As soon as Gao Shengqiang heard the names of these three people, his face changed suddenly, and his whole body began to tremble again. He habitually pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, trying to suppress the shock.

Zhu Feipeng frowned, and his face was serious: "Please don't smoke." "Now Zhao Xiangwan is a key protection object, as long as she is there, everyone will not dare to smoke.

Gao Shengqiang had to take back the cigarette: "Okay, okay, I don't smoke." ”

Zhu Feipeng said in a deep voice: "What are you nervous about?" ”

Gao Shengqiang rubbed his hands: "I'll tell you, there are ghosts here!" I really think there's a ghost. Since July with Peng Qianze, the three of them have been together, and one after another accidents have occurred, all of which are traffic accidents. Peng Qianze was crushed to death by a pickup truck in July, and Huang Ju was hit and killed by a taxi in August, and then ...... Ten days ago, Qi Wanjuan was hit and killed by a car. I'm so scared! I'm really scared. I went to the temple to burn incense, and asked the master for a peace charm, but I didn't expect that something happened today and I was almost hit and killed by the car. ”

Speaking of which, Gao Shengqiang, who has always been superstitious, was so frightened that he looked left and right, as if there was a powerful ghost hiding in this house, and he was going to come to him for his life.

"One person's accident may be an accident, and two people's accidents are a coincidence, but what about three? What about four? Don't you really think it's too weird? It must have been us who inadvertently messed with the dirty stuff and got entangled! Now it's my turn, it's my turn! ”

Zhao Xiangwan paid attention to Gao Shengqiang's expression, seeing that his eyes were wide open, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were full of horror, it seemed that he did believe in the theory of ghosts and gods.

His heart is also chattering at the moment.

[How did you get the dirty stuff?] 】

[When the four of us gathered, no one wore antiques of unknown origin, and no one engaged in any ghost and god rituals, why did accidents happen one after another? 】

[I just gave Peng Qianze two cans of new brand milk powder, and I didn't do anything else. 】

Dried milk?

Zhao Xiangwan immediately woke up.

Moving his body, Zhao Xiangwan slowly spoke: "It's not a ghost, it's murder." ”

In a word, Gao Shengqiang screamed in fright, and the whole person jumped up from the chair: "What? What did you say? Murder? Didn't you say a traffic accident? How can it be murder! ”

Zhao Xiangwan didn't speak, raised his eyes and looked at him quietly.

Zhu Feipeng said on the side: "Be quiet!" We are from the Investigation Bureau of the Public Security Department, and the reason why we called you today and came to you is to find out the real culprits behind these murders. ”

After the horror, Gao Shengqiang once again felt lucky. He swallowed heavily, clasped his hands together in thanks.

"Well, thank you."

"Really, really thank you very much."

"You saved my life!"

Knowing that it was not a ghost and that there was no evil spirit asking for his life, Gao Shengqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but in an instant, he had new worries.

"Comrade policeman, I am a small supermarket owner, neither involved in drugs nor pornography, never gambling or prostitution, working honestly, and making money in my duty. I don't know any trade secrets, I haven't seen anything black. Why would anyone want to kill me? Why did you kill Qi Wanjuan? Why did you kill Peng Qianze and Huang Ju? ”

Thinking of the three old classmates who died unjustly, the anger in Gao Shengqiang's heart gradually began to burn, his chest rose and fell because of excitement, and his face was swollen red.

"Peng Qianze and Huang Ju, Qi Wanjuan and I are at the same table, the four of us sat at the front and back tables when we were in high school, we often talked and chatted together after class, we stole together, played poker together, and of course, they would also supervise each other to memorize texts and do homework, and if my grades were not good, they would help me. During the three years of high school, the four of us were like brothers. ”

"Qi Wanjuan is a tomboy, the most chivalrous, I admire her very much. It's a pity that I didn't do well in the college entrance examination, I didn't pass the exam, and I came back to help my dad open a supermarket, and I didn't have the face to chase her. ”

