Chapter 476 Dr. Nezu
According to newspaper reports at the time, this big explosion killed more than ten people and injured hundreds of people. It can be said that there was no one in the whole town who was not injured. After being implicated, both the houses and the nearby mountains were all burned to the ground, and the ground was scorched black, making it extremely miserable.
Such a serious explosion naturally attracted the attention of the National Defense Forces, and an investigation team was immediately formed. The truth was quickly found out, and it was announced that the explosion was not a missile or bomb attack, but a time Nezu Masachika, who was the director of the Hokkaido Energy Development Research Institute, violated safety regulations and brought Zilda gas from the research institute to his home laboratory, causing the Zilda gas to leak and mix with air, causing a big explosion.
After the investigation results were announced, it caused an uproar. There has always been a lot of controversy about Zilda gas, which is said to represent the future energy but is extremely dangerous. This accident even made the inventor Nezu Masachika became the target of many people, and no one dared to support him.
As a result, the National Defense Force immediately recovered all the samples and data of Zilda Gas and implemented strict management. They also issued a prohibition order to the Hokkaido Energy Development Research Institute and did not allow them to manufacture and research Zilda gas.
Punishments were issued after the investigation results came out. The Hokkaido Energy Development Research Institute failed to perform its safety management responsibilities, resulting in Zilda Gas being taken away from the institute. As a result, more than ten people were demoted, warned, and a huge fine and compensation.
Masaki Nezu, who took the Zilda gas out of the institute, took the main responsibility for the accident and was expelled from the Hokkaido Energy Development Institute. He will also be tried by the court and is likely to face jail.
"Dad." Asami looked at the report in the newspaper, extremely sad, choked and speechless. She had previously felt that she and Silla were in a situation where they had become ghosts and lived by the underground magma lake. It's terrible. Now I know that my father is even more miserable when he is alive.
His career, family, and the lives of many innocent people were all destroyed because of his carelessness. Over the years, I am afraid that I have been immersed in endless regret and pain. I have thought countless times, what if When he placed the Zilda gas sample, he Be careful, if he didn't take that sample home to study, what if.
But there is no if in life, and there is no way to start over. Everything is a foregone conclusion, and he can only bear this purgatory. The pain, the regret day and night, just living like this.
Maya didn't know how to comfort Asami, so she could only search for news about Nezu Masachika as soon as possible. According to reports, Nezu Masachika sold everything and borrowed a lot of money to barely collect the compensation, because his previous Contribution, subject to imprisonment for ten years.
Chiba Makoto and Maya immediately began to look through the 1998 newspapers, which took longer this time.
The reason is that the big explosion ten years ago caused countless media to compile numerous reports, discussing the dangers of Zilda gas, and the relationship between the inventor and Nezu Masachika who caused the big explosion. How hateful.
But ten years later, few people care about this once high-spirited genius scientist, because everyone has forgotten him. The crater from the explosion has long been filled in, and bigger and more beautiful houses have been built. New residents came in, and not many people remembered what had happened here.
After searching for a long time, I found the news about Nezu Masachika being released from prison in the corner of a newspaper that closed down a few years ago. There was not even a photo, just a few lines, only saying that Nezu Masachika was released from prison. After being released from prison, I returned to my hometown, but I didn’t even mark my hometown address, which shows how hard it was to cope.
After leaving the Sapporo Library, I headed non-stop to Asami's hometown. It wasn't until noon that I arrived at the countryside in Asami's memory, but...
Asami looked out the window at the empty and silent village, her eyes full of confusion, this place is really Is it the village where she grew up?
The road was full of dust and dead branches and leaves. RVs ran over it, leaving two clear tire marks. The houses on both sides were all locked, and the doorways were covered with vegetation, even the gates. They are all in decay, and they creak when the wind blows! Creak! ’ The sound keeps ringing, which must be extremely scary at night. But in Mami's memory, there were many children chasing and playing on the road in the village, leaving behind strings of laughter like silver bells. The old people gathered together in twos and threes, smoking, chatting, and finishing farm work. The young and strong villagers who came back said hello.
When it’s dinner time, smoke rises from every household, the aroma of food wafts out, and light bulbs light up the houses
The whole village is full of vitality and vitality, and is full of laughter and laughter, but now there is not a sound to be heard, and not a single person to be seen.
"How did it become like this?" Asami whispered, her home was getting closer, but she didn't dare to look, for fear that she would see the same decaying and dilapidated houses and overgrown grass. The yard, and the empty home, that would be so sad.
Chiba Cheng turned his head and said softly: "Because the children in the village grew up, went to big cities, took root there, and never came back. Only a few old people who were unwilling to leave followed the village. decay together until they are completely eliminated Passed away."
While speaking, Maya had stopped the RV. Outside was a similarly decayed house, but the door was not locked. The weeds at the door were not lush, and there were still trees in the yard. The green vegetables are obviously inhabited.
Chiba Cheng and Maya breathed a huge sigh of relief. If there is no one here, then they really can only contact the victory team and ask them to help find someone.
Asami, who was extremely excited, got out of the car and knocked on the door, but no one answered, so Chiba Makoto simply pushed the door open and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Dr. Nezu Masachika. Is he here?" < br>
Before he finished speaking, Chiba Makoto walked into the living room and saw a white-haired old man lying motionless on the ground through the gaps in the tables filled with various test tubes. His right hand was dead. He clutched his chest desperately, his face full of pain.
"Dad!" Asami shouted and rushed over immediately, but she was stunned when she saw Nezu's face. In her memory, her father was in his prime, with black hair and handsome appearance, but In front of him was an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face.
"Doctor!" Chiba Cheng ran over quickly, put his finger on the artery in his neck, and could still feel the beating, and immediately shouted to Maya: "Call an ambulance quickly."
" No, this is far from the hospital. Carry him into the car and we will take him to the hospital." Maya said, stepping forward quickly and preparing to help carry the unconscious Nezu Masaki to the RV.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and then a man carrying a medicine box walked in. He was stunned when he saw the situation in the house, and then shouted angrily: "Who are you?" ? What happened to Nejin?"
