One week later.

Shi He Pharmaceuticals had an important meeting, chaired by Zhishu Lv, who was ill.

Halfway through the meeting, there was a sudden shock. The police suddenly broke down the door and arrested Zhishu Lv amidst the uproar. The police officer holding the arrest warrant said Zhishu Lv was suspected of being involved in the cross-border crime case of Zhilong Huang Entertainment, and she was summoned for interrogation according to the law.

"Who are you to arrest people for no reason? What evidence do you have to arrest people? Zhishu Lv was in an agitated state and refused to cooperate.

"The arrest warrant needs to be reviewed and approved before it can be issued, and it is enough to prove that we have the appropriate materials in hand. Please cooperate with us in our investigation at the police station, during which we will show you the evidence in person and need your cooperation in explaining."

While keeping an eye on Zhishu Lv, the officer instructed his left and right to take control of Zhishu Lv, the vice president of Shi He Group.

"There's another person who needs to cooperate with the investigation, and that's Mr. Yu He."

The secretary next to him was shocked and scared and said in a trembling voice, "He, Mr. He went to Hiroshima on a business trip ......"

The officer turned back with a sullen face: "Then let's ask Mr. Lu to go alone first."

Interrogation room at Huzhou City Police Station.

Monitoring is turned on and staffing is complete.

Zhishu Lv sat in the interrogation chair, immobilized. In front of her are several high-ranking Huzhou police officers, and another, not in the police system, sits with a grim face, accompanied by a guard, with his arms in the middle.

Zhishu Lv had previously thought that with their umbrella power within the Huzhou public prosecution system, it was unlikely that they would suddenly take her into custody for trial. She even had some kind of ridiculous scenario floating through her head, she thought it could be that Duan Wen felt that she was not handling the situation properly, so she wanted to abandon her son?

But she didn't think it was right, didn't she close the loophole? She even tricked Yu He into working for her willingly ......

It wasn't until she saw the man sitting in the big chair in the middle that she changed color and knew why Huzhou's umbrella wouldn't hold.

--This is a storm.

Sitting there gloomily is none other than Man Chen's own grandfather ......

Commissar Wang!!!

"The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. The first officer cleared his throat and let Zhishu Lv's gaze move away from Wang Zhengwei, and then said, "So, we will not say so many polite words, today invited you to come, mainly want you to identify something."

The officer spoke and took out a pill box in an evidence bag, the packaging of the pill box showed the item was a bottle of cough syrup.

"This medicine, you must know it."

Zhishu Lv forced himself to calm down: "...... recognize, this is our factory production of children's cough and stasis relief lotion."

"The batch from May this year, with foreign language printed on it, is a Class III drug that your company intends to export abroad." The officer added, then opened the bottle, "This is our Hiroshima joint case officer, Comrade Yan Chen-"

The company also took a glance at the political commissar Wang, originally a very majestic voice with more or less pleasing meaning.

"Seized from the Shi He Pharmaceuticals Hiroshima warehouse during a raid on Hiroshima law and order."

Zhishu Lv slowly calmed herself down, she had seen many big storms over the years, didn't she rely on her cunning and calmness to dodge them all? She adjusted her breathing and lifted her eyes: "This is just a bottle of syrup, which is available in the domestic market, and with all due respect, I don't know what is so out of order about it that I need to be offended by you guys like this."

"We certainly wouldn't be at liberty to offend you." The sheriff said, "So obviously, this is no ordinary bottle of syrup either."

"During the sniffing process, our police dogs showed a strong reaction to this batch of syrup in your Hiroshima warehouse, but the contents are not drugs or explosives." The sheriff said, taking out a pile of paper and having the junior police officer standing next to him hand it over to Zhishu Lv.

Zhishu Lv swept over and saw the words "forensic report", while she heard the sheriff say:

"After monitoring, the ingredient inside is a rare drug that was once present in the Zhilong Huang case, the same one that was forcibly injected into Officer Chen by criminal officers at the time, causing him to be admitted to the hospital and injured - listening water!"

"......"

