Fang Lei didn't take the boy's words seriously at first. Who would listen to a dog? He thought it was just a boy's fantasy, just like what was said in many fairy tales. But when he left Lingshui Village and returned to Songjiazhuang, he unknowingly walked to the Lingshui River.
The weather this year was unusually cold, and the Lingshui River had already frozen over. The dark ice seemed bottomless under the sunlight, and Fang Lei knew that this was because the river water was polluted. He stared at the ice in a trance, and for some reason the little boy's words came to his mind again. "Ah Huang said that the water in the river is poisonous, and drinking it will give you a stomachache." This sentence was like a spell, and it kept turning around in his mind. In a flash, Fang Lei thought of something, found a tool to chisel open the ice layer, collected some water, and told his men to take it back and test it quickly.
The test results came out very quickly. The water quality in Lingshui River was the same as that in the well water. Both of them had excessive cyanide, and even the cyanide composition in both was exactly the same. After learning that the river had flooded several times due to heavy rains in summer, Fang Lei roughly guessed what the poisoning was. To prove his idea, he asked someone to test the nearby soil and groundwater and confirmed that they were all contaminated, and the toxic substances in the contamination were exactly the same as those in the well water.
Considering the plastic factory in Songjiazhuang that had previously stopped production, this so-called "poisoning" accident can be said to be the result of the people of Songjiazhuang's own actions.
After hearing Fang Lei's statement, everyone in Songjiazhuang was stunned. Song Wancai reacted the most, "It wasn't someone who poisoned us, it was our own fault?"
Fang Lei nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief when the result came out. The social impact of environmental pollution poisoning and deliberate large-scale poisoning is different. The latter can easily cause panic among the people. If the case cannot be solved for a while, it will be a big trouble.
Out of kindness, Fang Lei reminded the villagers, "These fields may not be suitable for planting in a year or two. There are too many toxic substances in the soil, and the harvest will not be good even if you plant them."
"What? We can't even plant the land?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the village immediately became noisy. Because the plastic factory had closed down, the villagers were discussing whether to follow the example of Lingshui River and Shigou River and rent out the land, so that they could make some money. Now that they heard that they couldn't farm anymore, wouldn't that income be gone again?
Fang Lei looked at them helplessly. He was a policeman who solved cases, not a policeman who helped the villagers get rich. Talking to him about this kind of thing would not solve the problem. "Okay, that's the case. Be careful not to fetch water from the well. Inform the villagers so that no one will take it lightly."
After saying all this, Fang Lei did not stay in Songjiazhuang for long. He had to go back to write a report. After driving out of the village, Fang Lei hesitated for a few seconds and turned in the direction of Lingshui Village. He had been thinking about the big yellow dog these past two days. Normally, he should not believe these things, but for some reason, the words the little boy said always came back to his mind. And the way the little boy and the big yellow dog got along made him think, what if it was true?
Fang Lei drove to Lingshui Village with his mind wandering, and saw the little boy and the big yellow dog from a distance. The man and the dog were squatting at the entrance of a small courtyard by the road, talking about something, and from his perspective, they really looked like they were communicating.
Fang Lei thought he must be crazy.
Dong Xiaolei was quite happy to see Fang Lei again. He lost his father very early, and his impression of his father only remained in the photos. However, Dong Xiaolei felt that his father should be like Fang Lei, catching bad guys everywhere and looking majestic.
"Hello, police officer."
Fang Lei laughed, "Hello, Little Stone. What are you doing? Waiting to catch the bad guys again?"
Dong Xiaolei pouted and shook his head, "The bad guy complained to Brother Xiaoxi, and Brother Xiaoxi didn't let Ah Huang bully others. He said he would give the bad guy a chance to correct his behavior." Maybe it was because Fang Lei was wearing a police uniform when they first met, Dong Xiaolei trusted him very much and had no guard at all.
"Brother Xiaoxi is right. Bad guys should be punished for their mistakes, but if they admit their mistakes, they should be given a chance to correct their mistakes." Fang Lei said patiently. He also felt that Dong Xiaolei's behavior of letting the dog scare people was inappropriate. If no one cared, he would definitely be a naughty kid when he grew up.
Dong Xiaolei rolled his eyes, "How do I know that the bad guy really admits his mistake? What if he's lying to me?"
Fang Lei was troubled by this question. He had never dealt with such a young child. Are all children nowadays so smart? Fang Lei considered, "It depends on the attitude of the bad guy in admitting his mistakes..."
The two squatted there and chatted. Dong Xiaolei seemed very interested in catching the bad guys and kept asking questions around this topic. Fang Lei finally found an opportunity to change the topic to Ah Huang, and Dong Xiaolei immediately became hesitant. After telling the police about Ah Huang, Dong Xiaolei regretted it when he went back. Brother Xiaoxi said that this was a secret between him and Ah Huang, and he shouldn't tell others casually.
"Uncle police, I want to go back to eat."
Dong Xiaolei stood up and ran, and Ah Huang followed him quickly. Fang Lei looked at him and laughed, little brat, playing such a trick on him, I don't know if the adults had told him not to. Fang Lei thought about his crazy idea and shook his head.
For several days, Fang Lei came to Lingshui Village to find Dong Xiaolei whenever he had nothing to do. Children in the village generally don't go to kindergarten, and go directly to primary school when they are old enough. Dong Xiaolei is five years old this year, not yet old enough to go to primary school. Every day he takes Ah Huang to run around the village. Because his friends thought he was a liar before, no one was willing to play with him. Dong Xiaolei didn't mind, he had Ah Huang and brother Xiaoxi, and now he also had a police uncle.
Although the policeman looked nice, Dong Xiaolei still remembered Lu Lingxi's instructions and stopped talking about Ah Huang. But what did Fang Lei do? He got the information out of him without making any noise. But Fang Lei still couldn't believe it. How could a person communicate with an animal? Was Xiao Shitou the only special case or could other people do it?
Fang Lei couldn't explain why he was so concerned about this matter. He had a vague idea that if the police dogs in the team could also communicate with people, it would be so convenient to solve cases and catch thieves in the future. He appeared so frequently that Xu San had already been watching him. Xu San suspected that Fang Lei was a human trafficker and wondered if there were any rumors of lost children nearby. However, Xu San didn't tell Uncle Li, but secretly kept an eye on Fang Lei. Xiao Shitou, the naughty kid, had a big prejudice against him. Xu San hoped that if Fang Lei was really a human trafficker, he would jump out to save Xiao Shitou at the critical moment and change the impression of him in Xiao Shitou's mind. He would not be chased by Ah Huang every day and be scared to death.
Several people had different thoughts, and Lu Lingxi didn't know about them. He hadn't come to the flower garden very often recently. Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng were getting married soon, so Lu Lingxi was a bit busy, so he entrusted all the matters of the flower garden to Uncle Li, and called him every one or two days.
Uncle Li said that everyone in Songjiazhuang was fine. After he was discharged from the hospital, the villagers scolded Song Wancai. They all thought that he ignored everyone's health for money, and now that something happened, it should be Song Wancai's responsibility. Lu Lingxi felt that Song Wancai was wronged. When the village made money, no one talked about him, but when something happened, he was the one who took the blame.
The incident in Songjiazhuang was a big deal, and Fengcheng TV even did a special news program on the importance of environmental protection. There were rumors in Fengcheng that the city government was going to shut down all the small factories in the suburbs and would continue to focus on environmental protection next year.
Amidst various rumors, the management of Lingshui River has been put on the agenda.
