Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

Yes.

Lin Yaodong didn't want to delay anything; he wanted to get Tazhai started as quickly as possible and get the broken funding chain back in.

Upon realizing this, Cao Jianjun sensed trouble was brewing.

The situation is more complex than I thought.

First, Lin Yaodong will inevitably force him to hand over the technology or be driven out of Tazhai.

Secondly, Lin Yaodong's eagerness to start production and ship goods presented the best opportunity to gather evidence of drug manufacturing in Tazhai.

Third, I must contact Li Weimin as soon as possible and coordinate with the investigation team.

After all.

This is the last chance to arrest Lin Yaodong in Tazhai.

The most important thing right now is how to get the information out.

Cao Jianjun sat in the room, deep in thought again, occasionally smoking a cigarette and pacing back and forth.

Huang Xi watched the boring TV show and fell asleep several times.

Ok?

at once.

Cao Jianjun's chaotic thoughts suddenly stopped. He rolled his eyes twice and opened the system again.

"Ding!"

"Welcome back, host. How can I help you?"

As soon as the system notification sounded, Cao Jianjun was already impatient: "Enough nonsense, system, do you have a drug that can make someone appear dead?"

"suspended animation?"

The system's virtual voice seemed to pause for a moment.

"It's about causing temporary death..."

"clear."

As the system answered, it automatically switched the page to the drug category.

Following that, more than a dozen categories, including sleeping pills, shock drugs, and hallucinogenic drugs, were displayed on the system panel.

"what is this?"

Cao Jianjun was confused: "These drugs of yours can't make you appear dead. The kind of apparent death I'm referring to is the complete loss of vital signs."

"First, there must be no heartbeat or breathing; second, the person must be truly dead."

"However, this process cannot last too long, two or three hours at most, after which the person can wake up on their own..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Jianjun saw the system page automatically display a drug.

The text above is covered with dense foreign symbols, and it's not even in English, so I can't understand it at all.

"Host, based on your request, this system has found this drug."

"After ingestion, the user can reach a state of deep death that lasts for three and a half hours."

"At that time, the body temperature, heartbeat, and breathing will all be maintained as if the person were dead..."

Cao Jianjun really didn't expect that this broken system could be used in this way, but considering that it also belongs to the category of forensic medicine, he immediately understood.

"Okay, can you extract it now?"

"I'm sorry, host, this drug requires nearly 100,000 affinity points, while you currently only have a little over 90,000."

"???"

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjun became agitated: "100,000 affinity points? Brother, what kind of medicine is this? Why is it so expensive?"

"To answer the host, this drug was developed independently by the system based on the host's requirements, so... it requires a large amount of popularity points."

The system's answer was very clear, and Cao Jianjun basically wanted to curse.

In other words, medication cannot achieve this effect at the moment.

After shutting down the system again, Cao Jianjun estimated that with a popularity score of over 90,000, it would take until early tomorrow morning at the latest to break through 100,000.

Thinking about this, Cao Jianjun felt that his plan was feasible.

Therefore, he wanted to place all his hopes on Huang Xi.

Having made up his mind, Cao Jianjun took a deep breath, stubbed out his cigarette, slipped on his slippers, and moved closer to the sofa where Huang Xi was.

"What? What are you doing now? What do you want to do now?"

Upon seeing Cao Jianjun's face, Huang Xi instantly became like a frightened kitten, clutching the cushion tightly.

As he spoke, he extended a finger and pressed it against Cao Jianjun's shoulder.

"I'm telling you, it's impossible tonight..."

"These past few days, you've almost worn me out..."

"You filthy scoundrel, get away from me. You eat like a madman every time you do it."

"..."

Cao Jianjun looked completely innocent, slapped Huang Xi's hand away, and chuckled as he leaned closer to Huang Xi.

"Baby, don't do this..."

"Get away, who's your baby?"

Huang Xi was terrified and jumped to his feet, ready to run away.

Unfortunately, she was still a step too late. As soon as she got up, Cao Jianjun grabbed her legs and pressed her down onto the sofa, then pressed her down on top of him. Their eyes met, and their faces were pressed together.

"Cao Jianjun, you bastard, can't you let me rest for a bit?"

Huang Xi pouted and begged for mercy, "I'm not your wife..."

"listen to me."

Cao Jianjun's smile vanished suddenly. He looked at Huang Xi with deep affection and said in a low voice, "You can't stay in Tazhai any longer. Lin Yaodong might make a move against me tonight or tomorrow."

"Someone died in Tazhai tonight, a very important person."

0 ····Requesting flowers····· ··

"Moreover, I have a premonition that Tazhai is about to start producing drugs, so... Lin Yaodong will definitely come looking for me."

"Either I hand over the technology to him, or I die."

"Either I don't hand over the technology, or I'll still die."

"Because he won't let my technology appear in other places, as that would directly impact the drug sales channels in Tazhai."

"So, Huang Xi, you need to find a way to leave, and then go find Li Weimin from the investigation team as soon as possible."

“Tell him that construction is about to begin in Tazhai, and this is the best opportunity to make the arrest.”

Huang Xi was stunned.

She stared blankly at Cao Jianjun, and after confirming that he was not lying, she pushed him away and sat up abruptly.

"How do I get there?"

“You definitely won’t get out of here alive,” Cao Jianjun said seriously. “Only the dead can leave Tazhai.”

"That……"

Huang Xi was about to ask a question when he saw Cao Jianjun nod at him: "So, I just want you to leave as a corpse."

...

"???"

Huang Xi was stunned: "Cao Jianjun, you...you're not really going to kill me, are you?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Cao Jianjun shook his head and glanced at the time on the wall: "You should prepare tonight. I'll make my move in the middle of the night or early tomorrow morning."

"I'll tell you exactly what to do then."

Huang Xi swallowed hard, staring blankly at Cao Jianjun, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

The mood is very complicated.

Although she knew Cao Jianjun wouldn't really kill her, turning her into a corpse was no joke.

Who the hell can guarantee they'll come back to life? What if they don't?

Huang Xi wanted to refuse, but reason told her that this was Tazhai.

If they didn't leave this way, she and Cao Jianjun would likely both die here.

"Alright! Don't think too much about it, I'll take care of everything."

Cao Jianjun reached out and patted Huang Xi's head, coaxing him like a puppy.

Seeing that it was already past midnight, Cao Jianjun stood up and left.
