My mother said, "I just beg you not to die outside, after all, your mother is still waiting for you to send me to the end." ”

My mom always thinks that my job is very dangerous, and I do admit that in the journalist industry, the danger factor must exist, but it is still not fatal, I will interview at most about personnel disputes, that kind of homicide cases are rarely involved, and this is a society under the rule of law, my mother always thinks that I have touched too many things that others should not know, and one day I will definitely be killed.

I always felt that the old lady was scaring herself, when I chose this major, my mother agreed that I would easily be a host in front of the TV station, but who knows, the truth is not as she imagined, where there are bizarre cases, where natural and man-made disasters occur, where is the most unsafe, I will always be alone in front.

My mom said that my job cost her ten years.

Now that I have divorced and picked up my job again, my mother's worries have naturally come up, I think, people are old, in fact, there is really no other pursuit, I hope that my children I will stay by my side and accompany me, but now I should make her frightened, but in this world, what we love, all need to pay a certain price, I am not afraid.

After I packed up my things, I walked up to my mom and said with a smile, "What are you worried about, why don't you just do an interview? Don't worry, we have sent so many people from the station, and I'm not the only one." ”

My mom sighed and said, "I must have owed you in my last life." ”

Then he turned around and left my door.

In addition, Sister Tan called me, probably urging me to rush to the airport, I didn't have time to stay longer, I went out with my suitcase, after we arrived at the airport, all my colleagues arrived, and a bunch of people didn't speak, and they contacted and communicated with the staff who rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

After getting on the plane, I glanced at my phone, there were no missed calls or strange text messages in it, and I turned off the plane before takeoff, reminded by the flight attendant.

We arrived at 12 o'clock in the evening in Zhangyu County, which is a rather backward village, because of the topography, the whole village is almost cut off from the outside world, a village of about 50 or 60 people, the whole village has only a school made of thatched huts, and there are some old, weak, sick and disabled.

The only way to enter the village was a narrow bridge, and below it was a cliff more than ten meters high, and when we passed in the middle of the night, we were so frightened that our legs were weak.

Xiao Wang, the photographer who followed me, opened his mouth directly: "Fuck, I'm afraid of heights." ”

Sister Tan, who was walking like a fly, heard it, and immediately said, "Xiao Wang, are you still not a man?" Miss Charlais hasn't said anything yet. ”

To be honest, I was furious at the time, but I saw that everyone didn't speak, so I endured it.

Photographer Xiao Wang's face turned pale with fright, but in order to prove that he was indeed a real man in front of Sister Tan, he didn't say a word after that, and walked all the way forward with his eyes closed.

When we finally entered the village, it was raining heavily and it was the middle of the night, so we went back to the farmhouse to rest for fear of disturbing the rest of the villagers.

Before dawn the next morning, Sister Tan came to knock on the door, saying that she was going to take us to the deceased's home, and the staff who went out to interview were all a little drowsy, but when we walked to the door of the deceased's family, they were all awake, because more than a dozen corpses were all placed in the mourning hall, and there were Taoist priests constantly chanting strange things.

To tell the truth, the sky is not yet bright, it is still in a state of smoke, and more than a dozen corpses suddenly appear in front of you, and it is fake that you are not awake.

I've rested for too long, and I've been in the city for too long, and in the face of such a scene, I feel that my back is cold.

There were two or three people kneeling in the mourning hall crying, intermittently, miserably, about the families of the deceased.

Sister Tan was the first to rush in without saying a word, and the staff who came in advance had already communicated with the village chief here, so when we walked in, no one stopped us, but an old man in his sixties came to greet us and walked in.

He led us to the backyard, and as we passed by the mourning hall, I glanced at the dozen or so corpses, all of them young and strong, middle-aged men, white and blue, with purple lips, giving people a poisonous phenomenon.

I took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in my heart.

When we arrived in the backyard, the old man was sitting by the window smoking a dry cigarette with a bamboo tube, and his whitish head was full of blue smoke and swirling.

He told us about the general situation here, saying that the dozen or so middle-aged men all died of gas poisoning, and the reason for the poisoning was naturally because they worked in a chemical factory in the town, which was a special job, because they had to come into contact with a lot of harmful substances to the body, so the salary was naturally high, and in the case of high wages, of course, they had to bear the risk of their own physical injury.

But there are still a lot of people to do this kind of work, and it is very sought-after, most people dare not do it for a long time, and when the money is enough, they will quit and not do it.

