This idea was immediately affirmed by Chen Tianyu, and he was also thinking about the way he came before, after all, Liu Zichen and Kuang Suo's pre-investigation hit a lot of soft nails, and it seemed that it was difficult to find valuable clues, so it was time to take a more alternative approach to give it a try. So he immediately arranged for Li Yiting and Wan Yongkun, the two best people, to find a way to sneak in, because there are many crises under the coal mine, and there are problems with the environment and air quality, like Liu Zichen After going last time, his body obviously felt very uncomfortable, so he had to be a physically fit person to complete the task.
Shen Mingyue stood up, and she still had something to say: "Wait a minute, if you let Brother Li and the two of them go, then I will also participate!"
"You?" the crowd looked at her strangely, and then laughed in unison, "Hahaha......"
"What's so funny!" Shen Mingyue was confused.
"Mingyue, look at your delicate appearance, what do you look like a miner?" Li Yiting said with a smile.
Shen Mingyue glanced at herself and replied angrily, "Why doesn't it look like it? Do miners still stipulate their appearance? Anyway, I came up with this idea, so I should be allowed to go!"
Chen Tianyu also thought it was quite interesting, but he felt that Shen Mingyue's idea was good, and he was bold, and if a girl went in together, it would be easier to carry out the work, so he nodded unexpectedly and agreed to let Shen Mingyue join, as for how to arrange Shen Mingyue's identity, he had his own clever plan.
So, Chen Tianyu finally decided to arrange Li Yiting to play the role of the eldest brother, and let Wan Yongkun and Shen Mingyue pretend to be husband and wife and enter the coal mine together. But there is also a troublesome problem, if a good person wants to go in to become a miner, it seems that there needs to be a good reason, otherwise if someone is suddenly arranged, it will be difficult to ensure that it will not arouse the suspicion of others.
Shen Mingyue had already thought about it, she downloaded a regular document from the Internet and handed it to others one by one. It turned out that the local New Year's recruitment will be held next week, of which coal miners are the focus, and the coal mine where Tao Sansheng is located will recruit more than a dozen people at a time. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is also the source of Shen Mingyue's creativity, when she saw this recruitment document, she already had the idea of breaking into the interior, this time it was officially proposed and finally approved at the discussion meeting in Beiting, which can be regarded as satisfying her wishes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In the mine, Wang Mazi, who was demoted, was also in a bad mood, he just wanted to work here to earn money and support his family, but he inevitably fell into a dispute, and this dispute itself has nothing to do with himself.
On the day of the explosion on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Mazi was the leader of one of the three groups of people who came to work, and Tao Sansheng was in the other group. After he heard the explosion in the mine, he knew that something bad had happened again, so he immediately ran out with his own people, and when he arrived at the mine entrance, he happened to see Tao Mei. Tao Mei cried and turned back, and he soon learned that it was Tao Sansheng who had an accident.
Even so, although he was present, he did not know anything about the explosion, and it was not until the fire brigade arrived to save people that he found the dead man. As for how many people died, the follow-up compensation still has nothing to do with him, so he doesn't care at all.
But on the morning of Tao Sansheng's discharge from the hospital, Xue Kui, the deputy mine manager, suddenly called himself into the office, saying that he had a personal matter to talk to him. Wang Mazi is strange, this Deputy Mine Manager Xue usually looks down on them the dirty miners the most, why do you want to find yourself in person today?
When he arrived at the place, after a few words, Wang Mazi knew that it was Xue Kui who had a task to tell him to do it.
The leader has something to do, and Wang Mazi, as the team leader, will naturally follow it, and it seems that there is no need to be so mysterious. Later, Xue Kui said that he wanted to deliberately provoke Tao Sansheng, and he said that if Tao Sansheng came back, as long as he was assigned to his own group, he would create contradictions to make Tao Sansheng anxious. Because Tao Sansheng has a bad temper and is an acute child, he may not be able to hold back the conflict at that time, and then he can find a reason to expel Tao Sansheng.
As for why he wanted to deal with Tao Sansheng, Xue Kui didn't say it explicitly, but Wang Mazi was not stupid. Tao Sansheng was the only survivor of the explosion on the eighth day of the first month, in other words, he was the only one who knew everything that happened when the explosion occurred that day. There must be something unsightly in the mine or the handle was caught by Tao Sansheng, so it will be implicated in the mine, so the leaders will naturally want to deal with it quickly, and they must find a high-sounding reason to drive people away first, but this matter fell on Wang Mazi's head.
Xue Kui took a fancy to himself, Wang Mazi felt that this might be the trust of the leader, but it was more fear, after all, there were many internal things in these things, and he was an outsider and couldn't see through, but he was pulled in. But there is no way, Xue Kui has spoken, he has no choice but to listen, if he disobeys, maybe Xue Kui will find someone else to deal with him, he still has to make money to support his family, but he can't easily lose his job. Moreover, Xue Kui also promised that he would be rewarded afterwards, and it was okay to get a promotion and a salary increase.
