When the smell in the room dissipated a little, Zhang Ruiming couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach, squinted his eyes, and slowly approached the room, even if he covered his mouth and nose, there was still a strong smell that rushed straight to his head and nose, and it smelled like industrial waste liquid! When he walked to the front, there was no decoration or other furniture in this house, only a newly built cement pool, which was one square size, and it didn't look deep, only about half a meter. Inside is a water pipe, buried in the ground and I don't know where it leads, and the bottom of the cement pond is full of mud after the liquid has dried up, which is supposed to be left behind after the waste liquid was dumped.

Zhang Ruiming couldn't stand the pungent stench after looking at it, he was already a little dizzy from the smoke, and hurriedly retreated. Hiding more than ten meters away, taking a few deep breaths before finally relieving himself, Zhang Liang, who had been hiding in the distance due to the stench, hurried up and asked, "How is it? Section chief? Is it here?"

Zhang Ruiming took two breaths, bent over, and finally came back to his senses, he barely squeezed out a smile, and said to Zhang Liang: "Don't ask, hurry up and notify the Environmental Protection Bureau and the local village committee to come over, this is it!"

…………

Zhang Ruiming was stunned for a moment, worried that he had rushed in single-handedly in front of him and had come into close contact with the waste, and that he would go to the hospital tomorrow to do an examination at his own expense. But looking at the chaotic situation next to him, he shook his head again, it is estimated that there will be no time tomorrow, this case has now reached a critical stage, and it is estimated that some of them are busy.

Zhang Liang called the number of the township office and asked them to contact the village, but after waiting for a long time, they still did not see the figure of the village cadres, and there was a large group of nearby villagers around the scene to watch the excitement, with children, holding rice bowls, just like a temple fair, watching so many cars and people in and out, I felt novel, and I couldn't imagine what kind of impact this incident would have on their lives and their future generations.

There were also a few villagers who had been surrounding Zhang Ruiming and the staff of the Environmental Protection Bureau, handing out cigarettes, water, and sets, but when I asked them what their identities were, and who the owner of the house was, they refused to tell them, and they didn't know if they were village committee officials or nearby residents who wanted to cover up the pollution.

After the environmental protection bureau supervision brigade finished sampling and taking pictures, it was already sunset, the environmental protection bureau came to a deputy director, what is the name Zhang Ruiming did not remember, it seems to be surnamed Tian, as soon as he came to direct the investigation and cleanup, and did not pay much attention to the prosecutors, more than a dozen young people in the supervision brigade are busy along the sewage pipe to check the whereabouts of pollutants, more people are easy to do, and it is easy to find out that the water pipe in the cement pool is connected to the sewage canal in the village, and it can be connected to the Jingsha River along the sewage canal, and the cause of the large-scale fish death incident in the Jingsha River a few days ago is also clear at this time- It should have been the morning of the same day, and a large tanker truck had discharged the industrial waste water from this place.

"These bastards!" Zhang Ruiming scolded hatefully.

Zhang Liang suddenly thought of something, and said strangely: "No! If it is really directly connected to the sewage canal in the village, then it will not pass through their own fields in the village...... Since even the citrus trees next to it will die, won't all the fields in these villages be killed by this sewage?

Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly, seeing this situation, he already had a seventy percent grasp of the bottom line of this case, and said slowly: "Maybe the owner of this hut is from this village, and every household has collected a "sewage fee"." ”

"How come?!" Zhang Liang couldn't accept this fact, she couldn't understand why someone would sell her family's green mountains and rivers like this, why they didn't even protect the land and rivers near their home...... Aren't they worried about their children's health......"

"This matter is still inconclusive, I am just guessing, and you don't know how dark the human heart is in front of interests...... Forget it, the main task now is to find out who is the person who contracted this citrus grove to cover up the illegal dumping, and how many people in the village are involved in this incident. ”

At this time, the deputy director of the security bureau surnamed Tian came over, faced the dozens of villagers who were onlookers, and said in a loud voice: "Who is your village chief? I contacted your township and said that your village chief's phone could not be reached! ”

After shouting for a long time, no one around came to recognize the village chief, it was already night, the staff of the environmental protection bureau supervision team wore overhead lights to continue the final sweeping work, Zhang Ruiming was busy for a day at this time and finally rested, standing aside to watch what Director Tian did.

