Chapter 31: The Grimace Elf

Mei Yuanzheng was in the mining area, and heard that Liu Zichen and Kuangsuo sent by the Beiting Detective Agency were asking about butterflies everywhere. He knew that Beiting must have already had some understanding of the legend of butterflies, otherwise he would not have investigated it with such fanfare, let alone let Li Yiting and Wan Yongkun take the risk of blocking the explosion level. However, for Mei Yuanzheng, this matter is indeed a huge hidden danger in his heart, he knows the story of the butterfly elves, but he doesn't know anything about why they came, and he has studied it specially, but unfortunately he has found nothing.

Mei Yuanzheng guessed that the detective agency had doubts about the relationship between the butterfly elf and the explosion, but in fact, he himself was half-convinced about the butterfly elf, and he never said anything. In order to provide necessary assistance and to solve the doubts in his heart as soon as possible, he took the initiative to contact Chen Tianyu on this day and said that he had clues to report to him. Chen Tianyu let Mei Yuanzheng go to the guest house where he lived, and Xu Jingnan was also present.

Chen Tianyu was a little surprised that the mine manager would take the initiative to come to the door, because although Beiting intervened in the matter, for various reasons, he never had direct contact with the coal mine management, and he originally wanted to figure out the case from the grassroots level first, and then face the mine director and deputy mine managers, before only for Mei Yuanzheng, Gao Kehua, Xue Kui and others to conduct external investigations and background visits.

"President Chen, I'm here to tell you about the bombing. Mei Yuanzheng went straight to the point and did not shy away, "It is true that in my management, I have paid great attention to safety, but it is inevitable that there will be a lot of problems, resulting in occasional accidents, such as this year, which is more serious, and thanks to you to investigate the cause together, so that we can make up for it as soon as possible." ”

The other party's attitude surprised Chen Tianyu, he hadn't found out anything serious, and the mining area actually mentioned it by himself, which was rare in previous cases.

Mei Yuanzheng saw that Chen Tianyu was suspicious, he was very understandable, he didn't care, and continued to tell, "However, in the previous accidents, we did not find any human negligence in it, nor did we find out the specific cause of the accident, if you have to find a common denominator, that is, after every accident, someone found a terrible grimace butterfly in the mine." Therefore, we have a legend here that the explosion was caused by the butterfly elves, and most of the people who have seen the butterfly elves have died unexpectedly. ”

According to what Li Yiting and Wan Yongkun have learned in the mine in the past few days, what Mei Yuanzheng said is indeed true, which confirms Beiting's investigation clues on the other side. Chen Tianyu responded calmly, "Mine Manager Mei, since you have already discovered this suspicion, in the previous accident, didn't the local government find out the relationship between it?"

Mei Yuanzheng shook his head, "This kind of thing can't be brought to the table, to be honest, I didn't believe it originally, how could butterflies have anything to do with the explosion? But every time the facts appear, I have to believe it, the police have also found this detail before, but it just can't make sense, and naturally it can't be used as evidence." I don't know if the butterfly elves caused the explosion, but I just want to tell you what I know. ”

After holding back for a long time, Mei Yuanzheng did not vomit or be unhappy, and told in detail what he knew about the ghost-faced butterfly elf.

It turns out that the butterfly elf did not appear this time, the matter goes back to three years ago, when after several years of rectification and efforts, the situation of the coal mine has been completely new, whether it is the amount of mining or the safety production time has greatly exceeded the previous standard, so that the coal mine is very excited, and the performance is more and more outstanding. But at that time, a miner claimed to have seen a terrible grimace butterfly, but at that time, no one had seen anything like it, and they thought he was talking nonsense. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the miner fell ill and died.

Even so, people regretted what he said before his death, and it was not until after the explosion in Mine No. 1 that he described and saw that they were recalled. The miner, who was working in the No. 1 mine, said that after seeing the Grimace Butterfly, he died, and the coal mine blew up, so he attracted the attention of the mine and sent people to find it, and sure enough, traces of the Grimace Butterfly were found in the mine. Since then, the legend of the butterfly elves has spread in the mines.

Since then, there have been three explosions, all of which were sudden, without warning, and the monitoring was normal, and the experts were also confused about this, because the safety measures in the mine were in place, and there was no reason for the accident. But after the three explosions, in the process of cleaning up the scene, it was found that the ghostly butterfly was left inside, and there is no doubt that this is no coincidence, so people are increasingly believing that the inexplicable explosion accident was caused by the butterfly elf, and it may be punishment or revenge.

The continuous accidents have made the miners panic, and if it were not for the necessity of life, many people may not dare to work again, after all, they do not know when the accident will suddenly occur. However, after a detailed investigation and evidence collection by the local authorities, no problems were found in the management and safety measures, so there is no reason to ban the mining of the coal mine, after all, it is the coal resources that make its fortune. It's just that I didn't expect that there was another explosion on the eighth day of this year, and it was much more serious than in the past, with six deaths, which can be said to be the total number of casualties in the past three years, which was not as great as this loss, which made Mei Yuanzheng completely unable to sit still.

Chen Tianyu had seen the corpse specimen of the so-called grimace butterfly in the No. 1 mine, which was indeed very terrifying, but he did not believe that the explosion would be brought by the butterfly, which was simply a fantasy. But as Mei Yuanzheng said, butterfly energy will be found after every explosion, so this is indeed not a coincidence, and the reason for this may need more in-depth investigation to know.

Now, the No. 1 and No. 2 mines have been permanently filled, and it is impossible to go in again, but the No. 3 mine of the Chuba gas explosion is still there, Chen Tianyu took the initiative to let his men go down to the level where the explosion occurred, to see if there are butterfly elves this time, and if so, they want to collect samples and go to the professional department for laboratory investigation. Mei Yuanzheng had this intention, the explosion level of the No. 3 mine was ordered by Xue Kui to be blocked, and he was not good and did not dare to check it, since Chen Tianyu had this intention, he immediately welcomed it, and said that he would personally send someone to accompany him.
