After deciding on the plan, Director Xue simply played it out to the end, only saying that he would discuss it when he went back, and put the recruitment matter on hold for the time being.
Deputy Director Qin also wanted to persuade Director Xue to stay for a meal, but Director Xue refused and drove away directly.
In the afternoon, Director Xue and his party had arrived in City D.
People from the Propaganda Department of City D had already received the news and sent people from the Propaganda Department to greet Director Xue.
"We welcome CCTV leaders to come and inspect."
The head of the Propaganda Department of City D is a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a somewhat stout figure.
"Minister Lu is joking, what kind of inspection? We are here for the last major transnational drug trafficking case on March 19th. I am afraid we have to trouble you to cooperate during this period."
Director Xue said with a warm smile.
3. The major transnational drug trafficking case on 19th was the one photographed by Nie Cai. Under Dai Sanye’s explanation, many people in D City were also implicated.
But what he said was actually just a cover. The fact that he came to film the drug trafficking case was fake, but the secret visit to the Lanxiang Chemical Factory was the real thing.
"Of course we will cooperate. We support the anti-drug work, but Director Xue has come all the way. Why don't you come and have a casual meal first, and then we can talk about work?"
Minister Lu looked at Director Xue cautiously and said.
"It's easy to say, let's do it like this. It's already past three o'clock, so I probably won't be able to do any work today."
Director Xue's attitude this time was completely opposite to that in City N. He seemed to have forgotten his work.
However, Director Xue showed such an attitude, and Minister Lu showed joy on his face.
Minister Lu has been working in the Propaganda Department all year round. He knows that the biggest fear for CCTV reporters is not that they eat and drink, but also take souvenirs and the like.
What scares them most is that they work hard, don't get any oil or salt, and don't take any benefits from the local government.
Many people in City D were implicated in the huge transnational drug trafficking case on March 19, especially in the public security and border defense system. Many people took advantage of Dai Sanye.
If Director Xue is really determined to dig deeper, CCTV's reporters have the power to "reach the heavens to hear", and the political lives of those who are exposed will probably be over.
This kind of case involves too much, and usually the task force will turn a blind eye to the non-principal culprits, but it will be different if someone from CCTV exposes it.
In order to calm public opinion, the task force will definitely take "special care" of the exposed areas. After this in-depth investigation, I don't know how many officials will be frightened and unable to sleep.
Therefore, the top leader of City D personally told Minister Lu to follow Director Xue closely throughout the process and treat him with the same vigilance as dealing with the plague god. Director Xue must not be allowed to "act randomly" and affect the overall "stable" situation.
"Our D city is a remote mountainous area. There is not much good stuff, but some game. Director Xue, it is a coincidence that you are back here. People from the Forestry Public Security Bureau happened to investigate and deal with a batch of smuggled pangolins, which were all frozen from neighboring countries. It's not easy for you to come all the way here, so let the chef make you a pot of good soup today!"
Minister Lu said enthusiastically.
"Isn't this bad? Pangolins are protected wild animals."
Director Xue said with a troubled look on his face.
"It's okay. These pangolins have been stripped and frozen, and the bionic fabrics used for release are all needed to be disposed of anyway. How to dispose of them is not ours to say?"
Minister Lu smiled and persuaded: "Even Li Shizhen said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that pangolin is a great tonic. It can stimulate menstruation, release breast milk, eliminate carbuncles and drain pus, and remove blood stasis and dissipate stagnation. It is a miracle medicine. "
Due to their work, the forest police in City D often investigate and deal with some wild protected animals. These wild protected animals are generally highly protected and large in number and dare not be moved. They will find the media and release them in a high-profile manner or hand them over to relevant units.
National first-level protected animals are eye-catching everywhere, and there is no need to destroy their future just for the sake of food and drink.
However, the small number of wild animals with lower protection levels have suffered, especially wild boars, pangolins and other snakes. Most of them have entered the bellies of various leaders.
"Well, if you have such a good thing, you won't be polite... Let's get in the car first and get the equipment. In our business, the machine is where the person is, and the machine is dead and the man is dead..."
Director Xue made a joke, got back into the car, and asked the people on the car to get off.
The people in the car got out of the car carrying equipment boxes, and followed them chatting and laughing, accompanied by other staff from the Propaganda Department.
"Keep an eye on me. Even if they go to the toilet, I can't let them disappear from sight. Do you understand?"
Looking at Director Xue and his party, Minister Lu's face was slightly gloomy, and he explained to a subordinate next to him.
"Yes, Minister Lu, don't worry, I will get them drunk this afternoon so that they can't go anywhere!"
The subordinate patted his chest and assured.
"They won't be able to stay long. I'll give you a big credit for completing this mission!"
