Chapter 144: Secret Visit to the Chemical Plant

Time flies and half a month has passed.

On this day, Zhou Tian was sitting in his office processing documents, most of which were case review plans transferred from the court.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Zhou Tian said without even raising his head.

"Senior!"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Tian looked up at the person who came. It was Liu Wuming, who was sent by him to handle the chemical plant case.

"Xiao Liu, you're back. Tell me about your investigation!"

"Chief, according to my investigation, the legal person of the chemical plant is Chang Laichun. Five years ago, he was a manager of a chemical plant in TY City."

"But three years ago, he resigned from the chemical factory and returned to DT to open a chemical factory. Because the environmental protection facilities were not perfect, the chemical factory has been causing serious pollution to the suburbs. As a result of this pollution, many people living near the chemical factory have contracted a strange disease and a tumor has grown on their necks!"

Liu Wuming said with a trace of shame on his face: "In fact, many people complained to us about this matter, but we usually don't overstep our authority to handle such trivial matters, so we didn't ask about it."

"Plus, there must be someone behind Chang Laichun at the chemical plant, because this matter has not been dealt with!"

"absurd!"

After hearing what Liu Wuming said, Zhou Tian couldn't help but slam the table, with a look of anger on his face. At first, he thought that the pollution from the chemical plant should be on the ground, but now it seems that this is a disregard for human life.

"Xiao Liu, come with me. I want to see what kind of strange disease these people have!"

As he said that, Zhou Tian put on his uniform, and went downstairs one after another with Liu Wuming, and drove towards the suburbs.

When Zhou Tian arrived at the chemical plant in the suburbs, he frowned before he even got out of the car. Although he was still some distance away from the chemical plant, an unpleasant smell had already entered his nose.

Soon, the two men parked the car at a wasteland. After getting out of the car, Zhou Tian saw the land around him constantly turning into wasteland. He walked forward, squatted down, and pinched a handful of slightly white yellow soil.

When he put it to his nose and smelled it, a smell like sulfur came to his nose, making Zhou Tian sneeze.

"Section Chief?"

Liu Wuming, who was behind him, saw Zhou Tian's actions and stepped forward to stop him.

"Okay, it's okay!"

Zhou Tian waved his hand to stop Liu Wuming from moving forward. Instead, he stood up and looked at the land that was obviously different from the surrounding land. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go check on the people around us!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian drove with a gloomy face to a nearby residential area, parked the car outside the community, got out of the car and started walking around the community.

Everywhere he looked, the people passing by didn't seem to be suspicious of them. As he walked, he didn't find anything different about the people here.

But just when he was full of doubts, a young man with a tumor on his neck walked in from outside the community.

Zhou Tian's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and asked, "Hello, little brother. I'm a self-media reporter. I heard that this community was affected by the pollution from the chemical plant, and many people have tumors on their necks. I wonder if I can interview you?"

When the young man heard Zhou Tian's words, he immediately looked at him with suspicion. "You said you are a self-media reporter?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Zhou Tian was stunned by the young man's questions. He didn't know why the young man looked at him like that. Now that short videos are so popular, self-media should not be so curious!

"Which media outlet are you from? What's your public account number? Let me follow you!"

As the young man spoke, he took out his cell phone and looked at Zhou Tian with a mocking expression.

"No, I just wanted to ask you a question. Why do you have to know what my profession is?"

Zhou Tian was immediately shocked by the young man's words. He never expected that he would be exposed the first time he pretended to be a self-media reporter.

"Haha, you guys are all about who has money and who has a father. I've seen reporters from self-media many times!"

The young man said this with a look of disdain on his face.

"They said they would take charge of us, but in the end, every time after the interview, there was no follow-up. If it was a threat, it would be fine, but the accounts that followed were all promoting the chemical plant. Isn't this just taking dirty money?"

Listening to the young man's words, Zhou Tian couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. Why did he have to target the self-media reporter when there were so many other people to blame? But it was too late to say anything now.

He could only smile and say, "Little brother, it is indeed my fault. I am an online writer, but because of the subject matter, I wanted to find some material. Since I learned about the suburban chemical plant, I wanted to use the pollution from the chemical plant as inspiration to create a doomsday theme, so I came here!"

Seeing the deep suspicion in the young man's eyes, he directly told him the names of the three novels he had written and also told him the website of the novels.

The young man glanced at him, then lowered his head and began to search on his mobile phone. Sure enough, when he saw the three novels of the young man opposite him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Are you really going to write about the chemical plant?"

Zhou Tian nodded sincerely and said, "Of course, after all, this is the reason why I came here, how could I let it go. Little brother, how about you tell me about it?"

The young man thought for a while, then looked around and whispered: "If you want to listen, then go to my house. It's not safe here!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian nodded and agreed.

Then the two of them walked into the community one after the other.

They arrived at the gate of a building with 3 units. The young man opened the door and the two went upstairs to a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment of about square meters.

"Sit down! You're the first online writer to come to my house in the past few years!"

After the young man invited Zhou Tian to sit down, he turned around and poured him a cup of tea before sitting down on his right.

"To be honest, I've been scared of these online self-media reporters in the past few years!"

After saying that, he looked a little bleak, and looked at Zhou Tian: "I don't know whether it is good or bad for you to come in, but since you want to know, then I will tell you!"

"It's a good thing to build a chemical plant in the suburbs. After all, it can revitalize the suburban economy. Many people in the surrounding area even work in the chemical plant!"

"If everything had continued like this, there would have been nothing to worry about! But who would have thought that in the first year, the waste dumped by the chemical plant would affect the surrounding environment and soil!"

"Not only has the soil become unsuitable for growing crops, but it also seems to be cursed. No tree can survive on this wasteland, and this is only the first year!"
