Ji Fei asked, "How long will it take to fire the gun?" The director of the safety supervision bureau laughed and said, "Soon, soon." Ji Fei frowned and asked, "How fast is it soon?" The director of the safety supervision bureau sneered: "It shouldn't be long." ”

Ji Fei didn't ask for the information he wanted after asking for two sentences, he was a little angry, and said to Liu Xiping: "County Magistrate Liu, time is not waiting for me." If something really goes wrong with the two reporters in Xi County, I am afraid that no one can afford this responsibility. ”

Liu Xiping also knew the urgency and importance of this matter, nodded at him, and said to the director of the safety supervision bureau: "When is it, and his Heiyaogou coal mine is still in normal production? This in itself is an extremely irresponsible behavior for CCTV reporters." Director Hai, I order you to immediately communicate with the coal mine and ask them to immediately stop production and devote themselves to the operation of finding CCTV reporters. To search all the corners of the coal mine mountainous area, we must first find two reporters. At this juncture, if anyone does not cooperate, then something goes wrong, he will be sorry, and he alone will bear all the responsibility. ”

The director of the safety supervision bureau nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, yes, yes, county magistrate, I want to review it from you, it is because I don't have enough sense of responsibility and the overall situation is not strong, so I will make arrangements immediately." After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Ji Fei pulled Li Rui to the side and said in a low voice: "Director Li, I think there seems to be a problem with the coal mine, I want to go over and take a look in person, do you want to go together?" Li Rui thought for a while and said: "With a huge coal mine, it is definitely not a problem to hide two reporters." However, I'm afraid that if we push too hard, the other party will probably not dare to hand over the two reporters, or transfer them to evade our search, or kill them directly, which will be bad. Ji Fei said: "You have considered it reasonably, so what should you do? The officers and men of the armed police have all driven to the gate of the mine, and the coal mine will definitely be searched in an all-round way. ”

Li Rui said: "Okay, then let's go over and take a look, and we will meet the person in charge of the coal mine." ”

So, Ji Fei, Li Rui and Shen Yuanzhu drove to the coal mine by the driver. Liu Xiping saw that these people from the city had targeted the coal mine, and he was not sure, so he called his entourage to follow.

Ten minutes later, two groups of people had already arrived at the gate of the coal mine, and saw that the fence gate was closed, hundreds of armed police officers and soldiers and some policemen of the county public security bureau were stopped outside, and inside the door were more than a dozen security guards in the factory guarding the gate.

Liu Xiping got out of the car and walked into the crowd, and said angrily to the deputy director of the safety supervision bureau at the door: "Why don't you go in? Didn't they stop production? Are they still firing guns?" The deputy director said with a sad face: "These security guards at the door have said that they haven't received orders from the leaders yet, and for the sake of safety, they can't let people in." Liu Xiping said with a calm face: "They are kind." Oh, for the sake of our safety, since the workers in their mines are not afraid of death, what are we afraid of? Tell them that if they don't open the door again, they will bear the consequences. The deputy director said in surprise: "County magistrate, you don't want to force your way in, do you?" Liu Xiping reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, go and let them open the door." The deputy director said with a bitter face: "This is not good." Liu Xiping was furious and said, "Are you going?"

Li Rui watched coldly, feeling that Liu Xiping didn't seem to have any prestige, the two directors of the safety supervision bureau didn't take him seriously, and the coal mine didn't take him as the county magistrate in his eyes, and saw that Ji Fei was talking to the deputy head of the armed police search team, and he was a little anxious between his eyebrows, and sighed secretly, no matter how anxious the people from the city were, it was useless if the county and the coal mine didn't cooperate.

Shen Yuanzhu said to himself: "There must be something wrong with the coal mine, otherwise we wouldn't be allowed to enter." Li Rui said: "You mean, the two reporters just let them arrest?" Shen Yuanzhu nodded and said, "Don't you think that's the case?" Li Rui groaned for a while, shook his head, and asked: "Director Shen, those two reporters came to the Heiyaogou Coal Mine to conduct a secret investigation, do you think the two of them may have gone to the mine to investigate? That would not be an unannounced visit, but a clear investigation." Shen Yuanzhu said: "As Director Ji said just now, the last action that the two reporters had to take was to learn the details of the mining disaster from the coal miners, so why couldn't they come to the coal mine? They could pretend to be lost tourists, or they were in the coal business, and went to the coal mine to find people to chat, looking for opportunities to learn about the mining disaster of that year." But if he accidentally revealed his identity, he was caught by the workers or security guards in the mine. ”

Li Rui heard her as if she had seen her in person, and what she said made some sense, and couldn't help but praise: "Director Shen, you should go to the criminal police detachment to be the deputy detachment leader." Shen Yuanzhu said curiously: "Why do you say that?" Li Rui said: "Because your ability to reason and analyze is very strong." Shen Yuanzhu laughed and said, "Don't laugh at me, I'm just talking nonsense." Li Rui said: "Why don't you reason again, if the two reporters are really arrested by the people in the mine, and now they are still resisting, then they don't plan to hand over people, but the iron gate will be opened sooner or later, and when the search team rushes in, what do you think they will do?"

