with no expression, but Miao Ruolan’s cheeks flushed, the memories she attempted to suppress once again becoming a poison in her mind... Zhou Mei picked up the tea cup, sipped gently, “Why are you sure there’s something wrong with that bottle?” Lin Xiaosu said, “If the contents of this bottle were just ordinary substances for arousal, she wouldn’t need to hide it in such a secretive way, placing the bottle openly on the bedside cabinet would be reasonable.” It’s a modern society, many things are open. In ordinary hotel rooms, instant noodles beside condoms and Magic Oil are commonplace, this woman was just kept by a man, why did she need to hide such arousal substances so secretively? Just like Lin Xiaosu said, placing it openly on the bedside would not be strange. Instead, hiding in the bathroom’s secret compartment, even when Wang Changfa entered, she quickly hid the bottle so even Wang Changfa was unaware, obviously, there was a problem. “I really admire the detective’s insight!” Zhou Mei gently set down the tea cup, “There’s a type of Genetic Toxin in it, also just included in the police database, code-named P39! This Genetic Toxin is very peculiar, transmitted through sexual contact, the most wondrous part is, it transmits to women but not men...” Her voice suddenly stopped, noticing the two in front, Lin Xiaosu quietly drinking tea, Miao Ruolan sitting quietly holding a book, neither showing any surprise. “Do you... do you know about this toxin?” Lin Xiaosu smiled, “You forgot to ask why my client had me investigate her?” “Your client, got poisoned?” “Yes, she is Wang Changfa’s legal wife, not only poisoned, but she also has a family doctor, whose knowledge about this toxin is probably no less than your police, what you said, she has already mentioned, what we wanted was just a confirmation!” “Now confirmed! You’ve completed her commission!” Miao Ruolan smiled, very pleased. A hundred thousand yuan commission, completed overnight! The earnings from this one case, higher than the combined total of the last half a month! Lin Xiaosu also smiled, “Has that woman confessed?” “No!” Zhou Mei said. Miao Ruolan slightly startled, “Even catching her red-handed, she didn’t confess?” “Caught her messing around with Wang Changfa, she’d confess that, but the issue is, this new type of toxin, she does not accept! She insists that the bottle contains O’Du Magic Oil, which she imported from overseas for arousal, with an invoice, and the purchasing chain matches up, the person who imported it was also caught in the south, and the laboratory tested all the Magic Oil in his inventory, they are regular Magic Oil, no toxin added.” “Exactly the invoice, very suspicious!” Miao Ruolan said. “Hmm?” Zhou Mei stared at her. Miao Ruolan said, “Under normal circumstances, who would keep an invoice for such shameless products, ready to be reviewed at any time in the bedside drawer? Isn’t it suspicious she keeps the invoice ready to be shown?” Zhou Mei laughed, “Hmm, makes sense, continue...” “There’s only one possibility!” Miao Ruolan said, “She intentionally set up this purchase route, using it as a cover to deliberately add toxins, she has long been prepared for the day when the secret would come out.” Zhou Mei nodded gently, “Not bad, you, a detective coming midway, under Detective Lin’s guidance, are also coming online!” Miao Ruolan was slightly thrilled: “I could see through it, and you all could see through it more, so no matter how much she argues, she can’t escape the law eventually!”
