Coming to the door of the conference room, Chu Tianqi steadied his mind and pushed open the door.

In the conference room, there were more than 30 people, men and women, old and young.

When he was entering the hospital just now, Chu Tianqi received a call from Wang Yongxin again, asking him to go directly to the third conference room of the municipal party committee. At that time, he was stunned, realizing that there should be more than a few people waiting for him, and Tron didn't expect it to be such a big battle.

Chu Tianqi casually glanced at it and found that the members of the Standing Committee of the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee and members of the government party group were all present; in the center was Zhang Tiankai, vice governor of the Hexi Provincial Government, accompanied by Dong Jianshe on the side, and there were several faces that seemed familiar but did not recognize them for a while.

More than sixty gazes all shot at him, especially two of them were the most cold, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He sighed and stepped into the room, the door closing behind him.

After taking a few steps forward, he didn't hear anyone speak, he only felt that many eyes moved with him, and Chu Tianqi was not sitting or standing. After a moment's hesitation, he opened his mouth first: "Mayor, I'm back." It was Wang Yongxin who called, and he felt that he could only say to Wang Yongxin now.

Wang Yongxin looked at Zhang Tiankai, then at Dong Jianshe and others, and said: "Comrade Chu Tianqi, Governor Zhang attaches great importance to the explosion accident at the Chiyun Mountain Iron Mine, and after the provincial construction safety on-site meeting was held, he and Director Dong stayed here; the leaders of the Provincial Work Safety Supervision Bureau, the Dingye City Government, and the Dingye City Safety Supervision Bureau also made a special trip to arrive, and the members of the Chengkang City Party Committee and the government party and government teams were also present. You should report in detail on the situation at the scene of the accident and the current emergency rescue situation, which must be meticulous and comprehensive. ”

From Wang Yongxin's words, Chu Tianqi heard a central meaning: the provincial and municipal leaders are overwhelmed and menacing, and the other party must deal with it carefully, and the subtext is "talk more about the rescue measures and achievements of Chengkang City". In fact, he had already thought about the principle of reporting on the road, that is, 'reporting truthfully', so he said: "Governor Zhang, leaders, at about 11:30 this morning, an explosion occurred in the No. 3 mine of Chiyunshan Iron Mine......

It took more than 20 minutes for Chu Tianqi to report on the explosion and the rescue situation at the scene. He did not highlight himself, but focused on the cooperation of functional departments, the self-help actions of the miners, the intimate measures of Chihe Town, and the behavior of the miners' families looking for their relatives.

Quiet, very quiet, after Chu Tianqi finished speaking, Wang Yongxin did not answer, and the others did not interject, and the room was quiet all the time. Everyone is waiting, waiting for the person with the highest position in the room to speak, this is the rule, usually the rules must be spoken, and this kind of sensitive time must be observed.

One minute

Two minutes

Five minutes

The room had been quiet for about ten minutes, and the air was extremely depressed, and everyone felt this depression, especially Chu Tianqi felt it the most.

Finally, Zhang Tiankai, who was in the middle position, opened his mouth: "Director Xing ......"

A middle-aged man sitting on the other side of Zhang Tiankai understood, and answered: "Governor, okay." ”

Through the simple conversation between the two, Chu Tianqi remembered the identity of that person - Xing Zhijun, deputy director of the Hexi Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau.

Xing Zhijun looked at Chu Tianqi and said in a serious voice: "According to what you said, so far, you have not found the cause of the explosion?"

Chu Tianqi nodded: "Yes." Zhen Li, the mine manager with the shift, is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Xing Zhijun directly interrupted: "According to what you said, the person in charge of Jinshi Mining is still at large, has not been controlled, and has no information on his whereabouts?"

Chu Tianqi replied truthfully: "Yes, the police ......"

"The four miners are still alive and dead?" interrupted Xing Zhijun again.

Interrupted twice by the other party, Chu Tianqi realized that the other party didn't listen to the latter at all, only listened to "yes" or "no", so this time he didn't have "nonsense", and directly replied with one word: "Yes." ”

"Human life is at stake, and the reply is too easy, you have to look for it, how can it be so casual?" Xing Zhijun reprimanded.

Chu Tianqi secretly said in his heart: It's you who won't let me say more.

Zhang Tiankai suddenly interjected: "That is to say, up to now, the cause of the accident has not been found, the person in charge of the enterprise has not been controlled, and there are still four absentees missing." Isn't that right?"

Chu Tianqi groaned for a moment and replied: "Yes." ”

Zhang Tiankai snorted and turned his head to look at Wang Yongxin: "Mayor Wang, what are you going to do in Chengkang City next?"

"What's next...... The next step ...... "Wang Yongxin can't help but be distracted."

"Ding Woo Bang", suddenly the mobile phone rang.

Chu Tianqi hurriedly put his hand into the pocket of his clothes, pressed the hang up button, and the mobile phone immediately stopped moving.

"Next ......," Wang Yongxin continued. It's not that he doesn't have a plan, but he doesn't know if his reply will satisfy the provincial leaders and whether it will cause trouble for himself.

