Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Hell

Before Zhang Taifeng could stand still, he couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Wei, there is one thing that I really need your opinion on." Before I asked what was going on, Xiao Guo who was at the side shouted loudly, "Hey! Do you know how to be polite?" Zhang Taifeng was stunned: "Where am I being rude?" Xiao Guo was very anxious, and said sharply: "We are discussing something, and you interrupt our conversation as soon as you enter the door. Isn't that considered rude?" Xiao Guo just said that there was a ghost following him to save the country, which made us laugh out loud, but he was full of anger, and now it was all on Zhang Taifeng.

I kept quiet on purpose to see how Zhang Taifeng reacted.Zhang Taifeng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately saluted Xiao Guoxing, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Still angry, Xiao Guo waved his hand and said, "Go away! Go to the side to cool off." Xiao Guo's bad attitude was extremely bad, Zhang Taifeng smiled bitterly, not angry, but softened his tone, and discussed with Xiao Guo: "I need to listen to Mr. Wei's opinion, and it is related to the lives of millions of people. It should be resolved sooner rather than later." ! May I speak first?"

In the same way, if it came from Wen Baoyu's mouth, I would not take it to heart at all.But based on my acquaintance with Zhang Taifeng, I know that he is definitely not a person who talks exaggeratedly.So, as he said, it is a very serious matter that the lives of millions of people are affected. I looked at Xiao Guo, who looked disdainful and sneered, "Is it that serious!" Zhang Taifeng said in a hurry: "It's extremely serious. It can't be delayed any longer. Some areas have already cut off the water supply. If we don't make a decision, the whole city will have no water supply!"

When Zhang Taifeng said such words, everyone who heard them was stunned.Bai Su raised her eyebrows, I know she, like me, immediately thought of Lao Cai's complaint just now. In fact, the abnormal supply of fresh water has been going on for a long time, and the people have complained, but the relevant parties have not explained in detail, only saying that there is some problem with the largest water storage lake, and the water supply for the whole city must be taken care of by other water storage lakes .Hearing what Zhang Taifeng said now, the other water storage lakes may no longer have water, which is why there has been a water cut-off.

This is easy to understand, but what is puzzling is, what does the water cut off have to do with the police?It seems that there are many articles in it. Wen Baoyu first asked: "Have you been transferred to work at the Water Affairs Bureau?" Zhang Taifeng smiled wryly: "Mr. Wen, I don't have time to joke with you. The matter is very serious. Mr. Wei, please listen to me..." I looked at Xiao Guo again, although Xiao Guo didn't want to, but he didn't say anything, obviously he also felt that the matter was very strange, and it was about people's livelihood, so I had to let him talk first.

Zhang Taifeng paused for a while, and then Xiao Guo said: "Use the simplest method!" Zhang Taifeng nodded again and again: "Thirty-two days ago, at midnight, the management personnel of the large water storage lake discovered that someone had placed a large number of unknown objects at the largest water-jutting channel. The water in the water is like ten thousand horses galloping..." Xiao Guo shouted: "There is no need to use adjectives!" Zhang Taifeng said: "I just want to explain that the situation at that time was that although the management personnel discovered this situation, they couldn't stop it."

I also feel that Zhang Taifeng's ability to narrate is quite poor, because he said a lot, but he didn't mention the core of the matter, which is what was put in the water storage lake.I wanted to ask, but was stopped by Bai Su. I knew what Bai Su meant, and he didn't let me ask, because he was afraid that the more I asked, Zhang Taifeng would not be able to explain clearly. I held back and kept silent, Zhang Taifeng continued: "I don't know who used some method to put those things under the water-collecting channel, it seems that they want to use the water washed down from the water-collecting channel to wash those things... ..."

When he said this, I could barely bear it, but Hong Ling couldn't, she said loudly: "After talking for a long time, what are those things?" Wen Baoyu applauded vigorously, obviously that was also the question he wanted to ask. Zhang Taifeng spread his hands, with a bitter expression: "I just don't know what those things are!" Bai Su sighed: "Let him talk, don't interrupt him!" Hong Ling opened her mouth wide, it seemed that she had to work very hard to keep her voice down. Only then did Zhang Taifeng continue: "According to the confessions of the four management personnel who saw that peculiar situation at the time—after repeated isolation and interrogation, the confessions of the four of them are completely consistent, and there is no reason for people to believe it."

