After Cao Hongwei's body was re-examined and evidence was collected, the Beiting Detective Agency, which had a complete chain of evidence, immediately notified the local relevant departments of the matter. Within a few hours of its intervention, the joint investigation team formed by the mining department issued an administrative punishment for the coal mine's concealment of the incident with lightning speed: Mei Yuanzheng, the mine manager, was given a serious warning, deducted three months' salary, and fined the coal mine 300,000 yuan.

The meaning of the local authorities is obviously that they don't want to make a big deal about it, it's just that one more person died, and the aftermath has already been dealt with, and the family members have not raised objections. Therefore, the joint investigation team finally dealt with the person in charge, Mei Yuanzheng, who was the leader of the case, symbolically with financial penalties, and as for Xue Kui, who personally handled the death list, his name did not appear in this handling opinion at all.

Such a result obviously surprised everyone in the Beiting Detective Agency, especially Shen Mingyue, who has been enthusiastically involved in this matter since she received the report on the "Micro Alliance" website, and now the truth has been revealed, but the culprit has not been punished as she should be, and she can't help but be a little depressed with little social experience.

In order to stabilize everyone's mood and continue to investigate the case in depth, Chen Tianyu recalled the guest house where he was stationed and conducted the first case analysis meeting in the local area, except for the other members of Fat Sheng and Xiao Guoyuan, who stayed at the Tao family and Wang Mazi's house to monitor.

Chen Tianyu spoke first, he said calmly: "The purpose of our coming here is to investigate the truth of the coal mine gas explosion case, and the concealment is only a problem in the process, and now we have determined this, it will definitely be helpful for the explosion case, everyone should not be troubled by certain emotions, or treat the case itself objectively, and reduce the interference of external factors." ”

Li Yiting also agreed with this point of view, he added: "Actually, I also wanted to say a long time ago that we Beiting were entrusted to come here, and the concealment was only an inducement, and the core target was the bombing, after all, it caused a situation of six deaths and one injury." Moreover, just to conceal this matter, we now all know that Xue Kui was involved in this issue, but even if he is punished, that is, like the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng, to give him a routine warning, but if the inside story of the explosion cannot be found, these are not of much significance. Now, the miner Wang Mazi and the witness Cao Bao are both dead, according to Jing Nan's autopsy report, they both have different doses of hallucinogen ether in their bodies, and it can be roughly affirmed that their deaths are related, and our next work should revolve around the deaths of the two of them. ”

Shen Mingyue was still not happy, she asked Li Yiting: "Brother Li, then forget about the concealment? What's the use of fining some money, just let the mine manager deal with it alone, is it he who arranged the list to be reported?"

Li Yiting smiled and waved his hand: "Mingyue, don't worry about this anymore, we all know that this list was reported by Xue Kui." As for whether Mei Yuanzheng understands it, this is still uncertain, and it is impossible for the death list to pass only Xue Kui's hands, and there are naturally people below who have access to it. But I still say the same thing, the key point is the bombing case, if we all focus on concealing this confirmed matter, then what about the case that has not yet been investigated?"

After Liu Zichen had close contact with Yan Baoping during this time, he was very sympathetic to her experience: "Mingyue, Yiting, don't fight, in fact, these two things are inseparable." You think, Yan Baoping's husband died in the bombing case, and then it was concealed, and then his son Cao Bao died mysteriously in the hotel, these three cases are inextricably linked to the Cao family, should we focus on investigating the situation of their family? I think that as long as we find a breakthrough in one of these points, then the other two cases may be involved. As for concealing the report and not dealing with Xue Kui, I think it may be a good thing, if he is really related to other cases, he will not jump off the wall so quickly. ”

Liu Zichen's analysis is very reasonable, investigating the bombing case and the murder case, and then going back to the concealment incident, maybe Xue Kui is really involved, Shen Mingyue is a little relieved about this, and also set her sights on the other two murder cases.

Kuangsuo took out the report given by the geological department: "Through the sampling and analysis of the No. 3 mine, the gas value there has always been normal, and the safety system, ventilation system, avoidance system and monitoring system are all operating normally without any problems." ”

Wan Yongkun also confirmed: "Yes, we also saw when we were working under the mine, the safety precautions there are indeed in place, and each group is very strict, and before we start going down the mine, we also organized safety production training for me, Master and other new employees." ”

Chen Tianyu was a little puzzled, but the measures in place in the coal mine made him feel alarmed: "In this way, everything in the coal mine is good, so how can it suddenly explode? And this is not the first time, it will come once or twice every year, is it that those gases suddenly appeared?"

