Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 179 involves multiple cities! The situation is getting increasingly serious! [A long chapter of 4,000 words!]

How did I get through customs?
Xu Liang has had a lot on his mind since dawn.

There are also many concerns.

Among them, the most important is customs!

Ten thousand tons! A full ten thousand tons of scrap steel.

Surely Luo Jun couldn't have come by smuggling, could he?

No matter how powerful he is, he couldn't possibly smuggle 10,000 tons of scrap steel. With that kind of ability, what couldn't he smuggle?
A whole 'Double Lions Trampling the Earth' weighing several tons, isn't that more profitable than scrap steel?!

If it wasn't smuggled, then it must have entered through legitimate channels.

so.
How did you get through customs?

Xu Liang frowned and subconsciously asked.

Wang Chao, standing to the side, swallowed hard, glancing at the camera, somewhat afraid that the other person might say something shocking.

Fortunately, Zhao Deshan did not lose his temper.

He shook his head:

"I don't know. I'm just the workshop director. I only know about the transactions. That's all I know."

To be honest, Zhao Deshan didn't know whether to feel fortunate or regretful.

He's unlucky, but because of his position as workshop director, he has money for medical treatment and hasn't been too close to the radiation source, which has allowed him to survive until now.

You could say he was lucky. Out of so many workshops, he was the only one in charge of this batch of steel, and none of the other workshop directors had any problems!
"call"

Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to watch calmly.

Xu Liang did not investigate further.

The record for 10,000 tons of steel is certainly easy to find.

As long as it's reported, someone will naturally find out how Luo Jun managed to get this batch of scrap steel in!
"What about the smelting process?"

Xu Liang pondered for a moment before asking again.

"Did Luo Jun exhibit any unusual reactions during the smelting process?"

"And what about the steelworkers?"

Zhao Deshan immediately responded: "Luo Jun was not at the steel plant for those few days. He said he was out discussing some business, but I just realized that there were no new orders in those two days. It couldn't have been because of business!"

In other words.

Luo Jun knew from the beginning that there was a problem with the steel, so he hid beforehand and let the workers handle it.
This is utterly inhumane!

As for steelworkers
"Before the smelting, a worker did a routine inspection and opened a tin box, which contained a lot of iron particles."

"Later, the higher-ups pressed on, saying that these were all high-quality steel and didn't need to be inspected, so they forced us to throw everything in and melt it down together."

"But not long after the work started, people who had touched the metal boxes began to feel unwell."

"Upon learning of this, Luo Jun took people to the hospital."

Zhao Deshan began to explain slowly.

As his words surfaced, details that had long been forgotten by time reappeared before Xu Liang.

"But I never saw him again."

“I also asked Luo Jun, but he wouldn’t even tell me which hospital it was.”

"Thinking back now, I guess they didn't take him to the hospital, they just found a place to clean him up."

Speaking of which.

Zhao Deshan sighed.

After a moment of contemplation, he continued:
"There was another one, an intellectual from the workshop. He was a skilled worker in the workshop and had seen the workers open the tin box."

"I don't know what he thought of, but he felt something was wrong, so he went to find the factory manager."

"I didn't see him again after that. The next day, the factory manager said that the intellectual had fallen into the molten iron and died due to a mistake in operation."

巧.
What a coincidence!
He realized something was wrong and then accidentally fell into the molten iron.
It was just as coincidental that Jinbo disappeared right after discovering the truth about the steel!

Xu Liang's heart tightened, and he exchanged a glance with Wang Chao.

These two have most likely been dealt with.
Including Jin Bo, this is the third person to be directly killed by the other party!
Not to mention the illnesses and deaths caused directly by this batch of steel!

but
"I have one last question."

Xu Liang suddenly asked.

"you say!"

Zhao Deshan became serious and earnest.

Who bought this batch of steel?

Xu Liang frowned; he had noticed something.

That is, from a cross-dimensional perspective of time.

Those affected by this batch of steel should start getting into trouble, just like Sun Jin and Zhao Shui's son!
Just like in 1989, Zhao Deshan and many others suddenly had an accident!

If something goes wrong with this.

Sun Zhou will immediately report to the province. How could it be that he is only conducting a covert investigation and has not found anything, only thinking that it is environmental pollution?

The reality, however, is that there were no large-scale deaths.
"We sold it to quite a few people."

Zhao Deshan thought for a moment, and finally spoke:

"He did not choose to sell the high-quality steel to local workers."

"Instead, we'll lower the price slightly and sell it more widely, reaching out to several surrounding cities!"

"There were even a few orders from other provinces!"

Sell ​​them individually?
That is
"He sold this batch of steel to other parts of the city!?" Xu Liang suddenly asked in astonishment.

Zhao Deshan nodded.

"Yes, I remember there were several cities, and each city sold a portion."

"Within Sunzhou, only a small amount was sold to the locals."

