Two large pumps with full horsepower were placed on a narrow platform at the gate, and after more than two hours of busy work by four workers, they finally started pumping with a rumbling sound.

Although this gate is like a dock door, it does not have its own drainage function, and the pumping level of this scale will not be carried out basically, and the two pumps can only be borrowed from fishing boats from afar, and the rent of 300 yuan per hour can only pump dozens of cubic meters of water, that is to say, to drain the water of the fish pond, it takes at least sixty or seventy hours to work continuously, and the cost is at least more than 10,000; there are more than 100,000 fish fry that can survive; The most terrible thing is that the ditch that flows into the fish pond is blocked, so that many people are angry, and the filthy ditch will soon rise and overflow the top of the ditch, and in just a few hours, the smelly water will flow everywhere; in desperation, the houses, toilets, and various living facilities will all stop operating, and the people of the institute will probably have to eat dry food for the next few days.

If it weren't for the strong instructions of the leaders of the institute, someone would definitely come over to make trouble.

On the side of the fish pond, relatives have left early, and they can't stay here for too long, and their emotions are affected.

It was already late in the evening when the water was pumped, and Meng Zhuangquan heard that it would take at least two or three days to drain the water in the fish pond, so he shook his hand angrily and left, saying that he would come back to continue the investigation after the water was drained.

The six or seven coolies were left staring wide-eyed, and their hearts were really angry.

But what can it be, after all, the dead are tormented.

Director Qi personally came to the fish pond to squat, looking at the pond water that was falling very slowly with a blue face, smoking one after another, and did not speak.

Xu Jingnan and the Beiting detectives did not leave.

Li Yiting called Xu Jingyuan and asked to keep Xiao Xu by his side to assist in the work temporarily, of course Xu Jingyuan had no opinion, but why Li Yiting valued this elementary school policeman so much, he was quite puzzled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Wan Yongkun took the initiative to ask for help, and also gave cigarettes to the workers who pumped water, and everyone was quite grateful, and soon became familiar with each other, and gossiped by the pond.

Chen Tianyu asked Zichen to go back to his residence on Park Road to rest first, and he walked to Qi Zhixuan, who was in a depressed mood, with Li Yiting and Xu Jingnan, thinking that there might be some situations that he could use to understand and understand.

Li Yiting is not familiar with this Director Qi, but he happened to meet at the end of the last dinner, when this director entered the box to toast a glass of wine, and then went to pay the bill, he didn't expect this person to be the director of the security office, he really thought it was Wen Jiulin's secretary.

When the two of them came to Director Qi's side, Qi Zhixuan actually spoke first: "Director, did you say that this Meng Zhuangquan is a bit of an inch, why didn't you say a fair word?"

Li Yiting was stunned for a moment, but then understood.

He sighed: "We are not from a police station, we have no direct subordinate relationship, and it is not easy for me to interfere in the normal handling of cases by the city bureau." ”

Chen Tianyu said on the side: "The truth is good for everyone, and it costs some manpower and material resources, I think it's worth it." Besides, this fishpond doesn't necessarily have to be drawn to the bottom to satisfy them, and what you are trying to help show is just attitude. ”

Qi Zhixuan didn't understand this truth, he could only sigh.

That's what Mr. Liu meant. What kind of bird do you say this is, Meng Biao doesn't know what to think, he has to find such a short-sightedness. He muttered. "Just go, come back and do something. ”

Li Yiting saw the stitches and said: "This Meng Biao is also strange, you said that you didn't do well, just find another high, why don't you hit the south wall and don't look back?"

Qi Zhixuan glanced up at him and said angrily: "He didn't do a good job?" Mr. Liu usually takes him so seriously, and entrusts him with the most core work in the institute, which is a great trust. If it were me, I would have to go to the soup and go to the fire. ”

Li Yiting and Chen Tianyu glanced at each other, and each saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

Li Yiting handed over a cigarette and said lightly: "How did I hear that Mr. Liu is not too cold to this Meng Biao." ”

"Don't those people just like to chew on the root of their tongues? …… Mr. Liu valued him and gave him the most important post in the firm; Secretary Tang looked up to him, and wanted to marry such a beautiful daughter to him, what else should he do? There was no one in the whole office who was not envied...... Of course, rumors are inevitable, after all, everyone has jealousy, and this is normal. Qi Zhixuan's evaluation made Xu Jingnan and Li Yiting, who were quite familiar with the situation before, secretly surprised.

Could it be that Zhou Wengang's feedback is so different from the facts, who is lying?

Looking at Qi Zhixuan's flat expression, he couldn't see any trace of lying.

