Two days later, Tao Sansheng was sent back to the hospital again, this time not because of the explosion, but because of a broken bone. To be precise, he was broken in three ribs and then carried by his co-workers.

Afterwards, an investigation was carried out in the mine, and people who worked at the same level at the time could prove that Wang Mazi and Tao Sansheng first had a quarrel over trivial matters, and then Tao Sansheng beat Wang Mazi, and then the two became entangled, and some of the others seemed to be involved in the war group. In the end, the conclusion was that Tao Sansheng caused trouble first, so he should bear the main responsibility and be fired immediately; Wang Mazi acted in defense, but he fought as a team leader, was demoted, and became an ordinary worker.

Tao Sansheng had a bitter stomach and could only talk to his second daughter Tao Mei, but the problem was that he did it first. This alone cost him his life, so many people saw it and could testify, as for the reason, only he knew, and he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. He was fired from the mine, lost his job, and broke three bones, which is considered a miserable loss!

Because the mine did not bear his medical expenses, Tao Sansheng's family had no money (the compensation for the last mining accident has not yet come down), so he could not perform the operation, and stayed in the hospital for a day, and was directly expelled home because the hospitalization fee was not enough. Tao Sansheng endured the sharp pain in his chest, and he didn't know if it was a broken bone hurting, or his heart was hurting, in short, the whole person was like a lost soul, except for a few words with Tao Mei occasionally, others didn't open their mouths when they looked for him, as if they had changed into a person.

Tao Sansheng's wife was sick in her early years, and she never went out to work again, and after she got well, she took care of the children at home, and she raised two daughters and a son alone, and now the children are grown up, but the son Tao Jinrong is not a weapon, and he is still gnawing at home in his twenties, and now her husband's pillar has suddenly collapsed, and she really doesn't know what to do. So, she asked her second daughter, Tao Mei, who was cooking in the coal mine, to discuss with the leaders of the mine, at least to cure a few of her husband's ribs first.

Tao Mei knew very well that this matter was not easy to do, but she thought that there was no other way, so she had to find someone first. He is the son of the chief dispatcher Zou Qi, and he is also a little friend of Tao Mei who has known him since she was a child, named Zou Shaotang.

Zou Shaotang graduated from an ordinary undergraduate college, although it is not a famous university, but for Tao Mei, it is also an unattainable figure, so after Zou Shaotang returned from school, he was slightly estranged from this childhood partner, but Zou Shaotang did not care about the situation of the Tao family, and took the initiative to contact Tao Mei many times, without any dislike.

Zou Shaotang was not surprised that Tao Mei came to him in a panic, because he also heard about Tao Sansheng's successive accidents in the coal mine. He naturally knew that Tao Sansheng was Tao Mei's father, and he wanted to help ask about the situation, but his father, Zou Qi, as the chief dispatcher, asked him to be nosy. He didn't give up, guessing that after Tao Sansheng was expelled, the desperate Tao Mei would come to ask him for help, so he deliberately waited for her at home, and after Tao Mei arrived, he took her directly to the office building in the mine in a few words.

They went to Zou Qi first, but Zou Qi was not there, and Zou Shaotang didn't believe it very much, because of his father's position, he generally couldn't leave the coal mine. He guessed that his father was deliberately avoiding him, so he pulled Tao Mei and went to find Xue Kui, the deputy mine manager.

"It's Shaotang, come on, come in and sit. Xue Kui was very polite to Zou Shaotang, in addition to being Zou Qi's son, he also had other plans, but it was obviously not time yet.

"Uncle Xue, hello. Zou Shaotang called out politely, he is not a person in the mine, and he does not need to stick to his position.

At this time, Xue Kui also saw Tao Mei who came with him, and immediately knew the purpose of the two of them in his heart, but on the surface, he was quite harmonious, and he also beckoned Tao Mei to come in.

Zou Shaotang took the lead and said, "Uncle Xue, we are here today to ask about Tao Sansheng, Tao Mei's father, I heard that he was fired from the mine because of a fight, is there any room for maneuver in this matter?"

Xue Kui took a puff of cigarette, dusted off the ashes of his cigarette, and asked calmly, "Shaotang, why are you meddling in this matter?"

Zou Shaotang glanced at Tao Mei next to him and said truthfully, "Because Tao Mei is my hair and we grew up together, I want to help her ask about her father." ”

"So that's the case!" Xue Kui suddenly realized, he seemed to have heard Zou Qi talk about this before, saying that his son liked Tao Mei very much, but considering that the Tao family was so poor, Zou Qi said that he would definitely not be able to promise his son to marry Tao Mei home.

Since Zou Qi didn't approve of this girl, there was no need for him to take care of the Tao family in his face, so Xue Kui continued: "That's the case, according to the rules of our coal mine, fighting is to be punished, and they are fighting in the mine, which is a serious violation of discipline and safety, so I can only expel Tao Sansheng to set an example." ”

Hearing such a disposition, Tao Mei couldn't help but interject: "Mine Chief Xue, if my father was fired because of a fight, what about Wang Mazi? A slap can't be slapped, why can he stay and fire my father alone?"

