Magical Girl Fan Bingbing

After receiving Officer Shen, Jiang Li and Nuan Yu immediately interrogated the hospital leaders.

However, Jiang Li is not a professional in this area. Although she has received relevant training, her performance in actual combat seems to be less than ideal.

Jiang Li thought she had mastered the basics, but after trying it on her father a few times, she found that she was so bad at it that she couldn't even get anything out of him. Jiang Li then began to doubt herself.

Before she could get her father to talk, Jiang Li felt she still needed to practice more.

Therefore, the interrogation was handled by Officer Shen, a senior investigator, while Jiang Li and Nuan Yu stood in the interrogation command room behind the one-way glass to control the situation.

The hospital leader's surname is Li, hereinafter referred to as Li Mou.

With Officer Shen's skillful interrogation techniques, and given that the person being interrogated, Li, was not a tough nut to crack, the interrogation quickly came to a conclusion.

According to Li's confession, the reason he chose to purchase the goods from private channels was simple: the monthly quota of magic essence allocated by the superior department was simply not enough, and the hospital where he worked was an affiliated hospital of a university, with an absurdly heavy research task and a huge demand.

To this end, Li has tried to coordinate quotas with several friendly organizations by phone, but none of them have enough, let alone any more to share with others.

Just then, Li met his old friend Lin at a class reunion. The two had been classmates when they studied at the medical university. After a hearty meal and drinks, Lin boasted that he had connections in the upstream supply chain of the magic element factory and could reliably supply large quantities of 99% purity crystals.

Most of the people at the table didn't believe it at all. Crystals of this level are basically impossible to find among the general public unless there is a special need and approval from higher authorities. Most people took Lin's words as drunken boasting.

Only Li was interested. He contacted Lin afterward, and after expressing his desire to buy, Lin readily agreed to his request, saying that he could provide the goods soon, but the price would be a bit high.

110 million per bottle.

At first, Mr. Li also felt that the price was much higher than the normal purchase price, but after he saw the sample brought by Mr. Lin, he was immediately captivated by its dreamlike blue color.

Then, Li began to take advantage of his position to purchase five bottles from Lin at a price of 1.2 million yuan per bottle using hospital funds.

As for the 100,000 yuan difference per bottle, it all went into Li's own pocket.

At this point in the investigation, the entire sequence of events has become quite clear. Li was merely a downstream consumer; the real key figure was Lin.

Jiang Li deduced that this Lin was likely one of the distributors under the disaster master. As long as he was caught, it would be like touching the root of the disaster master's tail.

Jiang Li suggested that coercive measures be taken against Lin immediately to avoid any unforeseen complications, and Nuanyu agreed with her suggestion.

The two quickly obtained an arrest warrant from the city police branch and, with a Watchers squad, began Operation Thunder.

As for why the branch office could issue an arrest warrant directly without going through the prosecutor's office...

This is simply the special privilege of magical girls in solving cases.

Holding the document signed by the branch captain, Jiang Li immediately ordered the technical department to conduct a technical investigation on Lin, using technical means to locate Lin's mobile phone signal and continuously track and monitor him.

Jiang Li straightened her police uniform, waved her hand, and led a carload of the Watchers squad into action.

With two magical girls and a guardian squad personally involved, there was no way this operation could go wrong.

However, when the car arrived at its destination, Jiang Li suddenly realized that the place looked familiar.

Or rather, it looks too familiar.

The car slowed down and stopped in front of a gray-white building. Through the car window, Jiang Li saw the all-too-familiar bronze signboard—Tianhai City Biological Research Institute.

Jiang Li remained seated firmly in the passenger seat.

"Isn't this Mom's workplace?!"

Because of Song Mingyue's work, Jiang Li often comes to this place. She knows the layout of the place better than she does at school, and she could walk around it with her eyes closed.

That's why Jiang Li hesitated a little after the car came to a complete stop.

It's not that she's worried about being recognized. With the existence of a cognitive filter, even if her own mother stood in front of her, she wouldn't be able to match Xiao Qinglong with her own daughter.

Jiang Li was really worried about something else.

"Could Mom be involved in this too?"

