I chose one of four options at the start, and I chose the number one clan in Lingnan.

Just as the seal was affixed to the second warehouse door, Lin Fei walked out of the duty room.

He didn't touch the sealed documents, but only ordered the security personnel to retreat outside the cordon, and all the recording devices were turned on.

"Deputy Station Chief Guo, Mr. Lin is cooperating with the lawful inspection. The batch numbers of the goods in the cold storage, quarantine certificates, transport vehicles, and sample retention numbers are all in the system; you can check them item by item."

The basis for the seizure stated that a positive result was detected in the preliminary test at dawn. Please provide the name of the person taking the sample, the time of entry, and the sample sealing number.

Guo Cheng hung his ID back around his neck.

"The anonymous report involves a poultry virus. The municipal quarantine station has the right to seal the affected area before verification. If you insist on having every procedure explained at the entrance, and this subsequently causes contamination and spread, the Lin family will bear the responsibility."

Behind him, technician Wang Zhian picked up the sampling box, preparing to enter the No. 3 cold storage.

Lin Fei glanced at the bulging inner pocket of his work clothes and did not let him pass.

"The cold storage is under 24-hour surveillance without any missing frames. From 6 p.m. last night to this morning, only twelve registered employees entered the storage area."

The personnel who took samples in the early morning, as mentioned in your document, did not appear in the access control system or video recordings.

Guo Cheng placed his hand on the document.

"System records can be modified, and monitoring data can be deleted. Quarantine personnel will retake samples. If you continue to obstruct the way, we will add a record of obstructing inspection and notify all stores to stop selling."

Three media outlets had already arrived outside the warehouse, and public relations personnel from foreign-owned supermarkets were also mixed in with the crowd, their mobile phone cameras pointed at the seals and cold storage signs.

News of the virus being detected in Lin's meat products has appeared on multiple local accounts.

The details were very clear, even listing the batch number, purchase date, and store number of the contaminated pork.

Lin Fu arrived at the scene and handed over the timeline of the outbreak to Lin Ting.

"The first message was sent at 7:42 a.m., and the quarantine vehicle arrived at 8:05 a.m.

The testing hadn't even started, and positive results were already available. The promotional fees for the account came from a food safety consulting firm, and the payment account was linked to Howard's regional market budget.

After reviewing the materials, Lin Ting instructed the process to continue as scheduled.

"If they need to take samples, they must have the municipal bureau and disease control personnel witness it together. Not a single item can be missing from the warehouse, and no extra foreign items can be added."

Lin Fei returned to the entrance of Warehouse No. 3 and switched the wall screen to 24-hour monitoring.

Sixteen screens cover the unloading area, disinfection room, shelf aisle, and sample retention room.

Each batch of meat is sealed and weighed before entering the warehouse, and the pallet number corresponds to the location record of the refrigerated truck.

Wang Zhian stood in front of the door, his right hand pressing down on the inner bag.

Lin Fei pulled up footage of the quarantine vehicle arriving and slowed the playback speed down to one-quarter.

When Wang Zhian got out of the car, the inner bag was still flat. After he entered the quarantine vehicle and stayed for forty-seven seconds, when he came out, there was a hard object protruding from the inner bag.

"Your sampling box is on your left, the sealed bag is kept by another technician, and the item in your right pocket is not on the equipment registration form. Please put it in the evidence tray before entering the cold storage."

Wang Zhian took half a step back.

"These are personal medications, unrelated to the inspection. You have no right to search quarantine personnel; don't use your security status to interfere with official business."

Guo Cheng raised his hand, signaling two staff members to push open the isolation barrier.

"We will first take samples from the cold storage. If the Lin family has any objections, they can apply for a review after the seal is placed. Anyone who obstructs the inspection today will have their name recorded in the on-site report."

Just as the two workers touched the railing, a vehicle horn sounded outside the cold storage.

The Municipal Public Security Bureau's Food, Drug and Environmental Crime Investigation Division, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Market Supervision Special Team arrived at the scene simultaneously.

Captain Chen got out of the car, took the documents from Guo Cheng, and then told the quarantine station staff to stay where they were.

"The seizure notice number is authentic, but the only initiation document is an anonymous report."

