Chapter 199 Sorrow



Yu Sui nodded.

In fact, she had just received the news from Yu Hemiao, and she had thought about this before.

but……

"If it was just the sellers who did it, wouldn't the police be able to find out? But I heard that the manufacturer was shut down, but have you seen any food supply and marketing cooperatives closed down? So, you can't just say it's a sales problem."

After Yu Sui finished speaking, Ma Yingxiong laughed awkwardly: "Well! Things like this always... How should I put it, can't the county police be lazy?"

This statement is not fair.

After all, it is a matter of human life. Even if the police from the Public Security Bureau want to be lazy, they will not do it in such a matter.

Of course, it was just a random guess for an unrelated person like Ma Yingxiong, but Yu Sui was very clear-headed and would not casually deny the work of the police officer.

However, from Ma Yingxiong's speculation, Yu Sui also confirmed a fact that the last rat poison incident indeed only affected three people.

But as far as Yu Sui knew, if the collective-run factory worked at full capacity, it could produce one kilogram of crispy candies a day. One piece of candy weighed about five grams, so one kilogram was 20,000 pieces of candy.

Twenty thousand candies, and only three people are affected in the end. This probability is still very small.

Under what circumstances would the impact be so small?

As Ma Yingxiong asked, it can only happen when the product is sold. But more strictly speaking, it can only happen when the product is already produced and sold.

The assembly line and production safety requirements of the collective factory were designed by Yu Sui, so she clearly remembers that the production processes of material preparation, ingredient mixing, candy making, and packaging were completely separate.

In order to keep the recipe secret and to preserve Yu Hemiao's status as a community-run factory, Yu Sui only taught Yu Hemiao how to prepare and mix the raw materials for the crispy candy.

Candy making must ensure hygiene and craftsmanship. When Yu Sui left, she handed it over to Tang Zhaodi, because Tang Zhaodi cared very much about this job and would not allow any defects in the products.

When Yu Hemiao wrote to Yu Sui, she said that she and Tang Zhaodi had both been interrogated by the Public Security Bureau and finally returned home without any problem.

So if there is a problem, it can only be the final packaging and sales.

But since the supply and marketing cooperative was not affected at all, and Zhang Caifeng was detained instead, it only proves that the packaging process of the crispy candy could not be closed during the police's interrogation.

The problem must be in the packaging.

Yu Sui sighed secretly.

Packaging is really hard to describe.

Because the packaging work is easy, the factory assigns it to a few old men and women. These old men and women are all temporary workers. They come early on the day when their families are not busy, and may not come tomorrow if they feel dizzy. These old men and women may even finish their work halfway and sneak back home.

Therefore, it is often difficult to determine who caused the trouble.

Maybe this is the reason why the Public Security Bureau has not found the truth after investigating for so long.

If this is really the reason, how should she solve the problem and get Zhang Caifeng out?

Yu Sui thought about it all the way and arrived at the Dongfeng Brigade at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Trucks can only park at the entrance of the brigade office, and there is no road to go further inside.

Ma Yingxiong actively helped Yu Sui carry her luggage: "Sister-in-law, I'll take you back. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to carry these things by yourself."

Yu Sui: "I'd really appreciate if you could take the things back for me, but I want to meet our brigade secretary first, Secretary Zou, who rode in your car last time."

Ma Yingxiong teased, "Oh, my sister-in-law is really polite. She just came home and she wants to go to see the leader first?"

Yu Sui: "Haha, it's not really an audience, I have something to do. Master Ma, do you know where the factory with the rat poison problem we were just talking about is located?"

"I don't know!"

"It's from here. It's run by our production team."

“Ouch!”

Ma Yingxiong exclaimed, and just when Yu Sui thought he would say something scary, he leaned close to Yu Sui and asked in a low voice, "Hey, can you still make that candy secretly here? If you can, I want to buy some to take back to my grandma."

Yu Sui: “…” What a loyal fan!

This person, isn't he afraid?

Yu Sui thought so and asked, "Aren't you afraid of the rat poison incident?"

Ma Yingxiong spread his hands and said, "Let me ask you, have you ever heard of a food vendor deliberately putting rat poison in the food to kill their customers? That hasn't happened since ancient times, has it? If I were to ask you, what happened at your factory, I'd say it was probably done intentionally. People like that will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

Yu Sui smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust. How about this? I just got back and don't know the current situation of the factory yet. If this product is available in the future, I will help you deliver it."

"Thank you so much. You have to keep an eye on her for me. My grandma is over 80 years old. How long does she have left to live? If she could eat again, she would be so happy."

"OK."

Yu Sui asked Ma Yingxiong to help send the things back home, and she walked into the brigade headquarters.

There are only two offices in the brigade headquarters, one for the secretary and the other for other cadres to use.

When Yu Sui walked over, Secretary Zou's door was open. She could see him sitting behind an old desk writing something. After writing a few words, he would pick up a cigarette and take a few puffs, and the whole office was filled with smoke.

I don’t know if it’s Yu Sui’s illusion, but looking at Secretary Zou in the smoke, it feels like we’ve only not seen each other for a few months, but Secretary Zou has aged a lot.

Yu Sui knocked on the door.

Secretary Zou didn't even look up. He just said, "Don't bother me. I don't care about this matter. I can't do anything about it!"

Yu Sui had no choice but to speak: "Secretary Zou, I didn't come to bother you, I just brought you some red sausage from the north."

Secretary Zou looked up immediately and saw that it was Yu Sui. He then said, "Oh, it's you, Yu Sui. Are you back from the north?"

"Yes, I just got home. No, no, I haven't gotten home yet. I came to see you first."

"Oh, you are so polite. Come in and sit down."

Yu Sui put the sausage on Secretary Zou's desk and walked over to sit in the chair opposite him.

Looking closely at this old rural secretary, he is indeed darker, thinner, and has more wrinkles than when he left in the winter.

Yu Sui didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Secretary, I already know about the collapse of the collective-run factory. To be honest, I was going to stay in the north for a few more days, but when I heard the news, I was very sad, so I came back. I wanted to ask you first, how is Zhang Caifeng doing now?"

Across the desk, Secretary Zou looked at her, frowned, and smoked his cigarette one after another without saying a word.

The smoke grew thicker.

Yu Suixian was not used to it, so she covered her mouth and coughed.

"Alas!" Secretary Zou sighed heavily and put out his cigarette:

"I'm worried! I don't want to talk about it. But you're more clear-headed than the dogs in our group, the dogs in the brigade, and the people in the group, so I'll tell you."