In the face of coercion and temptation, Wang Mazi agreed to Xue Kui's request on the spot, and then created a conflict in the mine, which quickly annoyed Tao Sansheng. After Tao Sansheng beat himself, he asked others to prove that it was Tao Sansheng who made the first move, and then began to retaliate, and let his subordinates teach Tao Sansheng a hard lesson, but he himself was slightly injured, of course, it was nothing compared to Tao Sansheng.
This matter has been going according to the design, and after Tao Sansheng beat himself, the mine soon issued a notice to fire Tao Sansheng. But the matter was not over, and in the same notice, he also demoted himself, which made Wang Mazi very unhappy, and immediately went to find Xue Kui. But he didn't expect that Xue Kui immediately seemed to be a different person, and he didn't admit that Wang Mazi was instructed by himself to make trouble, and threatened Wang Mazi not to go out and talk nonsense, otherwise he would be fired together.
Wang Mazi, who couldn't say the bitterness, had to give up, there was no evidence, he couldn't prove that Xue Kui instructed him behind the scenes, but others had evidence, so many people saw with their own eyes that he and Tao Sansheng were fighting, which was a loss everywhere. For the sake of staying in the mine to work, Wang Mazi had no choice but to swallow his anger, but he was also lying dormant. After all, Xue Kui is arrogant and has a lot of enemies, he must be able to find Xue Kui's handle, and then find the right opportunity to sue the emperor, at least in Wang Mazi's opinion, the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng and the second deputy mine manager Gao Kehua are good people, but they were deceived by Xue Kui.
After work that day, Wang Mazi, who had finished changing shifts, came to the vicinity of the No. 1 mine alone, he was still thinking about how to find evidence of Xue Kui's crime, and unconsciously walked into this mine that had been abandoned for a long time. Before Wang Mazi came to work here, the No. 1 mine had been shut down and not used, and it was said that there had been an accident and something terrible, so it was simply sealed. However, after such a long time, the mine mouth has long been exposed, and when there is nothing to do, there will be miners who come here to smoke a cigarette and chat.
Wang Mazi walked inside, and found that this place was no different from the No. 3 mine where he usually worked, and the external structure was very similar, he was curious and wanted to look inside, but he remembered those rumors in the past, and was a little hesitant. At this moment, he heard some strange sounds coming from the empty shaft, which aroused his curiosity, because after being in the No. 3 mine for so long, there seemed to be no similar sound, how could there be a sound in this long-abandoned place?
Wang Mazi continued to walk inside, but it was too dark inside, so he had to turn on the miner's lamp on the safety hat on his head, barely illuminating the road and mine wall in front of him. The more you walk in, the more obvious the strange echo becomes, it seems that there are still human voices, and the seemingly bold Wang Mazi began to furry in his heart, this ghost place is not used all year round, how can there be someone underneath?
At this time, he felt that it was a little infiltrating, and it was better to go back, so he turned his head, only to realize that he had already come in some distance. Except for the faint light at the mouth of the mine, it was dark all around, and even the lamp on the head was a little dim because it had been used for a long time. He quickened his pace and continued to walk outside, the miner's lamp flickering back and forth on either side of the wall.
Suddenly, on the mine wall in front of Wang Mazi's left, something seemed to be moving, Wang Mazi was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to see it clearly. But he found that there was nothing moving there, but there were wings attached there.
"It turned out to be a dead flying insect. Wang Mazi breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to continue walking away, but was suddenly stunned. He remembered the legend that had been passed down in the coal mine that a miner had seen a terrible grimace butterfly in the mine and had died shortly after returning.
Wang Mazi couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart, and muttered, "Could it be ......?"
I don't know where the courage came from, he slammed the lamp on his head, and above the wings on the wall, a terrifying face appeared in front of Wang Mazi's eyes. Two hollow eyes, a big mouth, and several broken holes were densely poked in the middle of the butterfly's body, and the head that should have been beautiful became extremely terrifying, twisted and deformed like a ghost.
Wang Mazi was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he instantly understood that this was indeed a grimace butterfly, and the previous rumors were not false. This time he saw it with his own eyes, and he regretted it so much, why did he run to this long-abandoned No. 1 mine? Why did he inexplicably shine a picture on the mine wall? This is the end, I heard that none of the people who have seen the grimace butterfly survived, and everyone will die soon!
Now, if I accidentally see this grimace butterfly, does it mean that I am about to die?
Wang Mazi didn't dare to look at it anymore, his mind was blank, and he desperately ran away from the mine and rushed towards the mine!