"Ding Bang", the ringtone rang again, and it was still Chu Tianqi's mobile phone. He subconsciously looked at the person in the middle seat, ready to hang up again.

Zhang Tiankai frowned slightly, raised his chin slightly at Wang Yongxin, and gestured.

Wang Yongxin paused for a moment and understood what Governor Zhang meant, so he also frowned and said, "Take it, in case there is something urgent." ”

Chu Tianqi didn't turn it to mute just now, because he was worried that he was in a hurry. Now that he was allowed, he took out his phone and pressed the answer button: "You say...... What the...... Are you sure...... When was this...... Okay, good...... Got it. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Chu Tianqi's face was full of joy, and he said directly: "Governor Zhang, leaders, Qu Gang, director of the Public Security Bureau, called, and the four miners were found. ”

"Found?" several people asked, but their tones were very different.

The four miners did not go down the mine at all, but took advantage of the break to go into the city to play mahjong, worried that his wife would ask him, so the only miner with a mobile phone turned off the machine. They were scheduled to go to work at 10 p.m., but they rushed back and learned about the explosion in the mine. Chu Tianqi's tone was full of joy.

Many people let out an "oh" and breathed a sigh of relief, most of these officials in Chengkang City are like this. Although the mine explosion was not related to many people, if a dead person happened, it would not be a good thing to be targeted by the province and Dingye City all the time, and I was worried that my work would be discovered. Of course, there are a very small number of people who can't help but be disappointed, thinking that this is an excellent opportunity to kill people with a knife and cure Chu Tianqi to death, why is this missing miner okay?

"Found it?" someone made a voice, in a "sneering" tone, "I've been looking for so long, I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a dead body, how can I say that I found it?"

Chu Tianqi noticed that it was Xing Zhijun who spoke. He also noticed that before Xing Zhijun spoke, he clearly received Zhang Tiankai's signal.

Under the guidance of Xing Zhijun's words, many people couldn't help but wonder: This is too coincidental, right?

Understanding the intention of the other party's question, Chu Tianqi continued to explain: "Director Qu said that when the four miners arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they had already met with their families, and there were other mine personnel who proved the identities of the four people, and the director of the police station in the jurisdiction witnessed the incident on the spot. ”

The room was quiet for a while, and then a voice sounded, this time it was Zhang Tiankai who was speaking: "I am in charge of urban construction and safety supervision, and during the construction safety on-site meeting, I was extremely shocked and regretted that I encountered a mine explosion accident." ”

Hearing Zhang Tiankai say this, Chu Tianqi realized that Zhang Tiankai was also in charge of the province's safety supervision, and he was not a dog catching rats - meddling in things. In fact, Chu Tianqi should have been able to understand this information, but he was not in charge of safety supervision, so he usually didn't pay attention to it; after today's mine explosion, he also kept thinking about the rescue, thinking about Zhang Tiankai's identity as the provincial leader, but ignored the content of the other party's responsibility.

"I was shocked not only by that, but by the strangeness of the explosion. There was already an explosion in the mine, and he even said that he had not started work, and that there was no one in the cave, so how did the explosion happen? It can't be the ghost's doing? After searching for more than ten hours, the person in charge of the mine could not find it, and the whereabouts of the four miners were unknown. However, it was not too early or too late, and at this time, the four missing miners actually went back on their own. Zhang Tiankai sneered, "Isn't this a bit of a coincidence? It's also too bizarre, isn't it? Secretary Xue and Mayor Wang, don't you think it's a coincidence? Do you believe it?"

"Coincidental, not ......"

"Coincidental, very coincidental......"

Xue and Wang were at a loss, not knowing how to answer.

Zhang Tiankai snorted: "The accident is certainly regrettable, but it is more important to face the reality and actively rescue, rather than covering up the facts with strange things." It's not impossible to have coincidences, but it's easy to understand that there is something strange about the same thing, and it would be weird if it was endless. Secretary Xue and Mayor Wang, I remind you that it's time to show your attitude. In view of the severity of the situation, in my capacity as the leader in charge of the province, I instructed the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau to take the lead in the rescue and investigation, and the relevant departments of the province and Dingye City cooperated. Chengkang City should send competent comrades who are not involved in this matter and who can be trusted to actively cooperate with this matter. ”

"Definitely, definitely. Xue and Wang nodded again and again.

"The situation is urgent, so we will hold an emergency rescue meeting and leave the scene with irrelevant personnel. Zhang Tiankai's words were full of majesty.

"Okay. After agreeing, Xue and Wang looked at the people beside them and stroked with their hands, "You, you ......"

Chu Tianqi was not a fool, he had already heard that his identity no longer met the requirements for attending the meeting, so he took the initiative to say: "Secretary, mayor, then I'll go out first." ”

Without waiting for Xue and Wang to reply, Zhang Tiankai said: "Chengkang City must take precautions before it burns, and resolutely pay special attention to suspicious people and things, and must not make mistakes because of this, otherwise we must bear the corresponding consequences and responsibilities." Some things are indeed too strange and unbelievable. ”

"Yes, it's a coincidence. Wang Yongxin said.

Xue Tao said: "It's really weird, it's suspicious." ”
