Chapter 176: The Masked Woman Asks Zhong Lin
Zhong Lin also took out his mobile phone, and his call was made to Xiong Jianbiao. However, on the phone, he only said one sentence: "The factory of the island people has been terminated, and it will be done as planned!" After speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Do it according to the plan", although it is only a few words, but it means that Zhong Lin has already planned to directly end the island factory before coming to Qingshui Town, and has already arranged everything! This can't help but make the plum blossom finch and lark surprised, but they have increased their admiration for Zhong Lin a little more!
When the genius was bright, three "teams" came one after another: one was the members of the Huaxia Dragon Group, the Northwest Wolf and the Northeast Tiger, the other was Xiong Jianbiao, Shi Shunli and three other policemen from the Serious Crime Team, and the other was the joint environmental impact assessment team of Southeast City and Dongping City.
Don't look at Honda, it's five big and three thick, but it's an out-and-out soft bone. Zhong Lin was only slightly frightened, and he explained how to open the factory gate. The hooligan Xiaoheng, the distant relative of Xue Xiaojie's family, Lao Liu, and the worker Lao Li and several other workers were finally "rescued". These people have not been allowed to step out of the factory since the village chief Wang of Beiwangzhuang took water samples for testing, and in fact, it is no different from being imprisoned. This time it finally came out, thank Zhong Lin and the others, needless to say, after making a record, they hurried home to report their safety.
After all, seven island nationals were arrested, so the necessary evidence collection work still needs to be done. The joint EIA personnel from the cities of Southeast and Dongping are here to do this work. Of course, all the procedural work was simplified, so it took less than half a day to complete all the forensic work.
After the forensics were completed, with the help of the villagers, the entire factory was completely cleared, leaving only an empty shell factory, two rows of dormitories, and a fence.
The seven islanders were escorted by armed men who arrived later to a secret prison on Boundless Island, where they would spend the rest of their lives......
Everything seems to be going well, except for the groundwater that has been contaminated. Although the "source of pollution" has been eliminated, it is simply impossible to recover the toxin-containing sewage that has been discharged into the ground in a short period of time. Even if Zhong Lin's ability is great, it is useless, which makes Zhong Lin have a headache......
Under the leadership of Village Chief Wang, the simple villagers, whether they had received Zhong Lin's treatment or not, all took out the "rare things" at home and prepared to make a table of "Hundred Family Banquets" to entertain Zhong Lin and others, but Zhong Lin politely declined, and only promised to have a light meal at Village Chief Wang's house.
During the meal, the villagers of Zhonglin Jianyi still have to stay in the mountains for a short time, collect water samples of groundwater at any time, send them to the town for testing, and let the villagers go back to live in the village after the groundwater meets the drinking water standard.
"Little Bell, the inspectors in that town ......"
After Village Chief Wang knew Zhong Lin's real name, he began to affectionately call him "Little Zhong", but when it came to collecting water samples of groundwater at any time and sending them to the town for testing, Village Chief Wang stopped talking.
"Village Chief Wang, don't worry about this, what you are worried about will definitely not happen again in the future. Of course, Zhong Lin knew Village Chief Wang's concerns, so as he spoke, he looked at Xiong Jianbiao sitting beside him. Xiong Jianbiao nodded to him knowingly.
Zhong Lin had already said this, and Village Chief Wang naturally wouldn't doubt it, and tears were about to fall from his eyes with excitement!
And when everyone had just finished eating, Xue Xiaojie walked over to Zhong Lin. She wasn't there during the meal, but went with a few people in the village to find Zhuli and prepared to take them with Zhong Lin.
"Brother Zhong, in the process of looking for Zhuli, we met a strange woman with a veil on her face, and she asked me to hand over this letter to you......"
Xue Xiaojie said as she handed an envelope to Zhong Lin's hand.
Zhong Lin opened the envelope and saw that there was only a thin piece of paper inside, and there was only one sentence on it: Hurry to the Hanging Mountain Pass, there is something important to discuss!
The place where the payment is written is the word "An Yi".
It is said to be a letter, to be exact, it is a note, and the whole content is only a dozen words including the signature. In fact, when Xue Xiaojie talked about the masked woman, a figure immediately appeared in Zhong Lin's mind, yes, that person was the person on the payment - An Yi. That is, the mysterious woman Zhong Lin met in the ten-mile peach forest, but he didn't expect her to appear here......
Zhong Lin turned over and looked at the letter in his hand, and after confirming that he had not missed any information, he looked at Village Chief Wang and said, "Village Chief Wang, take a look at this letter." ”
As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Village Chief Wang.
