Chapter 288 The painful price

The country's machines were running quickly and quietly. On the night when Wu Guorui presided over the meeting, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine immediately conducted a sample inspection of Zhibao milk powder sold in the national market. It was found that all the milk powders being inspected were detected to contain toxic chemicals. On that night, the industrial and commercial bureaus across the country received a notice from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to seize Zhibao milk powder sold in the national market overnight. At the same time, Zhibao Group received a notice from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued a notice to suspend production inspections. At the same time, a team led by the Quality Supervision Bureau to set up a joint investigation team and set off overnight. At the same time, it entered the Zhibao milk powder production base just before dawn the next morning to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the production process of Zhibao milk powder.

Faced with the sudden ban from the country and the working group entering the Zhibao milk powder production base, the upper level of Zhibao Group was also caught off guard by the matter. Looking at the notice of suspension inspection from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, Zhibao Group CEO Ding Jianjun looked worried. Last night, he received a report from his subordinates that all the Zhibao milk powder on the market had been sealed, the first thing he thought of was whether he offended someone and was retaliated. However, when he received a call from a friend in the early morning, he realized that the milk powder produced by his company was found to contain toxic chemicals. Faced with this sudden news, Ding Jianjun ordered his subordinate milk powder factory to immediately organize workers to process a batch of milk powder without additives overnight before the inspection team arrived, and transport and destroy two additive raw materials in the milk powder.

Because someone leaked the news in advance, when the working group entered the Zhibao Milk Powder Factory and inspected the production and raw materials of Zhibao Milk Powder, it was found that the raw materials of Zhibao Milk Powder and the finished products produced in the factory did not contain any toxic chemical components.

Faced with this kind of investigation results, the person in charge of the investigation team was very puzzled. When inspecting the milk powder on the market overnight, there were problems with each pack of milk powder, but no problem was found when the finished and semi-finished products in the factory were found. So when was the milk powder sold on the market contaminated and how was it contaminated? Thinking of this problem, the person in charge of leading the inspection immediately reported the inspection results to his immediate boss, and finally reported them layer by layer, and went directly to Wu Guorui.

Wu Tianlin heard the following report and said that the raw materials and finished products of the milk powder factory were not problematic, and he felt more certain that there was a problem with Zhibao milk powder. After all, there was a sudden inspection of Zhibao milk powder across the country overnight, but no pack of milk powder without problems was found. This was enough to explain everything. So he immediately issued an instruction to the joint investigation team: "There is problems with Zhibao milk powder that cannot be questioned, so finding out the length of time of the milk powder being contaminated is one of the key factors in determining the nature of the incident. If the time is short, it is not ruled out that it is caused by accidental events or emergencies; if the time is long, it cannot rule out that the possibility of pollution caused by organized and planned criminal acts cannot be ruled out. Therefore, I hope that all departments must be in the spirit of being responsible to the party and the people, not to indulge or cover up, and do their best to find out the truth as soon as possible, deal with the relevant responsible persons of the incident seriously, effectively safeguard consumers' rights and interests, and also harm the babies with justice."

Although Wu Tianlin's news made the country's machines run in advance, the investigation team three days after entering the Zhibao milk powder production base, two children were sent to the hospital for kidney stones. Then, many pediatric hospitals across the country found that many children were sent to the hospital for examination due to urine discoloration or granules in their urine. After a week, the number of children with kidney stones suddenly increased, and several leukemia cases appeared again. These sick children had eaten Zhibao milk powder.

When the parents of those sick children found this reason, they naturally thought of the fact that the industrial and commercial department sealed Zhibao milk powder a few days ago. They immediately thought that the milk powder had problems, so they took out the remaining milk powder in their homes for inspection. The result was that they didn't know if they did not check it. After a while, they were shocked. In a moment, the entire China was shocked. Angry people found Zhibao's distributors and asked them to give an explanation. Some people even smashed the distribution points of Zhibao milk powder because their children were seriously ill.

When people flocked to Zhibao milk powder distribution center to discuss the argument, Zhibao milk powder group also held a press conference, claiming that Zhibao milk powder had undergone 1,100 tests before leaving the factory and there was no toxic chemicals at all. The milk powder containing toxic chemicals was investigated on the market, which was obviously a malicious conspiracy by illegal elements to target Zhibao milk powder, and announced that they would recover more than 8,000 tons of milk powder sold on the market. At the same time, they said that they were also victims, but from a humanitarian standpoint, they were willing to be responsible for the cost of children's treatment, but refused to make any compensation.

