Mine manager Mei Yuanzheng finally couldn't sit still, the gas explosion case on the eighth day of the first month has not been solved, five miners lost their lives that day, and now a body has been found in the mining area, and the deceased is still Wang Mazi, the team leader who is more optimistic about him. He needs to have a good working relationship with dealers, transportation companies and the upper echelons on weekdays, and basically does not interfere in the specific affairs of the mining area, most of which are handed over to Gao Kehua and Xue Kui to deal with, and as a result, there have been continuous disasters at the beginning of the new year. He was very dissatisfied, and called the chief dispatcher Zou Qi to the office, wanting to know what had happened recently?

Zou Qi knew that the mine manager would find something to do, and if something happened at the operation level, as the chief dispatcher of the site, he must have an unshirkable responsibility. After the previous bombing, he had been suspended for inspection, but he had just resumed work a few days ago under Xue Kui's arrangement, but Wang Mazi was now dead again, and he also felt aggrieved and panicked.

When Mei Yuanzheng saw Zou Qi, he was very unhappy and asked solemnly, "Director Zou, how long will it take for you to find out the cause of the gas explosion?" Now that people are panicking, the Beiting Detective Agency has also intervened, which can easily cause serious doubts about the safety of our coal mine and the reputation of our enterprise!"

Zou Qi was inexplicably reprimanded again, and he shook his head helplessly, "Mine Manager Mei, there was a problem before the monitoring started on the eighth day of the first month, so we didn't have any information to investigate, and when we went down the mine to test afterwards, we didn't read the excess gas value again, so if you really want to say the reason, it's really too difficult to judge." ”

"That is to say, after such a long time, the result is still the same as at the beginning, I don't know what the situation is? Then we have a potential safety hazard, and continue to let the miners go down to mine, if we blow up again for no reason, how do you tell me to explain to my superiors, maybe the whole coal mine will be finished by then!" Mei Yuanzheng was very angry, safety has always been the top priority he emphasized, and now that the accident has occurred, the root cause of the accident cannot be found, and the hidden danger cannot be eliminated.

"Mine Manager Mei, this is indeed an objective difficulty! Not to mention us, didn't even the Work Safety Supervision Bureau and that detective agency find a problem? I think, maybe it's the same as before, that is, an accidental accident, and who can explain clearly what happened a few hundred meters underground?" Zou Qi defended himself, he was responsible for arranging coal mining, but he did not have the ability to study geological matters. Xue Kui, who has always been a professional, is responsible for the technical link, but Xue Kui has not given himself a real-time update of the geological conditions of the underground for several months.

Mei Yuanzheng naturally knew Zou Qi's ability, and his anger like this was purely out of hatred for iron and steel: "What happened to Wang Mazi's death? Why did he go to the No. 2 mine if he had nothing to do?"

Zou Qi was even more confused: "Speaking of this, I am even more confused by the second monk! He is always on time when he goes to work, and I can't always keep an eye on him all the time after work, and it is estimated that only he knows what he is going to do." ”

As soon as this guy asked, Mei Yuanzheng didn't want to talk nonsense with Zou Qi anymore, he understood that Xue Kui was still in charge of the main work in the mining area, and these things should have been understood by him first. But Xue Kui's background, even he, the mine manager, is a little jealous, and he tries to avoid any disputes and conflicts with Xue Kui on weekdays, so he often turns a blind eye to the specific affairs below, as long as there are no accidents and the performance is qualified, he will not interfere too much.

But now the problem is obviously getting more and more serious, Mei Yuanzheng feels that he can't stand by this time no matter what, if it continues like this, when the higher authorities will be held accountable, it will be him, the number one, who will bear the brunt, and he is not willing to bear the blame for others after more than ten years of hard work.

Mei Yuanzheng made up his mind to intervene, and he immediately ordered, "Director Zou, immediately lead people to completely seal the No. 1 and No. 2 mines, and no more miners can be allowed to enter, and a cordon should be set up nearby, telling everyone in the mining area not to approach." By the way, I've heard that many workers will go there to smoke between work, and this is also prohibited, if they want to smoke, let them come to the office building to smoke, and if they smoke near the pit and light a fire, they will be fined or fired!"

"Okay, I'll go and set it up right away. After Zou Qi finished speaking, he walked outside.

"Wait a minute!" Mei Yuanzheng quickly stopped him again, he felt that since he wanted to rectify, he had to do his best, "After these things are arranged, you will personally prepare a special safety inspection team with the participation of each team leader to carry out a safety production inspection of all hidden dangers in the mining area, especially the No. 3 mine currently being mined and the No. 4 mine that is about to be put into use, and it is necessary to strictly investigate the signs of accidents." By the way, the instruments and equipment you monitor should also be re-tested and overhauled, if it is true that the quality is not good for a long time, you make an application report and I will give you approval, it is okay to spend a little more money, but you must replace it immediately!"

