"I really didn't notice that. I was sent here early this morning after returning from training in the provincial capital. I'll go back and ask now!"
Almost as soon as the swine fever outbreak at the farm was brought under control, the young policeman returned on his bicycle.
"Zhu Laoqi was released ten days ago. Captain Qi learned about your situation and has already begun investigating."
To be honest, Zhao Youcai felt quite sorry for those pigs.
Just four hours later, only six of the dozens of pigs had died. People from the epidemic prevention station have confirmed that it was a small-scale poisoning incident.
These days, nothing is productive, and people are reluctant to eat meat even during holidays. Yet, some people let so many pigs cause a disaster without batting an eye.
Meat infected with swine fever cannot be eaten; it must be disposed of through special methods such as cremation or deep burial.
Looking at his busy employees, Zhao Youcai now felt suspicious of everyone.
Tell the third brother to bring over the recent visitor register and breeding logs from the farm, and give them to the young policeman in front of him as clues for the investigation. After all, it's better to leave this kind of thing to professionals.
Zhao Youcai frowned, pondering where the loophole was that allowed someone to poison someone silently. He considered this loss a lesson learned, so as to avoid suffering even greater disasters in the future.
Thinking of the few poultry in the farm that hadn't yet shown any problems, Zhao Youcai disregarded everything else and personally went to the place where the poultry were prepared with food and water. He used the cover to exchange the farm items from his cheat code and the various water-soluble medicines that had just appeared in the pharmacy.
Zhu Laoqi, wearing a large straw hat on his head, was crawling in through a dog hole outside the farm wall with a sinister smile, holding a large animal-specific syringe in his hand.
It contained a murky liquid and emitted a foul odor.
Although Zhu Laoqi was also disgusted by the smell, he was unusually excited when he learned that dead pigs were being dragged out of the farm one after another.
He wanted to see if Zhao Youcai could hold onto the factory director position he had snatched from him!
At this moment, Zhu Laoqi was filled with anger and jealousy, and he didn't notice anyone approaching him.
When he finally looked up from the shiny shoes, he saw a man in a police uniform staring at him sternly.
Zhu Laoqi was startled and hurriedly turned around to crawl out through the dog hole, but he was utterly desperate the moment he crawled out.
Several men in police uniforms outside the wall were staring at him with expressions that were hard to describe.
The police probably never imagined that Director Zhu, who used to give people a generous and open impression, would actually be such a petty person who would crawl through dog holes.
Zhu Laoqi clutched his pocket tightly, his eyes scanning the area intently several times.
Unfortunately, Zhao Youcai, whom he had been longing to see, never showed up, which disappointed him somewhat.
This was a medicine that he had spent a lot of time and money to find, one that could make animals sick. He wanted to see what would happen if he injected it into Zhao Youcai's body.
Anyway, he was doomed the moment he was discovered. Rather than suffer in prison, he might as well kill Zhao Youcai and vent his anger before dying a quick and painless death. At least he'd have someone to take the fall with him, so he wouldn't lose out.
Unfortunately, Zhao Youcai could think of the same things he could think of.
Although Zhao Youcai had great faith in the police's abilities and even more confidence in his own reaction speed, what if...?
Under no circumstances should you put yourself in danger. If you know that going there might cause you suffering or even death, why risk your life for thrills?
After Zhu Laoqi was escorted away by the police, the young policeman quickly ran up to Zhao Youcai.
“We’ve caught Zhu Laoqi red-handed. All you need to do is take care of the farm, and we’ll figure out how to get the compensation you need.”
Zhu Laoqi has been scheming for most of his life, and nobody believes that he is really so desperate that he has nothing left.
If he could afford to keep a young secretary as his mistress, who would believe he didn't have some secret stash of money? Who did all those fake accounts? The money that disappeared must have been kept in his possession.
As a victim, Zhao Youcai must receive compensation.
Zhao Youcai shook hands with the young policeman and gestured for his third son to see him out.
After Comrade Han and Comrade Yang from the epidemic prevention station had finished their work, Zhao Youcai invited them to stay for a sumptuous dinner at the breeding farm before seeing them off.
Zhao Youcai knew that he would definitely be dealing with the farm and the disease control station frequently in the future. Maintaining a good relationship wouldn't necessarily bring any benefits, but it certainly wouldn't cause any harm either.
As the old saying goes, it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.
It's impossible to communicate smoothly with the top leaders of the epidemic prevention station every time there are issues at the farm. There are always countermeasures to policies, and people might deliberately keep people away or delay the process. There's nothing anyone can do about it.
In order to ensure that everything the farm does in the future goes smoothly, it is essential to maintain good relationships with the grassroots staff at these disease prevention stations.
After all, top leaders have many important decisions to make every day, and minor details are not within their scope of consideration.
The two colleagues at the epidemic prevention station were treated so well that when they returned to the station, they praised Zhao Youcai and his son to everyone they met.
It is said that the current Factory Director Zhao is a thousand times better than the arrogant Factory Director Zhu of the past. He is a person who is consistent in word and deed, efficient in handling affairs, and very humane.
Only Zhao Youcai, upon learning what Zhu Laoqi had brought, wondered where the substance in Zhu Laoqi's syringe came from.
Logically speaking, most things that can cause an epidemic are related to used daily necessities.
This kind of thing, which can be stored in a syringe, injected into plant stems and leaves, and can make pigs sick immediately after being fed with grain, is definitely not a simple thing.
The country is currently beset by internal and external troubles. I heard that a small country nearby is busy having conflicts with our motherland, and they exchange fire from time to time.
In addition, everyone knows how difficult those past three years were, and Zhao Youcai absolutely does not believe that anyone would be so heartless as to create such messy things when the vast majority of people in the country were starving.
Thinking about everything he had heard about Zhu Laoqi since he met him, Zhao Youcai slapped his thigh.
broken!
Zhao Youcai couldn't sit still any longer. He felt that this matter was far-reaching and needed to be reported immediately.
Zhao Youcai quickly felt his shirt pocket and pulled out a small piece of paper.
This was left for Zhao Youcai by Director Cao of the military region when he came last time, saying that he could call him if there was anything.
The farm's telephone line has just been approved, but it is expected to take another three days before the telephone can be installed.
"Third brother! Let's go to the post office right now!"