"Mr. Lu, it is Zhilon Entertainment that uses the listening water. Then the ...... that produces the listening water is your Shi He Pharmaceuticals?"

Zhishu Lv's face was like ashes: "Nonsense! You are framing!"

"This is just a routine inquiry."

Zhishu Lv : "I don't know what listening to water ...... moreover have not developed any listening to water! This cough syrup is a regular drug approved by the state, sold for so many years has never been anything wrong, not to mention the existence of any negative news!"

"But the solution in here tested out and it does belong to the same class of substances as the kind of banned substances used by Zhilon Entertainment."

Zhishu Lv's fat breasts puffed out like a bullfrog, and after a moment, she suddenly thought of something and snapped, "This is what you found in Hiroshima's warehouse, where so many people come and go every day, and anyone has the opportunity to change the original syrup into this so-called contraband drug! How can we prove that this is what we produce? How can we prove that this is what we intend to trade?!"

"You mean you think someone is deliberately setting Shi He up to make drugs?"

"Isn't it obvious!" Zhishu Lv five thick carrot-like fingers clenched tightly, trembling voice said, "Conspiracy ...... calculations! It is someone to take advantage of my husband's new bereavement, the company has not yet filled all the loopholes in all aspects of this gap, deliberately changed the drug to plant us!"

Several police officers looked at each other.

The sheriff at the head: "So, you've never used this potion either, much less produced it, have you?"

"...... Yes!"

The sheriff held his arms in his hands and tapped his fingertips on his arms.

"Mr. Lu, seeing as we have known each other for many years and Shi He Group has paid a lot of taxes to the country, let me advise you - if there is something, it will be much better for you to give an account earlier than later. There is no good result for lying."

Zhishu Lv's face turned pale, and a few words squeezed out from his thick lips, "I'm telling the truth. Our company has never engaged in any activities that violate laws and regulations. I can swear upon the heavens."

"Mr. Lu is not religious, right? That swearing to God is really worthless."

A piercing radio sharpened, and a voice with a sneer came from the corner of the interrogation room.

Zhishu Lv lifted his head abruptly-

It was a loudspeaker for external surveillance in the upper left. There were not just a few people in the room watching while she was on trial, there were people before the monitor screen.

"Who?" She was creeped out.

"Mr. Lu can't hear my voice? It's okay, then I'll come directly in front of you, you wait a moment."

After a while, the door of the interrogation room was really pulled open by the police on duty left and right, and the blinding light from outside shone in, cutting out the sturdy figure of a man. The man is really too tall, an estimated 1.9 meters, so that he entered the door had to slightly lower his head, and only when he came in, he straightened up, raised his face, hands behind his back, is habitually standing in a military posture.

Zhishu Lv As soon as he saw him, his face brushed white and he muttered, "It's you ......"

This man is none other than the second brother of the Wei family.

Er Wei, in his military boots, stared at Zhishu Lv like a tiger ready to pounce as he walked over to the interrogation table, where he stood and saluted first with Grandpa Man Chen: "Political Commissar Wang."

The political commissar Wang saw that Zhishu Lv seemed to be in a state of extreme anger, and did not say a word throughout the interrogation process, but only very gloomily kept looking at Zhishu Lv, and only then did he pull out a trace of attention and nodded briefly to Er Wei.

"Coming? Show that to her."

Er Wei came in front of Zhishu Lv and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Lu."

Saying no nonsense, he handed her a pile of copies of the materials.

"A confession of guilt. A man in the Golden Triangle drug cartel just confessed, saying that he and you, Mr. Lu, had dealt in high-purity ecstasy raw materials. And the kind of ecstasy is the spice detected at Xuan Court on the day of the wedding banquet."

Zhishu Lv heard half when the legs were trembling: "That ...... that is just a coincidence. That incense ...... that incense is my personal business, is what I use for myself and my husband, this you also want to care?!"

"Is that so?"

Er Wei gave a cold laugh.

"There's no rush, so take a look at this again."

He said, taking his phone out of his pocket and flipping it over with a snap, unveiling the contents of a restored video to Zhishu Lv.

