Chapter 284: No. 4 Junkyard
"It makes sense."
Lu Siya flipped through the information collected in the morning and said, "Although Jin Yongqiang is not the core management of 'Tiangong Machinery', it is impossible to get much benefit directly from the order of 'No. 20 Underground Rail Transit Line', but he owes so many gambling debts, if he doesn't think of a way, he will soon be swept out of the 'Sega Sky City', at this juncture, as long as someone is willing to give him a sum of money, I am afraid he is willing to do anything."
"I just don't understand, how did Jin Yongqiang himself become the third victim? Neither money nor his loyalty to the 'Heavenly Machine' is enough for him to 'sacrifice his ego', right? ”
"Yes, judging from the words of Miss Zhou just now, Jin Yongqiang obviously didn't plan to put himself in, but was ready to pay off his gambling debts and continue to enjoy life after the matter was completed."
Meng Chao fell into deep thought, integrating all the clues together, and always felt a little awkward, "Remember what I said, the attack pattern of the third biochemical pet beast is slightly different from the first two biochemical pet beasts?" Although they are all infected with the mutant rabies virus, I always feel that the biochemical pet beast that attacked Jin Yongqiang is calmer and more deadly.
"In other words, what we are facing is very likely not one case, but two, the first two victims were indirectly killed by Jin Yongqiang, but Jin Yongqiang himself was killed by another mysterious person."
"That's right, there is no pinhole in the ear canal of the third biochemical pet beast, it shouldn't be the virus injected by Jin Yongqiang."
Lu Siya said, "If Jin Yongqiang didn't die, this matter would not be so easy to trace to the 'Tiangong Machinery'.
"Let's assume that a certain senior executive of Tiangong Machinery planned the whole thing frantically in order to compete for orders and attack competitors, and he was worried that Jin Yongqiang, who did it directly, would leak secrets and prepare to kill people, so he shouldn't choose this time.
He could have waited for the order to arrive, the limelight had passed, and then used other means to let Jin Yongqiang die quietly - a guy like this who is addicted to gambling and is keen on spending time and drinking all day long, it will not be strange what kind of accident he died, why let him be bitten to death by a pet beast?
"Three pet beast murder incidents, almost at the same time, where is this" killing people and destroying the mouth", it is simply "setting fire to the body", the high-level of Tiangong Machinery cannot be so stupid."
"I agree with Sister Ya."
Meng Chao scratched his head and said in distress, "The problem is that Jin Yongqiang is dead, and there is no proof of his death, and it is impossible for us to go deep into the 'Tiangong Machinery' to collect evidence."
"Everything is our speculation, and without hard evidence, there is still no way to find the person who killed Jin Yongqiang."
"There is no need to go to 'Tiangong Machinery' to find evidence."
Lu Siya looked at Meng Chao, "Miss Zhou mentioned just now that a few days half a month ago, when Jin Yongqiang came home with a smell of garbage, you were stunned for a moment, why?" ”
Meng Chao was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I seem to know where Jin Yongqiang went at that time." ”
"Oh?" Lu Siya's eyes lit up.
Meng Chao took out his mobile phone, opened the search bar, tried to enter a few keywords, and quickly found a piece of news.
Lu Siya took the phone and looked at it, and found that it was the news that Lingchuang Biotech and the garbage treatment center had signed a cooperation agreement.
Dragon City is a three-dimensional city with tens of millions of people crammed into a narrow space, from skyscrapers to the underground, the honeycomb building structure has greatly increased the habitable population per unit area, but also gave birth to a large amount of domestic and industrial waste.
How to deal with this garbage is a major issue of life and death.
On the one hand, if the mountains of garbage are not cleaned up in time, they are very likely to spread all kinds of bacteria and viruses, and they are also a breeding ground for small monsters such as snakes, insects, rats and ants, and if you are not careful, it will cause a plague.
On the other hand, Dragon City has limited resources, and almost all garbage has to be recycled to barely meet the daily needs of citizens.
Today, there is a large-scale integrated waste treatment center in the south, east and west of Dragon City.
The amount of garbage that is poured every day is astronomical.
According to this news, the No. 4 Integrated Waste Treatment Center in the south of Longcheng signed an agreement with "Lingchuang Biology" to use giant sandworms prepared by "Lingchuang" to treat garbage, devouring a large amount of non-recyclable or even non-degradable garbage every day, and converting it into natural fertilizer rich in nutrients, which is expected to save how much cost, how much profit can be created, and so on.
"It is said that half a month ago, the giant sandworm specially prepared by the 'Lingchuang Biology' to devour garbage also had an out-of-control incident, and the runaway giant sandworm did not hurt people, but just went underground and escaped, and the time and Jin Yongqiang were stained with stench, as if they had rolled in the garbage heap, which was just right." Meng Chao explained.
"Let's go."
Lu Siya stood up, put on her mirrored sunglasses, and "Go to the 'No. 4 garbage dump'." ”
……
South of Dragon City.
