Steel... steel...

Radioactive contaminated steel!

Damn it, when smelting scrap steel, they mixed in radioactive contaminated steel with industrial radioactive sources (Cobalt-60)!!!

Levels as high as 246 microSieverts/hour, living under these conditions for a long time is bound to lead to illnesses such as leukemia... And even common leukemia would be a blessing in disguise...

This thing is a killer weapon; if you stay a little longer, it's possible for a person to be gone just like that!

It would be fine if it was only affecting Sunshine Primary School.

The number of people affected could be limited to one point.

"Ten... ten thousand tons..."

Xu Liang stared intently at the data in his hand, feeling as if his brain was buzzing.

Radioactive contaminated steel was sold by Luo Jun...

Xu Liang had considered that Jinyang Steel Plant might be hiding an issue even more serious than environmental pollution and the illegal discharge of untreated wastewater.

But he really didn't expect...

The other party would dare to be so bold!!!

Luo Jun really cares for money more than life, and this stuff that others pay to get rid of, he actually bought at a low price... No!

Perhaps it wasn't a purchase.

But the sellers themselves were eager to throw away this hot potato, possibly giving Luo Jun money to help dispose of it.

The so-called low-price purchase... is likely to make the accounts look acceptable.

"Steel with industrial radioactive sources (Cobalt-60) was made into rebar and distributed to various markets..."

Xu Liang muttered and, after snapping back to reality, was instantly covered in goosebumps.

"This... lunatic!!!"

He couldn't bring himself to imagine how many people would be affected by the Jinyang Steel Plant.

Even less could he bear to think about the turmoil that would ensue if this matter broke out...

No.

Perhaps it's not just turmoil.

It's a damn earthquake!!!

Wang Chao, beside him, was also shaken to the core as he looked at the document.

Although he didn't have Xu Liang's comprehensive understanding, the words radioactive contaminated scrap steel were clear enough!

"Brother... Brother Liang, what should we do..."

Wang Chao gulped and looked at Xu Liang with fear in his eyes.

"This case... isn't something we can intervene in, right..."

To be honest.

When he took time off from the police station, he really just came to have fun abroad.

After all, Xu Liang is his half-brother from another mother, how could his own brother deceive him!?

Coming to Sunzhou, it was indeed a lot of fun.

Feasting, sneaking into the morgue, digging graves and exhuming corpses, stealing bodies and cars, performing autopsies in the wild mountains...

But he really didn't expect... it would be this thrilling!

"How many people would be affected..." Wang Chao said with lingering fear.

"I don't know."

Xu Liang was also gradually calming down at this moment.

He stared intently at the document in his hand, struggling to suppress his body's instinctive trembling caused by adrenaline.

"What should we do?" Wang Chao asked softly.

Xu Liang didn't speak.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Pop!"

The flame from the lighter ignited, scorching the tobacco, and Xu Liang took a deep drag.

As his chest rose and fell, a large amount of nicotine filled his lungs, slowly suppressing his burning anxiety.

Xu Liang looked at the gradually whitening horizon.

He lowered his head again, staring at the corpse on the ground and the document in his hands.

At this point, there's no reason not to continue investigating the case.

"The stakes are enormous; we need to investigate thoroughly before reporting."

Xu Liang said.

The safest approach is to report all information to Upper City now!

But it's a bit risky; if Jin Bo's investigation is false, then his career... will come to an end, and he'll have to open a restaurant and become a chef next.

Of course, the probability of the evidence being true is very high.

After all, if it were false, Jin Bo wouldn't need to die.

Still, speaking frankly...

It's just a probability!

"Verification, we need to verify, we must validate this evidence!"

Xu Liang's eyes hardened; he now knew what needed to be done.

In investigations.

It's all about providing evidence and verification!

Right now they had only done 'providing evidence', meaning presenting the evidence, without performing any verification!

"Verification... we're not handing it over?" Wang Chao's eyes widened.

"No need, just follow my lead."

Xu Liang immediately dismissed the suggestion.

This case has enormous implications, involving many, and according to protocol, submitting the evidence requires a step-by-step review.

But then comes the problem.

Ten thousand tons of radioactive contaminated steel imported by sea...

Honestly, he can't even understand how Luo Jun managed to get it in!

If not handled properly.

"We might become the second Jin Bo."

Xu Liang said quietly.

As soon as he spoke, Wang Chao fell silent.

The two looked down at the ground, where the body had long decayed into white bones and was gnawed out by wild dogs.

The two of them have connections.

But no matter how strong the connections, they only have one life.

Thinking of this.

Xu Liang suddenly narrowed his eyes and cautiously scanned the surroundings.

At present, the dawn was beginning to break in the horizon.

"This place is not safe for long!"

"Chao, you dig up the body and take it away, I'll go to the abandoned temple to collect samples."

Determined, Xu Liang started to organize the plan.

With that said, he took some pictures at the scene and immediately returned to the abandoned temple.

And Wang Chao, looking at the deeply buried body, smacked his lips and then started arduously scraping with the dead wood beside him, using it as a shovel.

When Xu Liang returned with the samples, he took the camera and snapped a 'click' at the scene.

Then...

"Crash~!"

The decaying white bones were swept away with the clothes.

The two quickly headed down the barren mountain, and in no time, their figures disappeared...

...

...

March 11.

When the time reached nine in the morning.

In Sunzhou, a car suddenly stopped at the entrance of Punk Forensic Identification and Appraisal Agency.

Xu Liang and Wang Chao, with exhausted expressions, got out of the car from both sides and quickly entered the appraisal agency.
