94: The dragon slayer becomes a dragon!
Yuan's request was actually very simple; for Liang Yuzhu, it was completely effortless.
It was merely going to the hospital to verify a report, and with her Police Officer status, there were absolutely no obstacles.
However you looked at it, this was a very profitable deal.
However, Liang Yuzhu knew deeply that many things in this world actually develop from small matters.
For example, those corrupt officials, when they first became officials, basically held the ideal of being good officials and deeply detested bribery and using power for personal gain.
And what likely broke through their psychological defense was not a large sum of money, but merely a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of wine.
When Liang Yuzhu first started working, she was not in this city but at the Yuzhong Police Station.
The old Police Officer who mentored her at the time told her a story about the former Director of the Yuzhong Police Station.
That was a name once famous throughout the land, bearing countless titles, including the good name of "Anti-Gang Director."
This is a typical story of a dragon slayer eventually becoming an evil dragon. The reason he was exposed was surprisingly because his wife learned from investigators that her husband was playing with young girls outside, became intensely jealous, and personally led the investigators to dig up the swimming pool on the villa's rooftop, finding tens of millions in ill-gotten gains.
And the beginning of this Director's transformation, according to the old Police Officer, was simply meeting a coal Boss while directing a coal mine rescue operation.
That was back in the 1990s. At that time, the Director was just a section chief and wasn't eligible for a car. Seeing him put his heart and soul into the rescue, the coal Boss personally picked him up and dropped him off every day to show his gratitude.
One day, it rained heavily, and the coal Boss didn't come. The Director had no choice but to hitch a ride, walked a section of mountain road in the rain, and was completely soaked by the time he reached the rescue site. So he angrily asked the coal Boss why he stood him up when they had agreed.
The coal Boss apologetically said that the rescue was at a critical juncture and he was too busy to leave. "Take the car keys, drive it back today, and drive it back to me tomorrow."
The most brilliant moment in his career was personally capturing a ruthless bandit who had been wreaking havoc in the Bashu region for nearly ten years, committed over ten crimes, and killed or injured dozens of people. When he called his superior to report, his superior asked where the bandit was, and he answered forcefully, "Right here, under my feet."
This incident was widely praised at the time, and people across the country remembered his righteous answer.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike collapses from an ant hole.
Praise was overwhelming, but no one knew about his degradation behind the scenes. Its depravity broke through human bottom lines, fully revealing the evil of human nature.
Selecting concubines in junior high, at least four junior high girls were insulted, and the female Captain of the Municipal Bureau's Economic Investigation Team was occupied for over ten years, making her afraid to marry or even date...
During the day, he led the Municipal Bureau's team; at night, he led all the triads in the Yuzhong area.
As for corruption and bribery, those were all just trivial matters.
This story startled the novice Liang Yuzhu, and even today, she still remembers it clearly, not daring to forget it for a moment, to the extent that she has even developed a form of spiritual Mysophobia (purity obsession).
This is also the reason she is full of resistance towards Yuan.
Because she knows that human nature has weaknesses, and everyone's heart actually houses a demon.
However, at this moment, she began to face a choice.
Sighing softly, Liang Yuzhu knew that she already had the answer.
Some things must be done, and some risks must be taken!
Whether she would also turn into an evil dragon was her own business.
But catching those smuggling criminals was her duty and something she had to do.
She was a woman with a more delicate mind. In her opinion, the most heinous crime of the Sihai Group was not their smuggling of crude oil, auto parts, etc.
But, smuggling seafood contaminated by nuclear leakage!
In terms of value, seafood smuggling was actually the slightest of the Sihai Group's suspected criminal activities. However, Liang Yuzhu, as the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, stubbornly chose this direction as a breakthrough for investigation.
Because she knew that external nuclear radiation was not actually too harmful, as long as it wasn't a very strong radiation source and one wasn't exposed to a radioactive environment for a long time. For example, hospital X-rays are a form of radiation; the impact of taking a single film on the body is negligible and can be directly ignored.
But seafood is not an X-ray; seafood is meant to be eaten. And after being eaten, the nuclear contamination sources carried on the seafood are likely to remain in the body, or even be digested and absorbed by the body.
That would be a lifetime of suffering!
Cancer, leukemia, hair loss, tooth loss, osteoporosis...
Each one is a nightmare, not to mention all of them concentrated in one person!
In Liang Yuzhu's view, this nuclear-contaminated seafood was like individual demons. She would never allow this food to be served on the tables of innocent Chinese people, and she must bring those beastly scumbags to justice!
For this, she was willing to pay any price!
Taking a deep breath, Liang Yuzhu stood up.
She looked at Director Zhang: "Director, I was just about to tell you about this."
