It was already half past eleven, and Liu Xiping, the magistrate of Xi County, hurried back to the temporary headquarters of the village committee. When Ji Fei, Li Rui and others saw him enter the house, they all got up to greet him.

Ji Fei asked: "County Magistrate Liu, how are you talking to the coal mine?" Liu Xiping said: "The mine manager Meng Sanjin said that he had never heard about the two CCTV reporters, let alone sent someone to arrest them, and was willing to cooperate with the search." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the director of the safety supervision bureau walked in from the outside and said: "I suggest, don't search in the coal mine, the area of the coal mine is too large, there are more than a dozen of them on the mountain, and it will take a quarter of an hour to drive from the north gate to the south gate." How can you find such a big place? These two hundred armed police soldiers are simply not enough. ”

Ji Fei looked at him and asked, "What is Director Hai's opinion?" The director of the safety supervision department smiled: "There is no high opinion, just a small suggestion." Of course, if you have to look in the coal mine, then we will fully cooperate. ”

Ji Fei frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Since this matter is difficult, I will report to the leader again and discuss what to do next." Tonight, that's all there is to it. Director Li, Director Shen, let's find a place to rest. ”

The director of the government office had already prepared a place for them to rest, and it was a coincidence that it was the coal hotel where Zhuang Haixia and Lu Hai once lived. Due to the shortage of rooms, Li Rui and Ji Fei shared a standard double room.

When he arrived in the guest room, Ji Fei closed the door and said in a low voice: "Director Li, I didn't find it, the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau is very strange." Li Rui nodded and said, "It's really inappropriate for him to make such a suggestion at this time." If nothing else, at least irresponsible. He is also a leading cadre, how can he say such negative things to us?" Ji Fei said: "However, since Meng Sanjin, the director of the coal mine, dares to agree to cooperate with the search, then they must have done everything foolproof, and we really don't need to go to the coal mine to search again, and it is estimated that the search will not find anything." Of course, the premise here is that the two journalists were indeed arrested by them. If they hadn't caught it, we wouldn't have been able to find it. ”

Li Rui said: "Either they arrested it, or the government departments that colluded with the coal mine arrested it. Ordinary people will definitely not arrest people. Ji Fei nodded and sighed: "The evening is really not conducive to investigating the case, so we can only wait for a comprehensive visit and investigation tomorrow morning." It is best to have eyewitnesses see the last whereabouts of the two journalists. ”

The two washed their feet one after another, and then lay down on Simmons. Ji Fei soon fell asleep and snored like thunder. Li Rui was already thinking about this case, and when he heard his snoring again, he couldn't sleep anymore, thought about it, secretly put on his shoes and socks, and walked out of the room.

The door opposite the room was Shen Yuanzhu's room, and the door was half open at this time.

"Didn't she sleep either?"

Li Rui subconsciously pushed open the door, saw that the room was empty, there was no one, a little surprised, walked out along the corridor, just a few steps, saw Shen Yuanzhu coming back with a mobile phone, it is estimated that he had just called.

The two of them collided head-on, both of them were a little stunned, and almost at the same time asked, "You didn't sleep?" and then they both laughed again.

Li Rui sighed: "The longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable the impact will be on our Qingyang City, and the more worried I am, plus the snoring of the Director of Discipline is too loud, I can't sleep, hehe." Shen Yuanzhu said happily: "So that's the case, then you go to my room to sleep." Li Ruiqi said: "Then where are you going to sleep?" Shen Yuanzhu said: "Of course I also slept in it, isn't it two Simmons?" Li Rui saw that she said as if it was a matter of course, and he didn't care about any difference between men and women at all, and said that this policeman is broad-minded, compared to her, his heart seems dirty. Shen Yuanzhu beckoned him into his room and said with a smile: "Two Simmons, you can choose whatever you want, I'll go wash up and sleep when I come back." ”

Li Rui sat on Simmons, thinking about the case in his head, to see if he could reason and analyze something.

At this time, Secretary-General Du Minsheng called him to ask about the latest development of the matter. Li Rui explained the situation from beginning to end, and Du Minsheng said after hearing it: "Xiao Rui, you don't have to be too anxious about this matter, just rest first." Let's see if there is any progress in the public security department tomorrow morning. ”

After the phone call, Shen Yuanzhu walked back from the bathroom with a pair of disposable slippers, and saw Li Rui sitting on Simmons outside, so he got on the Simmons inside and asked, "Director Li, are you okay? Let's go to sleep if it's okay." Li Rui sighed, got up and turned off the light, came back and lay on Simmons, couldn't sleep for a while, and continued to think nonsense.

