Chapter 193 Let’s go to the reservoir to take a look

How could an individual possibly obtain chemicals like heavy metals? White phosphorus is a highly toxic substance; it must have been the work of an organized and premeditated criminal gang.

I just don't know where this group of people is hiding. What are they doing by staring at the water in this reservoir? Are they trying to use this water to kill someone?

You don’t have to guess, it must be ordinary people who were killed.

When seeing the water quality test report, Bai Yangfan showed no surprise on his face, as if he had expected it.

"No wonder the big fish said its mouth hurts. Living in water with excessive levels of heavy metals and residual poisons is bound to cause damage to its skin."

Lu Jingheng knew this was common sense, and he was curious, wondering who would secretly release these chemicals into the reservoir. How much would it take to pollute such a large reservoir?

Besides, no one was diverting the water from the reservoir for any purpose. He had checked with the Water Conservancy Bureau, and found that neither Tong County nor Kyoto had considered using the reservoir as a reserve water source.

Then why would someone put drugs in the reservoir?

He told Bai Yangfan all the questions in his mind and what he had found out, and he really wanted to hear the woman's opinion.

"Yang Fan! Tell me, why would someone want to take over that reservoir?" Lu Jingheng frowned, puzzled. "What secrets does that reservoir hide?"

"I really don't know about that." Bai Yangfan put the report aside and thought, "We don't know when the water in the reservoir was tampered with, and we don't know who did it.

"I'm completely in the dark, I don't understand a thing, but don't worry, since someone has taken action, there will definitely be clues left. Send a few people to monitor the reservoir day and night. I don't believe the fox can hide its tail."

Lu Jingheng glanced at Bai Yangfan and thought her suggestion was good. He would start making arrangements tomorrow.

Bai Yangfan’s idea was correct. Although he couldn’t understand who would attack the reservoir and what their intentions were, the fact that someone had attacked it meant there was a problem.

The water in the reservoir couldn't have become like that for no reason. Since neither Kyoto nor Tong County used that water, what did they want to do by making it poisonous?

Is it going to kill the fish and shrimp in the water? It doesn't look like it. The amount of white phosphorus is not enough, so the number of fish and shrimp killed will not be large. Small fish and shrimp will die, but larger ones will not be killed at all.

If the dosage is increased, all the fish in the reservoir might die with their bellies turned white.

"Lu Jingheng! What would happen if the water in the reservoir was released?"

Lu Jingheng was stunned when Bai Yangfan suddenly asked this question.

"Flood discharge?" After careful consideration, he felt that this was very possible, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. "If it's true, the entire Tong County will be flooded."

After his explanation, Bai Yangfan understood that the reservoir was located at a relatively high altitude, and if a flood was really released, all the water would flow to Tong County.

"If the floodwaters were poisonous, would all the people and livestock in Tong County be wiped out?"

This question made Lu Jingheng's scalp tingle, and his face was solemn: "If it is really as you said, it will be the biggest disaster in history. Many people will die. It will be more terrible than an earthquake."

In her previous life, Bai Yangfan would have ignored these trivial matters. Who was born and who died had little to do with her. In her eyes, there was no life or death, only missions and plunder.

The purpose of life is to complete various tasks, eat delicious food and have fun.

After entering this era, she gradually became more responsible, especially after she joined this special organization, she also thought about protecting ordinary innocent people.

If her speculation was true, then this matter would be of great significance. She could understand those people wanting to cause trouble, but she truly could not comprehend their targeting of innocent civilians.

Just like in her past life, politicians hired assassins to kill each other. This was understandable. But why would they sacrifice innocent lives to elevate their status? What right did they have to do this?

In this life, she and her brother are ordinary people.

If someone points a gun at them or hurts them, and they are unarmed and unable to resist, and are at the mercy of others, that would be a very unpleasant feeling.

That is why the country has set up various monitoring departments to protect the vulnerable and helpless innocent lives.

"No matter whether my speculation is reasonable or not, I will go to the reservoir tomorrow night. I want to go down and see if anyone wants to use the water in the reservoir to do anything." Bai Yangfan's tone was very steady, without any emotional fluctuations.

She said she wanted to go down to the reservoir to take a look, as easily as saying she wanted to take a walk on the street.

Lu Jingheng was startled: "You want to go down to the reservoir?"

"Well! I'm an excellent swimmer. You should have known that when we were in Liujia Village." Thinking of how Ye Lianlian pushed the original owner into the pond and how she appeared instead, Bai Yangfan felt helpless and sighed secretly, "Originally, I didn't want to reveal my ability. Ye Lianlian is so abominable. She actually brought Liu Shanmao here just for a bastard like you.

I just wanted to hear how she would slander me to others. That woman must have thought I was dead. She was not polite at all, and she was as aggrieved as a white lotus, saying I was worthless. I held my breath underwater for several minutes before coming out, and she was so scared that she thought she saw a ghost.

Lu Jingheng was surprised: "..." How did I become a dog man again? I can't get over this nickname, right?

But the woman said it so smoothly, she must have cursed him countless times in her heart. Forget it, who made him treat her so badly in the past? If he wants to curse, he can curse her a few times to vent his anger.

Once you calm down, you won't curse anymore.

"I know you're a good swimmer." Lu Jingheng looked at Bai Yangfan, a guilty look in his eyes. "But the water in the reservoir is poisonous. How can you swim without any protective gear? What if something happens? Do you really think there's something under the water?"

Bai Yangfan shook his head slightly. "I'm not sure. I'm just guessing. In the end, I'll have to rely on action to prove whether my guess is correct. If you're worried, go get a diving suit. If you really don't have one, or if you don't want to alert anyone, just prepare a pair of protective goggles for me. The rest is fine. I'll take protective measures."

A diving suit? A woman could even use a diving suit? No way! Even her grandmother couldn't possibly have gotten her a diving suit. But how did she know about diving suits, a diving device rarely seen in public? Did she just hear about it?

The dog-watching man stared at him with a pair of complicated and questioning eyes. Bai Yangfan explained calmly and slowly, "I don't actually know how to use a diving suit. I just read about it in a book and I'm curious."
