The man returned home with some lost souls, and he still can't believe that what just happened is true! In the past few months, his career has encountered unprecedented difficulties, and his life seems to have entered a trough that he can't climb out......

The man's name is Zhao Yuhui, and he is the owner of a leather processing factory. In the past few years, the business was good and I made a lot of money. But now because the country focuses on environmental protection, his small factory has always been a key polluting enterprise, and the factory is facing two choices, either shut down or install new environmental protection equipment.

But he didn't want to choose either, if the factory stopped production, then his efforts over the years would be in vain; But if the new environmental protection equipment is installed, the cost required is really not something that a small tannery can afford!

Friends from the Environmental Protection Bureau, who had an unusual relationship with him before, are now fighting with him when they see him. In the past two months, he has been entrusted with the relationship, walked through the back door, and finally met Li Qiang, the captain of the Municipal Environmental Protection Inspection Brigade. But this captain will ask for 200,000 when he opens his mouth! He really had a pain in his liver when he heard it...... But there is no way, I can't bear the wolf, as long as the money can be settled, it is not a problem.

Zhao Yuhui, who was thinking that he could finally get through this crisis safely, didn't know that a bigger crisis was waiting for him......

In order to have a good relationship with Captain Li, he is desperately accompanying him at night! Although he knew that he was drunk, he still sent Captain Li home with a smile on his face. In order to know the address of his house, he will come and go often in the future. But I didn't expect that not far from his community, he ...... Bumped into someone.

He rubbed his small hair vigorously with his hands, repeatedly recalling the scene just now, how did he bump into that woman? Because of the alcohol, he really can't remember, but he knows: the person must have been hit by him!

The next day, Zhao Yuhui walked into his own Hengtai Leather Co., Ltd., although the factory is not large, but there are millions of income every year. Leather dyeing is a highly polluting industry, and in order to save money, Zhao Yuhui uses dyes containing aromatic amine carcinogens banned by the state.

In recent years, in a place called Lianhua Village downstream of the factory, more and more people have been suffering from cancer. On more than one occasion, the villagers suspected that the water pollution from the tannery might have caused the illness of the people in their village. But this kind of thing, it is too difficult to investigate and collect evidence! Without the help of government agencies, ordinary villagers would not have been able to understand the problem.

And the government is precisely the unit that is most reluctant to expose this kind of thing, because this can only show that it is the government's ineffective supervision, as well as the dereliction of duty of relevant units and leaders, and it is something that no leader wants to happen in his own time.

Therefore, every petition from the villagers of Lianhua Village in previous years ended up in vain. But this year is different, the state vigorously focuses on environmental pollution, and many media are vying to report on the situation in Lianhua Village. This place, which was supposed to be called Lotus Village, is now called "Cancer Village" by netizens. ”

Although Zhao Yuhui is not only a polluting enterprise in the upper reaches of Lotus Village, his Hengtai leather is destined to be on the list!

Zhao Yuhui is really worried! In fact, he has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know if the 200,000 yuan spent can resolve the current crisis?

"Mr. Zhao, are you looking for me?" Accountant Xiao Liu knocked on the door and came in.

"Oh, Xiao Liu, how much cash do we have in our company's account?"

Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "Well, less than 500,000." Mr. Zhao, do you want to use money? ”

Zhao Yuhui nodded and said, "Then you give me 200,000 cash today, and I want to use it for purchase." ”

"Okay, I'll do it in a minute." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he turned around and went out.

Zhao Yuhui turned on his computer to see if there were any reports on the Internet about last night's car accident. But here's the strange thing: everything works! Whether it is on the Internet or in the WeChat circle of friends, there is no news of last night's car accident, is it because I am dazzled? But apparently unlikely!

Suddenly, another news caught his attention, about an accident that happened near the Normal University a few months ago, the old professor fell into the water on a rainy day, no one stepped forward to help him up, and finally died tragically on the way. At the same time, it was accompanied by a video about several passers-by who were not saved when they saw death. And the reason that caught Zhao Yuhui's attention was that he saw his black Land Rover in the video!

If you think about it carefully, it seems that one day it was raining heavily, and he drove by there, and a woman asked him to help, but he didn't care about such a thing, and drove away. It seems that he is not the only one who is not nosy? A few people passing by don't have much love!

Zhao Yuhui turned off the computer, he didn't take this matter to heart at all. He thinks he's not wrong at all! Which law says that you must act bravely? Which law says you must be happy to help others? For people like him, everything is about money, and he will not do anything that is not profitable at all!

