Chapter 19 I Can't Swallow This Injustice
"Quickly...the reception room is this way..."
A large group, consisting of a few police officers and mostly community security personnel, surged up to the fifth floor.
Gu Kaishan was a big, burly man who took the lead and was as tall as an iron tower.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he was taken aback:
There were seven or eight people standing in the aisle, presumably all staff members of the cultural relics company.
Outside the door, Lin Sicheng was straddling someone, punching them repeatedly while cursing:
"Yellowcake, depleted uranium... how the hell do you dare?"
Looking at that person again, their face was covered in blood, and they were gushing blood bubbles from their mouth.
Not far away, another person lay with their eyes closed and a large pool of blood under their head.
Gu Kaishan's eyelids twitched: "Lin Sicheng, stop hitting him!"
Lin Sicheng seemed not to hear.
"You bastard!"
He cursed under his breath and kicked her.
With a cry of "Ouch!", Lin Sicheng rolled twice.
Gu Kaishan checked the pulses of the two men again and then looked them over.
Nothing serious, he instinctively pushed the door open again: "The stolen goods are inside, right?"
Lin Sicheng shouted urgently, "Uncle Gu, don't go in!"
Why can't we go in? Is it dangerous?
Then why are you making such a big fuss?
He instinctively took a step back, his hand on his waist: "What happened?"
"Two fake Hong Kongers used counterfeit porcelain to commit fraud."
"No... if it's a scam, it's a scam, why are you hitting them?"
"It wasn't me who hit them, it was them who tried to run away, and when I stopped them, they attacked me with radioactive material..."
Lin Sicheng reluctantly got up. "Really, I was terrified..."
What, radioactive material?
Lin Chengwa, what are you doing here, hitting me with a hammer?
If you said he was holding a knife, Uncle Gu would accept it even with his eyes closed. What did you say, radioactive material?
He had been a policeman for half his life and had never seen one before.
"Uncle Gu, I'm not kidding you, the fake porcelain is the source of radiation, it's in a box inside. But he hit me with the box, so the porcelain is probably already broken and has produced radioactive dust contamination! So don't go in, report it to the city's emergency center immediately..."
Gu Kaishan looked around, half believing and half doubting, and asked, "Where's your grandpa?!"
"I studied the radiation source for an hour, then went to wash my face."
That's even more ridiculous.
Your grandfather is a cultural relics expert, not a nuclear expert.
I was still trying to study it for an hour... I was practically burning up.
Just as I was starting to have doubts, another rumbling sound came from the elevator entrance: "Quick... over here!"
Seven or eight doctors in protective suits emerged from the elevator carrying stretchers.
It's no wonder they arrived so quickly; Shaanxi Province has virtually no nuclear industry, few related research institutions, and even fewer patients. This resulted in them possessing formidable skills, yet having nowhere to use them.
Then, a junior colleague who had already graduated spoke with absolute certainty, claiming that the patient was his family member and that it was indeed uranium poisoning. The director was all smiles.
Then, most of the people in the department came.
Upon reaching the door, the lead doctor loudly asked, "Where is the patient?"
Lin Sicheng pointed to the bathroom: "They're still washing their faces!"
"You two go find it, and once you find it, immediately administer oral radiation protection medication, then take it to the ambulance!"
Lin Sicheng quickly added: "The patient was exposed to depleted uranium for an hour, the main component of which is uranium-238, with an estimated abundance of around 0.5%..."
Secondly, the radioactive source contains uranium oxide, not in large quantities, but with extremely high purity, and a uranium abundance of at least 25%...
25%?
With further refinement, it could be used to make nuclear bombs.
The doctor was startled: "How did you know?"
"I study ceramics, so I can't explain it in a short time. You should test the radioactive source first... It's inside, in a box!"
Lin Sicheng pointed and pulled Gu Kaishan back.
The doctor entered the meeting room and closed the door. Immediately, an alarm sounded from inside, followed by the doctor's exclamation: "320 millivolts per hour, that high?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Sicheng's face darkened even more.
The porcelain teapot must have broken, causing dust to spread from the reception room, which explains the high radiation levels. Before it broke, the radiation levels, even when low, were never below 100.
