Who Made Him a Lawyer?
Chapter 230 - 174: The Shocking Truth! The Terrifying Steel!
"From the follow-up analysis."
"Now the authorities should be aware that there's something deeper than environmental pollution at the steel plant."
"Luo Jun is apprehensive, he's scared!"
"So the question is, why is he scared?"
Xu Liang muttered.
Why is he scared? Because what Jin Bo and the authorities have found will kill him!
But the problem is... Jin Bo found the evidence five years ago and then died!
If Luo Jun caught Jin Bo, found the evidence in his possession... He would surely rectify any loopholes based on the evidence!
Then, he would burn the evidence to ashes.
That way, after five years, no one can overturn the case, not even the authorities!
So if Luo Jun really did this, theoretically he has no reason to be afraid.
Unless...
"The person is dead, but the evidence remains!"
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Xu Liang's eyes, which is the purpose of his visit.
Luo Jun killed Jin Bo and is still apprehensive.
This only proves that he never found the evidence Jin Bo uncovered, so however well he disguises himself, once the authorities find this piece of evidence, all his facade will instantly collapse!
He himself will also be unmasked.
"Jin Bo probably didn't anticipate his death or the evidence was suddenly uncovered and he didn't have time to submit it."
"From this point, it seems he didn't hide the information in advance."
"Which means, he hid the clues only when suddenly pursued for hunting..."
Xu Liang continued to reason in his mind.
And the trace of escape... is this dilapidated temple.
Meaning, even if he hid it, he buried the clues in the temple!
With this in mind.
Xu Liang furrowed his brow, moving his gaze around, looking at the pitch-black, dusty ruined temple. ππΏπ²ππ πππ»πΌπ―ππ.ππΌπΊ
This ghostly place is incredibly open, how could there be a place to hide something!?
But theoretically speaking, Jin Bo had only this place to hide.
If that's the case... Where could it be hidden?
Just as Xu Liang pondered.
A piece of fluorescence suddenly caught his attention.
This piece of fluorescence formed an acute angle with two lines, with a line extending internally from the center of the angle.
Looking at it this way, it really resembles a directional road sign, like 'β'.
And this symbol is at the edge of the large blood pool where Jin Bo died, with even half of it already soaked and merged into the pool of blood!
This was drawn in the dirt with a finger.
The only person who would draw with a bloody finger on the ground... is Jin Bo!!!
"Wait..."
Xu Liang narrowed his eyes, crouching, looking in the direction indicated.
The direction points to the stone statue at the center of the temple!
"Tap tap..."
Xu Liang stepped forward, circling around the stone statue.
There are no gaps on the statue where things could be hidden.
Below the statue is also a large rock, the place for putting sacrificial offerings had been ransacked long ago.
Xu Liang thought for a moment, then pulled out Luminol, spraying reagents continuously on the statue.
And as a few droplets of liquid floated into the bottle from the air...
A streak of blue light quietly emerged inside the bottle!
The bottle contains a large amount of dirt, where underneath... a hint of fluorescence emerged.
"Found it!!!"
Xu Liang focused his eyes.
He took photos for evidence, then without hesitation, walked up to the altar.
Stretching out his hand, he reached into the stone bottle.
The bottle was already filled with dirt, and the soil was very dry.
But he didn't lose heart, just inching away, before long, a slightly hard object touched his fingertip.
This is...
Plastic?
Xu Liang's pupils contracted, accelerating his hand movements.
Before long...
"Shh!"
He suddenly exerted force and yanked.
In an instant.
An item wrapped in a sealed bag appeared in his hand!
It's a large sealed bag, containing many photos and several pages densely printed with words.
Additionally, a rough look revealed other people's statements and descriptions.
This is what Jin Bo uncovered...
It's also the direct cause of Jin Bo's death, the information Sunzhou fully suppressed from circulating, and numerous people have secretly investigated!!!
Xu Liang intended to look directly.
But suddenly a voice exclaimed by his ear.
"Damn, found it!!!"
"Brother Liang, I found the body!!!"
Xu Liang paused, holding the clues in his hand, and walked out quickly.
"What's wrong!?"
He spoke as he walked, the voice of Wang Chao echoed in his ear again.
"Found it, you were right Brother Liang, these guys buried Jin Bo around here!"
Wang Chao shouted noisily not far away, Xu Liang hurriedly walked over.
At this moment.
The time has reached four thirty.