Integrated Waste Treatment Centre No. 4.
Far from the commercial and residential areas, it is surrounded by a dilapidated factory that has been infested with monsters and is being renovated and upgraded.
When you pass through the factory, you will see the rolling hills, exuding various scents and dark colors.
Mountains of garbage, eroded by otherworldly microorganisms, spewed its stench like living creatures, dark red, lilac, and gray-white smoke obscured the sky and the sun, and greasy sewage glowed with a rainbow rotten sheen, compared to the most glorious central business district in Dragon City, it was simply another world.
Even if Meng Chao was accustomed to the noise and dirtiness of Tianfuyuan, and was a harvester engaged in resource recycling, he couldn't help frowning slightly in the face of such a harsh environment.
Before college, he rarely came to the rural-urban areas close to the fog.
Although he knew that there were countless places in Dragon City where the living environment was a hundred times worse than that of Tianfu Yuan, he did not have a particularly intuitive perceptual understanding of this.
Seeing this large-scale, ghostly garbage dump, he vaguely realized that just half a century is not enough to heal the wounds caused by tearing a city apart from its home planet and crossing into the other world; It is far from being able to help Dragon City completely get out of that era of order collapse and bloody darkness.
It's garbage dumping time.
Countless heavy-duty spar trucks, carrying stinking garbage, rumbled to the dump, dumping truckloads of fresh garbage onto conveyor belts and sending them to the sorting site.
The so-called "sorting yard" is a basin in the middle of the garbage mountain.
The smell is the signal, and in the depths of the garbage mountain, countless "recyclers" wearing goggles and simple filter masks, wrapped in cloaks, and holding steel drills and iron tongs have quietly appeared, rushing towards the garbage.
They staggered, pushed, pushed, and shoved, like a pack of hungry hyenas, running to their prey, which had long since rotted, but was becoming more and more luscious, and soon, in their respective districts, in spite of the stench and filth, they were buried in sorting.
Although the level of automation in Dragon City is constantly improving.
But there is still a lot of work, which cannot be done by industrial robots engraved with runes and installed with super brains.
Garbage sorting and recycling is one of them.
Because Dragon City is strictly thrifty, ordinary citizens will take the initiative to recycle and reuse garbage before discarding it, until all the value is squeezed out before throwing it into the garbage bin.
If you want to squeeze the last drop of oil out of these dross, you have to cooperate with the eyes, ten fingers and brain of human beings, the "spirit of all things".
When the "recycler" sorts all the garbage in detail, and there is really no recycling value, it will enter the next link and put it into the "biochemical treatment plant" to be devoured by giant sandworms.
Meng Chao was stunned to see the spectacular scene of thousands of recyclers sorting together, and a complicated light appeared in his eyes.
Lu Siya had already spread her long legs and strode towards the depths of the garbage dump.
She was obviously wearing a silk suit and high heels, which was extremely inappropriate for the stinking harsh environment around her.
Walking on the garbage heap where the sewage flows, but still walking out of the feeling of the Avenue of Stars.
The aura of incompatibility quickly attracted attention.
"What for?"
A strong man with a bear on his back and a tattoo on his arm, armed with a sharp steel drill, emerged from behind the garbage heap and looked at the two men with a wary expression.
Behind him, there were also several men with strong temperaments probing their brains.
Lu Siya looked at them expressionlessly.
Perhaps sensing the dangerous aura released by Lu Siya, the strong man in the Heavenly Realm, the tattooed strong man took a half step back, lowered his posture, and added, "Inside is a dangerous operation area, idlers are not allowed to enter, who are the two looking for?" ”
"I'm looking for you."
Lu Siya took out a large-denomination banknote from her arms, wrapped it in spiritual energy, and bounced it towards the other party, just floating in front of the other party, swaying and swaying, but it didn't fall to the ground.
The tattooed man's eyes bulged out, hesitated for a moment, accepted the money, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "This lady, what are you doing?" ”
"Have you ever seen this person?"
Lu Siya took out a photo of Jin Yongqiang from the information, handed it to the other party, and took out a thick wad of banknotes, divided them into two stacks, spread them in the palms of both hands, and said unhurriedly, "Don't be in a hurry to answer, if you haven't seen it, you can ask your 'recycler', and I'll give you half an hour."
"If, after half an hour, your answer is 'I haven't seen it,' the money in my left hand is yours.
"If your answer is 'I have seen', just say the right time, and the money in my hands will be yours.
"If your answer is 'I've seen' and you can't tell me the right time, or lie to me by saying the wrong time, I'm sorry, I can only get all the money back, understand?"
The tattooed man stared at the money spread out by Lu Siya's hands for a long time.
Glancing at her outfit and temperament again, she was sure she wasn't going to lie for the money.
swallowed his saliva, carefully folded Jin Yongqiang's photo, and found a teenage and thin half-grown child to greet the two, while he took his subordinates and quickly dispersed to the depths of the garbage dump.