This amount could directly increase the risk of cancer. Moreover, they haven't even detected how much radioactive gas Grandpa inhaled.
The crucial point is that my grandfather died of lung cancer in his previous life.
Lin Sicheng grew angrier the more he thought about it, wishing he could stab each of the two bastards on the ground.
Just as I was gritting my teeth, the doctor ran out: "Emergency evacuation, emergency isolation, everyone downstairs... Xiao Zheng, call two more ambulances!"
It wasn't until this point that Mr. Bai and his seven or eight staff members, who had been half-believing, finally believed it.
Those who were braver were alright; at most, their faces would turn pale. The less timid ones trembled, and two of the women even started crying.
President Bai walked over, feeling both relieved and apprehensive: if Lin Sicheng hadn't repeatedly asked them to leave, they would still be in the reception room...
"Kobayashi, thank you!"
Lin Sicheng had no intention of being perfunctory, so he simply waved his hand and said, "President Bai, let's go to the hospital first!"
"Sigh, okay..."
One group of people after another came and went, expressing their gratitude continuously. After they finally finished walking, Gu Kaishan grabbed his arm: "What will happen to your grandfather?"
Lin Sicheng didn't know how to answer, and after a long while he finally said, "I don't know!"
You don't know how you dared to beat those two people up like that?
"Let me call your dad first!"
"good……"
Lin Sicheng responded, then gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Gu, thank you for your trouble!"
Gu Kaishan understood immediately: if it involves a radioactive leak, at the very least the district level should take charge.
However, if this is handled by the local jurisdiction, which involves local units, there might be unforeseen circumstances due to the potential negative impact. It's possible that the matter will be downplayed.
Lin Sicheng couldn't swallow this insult, which is why she sent him a text message.
A fraud case involving ten million yuan is something the district bureau might only encounter a few times a year, let alone one that's also labeled as a "nuclear leak."
Once you get your hands on it, no matter which district it's in, there's absolutely no reason for you to let it go.
"I'll report to the bureau leaders first; the criminal investigation department will definitely take over."
He paused for a moment, then gestured with his chin towards the two suspects lying on the ground, their bodies mangled and bloodied. "When we have to take their statements, do you know what to say?"
"Uncle Gu, don't worry!"
There are surveillance cameras in the reception room. If you check them, you'll know that the box that smashed itself contained a radioactive source. That's for sure, right?
Furthermore, who can guarantee that those two people aren't hiding the same thing, or that they might run away and harm others?
As long as the person is not dead, it is legitimate self-defense, even if it is an emergency avoidance of danger.
After a moment's thought, he followed Gu Kaishan downstairs.
They went to the hospital first, and after a lot of trouble until midnight, they confirmed that Lin Sicheng was not contaminated, and then he was taken to the district bureau.
The lights were bright, and there was a glass of water on the table. A man and a woman, both dressed in police uniforms, sat opposite each other.
First, they asked for his name, age, and occupation, and then they asked him how he deduced that the evidence contained radioactive material.
Lin Sicheng presented his arguments logically and with evidence, and in addition to his previous deductions, he suggested further directions for the police investigation:
The key point of the inspection was the teapot box, which definitely had a layer of aluminum foil or similar material, thus proving that the two fake merchants knew beforehand that the porcelain teapot was radioactive.
Secondly, the investigation motivation: With such a high degree of simulation, it would be easy to find any antique company and sell it for tens of millions. Why take such a big risk and sell it to a certain unit?
He suspected that this group of fraudsters wanted to operate in a long-term, exploitative manner, treating the municipal cultural relics company like韭菜 (leeks), harvesting one crop after another.
After hearing this, the older male police officer looked at him strangely: "Student, if you want to say that someone is betraying you and colluding with others, just say so."
But believe it or not, it's highly likely...
...
The questioning lasted until late at night, and by the time Lin Sicheng left the police station, it was already past six in the morning.
Whether they believed his story or Gu Kaishan intervened, the interrogators did not delve into the matter of him assaulting someone.
They only told him to keep his phone on and be available whenever they needed him.
Lin Sicheng readily agreed and left the police station.
