83: There are too many rubbish in this world!

There was a reason for Liang Yuzhu to make such a deduction.

Adding ingredients that could induce allergic asthma into the paint used for the wedding room decoration, and then having Lan Zijun's personal doctor replace Lan Zijun's asthma medication, creating the illusion that Lan Zijun died from an asthma attack. This was the plan Liang Yuzhu learned from Fang Fei after the interrogation.

It sounded feasible, but there was a fatal flaw.

If they wanted to chronically affect Lan Zijun's health through the environment, Lan Zijun would need to live in that house long-term. However, asthma is very sensitive to the environment, and Lan Zijun would definitely have allergic reactions once she moved in.

An ordinary woman might mistake it for residual decoration smell and choose to accommodate her husband, enduring it temporarily. But Lan Zijun was not an ordinary person; she already disliked Qian Boda, and whether she would be willing to live with Qian Boda after marriage was unknown, let alone enduring discomfort for Qian Boda.

Qian Boda didn't even have this much self-awareness, yet he devised an ambitious plan, so it was only natural that it turned into a joke.

But Yuan was completely different. Even though Liang Yuzhu had a faint hostility towards Yuan, she had to admit that Yuan's actions were far more sophisticated than Qian Boda's.

Every step he took precisely exploited human psychology.

Lan Zijun was a very proud person, but her pride was completely shattered by Yuan's numerous small notes and the secrets he revealed step by step.

Liang Yuzhu didn't pay much attention to the opponent's methods of gathering intelligence; what she was truly wary of was the opponent's understanding and control of Lan Zijun's personality!

What was the opponent's intention lurking within Lan Zijun's company?

What did he want to use Lan Zijun for?

This was a heavy stone that had been weighing on Liang Yuzhu's heart, and it was the reason she warned Lan Zijun to stay away from that Yuan.

Shaking her head slightly, Liang Yuzhu put her phone into her pocket.

These were deductions she made from the known information, combined with Yuan's series of actions.

She didn't guarantee that her deduction was absolutely correct, but she had to be vigilant in this direction.

She would find time to have a good chat with her best friend Lan Zijun later; for now, focusing on official business was more important.

She pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.

The conference room was already full of people, led by the Director of the Municipal Bureau, Director Zhang.

"Director, I'm sorry, I'm late," Liang Yuzhu said with an apologetic smile.

"You're not late, we're early," Director Zhang, a man with a relatively square face, looked at Liang Yuzhu and spoke gently.

Liang Yuzhu was a direct subordinate of Director Zhang and had been promoted by Director Zhang himself. Director Zhang understood this female officer under his command very well.

She was a workaholic, highly capable, and had a tenacious, never-give-up attitude. This time, investigating the Sihai Shipping smuggling case, Liang Yuzhu, as the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps, had been working day and night. It was said that she hadn't been home for several days, eating and sleeping at the Bureau.

Currently, she was visibly much more haggard, so arriving at the meeting a minute or two late was not a big deal.

Moreover, as the Director said, she wasn't late; she just didn't arrive a few minutes early as was customary.

"Take care of your health," he instructed with concern. Without waiting for Liang Yuzhu's reply, he looked at the entire room.

"Alright, everyone is here, so let's officially begin."

He looked at everyone with a serious face: "I'll first brief you on the current situation. Qing Niao has passed the critical period. After examination by the doctor, they found that her wounds were only ulcerated from being soaked in seawater for too long; there is no life-threatening danger, and she will not have any sequelae!"

Applause erupted, everyone present showed joy, and Liang Yuzhu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Qing Niao was one of the two undercover agents sent by the Municipal Bureau into the Sihai Shipping Group. Howling Wolf had a car accident last time, while Qing Niao had been missing.

As a female undercover agent, being missing could very likely mean encountering some extremely terrible things, which made everyone in the Municipal Bureau who knew of her existence constantly worry about her.

