Be in low spirits
Chapter 59 The Many Faces of the Villain
He took the thermos cup and filled some hot water from the water purifier, saying, "Futian is a man with a miserable life."
"The family conditions were not good to begin with, and his parents passed away early, so he lived with his grandparents since he was young. He finally got married, and thought he could live a peaceful life. But the child was diagnosed with a disease soon after he was born, and I heard it would cost millions to cure him." The village party secretary took a sip of hot tea and continued, "But this child is usually very honest. I don't know why he hurt someone this time."
Li Li nodded thoughtfully. He felt that Jia Futian's behavior of hurting people might be related to the illness his daughter was diagnosed with, and perhaps the cause was the sewage discharge from the paper mill.
"Secretary, do you know if he has been in close contact with anyone recently? Or has he had any unusual behavior?" Li Li asked.
The village party secretary shook his head. "I didn't notice that, but I heard that he often went to the temple on the mountain some time ago. I wonder if he met someone there."
Li Li's heart moved and he decided to go to the temple on the mountain to see if he could find some clues. He asked about the location of the temple on the mountain and took Kong Zhixi to Jia Futian's house. The village committee secretary looked at the backs of the two people, took out his mobile phone, and went out to make a call.
Jia Futian's home was a bungalow. His wife was washing clothes and the child was watching TV on the coffee table in the living room. Seeing someone coming, she took a basin of water and was about to throw it out. Kong Zhixi pulled Li Li away and asked, "Auntie, do you know Jia Futian?"
"I don't know him. You can go away." The aunt denied it without even looking at him.
Kong Zhixi walked up to her and said, "We are here to help him. If you know him, can you tell us who he met on the mountain?"
"Go, go, go, I don't know him!" He pushed Kong Zhixi, and Li Li stopped her from falling. "If you don't think about him, you should think about the child. We are here to help him. Can we talk?"
The aunt was stunned for a moment, her eyes drooped, and she said as she walked in, "Come in." The two looked at each other and followed her into the living room.
Li Li said, "The village party secretary said that he went to the temple on the mountain to meet someone before he hurt someone. Do you know?"
"I know. Ever since the child fell ill, he has been running there from time to time, saying that he was going to pray to the gods, but in fact he was going to see the monks on the mountain." The aunt's face was full of fatigue, but she still had to entertain the child.
Kong Zhixi looked around and asked, "Is there no one else at home?"
The aunt looked at the child and said, "No, Futian's parents died early, and his grandparents also passed away. After I married him, I only had this daughter."
Kong Zhixi also looked at the child and asked, "What's wrong with the child?"
"The doctor said it was leukemia. Not to mention how much it would cost to treat the disease, just finding a match is difficult enough." It was obvious that the woman was also helpless.
"Is it because of this that Futian went to the paper mill to cause trouble?" Li Li knew that the two incidents must be related.
"Yes, he didn't discuss it with me. He was originally an employee of the paper mill, but later he had a conflict with the factory leaders, so he quit."
Kong Zhixi spoke first: "He worked in the factory? Did he know the injured Pan Xiangjin?"
"I know him. I used to have dinner at his house. I was fired because of a conflict with him..."
Li Li felt that he had asked enough questions, so he said, "If he contacts you, please contact us as soon as possible."
After the two came out of Jia Futian's house, they analyzed the situation for a while and thought that Pan Xiangjin must have something to hide for hiding the previous facts. After discussing it, they decided to go back to the village party secretary to find out more about the situation.
When they returned to the village committee office, the people in the office looked at each other in bewilderment. The person who had greeted them pulled them out and asked in a low voice: "Why are you back again?"
Li Li has always felt that there is something wrong with this village committee, but he couldn't tell exactly what the problem was. He pulled the young man out of the village committee and discussed with him: "Young man, can we talk to you about this village?"
The young man waved his hand and refused without thinking: "You guys go back, the village party secretary will be back soon." Under the scorching sun, Kong Zhixi and Li Li sighed and followed the young man back to the village committee office. Li Li said behind him: "Then we will wait for the secretary to come back."
The village party secretary was surprised to see the two people coming back. He sat down quickly and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't asked clearly?" Then he called the young man and said, "Xiao Zhao, hurry up and pour some tea. Look at you, you don't even know how to greet people."
Li Li stopped him, looked at his watch, and said, "Secretary Zhao, no need to greet him, let's just ask him directly." The secretary then said to Zhao, "Hey, come on, come on, don't fall down. Ask, ask."
“Regarding the issue of pollution from the paper mill, has the village conducted any investigation?”
"Well... I've talked to someone from the Environmental Protection Bureau before, and they said they wanted the paper mill to issue a third-party inspection report, and they did. Oh, by the way, Xiao Zhao, do you have a scanned copy of the report? Come on, show it to Captain Li." Before he finished speaking, he asked someone to bring out the report, but Captain Li stopped him and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant is, aren't there other departments or people conducting a special investigation?"
"Other departments?... Let me think about it... The Urban Management Bureau has also gone to negotiate before, um... Later, it seems that the Women's Federation also reported this problem, and we also went to the Environmental Protection Bureau to report it to them. Later, the Environmental Protection Bureau looked at the inspection report and said that they had also visited the site and raised some issues for rectification. Then the paper mill said that the rectification had been carried out. The people from the Environmental Protection Bureau told us that the problem had been solved, so we regarded it as a problem solved." He stared with his eyes dazed and took a sip of tea in the thermos.
"That means no one has followed up on this issue, right? Is it possible that Jia Futian's daughter's illness is directly related to the pollution?"
Secretary Zhao glanced at the recorder in Kong Zhixi's hand and smiled awkwardly. "Well... I'm not a doctor either. I can't say that. If you say that, how many children in the village will get this disease? It's not good to say that casually."
Li Li also glanced at Kong Zhixi, then turned off the recorder and said, "We just want to learn more about the real situation. Secretary Zhao, don't worry."
Kong Zhixi quietly took the recorder from him again, put it in her pocket, and quietly opened it. Secretary Zhao obviously saw through his thoughts and continued to argue: "Captain Li, whether the paper mill is polluting or not, our village committee can only listen to the relevant departments. If you think there is a problem, I think you should ask the Environmental Protection Bureau, they may be more professional."
Li Li also knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, but what he wanted to know was whether there was any interest connection between the village committee and the paper mill. "I wonder if Secretary Zhao can recommend someone from the paper mill?"
"Oh, then wait a minute. I'll see if I can contact their Director Guo." With that, Secretary Zhao went out and made a long phone call. Little Zhao would look in the direction he went out from time to time.
"Well, I just called their Director Guo, but he said he had a meeting in the city today and won't be back until tomorrow. So, I'll give you his phone number and you can contact him directly to make an appointment, okay?" Secretary Zhao said to the two of them after he finished the call, and wrote the phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to Li Li.
Li Li took the phone and said goodbye to them. Before leaving, he specifically said to Xiao Zhao: "Xiao Zhao, we are going back first." After the two left, Secretary Zhao looked at Xiao Zhao and asked: "What does it mean that Captain Li came back again?"
Xiao Zhao laughed dryly: "How would I know?"
Kong Zhixi asked Li Li in the car: "This village committee is probably in cahoots with the people from the paper mill, but what does this have to do with Pan Xiangjin being beaten?"
"The evil forces are far more powerful than we imagined. Just think about it, the paper mill, the school, and the Shu Botian case are all related. How much power does the person behind this have?"
