Shen Qianqian slightly understood Li Tong’s action of drinking water and nodded, "Yes."
"So, her skin tone isn’t a normal yellow, but a mottled yellow, not something that was formed by exposure to the sun," Lin Chuan said.
"What does this have to do with her being undercover?"
Shen Qianqian was a bit eager, very keen to know how Lin Chuan figured out that Li Tong had been undercover.
"This is a matter of experience," Lin Chuan chuckled lightly, speaking in a leisurely manner, "If you knew about the manufacturing process of addictive drugs, you would know that Drug No.2 requires a key chemical component."
"What is it?"
Shen Qianqian widened her eyes, asking with an inquisitive tone.
"Sodium nitrite," Lin Chuan stated directly, "It’s a strong oxidizer, irritating and corrosive. If the skin comes into direct contact or inhales a high concentration of the gas, it can cause skin irritation, burning eyes, and respiratory irritation."
Shen Qianqian, having some knowledge, took over the conversation, "In high-temperature environments, when it comes into contact with other combustible materials, it can easily explode."
"Exactly."
Lin Chuan acknowledged, "So, the yellowness of Li Tong’s skin is actually due to her long-term exposure to sodium nitrite, and even, I suspect, she might have experienced a minor sodium nitrite explosion or combustion event."
Shen Qianqian suddenly understood, "So that’s why."
After Lin Chuan explained it this way.
The complete logical reasoning emerged in her mind.
An International Police officer, working for years in Southeast Asia, under what circumstances would she often come into contact with sodium nitrite?
Clearly, she wasn’t involved in research and development, nor was she a chemist.
Thus, there was a very high probability that she was undercover in the production line of addictive drugs, frequently exposed to sodium nitrite.
Shen Qianqian kept guessing.
The reason why Li Tong sported short hair was perhaps due to ’Lin Chuan’s speculated explosion.’
In the police profession, it is permissible for women to have long hair, provided it is not draped over the shoulders but tied up to avoid interfering with work.
Before meeting Li Tong, the information Shen Qianqian received also indicated that the former Li Tong did not have the short hair she now sported.
So, using his ’face reading,’ Lin Chuan had guessed correctly.
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Sum up the experience."
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips slightly, "Where did your experience come from?"
Lin Chuan was startled, then laughed it off, "The waiter is bringing the lunch, let’s eat first."
Where did the experience come from?
Of course, it came from practice.
But under Shen Qianqian’s intense scrutiny, Lin Chuan wouldn’t talk recklessly.
On the other hand.
After Li Tong and Qin Yun left the small conference room, they returned to their work area, that is, the International Police Local Liaison Office (temporary).
Originally, Anling Police Station had not set up this temporary liaison office.
Now, the Asian General Bureau had specifically sent two elites, so they established the temporary liaison office for Li Tong and Qin Yun to work in.
"Qin, what do you think of this Lin Chuan?"
Inside the temporary liaison office.
Li Tong placed the information on the desk and asked.
Qin Yun, being a reader of Lin Chuan, carried a bit of ’bias.’
He said, "Lin Chuan’s insight is very sharp; I feel like he’s naturally cut out for criminal investigation."
Li Tong laughed, "His insight is indeed sharp."
Just by his perception, Li Tong could tell he was no ordinary man.
He had revealed that she had been undercover, specifying that it was in the addictive drug production chain.
This deduction was something that even world-famous detectives might not be able to reason out in a short time.
Li Tong was also astonished.
She had no idea how Lin Chuan had figured it out.
"It’s amazing!"
Immediately.
Qin Yun changed the subject, "However..."
"Keep talking," Li Tong smiled.
Qin Yun pondered for a short moment, "However, his appetite is a bit big, he might be aiming too high."
"He’s not wrong about that; he wants to destroy two major crime syndicates in one fell swoop, which is too ambitious. I had never even considered that possibility. If I had, Old Zhao would have been stunned for a couple of seconds."
Li Tong’s expectations for Lin Chuan weren’t high.
At the moment, the conditions for taking down Morgan and Baisheng were not ripe, and the timing was also off.
"Should we report this to Old Zhao?"
Qin Yun asked.
Their Old Zhao was Zhao Haiping.
Zheng Ming’s old friend.
"Of course," Li Tong nodded, "this is Lin Chuan’s idea, and Old Zhao specifically instructed us to pay more attention to Lin Chuan."
Qin Yun nodded, then immediately took out a tablet and initiated a video call with Zhao Haiping.
Dialing—
The video call was connected.
On the screen appeared Zhao Haiping, with his square face, stern appearance, salt-and-pepper hair, and piercing eyes, which held a hint of laughter.
Zhao Haiping said, "Qin, how is it going?"
"Report, we have gained a preliminary understanding of the cases involving Yu Qin and Croney, and are still continuously following up. In Yu Qin’s case file, we obtained a large amount of information on the Morgan Group. Croney has kept his lips sealed and hasn’t revealed any useful information..."
Qin Yun explained to Zhao Haiping all the clues, information, and evidence they had gathered that morning.
He spoke in great detail, and Zhao Haiping nodded frequently.
After listening, Zhao pondered for a moment, "So, this Comrade Lin Chuan has successively arrested Yu Qin and Croney. Is he as capable as my old friend said?"
Li Tong and Qin Yun looked at each other, remaining silent.
Through the screen, Zhao Haiping saw Li Tong and asked, "Li, it seems you have something to say?"
Li Tong smiled, "Comrade Lin Chuan is indeed very capable, but his ideas concerning the Morgan Group and the Baisheng Group differ somewhat from our initial thoughts."
"They differ from ours?"
Zhao Haiping frowned slightly, looking puzzled, "Does he want to back out at the last moment?"
"That’s not the case," Li Tong chuckled dryly, "Comrade Lin Chuan doesn’t want to back out, but instead wants to completely eradicate the cancerous tumors of Morgan and Baisheng."
Zhao Haiping’s lips twitched immediately.
Good fellow.
A radical move against the two major crime syndicates Morgan and Baisheng!
Even a radical would think this is too extreme, right? Stay connected through empire
"Did he really say that?" After a while, Zhao Haiping finally asked.
Li Tong nodded, "Absolutely true."
Zhao Haiping laughed heartily, "Such youthful fearlessness."
But, it was just the boldness of youth, when one feels invincible and dreams of heroic deeds.
A bit of bravado, no problem.
Zhao Haiping recalled his own youth when he had once fantasized about taking down all the crime syndicates in the world.
But reality had taught him that it had been just youthful exuberance.
Li Tong also smirked, "Old Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Haiping picked up a thermos from the table and gently took a sip, "This direction is correct. From the beginning, our goal has been this, only our actions and the timeline for achieving this may be a bit longer."
Qin Yun listening on the side tried to discern whether Zhao Haiping agreed with Lin Chuan or not.
Li Tong, experienced as he was, immediately understood, "Alright."
"I’ve also been in touch with Elder Zhong from the Han River Police Station and reached a consensus. Li Tong, you’ll lead a special task force as the team leader, and Lin Chuan will be the deputy team leader."