But this morning, the Municipal Bureau suddenly received a report from fishermen saying they had rescued a woman at sea and had already sent her to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Subsequently, officers from the Municipal Bureau went to the hospital to investigate and were startled to find that the unconscious woman was none other than the missing undercover agent, Qing Niao.

"Since Qing Niao is currently not awake, we cannot know the details of the incident. However..."

Director Zhang's voice remained steady, but everyone could hear a hint of suppressed anger in it: "We deduce that it should not have been caused by an insider."

"We just received a report from our superiors," he continued, "that Japan conducted a surprise raid on the Kanagawa seafood trading and distribution market seven days ago, arresting seven suspects involved in seafood smuggling on the spot. Four of them are likely related to the Sihai Shipping smuggling case we are investigating."

"Why didn't they notify us? Didn't we already submit a request for joint enforcement?" Liang Yuzhu also showed anger on her face and spoke through clenched teeth.

Director Zhang looked at Liang Yuzhu meaningfully. She suddenly froze, instantly understanding.

"Bastards," she cursed fiercely.

Japan is one of the main seafood exporting countries, with China being a primary export destination.

However, since Japan's gamble on Fukushima failed, China has imposed many restrictions on Japanese seafood imports. Especially after the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea this year, these restrictions have become even stricter.

These days, no one dares to eat food labeled with the Fukushima name, although there are fools who do the opposite, brazenly labeling their "Fukushima White Peach Flavored Soda Water" as a Fukushima specialty.

This matter was confirmed to be an extremely foolish blunder, possibly because the well-known brand had been offline since 11 years ago. But as a company that often transports natural water along with natural maggots, no one was surprised by its stupidity. Anyway, whether surprised or not, consumers would teach it a lesson.

However, it couldn't stop those greedy beasts from taking advantage of the opportunity to sell this contaminated seafood at cabbage prices, massively smuggling seafood into the country. And the Japanese government has always supported this, developing Kanagawa into a new distribution center. And Kanagawa is right next to Fukushima.

This move by Japan, seemingly cracking down on smuggling, was actually a stab in the back, or rather, a tip-off. Shutting down a company at the export location is nothing; as long as the market is still there and the channels are still there, nothing has changed.

Instead, it put Qing Niao and other undercover agents in danger.

Liang Yuzhu felt somewhat powerless; she was a law enforcement officer, yet there were simply too many scumbags these days.

"I knew it, how could there be an insider in our team," a hoarse voice sounded, belonging to Deputy Bureau Chief Li. He forced a smile and looked at Director Zhang: "So, the identities of Qing Niao and Howling Wolf were exposed because of this?"

"Likely," Director Zhang nodded, "Howling Wolf is male and easily aroused suspicion, so he was exposed earlier. As for Qing Niao, the initial assessment is that she was likely identified after arriving at sea."

"According to her diary entries, she went out to sea twelve days ago, but the cargo ship had been drifting at sea, seemingly waiting for a rendezvous. Everything was normal originally, but two days ago, after the captain received a satellite call, Qing Niao was suddenly ordered to enter the cabin and not come out."

"Subsequently, Qing Niao complied. She only knew that it seemed other ships were docking alongside, and initially thought it was for a smuggling transaction, but then found that the ship seemed to be on fire, and the entire ship was eerily silent, as if only she was left."

"What happened next can only be told after Qing Niao wakes up, but we speculate that Qing Niao managed to pry open the cabin door and escape the burning cargo ship; the injuries on her body were sustained during the escape."

"Afterward, she drifted at sea for a day and a night, encountered a fishing boat that had come after discovering the cargo ship fire, and was rescued."

"Qing Niao is very lucky," Director Zhang said with relief and also emotion.

"However, the identities of both undercover agents have been exposed, and the cargo ship we were targeting has been directly burned and sunk at sea. This means one thing."

He looked at everyone: "All the clues we currently possess have been cut off!"