"Peng Qianze is a rural child, he is very honest, but he is very backbone, and his grades are also the best. He and Huang Ju were admitted to a county town, Huang Ju's family conditions were good, and the two were a little unaccustomed to each other at first, but later because Huang Ju had an illness, it was Peng Qianze who carried him to the hospital and guarded him for a day and a night, and then the two of them became iron buddies. ”

"After the two of them finished college, they were all assigned to work in Star City, and the four of us get together at least twice a year, once in July and once during the Chinese New Year. No matter how busy you are, everyone will find a way to have a meal together. Although they were journalists and doctors, they didn't dislike me as a small businessman, and everyone got together and talked about interesting things about their high school days. ”

Recalling the past, Gao Shengqiang's voice began to choke: "Why? Several of us are ordinary people, powerless and powerless, and we earn hard-earned money. Don't look at Peng Qianze's best grades and the best school he was admitted to, but after he was assigned to work in the Food and Drug Administration, he has been living a hard life, and he can't even get the money for the child's milk powder. ”

"Huang Ju, the doctor said that he has a high social status, but he actually has a very hard life, and he doesn't have much money. Not to mention the night shift, he had to treat dozens of children in the outpatient clinic for eight hours, and he was so tired that he didn't even have time to drink saliva. Today's children are all only children, and the gold is very expensive, not light, heavy, and scolded for having a bad attitude, so he can only bear it silently. ”

"Not to mention Qi Wanjuan. started as a young reporter, I don't know how much hardship I have suffered, and my monthly salary is just that much. I subscribe to "Legal Weekly" every year, just to see her words. What she writes is like the truest words that flow from her heart.

She likes to watch martial arts when she is studying, and after going to work, she embodies the ancient way of enthusiasm and chivalry in the text, scolding corrupt officials and corrupt officials, criticizing profiteers and bullies, and is full of joy. In order to obtain first-hand information, she once climbed deep into the mountains to interview the black-hearted mine, and risked her life to go to the food processing factory to take photos of the scene. Qi Wanru is not afraid of things and dares to take responsibility, she really ......"

Young feelings are always poetry, and Qi Wanjuan's death hit Gao Shengqiang the hardest.

"She's really, really, very well a journalist and a very, very good woman. Such a good person, why would anyone harm her? ”

Zhao Xiangwan did not speak.

Zhu Feipeng, Zhou Rulan, and Zhu Kang were also silent.

Indeed, whether it is Peng Qianze, Huang Ju, or Qi Wanjuan, they are all people who strive to shine in their jobs. It is precisely because of people like them that society will continue to progress and the world will become more and more beautiful.

However, there are people who do everything possible to deprive them of their right to live and murder their lives!

Zhao Xiangwan spoke, breaking the silence: "Do you think about it, what special things happened at the July party?" ”

Gao Shengqiang shook his head: "It's nothing special, it's just to meet and chat." ”

Zhao Xiangwan saw that he didn't mention milk powder, so he had to remind him: "Have you ever given or exchanged anything between you?" ”

Gao Shengqiang didn't think that the two cans of milk powder sent out of the supermarket were anything, but since the police asked, he replied honestly: "Yes, I took two cans of milk powder from the supermarket and gave them to Peng Qianze." In order to save money to buy a fund-raising house for the unit, his son's milk powder was stopped. I saw that he was doing so badly, so I gave him two cans. ”

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "What brand of milk powder?" How much does it cost? ”

Gao Shengqiang said: "The Liangerkang milk powder, which has been selling very well recently, is not expensive, 500 grams a can, 38 yuan, and the kind in a half-catty simple bag is only 18 yuan." Imported milk powder is expensive, more than 100 yuan a can. Sino-foreign joint venture brands also have more than 70 yuan. At the beginning of this year, we put Liangerkang milk powder on the supermarket shelves, because it is cheap, tastes good, and has a strong milk flavor, so many people buy it. ”

Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "After you sent the milk powder, Peng Qianze didn't say anything?" ”

Gao Shengqiang frowned: "No, he didn't say anything." Is there a problem with the milk powder? Can't you? Milk powder is drunk by children, who dares to make a name for themselves in milk powder? Isn't that damned? ”