And these men only joined the company a month ago, logically speaking, such a thing should not have happened in a month, but because of the wrong placement of materials by the employees of the chemical plant, the harmful gases in the place where the more than a dozen men worked were more than ten times more than usual, because it was a closed space, they didn't notice it at the time, but they felt that the unpleasant smell was much stronger than usual, so they didn't care about continuing to work until midnight, but who knew that the next morning these dozen people wanted to die in four hours.

The old man said that the families themselves had to seek compensation from the people of the chemical plant for the deaths of more than 10 people, after all, they all had wives and children, and the pillars of the family died unexpectedly, and the family had no financial resources, so how could they raise their children?

Reparations are a matter of course.

But who knew that when the village chief on their side went to talk to the people from the chemical plant, the other party directly swept their village chief out of the house, and also showed them the contracts signed by the dozen or so men on the first day of employment.

There is a clause in the contract that the factory does not bear the risk to personal health, the cooperation is voluntary, and the factory is not responsible for accidental death or physical health problems at work.

The chemical plant said that this was a dangerous job, and that they had already declared that the work was dangerous before they joined the company, that they agreed to the terms and signed it voluntarily, and that there was no coercion, and that more than a dozen people died unexpectedly, and they could only give some consolation money out of humanitarianism, and they were not responsible for all the rest of the compensation, nor did they accept it.

The old man said that they had been trying to discuss with the people on the factory side for the past few days, but the people on the factory side refused to meet them, and they had no choice but to find a way out of the media.

The old man took a deep breath of dry smoke, sighed and said, "It's all poor babies, if it weren't for feeding the babies, who would fight with their lives." ”

I asked, "How is the police handling it now?"

The old man shook his head and said, "The police said that they don't care about this matter, he said that they are willing to buy and sell, and they can't control it." ”

When Sister Tan heard this, she laughed, she said: "If I hire someone to kill someone, and the person dies, and I give him money, then the police can't take care of it?"

The old man sighed and said, "It's as easy as you think, I heard that the director of the police station here is the brother-in-law of the owner of the chemical plant." ”

The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "In a small place like ours, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one cares about it. ”

I said, "Did the deceased have an autopsy?"

The old man said, "Yes, the town did it, but the hospital didn't give us the report." ”

I said, "Why?"

The old man said, "And why? Chen Lao Wu of the chemical factory, but the landlord of this place, he is the king here, and no one can touch him." ”

After the old man told us the basic situation, not long after, the family members of the deceased suddenly rushed over, and there was a cry at the door, howling that we must get justice for their husband.

The howl shook the room.

Frightened, all our staff hurriedly stepped forward, immediately helped them up, and calmed them down for a while before giving up.

After we understood what had happened, we went to the mourning hall again, and the corpses were still lying there silently, as if they were asleep.

Obviously, the weather outside is a bit stuffy, but the inside is so cold that it doesn't look good, after we leave here, we naturally have to rush to the chemical plant to continue to understand the situation, on the way with us to the editor Wang Ling said to Sister Tan that what happened this time is a bit unnovel, and asked Sister Tan really want to use it to make the beginning?

It is also true that there are too many similar murders like this in society, and TV stations have a bad chance to broadcast them, and many stations don't even bother to send people to interview this kind of thing.

Sister Tan said with a serious face: "Wang Ling, when I do a show, I never ask for ratings, I only ask for factual reports, which is the most basic professional belief of our news people, why don't I do this issue?"

Wang Ling wanted to say something, but Sister Tan made a gesture of refusal and said: "Don't say too much, do you know why such things don't explode? Because there are too many things that have happened, they are not attractive at all, and people have long been numb, but why have so many things happened, but this kind of thing still happens frequently? Because no one has ever thought of settling this kind of dispute, it is all broadcast and caused a wave, and then it passes." ”

Wang Ling knew what kind of character Sister Tan was, so she didn't talk much.

After that, we all rushed to the chemical plant in silence, and when we arrived there, the chemical plant was still operating normally, not affected by more than a dozen lives, Sister Tan negotiated with the workers there, saying that she wanted to meet their boss, and the staff there saw that we were reporters, so they said that his boss was not in the county, and he was on a business trip.

The implication is that she doesn't see us, but Sister Tan doesn't give up, but smiles and says: "Then you go and make a phone call to inform your boss, just say that we are reporters from Yazhongtai, and we want to know about the situation here, and some things also want to be verified, if your boss is not available, then we have to report according to the version given by the village." ”

The face of the staff of the chemical plant changed, so she ran into the office without saying a word, and when she came out again, she said to Sister Tan: "Our boss said that we can only see two, and we are not allowed to bring cameras, voice recorders and mobile phones into the door." ”

Sister Tan glanced at me with a smile and said to the staff, "Okay, no problem." ”

I understood what she meant by that glance, so I also walked over, and stood with Sister Tan, and the staff checked on us, and indeed found no voice recorders or anything like that, so they took us in.