Could it be that Zhou Wengang has been committing perjury? Can he have such scheming and the city government?

Li Yiting decided to break the sand pot and ask to the end, no matter how secretive it was, it would be useless, the parties involved had an accident, what else could not be asked.

"What kind of work is Meng Biao responsible for in the institute, and what is the treatment?"

Qi Zhixuan seemed to think about it: "He is the main person in charge of the research and development of the core project, the chief engineer. The salary, maybe a little lower than Mr. Liu, anyway, it's higher than my salary. ”

Li Yiting and Xu Jingnan looked at each other, this is bizarre, if this is true, then what is Zhou Wengang's intentions, this person's suspicion suddenly increased dramatically.

But Li Yiting's face did not show any real thoughts, and he still had to confirm some details.

"I heard that this Meng Biao is very good at swimming, I don't know if that's the case. "He went straight in.

Qi Zhixuan nodded: "I also wonder about this, I remember the last factory games, Meng Biao just won the swimming championship." …… That's right, the 5,000-meter breaststroke was more than five minutes ahead of the second-place runner, and the 200-meter dive was without panting. You said that the evil door matter, how can all those who drown know how to swim?"

Chen Tianyu said lightly: "Low water temperature, physical decline, drunkenness, etc., may reduce the level of swimming, or cause accidental choking and drowning." ”

Qi Zhixuan shook his head: "Meng Biao usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, and although it was a little drizzle the night before, the temperature was actually not low, and it would not affect his swimming level at all." ”

Chen Tianyu didn't dig deeper, he seemed to have some eyebrows in his heart.

Li Yiting couldn't help it, and he had to ask the key point: "What is your core project? Many people say it's mysterious. ”

Qi Zhixuan continued to shake his head, he sighed: "I'm not engaged in technology, I really don't know what they study, anyway, I listen to Mr. Liu's talk about at least national-level research technology, the secret level is quite high." ”

Li Yiting didn't give up, he continued to ask: "I heard that it is related to alien technology?"

Qi Zhixuan was actually stunned, and said with a puzzled face: "Alien technology ?......" He suddenly came to his senses, "That was before, a long time ago." I probably haven't even been born yet, and the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in the Cold War, engaged in an arms race, and made some UFOs and aliens, which have long since been abandoned......; Alas, these were all the goals set by the nonsense and the Great Leap Forward at that time, how can we still study this now. He didn't doubt Li Yiting's source, he really thought he had heard about it.

Li Yiting couldn't help but glance at Chen Tianyu, who shrugged his shoulders narrowly, saying that he didn't know.

"I also told Xiao Xu that this is impossible. He skillfully pulled his back, but his expression was still slightly embarrassed, he didn't believe in gods and ghosts, he actually believed in aliens and the like.

Man, there are always some unrealistic illusions about the unknown world, and blindly believing in pseudoscience is, in the final analysis, also a superstitious thought.

Professionals like themselves are not immune.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The water in the fish pond finally lowered inch by inch with the passage of time, slowly revealing the true face of the bottom of the pond: It turns out that this fish pond is also divided into two layers, there is a circular platform that can be settled in the middle, the platform is about 20 centimeters wide, just enough to stand a person, and the bottom of the pond is only less than half a meter away from the platform, at least in the shallow part of the pond, but the fish pond has not been completely drained, just a piece of sea sand shells and mixed old silt exposed to the water surface, and there is a deep water area of about 100 square meters in the middle of the pond The situation is unclear.

But almost all the workers agree that this is really an ordinary man-made fish pond.

Now millions of fry are gathered in a small area of 100 square meters of deep water, which is breathtaking, and if the pumping is stopped now, the damage does not seem to be large.

Qi Zhixuan asked the pump to stop first, and he wanted to ask for instructions.

Before the phone call to Mr. Liu was connected, Xu Jingnan suddenly said, "Do you see if there is something in the middle of the fish pond,...... It seems to be the color of the woven bag. ”

Several people looked around, only to see that the pond water was slightly colorful and broken in the rippling, and they couldn't see any woven bags.

Xu Jingnan was also afraid that he would be dazzled, so he quickly went around to a place closer to the center of the pond to take a closer look, this time he could be sure-

In the deep water in the middle of the pond there is indeed a large snakeskin bag with red and white stripes.

"Do you want to salvage it?" he shouted at the other side of the fishpond.

Qi Zhi asked Li Yiting: "How can this be salvaged, and will you continue to pump water?"

Before Li Yiting could answer, Chen Tianyu had already patted him on the shoulder behind him.

"We didn't need to pump water, we went over and salvaged something. ”

Li Yiting made a decisive decision.