There are more and more onlookers, and a group of people surround the scene, with different expressions on their faces, some insensitive spectators, some curious onlookers, and some people are inexplicably angry, hiding behind the crowd and scolding the on-site staff for moving the land in their village, breaking the nearby feng shui, Director Tian has a temper when he listens to it, and yells "Who is talking nonsense!", as soon as the flashlight shines over, this person quickly shut up, and hides in the dark crowd, and can't find out.

Director Tian shouted for a long time, but when he saw that no one answered him, and there were spectators talking nonsense beside him, he made him uncomfortable, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Is your village chief here!? Are there any village cadres at the scene?

This Director Tian is slightly bald on the top of his head, has a short figure, and speaks with a full of momentum and authority. By his yell, the dozens of villagers besieging him involuntarily took a few steps back, most of these people came to see the excitement, it was rare to see so many people in the village, they all wanted to see what so many city cadres were doing, and when they saw these people looking for village cadres, they also knew that nothing good would happen. It's all from the same village, even if they know where the village chief is, they won't talk nonsense at this time, and no one wants to go out into this troubled water.

In his ten-year career as a prosecutor, these onlookers appeared in different scenes in different faces again and again, murder cases, they besieged the hunt, some people jumped off the building, they watched and heckled, illegal assemblies, they rejoiced. Now, their own land and rivers are devastated by pollution, and they are still numb to onlookers.

Seeing that no one answered, Director Tian took out a megaphone from the car, "Hey, hey, hey, cough...... Listen up, the villagers in your vicinity are all listening, we are from the Environmental Protection Bureau of Xijiang District, Jingang City, ah, in this way, we have received a report from the Jingang City Procuratorate, and there is that ...... We have now done preliminary investigation and evidence collection work on the polluted dumping site, and now we can see that this is indeed a hidden water pipe that discharges pollutants, and it is connected to your village's own sewage canal! Let me tell you! According to our estimates, the discharge here should be industrial or medical wastewater, and it is toxic! Two days ago, did you see the dead fish in the Jingsha River? It is very likely that this water pipe was discharged! Therefore, you now have people who know the inside story! There are village cadres at the scene! Stand up! It's your business to protect your own children and grandchildren!"

Director Tian spoke quite emotionally, but unfortunately it still didn't cause any waves, these villagers still stood numbly in place, and no one was willing to stand up.

Zhang Ruiming sighed, he stepped forward and took the loudspeaker in Director Tian's hand, he knew this group of "spectators" too well, these people, especially the rural people in poor areas, most of them are greedy for small profits, and they can't see the good temperament of others, they want to eat more and occupy more good things, and if there are really bad things, they can hide as far as they can, let them take the initiative to take responsibility, that is not to think about it, soft is not good, can only come hard.

"In this way, we are from the Jingang Municipal People's Procuratorate, I am Zhang Ruiming, the head of the Civil Banking Section, today we are in the process of conducting a preliminary investigation of public interest litigation, and we found that this is a pollution dumping point, and the details have been told to you by Director Tian before, I just want to remind you that this incident is only at the stage of public interest litigation, and it does not involve criminal responsibility! If no one comes forward, we will transfer the case to the Jingang City Public Security Bureau in accordance with the law, and start the investigation for the crime of polluting the environment, and it is very likely that compulsory measures will be taken against the responsible leading cadres in the village. In short, if no one stands up for standing up now, it is still a simple pollution control, environmental restoration, and organizational treatment, and I count it three times! Remember! After three clicks! If no one still stands up! Then we will hand it over to the public security organs for handling according to law, and the main culprit will face criminal punishment! It is very likely that there will be prison sentences! And those accomplices, that is, some of you who are just unknowingly involved, whether they are those who do not report it, or those who are involved in collecting money, or contacting the factory, as long as the people involved in this incident, we will also take measures, fines, Detained, how many people are arrested!"

Seeing Zhang Ruiming say this, the crowd began to show signs of commotion, the onlookers began to whisper, and several people turned their eyes to look at a middle-aged short man hiding in the back row, this person was wearing a white shirt, a small flat head, and a pair of glasses that were different from the image and temperament of ordinary rural people.

Zhang Ruiming's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he found that the villagers had arched this person out with their eyes, but he still raised his right hand quietly and began to count in a serious and low voice: "One!"