The attached test report used a template that was obsolete three months ago, and the tester who signed it was still undergoing training in another province today. Everyone is prohibited from entering the storage area; all personal equipment must be checked first.

Wang Zhian turned around to return to the quarantine vehicle.

Lin Fei sidestepped to block the passage, and grabbed his wrist with his right hand.

Wang Zhian released his hand from the inner bag, and a syringe covered with a transparent protective sleeve fell to the ground.

The syringe had no equipment number and contained a pale yellow liquid.

Disease control personnel donned protective gear and placed the syringes into a sealed box.

The rapid testing vehicle provided results 20 minutes later, showing that the liquid contained a high concentration of avian virus samples, and the outside of the needle cap was also coated with meat tissue markers.

Captain Chen looked at Wang Zhian.

"You come to inspect chilled pork, but your pocket contains a sample of avian virus."

The syringes weren't registered, and there were no other items from the same batch in the sampling box. Do you want to explain the source now, or will you come back with us and we'll discuss it later?

Wang Zhian's forehead was sweating, and he moved his legs backward.

Guo Cheng also wanted to shift the blame to individuals.

"I was only responsible for carrying out the seizure; I didn't know what items the technicians were carrying beforehand."

The notice was issued by the station, and Lin's Cold Storage still needs to suspend operations for review. The entire inspection cannot be negated due to individual violations.

Lin Fu handed a transfer record to Captain Chen.

"Deputy Station Chief Guo received 480,000 yuan last night, paid by Andun Food Consulting. Wang Zhian's wife also received 600,000 yuan this morning."

Both payments went through Shenglian Supply Chain Services Company, whose only client this month was Carrefour's Jiangnan regional headquarters.

Reporters gathered outside turned their cameras toward the quarantine team.

Wang Zhian was taken into the interrogation vehicle and only lasted for half an hour.

He admitted that the syringes were delivered by consultants, and his task was to select a box of meat on the shelf in warehouse number three, inject it into the sample, and then Guo Cheng would specify the sampling location.

Guo Cheng was responsible for issuing the sealing notice, Howard provided the cold storage route, and Bell's operations assistant was responsible for making payments.

After the deed is done, the foreign group will release reports about the virus in the meat to the media and demand that Lin's products be removed from shelves in stores throughout the province.

The municipal bureau traced the communication records to the person in charge of Andun Consulting, whose phone contained meeting recordings and task lists, with the file name "Jiangnan Cold Chain Solution".

At 3 p.m., Howard was taken away from the regional headquarters conference room to assist with the investigation. Bell, who was scheduled to leave the provincial capital on an afternoon flight, was also questioned at the airport.

When the foreign-invested group issued its statement on its personal conduct, the municipal bureau had already sealed the regional budget approval emails.

Howard personally signed off on the consulting fees, and Bell approved the supply chain investigation project; the claim of individual misconduct did not hold water that day.

The seals on the central cold storage were removed by the joint inspection team.

All 326 batches of goods were re-inspected and passed the inspection.

Six stores resumed sales, but fewer than twenty consumer return requests were received, and accounts that had previously spread virus messages deleted their content in batches.

Lin Ting did not stop at arresting people.

He summoned Lin Fu, Lin Fei, and the Lin's Medical Testing Team to the cold storage conference room.

"The fact that outsiders can bring quarantine documents into the house shows that Lin's tracing is not enough."

Samples from agricultural bases, slaughtering and processing plants, transport vehicles, and retail outlets should be collected by the same quality inspection center.

We conduct our own testing for pesticide residues, microorganisms, heavy metals, and cold chain temperatures. We will provide the original records when the relevant authorities require the data.

Lin Fujie noted down the equipment and personnel requirements.

"Building a complete laboratory requires agricultural experts, testing qualifications, and third-party verification. The Lin family can build the site first, but the provincial standards need to be determined by the relevant authorities."

The phone on the table rang at that moment.

After Lin Ting answered the phone, a middle-aged man's opening remarks came from the other end.

"Lin Ting, this is He Zhenchuan, the director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture. I have finished reviewing the materials regarding the cold storage framing case, and I will personally lead experts to Tazhai tomorrow."

"The base shouldn't be adjusted at the last minute; I need to trace it from the fields to the market."
