Yan Li put down his chopsticks with a serious face and stopped eating.

"What kind of bottle?"

"A small paper bag with medicine inside." Lin Minjun felt a little strange and asked subconsciously, "What's wrong? Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Our unit discovered that there is a group of people in North City who specialize in selling fake medicine. It's a gang. The fake medicine they sell doesn't have a bottle, it's just wrapped in white paper. We took it for testing and it turned out to be just ordinary vitamin C with no other effects, but it's sold at a very high price," said Yan Li.

Lin Minjun was shocked: "Ordinary vitamin C, Aunt Cao said she spent twenty yuan on it, and people still believe it?"

But she soon realized that this was actually a placebo, just like a cold, which can be cured with or without medicine. After taking the medicine, she attributed the effects to the efficacy of the medicine and believed in it without a doubt.

For example, if they sell the medicine to 20 people, as long as 10 of them recover from their illness after taking it, people will continue to buy and continue to believe that this is a business that is sure to make money.

Those who sell fake medicine will also advise others not to go to the hospital, saying that it is too expensive and the doctors will cheat you, so you should never go and just take some medicine.

So everyone believed it and really stopped going to the hospital.

But what about those whose conditions worsen due to taking fake drugs? Those who sell fake drugs don’t care.

Thinking of this, Lin Minjun couldn't help but sigh, "Fake drugs are really harmful to people. It would be great if you could catch these people earlier."

"The victim we found so far refused to say who sold him the drugs. The old man believed this. His children came to report the case, but he refused to cooperate."

At this point, Yan Li stood up and said, "I'll go talk to Aunt Cao and see if I can find out anything."

After a few days, Lin Minjun suddenly discovered that Aunt Cao had not taken that magic medicine for several days. She kept it a secret and did not ask any questions. When she got home in the evening, she asked Yan Li what he had said that day. Aunt Cao was actually willing to listen.

Upon asking, I found out that he had already told Aunt Cao about the fake medicine gang. Fortunately, Aunt Cao was not completely confused. She didn't believe what others said, but she finally believed it after the police told her.

Now that Aunt Cao knows she has been cheated, she refuses to take vitamins anymore.

Yan Li also wanted to catch the person who sold the drugs through Aunt Cao, and then follow the clues to catch the person behind it.

But things didn't go as smoothly as expected.

Because Aunt Cao could only see the people who sold fake drugs, but not the big boss behind the scenes.

They were a gang that sold fake medicines. Their methods were not very sophisticated, but they were very good at making up stories and deceiving people. Many people who had been deceived still refused to believe that they were scammers, and were unwilling to tell the police about the situation of those people.

If we arrest the drug seller without thinking, we might alarm the enemy, and the big boss behind the scenes might run away, and then the crime would revive.

Yan Li usually does not discuss work at home, nor does he tell his family about work matters.

This time, Lin Minjun also got involved. She was familiar with Aunt Cao and could get close to her, so she said a few more words. He continued, "We are now discussing finding someone to go undercover to buy drugs, lure out the big boss, and then arrest him, but there is no suitable candidate in the unit at the moment, and we don't know how to act."

Many of today's public security officers are former military personnel. They can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, but they really cannot act.

After hearing this, Lin Minjun thought for a long time, then pulled Yan Li and said, "Brother, what do you think of me? I can help you with this and be an undercover agent."

"I want to help you catch the big boss. Do you know how to fish?"

"How do you fish?"

Lin Minjun moved closer to Yan Li's ear and breathed her warm breath into his.

She mumbled on for a while.

"What's the matter, brother? Why don't you say anything? Don't you believe I can do it?" Lin Minjun asked.

Yan Li frowned, not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm. "I know you want to help, but it's not that easy. No one knows what the boss is like. It could be dangerous. You haven't practiced before. What if you run into danger?"

"I can adapt to the situation." Lin Minjun blinked, "You shouldn't be too far away from me by then. I will try to deal with the situation first, and then call you over."

She pulled Yan Li and begged, "Just give it a try, just let me give it a try. You can't find the right person right now. It's not a solution to drag it on like this."

There are no serious consequences yet, but if someone doesn’t go to the hospital and delays treatment because of taking fake medicine, that would be a sin.

Yan Li didn't agree for a while, and he tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep. The next morning, he said to Lin Minjun, "Okay, I'll go back and report to the unit and see if it's okay. If you really want to go, you must pay attention to safety."

"good!"

****

"Aunt Cao, I'm here."

Today is the day when Lin Minjun goes undercover to help catch the boss behind the fake medicine gang.

Lin Minjun made an agreement with the police that today Aunt Cao would take her to find the fake medicine seller. She would make up a pretext that she wanted to buy medicine, and try to call the big boss out and catch him red-handed.

