Chapter 66: The Spirit of Journalism
In any case, the Changzhou meeting was finally served in a pot, which made Cang Hao let out a long breath.
Maybe someone will investigate the truth, and if there is any trouble, they will talk about it later, Cang Hao is too lazy to think about it now.
What Cang Hao didn't expect was that someone did start investigating the truth about the Changzhou Meeting, but it was not the intelligence department of a certain country, but a reporter, or a reporter that Cang Hao knew.
Chen Meiyun, a brick of Guangsha Satellite TV, moved where needed, was originally a reporter for the International Department, and was often sent to cover gossip news, and occasionally to cover police operations.
As soon as the Changzhou Society fell, Chen Meiyun took two assistants to Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, don't wonder why they are moving so fast, over the years, the Chinese news media have shown a characteristic, that is, no matter what disasters and difficulties abroad, they will definitely rush to the scene in time to report, so that everyone believes that foreign people are living a miserable life.
Speaking of which, Chen Meiyun is really suitable for this profession, not only proficient in English, Japanese, French, but also many local dialects in China.
It's a pity that although Chen Meiyun's action is fast, it is useless, and the surrounding area of Changzhou Pharmaceutical has been blocked by the police, pulling a long cordon.
As soon as Chen Meiyun and her assistant approached, they were politely stopped by the Dongying police: "I'm sorry, no interviews are allowed here!"
Chen Meiyun took her assistant around the cordon, trying to find a chance to sneak in, but she didn't expect that the Dongying police were strictly guarded, and they couldn't find a gap at all.
There was no way, Chen Meiyun had to take a few shots from afar, and then helplessly told the domestic side: "The details need to be further understood......
Since there was no news to interview, Chen Meiyun planned to leave, and as soon as she turned around, she met two foreigners.
These two foreigners are also reporters, and unlike Chen Meiyun, they came to Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture a few days ago, and they originally had other interview missions, but they didn't expect to encounter a terrorist attack.
Among them, there is a foreigner, Chen Meiyun still knows, is a reporter from the British BBC, Chen Meiyun and he once interviewed together in country M.
"Hey, hello, Chen. This BBC reporter's name is Daniel, and after seeing Chen Meiyun, he came over and shook hands very warmly: "I really didn't expect to meet you here across half the world." ”
"You're here to cover the terrorist attack too?"
"Of course not. Daniel said helplessly: "Originally, we came for other work, but I didn't expect this to happen, and I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky." ”
Chen Meiyun asked casually, "Did you find anything?"
When Daniel heard this, his expression was a little unnatural: "Do you want to say that you found it......"
Journalists often inquire about each other's news, and it is still very convenient to collect information through the circle of friends, and the same is true for journalists from different countries.
Chen Meiyun has professional sensitivity and is keenly aware that Daniel knows some things that she doesn't know.
"Daniel, last time I said goodbye to Washington, I really missed you......" Chen Meiyun said with a smile: "Let's have a chance to drink two glasses together." ”
"I know you're trying to get news from me. Hehe smiled, and Daniel lowered his voice: "Okay, Chen, for your beauty, we can share some information." ”
Chen Meiyun immediately asked, "What did you find?"
Daniel stopped talking, looked around, made sure there was no one else, and said, "Come with me." ”
Daniel seemed very uneasy, took Chen Meiyun to a corner, and made sure that there was no one around, and then told Chen Meiyun: "After I just found out about the terrorist attack, I rushed directly into the factory of Changzhou Pharmaceutical and took a lot of photos. At that time, the Dongying police had not yet arrived, so there was no way to stop me. ”
"And then?"
"Then, before the Dongying police arrived, I ran out of the factory. Daniel said, took out his mobile phone, and pulled up the photo album: "If the Dongying police know, they will definitely ask me to delete the photos." ”
Daniel took hundreds of photographs of the tragic situation after the destruction of Choshu Pharmaceutical, only to see wreckage everywhere, all kinds of equipment scattered everywhere, and of course, many corpses.
From these photos, Chen Meiyun can't see any fame, and her intuition is still good as a news picture.
Daniel looked at Chen Meiyun's expression: "You...... Didn't see any problems?"
Chen Meiyun smiled: "It's too hard for you to take these photos." ”
"No, no, Chen, you didn't find the problem...... "Daniel sighed, and said, "However, it's not your fault, you didn't study medicine." ”
"Have you studied?"
"I studied medicine at City College. Smirking smugly, Daniel immediately became very serious: "So I found a very strange phenomenon from these photos. ”
Chen Meiyun was very curious: "What?"
"Look......" Daniel pulled up several photographs, which were still full of debris and wreckage, one of which was all broken glass.