Minister Lu patted the subordinate on the shoulder and said sincerely.
It's just... He didn't know at all that there were originally six people in Director Xue's group, but now there were only four left, and the equipment boxes were already empty, with only one or two machines left for show. .
The two people who mysteriously disappeared had already taken their equipment, rented another car, and quietly drove to Maopu County in City D...
Maopu County is located at the foot of the largest mountain range in Province X. According to the plan of City D, one of the large chemical plants is located near Maopu County.
This Maopu County is located at the foot of the mountains and is rich in a special red fungus called Erythromycin. This Erythromycete cannot be cultivated artificially and can only be collected in the wild, so it is extremely precious.
Just one strain of Erythromycosis can dye the whole pot of soup brown, making the whole pot of soup delicious. It is also said to have the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing the skin.
In the past, this Trichoderma sp. was well-known at home and abroad, but due to pollution, it is now extremely difficult to find an authentic Trichoderma sp., and the price of one or two in the market has reached four digits.
A silver van with a license plate from City D was driving on the road in Maopu County. The four people in the car were silent, and no one spoke at all.
Nie Cai was also in the car. He was holding his cell phone and wasted no time in searching for information about the Lanxiang Chemical Plant. This information might be useful at some point.
An open lake suddenly appeared in front of him. At this time, Qian Xiaohao, who was driving, suddenly spoke, pointing to the lake in front of him.
"We're almost there. Mapo Village ahead is the most polluted area."
He parked the car on the side of the road and looked down on the mountain road, but his face was a little heavy.
"Are you at the end of the field?"
asked a reporter in the car who looked more mature and steady.
"That's right, Brother Ouyang, it's almost here. The land near the lake is fertile and there are patches of fertile farmland, but now it has been laid waste by the highly toxic sewage discharged by Lanxiang Chemical Plant."
Qian Xiaohao sighed and looked at the tall chimneys not far away with a helpless tone.
Lanxiang Chemical Factory is a star enterprise in D City and a major taxpayer. It is one of the largest manufacturers of cyanide and its derivatives in China. Its main product is sodium cyanide, which is highly toxic and has a great impact on the environment. .
At this time, everyone knew that they had reached the end of the field, so they opened the door of the van and got out of the car.
But as soon as they opened the car door, a pungent smell hit them.
Nie Cai took a closer look and saw that the water in the lake had already turned milky yellow and was completely polluted by industrial wastewater. When he took a closer look, the pungent smell almost made him suffocate.
"Mapo Village is the closest to the chemical plant and is also the most affected. This year's situation is more serious than last year."
Qian Xiaohao sighed and said: "If I could have made this news and prompted them to treat industrial sewage, maybe the result would not be so bad..."
"This is not your fault, it's just society's fault."
The experienced reporter patted him on the shoulder and said: "Besides, there is still a chance now, isn't there
"That's right. We are here carefully prepared this time. I don't believe there is no way to expose this chemical factory!"
Qian Xiaohao gritted his teeth and said when he thought of the way the chemical factory treated him.
Covering his nose, Qian Xiaohao glanced at Nie Cai next to him and said, "Nie Cai, don't say I won't give you a chance. Now that we're at the end of the field, I'll give you two choices. One is to start an unannounced visit in Mapo Village to collect materials. , and the other is to take a detour to the mountain, take pictures of the chemical plant directly from the mountain, and then sneak into the chemical plant. Which of these two methods do you choose?"
Nie Cai pondered for a moment, and then said: "I choose to start from Mapo Village."
"I knew you would choose this, you coward."
Qian Xiaohao sneered and said, "If you are timid, just say so. The most important thing to be a CCTV reporter is to be bold and careful. Although sneaking into a chemical plant is dangerous, the footage you get is more precious."
"Whatever you say, I just think this method is more reliable. If your method can be successful, the other party will not discover it last time."
Nie Cai frowned and said coldly.
It has nothing to do with courage. No matter how dangerous the place is, how dangerous can a mere Lanxiang chemical plant be
However, Nie Cai didn't know much about the background of this news. Starting from the villagers, he might be able to learn a lot of useful information.
"Since we have different opinions, let's just raise our hands and vote. Those who agree with my plan should stand with me. Those who agree with Nie Cai's plan should stand with him."
Qian Xiaohao rolled his eyes and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two people immediately moved their positions and came to Qian Xiaohao's side.
"You see, your plan is unpopular."
Seeing people coming towards him, Qian Xiaohao couldn't help but laugh and said proudly.
In fact, this is easy to understand. After all, Qian Xiaohao conducted an in-depth investigation of the Lanxiang Chemical Factory a year ago and has experience. His analysis is more reasonable than Nie Cai.