In the afternoon, the accountant offered him the 200,000 he asked for. He carried this heavy 200,000 yuan and decided to send it to Captain Li home in person.

The car drove to the place where the accident happened last night, and after he parked the car on the side of the road, he walked straight out of the car, leaned on the car, lit a cigarette, and looked around...... I found the ground very clean, not like the scene of a car accident. But the events of last night are vivid......

"Smack!" The cigarette butt was bounced to the ground by him, splashing sporadic sparks. He got in the car and drove towards the neighborhood where Captain Li's house was located...... Before entering the door, he checked the 200,000 in the box in the car, and he didn't want to make a mistake in the money and affect the final result.

Captain Li received him warmly and promised that things would be wrapped up on him! Perhaps this kind of thing has never seen the light of day, and he left after not staying at Captain Li's house for a few minutes. Zhao Yuhui left Captain Li's house and it was getting late, and when things got to this point, his heart could finally be half relieved.

"Ringing ringing ......" The mobile phone rang, and when I took it out, it turned out to be my wife calling. When he was running errands outside, his wife never called to interfere with him, and now when he calls at this time, there must be something urgent......

Zhao Yuhui answered the phone and asked, "What's wrong?" "Not a word of nonsense.

"My son has a fever and has never gone away, so come back quickly." His wife said anxiously.

"What? I'll be right back! "My son is his treasure, and he can't have an accident, thinking of this, he stepped on the accelerator to the end in a hurry......

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Zhao Yuhui urgently stopped the car, thinking: "It's broken!" You can't be so unlucky to bump into someone again, right? This time he didn't rush to get out of the car, but looked around, but still no one saw it, God help me!

But at the same time, in the same place, he hit someone again, which made him think that it would be too much of a coincidence? He hesitated and got out of the car and walked towards the person who had been hit.

Suddenly, he stopped, this, isn't this the woman from yesterday? How is this possible? Even the posture of lying on the ground is exactly the same as yesterday! Still twitching weirdly...... Blood stained the white kimono in her hand.

Zhao Yuhui couldn't believe his eyes, he went back to the car like crazy, desperately trying to start the car. But at the critical moment, Land Rover was no longer powerful. The more anxious he was, the more he couldn't catch fire.

He was horrified, but his eyes involuntarily turned to the window...... A miserable white woman's face is right in front of you! Her already emaciated limbs were banging on the car window in a posture that a living person would not have done.

"Ahh Zhao Yuhui's frightened eyes burst into blood and he screamed.

"Boom", the car actually hit at this time, and he quickly started the car and left the scene. Along the way, his heart beat wildly, ran three red lights in a row, and drove home in one go.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw my wife sitting on the sofa watching TV. Seeing Zhao Yuhui coming in, he said a little strangely, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"Where's my son!"

The wife didn't see Zhao Yuhui's strange appearance, and replied with a smile: "Sleeping?" You don't look at what time it is! ”

"Sleep on you*! My son has a fever and won't go to the hospital? Zhao Yuhui shouted with some excitement.

But his wife looked dazed: "Husband, what's wrong with you?" When did my son have a fever? ”

Zhao Yuhui was stunned: "It was you who called me and said that our son had a fever, let me come back quickly!" ”

His wife first looked puzzled, and then asked him with a blue face: "It can't be that your junior called you, saying that your son outside has a fever, did you hear it wrong?" ”

"Fucking fart!" Zhao Yuhui said and took out his mobile phone: "Look at it, isn't this your phone?" ”

However, the mobile phone showed that the last call was to Captain Li...... Zhao Yuhui is completely stupid? How is this possible! Could it be that the woman I killed yesterday turned into a ghost and came to seek revenge on me? No, I must have been too worried about what happened last night, so I hallucinated and scared myself!

I think he Zhao Yuhui has also been mixed in society for so many years, what haven't you seen? I have always been able to stay calm when encountering problems. Looking at his resentful wife in front of him, he could only lie and say: "I was too tired just now, so I squinted in the car for a while, maybe I dreamed that my wife called and said that my son was sick, and when I woke up, I really thought that my son was really sick." ”

Zhao Yuhui's wife is not stupid, she knows what her man is like, and she only accepts his statement with half a heart.

The woman's pale face has always been deeply imprinted in Zhao Yuhui's mind, he can convince his wife, but he can't convince himself. Something must have gone wrong, if it's not that I'm crazy, then I must have really hit a ghost......