He suddenly thought of something, and gasped: "Ah, by the way, after Peng Qianze died, I went to his house with Qi Wanjuan and Huang Ju to mourn, and Qi Wanjuan said something brainless to me at that time, she said, Liangerkang brand milk powder, don't buy it again in the future." ”

Goldman Sachs slapped himself hard: "Why didn't I think about it too much?" Because of Peng Qianze's death, I felt very uncomfortable, and when I heard Qi Wanjuan's words, I thought she was thinking about things, and I was sad in my heart. Liangerkang milk powder was the last thing I sent out before Peng Qianze's death, but I didn't expect that in the past month, he died like this, alas! I nodded my head and said yes without asking anything. Comrade policeman, tell me, is there a problem with the milk powder? ”

Without waiting for Zhao Xiangwan to answer, the more Gao Shengqiang thought about it, the more afraid he became: "Did Qi Wanjuan find out something, so someone wanted to harm her?" Is the reason why we want to count a few of us is because we know her well? But I really don't know! I don't know anything! I haven't restocked that brand of milk powder since September, and I don't know if there's anything wrong with it. There are no customers to react to the situation, I really don't know! ”

Zhao Xiangwan looked at him: "Whether there is a problem with the milk powder, we don't know at present, and we have to investigate further." ”

After that, Zhao Xiangwan stood up and advised: "You must pay attention to safety in the near future, and if there is any abnormal situation, report to the police at any time." ”

Step out of the supermarket and the sun is shining overhead.

The road surface is clean and tidy, people come and go, and everything looks peaceful and peaceful.

If it weren't for the scattered car parts, broken beverage bottles, and wooden box fragments at the entrance of the supermarket, there would be no indication that a vicious incident had just happened here. A traffic accident, a well-planned homicide.

Zhao Xiangwan raised his head and greeted the bright sunshine, and the chill on his body gradually dissipated: "Immediately buy a few cans of Liangerkang milk powder from different shopping malls and send them to the trace inspection department for comprehensive testing." ”

Zhu Feipeng puffed out his chest: "Yes!" ”

Chapter 164: Choice

◎The three of them face the choice between conscience and survival◎

According to the results of the trace laboratory, toxic and harmful ingredients were detected in different milk powder samples provided by Zhu Feipeng.

This harmful ingredient can increase the fragrance, thickening and taste, but it can cause great damage to the kidneys of infants and young children, ranging from kidney stones to hydronephrosis, which will affect brain development and lead to cerebral palsy if taken for a long time.

As soon as the test results came out, the leaders of the Provincial Public Security Department were shocked.

How did such poisoned milk powder pass the testing of the Food and Drug Administration, how did it obtain the food batch number, and how did it pass the supervision of the industrial and commercial and health departments and enter the major shopping malls, supermarkets, and commissaries in a grand manner?

Liangerkang Food Group Co., Ltd. is a star enterprise in the province.

Chairman Feng Liangkang, born in a farmer's family, started his own business from a small fried food stall, and gradually developed into a group company, which has become one of the top star enterprises in Hunan Province. The company's products range from melon seeds, peanuts to all kinds of candy, preserved fruits, canned food...... Everything, New Year's holidays, visiting relatives and friends, who hasn't bought good and healthy food?

At the beginning of this year, Liangerkang entered the milk powder market, acquired a milk powder company, and the infant milk powder launched was welcomed by the people as soon as it was listed. As Gao Shengqiang said, the milk has a strong flavor, good taste, and low price, coupled with the good advertising of Liangerkang, which suddenly occupies half of the milk powder market.

Such a brand enterprise that has been developing for more than ten years, openly produces and sells poisoned milk powder that harms the body of infants and young children, which is completely self-destructive to the Great Wall! Bring calamity to the country and the people! No toleration!

The Provincial Public Security Department quickly reported to the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Party Committee attached great importance to it and set up a special task force to unite with various government departments such as industry and commerce, health, medical care, and education to carry out strict investigations and crackdowns.

