How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 39 - 39 39 The Unspeakable Case

39: Chapter 39: The Unspeakable Case 39: Chapter 39: The Unspeakable Case Upon arriving at the Detective Agency, Lin Xiaosu immediately smelled a fragrance as she walked through the door.

This fragrance was very elegant, certainly a high-quality product.

The middle-aged beautiful woman sitting opposite Miao Ruolan was definitely significant, at least her features were striking, having most likely been a beauty who stood out from the rest in her youth.

More importantly, her demeanor was dignified and she appeared well-cultured, not like the newly rich types such as Sister Song.

“Is this Detective Lin?” the beautiful woman asked.

“Yes!

May I know your distinguished surname, ma’am?”

“Zhuang!

Zhuang Mengdie!”

“What an elegant name!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Please, tell me about your situation…”

Zhuang Mengdie proceeded…

Her situation was similar to most other wealthy women.

The similarity was that she lived a privileged life, and her husband managed businesses.

The difference was that unlike others who relentlessly pursued and schemed against mistresses, she had seen through it all.

With ample money at home and a husband who liked to spoil others, she let him be and found peace in his diverting attention elsewhere.

Why bother?

Life is short, just a fleeting season.

Why waste the precious time on such matters?

Isn’t it foolish?

However, while the tree desires stillness, the wind does not cease.

She didn’t want to engage with the mistresses, but a mistress wanted to target her!

There were signs indicating that a mistress wanted her dead.

Because this mistress believed that by removing her, the legitimate wife, she could eventually take her place.

Thus, her sole purpose of visiting the Detective Agency was to find this treacherous mistress, set an example by dealing with her, and to make it clear to everyone in Fengcheng that while touching her wealth might be tolerated, endangering her person was not!

Once the case was explained, Miao Ruolan was stunned…

So enlightened?

Lin Xiaosu chuckled, “Sister Zhuang, if you want to find all the mistresses, that would be difficult, but just finding one shouldn’t really require a detective, right?”

Zhuang Mengdie gently shook her head, “It’s not as easy as you think.

If I wanted to find a mistress, it would indeed be easy to grab a bunch, but how would I know which one among them harbors evil intentions?”

Lin Xiaosu’s eyes gleamed, “Sister Zhuang, could you tell me how you confirmed that a mistress wants to kill you?

Have there been any specific actions taken?”

“It’s difficult to say, but to save my own life, I have to speak out…”

Last night, after her husband returned, they were intimate.

At the time, she didn’t think much of it, but this morning, she felt abnormal itchiness and discomfort down there.

After summoning her family doctor for a check-up, she was shocked to learn that she was infected with a highly contagious Genetic Toxin.

The infection mode was simple, via direct contact, and once infected, it would cause severe and stubborn deterioration of the genital area, potentially fatal in serious cases.

“Genetic Toxin?” Lin Xiaosu was startled.

Nowadays, anything related to genetics was a sensitive topic—Genetic People, Genetic Transformation, Genetic Toxin.

Others might not know about Genetic Toxins, but he did.

Zhuang Mengdie said, “Yes, this Genetic Toxin is developed in Nanmo State, with its most unique trait being its transmission only among females!”

“It binds with the XX chromosome in women, causing genetic mutations…”

“Does Detective Lin know of this toxin?” Zhuang Mengdie’s eyes brightened.

“I do!

If this toxin is indeed deployed by a mistress, the sophistication of the scheme is quite extraordinary,” Lin Xiaosu said.

“Her target is probably not just you.”

Zhuang Mengdie gasped, “Right!

Her targets are all the other mistresses, besides her, and myself, the rightful wife!”

She knew her own man well, he was someone who never bothered with protection when doing things.

In his dictionary, he had plenty of money, so what if he got a few more sons?

When encountering a mistress, once he got in the mood, it didn’t matter whether it was in the office, on a chair, in a car, or outdoors, he was ready to get busy at any time.

Thus, as long as he got infected with this Genetic Toxin, whether it was his mistress or his wife, anyone who appeared in his sight was doomed.

In this way, his mistresses and wife would all be caught in one sweep.

The only person left would be the poison man!

She could monopolize this billionaire all by herself.

When others fight over mistresses, they confront them publicly on the streets, but she fights them using her man as a weapon, letting him personally reduce their number.

You have to admit, she’s pretty clever.

Despite Miao Ruolan’s flushed face and racing heart throughout, her mind was clear: “Sister Zhuang, this case seems rather complicated.”

“Yes!

I can offer a high price!” Zhuang Mengdie said: “It was said previously that you charge a starting fee of thirty thousand for a case, I’ll offer a hundred thousand to find this wretched woman and make her pay!”

A hundred thousand!

Miao Ruolan’s heartbeat quickened…

Lin Xiaosu slowly raised her gaze: “Take it!

Give me some time!”

The contract was signed, with a thirty thousand deposit paid upfront, Sister Zhuang left the shop, and a red car silently stopped and merged into the stream of Fengcheng people.

This red car, a limited edition, sold on the market for over a million.

“Do you know who her husband is?” Lin Xiaosu slowly raised her gaze.

“Wang Changfa!

That name sounds a bit familiar…” Miao Ruolan said.

“The name is familiar because he occasionally appears on TV and in newspapers!” Lin Xiaosu said: “He’s the owner of Hongxing Pharmaceutical.”

“Hongxing Pharmaceutical?” Miao Ruolan picked up her phone and searched.

Indeed, a piece of local news popped up…

On March 17th, Hongxing Pharmaceutical Company and the largest local pharmaceutical company, Dell Company, had discussions and reached a preliminary consensus to jointly promote pharmaceutical collaboration to better serve the whole region’s populace.

Lin Xiaosu glanced over: “Do you see what’s written?”

Miao Ruolan responded: “It’s written right here, quite straightforward: the two biggest local pharmaceutical companies are preparing to join forces.”

Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: “You’ve read a heap of detective books and stuffed yourself with professional knowledge, it’s time to learn some other knowledge.”

“Like what?”

“Like understanding the news.”

Miao Ruolan widened her eyes: “I don’t understand this news?

That can’t be, it’s just a few sentences, a ten-year-old child would understand…”

“You understand the literal meaning, but you don’t understand the news!” Lin Xiaosu said: “This is a news press release, meant for the public to read, but as detectives, we need to learn to look beyond the surface to the essence!

For example, what you see is the two biggest pharmaceutical companies joining forces, but what I see are two major pharmaceutical companies with deep conflicts.”

“Conflicts?

Where do you see that?” Miao Ruolan was truly clueless.

Lin Xiaosu explained: “During a business discussion between two big pharmaceutical companies, there would be topics set for negotiation, right?

Even the smallest item agreed upon would be specified in the press release.

But is there any substance mentioned in the release?

Absolutely no concrete content, just empty phrases, what does that imply?

It indicates that despite the high-profile discussion, not a single point of consensus was reached.

Moreover, don’t overlook the fact that this news is on a government platform…”

Miao Ruolan continued to be puzzled: “What about it being on a government platform?”

“It signifies that this discussion was driven by government departments!

Normally, businesses wouldn’t disregard the stance of local government departments if they want to continue developing locally, yet they did not comply, which clearly shows that their disputes and disagreements are irreconcilable.”

“I’m convinced!” Miao Ruolan said: “After hearing what you’ve said, it really makes sense.”

“It indeed makes sense!” Lin Xiaosu stood up…