Zhang Taifeng insisted on speaking slowly, no matter how impatient we were, there was nothing we could do. Zhang Taifeng also saw that we were very impatient, he smiled wryly and said: "Because the matter is really special, if Mr. Wei is willing to drive to the big storage lake, and let the four managers explain it on the spot, it will be much easier to understand .” I refused: "I think my understanding is not bad, as long as you don't go around in circles and speak frankly, a few of us here can understand." Zhang Taifeng took a long breath and made hand gestures: "We often see goods being unloaded on the pier, using a large net, putting the goods in the net, and hoisting them with a crane..."

When he said this, we couldn't help but look at each other, because if he asked him to speak up, he would go further and further away! As Zhang Taifeng said, he gestured repeatedly, asking us not to interrupt him. He continued: "This kind of net has a large capacity, and it can hold dozens of large boxes one meter square. The situation is that someone put such a large net with dozens of boxes in the net under the Jushui channel. .” The more he talked, the more nervous his expression became. I said, "What's the big deal! As long as there is a lift truck, this can be done."

Bai Su said: "I think the problem is what's in those dozens of boxes!" Zhang Taifeng repeated: "Yes! Yes! That's what matters." I was annoyed: "So what exactly is it?" I have raised this question many times. If Zhang Taifeng can grasp the key points, he should have said what it is from the beginning. But until this time, his answer to this question was still: "I don't know, I don't know what it is." Xiao Guo and I couldn't bear it anymore, Bai Su waved to us, and asked Zhang Taifeng: "Did you pick up those boxes, open them, and see what's inside, but don't know what it is?" Zhang Taifeng shook his head: "No. The situation is that those boxes are made of unknown materials, and they will be dissolved under the impact of the water flow! When the four administrators saw it, only half of the boxes in the net might be left , and the remaining half is also rapidly dissolving.” The situation Zhang Taifeng mentioned is indeed very special. I conceived that strange picture in my mind, and immediately asked: "The box will dissolve. Is there nothing in the box?" Zhang Taifeng took a breath, and his expression became more serious: "Yes, they couldn't see what was in the box at first, but after they got the powerful light, they could see clearly that the box was full of a kind of light blue crystal, like It’s coarse salt. That kind of thing dissolves faster in water, and once it’s washed into the storage lake by water, it immediately dissolves in the water and disappears!” When Zhang Taifeng said this, Bai Su, Xiao Guo and I all stood up, feeling the seriousness of the matter. According to what Zhang Taifeng said about the contents of the box, what kind of chemicals did they look like? So many chemicals were dissolved into the storage lake, and the matter could be big or small—if it was poisonous, it would be a huge disaster! At this time, I also knew why the water supply situation was so bad recently. It must be that the relevant parties stopped the operation of the large storage lake after receiving the report.And the large storage lake is responsible for 60% of the water supply task. Once the water supply is stopped, the water supply situation of the entire city will naturally be terrible! Now it seems that it has reached the point where there is no water available, which is naturally extremely serious. However, according to what Zhang Taifeng said, the incident has happened for more than a month. Don't you know the composition of the chemical dissolved in the water storage lake? We all waited for Zhang Taifeng to continue. Zhang Taifeng clenched his fists: "The four administrators were naturally surprised when they saw this situation, and immediately reported it to their superiors. However, due to the strange situation, it took some time for the superiors to understand what happened. When the superiors arrived, All the boxes and the crystals inside had been dissolved in the water, like a dream gone without a trace, only the big net remained—if it wasn’t for the net, no one would believe what the four administrators said. The authorities notified the police and I arrived at the scene at 3:00 am." Although Zhang Taifeng's way of narrating makes people impatient, it has the advantage of being able to explain things clearly. He paused for a while before continuing: "At dawn, I summoned experts, and soon there must be a heavy truck with a load of more than ten tons. It used to drive along the large storage lake and stopped beside the Jushui Road. There are obvious heavy marks on the ground, and it is estimated that the chemicals dissolved in the water storage lake are about eight to ten tons." Zhang Taifeng sighed: "According to the calculation based on the water storage capacity of the large storage lake, the water in the storage lake contains about 50-75 ppm of this crystal, that is, 50 to 70 parts per million. Fives." Hong Ling shook her head: "Even an ordinary poisonous drug is enough to kill people. Who did such a terrible thing!" This time it was my turn not to interrupt Hong Ling, so I asked, "What kind of chemical is it? What's the result of the test?" When such a thing happened, no matter how strange it was, the only way to