The Genius Female Forensic Pathologist, The Psychological Anatomist-Chapter 214
Through their investigation, Fang Rui and his team discovered that most of the parents they contacted were from single-parent families or impoverished households. Their financial situations were poor, and their children's academic performance was subpar, so when they heard about this project, they immediately agreed.
Fang Rui brought Ye Yuanqing, the recruiter from the drug trial platform, into the interrogation room.
Ye Yuanqing had neat short hair. Although she was visibly nervous after being suddenly brought to the police station, she spoke in a composed and logical manner.
"Officer, our drug trial project is completely legal. This new drug has already passed animal testing and has been filed with the drug regulatory authorities. The entire process is compliant and lawful."
"Do you have the relevant documents?"
"Yes. I'll have my colleague send them over shortly."
"Who is the client for this drug?"
"The company we signed the contract with is Colenda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd."
This was Jiang Yinian's pharmaceutical company.
Fang Rui asked, "Can you provide some samples of the drug?"
"Of course."
"How do you find test subjects?"
"The client has already provided us with a list. We just need to contact them."
Ye Yuanqing provided the animal testing report, inspection report, and clinical trial application report for the drug. It was indeed filed with the drug regulatory authorities.
Fang Rui also asked her to provide the signed contracts. Seeing Li Yushan's name on the list, Fang Rui was somewhat surprised.
The police tested the drug, and its components were found to be unproblematic.
Lin Sen analyzed, "It's also possible that this drug is just a front. During the testing process, they might give the children the actual target drug."
Fang Rui realized how cunning Jiangmiao Group was. The contracts had many hidden clauses, and once the parents signed them, even if issues arose later, the company wouldn't be held legally responsible.
About a dozen parents had already signed contracts with the drug trial platform. The police who went to investigate tried to persuade them, but most were lured by the substantial trial fees and refused to terminate the contracts. A couple wanted to back out but were scared off by the hefty breach fees.
Although they had discovered that Jiang Yinian had commissioned a third-party platform to conduct drug trials on the students, the trial project was compliant and the drug itself was unproblematic. This lead had reached a dead end.
Jiang Yinian didn't own many properties, but Lin Qianyan had numerous properties under his name. The police investigated these properties through various means but found no trace of Jiang Yinian's laboratory.
Fang Rui analyzed, "Jiang Yinian's laboratory must be located in a sparsely populated, independent space. Villa areas and standalone low-rise buildings in the suburbs fit the criteria. But we can't possibly search every villa and low-rise building. It would be inefficient and difficult to investigate."
Lin Sen added, "The founder of Jiangmiao Group is Jiang Yinian's cousin. Could there be villas under his name that haven't been transferred? Maybe the laboratory was set up by his cousin."
"That makes sense. I'll have someone check if his cousin owns any properties."
Fang Rui thought for a moment and asked, "Do drug laboratories consume a lot of electricity and water?"
"Laboratories usually have many instruments, so they consume a significant amount of electricity."
Fang Rui went to the police chief and asked for his help in collaborating with the power bureau. They wanted the electricity usage data for Jiangzhou City over the past two years to identify any buildings with abnormal power consumption.
After investigating, they found that Jiang Yinian's cousin didn't own any properties.
The power bureau staff sent them several large data files. Just receiving the files took a considerable amount of time.
Wang, watching the download progress bar, couldn't help but say to Li, "With so much data, it'll take forever to find anything!"
Li rolled his eyes, "Are you doubting my skills?" He turned to Fang Rui and asked, "Boss, should we skip industrial electricity for now and focus on residential usage?"
"Agreed."
Li wrote a program to calculate the average electricity consumption per community or village, then filtered out users with abnormally high usage, generating a list.
The filtered results were extensive.
"Let's remove those in densely populated urban areas."
The list shrank significantly.
"Let's start with the villa areas."
While browsing the list, Fang Rui noticed Ye Zeming's villa area. It suddenly occurred to him that Ye Zeming's villa area had strong privacy measures. Apart from surveillance cameras at the entrance, there were no public cameras inside.
"Shen Min? Is that my aunt?" Mu Mian noticed that the owner of one villa on the list was Shen Min.
This villa had high and stable electricity consumption.
Fang Rui immediately took a team to the villa area.
"I want to come too!" Mu Mian said.
Fang Rui placed a hand on Mu Mian's shoulder and spoke earnestly, "Mu Mian, stay here. I'm worried this operation might be dangerous."
Mu Mian replied, "Aren't you afraid I might get kidnapped? I think I'm safer with you. You'll protect me, won't you?"
After some thought, Fang Rui decided to bring Mu Mian along.

The villa area had been developed recently. The design was beautiful, but the occupancy rate was low. The developers had expected the area to become part of the new urban district, so they hastily built high-end villas. However, rumors about the urban development turned out to be false, and the city's expansion bypassed the area, leaving the villas unsold even after significant price reductions.
Fang Rui and his team drove to Shen Min's villa.
Several smart cameras were installed at the entrance. As soon as they approached, the cameras locked onto them and stopped moving.
Fang Rui rang the doorbell, but there was no response.
He rang it again.
This time, footsteps were heard, and the door opened.
A young man with messy hair, wearing glasses and a white lab coat, appeared. He looked nervous.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Do you know Jiang Yinian?"
"What do you want?"
Fang Rui said, "We've received a report about illegal electrical modifications. We need to inspect the premises."
"That's nonsense. Someone must have made a false report," the young man blocked the doorway. "This is private property. If you barge in, we'll sue you for trespassing!"
Wang had a quick idea and shouted, "Does anyone smell something burning? It smells like something's on fire. Quick, everyone, let's go in and put it out!"
"On fire? Impossible!"
Wang pushed past him, "Hurry, everyone, let's go in! The burning smell is really strong!"
Everyone entered the villa.
Shen Xiyin had just seen off a visitor and was about to drink some water when her phone rang.
"Xiyin, it's me!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Xiyin's expression turned to one of disgust. "What do you want?"
"Xiyin, I'm upset. Mu Mian is being very disobedient. She actually brought the police to arrest me."
Shen Xiyin's face paled. "What have you done to Mu Mian?"
"Her safety depends on your decision. There's a car waiting for you downstairs. If you want Mu Mian to be safe, get in the car."
"Jiang Yinian, let me hear Mu Mian's voice. I need to know she's safe."
"Xiyin, if you don't believe me, you can call Mu Mian and Fang Rui to confirm. But don't call the police or speak to anyone else, or I can't guarantee Mu Mian's safety. You're already under my surveillance."
"Jiang Yinian, let me hear Mu Mian's voice."
Beep. Jiang Yinian hung up.
Shen Xiyin immediately called Mu Mian.
"Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached."
She then called Fang Rui.
"Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached."
Shen Xiyin was instantly overwhelmed with fear. Jiang Yinian was a madman. Although he had promised her he wouldn't hurt Mu Mian, the words of a madman couldn't be trusted. Now even Fang Rui seemed to be in trouble.
Jiang Yinian was likely planning to escape with her and Mu Mian, and the best escape route would be by water. Jiangzhou City's foreign trade was prosperous, with many cargo ships heading abroad. Those ships would be the best means for an illegal escape.
Shen Xiyin hurriedly left her office, accidentally knocking over a painting hanging on the wall.
"Xiyin, what's wrong? Why are you in such a rush?"
Shen Xiyin didn't answer. She couldn't answer. She couldn't let anything happen to Mu Mian.