The milk powder incident was shocked by the whole country. Two weeks later, Donghai reported 59 cases and 1 death. Infants with kidney stones and leukemia cases occurred in other places across the country. It is generally believed that these cases are related to the consumption of Zhibao milk powder, so it is impossible for Zhibao Group to cover up this matter. With the intervention of the public security organs, the investigation immediately made significant progress. With the deep digging of the public security officers, the middle-level cadres of Zhibao Group did not dare to conceal the formula of the milk powder to inspect the night before the inspection team arrived. The factory received instructions from the head office to destroy some raw materials.

Once the country's machines are running, the speed and efficiency are extremely terrible. Soon, Ding Jianjun, the CEO of Zhibao Milk Powder Group, and others were all secretly arrested. As the case digging deeper, shocking truth slowly surfaced. It turned out that in order to increase the protein content in the milk powder, Zhibao Milk Powder Group artificially added two chemical raw materials to the milk powder, resulting in the toxic substance content in the milk powder reaching 96 mg per kilogram, which is nearly 40 times higher than the national standard.

These illegal businessmen do whatever they want to make huge profits, but they did not expect that they did things that were unreasonable for money, which eventually led to the death of six children and more than 300,000 children getting sick.

Wu Tianlin was not as concerned about the hot milk powder incident outside, except for occasionally paying attention to it, because he knew that it was not something he should worry about. If he wanted to worry, it would be better to focus on the patient.

When everyone's attention was attracted by the milk powder incident, another thing that happened in Donghai City was actively ignored by people. Kou Huanchun, the captain of Donghai City Criminal Police Detachment, followed Ouyang Zhenhua's order, immediately organized police forces to go to Chengqiao County for investigation that day. After two weeks of secret investigation, he finally found out the whole thing and immediately reported the investigation results of the entire case to Ouyang Zhenhua.

After listening to Zhang Huanchun's report, Ouyang Zhenhua did not call Wu Tianlin immediately and told Wu Tianlin about the results of the case investigation. Instead, he rushed to the Donghai Municipal Party Committee and reported the accidental case to Chen Yukun, Secretary of the Donghai Municipal Party Committee.

Ouyang Zhenhua came outside Chen Yukun's office and saw Chen Yukun's secretary Deng Qiuping busy sorting the materials. He reached out and knocked on the door and asked with a smile: "Secretary Deng! What are you busy with?"

When Deng Qiuping saw Ouyang Zhenhua standing at the door, he smiled and replied, "Ouch! Director Ouyang is here! What else can I do? Isn't it because of milk powder? Director Ouyang, are you looking for Secretary Chen? Secretary Chen is listening to Director Xiao of the Quality Inspection Bureau and Director Liu of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau report on his work. Please sit here for a while."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenhua found a chair and sat down. He smiled and said to Deng Qiuping, who was about to make tea for him, saying, "Secretary Deng! I am not a guest, aren't you a visit? I'm just waiting for Secretary Chen here, go and do your business!"

Deng Qiuping was not polite when he heard Ouyang Zhenhua's words, and replied with a smile: "Director Ouyang! Then I won't say hello to you. Tea is in the cabinet, so if you want to drink tea, just make it yourself." As he said that, he sat at the desk and busy organizing the materials.

Ouyang Zhenhua waited for about half an hour and saw Director Xiao of the Quality Inspection Bureau and Director Liu of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau walking out of Chen Yukun's office with dark faces. It was obvious that the two of them must have been scolded by Chen Yukun inside just now. Chen Yukun stood up from the chair and asked them: "Old Xiao! Old Liu! Secretary Chen is in a bad mood today?"

Director Xiao of the Quality Inspection Bureau heard Ouyang Zhenhua's words, and was called by Chen Yukun because Ouyang Zhenhua was also called by Chen Yukun for the milk powder. He smiled wryly with embarrassment: "Director Ouyang! It's not that damn milk powder. That damn Ding Jianjun is simply a ungrateful wolf. Secretary Chen is in a very bad mood today. You should be careful when you go in later!"

Ouyang Zhenhua heard Director Xiao's words and said thank you with a smile. Then he walked to Chen Yukun's office door and knocked on the door. After hearing Chen Yukun's response from inside, he pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Chen Yukun sitting at the desk with an angry face, he quickly reported respectfully: "Secretary Chen! I have something very important to report to you."

When Chen Yukun saw that the person coming was Ouyang Zhenhua, he immediately reached out to signal Ouyang Zhenhua to sit down, and then said to Ouyang Zhenhua: "Zhenhua! I was about to ask Xiao Deng to inform you to come here immediately, but I didn't expect you to come first." Chen Yukun said this, paused, and then said to Ouyang Zhenhua: "Zhenhua! The milk powder incident has made the public very dissatisfied with the government, and there are several suspects who are still missing. During this period, your public security work pressure will be relatively greater, so you must do your ideological education to the police. You must not conflict with the masses in the work of maintaining stability. You must not fight back, and not fight back, so as to avoid the conflicts continuing to deteriorate."
