Just when Yang Xiao sank his body into the deep pool of the mountain forest, he didn't know that a week had passed since the laboratory accident occurred.
At the entrance of the Shiguan Road Police Station in Chengbei District, Chongshan City, there was a buzz of people. Dozens of media from all walks of life surrounded the deputy director of the police station with microphones like spears and sticks, hoping to get the first-hand information they were eager to know.
"Zhang Suo, please tell me, there is a rumor on the Internet that the death toll in this laboratory accident has exceeded 20 people. Is this true?"
"Zhang Suo, I am Chen Yun'er, a reporter from Fengtian Media. In this incident, two police officers were killed and more than seven police officers were injured. Do you have anything to say?"
"Zhang Office, Zhang Office, it has been nearly a week since the accident occurred. At present, there is still no official statement. Online public opinion has been fermenting. Regarding the handling of the case, can you disclose some progress?"
"..."
Faced with so much media bombardment, Deputy Director Zhang has gained rich experience after several days of training.
He raised his hands to signal everyone to quiet down.
"Friends from the media, please be quiet. You are all talking like this. I can't answer whether you are right or not. Please be quiet. The follow-up processing of this incident is being carried out in an orderly manner. However, regarding the progress of the case, according to work discipline , I can’t disclose it here. However, everyone is welcome to pay attention to our Tianxin public account. The QR code is on the left side of the door. You can scan the code to add it. After approval by superiors, we will disclose it to everyone as soon as possible. At the same time, regarding various spoof videos and false information posted by netizens on the Internet, please pay attention to the Tianxin National Anti-Fraud APP in a timely manner and never be deceived. Okay, I have a meeting later, so I’ll be here today. Goodbye.”
After that, he adjusted his hat and left quickly.
These guys are like cats that smell fishy smell. They squat here every day without getting tired.
But according to the regulations, I have to deal with them once a day.
Since the laboratory accident occurred in the jurisdiction, and the strange thing later rushed out of the university and caused casualties, Director Huang and Director Li were almost admitted to the Municipal Public Security Bureau in the past few days.
This kind of matter of dealing with the media naturally falls on him, the deputy director.
Back in the office, a visitor had been waiting for a long time.
"Director Zhang, you are finally back."
Ye Shan, who has silver hair and meticulous temperament, has a capable temperament. The passage of time seems to have taken away her youth, but it has also accumulated taste and elegance, retaining her temperament and connotation.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Director Ye." Hualing Pharmaceutical Group is a major taxpayer in this city. As the chairman, Ye Shan has been a prominent figure in Chongshan City in the past few years. However, in the past few years, as he got older, Then he gradually retreated.
Although she is over sixty years old, with gray hair and wrinkles on her face, the strong woman in front of her looks very young, her figure is still in good shape, and she does not look old at all. A simple and neat black jacket without too many modifications, paired with elegant wide-leg pants. The color is classic black, white and gray. It does not pretend to be young or old-fashioned, and shows the elegance of an intellectual woman.
"I am very sorry to inform you that after repeated confirmation, Professor Yang is indeed included in the list of victims. Please express my condolences."
"Well, there's nothing to be sad about. If you live to my age, you've already looked away from such trivial matters as life and death." Ye Shan's expression hardly changed at all. He just put his right hand in front of him and subconsciously touched the diamond. I've been wearing a ring for a few years.
After a pause, she asked: "Where is the body? Has it been disposed of?" There is no one else in the old man's family but her ex-wife. Even if it is the last thing for him, she should help him bury him in peace.
"Please understand that the body has been rendered harmless due to a laboratory accident. As for Mr. Yang Xiao's legacy, all of it will be left to you to handle according to his will, which is stored in the university archives."
"Yes, I understand, Zhang Suo, I'm in trouble."
Standing up, Ye Shan nodded, his back still upright as he turned to leave.
When she arrived at the underground garage, she suddenly realized that her eyes were red at some point.
"What a damn bastard, you just left me and went alone." Cursing in a low voice, she threw her handbag angrily, took off the ring in her hand, and was about to throw it away.
But then, Ye Shan stopped.
They have been divorced for three years, but she has never taken off the wedding ring, just because she can't forget this relationship.
However, the old man who originally put this ring on her is no longer here. The man who would pick up food for her, the man who would smile at her and always tolerate her, would eventually leave this world one step ahead of her.
After picking up the bag and getting in the car, Ye Shan suddenly felt that he was overwhelmed by sadness.
Damn bastard, what should I do if you leave?
... ...
In the deep mountains and old forests of southwestern S Province, the State Forestry Administration has established a number of protected areas for wild rare animals and plants.
Years of ecological protection have allowed countless rare and rare animals to grow in these inaccessible areas. Close to these protected areas, some priceless herbal medicines also grow.