The owner of the chemical factory, a middle-aged man in his fifties, invited us in, poured me and Sister Tan a cup of tea, smiled and asked for our names.

After Sister Tan and I answered honestly, Wang Teng, the owner of the chemical plant, said with a smile: "I know your industry, there are many TV stations that have come to interview me recently, my Wang has done a lot of good deeds in his life, and I have never thought about being famous, so I can only do my best to repay the society for my support to Wang, but I didn't expect this time to ......."

He shook his head with a smile and said, "Where are Miss Xia and Miss Wang from?"

Sister Tan squinted at the man slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm O City." ”

I put down the teacup in my hand, stretched out my hand to him and said, "Me too, hello Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Teng also shook me lightly and said, "Hello, Miss Xia." ”

After the two of us said hello, Wang Teng seemed to be quite interesting to Sister Tan, and kept asking Sister Tan personal questions, as long as we detoured the question to about ten lives, he would definitely change the topic.

Both of us played Tai Chi for a long time, and Wang Teng said, "Since you are here today, it is naturally impossible for me to let the two of you return empty-handed." ”

He got up from the couch and walked to the cupboard and put two suitcases in front of us, which were neatly packed with money.

Sister Tan and I glanced at each other, and Wang Teng said: "In the past few days, five or six TV reporters have taken these things from me, to be honest, I am not afraid of this accident, I just don't want to trouble." ”

Sister Tan picked up a dozen dollars from the suitcase and asked, "Mr. Wang, is this trying to buy us?"

Wang Teng smiled modestly and said, "It's not a bribe, I just appreciate people like Miss Tan." ”

Sister Tan said, "What if I don't accept your appreciation today?"

Wang Teng said: "Then I can only make other plans." ”

Naked threats.

Sister Tan smiled and said nothing, but she didn't hit it hard, we naturally didn't take the money, and finally said goodbye and walked out of Wang Teng's office.

On the way back, I said, "I finally understand why no one came to cover it." ”

Sister Tan said: "This Wang Teng is not simple, I heard that there is a bit of power here. ”

I said, "The first thing we should do is get the autopsy report." ”

Sister Tan said: "Only when there is an autopsy report can I provide evidence to the judge. ”

I said, "If the hospital doesn't show it, it's going to be a little difficult." ”

Sister Tan snorted, obviously feeling a little difficult.

The day passed in a busy way, we just returned to the farmhouse, Wang Teng actually sent someone over, his secretary said that he wanted to invite me and Sister Tan to have dinner together in the evening, Sister Tan and I both felt a bad premonition.

We didn't take the money, so it was obvious that we would not give up on this matter, how could someone like Wang Teng be willing to give up and let us scribble?

But what if you don't go for this meal?

This is in the mountains, and they are in charge, and it is easy for something to happen.

Maybe we shouldn't have gone to Wang Teng in the first place, but now we are startling the snake.

The staff who came with us didn't agree with me and Sister Tan going to eat this meal, in fact, I didn't really want to, but it was obvious that this meal was not something we could easily refuse.

Sister Tan didn't say whether she wanted to go or not, and fell into deep thought.

I suddenly felt a wave of unease.

Sister Tan, who didn't speak, suddenly asked me: "Lailai, do you have a relative who is a doctor?"

I said, "What's wrong?"

Sister Tan said: "The autopsy report from the hospital can't be obtained, we have to find a way to get a copy out, why don't you think of a way?"

I immediately refused, saying, "He's a gynecologist, there's no way." ”

Sister Tan said, "Just ask." ”

Under Sister Tan's expectations, I had no choice but to pick up my mobile phone and call Lin Rongshen, but no one answered the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, shook my head at Sister Tan and said that no one answered.

Sister Tan was a little disappointed, and finally could only get up from the wooden chair and say, "I'll go alone tonight, Lailai, you can stay here." ”

I said no, and I said, "If that's the case, then just resign." ”

Sister Tan glanced at me, and finally smiled, and then no matter how much the rest of the people dissuaded us, Sister Tan didn't listen at all, when we arrived at the point of eating, the two of us rushed to the place set by Wang Teng, on the way there, Sister Tan stuffed a voice recorder into her underwear, I asked her if she would be too bold?

