Qiao Liang returned to the dormitory and was waiting for Cai Minghai's call. It was about 10 o'clock when Cai Minghai called, and Qiao Liang couldn't wait to answer it.
"County Magistrate Qiao, the body was cremated. When I rushed back to the funeral home, it was too late to stop it. Now I can only change the direction of the investigation." Cai Minghai said on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Liang sighed after hearing this. The investigation of the case would not go smoothly. As soon as Cai Minghai re-opened the case for investigation, something unexpected happened, which further showed that Huang Hongmei's death was weird.
"Lao Cai, what investigation ideas do you have now?" Qiao Liang asked.
"I have just sent people to investigate the scene again. I suspect that there may be inaccuracies in the original case file, so now I want to investigate everything again," Cai Minghai said.
"Well, that's fine, but you have to be more vigilant, especially those coming from within." Qiao Liang reminded.
"Don't worry, County Magistrate Qiao. Every time you learn something, you gain wisdom. If something like this happens tonight, I won't fall down twice in the same place." Cai Minghai said solemnly.
Hearing Cai Minghai's words, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel relieved. After what happened tonight, he believed that Cai Minghai would have a preliminary understanding of the situation in the Songbei County Bureau, and he would not need to remind him of the following events.
A few days passed without realizing it. The county was calm and nothing special happened these days.
At noon, Miao Peilong was hosting a banquet for several foreign businessmen in the Chinese restaurant of the Songbei Hotel. The foreign businessmen were introduced by Miao Peilong's businessman friends and were from Suzuta Co., Ltd. in the island country. Miao Peilong specially asked his secretary to check. This company is a well-known multinational company with a certain reputation in the world. The company has strong capital strength. After understanding this information, Miao Peilong could not be more enthusiastic about these foreign businessmen. The banquet at noon today is prepared to the highest standards. Yes, it has long exceeded the relevant reception standards.
Sanbei Town, Songbei County.
An inconspicuous black Volkswagen Passat was driving on the rural road and soon approached the area of Jinfa Plastic Factory.
But before the car even drove in, someone stopped it. After a closer look, there were two men guarding the only intersection leading to the Jinfa Plastic Factory.
"Brother, what are you doing? We need to drive over." The driver's window was lowered and the driver stuck his head out and asked.
"What do you do? I want to go over there. Do you have a pass certificate approved by our factory?" asked the man who stopped the car.
"Passage note?" The driver was stunned when he heard this. This is a county road. If you want to pass, you need to get approval from the factory?
The driver didn't know what to do, so he could only look back at the two men in the back seat, and saw Zheng Guohong, the top official in Jiangdong Province, and An Zhe, deputy secretary-general and chief of staff, sitting in the back seat.
As for the passenger seat in front, there was Zheng Guohong's secretary, Yan Hua.
At this moment, An Zhe glanced at Yan Hua. Yan Hua understood, got out of the car, and said to the man blocking the car, "What do you do, and what authority do you have to block the car here?"
"We are from a plastics factory. Our plastics factory is the only company that goes in here. If cars from outside want to pass through, they must have a pass approved by our factory, otherwise they will not be able to pass." The man said carelessly.
Yan Hua frowned when he heard this and said coldly, "Who gave your plastic factory such power? This is a public road. Do you think it is your factory's own road?"
"Haha, I don't know if you have such great power. Anyway, our plastic factory has the final say here. If you can't pass, you can't pass, unless you have a pass slip from our plastic factory." The man said nonchalantly, and took out his hand while talking.
A cigarette was lit.
At this time, a farmer holding a hoe passed by. When he heard the man's words, the farmer couldn't help but stop and said sarcastically, "Lao Liu, your plastic factory is really awesome. Why don't you say that this area is covered with plastic for ten miles?"
Factory, your plastic factory has more power than the Zhen Zhengfu."
"Go, go, do your job, Wang Laizi, it's none of your business, why are you trying to join in the fun." The man who blocked the car cursed, and both parties obviously knew each other.
The farmer who was called Wang Laizi snorted coldly, picked up the hoe and walked back. He had just returned from the fields and was about to go home. The reason why he was called Wang Laizi was because his surname was Wang and he had a weak foot.
, walking a little lamely.
When passing the car, Wang Laizi paused and suddenly whispered to Yan Hua, "Brothers, are you reporters? If you are reporters, I have a way to take you around. You can drive the car back first."
After Wang Laizi finished speaking, he took the hoe and left.
Yan Hua was stunned when he heard what the other party said. He returned to the car and said to Zheng Guohong and An Zhe in the car, "Secretary Zheng, Secretary-General An, the farmer just mistook us for reporters and said he had a way to take us around. Let us
Drive the car back first."
Hearing this, An Zhe was thoughtful, turned to look at Zheng Guohong, and asked, "Secretary Zheng, look..."
"Then go back." Zheng Guohong nodded in agreement. If he didn't want to rush over, this was the only way. He came down today for a private visit incognito, so Zheng Guohong didn't want to alarm the local cadres for the time being.
