Chapter Ninety-Two Major Discovery

The courtyard was deathly silent; that bastard hadn't returned yet.

According to Wang Shenghua's intelligence, the deputy director's wife passed away several years ago, and he has been a widower ever since. He is praised by everyone in the hospital as a devoted lover who is "deeply affectionate," and has even been featured in the newspaper and received commendation for it...

A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Baozhu's eyes, but her actions were swift and decisive. She conducted a thorough search of the room with remarkable speed and efficiency, her eyes scanning every corner. Finally, she found her target in a hidden compartment at the bottom of the desk drawer—a small radio transmitter and a piece of paper covered with mysterious numbers.

She picked up the "ciphertext," which contained a jumble of three-digit combinations: 145 238 067... utterly incoherent. Lin Baozhu immediately understood that this must correspond to some kind of "codebook"! Her gaze swept across everything in the room...

Then I saw a Bible that had been turned over so many times that the edges were curled up!

She picked up the Bible, quickly flipping through the pages, lines, and words corresponding to the numerical combinations on the encrypted paper… With each page she turned, the chill in her eyes intensified! “Beast!”

"Scumbag!"

"Worse than a beast!"

She suppressed her burning rage and meticulously memorized the heinous and inhumane instructions in the coded message.

After confirming that she had memorized it, Lin Baozhu quickly found some oil paper and wrapped the telegraph machine, the Bible, and the code paper tightly into a ball. She pried open an inconspicuous brick in the yard, dug a deep pit in the cold, hard soil, and buried the items without hesitation.

After doing all this, a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Looking around this house, which was once filled with hypocrisy and evil—the den of a dog spy who was about to be shot!

"To rid the people of a scourge, and incidentally clean up the garbage dump."

Without hesitation, she took action. Anything of any use or value, from furniture and clothing to pots and pans, even needles and thread... vanished instantly, as if swept away by a whirlwind!

In the end, not a single thing was left of the house. She clapped her hands, satisfied, and happily climbed over the high wall again to leave…

Lin Baozhu practically ran all the way into the county public security bureau gate.

The young policeman guarding the lobby stood up in surprise: "Comrade Baozhu?! What brings you here again? Could it be... could it be that you've discovered something again..."

He was too nervous to say the words "murder case or spies" afterward, but his expression clearly betrayed it.

"Is Team Leader Wang here? It's urgent!"

Lin Baozhu asked urgently.

"In the office."

Thanks!

She didn't stop, heading straight for Wang Shunzheng's office!

"Team Leader Wang!"

Wang Shun was holding a teacup when he looked up and saw her. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes: "Comrade Baozhu? What brings you here at this hour..."

"Team Leader Wang, I went to the hospital to check on Donkey's testicles..." Lin Baozhu quickly recounted everything she had seen and heard that afternoon.

The more Wang Shunzheng listened, the more his brows furrowed, and his expression grew increasingly grave. After Lin Baozhu finished speaking, he finally asked in a deep voice, "What you've said...do you have any concrete evidence?"

"This medicine bottle..."

Lin Baozhu placed the unassuming little brown bottle on the table and continued, "It was done by my 'informant' at the hospital. The bottle is labeled streptomycin, but what exactly is inside needs to be determined by the technical team's analysis. But..."

Her voice suddenly lowered, tinged with coldness: "Today, when I served those two doctors in white coats 'vegetable soup,' I heard the deputy director... shout 'Baka!' with my own ears!"

"Baka?!"

"Clatter!" The lid of the teacup in Wang Shunzheng's hand fell directly onto the table! He stood up abruptly, the chair legs scraping against the floor with a screeching sound!

"This matter must be reported to the director immediately! It involves searching hospital personnel, and the procedures..."

Lin Baozhu followed behind him and muttered under her breath, "...Last time when we caught Han Meili, you weren't this meticulous about procedures, were you? If you keep dragging your feet, the cooked duck will really fly away..."

Wang Shunzheng paused slightly, then quickened his pace, almost rushing towards the director's office!

Inside the director's office.

Director Zhuang, his face flushed and spittle flying from the phone, exclaimed, "Hey! Director Liao! Oh dear, I appreciate the city bureau's offer to help catch Zhang Baikui and the human traffickers! But don't bother! Our county bureau just got a 'lucky charm' for solving cases, and in half a day! Just half a day! Zhang Baikui is in custody! The human trafficking den has been raided! And we even caught eighteen 'big fish' (spies) along the way! ...Hey? Hello? ...Tsk, why is the signal so bad right now! Old Liao! Let's talk later!..."

With a "snap," he hung up the phone decisively.

Director Zhuang, clutching his prized tea mug, took a satisfying sip, looking as smug as a cat that had just stolen some cream: "Heh heh, trying to poach someone? No way! Lin Baozhu is our county bureau's 'national treasure'! No... just pissing off Old Liao isn't enough, I also have to 'report the good news' to Old Liu at the city bureau. He'll get his scolding back this morning, with interest..."

He picked up the microphone again with great enthusiasm.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Director Zhuang yelled irritably, "Team Leader Wang? You're not interrogating the criminals but running here... Hey? Trying to steal my tea leaves again?!" He made a gesture as if to bend down and take off his shoes.

"Good morning, Director Zhuang!"

Lin Baozhu peeked out from behind Wang Shunzheng with a smile.

"Oh dear! Comrade Baozhu!"

Director Zhuang's disdain instantly transformed into a smile, his change of expression faster than flipping through a book: "Why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten? If not, have your auntie make her signature braised duck..."

"Let's eat the duck another day, Director Zhuang!"

Lin Baozhu got straight to the point: "I have an important report!" She quickly and concisely recounted what she had seen at the hospital, Wang Shenghua's testimony, the deputy director's suspicious behavior, and the crucial evidence of the medicine bottle.

"The situation is urgent! I suspect the deputy director of the infectious disease department at the county hospital is a spy! We need a search warrant!"

Upon hearing this, Director Zhuang's eyes lit up! Good heavens! Is this lucky comrade destined to be involved with spies? In one day! The aftershocks of two sensational cases hadn't even faded, and a trip to the hospital in the evening had already lured out another "big fish"! This year's county bureau's year-end report is practically gilded!

Thinking of that impressive report card, he didn't hesitate. He yanked open the drawer, pulled out a piece of paper, slapped it in front of Wang Shun, and glared at him: "What are you standing there for? Same old rules, write a 'public complaint' report! Hurry up!"

Wang Shunzheng sighed resignedly, picked up his pen, and began to write rapidly.

Lin Baozhu was dumbfounded: ! You can do that?! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

"Ring ring—"

A procession of bicycles sped out into the evening glow, heading straight for the county hospital!

As soon as she stepped out the door, a familiar, strong, and nauseating stench suddenly rushed into Lin Baozhu's nostrils!

She forced herself to stay awake and looked towards the source of the nausea, her gaze suddenly colliding with the scorching, sharp gaze from the window of the gatehouse!
