The news of You San'er's surrender to the authorities broke online barely half an hour later.
The reporter not only knew that You San'er had surrendered but also captured his shouted words at the moment of surrender.
It was as if the reporter had anticipated these events, having set up cameras in advance to film. You San'er, too, seemed aware of being filmed, so he shouted his words with extra volume, as if afraid the video wouldn't capture them.
Thus, a video titled "Mutual Affection" appeared before the public.
The public, upon seeing it, exclaimed, "Good heavens, isn't this conclusive evidence?"
Min Ziqiong, as everyone had suspected, was not a good person.
The suspect, You San'er, had personally confessed; could there be any falsehood to this?
What were the Jianghai police doing? Dawdling, persistently refusing to announce the results.
Public opinion is often the most radical and the most blind.
Even though many people explained that the investigation process required time and that results couldn't be obtained and announced on the same day, the vast majority disregarded this, forwarding and commenting frantically, demanding that the Jianghai police immediately punish Min Ziqiong.
They called for justice for the testing captain.
The task force instantly felt immense pressure.
After deliberation, the task force decided to expedite the process, using You San'er's confession as evidence and directly filing a lawsuit against Min Ziqiong!
They also announced to the public that Min Ziqiong's criminal facts had been largely ascertained and were merely awaiting court judgment.
However, unexpectedly, an veteran officer within the task force, with a frown, strongly disagreed with this approach.
The reason was simple: the veteran officer believed there was a logical bug in the case.
Min Ziqiong had not made any phone calls or gone out in the past few days, lacking opportunities to contact You San'er.
Furthermore, Min Ziqiong had had no prior interaction with You San'er in over twenty years. The bank card containing the employment fee provided by You San'er could not prove that Min Ziqiong had transferred the funds or had any connection to it.
These bugs, if not resolved, meant the case could not be hastily concluded.
The task force leader was furious but helpless.
Because what the veteran officer said was indeed factual; without resolving these bugs, even if the case were submitted to the court, Min Ziqiong could not be convicted.
It would also leave a stain on the task force.
Consequently, the case was shelved again.
Correspondingly, the pressure faced by the task force instantly became even greater.
The overwhelming tide of condemnation online was like an invisible tsunami, making every member of the task force tremble with fear.
At this time, very few people were paying attention to the fact that after tonight, the 72-hour deadline would pass, and the final testing report would be released.
Meanwhile, in the testing laboratory, the testing captain, who had vehemently requested to be discharged, was working like a workaholic.
He muttered to himself, "I cannot let down the expectations of that righteous person!"
"I cannot let down the expectations of the entire nation!"
"I must dedicate two hundred percent of my seriousness and meticulousness, ensuring not the slightest flaw, and use the most precise and truthful data to expose the true face of the person named Min, leaving her with no room for denial and forcing her to submit to confession!"
Rustle...
As the night deepened.
Apart from the hum of the machines in the testing lab, the only sounds were those of the testing captain diligently writing.
The testing captain, however, was not entirely confident in the machines and decided to perform a manual verification calculation to double-check.
Time crept by, and the night gradually faded.
When the eastern sky finally showed a hint of dawn, the testing captain's manual calculation was nearing its end.
At this moment, all the testing data for the Mirage sample was finally output by the machines.
The on-duty testing personnel instinctively picked up the data and glanced at it.
The next second, the testing personnel leaped from their chairs in disbelief!
Their lingering sleepiness vanished instantly!
"How is this possible! How is this possible!"
The cries of the testing personnel startled the others who were resting their heads on their desks.
The other testing personnel looked up blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
The first testing personnel did not answer, but handed the final testing report to everyone.
The next moment, upon seeing the final test results, everyone was as if struck by lightning, frozen on the spot!
"How could this be? All the previous data indicated this was a counterfeit product!"
"Exactly. Many of this product's components are unknown, making it impossible to pass the tests. Even more serious is the near absence of any mainstream life factors; it was almost like a bottle of bathwater. How could the final test result be like this?"
"Could the machines be malfunctioning? Or did someone tamper with them?"
"The public outcry outside is so severe, and yet someone still wants to protect the person named Min? This is outrageously bold!"
The testing personnel murmured amongst themselves.
None of them could believe that the final report, bearing the words "Qualified," was genuine!
"Has the captain seen it?" someone suddenly asked.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to show the captain!" the person holding the report exclaimed, as if suddenly remembering, and hurried towards the captain's office.
Meanwhile, the captain was in the midst of his final calculation.
"Captain, something's wrong! Our machines have been tampered with! The final test result is actually—Qualified!"
"Captain, they clearly have no regard for the law and are pushing us too far. Not only did they stab you in the back, but they dare to openly falsify our test results!"
"Yes, let's expose this directly and blow it up! The iron fist of justice will surely bring them to justice!"
The captain, however, seemed not to have heard his team's words. His face was solemn, and his eyes gleamed with a serious and incredulous light.
Only the rustling sound of writing echoed through the office.
For a full ten minutes, the captain suddenly slammed his pen down on the desk and rose abruptly!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"
"Despite all the abnormal data, the final combined result is—"
"Qualified!"
"It's like a house built with warped lumber; if you examine any single piece of wood, you'd deem it unusable. Yet, when these pieces are put together, they form a sturdy and durable house!"
"If I hadn't personally calculated it, I would never have believed this to be true!"
"By the way, what were you saying just now?"
The captain spoke in an excited and rambling tone.
At this moment, his team members were no longer able to speak.
They were already stunned!
They had initially assumed the machines had been tampered with and were filled with righteous indignation.
Unexpectedly, the captain's final manual calculation yielded the same result as the machines!
This situation could only mean one thing: the technology and formula used in the Mirage product surpassed their understanding!
It even surpassed the realm of contemporary life science technology!
What is meant by "technology and ingenuity"?
This is true technology and ingenuity!
They had assumed such a product could only originate from abroad, never expecting it to be developed in China!
Countless experts had fantasized about China achieving a breakthrough in this area, as life sciences would be one of the most crucial technologies of the future.
But they had only dared to fantasize and had not spoken of it.
However, now, they could not only speak of it but also personally touch, feel, and experience it!