And Sunshine Primary School occupies a portion of this position!

"Selling them scattered makes them look disorganized, doesn't it?"

Xu Liang's face darkened, and he began to suspect something.

Luo Jun's batch of steel is of very high quality, and the buyer certainly won't use it for ordinary residential housing; it's more likely to be the kind of building with a lot of people coming and going.

In this situation, only long-term residents will experience physical discomfort!
This prevented a large-scale, collective outbreak of symptoms.
But the problem is.
"At least four cities in Sunzhou are in big trouble this time."

Xu Liang murmured.

He dared not think.

If this news is confirmed, how furious will the cities that subsequently suffered undeserved calamities be when they receive the news?

What will happen to Sun Zhou under the combined encirclement and exclusion?
do not know.

But not knowing is already an answer!

Think of this.

Xu Liang sighed, then composed himself and looked at Zhao Deshan, saying:

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation this time, Mr. Zhao."

"We will contact you again if needed, please keep your communication channels open."

Zhao Deshan quickly said:

"No trouble, no trouble."

As long as we can get rid of Luo Jun, we can bring down the steel mill.
He wouldn't hesitate to jump off the building right now!
"Let's go first."

Xu Liang nodded, then put away his camera and led Wang Chao outside.

After leaving the ward, a few more steps led to the main gate.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside.

The two of them suddenly felt a little melancholy.

To be honest, when Xu Liang arrived and found out it wasn't a criminal case, he thought it wouldn't be too difficult and that he could get a million yuan, which was practically like picking up money!
When he learned of the police's stance, he felt a bit uneasy.

But it's not a big problem, after all, it's worth a million.

It can be found that the environmental pollution in the entire Sunzhou is extremely severe.
Solving the case myself for a million is enough to live up to my reputation for being a bargain!
But now.
one million?

One million to get him to expose a case involving 10,000 tons of industrial radioactive materials (cobalt-60)!?

This goes beyond just being a bargain.

That's incredibly audacious! Not for money, but purely because he enjoys the thrill of mocking Death!
"Chaozi, when is the court hearing?"

Xu Liang sat on the steps, smoking a cigarette with a melancholy expression.

This case cannot be suppressed.

Even if he were to submit the information to Upper City right now, Upper City wouldn't be able to suppress it.

why?
Because his mother is located in four different cities!
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, all the buildings constructed from this 10,000 tons of refined steel will have to be demolished and rebuilt!
The number of people affected is at least in the tens of thousands!
In the unlikely event that a conscientious businessman uses this type of steel to build residential houses...
An entire neighborhood was demolished, and thousands of people watched their homes being torn down for no apparent reason. How could this be concealed?
It can't be hidden!

Or should we keep it a secret for a few days?
Impossible!

After Xu Liang submits the information, the authorities will immediately take emergency measures, and then it will be impossible to keep it a secret any longer.

"I think the trial is scheduled for this week?"

Wang Chao scratched his head and spoke, then thought for a moment and decided on a specific time.

"Four days from now!"

Judging from the nature of the case, this falls under the category of civil cases.

Civil cases are different from criminal cases; the former often have a faster process!
In the previous life, with numerous legal procedures, simplified procedures were often used to complete a civil case from opening to closing in just two months.

It can take as long as a month!

The current case.
"Four days from now?" Xu Liang murmured.

That is, March 15th!
If you don't conduct your own verification before submitting it, the authorities will probably spend more time investigating and verifying it during this period.

Xu Liang pondered for a moment.

Ultimately, he decided that he needed to at least confirm within the next two days that Sun Jin's body had characteristics influenced by cobalt-60.

And confirm that the incident was indeed caused by radioactively contaminated steel before reporting it.

Reporting something without verification is a major taboo!

only.
It's still necessary to take precautions to ensure your own safety.

Thinking of this, Xu Liang suddenly stubbed out his cigarette and took out his phone from his pocket.

"dududu~"

After pressing a few dial buttons, the dial tone sounded in my ear.

Not long after.

The call was then connected.

"Hey?"

Wu Chengjun's voice came from the other end of the phone.

The voice sounded tired and weak.

Indeed.

In the early hours of the morning, the other person was still worried about his disappearance.

At over fifty years old, one really can't withstand this kind of strain.

"Teacher, have you eaten? Did you sleep well?"

Xu Liang smiled.

The other person's voice came through the speaker again.

Wu Chengjun said:

"Speak quickly, I still have to teach my students."

"Oh, so, you know, teacher, am I your student?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked.

Are they my students?

Wu Chengjun, who was far away in Shangcheng, was stunned. He looked at his phone, somewhat bewildered.

"What do you mean?" he asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, so... if someone targets me, you'll protect your students, right, teacher?"

Xu Liang spoke up.

After saying that, he hurriedly added something else.

"I'm your personal student!"

Wu Chengjun: ? ? ?

