Chapter 93: Rush upstream and find the sewage outlet!

Director Yang was stunned on the spot and exclaimed in disbelief: "Lin Yuan? What is he doing there? Isn't he selling houses? What can he do for you?"

Hearing this series of questions, Team Chen replied with a wry smile: "He came to help people play the suona during their funerals to sell their houses. He also discovered this case."

"And he seems to understand it very well!"

As soon as these words came out, Director Yang was stunned and his head was buzzing.

Captain Chen felt helpless when he felt that there was no reply on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

He could probably guess what Director Yang was feeling now, which was really unbelievable.

But now is not the time to be in a daze. He hurriedly asked: "Director Yang, please send more manpower here quickly, and call for more medical staff. People in this village have been poisoned, and there is not enough manpower."

Director Yang suddenly came back to his senses, shock and panic intertwined in his eyes, and he realized that now was not the time to be surprised.

He stood up directly, took a deep breath, and replied in a deep tone: "I understand, thank you for your hard work, be sure to stabilize the scene, I will arrange it right away!"

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Director Yang looked out the window with a solemn expression, as if he was in a daze.

That's why we didn't immediately arrange for help.

It was because his intuition told him that the seriousness of this matter was beyond imagination, and it was far beyond what he could solve as a director.

The poisoning incident involved too many people and spread throughout Xihai City.

Once the public knows the details, can he suppress it?
Obviously it can't be done.

After thinking about it again and again, Director Yang took out his mobile phone and called Secretary Li.

Logically speaking, he should report the situation to his immediate superior.

But after all, this matter is not as simple as solving a case, but is related to the people's hearts. The police alone cannot solve the problem.

Soon, the call was answered.

Secretary Li asked in surprise: "Director Yang, why did you call me? What's the matter?"

"Something big happened, Secretary Li!"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li was shocked, his expression instantly became serious, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ten minutes later, the call was hung up, and Secretary Li immediately sprinted to Secretary He's office at a sprint speed of 100 meters.

As for Bureau Yang, he immediately mobilized the police and medical personnel in the bureau to quickly go to the village to investigate the case.

Bang Dong sound~~
The office door was pushed open forcefully.

Secretary He, who was working, turned to look at the door in surprise and frowned.

Before he could ask, he heard an exclamation: "Secretary, something big has happened!!"

Looking at the panting Secretary Li, Secretary He asked calmly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

huh~~
After taking a deep breath, Secretary Li said with a horrified expression: "Just now, Director Yang called me and they discovered that all the villagers in a mountain village were poisoned by mercury!"

After hearing this, Secretary He's expression changed slightly, and he asked seriously: "Mercury poisoning? Was someone poisoned? Are there any casualties?"

"No! There are no casualties yet. I don't know if it is man-made or not, but it has been found out that the fish and water in the large lake near them contain mercury."

"We held an event by that lake the year before last. Do you remember that you attended in person?"

Boom~~~
As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary He stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, he looked at the secretary and exclaimed: "How is it possible? Isn't that lake a key water source for our city to protect? Isn't it said that there are white sturgeons there? Don’t some local people make a living by fishing?”

Speaking of this, Secretary He suddenly paused, and then his face changed drastically, and his whole body froze.

He finally understood! ! !

Originally, he was still confused. It was just that people in a village were poisoned and no one died. Logically speaking, it was not a big deal.

Even though I was shocked to hear that the lake was polluted, I was not shocked.

But when he remembered that the fish in the lake was for sale, he couldn't sit still!

As Director Yang thought, this is no longer as simple as a village being poisoned or a large lake being polluted.

It was a major case that affected the whole city!

I shudder just thinking about it.

Although it seems that there are no casualties, if it had not been discovered early, the villagers would have continued to catch and sell fish.

What will be the consequences?

A few years from now, we will inevitably see a piece of bombshell news that a certain mountain village in Xihai City died of collective mercury poisoning.

People in Xihai City were poisoned on a large scale, and the whole city fell into panic.

Until then.!
I can’t imagine what he will say once the higher-ups come to hold him accountable? What to report?

When I participated in the event before, I specially helped promote it, making the aquatic products here popular in the city, and even many outsiders came here.

Well, now, he has become one of the culprits.

Therefore, it seems that this is just an ordinary villager in a small mountain village being poisoned.

At stake are many lives and his own future.

Thinking of this, beads of sweat appeared on Secretary He's forehead unconsciously.

Secretary Li stood aside, not even daring to take a breath, watching with concentration, waiting for orders at any time.

The next second, he saw Secretary He's gloomy face, and ordered in a serious tone: "Contact the major hospitals in Xihai City immediately and ask them to immediately set up an emergency department for mercury poisoning. Each of them will send a medical team to each community in the city. , commercial buildings, etc., provide free blood examinations to every citizen."