He found all the things at home that could ward off evil spirits, what a jade Buddha that opened the light, what a peach wood bracelet and the like, and wore them all on his body!

Zhao Yuhui's wife saw that something was wrong with him: "Husband, did something happen to you outside?" ”

"Day by day, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Yuhui said angrily.

When his wife heard Zhao Yuhui's tone towards her, she also said angrily: "Don't think I don't know about the immoral things you did outside!" I don't care about anything else, if it's because of what you did, and the retribution will be on our mother, I'm not done with you! ”

"For whom do I do all these immoral things? It's not for you two to have a good life! Besides, I'm not the only one who does this, everyone else does it! Zhao Yuhui had a blue face, he couldn't believe that his wife, who had always been obedient to him, was so ruthless to him today.

In a fit of rage, he slammed the door and left.

Zhao Yuhui drove his own black Land Rover and rushed all the way back to the company. During the day, the company is crowded with people, but at night it is quiet and a little scary...... He walked into the office with some irritation, and as soon as he entered, he saw a person sitting in his boss's chair.

"Who?" Zhao Yuhui was shocked, is there a thief? But it doesn't feel like ......

"Squeak ......" The boss's chair turned slowly, and it turned out to be accountant Xiao Liu sitting on it

"Is that you? What are you doing here at such a late hour? Zhao Yuhui said suspiciously.

Xiao Liu smiled weirdly: "Mr. Zhao, your 200,000 yuan was sent to Captain Li?" ”

Zhao Yuhui's face changed, and he said weakly: "What 200,000?" That's the money I used to get into the skin! ”

"Huh...... Xiao Liu smiled coldly and said: "You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me!" Every time you take bribes, I have a record here......"

"You! Why are you doing this? I'm not so thin on you! Zhao Yuhui said in disbelief.

Xiao Liu snorted coldly: "You treat me well, but my parents died at your hands!" ”

Zhao Yuhui was also blindsided, and he asked puzzledly: "Who are your parents?" Do I know them? ”

"Yes, you don't know them, but you killed them! My hometown is in Lotus Village, oh no, it's time to call it Cancer Village! ”

Zhao Yuhui seemed to understand what she meant, and he said to Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, listen to me, I didn't mean to kill your parents, and I didn't know that the dye was so harmful at the beginning, but don't worry, I will compensate you." ”

"Compensation? How much money do you think it will take to get my parents back to their lives? I'm going to shake it all out about you! Let you go to prison for the rest of your life! Xiao Liu said sharply.

Zhao Yuhui knew that he had no intention of saying more, and he was ruthless in his heart, so he became murderous. He slowly approached Xiao Liu and said something that didn't hurt or itch to divert her attention, and suddenly Zhao Yuhui grabbed Xiao Liu's neck with both hands, and the latter tried hard to get rid of the shackles of Zhao Yuhui's hands. But she was a woman after all, and all her struggles were in vain, and she died in a few minutes.

"You can't blame me for this, and I don't want to kill you! You forced me! You can't blame me for this! Zhao Yuhui was a little stunned and repeated these words.

Don't look at Xiao Liu's slenderness, but once a person dies, he will die. Zhao Yuhui used the strength of milk to drag Xiao Liu's body to the exhaust gas combustion equipment in the factory. This device is not usually used much, and it will only be turned on when it is necessary to cope with the inspection. He closed the switch and pressed the start button......

The maximum temperature of this exhaust gas combustion equipment can reach more than 1100 °C, and Xiao Liu has truly "evaporated in the world" since then.

Zhao Yuhui had no sleep all night...... Also, there are few people whose mental quality is so good that they can sleep peacefully after killing someone.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, employees in the company came to work one after another, and Zhao Yuhui wanted to pretend that nothing had happened on the surface, but in his heart he was crawling like a swarm of ants.

"Zhao... Total... Early! A familiar voice greeted Zhao Yuhui.

Zhao Yuhui seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he turned his head a little stiffly...... Xiao Liu!! Didn't she throw herself into the exhaust gas burner?

"Mr. Zhao? What's wrong with you? Xiao Liu asked Zhao Yuhui with concern.

"You, you're not ......" Zhao Yuhui stammered speechless.

Xiao Liu smiled weirdly at him and turned to leave. Zhao Yuhui sat in his chair, he hurriedly turned on the computer, wanting to check the surveillance in his office last night.