Song Mingyue held a high position in the research institute, being one of the core researchers. In theory, the core members of the research institute had the right to know about the underhanded dealings of someone like Commissioner Lin, who was involved in procurement for many years.

If Song Mingyue is also a link in this sales chain...

Jiang Li's mind completely exploded in that instant.

Am I supposed to turn against my own family for the sake of justice in my very first case?

A thin layer of sweat quickly beaded on her fair forehead, and her knuckles gripping the car door handle turned slightly white. The pressure she faced at this moment was no less than when she confronted the disaster master in the warehouse that night.

"Or... should we just turn a blind eye?"

The moment the thought crossed Jiang Li's mind, she was startled by her own words.

For Comrade Xiao Qinglong, who is eager to advance her career, doing such a thing would be an indelible stain on her resume and would be fatal to her future political career.

But if she really caught her own mother, Jiang Li felt that she would basically have no future.

"Little Azure Dragon?"

Nuanyu noticed Jiang Li's unusual behavior. Seeing her looking like she was facing a formidable enemy, Nuanyu assumed she was too nervous because it was her first time carrying out a formal arrest mission. So, she kindly patted her shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Don't be so nervous. This operation isn't difficult. If you really can't handle it, just follow behind me and see what I do."

Jiang Li's lips twitched; she didn't know how to answer.

Does she expect to watch Senior Nuanyu arrest her own mother right here in front of her?

After much deliberation, Jiang Li finally made up her mind.

She believed her mother wasn't that kind of person. Even if there was some connection, there must be a reason!

Even if the final result doesn't turn out as she wishes... at least let her confirm it herself.

"Senior Nuanyu, please have your men check all the entrances and exits. I still have some things to confirm one last time."

Under Nuanyu's questioning gaze, Jiang Li walked to a secluded corner, deactivated her transformation, and then used her phone to call Song Mingyue.

The call connected very quickly.

"Why did you call so suddenly?" Song Mingyue's voice still sounded mature and lazy, with the sound of typing faintly audible in the background.

Jiang Li took a deep breath and lowered her voice to make her tone as natural as possible.

"Mom, I have a question for you... Do you know someone in your office named Commissioner Lin?"

"Yes, I know him." Song Mingyue paused in her typing for a moment. "He works in administration, in charge of external procurement and material coordination. He's a long-time colleague. Why are you suddenly asking about him?"

Has he shown any unusual behavior lately?

"Something unusual?" Song Mingyue's tone was more doubtful. "Nothing unusual, is there? I don't have much contact with him, and he's not under my jurisdiction. Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Li finally felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

Song Mingyue spoke calmly, without any of the nervous pauses or attempts to evade the question that often occur when asked about sensitive topics. If she had truly been involved, her reaction wouldn't have been so natural.

My mother is most likely unaware of this.

"That's good." Jiang Li let out a long sigh of relief. "Mom, are you in your office now?"

"I'm writing a report in my office. What's up?"

"Just stay in your office and don't come out." Jiang Li lowered her voice even further. "There's going to be some commotion outside soon, so don't get involved or go downstairs."

"...What happened?"

Jiang Li did not answer directly, but told Song Mingyue to go back to her office first, because she saw several police cars coming outside the research institute, and then hung up the phone.

After transforming again, Jiang Li arrived at the entrance of the research institute, which was already controlled by two Watchers. Even if Commissioner Lin grew wings, he would not be able to escape.

"Take action immediately!"

Without further hesitation, she immediately issued an arrest order to Nuanyu and the Watchers team.

When the receptionist at the research institute saw two fully armed magical girls and an entire squad of Watchers stride in through the glass door, he froze on the spot.

"Excuse me, did Specialist Lin clock in today?"

Jiang Li didn't change her tone; it was still that clear voice, but every word carried a sense of pressure.

"They...they hit them!"

"Which floor is his office on?"

"The third...the innermost room on the east side of the third floor..."

Jiang Li nodded and turned to walk towards the elevator. Nuan Yu and the Watchers team followed closely behind.

When the people in the research institute saw this group pass by, they all cast various glances at them, including several uncles and aunts that Jiang Li was quite familiar with.

Normally, Jiang Li would definitely go up and greet her with a smile.

But now, she has to hold on.

