Chapter 34 The Corpse at the Gate of the Chemical Plant



The person lying on the stretcher was covered with a layer of white cloth, with only his head exposed.

Judging from the pale face and the foul smell coming from it, it must be a dead person.

"It's so fucking depressing. Bringing a dead person here is disgusting." Someone said next to him.

"I don't know what kind of immortal this is, but he's here to cause trouble!"

Everyone was talking at once and pointing fingers at the group.

After breakfast, Zhang Wei also came to watch the fun. Seeing that it was Scarface's subordinate Hu Zi who led people to cause trouble, he panicked and walked away with his back hunched. He hid in the office and did not go out for a long time.

Faced with being driven away by the comrades from the Security Department, the group remained unmoved and continued to play music.

They were all old men and women, and the security comrades didn't dare to really push them.

It was a little after seven in the morning, the sun was high in the sky, and the workers were happily coming to work on their bicycles.

Some of them wore shirts and bell-bottom pants and had the most fashionable hairstyles, while others wore work clothes, plain and unpretentious, but from their cheerful faces and the songs they hummed, one could see their youthful energy.

However, they did not expect that when they arrived at the factory gate one after another, they were blocked by a group of people and were not allowed to enter.

The factory is their second home, how can they allow people to treat it so dirty?

As more and more people came to work at the factory gate, everyone's mood became more and more excited.

Can it still be manipulated by a group of old guys?

A few fearless young workers started arguing with the troublemakers.

After the quarrel breaks out, it becomes clear who is the backbone of the other party.

Hu Zi, who was about thirty years old and had dark skin, asked the old man to stop playing music and began to put forward conditions:

"We are fishermen from the fishing island. Your chemical factory has discharged pollutants and polluted the sea. This woman ate contaminated fish and became ill and died. You must give us an explanation, otherwise we will carry the body to the gate of the district government."

When everyone heard the conditions proposed by the man, they were dumbfounded. They didn't know whether the chemical plant's pollution of marine fish was true or not, but if they reported it to the district government, the factory would be in trouble.

It's a crime to possess a treasure. Who made you a polluting enterprise?

Everyone was at a loss, so the comrades from the Security Department hurried to the building to ask the leadership for instructions.

Soon, Sun Xueyi rushed over with a gloomy face.

He had originally been hiding in the building with no intention of coming out, but after something like this happened, whoever showed up would be in trouble.

But isn’t the Party and Mass Department a place to resolve conflicts among the masses?

Li Weimin asked him to come, so he had to come.

When Sun Xueyi saw Hu Zi, he put on a fake smile and said, "Brother, it's almost eight o'clock. How about we all go to work first? Let's talk about anything."

Hu Zi squinted his eyes at him when he heard this: "You are the person in charge? Can you make the decision?"

A comrade from the Security Department stepped forward and said, "This is our Director Sun. If you have anything to say, please tell him."

Sun Xueyi glanced at him and said, "My superiors have asked me to take charge of this matter. Please move the person aside first and we will talk slowly."

An old man next to Hu Zi, his face darker than soy sauce, whispered in his ear: "Hu Zi, don't listen to them, they must be trying to cheat."

Hu Zi disagreed and responded to Sun Xueyi: "Okay, you can go to work first, but if you don't meet our conditions, I don't know how long you can work this shift!"

Hu Zi ordered his men to carry the stretcher away.

Sun Xueyi asked the security department comrades to evacuate the crowd.

Jian Xiaoxing and Jian Xia were also driven away and did not hear the negotiation process between them.

At noon, Jian Xiaoxing and Jian Xia were eating in the cafeteria. They heard some gossip and learned about the general process.

Hu Zi asked Sun Xueyi to pay 2,000 yuan for funeral expenses.

Sun Xueyi didn't dare to make a decision and went back to ask Li Weimin.

When Li Weimin heard this, he thought that two thousand yuan was not a lot. If he took the matter to the district government, the fine he would get would be more than that. So he thought of settling the matter quietly.

He authorized Sun Xueyi to negotiate and then bargain on this basis.

In the end, Hu Zi and others got 1,500 yuan and left.

Jian Xiaoxing couldn't believe that the factory just gave the money to the troublemakers.

If they report the case, they might end up in jail.

Jian Xia was also angry. Such a big factory was threatened by a few old guys.

Suddenly, she remembered the gangsters she met that night, one of whom looked very similar to Hu Zi.

By chance, Yu Biao passed by her with a lunch box. Without thinking, she stood up from the stool and blocked his way.

"Yu Biao, did you see the farce this morning?"

Yu Biao paused for a moment, then replied with a smile:

"What a pity! I drank too much yesterday and got up a little late today, so I missed it!"

"Don't be so smooth-talking to me. Tell me, do you know Hu Zi, the guy who caused trouble today?"

Jian Xia glared at him angrily.

Jian Xiaoxing didn't know what Jian Xia was up to, and looked at them curiously.

Yu Biao's face gradually darkened, and he asked, "Are you saying that Hu Zi is among the troublemakers? The one we saw that night?"

"It's him!" Jian Xia said firmly.

The more Jian Xiaoxing listened, the more confused he became.

"Xia Xia, what happened between you and Yu Biao? What about that night?"

Jian Xia ignored her and continued to ask Yu Biao: "What is your relationship? Did you instruct him to do this?"

Yu Biao took a step back in fear:

"Jian Xia, please don't wrongly accuse me. Hu Zi and I knew each other when we were kids, and we haven't had a drink together since we grew up."

Yu Biao's hometown is on the fishing island. His grandfather's generation was very familiar with the area, but after his grandparents passed away, his family moved to the development zone and no longer made a living by fishing.

"Where was that scarface guy that night?" The scene of that night flashed through Jian Xia's mind.

"You're talking about Scar Brother. He's probably in the underworld now! We were friends when we were kids, but now we're grown up and have different ideals."

Combining what he heard from other colleagues, Yu Biao knew that the people who caused trouble this morning were the indigenous people of the fishing island who were organized by Hu Zi. As for whether the boss behind the scenes was Scarface, it was unknown.

However, a few years ago, the district government issued a fishing ban order, prohibiting fishing for three months in the summer. The claim that people will get sick and die from eating polluted sea fish is debatable.

Thinking of this, in order to get rid of Jian Xia's questioning, he also said it.

While Jian Xia was confused, he quickly slipped away.

Jian Xiaoxing took their words to heart.

When she got to work in the afternoon, she went to find Sun Xueyi and told him that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and there must be someone behind the scenes doing something bad.

Sun Xueyi played with a pen in his hand and listened to her carefully with a smile on his face.

"Comrade Xiaoxing, it's certainly good to be concerned about the safety of the factory, but the leadership has already made a decision on this matter, so please don't meddle in other people's business. For the next month, you should focus on organizing sports competitions!"

This sentence choked her back.

Not only did she fail to persuade Sun Xueyi, she also got herself a job.
