Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 418 Looking for clues
Officer Wang's words surprised Zhao Lei, and he hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately found that in this short half a day, a big tree by the river had begun to wither.The originally emerald and lush leaves turned yellow and fell into the red river water in pieces, floating downstream.

After being reminded by Police Officer Wang, Zhao Lei realized that the weeds on both sides of the river bank had also started to wither, not to mention the reeds and other aquatic plants.

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw the shock on each other's faces.In such a short period of time, even the plants along the river began to wither. Even without testing, we can know that the pollutants contain highly toxic ingredients. If the pollution is allowed to continue, it will cause fatal damage to the environment and ecology on both sides of the river. The blow may never recover.

This made everyone feel heavy. Officer Wang said goodbye to Zhao Lei first: "Mr. Zhao, more people are definitely needed to find the source of pollution right now. I have to go back to the bureau."

Zhao Lei said in a deep voice: "This time I'm bothering Officer Wang, I hope you can find the culprit as soon as possible."

"Definitely!" Police Officer Wang nodded his head, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "When I catch those guys, I will definitely...huh!"

Officer Wang left angrily, and Chang Jipeng also said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice: "Currently, my colleagues are very busy, and I have to go back. Mr. Zhao, don't use the river water in the near future. Affect the quality of fairy gourd ingredients."

Knowing that Chang Jipeng was kindly reminding himself, Zhao Lei also nodded and said: "I have taken care of it, and recently all of them have switched to tap water to ensure safety."

Chang Jipeng nodded, hesitated to speak: "Such serious pollution, I'm afraid... Sigh!"

Although Chang Jipeng left without finishing his words, Zhao Lei had guessed his worry.Such serious pollution is likely to have a permanent impact on the environment, and Xianhu Company will have to move out by then.

Thinking of the company that was built with great difficulty, Zhao Lei clenched his fists and muttered to himself: "No matter what, we must find the source of pollution and bring those who pollute the environment to justice!"

Since neither the police nor the environmental protection department could find the source of the pollution, Zhao Lei decided to try his luck himself.Although he does not have the modern testing equipment of the Environmental Protection Agency, he has more alert and flexible helpers - three pets full of spirituality, maybe he can really get something.

It was urgent to solve the pollution problem, so Zhao Lei immediately blew his whistle and called his pet dog and Xiao Huihui.

"Let's go, let's find out the source of the pollution!" Zhao Lei ordered the pet to walk upstream of the river first.

Heidou and the others immediately understood what Zhao Lei meant, and left with their master.

Heidou and Huangdou walked in front of Zhao Lei, sticking out their tongues and heading up the river.The river water exudes a pungent smell, which is unbearable even to humans, and it is even more torture to dogs with a keen sense of smell.

Fortunately, black beans and soybeans are also often baptized by spiritual energy, and their tolerance is much stronger than that of ordinary dogs. Therefore, although the smell is irritating, it does not have a great impact on them.

Relatively speaking, Xiao Huihui is much more comfortable. It hovers above Zhao Lei's head, monitoring the pollution of the river.However, Zhao Lei found that even the gray parrots were flying higher than usual, apparently to avoid the pungent smell of the river.

Zhao Lei took his pets all the way forward, and the further upstream he went, the worse the pollution became.Dead fish can be seen everywhere on the river, and plants on the banks of the river are dying.

Especially those residents whose homes are by the river suffered a lot from it, and many of them closed their doors and windows tightly to avoid the unpleasant smell.But even so, Zhao Lei often heard coughing, and the residents in the house were obviously suffering.

The shocking situation made Zhao Lei furious, and while looking for any clues, he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that the pollution is more serious than I thought, and the person who caused this incident had better not let me grab it, otherwise... …snort!"

Although he can't wait to punish those who cause pollution immediately, Zhao Lei also knows very well that the most important thing right now is to find the source of pollution as soon as possible to prevent the pollution from expanding further.

Zhao Lei searched all the way along the river, and soon came to the end of the polluted river section, where the river water was divided into two distinct colors.

The upstream is still the normal color, as clear as before; while the downstream has turned into a strange blood red, and at the same time it emits a very pungent smell.

However, even though Zhao Lei came to the end of the polluted river, he didn't find anything suspicious at all.As Chang Jipeng said, there are no factories on either side of the river bank, and there is no trace of any sewage outlet.

The nearest chemical plants are still more than one kilometer upstream.Even Zhao Lei doesn't quite believe that the pollution comes from these chemical factories.

After all, the polluted section of the river is too far away from the chemical plants. It would be a bit too fantastical to say that these chemical plants secretly dug pipes to discharge sewage into the river.After all, it is necessary to dig a one-kilometer underground ditch and discharge pipelines. The amount of work is too large, and it will definitely alarm the nearby residents. It is impossible that there will be no news at all.

This made Zhao Lei confused. If those chemical factories were not the source of pollution, what was the real cause of the pollution?

While Zhao Lei was standing by the river pondering, Heidou and Huangdou consciously began to search nearby.And Xiao Huihui also began to hover in the air centered on the owner's position, condescendingly looking for suspicious things.

The spiritual black beans and soybeans soon discovered that they were circling not far from Zhao Lei, constantly smelling the ground, and soon barking at their master.

Now Zhao Lei already knew his pet dogs very well, and when he heard the barking, he knew that they must have discovered something, so he hurried over to find out.

Zhao Lei, with keen eyesight, soon discovered that there were traces of tires running over the ground, and apparently a vehicle had parked here recently.Judging from the width and pattern of the tires, what was parked here was not a small vehicle, but a large truck.

Zhao Lei was a little surprised by this discovery. The river bank was far away from the road, and there were no houses around. Even if someone wanted to find a place to park, they would not drive to such a remote place. It was really weird.

Just when Zhao Lei was puzzled, Heidou not far away suddenly yelled at him, and kept scratching the ground in front of him with his front paws.

Zhao Lei hurried over to observe carefully, and immediately gained something.On the grass stems on the ground, some dark red traces remained.The weeds around the traces have also withered, very similar to the plants on the river bank.

Zhao Lei picked off a dead leaf with red marks on it, put it up to his nose and sniffed it lightly, and immediately showed an expression of enlightenment.

The smell of the dead leaves was exactly the same as that of the river, but more pungent.This also made Zhao Lei understand that he was one step closer to the truth of the matter!