At 12:40, he appeared in the office, and then Zhao Yuhui saw a scene that he couldn't believe. He's talking to the air! Although he couldn't hear what he said, he looked at the shape of his mouth, it was what he said to Xiao Liu last night, and then his wife ran in, and he said something to his wife, and her wife looked panicked and wanted to leave...... But he was choked by his neck until he lost his breath!

Oh, my God! Zhao Yuhui is going crazy, he killed his wife with his own hands! How is this possible? He killed the accountant Xiao Liu! But just now, Xiao Liu appeared in front of him in a weird way......

What is true? What is Fake? He couldn't tell the difference for a long time! He stumbled out of the company and rushed home. When he opened the door, he heard his son's crying, he ran into the bedroom and picked up his son: "Don't cry son, dad is here, where is mom?" ”

The son choked up and said, "Mom said she was looking for you last night, and she hasn't come back until now, I want Mom!" I want Mom! ”

After listening to his son's words, Zhao Yuhui finally believed that the body he threw into the exhaust gas burning furnace was none other than his wife and son's own mother!

He tried to calm his emotions and dialed his mother's phone: "Mom, you come over now, we have something to do, you can help us take our grandson for a few days." Zhao Yuhui tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible.

The mother readily agreed, and after a while, she came over to pick up her little grandson, and asked Zhao Yuhui before leaving: "Where is your daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhao Yuhui squeezed out a smile with all his strength and said, "She, she went to help me." ”

After sending off his mother and son, Zhao Yuhui sat on the sofa alone and tried to recall when did he start to have problems? Is it a mental problem? Still is...... Hell yes! But the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. When I picked it up, I saw that it was the friend who introduced Team Li to him-Lao Wang.

"Yuhui, something happened to Zhao Qiang, do you know?"

"What? What happened to him? Zhao Yuhui's heart sank.

"He's put the investigation team under control, if you want to keep yourself from getting involved with him, don't go to him again!"

Zhao Yuhui was anxious when he heard it: "Then what about my factory?" What about my 200,000? ”

"I also kindly remind you, think about it yourself, if things go out, your factory, your 200,000, and you! It's all over! See for yourself! Honk...... Honk...... ...... beep "The other party hung up the phone.

Zhao Yuhui sat on the ground with his butt and held his head in his hands: "It's over, it's all over!" ”

At night...... Zhao Yuhui wandered the streets like a corpse without a soul. Don't know where you're going...... The factory is over, his wife is dead, and Team Zhao has also entered, and Xiao Liu doesn't know when he will report himself. It seems that all the people in this world who have something to do with themselves are going to be unlucky. He decided to stay away from his son and parents, so far away that he could never bother them again......

Walking and walking, Zhao Yuhui came to the community where he bumped into a terrible woman, did all the misfortunes start here? I'm afraid not! Is it because you don't want to save yourself? Or did you start discharging sewage into the river with a clear conscience?

Forget it, it doesn't matter. He glanced at the newspaper on the newsstand on the side of the road, and one after another came into view. It's her! He excitedly picked up the newspaper, and there was a report on it, which probably meant that a month ago, a female corpse was revealed in a residential building in a certain community, which was Zhang Xue, a female resident of a certain building. The cause of death was determined by a forensic doctor: starvation.

Although she looks normal in the photo, this face is clearly the woman who has been hit and killed twice by herself!

The newsstand vendor saw that Zhao Yuhui was very concerned about the news, so he whispered to him: "It's from this community, I've seen that woman before." I heard that my husband died just after I got married, and when I found the woman's body, she had been dead for more than a month! People are thin into skin, so they don't rot much......"

Zhao Yuhui didn't dare to believe lightly, which of all this was true? Which is fake! He didn't wait for the newsstand vendor to finish his sentence and ran into the neighborhood, straight to the building that the newspaper said...... When he came to the downstairs where the woman lived, he suddenly hesitated.

On the night of the car accident, the woman named Zhang Xue had already died! How could he be killed by himself? What's more, the way she died was too weird! How can anyone starve himself to death? As he was hovering under the 17-story building, a heavy object was rapidly falling from the 15th floor......

"Bang ......" Zhao Yuhui fell to the ground in response, his head was bleeding profusely, and the grass under him was red in a few seconds. Not far from him, a crystal ashtray with blood lay quietly......

"Ah...... Dead! "An aunt screamed and ran to call someone.

On the 15th floor, a middle-aged woman yelled at her son: "Xiao Tao! Are you throwing things downstairs again? What did you throw away? ”

The boy looked back stupidly, looked at his mother, and smiled stupidly......

To be continued
