Chapter 164 That is definitely not a sewage pipeline
In the power distribution room, Xu Siqi looked east and west with his hands behind his back, while Nakamura stayed close to his left and right, answering some meaningless questions.
To outsiders, Xu Siqi seemed to be just doing a routine thing.
"Woof! Woof!"
There was a dog barking outside.
Xu Siqi listened carefully and asked: "Director Nakamura, do you have dogs in the factory? Why didn't I see them when you came in?"
"Oh, the dog is tied up in the backyard and should be let out at night. Otherwise, in such a large factory, there will inevitably be things that the night guard cannot take care of." Nakamura replied.
Xu Siqi didn't ask any more questions, and Nakamura answered reasonably.
After coming out of the power distribution room and standing at the door for a while, Zhang Huan came back with others.
Sakai Kizo followed later.
"Mr. Sakai, that's it for today. We will study this case again after we go back." Xu Siqi said in Japanese.
Sakai Kizo was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Inspector Xu, does an ordinary accident need to be investigated endlessly?"
"Mr. Sakai, you have to understand one thing. The reason why we came here is because we have new doubts. According to Chen Liu, Chen Feng has a calm personality and is not the kind of irritable person. Therefore, what you gave
It’s hard for her to accept the explanation.”
"That's Chen Liu's one-sided statement. How could his own child have shortcomings?"
"No matter what, human life is at stake, and the patrol room will continue to investigate. I hope we can get the cooperation of the cotton mill next time we come..."
After a slight pause, Xu Siqi sighed softly and said: "Mr. Sakai, I really don't understand why you have to worry so much about compensation when you have such a big factory? Aren't you doing this to be penny wise and pound foolish?
?”
Sakai Kizou said: "The standard of compensation is the amount recognized by the concession union. If we increase the compensation, similar situations will happen again in the future..."
Xu Siqi said calmly: "Standards are dead, people are alive. As long as you make a few changes, this matter can be easily solved. That's it for now, Mr. Sakai, goodbye."
Watching Xu Siqi and his entourage out of the gate, Sakai Kizang thought for a while and said, "Nakamura-kun, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"I agree with Xu Siqi's suggestion. Instead of wasting time on compensation, it is better to agree to Chen Liu's request and give her a little more money to let this matter pass as soon as possible." Nakamura replied.
"Well……"
After pondering for a moment, Sakai Kizo asked again: "Where did they go just now?"
"After staying in the power distribution room for more than ten minutes, Xu Siqi went to the bathroom, and then went to the backyard..."
"What are you doing in the backyard?"
"Just looking around. It can be seen that the patrol room also wants to close the case as soon as possible. Their so-called investigation seems to be very perfunctory."
"That's good."
"Are the workers in the bleaching and dyeing workshop not talking nonsense?"
"Humph, I went there personally to sit in the door, just to make them shut up. Besides, it's unfounded, so what do they say, I just don't want to cause trouble."
"Then, about Chen Feng..."
"I'll do as you say. I'll just treat it as charity. The compensation will be increased to 1,000 yuan. You can handle this matter yourself. Make sure to appease Mrs. Chen Liu."
"yes!"
…
After coming out of Yihe Cotton Factory, Xu Siqi asked Zhang Huan to take the people back, and he and Zheng Zheng rushed to Muertang Mission School.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived near the side entrance of Mu'er Hall, and the sound of student Lang Lang's reading could be heard inside the school.
Xu Siqi stopped the car and turned off the engine, sat in the car and listened intently for a while, then said: "Seriously, is it like when we were studying?"
He nodded solemnly: "At that time, I was most afraid of exams. I failed nine times out of ten. I almost couldn't pass the graduation exam. Fortunately, I copied your paper."
"In the end, Wang Shen reported it." Xu Siqi said with a smile.
Mentioning the interesting things from that year, Zheng Zheng couldn't help laughing and said: "What's the benefit of him reporting me? After school the next day, he asked me to block the alley and beat him half to death. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have slapped him on the head."
.”
"Wang Shen even mentioned this matter to me when I returned to Tianjin this time."
"Didn't you see that he still holds a grudge?"
"Wang Shen just told it as a joke..."
The two of them talked and walked along the outer wall of Muertang School to the bank of the Nameless River.
Xu Siqi looked at it for a while. Apart from the high courtyard walls, even the two-story office building of Yihe Cotton Factory could only see a roof spire.
Normally, an office building is at least five meters high, which should be a little higher than the courtyard wall.
In fact, this is related to the topography of Yihe Cotton Mill.
The terrain of Yihe Cotton Mill is high in the west and low in the east. The office building is built on the relatively low-lying west side and is far away from the east wall, so only the top of the roof can be seen.
"Seriously, you said last time that when Yihe Cotton Mill was built, a lot of earth was dug from the river, right?"
"right."
"Do you know where these earthworks are used?"
"Where did you use it?"
Xu Siqi said: "They raised the ground. When we entered, there was a steep slope at the entrance of the cotton mill. I estimate that the entire yard was raised by at least one foot thick."
He said solemnly: "Let me tell you, when I was at Yihe Cotton Factory, I felt something was not right..."
It rains a lot in Shanghai, so it is normal to raise the yard. Enterprises such as cotton mills, equipment and products are particularly afraid of moisture.
Xu Siqi looked around: "Where is that boat?"
"What?" he asked solemnly.
"Go to the other side and have a look."
"There's nothing on the other side..."
"Isn't there a sewage pipe?"
"..."
Zheng Zheng also knew in his heart that Xu Siqi must have discovered something when he detached Zhang Huan and went around to the Wuming River.
There was a bamboo pole with an iron hook hidden by the river. The small fishing boat was hidden in the reeds. The bamboo pole was used to drag the fishing boat over. The two of them got on the boat and rowed towards the opposite side.
The river was only more than four meters wide, and the fishing boat quickly reached the other bank.
Leading the way solemnly, he quickly came to the base of the wall and pushed aside the weeds that were half a person tall, revealing the cement pipe at the bottom.
Xu Siqi knelt down and looked carefully for a while, then stood up and made a gesture to Zheng Zheng, and the two of them returned the same way in silence.
Back in the car, Xu Siqi thought for a while and said, "I'm sure that's not a sewage pipe."
"What's the basis?" he asked solemnly.
"When I was at Yihe Cotton Factory, I went to the bathroom and poured a little potassium permanganate into the toilet. If the cement pipe was a sewage pipe, it would at least be stained with some color. However, I just looked at it and found that not only was there no
color, and the pipes are dry.”
"potassium permanganate?"
"After special preparation, potassium permanganate is easily soluble in water and has a very short oxidation time. After oxidation, it will turn into black purple."
"Who did you learn these from?" he asked solemnly.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "It just so happens that my instructor is called Doctor of Chemistry."