After a while, he turned over and caught a glimpse of Shen Yuanzhu looking at his phone, so he asked, "Director Shen, I have a little immature idea, can you listen to it?" Shen Yuanzhu smiled and put the phone under the pillow and said, "Okay, you can say it." Li Rui said: "Don't delay your sleep, right?" Shen Yuanzhu smiled: "Don't delay, I'm a night owl." Li Rui smiled and said, "I just thought, if the two reporters were not arrested by the coal mine, then what department else could arrest them? The director of the Safety Supervision Bureau is the most suspicious, but the Safety Supervision Bureau is far away in the county seat, and it is impossible for him to know about the two reporters' secret visits here, and it is even more impossible to arrest them." As for the town's department, it's also far from here, I don't think it's likely. But looking at the entire Heiyaogou Village, when it comes to government departments, it is barely the village committee and the village branch. The village committee is an autonomous organization of the villagers, so how can it be possible to arrest people if they have nothing to do? The village branch is also a party branch organ, and it will not arrest people indiscriminately......

Shen Yuanzhu frowned when he heard this, and said, "Yes, let you say that, except for the coal mine, outsiders will not arrest these two reporters." Li Rui shook his head and said: "No, no, when you mentioned outsiders, I suddenly remembered that if those two reporters went to secretly visit the families of the dead miners, they were seen by someone with a heart and directly notified the relevant departments in the town or county, and they might have been arrested." Shen Yuanzhu said suspiciously: "Who is this caring person you are talking about?" Li Rui said: "For example, the leader of the coal mine." You think, the miners must all live together, either in a family home or in a family building, and maybe the family of the mine disaster that the two reporters secretly visited is next to the home of a certain coal mine leader. Both of them are outsiders, and they speak Beijing or Mandarin, and they are likely to be discovered by the leadership. If this leader was a person who knew the inside story of the mining disaster, he would naturally not let them continue to make secret visits......"

Shen Yuanzhu said: "What you said makes sense, hehe, you can also go to the criminal police detachment." Li Rui smiled bitterly: "But even if you deduce this, it's useless." We still don't know where the two journalists were caught. Shen Yuanzhu smiled: "You, don't worry, hurry up and sleep." When tomorrow dawns, we will extensively mobilize the masses to visit and inquire everywhere, and we should be able to find any useful clues. ”

At this time, Meng Sanjin, the mine manager of the Heiyaogou Coal Mine, had not slept yet, and was calling people: "...... Big brother, don't hesitate, just listen to me, no poison, no husband. Keep the two of them, sooner or later it will be a disaster!" A calm middle-aged man on the other side scolded in a calm voice: "Kill, kill, kill, you know how to fight and kill all day long!" Sanjin, you have been a mine manager for more than ten years, why has this temperament of shouting and shouting and killing at every turn still not changed?" Meng Sanjin said with a smile: "This is called a dog can't change to eat, haha." The man said, "You can't kill, you can't kill." Let me tell you, even if the mining disaster is exposed, it's a big deal to find a brother to bear the blame and pay some money, and our brothers will be fine. But if you kill someone, and you kill a CCTV reporter, do you think you can have any good end? You have to keep your eyes open and see that at present, those two people have only been arrested, and as a result, all the public security and armed police in the city have been sent down, and they are all large teams, if you really kill people, hehe, those armed policemen dare to use machine guns to surprise you. ”

Meng Sanjin shouted: ", we also have guns, when the time comes, let's do it with real knives and real guns, and see who is more accurate in marksmanship." The man said coldly: "What nonsense is Shao Teh! Just now, Hu Zhiwen and Qin Daming both called me, because of this matter, the city was already in a hurry. At this juncture, don't give me a moth. Those two must have been hidden for me, and they must not be discovered. Meng Sanjin said: "Don't worry, boss, they have already hidden them in the cave inside the mining road, the inside and outside of the two gates, and the outermost cover-up, except for a few of our cronies, no one knows." The man said: "I heard that tomorrow morning a formal investigation will be launched, and not only the armed police officers and soldiers will go into the mining area to search the mountains, but the public security will also go in to investigate." You've got to cheer me up, don't let anyone see the flaws. ”

Meng Sanjin said: "Don't worry, boss, we haven't dealt with Tiaozi for a year or two, will I be afraid of them?" Meng Sanjin said: "If you want me to say, you can throw it directly into the mine, save trouble and food, and then blow up the mine entrance, just like dealing with the mining disaster, hehe, unless the strips are the Jade Emperor Sun Wukong, can dig up the entire mountain, otherwise, it will not be found in a lifetime." Ha ha. The man said: "Let's not talk about it first, the person surnamed Hai called me again, and hung up first." ”

In a hotel in Longkou Town, ten miles away from Heiyaogou Village, Hai Fumin, director of the Xi County Safety Supervision Bureau, was making a phone call.

His face was frightened, his forehead was covered with dense hot sweat, and he shouted in horror: "Boss Li, you must tell me the truth, you can't harm me." ”