Village Chief Wang took the letter, only glanced at it, and his face changed. Obviously, he read that short sentence quickly, but it touched him a lot.
"Village Chief Wang, where is the Hanging Mountain? Before I came, I had heard people say, 'Clear water and clear roads are difficult to walk, and Hanging Mountains and Mountains are frightening.'" Is the 'hanging mountain' mentioned in this sentence the 'hanging mountain' mentioned in this letter?"
Seeing that Village Chief Wang just frowned and did not answer, Zhong Lin continued: "The first half of the sentence 'clear water and clear roads are difficult to walk' is very easy to understand, the mountains and rivers in this area of Qingshui Town are beautiful, and whether it is spring water or groundwater, it is very sweet before, but the road is too difficult to walk, nine bends and eighteen bends, some places can indeed be described as 'difficult'! But it has not reached the level of 'ghost and god fright', so the second half of the sentence 'ghost and god fright' should not refer to the road is not difficult to walk, does it mean that the place of 'hanging mountain' is very dangerous?"
Zhong Lin watched the change in the expression on Village Chief Wang's face while analyzing, and he found that Village Chief Wang's face became more and more ugly. After a while, Village Chief Wang finally spoke: "The Hanging Mountain is not far from here, and you can see it when you climb over a mountain, but that place has been listed as a forbidden area by our ancestors for generations, let alone entering the mountain, no one dares to approach even the mountain pass." Animals have gone in, but they have never returned, and they have never come out......"
Village Chief Wang paused, then looked at Zhong Lin and said, "Xiao Zhong, are you really going there?"
Zhong Lin nodded and said, "Since this letter says that there is something important to discuss, then I must go, and since she can go to that place, then I can definitely go too." ”
The reason why Zhong Lin showed the letter to Village Chief Wang was just to ask him to tell him where the hanging mountain was, and as for the "ghosts and gods", he didn't pay attention to it.
"But Brother Zhong, I think that woman is very strange, and she has been covering her face, obviously because she doesn't want people to see her true face! How can a person who dare not show her true face be believed? Who knows if she has any bad intentions......
Xue Xiaojie on the side said with some worry.
"Yes, little bell! Besides, if there is really something important to discuss, you can find another place at will, or come directly to find you to make it clear, why do you have to go to the Hanging Mountain Pass? Xiaojie is right, as the saying goes, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Xiao Zhong, you still have to think more about this matter. Moreover, you just finished the factory of the islanders......"
Village Chief Wang kept frowning, and he even wondered in his heart whether the masked woman had something to do with the islanders, and whether she was taking revenge on Zhong Lin for the matter of the factory, but he didn't say it.
"Village Chief Wang, Xiaojie, you don't have to worry, I know that masked woman, we used to have a relationship before, and we can be regarded as friends. I thought maybe she really had something important to tell me. Zhong Lin saw Village Chief Wang's thoughts, so he said very calmly.
"Brother Zhong, do you really know that masked strange woman? It's just a one-sided relationship, how can you confirm that she is not a bad person? What if, what if she is really a bad person? What if she has a relationship with the people of the island country? What if there is a trap? What if ......" Xue Xiaojie said. As she spoke, when she saw that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes, she realized that she seemed to be a little out of shape because she was too anxious, so she blushed, quickly lowered her head, and didn't continue to speak, otherwise she could find a hundred reasons not to let Zhong Lin go to the appointment, not only because the Hanging Mountain Pass might be dangerous, but most importantly, it was a woman who asked Zhong Lin to go......
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Father Xue's face, and Village Chief Wang's frowning brow unexpectedly relaxed. The two of them looked at Xue Xiaojie and then at Zhong Lin, and then looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Zhong Lin didn't notice this, and then said: "It's okay, Xiaojie, don't worry, I believe she is not a bad person, because the last time we met, she helped me deal with the islanders." Zhong Lin clearly remembered the last time at the auction, the masked woman deliberately inflated the auction price of the thunder split peachwood, so as to slaughter the people of the island. From this point, Zhong Lin could judge that the masked woman would definitely not be in the same group as the islanders.
"Xiao Zhong! Then how do you explain that she has to invite you to meet at the Hanging Mountain Pass? If there is really something important that cannot be said, don't you think this matter is a little strange? Don't you forget the saying 'When things are weird, there must be demons'!" At this moment, Xue Xiaojie's father was like an elder, and his words were full of love to remind Zhong Lin.
Zhong Lin was stunned at first, looking at Father Xue's elder, relative-like loving eyes, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart! Because that kind of look, that kind of tone he had only seen in his grandfather's eyes before, and then it appeared in the eyes of other people's fathers, but those eyes were all looking at their children, not him!