deal with it was to immediately stop the water supply to the large storage lake, and then carry out tests as soon as possible to find out what was dissolved in the water. It has been more than a month since the incident, and the test results should have come out long ago, and the water supply of the large storage lake has not been restored, so it is speculated that the test results must be very alarming. But Zhang Taifeng's answer was unexpected. He said: "The testing work started the next day, and the results will be available after 24 hours. The results are nothing." I was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean nothing?" Zhang Taifeng took a deep breath: "There is nothing, just the water in the storage lake, except for the normal ingredients, there is no addition of any substances, and no harmful or poisonous ingredients have been found. It is completely as if there is nothing. It happened!" I said, "It must be that the test work is not perfect! So many chemicals have been dissolved in the water, even the most common sodium chloride should be able to detect it." Zhang Taifeng didn't really pay attention to my opinion. He seemed to be self-conscious and continued: "The laboratory work was carried out seven times in the local area, and the results were the same. The water in the large storage lake was used to raise several fishes that are most sensitive to water quality, and there was no problem." When Zhang Taifeng said this, he looked towards us, and I first said: "With such test results, it is likely that the chemical work cannot detect that chemical; and testing with animals requires long-term observation, and many of them can cause cancer. It takes a year or more for the substance to kick in." Zhang Taifeng nodded: "It is precisely because of this that even though the test results show that the water quality is normal, we still dare not decide to resume the water supply. Relevant authorities have sent water to more than 20 countries for repeated tests, and the results are consistent with the results of local tests. Similarly, the water does not have any abnormal ingredients at all!" Bai Su frowned, Hong Ling's eyes widened, and Xiao Guo put his affairs aside temporarily, thinking.Wen Baoyu pointed to the sky, it seemed that he was going to make a long speech, I hurriedly gestured to stop him from speaking, and hurriedly said: "I remember a few years ago, there was a case where someone poisoned a water storage lake, then blackmailed him, and was later killed by Magnolia Sisters are smashed, is someone doing this again?" Zhang Taifeng shook his head: "In the beginning, we also had such an idea, but no one has ever made a request. The person who put a lot of chemicals into the storage lake seems to have put the chemicals in for the purpose of putting them in!" My thoughts were very disordered——I didn't let Wen Baoyu speak, because I was afraid that what he said would be irrelevant, but in fact, I wasn't much better myself. I also said whatever came to my mind, and suddenly said, "It would take a long time to put so many items in the Jushui Channel with a heavy-duty lift truck. It's really ridiculous that those four administrators only found out after the fact!" Zhang Taifeng replied: "There is a regulation to inspect once an hour. Since no one would expect such a thing to happen, one inspection per hour is enough, and one hour is enough to put down those chemicals." I said: "That means that the person who did this has an understanding of the hourly inspection system. He must have conducted a careful observation beforehand. Did he report any suspicious persons beforehand?" Zhang Taifeng suddenly showed a very strange expression, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stopped talking. This kind of performance of his is really unpredictable and profound, and everyone is looking forward to him.Zhang Taifeng thought for a while before saying: "After the incident happened, a contingency team was set up, among which the police were in charge of all aspects of investigation, and they also extensively investigated the question raised by Mr. Wei just now." I stomped heavily: "Just tell me the results you found! Don't make any more circles!" Zhang Taifeng felt very aggrieved: "Because the data they found was ridiculous, the police did not consider it—two men and women who fell in love near the storage lake at night said that they were at the storage lake two days before the incident happened. I met a ghost before!" I couldn't help laughing when I heard it, and couldn't help but blurted out: "What the hell!" At this moment, Bai Su stood up suddenly. I looked at her and saw what she wanted to say, but she didn't say it.This situation is clearly because she thought of something, but she couldn't say it for a while—this kind of situation often occurs in the process of thinking. After waiting for a while, Bai Su sat down again without saying anything.I continued to ask Zhang Taifeng: "The source of a large number of chemicals should not be difficult to trace." Zhang Taifeng smiled bitterly: "I checked, but there is no result." At this time, there was a short silence, and then Zhang Taifeng said: "The water supply of the large storage lake cannot be stopped forever. Whether the water supply should be resumed or continue to be stopped. There are differences of opinion in the emergency treatment team. I propose to seek Mr. Wei's opinion. Everyone agrees." I couldn't