Therefore, in the mountains and forests, there has been a special profession for many years, namely, medicinal collectors.
They went through countless hardships, overcame various difficult environments, and searched through dangerous mountains and forests just to find those precious herbs.
This is a hard-earned meal, and not everyone can eat it.
Every year, people disappear deep in the mountains.
Some died from the miasma of poisonous insects, and some were attacked by wild beasts. There was even a shocking incident in which an expedition team of twenty people completely disappeared.
The primitive mountain forests are not friendly to humans.
However, huge efforts sometimes bring enviable good fortune to herb collectors.
Sometimes, we find a rare herb that has long been extinct in the outside world. As long as you mark the location and report it to the State Forestry Administration, you can receive very generous rewards.
Of course, there are also people who are not afraid of severe punishment, poaching it and selling it directly on the black market, which can also be exchanged for astonishing wealth.
Luo Xiaolong, who is in his early twenties, is such a mountain herb collector walking in a gray area.
His ancestors have lived in villages outside this mountain forest for generations, and he has been living in the mountains since he was ten years old.
He doesn't like studying, and he doesn't envy big cities. After graduating from high school, he prefers the freedom in the mountains and forests.
The mountains and forests, which are full of fatal dangers for outsiders, are controlled by him. Returning to the mountains and forests, it feels like returning home.
At noon tomorrow, the medicinal material company will come to collect the medicinal herbs, and Luo Xiaolong decided to try his luck in the mountains today.
Because his biological sister Luo Yanling was admitted to the Polytechnic University in J City not long ago, and it will cost a lot of tuition to report in a week.
Although he was not interested in girls learning about mechanical automation from Laosazi, his responsibility as an older brother still made him feel that he should do more for his sister.
Luo Xiaolong, who has never had any idea about money, has known for a long time that there are treasures in the mountains.
Sometimes, some strange faces that come to the village are always mysterious. He knew that some of them were secretly selling rare medicinal herbs, and some were even trading protected animals prohibited by state orders.
The public security organs have been vigorously cracking down on illegal crimes in this area every year, with remarkable results.
However, this kind of illegal and criminal behavior is always prohibited. After all, money is attractive and the benefits are too great.
After walking into the mountains for more than three hours, Luo Xiaolong also had some sweat stains on his back. He found a shady spot and after careful inspection, he decided to take a drink of water and take a rest.
He has been exploring this mountain forest for so many years, and he is already very familiar with many places.
His destination is about five kilometers away from here, which is a hidden mountain stream.
Several years ago, Luo Xiaolong accidentally discovered that there was a deep pool of clear water with a diameter of more than thirty meters under the mountain stream. At that time, out of curiosity, he tested the depth of the pool. As a result, the fifty meters of rope he brought were all used up and he did not explore the bottom, which surprised him for a moment.
This time, I went to the deep pool again, but it was for the nest of fleshy Ganoderma lucidum next to the pool.
I remember that a few years ago, someone in the village collected similar Ganoderma lucidum, but it was bought by a medicinal company for a high price of 20,000 yuan.
Later, the public security organs came to investigate for a period of time and arrested several people.
This nest of fleshy Ganoderma lucidum that I discovered was several levels better in terms of size and appearance. If it is really sold on the black market, my sister's four-year college tuition will definitely be paid, and she can also buy more new clothes.
Luo Xiaolong was a little confused. If he reported it to the State Forestry Administration, he could also get a bonus of several thousand yuan. However, the on-site certification and bonus application process would take a week, and he was worried that he would not be able to catch up with his sister's report at school.
The key point is that the difference between tens of thousands and thousands is too big.
Forget it, stop thinking about it. For such a long time, he was not sure whether the Ganoderma lucidum was still there.
It's bad luck, and it won't be good if it is eaten by other small animals.
After resting for a while, Luo Xiaolong continued walking towards his destination. Due to some distractions, he didn't notice that there were two figures following him strangely some distance behind him.
After five kilometers and a full hour of walking up and down the mountain, Luo Xiaolong finally came to the deep clear water pool.
This place has gone deep into the mountains, and the surrounding area is inaccessible and primitive and desolate. The mountain stream is hidden in the jungle among the mountains. It is very hidden. Without someone to guide it, it is difficult to find it. After passing through the thick ancient vines, there is a world of its own.
Luo Xiaolong, who was about to breathe a sigh of relief, was suddenly stunned because he soon discovered that there were traces of large carnivores appearing here!
Beside the deep pool of clear water, there were actually many animal remains.
In other words, the fleshy Ganoderma lucidum was most likely picked by someone, and he was too late! Luo Xiaolong, whose breathing became rapid and his heartbeat accelerated, quickly stepped forward to investigate.
What a tragedy, what a waste of time.