He had no idea what kind of nonsense the other person was spouting.

But considering what happened in the early hours of the morning, Wu Chengjun thought he might have been frightened, so he patiently comforted him:

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, your teacher will always be your teacher!"

"Even if our teacher is getting old, our senior brothers are still in their prime!"

"And your teacher also has friends and classmates."

He holds a very high position; he is not just a teacher.

His classmates from the same period had already risen to high positions.

Students of classmates, or students cultivated by oneself, are an undeniable and powerful force!

Therefore, even if someone wants to harm Xu Liang, they should think twice before making a move.

"I can rest assured that."

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

"Teacher, you should rest."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

In the upper city, Wu Chengjun listened to the 'beep beep beep' sound of the phone being hung up, a puzzled look on his face.

But after thinking about it, I ultimately didn't care.

The other party is in Sunzhou.

Sunzhou is such a small place, nothing major can possibly happen there.

Furthermore, he knew Xu Liang.
She has always been his most worry-free student!
Thinking of this, Wu Chengjun stopped caring.

at the same time.

Sunzhou, Municipal Building.

The body is gone!

"Zhang Fei, what's the situation with Luo Jun? Did you provoke him again?!"

"Sun Jin's body was stolen."

Inside the municipal building.

At the Sunzhou Police Station, Chief Ma Hui was anxiously heading towards an office.

This morning, he received a message that left him completely baffled.

The body of Sun Jin, which was kept at the funeral home, has disappeared!
That's right, the body was stolen!

Ma Hui immediately thought of Luo Jun, and after several tests, he was certain that Luo Jun was the one who did it!

But here comes the problem.

If the other party did it, why would they destroy the body?

In the end, Ma Hui could only think of one thing.

That is... stalling for time!

By having the police redistribute their resources to the remaining bodies and reorganize the chain of evidence, they can slow down their investigation into the environmental pollution case and the deeper aspects of the case!

In this way, the matter was dragged down to the provincial level, ultimately overshadowing the deeper case!

"The province is now..."

Ma Hui looked extremely anxious; he felt like he was being roasted over a fire.

But just as he arrived at Zhang Fei's office door...

He reached out and opened the door.
"Snapped!"

Several middle-aged men, both strangers and familiar figures, dressed in executive jackets, silently turned around and glanced at Ma Hui.

Inside the office, Zhang Fei was trembling in a corner.

Ma Hui froze, then his pupils contracted.

These people are
He came from the provincial government!
Among them, Lin Fuqiang, who had spoken to him in the early hours of the morning, was now sitting in a chair, staring at him!
As expected!

Xu Liang's problem made the province realize something, and without even giving a notice, they directly sent people to raid Sunzhou!

Ma Hui was immediately drenched in sweat, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He couldn't utter a single word he wanted to say; he swallowed it back.

"Who let you in?"

At this moment, Lin Fuqiang suddenly spoke coldly.

"go out!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hui woke up with a start and quickly closed the door and left.

"Snapped!"

The door is closed.

Zhang Fei followed him out.

"What's going on?!" Ma Hui asked anxiously, his voice low. "How did they get down so fast?!"

"I don't know, but people from the Public Security Bureau, Health Bureau, and Environmental Protection Bureau have all come—they're all from the provincial level!"

Zhang Fei's face was very ugly. At noon, Lin Fuqiang suddenly appeared in the municipal building with the rest of the people.

He never expected the other party to conduct a surprise inspection!
Of course, I'm not afraid at this moment.

All that remained was resentment.

Lin Fuqiang's visit only indicates that they want to focus resources on resolving the pollution case, not to continue digging into it.
After finishing the digging, Zhang Fei knew he would leave, and the new person who took over would not continue digging.

And Luo Jun.
It seems they will continue to evade justice!
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei seemed to lose all his spirit, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily.

"Ugh"

And in the office.

At this moment, Lin Fuqiang looked at the stacks of documents in front of him and was just about to say something.

In a trance.

His phone suddenly rang.

"dududu~"

Lin Fuqiang paused for a moment, glanced at the caller ID, and then answered the call without trying to avoid suspicion.

The moment the call connected, Xu Liang's voice rang in my ears.

"Senior brother, eldest senior brother, am I not your real junior brother!?"

Lin Fuqiang paused.

Why does that sound like a cry for help?
But the person has already come out, hasn't he?
After thinking it over, Lin Fuqiang figured it was his junior colleague who was frightened. He glanced at the other colleagues and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, don't worry."

It's just a pollution case; it's easy to resolve if people from the provincial government come.

so.
"People from the provincial government have arrived."

Lin Fuqiang smiled and said:
"Don't worry."

There was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time.

After a long while, sound finally came from the speaker.

"Are they only people from the province?"

Only?

Lin Fuqiang was taken aback; this question left him with a head full of questions.

"What do you mean?"