Zhishu Lv only glance, the last bit of blood on the skin also instantly disappeared, the whole person is like a mummy just poured out of the coffin, dry, stiff.

This is actually a surveillance video of the Xue Xie wedding lodge! A waitress was sweeping the hotel, after about three minutes, another person appeared in the video, dressed in luxury, small elephant-like legs stepping forward, the hemline of the skirt waves, it is she herself is correct.

The video shows Zhishu Lv looking to his right and left, seeing no one under the corridor, he came to the waitress and after talking to her, Zhishu Lv suddenly took out a perfume bottle-like object from his bag and sprayed it on the waitress' face.

The waitress took a few panicked steps back, but within two seconds, she seemed to calmly accept the strange occurrence, bowed to Zhishu Lv, and went back to pack and organize the tools she would use later. Zhishu Lv, on the other hand, left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that someone might notice the scene.

The picture ends here.

Er Wei finished playing the video for Zhishu Lv and asked in a gloomy way, "How was it, was it good? Do you like it? I liked it so much that I watched it over and over 70 or 80 times."

Zhishu Lv : "......"

At this time, Wang Political Commissar only slowly spoke, the old man did not burst into rage, but the air pressure in the room seemed to be lowered by many degrees: "Do you have anything else to say."

Zhishu Lv's lips opened and closed, closed and opened again, beads of sweat dripping from her broad forehead, she swallowed repeatedly, her mind whirling. Finally, under the cold interrogation lights, her eyes slowly lifted up, the blood in them crisscrossing like a spider's web.

"You still can't call this evidence."

Er Wei is close to giving her a slap: "I tell you Zhishu Lv, this video was destroyed at the time but I found someone to spend a few months to restore it, notarized and complete, you can not allow your upper and lower teeth to say what is not considered evidence over here."

Zhishu Lv knows that he must be bitten to death at this point, and once she loosens her own mouth, it is a real disaster.

She then fished back the calmness that had tried to drain from her body bit by bit, along with the vocal line that had escaped from her throat, and seized it all together.

"...... I didn't say the video was fake." Zhishu Lv took a deep breath, finally did his best to stabilize his mind and replied, "The video is real."

Er Wei narrowed his eyes, "Then you are still going to argue-"

"But what proof do you have that I was spraying her with listening water?"

The little cop on the sidelines: "You-!!!"

Zhishu Lv : "I was spraying at her is oral deodorant water, I carry it with me, her mouth smells, I do not like it. This is me treating people rudely, but it's out of your hands."

The young policeman almost shot up: " Zhishu Lv! This waiter later said he lost consciousness, his body also detected traces of drug use, you are here to say what the big talk! You still want to deny ......"

"She was unconscious and there were traces of drugs on her body, so it couldn't have been someone else?" The company's ability to make up its mind and refuse to relent is unmatched by anyone else, and people facing such evidence would have been scared to admit it, but Zhishu Lv knows that there is no such thing as "confessing and resisting", and once she confesses she will be finished.

After recognizing this, her attitude is like a brick wall, how to knock the wind does not leak.

"What evidence do you have to prove that the spray I used at the time, was the listening water? Is there any such evidence? Er Wei less?"

Er Wei : "...... You don't recognize this, do you?"

"I don't recognize it."

Zhishu Lv and Er Wei stared at each other for about ten seconds, Er Wei's fists clenched, and finally sneered, "Mr. Lu really has a wonderful mouth that can bring you back to life."

" Er Wei Shao you are overstating the case." Zhishu Lv cold sweat is still bubbling out, but slowly getting more and more calm, "Besides, I don't have any reason to let a waiter to ruin your Wei family's marriage. Don't you forget, I have a lot of business dealings with your family, and my friendship is not bad in normal times, ruining the marriage of Wei San Shao will not do me any good."

Er Wei : "Maybe it's another person you want to destroy?"

"The other guy? Qingcheng Xie?" Zhishu Lv snorted, "He's just a college professor who was hired by my family four or five years ago, and has no personal grudge against me. I don't care about people like that, not to mention that if he really offended me, I could use all sorts of other means to get him in trouble, so I don't need to go through all that trouble."