help but smile wryly: "That's too much for me!" Zhang Taifeng was very serious, and he didn't mean to "eat tofu" at all: "In any case, Mr. Wei should be asked to express his opinion-in the emergency response team, the number of people in favor of restoring the water supply and those who disagreed were exactly equal. Everyone agreed that Mr. Wei would come Cast the decisive vote." I thought to myself: These people are simply irresponsible to the extreme!It's really unreasonable for such an important matter to be decided by a commoner like me!I certainly do not have the responsibility to decide whether to supply water! While thinking, I looked at Bai Su, and saw that Bai Su was discussing something with Xiao Guo in a low voice.I raised my voice: "I have absolutely no responsibility to decide such a thing, I have no opinion." While talking, Lao Cai came out again and said loudly: "How can we live without water! If there is no more water, the whole city will die of thirst!" Zhang Taifeng said: "It's impossible to die of thirst, but no one can predict what the whole city will become!" I sneered at him: "No matter what you do, I won't vote for this, but I will definitely investigate the whole matter to the end." Zhang Taifeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitantly said: "Things are so weird, could it be... yes..." As soon as I saw his ghostly expression, I knew what he was going to say.I shook my head: "If the aliens want to tamper with the water storage lake, I don't think they will need to use tons of chemicals. Don't think about it from that perspective!" Zhang Taifeng smiled wryly: "But there is something dissolved in the water, why can't it be tested? So I think it is possible that the things dissolved in the water are not substances on the earth at all, so there is such a situation." I couldn't help but smile bitterly—what Zhang Taifeng said was not without reason. The process of detecting a certain substance through testing is originally a reduction process. The occurrence of this process is due to first knowing that there is substance A, there will be reaction A, and then knowing that there must be substance A if there is reaction A. If it is a substance that is not known at all, of course there is no assay method to know its existence. Assuming that the substance dissolved in the water is a new and unknown substance, then using known methods to test it, of course, has never had any results. Unknown new substances may naturally come from extraterrestrials, but they may also be new discoveries and new synthesis by earthlings. If it weren't for the nonsense of those four administrators, the situation would be more serious than imagined. And Zhang Taifeng repeatedly emphasized that the four administrators had no motive to lie, and after repeated cross-examination, they all passed the polygraph test, so everything they said should be believed, that is to say, there were indeed a large number of crystals dissolved in the storage. water lake. Knowing that something like this did happen, it is actually easy to draw conclusions about how to deal with it. After a month passed, although it looked like nothing happened on the surface, it definitely didn't mean that nothing would happen, because a large number of crystals did dissolve into the water! Before finding out what is dissolved in the water, the water in the storage lake should not be used for drinking or using, because no one can know what the consequences will be. When I was thinking about this, Bai Su suddenly asked Zhang Taifeng: "Among the emergency response team, are you in favor of restoring the water supply, or against it?" Zhang Taifeng raised his hand and said loudly: "I object, I do my best to object! Because since you know that something has entered the storage lake, you should not take risks before you understand what it is!" What Zhang Taifeng said was the same as what I thought just now. Unexpectedly, I couldn't make a decision just now and refused to "vote", but Bai Su's attitude was very firm. She said: "Your idea is right! Those who are eager to restore the water supply are very irresponsible. Pretending to be invisible to completely unpredictable consequences is like ostriches with their heads buried in the sand!" Upon hearing Bai Su's words, Zhang Taifeng was extremely excited, danced and said loudly: "With Mrs. Wei's words, I think the group will make a decision." Bai Su continued: "If the large storage lake does not supply water, the life and industrial production of the entire city will be in great trouble. The emergency team must have a good way to deal with the situation when it is not appropriate to disclose the real reason, otherwise it will cause serious problems. cause chaos." Zhang Taifeng nodded: "I think there are always responsible officials who will deal with such extraordinary situations." Bai Su took a breath: "You can report to the team, we will do our best to investigate this matter here, if there is no result within a month, then the whole city will have to resign themselves to their fate!" After hearing Bai Su's words, I couldn't help being secretly surprised.Because Bai Su said that, it was tantamount to setting a deadline for himself - if within a month, no results can be traced, the whole city will have to use the water in the large storage lake, what will be the result, really I have to resign myself to fate! However, I thought about it quickly, and besides working