The photo is a bit blurry, and it looks like it was taken from a long distance, and Chen Meiyun still can't see anything wrong anyway.
Daniel explained directly to Chen Meiyun: "These are viral petri dishes. ”
"Yes. Chen Meiyun didn't understand these at all, and felt that it was just some jars made of glass: "This is a pharmaceutical company, and it is normal to cultivate viruses for experiments." ”
"No, it's not normal at all, because there are so many of them, but there aren't many equipment to make vaccines. Daniel said, his expression began to become a little anxious: "I can understand that pharmaceutical companies are cultivating a small number of viruses for research needs. But why are there so many viral petri dishes here, and more importantly, I also found a large number of other culture equipment. These devices can extract and dry the virus to make a virus preparation......"
Chen Meiyun immediately understood: "You mean...... They produce chemical and biological weapons here?"
"There is a possibility ...... this," Daniel said, his voice lowered: "Choshu Pharmaceutical, a very well-known company, did not long after the outbreak of the Super Black Death in Southeast Asia, and they quickly announced the successful development of a vaccine. It's amazing, don't you think there's a problem?"
"There is indeed a problem. ”
"So, I have some speculations......" Daniel took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "The Super Black Death was developed by Choshu Pharmaceutical itself, and then they took out the vaccine and made their own spear and shield." ”
"But what is the purpose of what they are doing this?" Before Daniel could answer, Chen Meiyun had already found the answer: "By providing vaccines to countries, they have gained huge political favors in these countries, and these countries will gladly comply with any request they make." When they escalate the virus and pose a more serious threat, they can take the vaccine out and sell it at a high price. ”
"You are very imaginative, but I have to admit that this speculation is likely to be the truth of the incident......" At this point, Daniel took another deep breath: "Listen, Chen, what we have come into contact with this time may be an unprecedented evil. As journalists, it is necessary for us to dig up the truth and make it public. ”
Hearing these words, Chen Meiyun understood what Daniel meant, once this incident is reported, although it is headline, it also contains huge risks.
It is conceivable that the relevant personnel may stop at all costs, and Daniel feels this threat, so he hopes to act with Chen Meiyun.
In other words, Daniel doesn't intend to monopolize the news, which is why he took out the photos.
For the first time in her life, Chen Meiyun felt that as a journalist, she was burdened with a heavy responsibility: "We are journalists, and our spirit is to report the truth......
Daniel hurriedly nodded: "Yes!"
"What's next?"
"That's what I thought...... Daniel really wanted to share the news with Chen Meiyun, and had already envisioned a plan of action: "Because I have studied medicine, I can judge from a professional point of view, so I stayed here at the scene of the attack and saw what I could find." You go and interview the surrounding residents and ask them how much they know about this pharmaceutical factory, and what they might find. ”
As soon as Daniel's voice fell, before Chen Meiyun could speak, there was a noise not far away.
It was several Dongying policemen who came over and asked Chen Meiyun's assistant to show his documents, and Chen Meiyun's assistant was a little impatient and shouted a few words.
The quality of the Dongying police is very good, and they are always polite, but their attitude is not to be refused, and their words and demeanor are quite threatening.
Daniel reminded, "Did you notice that the atmosphere here is a little weird?"
Chen Meiyun looked around and saw police everywhere: "This vigilance measure is too strict, right?"
"The last time the Red Army attacked Changzhou Pharmaceutical, I also came, and the Dongying police were very polite and fully cooperated with our interview. After a pause, Daniel continued: "This time, their attitude is completely different, as long as we get a little closer to Choshu Pharmaceutical, we will be immediately stopped by them. ”
Chen Meiyun immediately proposed: "Give me the photo in your mobile phone, and then we will go our separate ways." ”
"Good. Daniel quickly sent the photo to Chen Meiyun, and then the two separated, just like Daniel designed, he himself stayed in Changzhou Pharmaceutical, and Chen Meiyun went to the residential area.
The location of Changzhou Pharmaceutical is very remote, and it is also some distance away from the nearest residential area, and after Chen Meiyun arrived at the residential area, she pretended to be a tourist and asked around, and obtained some information.
It can be said that the residents of Hagi City as a whole do not know about Choshu Pharmaceutical, because this company is usually too mysterious.
Residents told Chen Meiyun that as long as they got a little close to Changzhou Pharmaceutical, strangers would stop and interrogate them.
These strangers are not local, no one knows them, and they appear to be armed with them.
Those people from Choshu Pharmaceutical rarely go out, have little contact with local residents, and don't even come out to buy daily necessities.
Everything they need for daily life is transported by truck after hitting the purchase, and some people in the surrounding area have transported goods to them twice, which gives them a glimpse of the interior of Choshu Pharmaceutical.
