This is a big case!

Xu Ning thought of a possibility!

Could it be money laundering?

Dirty money turned into clean money this way, and while the efficiency wasn't high, it was at least stable and safe.

Now, it seemed highly probable.

Although this matter originally had nothing to do with him, since he encountered it, pretending not to see illegal activities would be inappropriate.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Ning directly pulled out his phone and called Officer Shen.

Officer Shen wasn't on duty today; he was resting at home.

Seeing the caller ID on the screen, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

This Young Master Xu really couldn't stay out of trouble; there were very few times when nothing happened.

Who did you provoke this time?

"Young Master Xu, is there something wrong?" Officer Shen asked directly after the call connected.

"Officer Shen, I discovered something very strange, and I think it's necessary to tell you about it."

"I received an order for a nutritional meal, but the price of this nutritional meal was as high as 700 yuan."

"I specifically checked, and all their other nutritional meals are priced between thirty and forty yuan; only this one is so expensive!"

"The key is, this type of nutritional meal alone has a monthly sales volume of 900 portions on the Huangtuan Platform, plus another platform and in-store purchases, the revenue is probably over a million yuan!"

"This is clearly not quite normal, is it?"

Xu Ning didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point, explaining the situation.

Officer Shen couldn't help but frown; if it was truly as Xu Ning said, then it was indeed very strange.

Firstly, a 700-yuan nutritional meal was unreasonable, and the key was that the sales were so high.

His first thought was also money laundering!

"Where are you? Give me your location, and I'll be right over!"

At this point, he didn't care if he was on duty or not; with such an involved amount, it could no longer be considered a small case.

If they could follow the clues, it might even lead to a major case reaching the highest levels!

After receiving the location sent by Xu Ning, Officer Shen called the Police Station for backup as he headed out.

About five minutes later, Xu Ning had already waited for Officer Shen and the Police Officers from Binjiang Road Police Station who came as reinforcements.

Xu Ning checked the time; there were still about 20 minutes until the timeout, so there was still enough time.

"Take a look!" he said, handing the tightly wrapped takeout to Officer Shen.

Officer Shen took the takeout and immediately saw the price on the receipt.

Indeed, an exorbitant price!

Then, he also searched for the store on the Huangtuan Platform and saw the sales volume.

After a brief moment of thought, without much hesitation, he directly opened the takeout bag.

Inside were combination-style packaging boxes, each containing different dishes, very exquisite.

Xu Ning saw chicken, shrimp, eggs, and salad... but no matter how exquisite, this stuff couldn't possibly be worth 700 yuan!

"There's definitely a problem!"

"Investigate!"

Officer Shen said with a firm tone.

Encountering such a strange matter, he absolutely could not turn a blind eye.

Even if it turned out there was no problem and they had simply wronged someone, an apology and compensation would suffice; they couldn't just do nothing for fear of wronging others!

But just then, Xu Ning suddenly stopped him.

He took the takeout box from Officer Shen's hand, took out the disposable PE glove bag placed next to it, and looked thoughtful.

Unreasonable!

Very unreasonable!

It was normal for takeout to include cutlery, such as chopsticks and spoons.

And disposable gloves were also common, often included when ordering duck necks or braised dishes.

But this low-fat meal clearly didn't require disposable gloves.

He squeezed it, felt that the texture inside was wrong, and Xu Ning directly handed the seemingly normal disposable glove packaging bag to Officer Shen.

"There's something inside!"

Officer Shen was initially surprised but quickly took it with a solemn expression.

He squeezed it, and his expression instantly changed.

If Xu Ning was inexperienced and didn't know what was inside, he, having been a Police Officer for so many years, knew very well.

He quickly returned to the police car to get disposable medical gloves, the kind they wore when collecting evidence at a scene, and put them on.

He carefully opened the small packaging bag, and the contents were revealed.

A normal disposable glove, and another small packaging bag containing a little white powder.

Everyone present, including Xu Ning, immediately gasped.

Xu Ning never expected that what was originally reported as money laundering had now turned into an even bigger case!

However, Officer Shen had no time for Xu Ning now; he had already gone back to the police car to get special test strips to confirm what the powder was.

Suspicion was one thing, but confirmation was still necessary.

The test strips reacted quickly, confirming what the powders were.

This case was truly big!

It turned out that the nutritional meal was just a front; in reality, this nutritional meal store was a drug distribution hub.

After making contact, the users would order this exorbitantly priced nutritional meal, and then the people in the store would hide the substance in the nutritional meal and deliver it as takeout.

Without anyone knowing!

Moreover, this also served the function of money laundering.

This case was no longer something the Police Station could handle.

Officer Shen quickly called the station chief, asking him to contact the Anti-Narcotics Brigade of the sub-bureau.

"Young Master Xu, this time you've really performed a meritorious service!"

"However, for your safety, you should now come back to the Police Station with me and give a statement."

After finishing the call, Officer Shen said to Xu Ning with a smile.

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe the inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Materialism completely failed to explain the magic about him!

His trouble-attracting constitution seemed to flare up every day.

If it were just small matters, it would be fine, but this time he directly stumbled upon a major case.

If Xu Ning could always stay in their jurisdiction, their Police Station wouldn't have to worry about various performance indicators—Xu Ning would bring them one every few days on average!

Xu Ning's eyes flickered repeatedly, and he reminded them with a solemn expression.

"We need to hurry!"

"This order is about to time out; if it really times out, they will definitely become alert."

Officer Shen's expression immediately changed, and he also realized this problem.

The Anti-Narcotics Brigade would certainly need time to act, and this situation was urgent, so what should they do?

Seeing Officer Shen's worried face, Xu Ning tentatively suggested, "How about I call the store and say the meal spilled?"

If the meal spilled, for an ordinary merchant, they probably wouldn't take it too seriously; at most, they would just ask Xu Ning to compensate for one meal.

But this time, there was something 'special' inside the takeout, so they definitely wouldn't be indifferent.

The most likely outcome would be for Xu Ning to send the meal back.

At least this could buy some time.

Hearing Xu Ning's suggestion, Officer Shen's eyes lit up.

But he couldn't make the decision himself and could only report it upwards.

After ending the call, Officer Shen said to Xu Ning, "When it's about to time out, report the meal as damaged, and then call them. Remember to say you have other orders and that you'll be a little late returning the meal to them!"

"Be careful not to be nervous, to prevent the other party from becoming alert!"