After a pause, she continued, "And Er Wei less you don't forget, that incident, the last person to suffer is my son. If our group really has any conspiracy, Yu He would not be unaware of it. You don't think I can harm him as well."

"With what I've known about Mr. Lu for so many years." Er Wei said, "You are really no better to your eldest son."

"It's not for you outsiders to know if it's good or not." Zhishu Lv said, "Also this has strayed too far from what we are talking about now."

The beads of sweat on her forehead gradually diminished, and her eyes stared at Er Wei slyly.

After this exchange of enemies, she has determined that it was not Duan Wen who was deliberately abandoning her, otherwise they would have had more evidence in their hands, and in this way, her fears subsided quite a bit.

And she was sure that the police's ring of evidence was not comprehensive enough-they had something on hand that could scare her into an outright confession, but as long as she didn't let go, that evidence couldn't really take effect. She even understood that Commissar Wang had personally appeared here to put pressure on her mentally as well. If they already had enough direct evidence to prove that there was a problem with Shi He Group, then there was actually no need to labor the grand tour of Commissar Wang at all.

Zhishu Lv thought so, and settled down again.

She didn't even sound very shaky at this point and said, "Your ring of evidence cannot be closed and you cannot convict me. I have completed my cooperation with your investigation in accordance with the law, now, please let me out of here immediately."

Commissar Wang has been gloomy, a few seconds, or a dozen seconds later, he suddenly walked out of the interrogation room without saying a word first.

The sheriff glanced at the back of Commissar Wang - he now seemed a little more nervous than Zhishu Lv, who also needed to settle down.

"There's no rush, Mr. Lu, you're all here." Finally it was Er Wei who opened his mouth first, raised his hand, looked at his wristwatch, "Since you are innocent, there is no need to worry too much, according to the legislation, the arrest warrant is valid for you for 48 hours."

"What do you mean? You're going to make me stay here for 48 hours?!"

"It's in compliance."

"You're holding up my group's business, and you think my time is ordinary people's time? I warn you, Er Wei--"

"It's useless for you to warn me about anything." Er Wei said, "After such a big incident at my brother's wedding banquet, it's hard for me not to suspect that someone is framing our Wei family, this is something I have to find out, within these 48 hours, we will try our best to find more evidence, such as ......"

He paused for a moment, leaned down and said softly, "We will join Hiroshima's police and do our best to trace the shipment that Mr. He is personally watching out for at sea."

Zhishu Lv's pupils suddenly contracted.

"In fact, Hiroshima is already on the move, Chief." The junior officer temporarily transferred from Hiroshima behind him said immediately, "As soon as we have the results, we will contact Huzhou."

"Then we'll see what happens." Er Wei tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Mr. Lu, if you really walk the talk, you won't be afraid of these 48 hours. 48 hours later if we still have nothing, we will definitely send you back to your house respectfully, at which time my nephew will personally apologize and will try to make up for your loss."

Zhishu Lv's face turned slightly pale, but he didn't reach the point of being extremely fearful.

They ...... are going after Yu He's ship ......

She had enough trust in Yu He's mind, Yu He was very smart, and before he left, she had specifically told him that this shipment was the last one, and the whole He family was now a grasshopper on a rope, so she told him to be extra careful and improvise.

At this point in time, if there is no accident at sea, Yu He has already sailed completely out of the country's territorial waters and reached the high seas. With the high seas, Yu He did not have to report to the domestic navigation base station, and with his hacking ability, the Hiroshima police did not have a chance to locate his vessel within a short period of time.

It is never that easy to catch up with him.

"Good." Zhishu Lv's eyes rolled up and stared at Er Wei , "Then we'll, well, we'll see."

Outside the interrogation room, Political Commissar Wang lit a cigarette.

The sheriff followed him out, sincerely and fearfully: "Commissar Wang ......"

" What about Hiroshima." Although the specific ingredients of the listening water, he has been based on what Qingcheng Xie said to him at that time, only released to a very small number of people, and strictly do a good job of secrecy, but according to the current form, the problematic situation of this potion seems to be much more serious than he imagined.