The elevator dinged and stopped on the third floor. Jiang Li took a deep breath and stepped out. Walking through the familiar corridor, Jiang Li quickly arrived at the door of Commissioner Lin's office.

The watchman at the front pushed open the door.

Commissioner Lin was sitting at his desk, holding an exquisite purple clay teacup in both hands, looking relaxed and content as he sipped the freshly brewed tea with relish.

Hearing the office door being rudely pushed open, Commissioner Lin frowned and was about to reprimand them when his gaze fell on the Watchers squad dressed in black tactical gear.

Then, the attention fell on the two magical girls with completely different auras.

Jiang Li took out the arrest warrant from her pocket and took a step forward.

"You are Lin..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Li saw Commissioner Lin suddenly jump up from his chair, his movements so fast that they were nothing like those of a middle-aged man who usually sits in an office.

He flung the purple clay cup to the ground, where it shattered.

He reached into the computer with one hand and swiftly unplugged the black USB drive from the USB port. He then raised his other hand and slammed it down with a powerful punch.

The moment Lin saw the Watchers squad, he understood everything.

Although he had prepared himself mentally since he entered this industry, he found himself quite calm when the day actually arrived.

The USB drive contained not only his own evidence, but also a lot of other evidence.

If he goes in alone, the higher-ups might try to save him, but if they go in with him, then no one can save him.

In the blink of an eye, Commissioner Lin had made his decision.

boom!

A fist slammed down. The hard USB drive casing shattered, and the broken edge cut the skin on the back of his hand, causing blood to gush out instantly.

"stop!!"

Jiang Li had not expected the other party to act so decisively.

She instantly activated her physical enhancement, leaped forward, and kicked Commissioner Lin to the ground. Then she turned and pounced on the table to salvage the shattered USB drive. The Watcher followed closely behind, firmly pinning Commissioner Lin down.

But when Jiang Li looked down and saw the USB drive that had been smashed into more than a dozen pieces by a punch, her heart sank instantly.

USB flash drives are not mechanical hard drives. Even if a mechanical hard drive is physically broken into small pieces, there is still a chance that a professional laboratory can read some of the data from the disk itself.

However, the storage medium of the USB flash drive is a flash memory chip, and with Lin's punch, he shattered both the circuit board and the flash memory chip.

The success rate of subsequent data recovery is very low.

"Cuff him."

Jiang Li forced out those words through gritted teeth.

"Take everything from this house!"

She was so angry that she wanted to punch Commissioner Lin, and at the same time, she wanted to punch herself.

Why can't we do what the God of Calamity did to us, and just go up and elbow someone to the ground first?

Jiang Li made a mental note of this, deciding that in the future, when dealing with this kind of person, she would first subdue them upon meeting them, and postpone things like showing identification.

The commotion in the office quickly alerted the entire third floor.

Hurried footsteps and hushed conversations echoed down the corridor. Several high-ranking leaders from the research institute blocked the office doorway one after another, watching the Watchers inside ransacking the place. They couldn't help but step forward and ask what had happened.

When some of them saw that Commissioner Lin's hands were handcuffed, their expressions changed subtly, and they broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Li glanced at the faces and silently memorized them.

She's in a bad mood right now, so she'll leave the explanation to Nuanyu.

Just as she stepped aside, preparing to quietly observe the reactions of these leaders, a soft sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind the crowd.

A figure so familiar it was almost unbearable slowly squeezed through the gaps in the crowd.

Song Mingyue, one of the core members of the research institute, was present.

====

It's probably beyond saving...

The first warning indicated that about ten chapters violated the rules. I deleted and revised them before submitting, but it was not approved.

The number of chapters that violated the rules for the second time increased to more than twenty. They were deleted and revised, but they still didn't pass the review.

This is the third time. The chapters that violate the rules now account for more than half of the entire book. Each time, the number of violations increases, and the content marked each time is different.

Moreover, after each revision and submission, it takes at least a day to wait, during which time the book is blocked, there is no promotion, and the income is basically zero.

The marked content is basically the core setting of this book. For example, if the word "magic element" appears, no matter what the specific content is, a large paragraph above and below it must be changed. If it is really changed, then this book will not be the original book.

I'm exhausted these past two days. I'll try to revise it one last time, and then I'll leave it to fate.