The car backed up again, drove to the corner, and stopped after the person blocking the car in front could no longer be seen.
From behind, the farmer named Wang Laizi limped up quickly, walked to the car and asked breathlessly, "Are you reporters?"
An Zhe and Zheng Guohong looked at each other, and then An Zhe said, "We are not only reporters, but also veteran reporters."
"Well, you two look quite old. You should be old reporters. That's great. It's been a long time since a reporter came. We are looking forward to the stars and the moon." Wang Laizi looked excited, "You park your car here, I will
I'll take you through the back mountain path."
"Brother, you seem to really want reporters to come?" An Zhe asked.
"No, this damn plastic factory discharges sewage into the river and waste gas into the sky every day. The people living around us are suffering terribly. I have more than three acres of land by the river next to the plastic factory. Now it's all
The land has become poisonous and there is no harvest. You are saying that a disabled person like me, who relies on growing crops for a living, has lost more than three acres of land, and now even food and clothing is almost a problem." Wang Laizi shook his head and sighed, "Now that's it.
There are only two acres of land far away from the plastic factory that still have some harvest, and I make a living from that land. In fact, this is not the worst for me. Someone in the village has a terminal illness. I heard that it is caused by the air and water pollution from the plastic factory.
, It’s really a miserable life, you can’t cure your disease even if you lose your family and everything.”
Hearing what Wang Laizi said, Zheng Guohong looked a little unhappy. An Zhe on the side quickly said, "Brother, please take us over and have a look."
"Okay, I'll take you there." Wang Laizi nodded and muttered, "You have to expose the pollution problem of this Jinfa plastic factory, otherwise the people around us will suffer."
"Didn't you report it to the relevant departments?" An Zhe asked.
"Report it, how could it not be reported, but it's useless. Take your reporters as an example. Reporters have come to report before, but it hasn't been settled." Wang Laizi sighed, "Recently there are new people in the county. We summoned a county magistrate, and it was said that he wanted to take action. He brought many people here and wanted to close down the plastic factory. We were very happy at that time. We thought that the plastic factory was really going to be closed down. Who knew that it had only been a few days? , the plastics factory has started operations again, and now people are more vigilant and do not allow outside vehicles and people to enter the plastics factory area."
Wang Laizi's words made Anzhe's heart skip a beat. Before he could ask anything, Zheng Guohong had already spoken, "Since the new county magistrate wants to take action, why is the plastic factory starting work again?"
"Who knows? I heard that the boss of this plastic factory knows many big leaders in the county. Maybe the new county magistrate has also been bribed." Wang Laizi replied.
Hearing what Wang Laizi said, Anzhe's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At this time, Wang Laizi said to himself, "But we ordinary people don't understand. A few days ago, the government said that we should go forward to sue the plastic factory and go through legal procedures. The government will come forward to help us safeguard our rights. Asking the plastics factory to compensate us for the losses we have suffered has made us people confused as to what they mean."
"If that's the case, that's a good thing." An Zhe said.
"I don't know if it's a good thing or not. Anyway, no one dares to believe it since we haven't seen the compensation money." Wang Laizi said.
An Zhe didn't say anything after hearing this. He turned his head and glanced at Zheng Guohong. Seeing that Zheng Guohong was silent and his face was serious, An Zhe couldn't help but look stern.
Soon, several people followed the path around to the small river behind the plastic factory. Before they got closer, a stench was felt.
"Did you see that such a thick pipe discharges so much sewage into the river every day that the river water in this area turns into black and smelly water?" Wang Laizi pointed to a thick pipe extending from the plastic factory in front of him. of pipes.
As soon as Wang Laizi finished speaking, Zheng Guohong sneezed. Seeing this, the secretary Yan Hua quickly took out a mask. He followed Zheng Guohong from the ministry and knew that Zheng Guohong had rhinitis. He said, "Secretary Zheng, please put it on." Wear a mask."
"No need." Zheng Guohong waved his hand and said, "The air here is very bad."
"Look at the plastic factory. There are several big chimneys emitting exhaust. How can the air be good?" Yan Hua looked at the chimneys in the plastic factory that were emitting thick smoke.
Zheng Guohong nodded slightly, with a gloomy expression on his face, and said to An Zhe, "Secretary-General An, have you seen this? This is the factory that was named after the inspection team inspected it. This is how the local rectification was done... This is simply audacious, even if They are too lazy to do any superficial work and do things so unscrupulously and perfunctorily. Who gave them the courage?"
An Zhe frowned.
Zheng Guohong's voice gradually became stern: "Secretary-General An, please call the main leaders of Jiangzhou City immediately. I will wait here. I will hold an on-site office meeting here today."
"Okay." An Zhe nodded, took out his cell phone and walked aside, and directly dialed Luo Fei's number...
In the city, Luo Fei received a call from An Zhe and was immediately confused when he learned that Secretary Zheng Guohong had come to Jiangzhou and was now in Sanbei Town, Songbei County.