Sister Tan said, "It's okay, you can rest assured." ”

After we arrived at the hotel in the county, Wang Teng had been waiting there for a long time, and came up to greet us, after he led us to take a seat, my mobile phone rang, because this time Wang Teng did not ask us not to bring mobile phones, so I and Sister Wang both.

The phone rang, and I could only get up from the chair and smile at Wang Teng and say, "Mr. Wang, I'll answer the phone." ”

Wang Teng smiled and nodded as he spoke.

After I got out of the box door, I glanced at the call reminder, it was Lin Rongshen's call, I hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button.

The first thing he said on the phone was when he asked me what I was doing, and I said, "I'm on a business trip." ”

He was shocked and asked, "Did you work?"

I said, "Well, it's working." ”

Lin Rongshen asked, "There." ”

I said, "This side of Zhangyu County." ”

I was afraid that Sister Tan wouldn't be able to cope with it alone, so I said to Lin Rongshen: "I still have something to do, hang up first." ”

I was just about to press the hang up button, when Sister Tan suddenly said from the room: "Lailai!

A string in my brain suddenly broke, ding, and I wanted to go to the box when I rushed up, but then, I watched Sister Tan suddenly rush out of the box door, there were two big men chasing her behind her, I instantly understood something, turned on the voice recorder on my body, and ran in the opposite direction, fortunately, no one found me here, Sister Tan was like a gust of wind and didn't know where to run.

I felt that the situation was wrong, so I called the cameraman Xiao Wang as soon as possible, but I found that I didn't hang up Lin Rongshen's phone, and the other end was still on the phone.

I didn't even think about it and hung up directly, and then immediately called Lao Wang to inform him that something had happened.

After calling Lao Wang, I called the police station again, and I didn't dare to go back to the farmhouse alone, so I entered a large shopping mall nearby, and scurried around in a crowded place.

After running for a long time, I repeated Sister Tan's phone but no one answered, I was a little panicked, could it be that Sister Tan had an accident?

But what should I do now? I've done everything I need to do, what else should I do to help Sister Tan?

I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly I realized that I had no other choice, so I could only do it in my heart.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that Lao Wang called me and asked if Sister Tan had contacted me.

I said, "No." ”

Lao Wang said: "Sister Tan is more than lucky. ”

I said, "How is that possible, don't talk nonsense yet." ”

Lao Wang said: "The police are looking for it. ”

I said, "Sister Tan has been working in this industry for so long, she won't have any escape skills. ”

Lao Wang said, "Did you bring a voice recorder with you when you went?"

I said, "Bring it." ”

Lao Wang said directly: "I fucking knew something was going to happen!"

I didn't expect this scene to happen at the first job, but I didn't panic at all, I have a hunch, Sister Tan must be fine, I don't believe that Wang Teng and they dare to kill people, this is a society under the rule of law!

I wandered outside alone until five o'clock, and Lao Wang said that no one would pick me up now, and there was still a long way to go to Zhangyu County, all of which were mountain roads, and no one dared to pick me up, so I stayed in the hotel in the town first.

After we hung up the phone, I found a hotel here to stay, five-star, after opening the room, I locked the door and kept looking at my phone, wanting to wait for Sister Tan's news.

But when it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Rongshen's phone called, and I didn't think about it at the time, so I pressed the answer button.

Lin Rongshen asked on the phone: "In the hotel?"

I was about to say how he knew, when I suddenly remembered the phone call that I hadn't hung up before, and said, "Well, at the hotel." ”

Lin Rongshen said: "You should stay at the police station. ”

I said, "It's close to the police station." ”

Lin Rongshen said: "I know. ”

He hung up directly.

I looked at his inexplicable phone call, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Almost two hours later, at three o'clock in the morning, the doorbell rang outside the door, and I was so frightened that I wondered, who was going to knock on my door in the middle of the night?

I sat on the couch in a cold sweat, and the doorbell was a torture for me.

I wanted to take out my mobile phone and call the police immediately, but a call came in, I pressed the answer button, and as soon as I fed it, Lin Rongshen said on the phone: "Open the door." ”

I said, "You ......."

Lin Rongshen said: "Immediately." ”

Then there was a knock on the door, I jumped off the sofa directly, and when I went to open the door, I hesitated, but after hesitating for a few seconds, I still opened the door, Lin Rongshen happened to be standing outside my door, and the moment I saw him, I was like a deflated ball, leaning against the wall at the door and panting.

Lin Rongshen saw me for a long time, and when he saw my sweaty appearance, he walked in from outside the door and closed the door with his backhand.

I said weakly, "Why are you here?"

Lin Rongshen said, "What do you think?"
