Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Yu Shan made his decision quickly.

Heaven knows how much weight the name "Lin Chuan" carried within the Anling Police Station.

As for this piece of data, even though it was fictionalized in the novel, the attitude was "better to test and be wrong than to miss a chance."

He had to try it out.

He had to try if there was any chance at all!

"Okay, Captain, I won't disturb you any longer."

Xia Qingqing said politely, then hung up the phone.

At that moment.

She couldn't help but remember the disclaimers Lin Chuan had emphasized over and over again.

—The novel is purely fictitious, do not correlate it with reality.

"No wonder you stressed not taking it as real, if this were reality, emptying a magazine might not even be enough to judge your crimes," Xia Qingqing muttered to herself with a smirk.

Of course, this remark was simply a joke,

She knew that Lin Chuan's novel was made up, but the data in it seemed quite reliable.

Perhaps Lin Chuan had sneakily infiltrated some gray-black industry chains, extracted some information to enhance the realism of the novel.

For a world-class hacker, accomplishing this step was a real possibility.

And those gray-black industries wouldn't sue Lin Chuan.

So, there were no legal issues involved.

After reporting, Xia Qingqing also cleared her thoughts.

Then she closed the split screen on her laptop and once again opened Lin Chuan's novel "Black Ice", reading it carefully.

Outside the window, the sky was like a canvas stained with ink, showing a sliver of moonlight through the gradually thinning clouds, the crescent moon faintly glowing.

Under the cover of night, a gentle breeze blew, carrying the coolness of the night and a faint scent of grass, entered through the window, sweeping across Xia Qingqing's fair and delicate face, stirring her smooth hair, adding a touch of disheveled beauty.

The nights of summer always passed quickly.

Soon enough, the morning light piercing through the clouds arrived, shining upon the land.

Xia Qingqing arrived at the Anling Police Station early, organized all the relevant information on the 'Type 3 Drug' from "Black Ice", and then presented it to Yu Shan.

In the office.

Yu Shan held his thermos, took a sip of warm, boiled water, and scrutinized the data: "Officer Xia, you've done very well."

Early in the morning.

Xia Qingqing was in her police uniform, sharp and energetic, also brimming with vigor.

She smiled and said, "I just extracted some parts from Lin Chuan's novel, it wasn't a lot of work."

Yu Shan waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Officer Xia, finding the relevant novel is also a formidable task."

Xia Qingqing smiled warmly: "I just got lucky."

"Haha, let's go to the lab and see if this is the 'Type 3 Drug'!" Yu Shan laughed heartily.

About this piece of data.

Yu Shan did not view it with contempt, instead he held high expectations, he even somewhat believed this was the new-type drug they were looking for.

Because, this data came from Lin Chuan's novel.

Lin Chuan, a gold-lettered signboard!

The lab was not secluded, but there was some distance from the Anling Police Station, and the police station's cars shuttled through the early morning traffic, bathed in the dawn's light.

Half an hour later, Xia Qingqing and Yu Shan arrived at the lab.

From afar, the lab, with its silver-gray tone, looked quite stark.

The lobby of the lab was spacious and bright, with relevant photos, awards, and regulations hanging on the walls, and notice boards and promotional columns on either side.

At the entrance, stood two people.

One was in a police uniform, middle-aged, the captain of the narcotics team, He Song.

The other, wore a white lab coat, had on presbyopic spectacles, his face marked with many wrinkles, and white hair atop his head.

He was the chief person in charge of the lab, Yang Chao.

From the position in which these two individuals were standing, it was evident that Yang Chao was the main figure, with He Song as his subordinate.

Yang Chao had engaged in biochemical research and was known as a police technology expert, the director of the Anling City drug testing laboratory, a distinguished professor at Anling University, a doctoral supervisor, among other titles.

Yu Shan had first contacted Captain He Song of the narcotics division, but as soon as he saw Yang Chao standing at the door, his face immediately grew stern,

"Officer Xia, Elder Yang is waiting for us!"

Xia Qingqing glanced outside, the corner of her mouth twitching, and her movements hastened as she quickly gathered the documents and got out of the car.

Yu Shan took two strides at a time, a broad smile on his face, "Elder Yang, Captain He, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xia Qingqing followed behind and also greeted them.

Yang Chao smiled gently, and the wrinkles on his face immediately became more pronounced: "I heard you've got a piece of valuable information, so I rushed out here to take a look at this information first."

On the side,

Captain He Song of the narcotics division chuckled, "Elder Yang, Captain Yu's efficiency is truly high. It's only been two days, and he has already found the information. Last night, he patted his chest and assured me the information is authentic!"

Yu Shan did not expect He Song to have contacted someone of Yang Chao's stature, his smile turned awkward, "Whether the information is authentic or not, my word doesn't count; it's what Elder Yang says that's accurate!"

"My word doesn't count either,"

Elder Yang said cheerfully, "It has to be verified to be known, let's walk and talk."

Everyone promptly stepped inside and walked further in.

Inside the laboratory, passing through the spacious and bright hall,

the walls around were covered with various scientific charts and experimental reports, displaying the research achievements and academic contributions of the laboratory, and the air was filled with a cold and meticulous atmosphere.

Xia Qingqing looked at Elder Yang Chao, walking briskly ahead.

Carrying the documents, she inevitably became nervous.

Yang Chao was known for his meticulousness and stringency when it came to data and experiments, so Xia Qingqing started to worry. What if she said that the information came from an extract of a novel? How would he react?

At that moment,

Elder Yang Chao began to speak, "Captain Yu, your Cyber Security Detachment's efficiency is indeed high, managing to find the information in just two days, impressively efficient!"

"Haha, all thanks to Officer Xia's responsibility in this matter."

Yu Shan pointed a hand towards Xia Qingqing, presenting her as the primary contributor.

Elder Yang glanced at Xia Qingqing, saying with a smile, "Such a promising young lady. After hearing about the new-type drugs mentioned by Captain He, I became very interested, so I decided to come and conduct the experiment myself."

"Elder Yang personally involving in everything is truly admirable,"

Yu Shan commented sincerely, then gestured for Xia Qingqing to hand the documents to Elder Yang.

Xia Qingqing immediately understood and handed over the documents, "Elder Yang, this is the related information I've managed to find, please take a look."

Elder Yang took the documents and began to read while walking.

The details of 'Drug No. 3' caught his eye.

[Name: New-type Drug (Drug No. 3).]

[Raw materials: α-bromo-phenylacetone, Methylamine, ***, ***, ***.]

[Required equipment: Flask, Stirrer, Thermometer, Gas Mask, pH paper.]

[Operation steps: React 'α-bromo-phenylacetone' with Methylamine, Hydrochloric Acid to produce α-methylamino-phenylacetone hydrochloride,...]

[Effects: Following consumption, users exhibit acute poisoning symptoms with extreme mental excitement, physiological overexertion, frenzy... followed by drowsiness, mental exhaustion, depression and other central nervous system depressant symptoms, and so on.]

[...]

Elder Yang's eyes brightened, "Officer Xia, this information is very professional; from which institution did you obtain it?"

What she feared most had happened.

Xia Qingqing's mouth twitched, and she swallowed hard, "Elder Yang, this information was not obtained from a professional organization, but, rather..."

"Rather what?"

He Song pressed.

Xia Qingqing looked at He Song and then back to Elder Yang's eager expression, reluctantly admitting, "It was obtained from a novel."

With that statement, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Elder Yang stopped in his tracks and turned to Xia Qingqing, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Information obtained from a novel?"