"This is not simple, your father is the first to hit people, he took the initiative to cause trouble, of course he fired him. As for Wang Mazi, many people have proved that he fought back after being beaten, of course we have to treat him differently, besides, he was also demoted, and everything came according to the regulations. "What Xue Kui said is reasonable and well-founded, for Zou Shaotang's sake, he is still polite.

Tao Mei naturally will not be the opponent of an old fritter like Xue Kui, and when she is scolded like this, she has nothing to say, so she can only ask Zou Shaotang for help with pitiful eyes. Before coming, Zou Shaotang also thought about this matter, and now the evidence is conclusive, and the expulsion of Tao Sansheng is indeed in line with the regulations, the purpose of his visit this time, in addition to finding out the truth, also wants to get some compensation for the Tao family, at least so that his family can survive the urgent need.

So, Zou Shaotang expressed his opinion: "Uncle Xue, see if you can arrange some funds from the mine, so as to help Tao Sansheng take care of his illness, he is the pillar of the whole family, he is down now, if he doesn't get better soon, the family's life will be very problematic." ”

Xue Kui waved his hand and said no, he felt that he had enough face for Zou Shaotang today, and he didn't want to talk nonsense.

"Isn't this okay? After the last explosion, didn't the mine pay him the surgery fee and hospitalization fee?" Zou Shaotang continued.

"That's different! It was a work injury, and if it happened in our mine, of course we were responsible. But this time it was a fight and brawl in private, so do we also want the unit to give him money for medical treatment? It's good that we didn't hold him accountable for affecting his daily work and disrupting the order of production!"

Speaking of this, Xue Kui was a little annoyed, because he not only gave Tao Sansheng the money for medical treatment, but later paid an extra compensation under his threat, for this matter, he was angry, so he specially told Zou Qi not to let Tao Sansheng come to work in the future. As a result, he didn't expect Zou Qi to go against his own opinion and let Tao Sansheng go down the mine again, although he later knew that it was arranged by the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng personally, but he was still very unhappy, because he couldn't go to conflict with the mine manager, so he had to spill his anger in secret.

The negotiation yielded no results, so Zou Shaotang reluctantly left the coal mine with Tao Mei and went to Tao's house to visit Tao Sansheng.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Shen Mingyue would take a look at the "Micro Alliance" website every day to see if there was any new information for help, and on this day, a report letter about the concealment of coal mines in DT City caught her attention.

There are only a few lines on the report letter, mainly saying that there is a small coal mine over there, and there has been a gas explosion accident, and the actual death toll is different from the number reported. He also threatened and beat people in the know afterwards, hoping that the Beiting Detective Agency could come forward to investigate the truth, give justice to the victims, and bring the criminals to justice.

The text is concise and focused, and it is easy to understand the purpose and requirements of the whistleblower, Shen Mingyue remembered that she seemed to have seen this news on the news more than ten days ago, but she couldn't remember the specific content. So, she went online and checked it again, and sure enough, as the whistleblower said, there was a gas explosion accident in DT City that day, resulting in five deaths and one injury, but the aftermath has been dealt with.

Shen Mingyue was very indignant at this deliberate concealment and cruelty to the toiling masses, and she immediately reported the matter to Chen Tianyu and Li Yiting, hoping to go to the local area in person to find out.

However, Li Yiting, who was very busy, felt that this was not a big deal, and he said: "Mingyue, I have also read the news, the dead miners are indeed very pitiful, but our detective agency has a lot of things at hand now, I'm afraid I can't manage it there for the time being!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Mingyue, who was born with a sympathetic system, felt that this matter was very important: "Brother Li, we received a report letter saying that six people had died, but only five were reported in the news, although only one was missing, it was also fate!

Looking at Shen Mingyue's determined expression, Li Yiting no longer objected, "Then let Zichen and Jiudao go over first and find out, if there is no big problem, just leave it to the local police to deal with, let's help if we can, after all, it is a public institution, and we can't interfere too much." ”

"What about me, I'm going too!" Shen Mingyue still shouted to check in person.

"You have to stay and communicate with the whistleblower on the Internet to see if the other party can provide more clues and make it easier for us to investigate! Besides, there has been a shortage of manpower in the archives recently, and the files are almost piled up. With Zichen and Jiudao in the past, you still don't feel at ease?"

In fact, Shen Mingyue asked to go again and again because she stayed in the club to sort out the materials and was stuffy enough, and Li Yiting hit the nail on the head, just to make her die quickly.

Shen Mingyue nodded helplessly, expressing her reluctance. But when she replied to the letter online, saying that she had accepted the case, the whistleblower only replied with a "thank you" and remained silent. After that, no matter what Shen Mingyue asked, she did not receive a reply from the whistleblower. This made Shen Mingyue a little suspicious in her heart, could it be that the whistleblower had also been persecuted and could not contact herself? Or did this matter really not exist, and the report letter itself was forged? No matter what, after Liu Zichen and Kuang Suo got the order, they immediately set off, and with them going out in person, Shen Mingyue believed that they would definitely be able to find out the truth of the matter.