Shen Mingyue suddenly had an idea at this time, and it had been buried in her heart for a long time, so she took this opportunity to say it: "Could it be that the coal mine deliberately caused an explosion accident in order to get a pension subsidy, and then deducted most of the money, and then gave the remaining money to the miners, so that the mine can empty the white wolf." ”

Liu Zichen agreed: "Well, I don't rule out this possibility, what Mingyue said actually thought of it." If there is a big difference, then this amount should not be underestimated, and as you know, the casualties are often compensated for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and I wonder if the coal mining industry is special?"

Just when Shen Mingyue raised questions, Kuangsuo happened to receive news from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and he immediately shared the news with others present: "My friend in the Civil Affairs Bureau just now found me a report on the aftermath of the coal mine, and after this incident, the city did give each victim a pension of 200,000 yuan. ”

"Only 200,000?...... To be honest, it's a little less. Li Yiting was a little skeptical of this information.

"It is true that there is only so much, because there is no need to allocate funds from above, and the amount of separate payments at the city and county level is indeed 200,000 yuan, no more than no less. Kuang Shuo said truthfully.

"It's strange that all the money allocated by the city was distributed to the families of the miners, and they were not plucked by the geese, and they did not get any benefits from it. Moreover, he has to pay another pension to Cao Hongwei, who was concealed, so isn't the coal mine itself upside down?" Li Yiting was very puzzled, and the so-called speculation of causing an explosion to defraud the pension did not make sense at all.

Kuang Suo took the report and thought that this was indeed the case: "According to our existing clues, each family did take 200,000 yuan in this bombing case, and Cao Hongwei and Tao Sansheng's families also gave more money because they were asked to keep their mouths shut. The mine reported the death of five people, and the civil affairs department issued a pension of 1 million, but the mine actually gave money to six people, and also gave more medical expenses and hush money, totaling more than 1.3 million yuan, that is to say, the mine also lost more than 300,000 yuan, which is enough to show that even if someone deliberately caused the explosion, it could not be to defraud the pension. ”

Wan Yongkun then spoke to him: "That's right, we have also contacted Gao Kehua privately, and the compensation figure he inadvertently revealed is also 1.3 million. ”

That being the case, the initial suspicion that the mine deliberately caused an explosion in order to get money is untenable, and no one else can think of the real reason why the mine would do so. It seems that there is really no reason for the mining area to create such a hurtful thing that harms others and is not good for itself, and after the accident, it will always face the risk of stopping production, compensation, inspection and even being investigated, which will also have a lot of economic losses, which are not like a small coal mine can afford.

Chen Tianyu concluded: "It seems that the explosion case still needs to be investigated from a professional and technical point of view, although we cannot find any man-made reasons and evidence now, but we still have to carry out our work with a skeptical attitude, and we cannot give up any suspicion only if we cannot completely rule out the possibility of man-made or do not find the real cause of the explosion." ”

Li Yiting nodded: "Let's put aside the explosion, now I want to talk about the murder, the local police have confirmed that in the No. 2 mine where Wang Mazi died, other people's footprints were extracted." However, due to the unsatisfactory local environment and the fact that many people had been in and out of the death scene, the footprints extracted were incomplete, and could only be roughly analyzed as the footprints of an adult male.

Chen Tianyu nodded, turned around and asked Xu Jingnan: "Jingnan, let's also convey the appraisal conclusion from your side to everyone." ”

Xu Jingnan distributed the autopsy report and said: "After repeated verification, Wang Mazi and Cao Bao both have ether in their bodies, but this is only a hallucinogen, which can make others hallucinate, not a deadly poison, and the direct cause of death of the two is not caused by ether, it can only be said that it may be accidentally ingested or someone deliberately used it on the two of them, making them look in a trance, so that they can do it." According to our test, the stone did fall off from the mine automatically, but it is also possible that it fell down in advance and then picked up and used by the murderer, so it is impossible to determine whether Wang Mazi died in an accident or killed him. As for Cao Bao, he did die of a myocardial infarction after drinking, and we also found that his skin did have symptoms of drunken allergies. ”

Chen Tianyu stood up: "Anyway, this matter hasn't come to light yet, Yongkun, let Fat Sheng withdraw from the Tao family, it's enough to have Mingyue there." The two of you are responsible for closely monitoring Xue Kui, and this person has already shown some of his feet, but since the local area has not touched him, don't startle the snake first, focus on covert surveillance, and investigate his past experience at the same time. : Zichen and Jiudao kept visiting and assisting in the periphery, and also informed Xiao Guoyuan that they must keep an eye on Wang Mazi's wife, I am worried that she is not very safe. ”

He suddenly turned his head to look at Li Yiting: "In order not to miss clues, Yiting, why don't you try to privately understand the situation of the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng and others, including his performance and actions in recent years, as well as the evaluation of the outside world, as well as Gao Kehua, Zou Qi, and the person in charge of the mining area had better investigate it." ”
