When Zhang Weidong, the head of Gengcun Village, heard Wang Fugui's words, he suddenly raised his head regardless of the pain.

"What? Poisoned?"

The villagers also looked at Wang Fugui.

Du Chunling said angrily.

"Who is this blind person who would poison our Geng Village? Our village has invited her to provoke her!"

The villagers also began to express their dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, who poisoned our whole village?"

"It can't be someone from the village, right?"

"No way."

Some people even made conjectures.

Wang Fugui didn't think about this when he arrived. After the villagers were cured, he could investigate this aspect.

The top priority now is not to find out who the murderer is, but to quickly cure the villagers' illnesses.

Wang Fugui took out his homemade detoxification pills and asked Zhang Jingru and Yang Yiran to distribute them to the villagers.

After taking the detoxification pills, the health conditions of the villagers have indeed improved.

Seeing that the villagers had basically recovered, Wang Fugui began to discuss the cause of the poisoning with Zhang Weidong.

"What do you think happened this time?"

"Are you from the village?"

Zhang Weidong didn't believe it was the villagers who poisoned her.

The villagers of Geng Village have always been very united. Although there are sometimes quarrels between neighbors, they are all from the same village.

With such a cruel method of poisoning, and poisoning an entire village, he could not imagine that anyone would resent an entire village.

Wang Fugui actually felt that the idea that the villagers were poisoned was a bit unreasonable.

So what is the reason why the villagers collectively are in this situation?

"Is there anything in common that you must use every day?"

Zhang Weidong thought carefully.

The only common thing that every household uses is water.

Who can live without water?

"water!"

When Wang Fugui heard this, he suddenly realized.

Yes, water!

"But how could this water be poisonous? And who poisoned the water?"

Wang Fugui felt that it was useless for them to guess here. It was better to ask people from the Water Quality Inspection Bureau to take some water samples and test them.

Zhang Weidong agreed very much with Wang Fugui's idea, and he immediately called someone from the city's Water Quality Inspection Bureau.

Not long after, people from the Water Quality Inspection Bureau came. They took some domestic water from Zhang Weidong's house and some water from a pond in Geng Village.

Before leaving, people from the Water Quality Inspection Bureau told Zhang Weidong that the test would take three days at the earliest.

Zhang Weidong doesn't care about the length of time now. As long as he can find out the cause of their poisoning, it will be worth waiting no matter how long.

Wang Fugui was also wandering outside the Gengcun Medical Office when he suddenly discovered an additional building to the west of Gengcun.

"Weidong, what is that?"

Wang Fugui pointed to the building that suddenly appeared.

Zhang Weidong looked at the house not far away and said.

"Oh, that's a steel factory that just came to invest in our village recently. As you know, you brought Huangyan Village out, and I also want to do something for our Geng Village."

Wang Fugui whispered the words "steel factory" in his mouth.

Now he had some suspicion that the mass poisoning in Gengcun was caused by the steel plant.

Zhang Weidong asked suspiciously when Wang Fugui stopped talking.

"You wouldn't suspect it was a steel plant..."

Wang Fugui nodded silently.

He was indeed a little suspicious of the steel plant, because when the steel plant processes the collected steel, it often needs to use chemicals to dilute the scrap, and the wastewater produced after dilution is discharged to the daily domestic water supply of Gengcun without treatment.

Inside, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I'm just guessing. You need to go to the steel plant to know the details."

Zhang Weidong didn't expect that the steel factory he brought in might be the source of poisoning for the entire village, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

It was originally for the sake of the happy life of the whole village. Unexpectedly, not only did it not improve the life of the whole village, but it actually threatened the life safety of the whole village.

He stood outside the infirmary and looked at the bustling villagers inside, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Wang Fugui stood behind Zhang Weidong, patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Weidong, we are just guessing now. If it is really the steel factory, it is because they did not follow the regulations and discharged sewage privately. It has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Weidong looked remorseful, if only he hadn't brought this steel factory in.

"When this steel plant was going to be built in our Geng Village, I told their person in charge in advance that they must follow the regulations. Their person in charge also assured me many times that there would be no violations, so I agreed with them.

Build a factory.”

"Actually, I sent people to check it a few times before. The factory is indeed draining water according to regulations. I didn't expect..."

Wang Fugui had long guessed that this might be the case. In general, informal steel plants often skip this step and discharge wastewater directly because the machines for purifying wastewater are too expensive.

The discharged wastewater flows into rivers and fields without treatment, and some even seeps into the ground, eventually causing the villagers' domestic water to be polluted.

Villagers who cannot live without water will inevitably accumulate toxins in their bodies due to long-term consumption of polluted water. Children and the elderly with poor health will be the first to develop problems over time.

But it's not too late, as long as the source of water pollution is found, everything can be solved.

"I gave all the villagers detoxification pills, and then they had to have a good rest and slowly recover."

"Doctor Zhang, please call Shangguan and ask her to send some water from Huangyan Village. Recently, the villagers in Geng Village have stopped drinking the water in Geng Village."

Weidong was even more embarrassed to hear this.

He simply didn't know how to repay Wang Fugui for his help.

After Wang Fugui arranged these, he looked at Zhang Weidong and said seriously.

"Village Chief Zhang, find two or three young adults who are almost recovered, and let's go to the steel factory to take a look at the situation."

Zhang Weidong hesitated.

"If we go there with such a big fanfare, won't we alert others?"

Wang Fugui smiled.

"We are just going for daily inspections, not to catch ghosts. There is no need to alert others."

Zhang Weidong suddenly realized.

"Yes, we just go on daily inspections, not come to seek justice."

"Village Chief Wang, please wait for a moment. I'll be back soon."

Zhang Weidong turned around and walked into the infirmary. After a while, he brought out several tall and strong young men, including Li Siwa.

After he introduced a few people's names to Wang Fugui, he led Wang Fugui and others towards the steel plant.

Li Siwa didn't know why the village chief took them to the steel factory, so she asked directly on the way.

"Village chief, why are we going to the steel factory?"

Zhang Weidong's tone was unkind.

"Take Village Chief Wang to see the 'good companies' in our village."

Several young people did not know about sewage discharge, and they foolishly thought that the village chief was taking them to visit the steel factory with Wang Fugui.

After a while, a few people arrived at the location of the steel plant. The location of the steel plant was very inconspicuous, but it happened to be built next to the river.
