Chapter 130 An unsent letter!

Arson?

Was the fire in the paper mill set by Chen Guangjun?
The air seemed to be stagnant.

The couple just stood there in a daze.

Stealing is not a serious crime. You can just do it and maybe you will be released in a few days.

But arson is a serious crime.

The fire at the paper mill last night caused considerable losses to the village. If it is confirmed that Chen Guangjun was responsible, then it will not be a question of forgiveness or not. He will definitely be jailed for life.

"You are talking nonsense."

It took Chen Guoliang a long time to come back to his senses, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Chen Guoqiang rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not in the mood to argue with you. If you don't believe me, go ask your son. I'm telling you, Chen Guoliang, this is a big deal. If you keep making trouble, not only will Xiaoyang beat you up, but every household in the village will line up to beat you up."

A grunt.

Chen Guoliang swallowed hard, his face turned pale, and he dared not argue with Chen Guoqiang anymore.

He quickly ran away with his wife in shame.

"My son is a bastard, and I am a bastard too. I am a piece of shit."

Chen Guoqiang spat and cursed angrily.

"Are you okay, Xiaoyang?"

He turned to look at Chen Yang, and a warm smile appeared on his face again.

"What can I do?"

Chen Yang shrugged and curled his lips speechlessly, "This is the first time I've encountered such a scoundrel. Fortunately, you guys came in time, otherwise I'm afraid I would have beaten them to a pulp."

"You have a very hot temper."

Chen Guoqiang laughed, "But, we are from the same village, we will meet each other sooner or later, and he is your elder, so you should pay attention to the impact, fighting will not solve the problem."

To be honest, Chen Yang's temper is quite to his liking.

This couple was notoriously troublesome in the village. They often caused trouble and gave him a headache. If he were not the village director, he would have beaten him to death long ago.

Chen Yang just smiled and didn't say much.

Fighting can't solve problems, but it feels good.

Moved out two stools.

Chen Yang asked for details.

"Uncle Guoqiang, you just said that the fire in the paper mill was set by Chen Guangjun?"

To be honest, this news surprised Chen Yang.

The fire at the paper mill was actually caused by arson?

Chen Guoqiang sighed and nodded. "The police said he had confessed, so it shouldn't be false. This bastard is really a piece of shit..."

"But why would he set fire to the paper factory for no reason? Just to create chaos so he could steal desks from the elementary school?"

Chen Yang didn't understand at all.

set fire?

What is his purpose?
Taking advantage of the chaos to steal things from the elementary school?

In order to steal the desk, I deliberately set a fire. Arson is a serious crime. It’s just a desk. Is it worth it?
Isn't this like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?

Chen Yang really didn't understand what Chen Guangjun's train of thought was.

"According to the information from the public security department, based on Chen Guangjun's confession, they did set the fire to create some chaos, but they didn't expect the fire to get out of control."

Chen Guoqiang shook his head. "But this matter is not that simple."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang looked at him in confusion, waiting for his next words.

"Come to think of it, there is something wrong in the village too."

Chen Guoqiang sighed, seeming a little regretful. "Their family is engaged in fruit planting. They did make some money by planting kiwis in the past few years. However, in the past two years, due to the influence of the paper mill, their kiwi production has dropped a lot..."

Chen Yang thought for a moment, wondering what the connection was between the paper mill and the fruit.

"You mean the sewage issue at the paper mill?"

"Ah."

Chen Guoqiang nodded slightly and said, "Their orchard is next to Jiapigou. This row of alkaline water must have more or less affected the soil..." Hearing this, Chen Yang's face twitched slightly.

That makes sense.

There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.

The paper mill blocked Chen Guoliang's family's financial resources, so his son's motive for setting fire to the factory was obvious.

"Uncle Guoqiang, I have to say that the alkaline water from the paper mill really smells bad, and it's next to the school. Hasn't the village ever thought about dealing with it?" Chen Yang couldn't help complaining.

He never wanted to smell that smell again in his life.

In a sense, Chen Guangjun may have done a good thing.

“Why haven’t you dealt with it?”

Chen Guoqiang smiled bitterly, "The village spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a water purification device. The sewage discharged has also been tested. It smells bad, but there is no other way. We have to find a place to discharge it, right? It is impossible to stop production. After all, so many families in the village have invested in it and are just waiting to share the money at the end of the year..."

After all, interests are involved.

The interests of the whole village.

Everyone only sees the money. As long as there is money to be shared, they can tolerate the alkaline water, even if it is a bit smelly.

If you don't allow the factory to discharge pollutants, most people in the village may not agree.

This is human nature.

Chen Yang was speechless. He felt something was wrong, but he didn't know where to start.

It's not his turn to take care of this matter.

He is even less qualified to be the messenger of justice.

Now that the factory has burned down, perhaps this is a good ending.

"Chen Guoliang's family has been causing trouble for the factory over this matter for the past two years. The factory was in the wrong and gave them compensation every year, but we didn't expect that Chen Guangjun..."

Chen Guoqiang shook his head repeatedly, feeling somewhat regretful.

After what Chen Guangjun did, the paper mill might not be able to resume production for a while.

Not only that, Chen Guangjun's life is probably ruined. His momentary irrationality has ruined his youth, which is really a pity.

"Uncle Jingyun spent his whole life teaching and educating people. He was such a good person, but his children and grandchildren ended up like this. It's really sad."

Chen Guoqiang was very emotional.

The Uncle Jingyun he mentioned was Chen Guoliang’s father, Chen Jingyun, the former principal of the village primary school.

According to seniority, he was Chen Yang's grandfather, and he passed away two years ago.

When this was mentioned, Chen Yang thought of something and asked, "Why did they steal that desk? Is there anything special about that desk?"

"I heard it's golden nanmu, so it should be worth some money, but who knows!"

The things are still being held by the public security department, and he can't tell you the specific situation.

Chen Guoqiang waved his hand, "You went to school last night, right?"

"Ah."

Chen Yang nodded.

"Look at this thing. Did you leave it at school?"

While Chen Guoqiang was speaking, he took the briefcase from Xu Hu and took out an envelope from it.

An old-fashioned registered mail envelope.

It's bulging, as if a lot of things are stuffed inside.

Chen Yang took it and took a look.

The envelope was sealed tightly with glue. Judging from the marks of solidified glue, it must have been there for a long time.

"Chen Jingzhi received it."

There was something written on the envelope, including a name and an address.

This is the address of Chen Yang’s home in the provincial capital.

The font is very beautiful and neat. Without decades of practice, it would be impossible to write like this.

Chen Yang was a little surprised. Was this letter written to the old man?