So today, I specially closed the restaurant and brought Aunt Cao here to catch the fake medicine seller.

Lin Minjun wasn't nervous yet, but Aunt Cao was already extremely nervous.

Hurrying out of the alley, Aunt Cao said, "Xiao Lin, are you sure we are not in danger?"

"I'm sure." Lin Minjun pulled her out and asked, "What's the situation of the seller? Is she a man or a woman? How old is she? Do you know where she lives?"

"It's a woman, about my age, also an old lady, very easy-going and talkative. I know where she lives, in Xuanwu. I always go to her house to buy medicine."

When Lin Minjun heard about this situation, she started thinking about how to deal with it.

She then asked, "When you go to her house, do you usually run into anyone there?"

Aunt Cao shook her head and said, "No, she doesn't live with the family and doesn't go out very often."

Lin Minjun thought that as an old lady living alone, there was nothing to be afraid of. Even if they really fell out, she could just pull Aunt Cao and run away.

The security issue was resolved first, and Lin Minjun began to think about what she would say to trick the big boss behind the scenes when she arrived at the destination.

She began to talk to Aunt Cao, "When we get there, you can tell her that I am a young wife from the countryside who was lucky enough to marry into the northern city. My husband's family is rich."

"Why do you say that?" Aunt Cao looked confused.

"A young wife from the countryside knows nothing and is easily fooled by them. She believes whatever they say. My husband's family is rich, which means I can afford to spend the money." Lin Minjun said without hesitation.

Having said this, if Aunt Cao still doesn't understand, she is a fool.

So she quickly figured it out, "It's just a show for you, right? I understand this, don't worry, I will never let you down. But Xiaolin, I think there's something else that doesn't make sense. You're a country girl who married into a rich family, but even if they have money, it's their money, and they don't let you use it. This doesn't make sense either."

At this point, Lin Minjun suddenly smiled, took out the thermos and poured some water into her hands, then touched her eyes with the water. "Then I will say that I can't have a baby, and my in-laws are worried, so they want me to see a doctor, and then cry a few more times. Do you think this looks good?"

Aunt Cao looked at it for a long time and said, "It looks a bit like it. Let's try it."

She took two steps but was still nervous. "Are you sure we won't be in danger today?"

Lin Minjun was very sure, "No, don't look at us. There is no one behind us. In fact, we are hiding from the police. If there is any danger, just shout and the police will come directly."

Aunt Cao was fooled and pretended to be brave enough to take Lin Minjun with her. They walked all the way to a small alley. The alley was remote and there were few people there during the day.

She followed Aunt Cao all the way to the innermost part, to the door of a small bungalow, and Aunt Cao went up and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Someone in the room answered soon, and it turned out to be an old lady.

Aunt Cao came up to her and said, "Sister, it's me. I'm here to see you."

There were footsteps inside, and then the door opened slightly, and an old lady looked at people through the crack.

She didn't react when she saw Aunt Cao, but when she saw Lin Minjun standing next to her, Aunt Cao immediately said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to see strangers? Why did you bring a stranger here? This has ended our relationship. Don't come to see me again in the future!"

As she said this, she withdrew her gaze, took two steps back and was about to close the door.

Aunt Cao rushed over and said something nice, "Don't worry, elder sister. This is not a stranger. This is my neighbor. We have lived together for many years. This little girl is also here to buy medicine. If you don't believe me, ask her."

She turned and winked at Lin Minjun, but didn't dare say anything, for fear of letting the cat out of the bag and being exposed.

Before Lin Minjun came, she planned to use her identity from her previous life and pretend that she was a helpless young wife who couldn't bear the child and had to seek medical treatment everywhere.

Before coming here, Lin Minjun was afraid that her acting wouldn't be convincing and wouldn't be able to impress people, but when it really came time to act, that emotion came naturally.

She seemed to have returned to the time in her previous life when she was running around trying to have a child. The tiredness, helplessness, and the feeling that seeing the doctor was like seeing a life-saving straw all appeared on her face at once.

Lin Minjun blinked, tears fell in the next second, she spoke with a sobbing voice, "Auntie, I came here from Yunnan and married two years ago, but I still don't have a child. My in-laws said that if I can't have a child, they will kick me out of the house. If I get divorced, where can I go? I can only beg for food. I heard from Aunt Cao that you can treat diseases here and cure the disease of infertility, so I asked her to bring me here. Please help me think of a solution."

The eldest mother had looked at Lin Minjun with a wary look before, but this time she looked over and it was unclear whether she believed it or not.

Meeting her eyes, Lin Minjun was worried for herself.
