Chapter 245 Poisoned?
Feng Cheng's pupils dilated in shock, and her face drained of all color in an instant.
She seemed dazed, her lips trembled slightly, and the words that came out were like murmurs.
"It turns out that the news that circulated online a few days ago was true."
"It really was a mass suicide by dolphins."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood and had such a big reaction, Lin Xiao was afraid that something might happen to her, so he simply opened the door and invited her in.
"Are you alright? You seemed a bit off ever since you came in."
As they were talking, Lin Xiao opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of chilled mineral water, and handed it to Feng Cheng.
The cool touch from the back of her hand instantly pulled Feng Cheng out of her thoughts.
She looked up in a daze.
All I could see was the mineral water bottle pressed against the back of my hand, its surface covered in fine water droplets. As I touched it, the tiny droplets gathered into streams and dripped down, one by one.
Feng Cheng suddenly raised her hand and gripped the bottle, looking up at Lin Xiao with incredibly bright and determined eyes.
"Sister Xiao, we'll stop these things, right?"
Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
"Yes! And it's not just us."
Seeing that she had calmed down, Lin Xiao looked at the person in front of her with some curiosity.
"Your reaction just now... was because you heard about the dolphin committing suicide?"
Feng Cheng hesitated for a long time before finally nodding.
"When I was a child, I went out to play in a speedboat with my parents. I was accidentally swept away by a wave and almost died in the sea."
"It was carried aboard by a passing dolphin."
"So I've always thought of them as little angels in the ocean, and they even asked me for help a few years ago."
Feng Cheng was very proud when she talked about this.
This happened about three or four years ago.
She had just gotten her diving certificate not long ago, and whenever she was interested, she would go to the beach every day.
However, that day she was just swimming in the shallow waters near the coast with her friends.
Unexpectedly, the two dolphins swam straight towards them.
The mother dolphin and her baby dolphin circled around the two of them, making squeaking noises.
At first, she thought the dolphins were just playing with them, but as the dolphins' movements became more and more urgent, they began to sense that something was wrong.
Wearing swimming goggles and diving underwater, Feng Cheng noticed that the baby dolphin's tail was caught in a fishing net, with the net's threads even embedded directly into the dolphin's flesh, causing it to bleed profusely.
But they only came to swim and didn't bring much equipment with them.
There was no other way, so a friend finally borrowed scissors from a vendor at the beach, and after a lot of effort, the two of them finally managed to clean the fishing net that was tangled around the baby dolphin.
Seeing that the baby dolphin was alright, the mother dolphin excitedly nuzzled Feng Cheng before leading the baby dolphin into the deeper sea.
For Feng Cheng, this incident was particularly memorable and unforgettable!
Lin Xiao was also deeply moved by what she heard.
Things will get better, they definitely will!
The investigation team landed in Sichuan Province early the next morning.
Without delay, they directly borrowed a room in the government compound to conduct their inquiry.
The people who came this time were much more professional than those last time; they sorted everything out in just about half an hour.
Lin Xiao didn't even wait for the final result. As soon as she came out of the room, she hurriedly got into Gu Ming's car and booked a ticket to the airport on the spot.
The staff member who was originally going to tell her when the investigation team's announcement would be released was a little slow when leaving the house.
When I looked up, everyone at the door had vanished.
……
Fortunately, it wasn't a holiday period, and there were plenty of high-speed rail tickets and plane tickets available, so Lin Xiao and his group bought their tickets very easily.
We arrived in Yunnan Province around 2 p.m.
As soon as she got off the plane, Chengzi contacted the person waiting for her at the Haicheng Aquatic Ecological Research Center to confirm the pick-up location. After hanging up, Feng Cheng pointed to the exit ahead.
"They said it's right at the exit, you'll see it as soon as you walk over."
"it is good!"
Feng Cheng walked at the front, ready to contact the person who was supposed to meet him at any time.
However, when Lin Xiao reached the exit, he saw Chengzi's face stiffen and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
He acted as if he didn't know anyone.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao peeked out curiously, only to immediately spot the person standing at the exit holding a huge sign.
The sign, with its striking blue background and black lettering, read "Welcome Teacher Lin Xiao."
The man, wearing glasses and with a flushed face, kept nervously adjusting the frames on his nose, peering anxiously inside.
It felt like every second spent there was torture.
Lin Xiao's lips twitched, wishing she had never seen this brand before.
However, no matter what, it was someone's good intention, so Lin Xiao could only bite the bullet and greet the college student-looking person.
"Hello, may I ask if you are from the Haicheng Aquatic Ecology Research Institute..."
Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, the person in front of her suddenly put away the sign and put it behind their back, their smile now showing a hint of excitement.
"Teacher Lin Xiao, I've finally waited for you."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xiao asked in surprise, "You are... Feng Que?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Feng Que looked at his clothes with a blank expression, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them did he look up in confusion.
Lin Xiao shook his head dejectedly.
Previously, they had only communicated by phone, and Feng Que had always been in charge of cooperating with the police. Therefore, she had a somewhat stereotypical feeling that Feng Que must be a reliable middle-aged man.
I never expected... that she'd be so young.
Feng Que didn't think much of it.
During this period, Wen Man had been getting her subordinates to help her every day, and everyone was working themselves to the bone.
Now, our savior has finally arrived!
"Professor Wen Man is still in the laboratory at the research institute. I'll take you to the hotel first."
"No need! Let's go straight to the research institute."
Lin Xiao originally wanted Feng Cheng to go to the hotel she had booked to rest first, but Feng Cheng took this matter very seriously and immediately rejected the suggestion when she heard it.
"I'll go with you."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Lin Xiao could only acquiesce.
When they arrived at the research center, Wen Man had just come out of the laboratory.
She took off her mask, looking exhausted, and when she saw the person standing at the door, a warm smile appeared on her face.
"Lin Xiao, I've heard so much about you! I've finally been waiting for you to come."
She hadn't had time to take off her lab coat yet, and her hair was completely covered by a wig, revealing only an ordinary, unmade-up face.
But it is this face with a faint smile that gives people a sense of inexplicable composure and elegance.
His words and actions were refreshing and pleasant.
Lin Xiao knew Wen Man was referring to her abilities, so she could only smile sheepishly and ask, "What were the results?"
At this point, Wen Man's smile gradually faded, and in the end, only a long sigh remained.
“We dissected and tested the four groups of animals that appeared on the beach.”
"Besides finding plastic waste from fishing nets in their stomachs, all of these animals were poisoned..."
Poisoned? !