"Especially in communities close to mountain villages, extra manpower must be deployed to ensure that every citizen can be tested. Once poisoning is found, they will be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. The cost will be borne by the government." "In addition, contact the communications department and give Send a text message to every citizen in Xihai City, asking them to go to the nearest station to draw blood for testing, and then notify TV stations and radio stations to urgently publicize the situation throughout the city."

"Finally, contact the traffic police brigade and ask them to send more people to various streets to direct traffic, patrol the city, use loudspeakers to publicize, let people go for physical examinations, and be on call 24 hours a day to avoid large-scale panic. Then call Bureau Yang and let them know He sealed off the lake and prohibited anyone from fishing, and all the fish in the lake that were on the market were recovered and disposed of.”

"Oh, by the way, ask the driver to wait for me downstairs. I'll go to the scene right away."

After listening to the secretary's instructions, Secretary Li nodded quickly and agreed: "Okay!"

Just turn around and leave, and call immediately to inform you.

Lin Yuan still had no clue.

After asking some of the villagers' questions, Team Chen still couldn't figure out why the lake was polluted, so he had to wait for support on the spot.

At this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly came over and suggested: "Team Chen, I suggest you go a little further upstream and test the water quality to see if the mercury content in it is about the same."

"In such a large lake, it is impossible for the mercury element in every piece of water to be uniform. If we can find where the concentration is higher, we may be able to find some clues."

As soon as these words came out, Captain Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "What a great proposal, it has to be you, Lin Yuan, let's go, let's go now."

After that, he took Lin Yuan's arm and called the doctor who performed the test and several police officers to drive upriver in a police car.

It took about five minutes to drive, and we were at least a kilometer or two away from the mountain village.

After getting off the car, the group fetched some water at the lake and tested it with instruments.

But when the result appears!
Everyone was stunned and their faces were full of excitement!

The doctor in charge of the test excitedly exclaimed: "Captain Chen, the mercury element in the water quality here is obviously higher!"

After hearing this, everyone realized something was wrong.

This is upstream. Logically speaking, water flows downstream. There should be more mercury in the downstream. Why does it get higher as it goes up?

Team Chen raised his arms on the spot and shouted: "Let's go up and see if the pollution is more serious."

The car drove about two kilometers and slowly stopped.

This time, everyone looked forward to the doctor's test.

The result was as expected and everyone was overjoyed.

Because the mercury level is elevated again here.

Judging from the current three laboratory results, the higher the concentration, the further upstream you go. Doesn’t that mean that the source of the pollution is upstream?
Thinking of this, everyone was full of energy. All the way up, they would check every step of the way, as if the answer was right in front of them.

But when they drove about ten kilometers, they found that there was almost no human habitation here.

There are lush trees everywhere, with no end in sight.

Due to the sparse population, the weeds on the ground are also very thick.

If it weren't for the fact that the main road was a cement road, I would have thought this place was a deserted and undeveloped area.

Everyone sitting in the car gradually felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Nothing happened, but there was a feeling that a storm was coming.

at this time.

The photographer asked in surprise: "Brother, did you hear anything?"

Lin Yuan raised his ears in confusion and frowned: "What's the sound?"

Several other people in the car also listened curiously to the movement outside the window, but heard nothing.

But the photographer had a confused expression and said firmly: "No, there is a sound. And it's getting closer and closer. Listen carefully!"

The voice just fell.

Team Chen quickly exclaimed: "It's true. I heard it too. It was like the sound of a waterfall, very small."

Lin Yuan listened carefully again when he heard the words, and sure enough, he heard it too!
Several people looked at each other and immediately nodded in understanding, preparing to get out of the car for inspection.

After getting off the car, the sound of water flowing became more obvious. Not only them, but also the people in the car behind heard it.

Everyone held sticks in their hands and walked all the way towards the direction of the sound.

As they got closer, the sound of running water became louder and louder.

Until they reached the end of the grass, suddenly, the photographer exclaimed again, pointing forward and shouting: "Brother, look over there. The sound of water flow is coming from over there."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth: "Ugh~~ What does this smell like? It smells so bad!"

Everyone only felt the smell of rotten eggs, which instantly reached Tianling Gai.

The taste was simply amazing. They all quickly covered their mouths and slowly moved towards their destination.

But when they came to the outlet of the water, everyone was shocked when they saw the outlet!

I saw a huge pipe with a diameter of more than one meter on the shore of the lake, seeping out of the soil.

A large amount of disgusting and unpleasant-smelling black water was being continuously flushed out of the pipes, and it was spilled onto the surface of the lake, forming vast amounts of foam.

It looks like a black waterfall, and wherever it goes, the lake water is dyed a disgusting color.

Looking far away, the color on the lake becomes a gradient, becoming clearer as you go down.

Recalling the water quality downstream, who would have thought that the water upstream could be so dirty.

Can such water be said to be of good quality?

I'm afraid that even if someone flushes the toilet, they'll be disgusted by the smell.