The night gradually dissipates, a ray of morning sun shines down, the forest is still somewhat dark, but the road is barely visible.
When Xu Liang arrived in front of the other party, he saw a...
pit that had been dug out!
Beside the pit, a few weathered bones were exposed!
From the shape, these correspond to the human skull and hand bones!!!
"Damn it, probably dug out by stray dogs!"
Wang Chao's face looked extremely unpleasant.
The pit wasn't dug very big, judging by the posture, it should have been a hungry stray dog coming to dig for food, and then found the pit where Jin Bo was buried...
But fortunately...
"Jin Bo's body has been found, underneath the pit, there's evidence of blood splatter..."
"This damn thing confirms it's a murder!!!"
Wang Chao spoke angrily.
The investigators, during the investigation, suddenly lost the person... No judicial body in any country can tolerate this matter!
"Keep it under wraps, don't make it public for now," Xu Liang said.
Wang Chao was stunned, "Why?"
Xu Liang didn't speak, he raised his hand, gesturing at the information he retrieved from the temple.
"Once we find Jin Bo, Luo Jun will suspect whether we've found this stuff."
"Once it's suspected, they'll come to verify!"
"The best approach is to not make a statement and wait for the court trial to proceed."
Xu Liang explained.
Wang Chao was stunned, he was more concerned about...
"Brother Liang, what is this thing!?" he asked curiously, looking at the sealed bag in Xu Liang's hand.
The bag contained photos, as well as detailed data.
This... is an environmental pollution identification report?
"I don't know."
Xu Liang shook his head, he placed the slightly weathered sealed bag in front of him.
"Let's open it and see."
He didn't plan to keep it, he reached out and opened the sealed bag, taking out all the documents to look at them page by page.
"Shh~"
He pulled out a piece of paper, from the top it seemed like it was organized by Jin Bo himself, concerning his investigation logic.
Xu Liang placed it in front of him, silently reading.
[October 3, 1999, I was commissioned by local residents to come to Sunshine Primary School to investigate a case of environmental pollution.]
[The victims of the case are residents of this area, especially children and the elderly are badly affected, most of them suffer from organ failure!]
[I suspect it's due to the local water quality, after investigation, I found that Sunzhou's groundwater resources were severely polluted....]
Below this document are several photos and inspection reports.
Which clearly investigate how severe the pollution of Sunzhou's groundwater resources is.
And also the soil composition.
Xu Liang continued to look down.
But only flipped one page....
[No, it's not the water!]
[My body is gradually feeling unwell, but during this period I've never consumed Sunzhou's groundwater resources, this doesn't make sense, I start to think about past experiences...]
[The building! I targeted the building! Or rather the steel!!!]
[I found that the school's building might be the real culprit causing my physical discomfort.]
[After inquiry, I discovered that this batch of construction materials came from Jinyang Steel Plant, produced in 1987, I started to investigate deeply...]
"Steel? What's wrong with the steel?"
Xu Liang murmured, frowning, and continued to look down.
Below this document are several records concerning the school's architecture, traces in all corners.
There wasn't a detailed inspection report.
Until the next page...
And the next page...
There was... just a batch of steel transaction records!
A record of one hundred thousand tons of steel transactions....
And this batch of steel....
The clearest descriptive data!!!
At the moment of seeing these data.
Xu Liang's pupils suddenly constricted, his whole person seemed to be stabbed by a needle, almost dropping the document.
And saw...
On this document, several big characters were prominently written.
And these characters were....
"Radioactively contaminated steel!!!"
[1987, Luo Jun purchased a batch of industrial radioactive contaminated scrap steel from Western Country at a low price, to save costs, did not purchase radiation detection devices before smelting.]
[The smelted construction materials were used in Sunzhou, several nearby city districts, various fields of construction industry, among which Sunshine Primary School is one of the victims, this batch of steel...]
[According to international safety regulations, 0.3 micro Sievert/hour is considered normal.]
[Eastern Country law stipulates 0.114 micro Sievert/hour.]
[Recycling scrap steel, the surface must be below 0.46 micro Sievert/hour.]
[And at Jinyang Steel Plant, during the smelting of contaminated scrap steel, without sorting, industrial radiation sources (Cobalt-60) were mixed in, its micro Sievert reached...]
[246 micro Sievert/hour!]
[A total of... one hundred thousand tons!!!]
Looking at the data.
"Boom~!!!"
Xu Liang's mind went blank, as if a giant bell heavily struck in his mind, exploding like thunder!