hard as Bai Su said, there is really no other way to think about.It is impossible for the large storage lake to be without water supply forever, and the one-month period can be said to be the limit. Thinking of this, I lifted my spirits and felt that I really had to go all out to find out the truth. I clenched my fists and raised my hands to show my support. Zhang Taifeng stepped back, bowed to Bai Su and me, and said, "I'll go back and report to the group!" Bai Su said: "Wait a minute, I have a question to clarify first." I thought to myself, if Bai Su really said to act, he acted, and this is the beginning.I know that Bai Su's reasoning ability is extremely strong, and the first question she wants to ask must be very important and critical.But what Bai Su said next baffled me to the extreme, and for a moment I couldn't imagine why she would ask such a question! Bai Su asked: "You said just now that before the incident happened, there was a man and a woman who said they had seen a ghost by the reservoir lake. Please tell me what happened in detail." Suddenly Zhang Taifeng's expression was weird, it was hard to describe, obviously he couldn't understand why Bai Su would ask such an insignificant question at such an urgent moment. His expression quickly turned into embarrassment again, and he couldn't answer. Bai Su frowned: "Could it be that the police didn't pay attention to the complaints of that pair of men and women?" Zhang Taifeng admitted with a wry smile: "Yes, when something like this happened, everyone was so busy that no one would pay attention to this... this..." Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "This kind of nonsense, isn't it?" Zhang Taifeng nodded, and I couldn't help but said: "The police don't care about this kind of damn complaint, it's very normal." Bai Su said seriously: "But this is the only weird thing before it happened. In the complete darkness, even a little firefly is the only light! Ignoring this only light is very unwise." Zhang Taifeng said: "I will send someone to contact that couple." Bai Su said: "Ask them to come to your office, and Mr. Guo and I will borrow your office and meet them there." Zhang Taifeng agreed repeatedly, and left in a hurry, the sound of his car speeding away could be heard outside the door. Originally we were listening to Xiao Guo talking about the stories of Youjiuguo, Chen Mingfu and Lu Xique, but we were interrupted by Zhang Taifeng, because what Zhang Taifeng said was very serious. In contrast, what Xiao Guo said only involved a few people That's all, the track seems so insignificant, I even forgot what Xiaobu said just now. After Zhang Taifeng left, we looked at Bai Su together, because it was up to her to take care of the matter, and we had to listen to her instructions on how to start the action. Bai Su said, "Xiao Guo, just now you said that You Jiuguo felt a ghost following him recently, how about the details?" No matter how I think about it, I never imagined that Bai Su would be interested in the matter of Youjiuguo, and his interest was also focused on the so-called ghost who followed Youjiuguo! I am very sure that the "ghost" that Xiao Guo said was traveling to save the country is not a soul that we have studied, explored, and has a strong interest in. Wow yelling ghost. I don't have much interest in that kind of ghosts, and I don't even think they exist—most of them are people pretending to be scary. But when I think that people can pretend to be ghosts, I can accept that Bai Suyao should track down the pair of men and women who "go to hell" by the reservoir lake, because gangsters (those who put a large number of unknown objects into the reservoir lake are gangsters, should not Wrong) In order to explore the terrain, it is possible to dress up as a ghost and move around the water storage lake. This is indeed a clue.However, there is really no need to delve into the ghost who followed You to save the country. When I thought of this, before Xiao Guo answered, I made a sound of dissatisfaction.Of course, Bai Su can fully understand what I mean, she smiled: "Zhang Taifeng will need some time to find those two damned people. Anyway, if you have time, let Xiao Guo finish the matter, wouldn't it be great?" I kept shaking my head.Bai Su said again: "Someone met a ghost by the lake, and Youjiu also saw a ghost. Don't you think there may be a connection between the two?" At that time, I heard Bai Su say this, it was like a fairy tale, I stretched out my hand and patted myself on the head, expressing that I couldn't accept it. Even Wen Baoyu, who has always been able to accept any unreasonable assumptions, shook his head and waved his hands: "There are hundreds of millions of ghosts and spirits in the world, how can such a coincidence be!" I followed it and said, "Nayou Jiuguo just felt that there was a ghost following him, not a ghost!" Bai Sudao: "I asked Xiao Guo just now, and Xiao Guo said that You Jiuo only felt that there was a ghost following him at first, but later he saw that ghost, and more than once." Just now Bai Su did have a low-pitched conversation with Xiao Guo, but no one would have thought that she would ask Xiao Guo these things. Xiao Guo has already said repeatedly: "Yes, You Jiuguo, hell, really hell!" I repeated in a low voice: "Damn it!" Xiao Guo ignored me and told me about the details of You Jiuguo's hell. It's hard to put into words the feeling of being followed by a ghost.