Ji Fei walked over and said, "Director Li asked this question well. Let me interject, things have developed to the current situation, they originally wanted to hand over but didn't dare to hand over, if they really handed it over, none of them could escape, and they all had to be arrested. ”

Shen Yuanzhu saw him coming, and said with a sneer: "Director Li, you should ask Director Ji your question." I'm talking nonsense, Director Ji is the real professional student, an old policeman, he must be able to answer your question. ”

Ji Fei was also not modest, and said, "I heard Director Li's question. I also concluded that if the reporters were really arrested, since they did not release them in the first place, they would not release them in the future, for two reasons: first, if the reporters were released, they themselves would be arrested, and second, if the reporters were released, the reporters would be more involved in investigating the mining disaster of that year, and they would not be able to escape. However, in the face of the search team at the city and county levels, they could not resist for long, and I suspect that they will take the following countermeasures: first, to transfer the two reporters, as long as the reporters are not in the mine, they will continue to get away with it; second, to hide the two reporters, as long as they hide in a hidden enough place, we can't find them, then the people in the mine will not have to worry about accidents. ”

Li Rui nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Director Ji has analyzed it too well. Ji Fei sighed: "If they really do what I say, we don't have to worry, we can always find it." But I'm just worried that they will attack the two reporters at any time, either in the process of transferring or in the process of hiding. The dead are the safest. Moreover, there are many unique conditions on the side of the mine that can fake the situation that two journalists died by natural accidents. Li Rui was very anxious after hearing this, and said, "Then what should we do?"

Ji Fei said: "In response to the possibility that they will transfer two reporters, I have arranged for people to set up secret posts at all the entrances and exits of the mine, and vehicles entering and leaving the mine will be stopped and checked." But if they hide reporters, we can't see it when we're outside the door. In addition, it is necessary to ask County Magistrate Liu to send someone to talk to the person in charge of the coal mine to explain the stakes of this matter, and that they must not be allowed to kill the reporter. Li Rui praised: "Okay, just do what Director Ji said." ”

Ji Fei turned around and went to Liu Xiping to explain the details, and Li Rui took the opportunity to call Song Chaoyang to report the latest situation at the scene.

After listening to this, Song Chaoyang pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Rui, the situation is treacherous and complicated now, and the enemy and me are unknown, don't worry." You help me tell Director Ji Feiji, who led the team, and Liu Xiping, County Magistrate, that it is important to find people, but you must pay attention to ways and means, and do not cause mass incidents, let alone any casualties. Li Rui said, "Okay, I'll tell them." Song Chaoyang instructed him to pay attention to his own safety, and then hung up the phone.

Li Rui put down his mobile phone and walked over to tell Ji Fei and Liu Xiping what Song Chaoyang meant.

Liu Xiping frowned after hearing this: "Secretary Song is certainly well-intentioned, but if the coal mine has been blocking and not allowing us to enter, should we wait until dawn?" Ji Fei shook his head and said: "Why wait until dawn? Let's not be too naïve, if we can enter the gate of the mine, we will definitely be able to find two reporters." It is likely that when the gate is opened by the coal mine, they will not have to worry about us finding those two reporters. Li Rui nodded approvingly, and said, "This matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”

Ji Fei said: "At present, it is no longer necessary for us to enter and search, even if we are reluctant to enter, I am afraid that we will not be able to find any clues, but will be teased by the coal mine." In this case, we simply did not go in to search, and asked all the officers and men of the armed police to go back to the village to find a place to rest, and then arrange tasks for them at dawn tomorrow. Liu Xiping asked, "Then it's so deserted tonight?" Ji Fei said, "Of course not." We can not search in the coal mines, but the necessary work must be done, especially the ideological work. County Magistrate Liu, you must send people to do a good job of ideological work, and repeatedly explain to the person in charge of the coal mine. You can tell them that if they really illegally detained CCTV reporters, then as long as they are released, my side can call the shots and not pursue their criminal responsibility. ”

When Liu Xiping heard this, he said indignantly: "The person in charge of this coal mine is too arrogant, and the matter has come to this point, and I haven't seen them come out to make any explanation." Ji Fei sighed: "Don't force it, but the ideological work must be done in place." Liu Xiping nodded and said, "I will immediately send someone to contact the coal mine manager and ask him to come out to talk." Ji Fei said, "Okay, then we'll go back to the temporary headquarters first." ”