He is now trying to both ensure that this drug is not known and studied by more people, and to do his best to control and investigate the whole thing deeply. At the moment he has to be careful and prudent in hiring people.

He didn't lose his temper with the sheriff, he just asked for the results.

The sheriff said stiffly: " Yu He's ship has indeed sailed out of the territorial waters, in the high seas domain, although we are on Zhishu Lv to carry out a sudden arrest, but he should still use his way to detect, he is now turned on the anti-tracking program mode, the ship ...... satellite monitor completely unable to find, in case he docked at the port for loading and unloading, or take advantage of this time to connect with other ships in the high seas, or simply destroy those contraband drugs, then we will be very difficult to find any evidence."

Political Commissar Wang glanced behind him at the interrogation room, then took two more hard puffs of his cigarette, "Isn't there any way to break through his anti-tracking program mode?!"

"According to our understanding, Yu He's hacking ability perennially occupies the top five in the international hacker list, and the actual level is even the first. With such ability, even if military equipment is used, the breakthrough time will be very long. Unless--"

"Dilly-dallying, it's been a while now, but unless, unless what? You tell me!"

The sheriff wiped his sweat: "Unless he himself is willing to respond to calls or messages so that they can be traced ...... but he is certainly not stupid ah, who else's message at this moment is he must return? Hiroshima is trying all sorts of things over there, and your grandson has been working on it, but look at this ...... Why don't we try using Zhishu Lv's phone?

Political Commissar Wang: "Hurry up and try!"

The team ended the interrogation and took Zhishu Lv into custody.

The sheriff took the phone with the evidence bag over it, and in the office, in the mist of a group of big men smoking cigarettes, through the bag, called the technical detective to unlock and open that phone. Then they started calling Yu He.

"Duh ...... duh ......"

These people had little hope that Yu He would answer the phone, but they didn't expect Yu He to refuse so simply, hanging up after only two rings.

Sheriff: "...... He's not afraid of what's going to fucking happen?"

Er Wei sank his face: "He was clear that he gave signal feedback before something happened."

"Then how about trying to send a message again ......" the sheriff said, although he knew it didn't work at all, but it would look better than the way they are now helpless, and maybe it would give so little good image to Commissar Wang.

The message was sent, using subtle words, and if Yu He was not wary, or if there was a wavering in his mind, there was a good chance he would respond.

However time passed by minute by minute, minute, ten minutes, half an hour ......

The atmosphere in the room was frozen to the core.

Political Commissar Wang's face was ironic, and it was at this point that a phone rang in the room, and he immediately looked up, only to find that everyone was looking at him.

It turns out that it wasn't Zhishu Lv's phone that rang, but his own.

Wang did not want to answer, looked at the caller, is in Hiroshima with the investigation of this matter Man Chen, then cleared his throat, and picked up the phone.

"Hey, um, you said ......"

In less than a few words, the political commissar Wang, who was holding the phone, changed his expression slightly, his gaze turned to the office door, and said under his breath, "Is it? Is it useful? That's fine, yes, you tell him to come over."

The commissar put down the phone and his eyes turned to the door.

" Yan Chen said he told someone about it and that person could try it, but he wanted to talk to us first."

As soon as the words were spoken, there was a knock on the office door.

A police officer opened the door: "Leaders, chiefs, there is a man who claims to be able to assist in solving the crime--"

Before she could finish her sentence, the political commissar interrupted her with a wave of his hand and told her to bring the man in.

An office of people staring at the door, to see the visitor are a little surprised, especially Er Wei, he originally hands clasped arms hanging on the chair, as soon as he saw the visitor's eyes widened, hands loose, body slightly forward.

Qingcheng Xie thin but still very upright figure appeared there, his face is almost no blood, the whole person is like a fog condensed into, at any time and anywhere will be scattered like.

His cold, sharp eyes glanced around the room and finally fell on Grandpa Man Chen.

"Political commissar Wang. It's been a long time."