Overnight, all Liangerkang brand milk powder was withdrawn.

All members of the board of directors of Liangerkang were taken away and subjected to internal investigation.

Taking milk powder as the starting point, Zhao Xiangwan's team investigated the work units of Huang Ju and Qi Wanjuan.

The truth gradually emerged.

July of this year.

Gao Shengqiang sent two cans of milk powder, and Peng Qianze gave the child to drink for a period of time and found that his son's urine was yellow and he would cry out in pain when urinating. Peng Qianze found Huang Ju and sent the child to the children's hospital for examination, where he found that he had kidney stones.

Huang Ju thought of the recent diagnosis of more than a dozen cases of kidney stones in infants and young children, and he became suspicious in his heart. Carefully inquired about Peng Qianze's child's diet, and after ruling out the food problem in the kindergarten, Huang Ju turned his suspicious eyes to the milk powder.

Peng Qianze happened to be a technician from the Food and Drug Administration, so he took the milk powder sample into the laboratory for testing, and the test result shocked him: the milk powder actually contained poisons!

Because Liangerkang milk powder was sent by Goldman Sachs, Peng Qianze was worried that he would have a disturbed conscience, so he chose to hide it, and even his wife did not tell him.

Peng Qianze reported to the leadership, but was criticized for using the laboratory for private testing without authorization, and threatened to cancel his qualification for room division if he continued to investigate.

Huang Ju's side also encountered obstacles.

He reported to the leaders of the department, demanding that the incident of collective poisoning of infants and young children be reported to the health department, and that Liangerkang milk powder be thoroughly investigated.

But the leader told him to shut up, saying that the matter had not yet been clarified, and it was not necessarily a problem with milk powder. Huang Ju wanted to say something, but was threatened by the leader: Do you want to evaluate the deputy high?

Huang Ju is a doctor who graduated from a formal medical major, has good medical ethics, is gentle and patient with children, and is very popular with parents. It's just that because he didn't write papers, had no academic achievements, and had an upright personality that he was not good at meeting, he never got the deputy senior title.

Huang Ju and Peng Qianze were very painful and entangled, so they found Qi Wanjuan, hoping to use the power of reporters to investigate and expose Liangerkang milk powder, so that the people could spontaneously suppress this brand of milk powder to protect the health of the children.

Qi Wanjuan began to investigate.

She came to Liangerkang Dairy Company with a press card and asked to visit the production workshop, the inspection process of the source dairy farmers, the test report, etc., and directly questioned the quality of milk powder.

After encountering the company's security guards to block and threaten, Qi Wanjuan copied the child's medical report, took out the test results, and wrote a press release with the title of "Poisoned milk powder enters the market, who is the crime?" 》

But this manuscript was stopped by the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief said that there is no problem with all the approvals, batch numbers, and test reports of Liangerkang milk powder, and the physical condition of infants and young children is only a special case, and now is the critical time to support local enterprises and develop the local economy. The matter has not yet been clarified, and rash reporting will cause an uproar in society, which will have a huge impact on the future and fate of Liang Erkang, and may even cause the public to question the credibility of the government.

Therefore, the editor-in-chief shot the manuscript to death.

Qi Wanjuan's heart seemed to be tormented in an oil pot, a lot of her hair fell out, and she looked at the manuscript locked in a drawer and couldn't see the light of day, and fell into deep thought.

Peng Qianze's test report, Huang Ju's outpatient records, and Qi Wanjuan's press release were all suppressed by some people with power.

They all have families, and work is fundamental to supporting their families. What will be the consequences of confronting the leadership and the powerful? They know it.

However, the tainted milk powder is constantly flowing into the market, and the more children with kidney problems are visiting the hospital, and the more and more questions and protests about the quality of the milk powder are heard, and their conscience makes it impossible for them to remain silent.

Where do we go from here?

The three of them are faced with a choice between conscience and survival.

The three agreed that in order to protect Gao Shengqiang, this matter would be hidden from him first.

The choice is tough.
