The next morning, Zhou Qiqi went straight to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to find Captain Li.
The matter was of great importance, and the two spent the entire morning in the office. Zhou Qiqi explained the situation and her suspicions in detail, and also submitted the crucial test report.
Zhou Qiqi was constantly thinking about Shen Huaichuan, knowing that he must have had a sleepless night, waiting for news from here.
So as soon as he finished talking with Captain Li, he didn't even have time for lunch and rushed back to the unit, heading straight to the regimental headquarters office in Shen Huaichuan.
Shen Huaichuan was writing a document, but as soon as he saw her come in, he immediately stood up.
Zhou Qiqi quickly closed the door, and without even catching her breath, she told Captain Li everything that had happened.
Upon hearing that the matter involved the parents of the former commander and might even involve premeditated murder, Captain Li's expression immediately changed. He took it very seriously and, without delay, immediately made a phone call to the director of the B City Public Security Bureau.
The two old comrades-in-arms communicated the situation over the phone. Captain Li spoke earnestly, even saying, "Consider it a favor I owe you, brother," and asked the other party to investigate the matter secretly as soon as possible and to do everything in his power.
Zhou Qiqi silently remembered this favor, thinking that she would definitely repay Captain Li in the future.
To her and Captain Li's surprise, when the police chief of City B heard about the matter, he not only did not shirk responsibility, but also told them an even more shocking piece of news in a solemn tone.
In the past six months, some poorly made counterfeit drugs have indeed started to appear sporadically in City B. Several cases have been reported, with people saying that the drugs did not help but worsen their condition.
They've been investigating, but this group is very cunning; their transactions are very secretive, and there are few leads. The investigation hasn't made much progress, and the higher-ups are pressing them hard, putting them under a lot of pressure.
The clues provided by Zhou Qiqi, especially the clear suspicion of He Wanrou and the physical evidence of "fake medicine," were a godsend for them!
It immediately connected the previously scattered clues!
The bureau chief immediately made a decision, and immediately selected capable personnel to form a special task force to go to the sanatorium to secretly investigate all people and things related to He Wanrou, and dig up the evidence no matter how hard they had to!
"They said that He Wanrou is now actively purchasing and using counterfeit and illegal drugs. If we follow this lead, we're sure to make a major breakthrough!"
After Zhou Qiqi finished speaking, she added:
"They even praised her, saying that it's fortunate we've kept He Wanrou here so she can't go back. That way, if she really left any evidence in City B, she won't have a chance to go back and destroy it."
Hearing this, Shen Huaichuan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
His heart had been in his throat since last night, filled with anger, resentment, and lingering fear. Only now, hearing that the investigation had been launched rapidly, did he feel a sense of security.
He looked at Zhou Qiqi, his eyes filled with gratitude and lingering fear, his voice slightly hoarse:
"Qiqi...that's wonderful! Really...thank you..."
Zhou Qiqi felt a little embarrassed by his earnest thanks and waved her hand:
"Why thank me? Captain Li is only helping out because of you."
"No, you don't understand,"
Shen Huaichuan shook his head, looking at her intently, his tone extremely serious.
"I mean, without you, without your meticulous discovery of the pills, without your persistence in investigating, without your communication with Captain Li today, I really can't imagine what would have happened? My parents..."
As he spoke, he became somewhat emotional and couldn't help but step forward, gently pulling Zhou Qiqi into his arms. He lowered his head and tenderly kissed the top of her head.
Zhou Qiqi's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly and gently pushed him away, scolding him in a low voice:
"Hey, what are you doing! Let go of me! Don't you know where you are?!"
This is in his regimental commander's office!
Although the door was closed, the curtains on the windows were not drawn, and there were still many soldiers training on the parade ground outside. Every now and then, someone would curiously glance over.
If people were to see their regimental commander kissing his wife in broad daylight, what would become of his dignified and aloof image?
Shen Huaichuan, however, didn't seem to care at all. He even chuckled softly, and without loosening his grip on her arm, he said in a somewhat roguish manner:
"Dignity? What dignity do I have left? The photo of you making me wear that mascot costume last time has already spread throughout the entire group. My image is ruined."
Zhou Qiqi felt a pang of regret when she recalled that incident.
"Oh? It's all over? I knew I shouldn't have let you wear that..."
"It's alright,"
Shen Huaichuan spoke calmly, but his words were full of domineering power.
"When we test our skills against them on the training field, no one dares to disobey us."
Zhou Qiqi looked up at his confident and composed demeanor, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Shen Huaichuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart from her gaze and wanted to lower his head and kiss her again.
Zhou Qiqi quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, her face turning even redder, and hurriedly said:
"Stop fooling around! I have something important to tell you! It's good news!"
Shen Huaichuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the pounding in his heart, and released her hand, but his gaze remained fixed on her face:
"Okay, tell me, what good news is it?"
A joyful smile appeared on Zhou Qiqi's face, and her eyes brightened:
"It's a letter from Grandpa Zhai! He said that the latest overseas treatment information he found for Zhouzhou will be delivered to our factory this afternoon! He told us to keep an eye out for it!"
"Really?! We're finally here! Why did it take so long?"
Shen Huaichuan's joy was palpable; they had been eagerly anticipating this information, which concerned Zhouzhou's future, for quite some time.
Zhou Qiqi quickly explained:
"Grandpa Zhai explained on the phone that the collected materials were too numerous and varied, and most of them were written in foreign languages, mostly in English, with some original German and Japanese books and papers. Such a large box of strange foreign letters and documents was detained and carefully examined by customs for several days! It was only after a lot of effort that they were confirmed to be in order to let it pass."
Shen Huaichuan suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly:
"So that's how it is. It's understandable that customs is conducting strict checks. It's alright, as long as it's delivered safely, that's all that matters!"
A huge weight was lifted from his heart.
With important matters on her mind, Zhou Qiqi, seeing that the message had been delivered, did not linger any longer and hurried back to the factory.