"I've arranged to talk with that friend after work, so I might have to leave early," she said apologetically.
"It's okay, go quickly," Director Zhang didn't see the look in Liang Yuzhu's eyes; he spoke expectantly.
"Notify us immediately if you get any information," he instructed.
...
Since she had made her decision, Liang Yuzhu didn't waste any time and immediately changed into her police uniform.
While getting into a police car, Liang Yuzhu started sending voice messages to Lan Zijun.
"Lan Ziju, help me contact Yuan and tell him I agree to his cooperation method."
"I'm heading to the Second Peoples Hospital now; ask him to send the information over."
"Also, tell him to get the intelligence ready!"
"Okay!" Lan Zijun's reply was quick and concise.
Liang Yuzhu put down her phone, her expression slightly depressed.
On one hand, she felt a sense of being forced into something against her will, and on the other hand, it stemmed from Yuan's disregard for her.
Because Yuan actually didn't leave her a direct contact method!
What did that mean?
Is her Police Officer status completely without deterrence in your eyes?
Liang Yuzhu gritted her teeth secretly while starting the car.
After this matter was over, she definitely had to find this Yuan.
Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, didn't she know how to do that? Moreover, she was the soldier, and he was the thief; doing this felt like there was absolutely no psychological pressure. After all, helping these people mend their ways, turn over a new leaf, and become new people was the original intention of the law and her duty as a law enforcement officer.
It was decided happily just like that!
Under a series of Ah Q-style psychological comforts, Liang Yuzhu finally felt much better. She started the car and drove out of the Municipal Bureau's parking lot, heading straight towards the Second Peoples Hospital.
The Municipal Bureau was located near the city center, just over three kilometers away from the Second Peoples Hospital. Although there was some traffic during rush hour, Liang Yuzhu still only took about ten minutes to arrive at the entrance of the Second Peoples Hospital.
After parking the police car, she opened her phone screen while walking towards the hospital entrance.
Lan Zijun's message had already been sent while she was on the road, but she didn't have time to look at it while driving.
As soon as she opened the message, a test report came into view, and Liang Yuzhu was slightly startled.
Wang Hai? Su Meili?
These seemed to be Wang Jian's eldest son and daughter-in-law, meaning Wang Lin's elder brother and sister-in-law.
Did Yuan ask her to investigate this report because there was something fishy about it?
She frowned and carefully examined the report on the screen.
"Test subject: Su Meili, Family member: Wang Hai."
"Gestational age: 7 weeks"
"Gestational sac size: 325mm"
"Maximum amniotic fluid depth: 47mm, excellent sound transmission"
"Code: XY"
Seeing the last line, Liang Yuzhu's expression also changed.
Any fool knew that XY appearing on a pregnancy test only represented one thing: the fetal sex chromosome!
In other words, this so-called pregnancy test report was actually a fetal sex identification report!
And, it was brazenly produced by a public hospital like the Second Peoples Hospital!
Liang Yuzhu was somewhat angry, but amidst the anger, her heart was filled with doubts.
Was this behavior the result of the doctors at the Second Peoples Hospital being blinded by greed, disregarding national law, or was there another hidden reason?
Moreover, logically, these reports are private, and hospitals would never leak them without authorization.
How did Yuan get it? Does he really have connections everywhere, even having informants in the hospital?
Steadying herself, Liang Yuzhu turned and walked towards the obstetrics department.
The test report had the name of the testing doctor; she would know if she found her and asked.
It was dinner time, and there weren't many people in the obstetrics department. Liang Yuzhu found a Doctor who was sitting with his hands in his pockets by the nurses' station, showed her identification, "Hello, I'm Officer Liang from the Municipal Bureau. Is Dr. Zhou Yu here?"
"I am. What can I do for you?" The other person was slightly startled and looked at Liang Yuzhu in surprise.
Liang Yuzhu was also slightly surprised; she hadn't expected this obstetrician to be a male Doctor.
You check fetal positions every day, use your fingers to check how many fingers the cervix is dilated, etc. Isn't it awkward?
Alright, she was being old-fashioned. She heard that male Doctors were assigned to obstetrics because they had better physical strength, and perhaps delivering a baby really required strength like in a tug-of-war. Liang Yuzhu hadn't given birth, so she didn't understand.
With a serious expression, she took out her phone, handed it to the other person, and subtly observed his expression, "Did you perform this fetal sex detection report?"
"Fetal sex detection report?" Dr. Zhou was a little confused and flustered. He carefully looked at Liang Yuzhu's phone, and as soon as he saw the name on it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He spoke frankly, "So Officer Liang, you're here because of this. You scared me; I thought there was some medical accident."
"This report, I did it, and it's legal!"