Zou Qi naturally has no opinion, many of the testing instruments have indeed been used for several years, although they can still be used reluctantly, but sometimes there will be various sudden failures, and it takes time and effort to repair, if the mine is willing to spend money to buy new ones, of course he is happy, and he can save him a lot of trouble. After receiving Mei Yuanzheng's order, Zou Qi immediately went to carry out safety production inspection and eliminate hidden dangers, and passed the words of the mine manager to the leader of each production team, asking everyone to pay close attention to it.

Since the cause of the explosion accident and the death incident is still unclear, he is determined not to let the tragedy continue to repeat, and the top priority is to try to avoid another accident before the truth is clarified. Therefore, he wanted to call his direct superior, Qin Xuechuan, who is also the leader in charge of his coal mine and deputy director of the DT Municipal Mining Bureau, to negotiate.

"What?...... Mine Manager, you plan to take the initiative to stop production and rectify?...... Are you sure there is a need for this?" Qin Xuechuan was taken aback, in his many years in office, it was the first time he heard that the coal mine had taken the initiative to request a shutdown, you must know that the loss of stopping production for one day would be not small, in today's environment where interests are paramount, those coal mines are eager to be used for two days a day, and operate uninterrupted day and night.

"I don't want to, Director Qin, but you tell me, alas...... The real cause of the explosion on the eighth day of our first year has not yet been ascertained, and today we found a miner who died unexpectedly in the abandoned No. 2 mine.

Qin Xuechuan is naturally very clear about the gas explosion case, but when another miner died, he doesn't know about it, but the accidental death of a person does not seem to make the entire coal mine shut down, he continued: "Lao Mei, I can understand your feelings, but don't be too cautious. If something happens and the production is stopped, a year is so long, and after a few times, it will be difficult for your output to meet the expectations at the beginning of the year......!

Unexpectedly, Mei Yuanzheng's attitude was unprecedentedly resolute: "I'm sorry, Director Qin, I can't exchange my performance for my life, and many of them are old employees who have followed me for many years, I can't watch their family die." Please think carefully, at most it will be a few days of production, I have just called someone to investigate, if there is no problem, I promise to return to work immediately. ”

Hearing Mei Yuanzheng's soft and hard tone, Qin Xuechuan understood that his old acquaintance would not let go, so he no longer insisted. The shutdown of the coal mine is mainly the loss of the mine, and the mining bureau is at most a joint and several supervision responsibility, and this is only a small and medium-sized coal mine, which is really insignificant compared to hundreds of local coal mining enterprises, and he is not guilty of taking responsibility for it, in case of another accident, it will not be good.

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

Xu Jingnan, who dissected Wang Mazi's corpse in the bureau, also confirmed an important conjecture of his own that day, that is, in Wang Mazi's body, there is indeed a hallucinogen ether, and the content is not low, obviously much higher than the proportion of the five miners left in the body before, but this is also very easy to explain. After all, Wang Mazi was tested immediately after being found dead that day, while the five miners had been dead for many days and would always volatilize a lot over time, but in spite of this, ether was found in the blood of all six of them, and this common denominator was obviously a major discovery.

At least for Wang Mazi, the cause of his death cannot be ruled out as being fainted by hallucinogens or unconscious, which seems to be beyond doubt. In that case, he entered the No. 2 mine and was subsequently accidentally stoned to death, so how did he ingest ether, or who used ether on him? The purpose of using hallucinogens was to kill people directly or to induce him into the mine? These suspicions gradually surfaced, and the murder suspicion in Wang Mazi's death case rose sharply!

After he informed Beiting of the situation, Chen Tianyu believed that the current evidence still could not show that Wang Mazi's death was related to the coal mine explosion, and that it could be investigated as an isolated murder case for the time being, and the cause of his death was obvious, he was hit on the head by a large rock in the mine and died.

Hearsay naturally could not be the direction of Beiting's case, so in order to find out the murderer's purpose, Liu Zichen and Kuang Suo immediately rushed to Wang Mazi's house, intending to meet his wife. After hearing that Wang Mazi died, his wife was grief-stricken, washing her face with tears all day long, not eating or drinking, no matter who talked to her, it didn't matter, and it was the same after Liu Zichen and Kuangsuo went. When Liu Zichen mentioned Wang Mazi's name, his wife began to cry again, crying and crying and almost holding her breath, it seemed that she was going to faint again, and the neighbor's aunt who came to take care of her hurriedly helped her to lie on the bed, and kindly reminded Liu Zichen not to disturb her for the time being, repeated questioning could only make her suffer more damage, Liu Zichen had to give up first.

During Liu Zichen's inquiry, Kuang Suo seized the time to take a rough turn around Wang Mazi's house, and the situation at home was recorded in the pacing by the way: there are three rooms and a courtyard, in terms of decoration and furniture arrangement, it is relatively better than Tao Sansheng's house, of course, the Tao family is indeed too poor. After all, Wang Mazi is the team leader, and the salary is definitely better than that of ordinary miners, but Wang Mazi's family conditions can only be regarded as ordinary, but the first impression is that there is not much pressure to survive, but there are no high-end household appliances, and there are no particularly valuable things.
