Chapter 102: After the "Disappearance" of the County Party Secretary (Part I)

(The secretary of the county party committee was "missing" in the last stop of the flood fight and rescue, and the town of Getan was "missing"; The secretary and mayor of the town will realize that the responsibility lies with him and there is no excuse. But they did not dare to report it immediately to the county leaders at home; and did not dare to search for it with great fanfare; can only quietly investigate and secretly visit-) It is said that on the night when the county party committee's "flood fighting, rescue and disaster relief inspection group" arrived in Getan Town; After having dinner in the canteen of the town organ and being arranged to live in the town guest house, Secretary Bai of the town party committee repeatedly instructed when he said goodbye: "Secretary Zhong, Secretary Jiang, your inspection team is on the front line of flood fighting, and they have traveled to more than a dozen village committees in several townships and towns on foot in one day; Where to go, I have to help the masses transfer; Even if it is an iron body, it should have fallen apart a long time ago. At present, in our town of Getan, where the disaster is most serious, the low-lying villagers have been properly relocated. You can rest assured that you will be able to sleep peacefully tonight. What if something goes wrong at night? We have arranged for town cadres to take turns on duty, and we will also deal with the problem at any time. Sleep ye and never be distracted. ”

After Secretary Bai and the other town cadres left, everyone slept peacefully. But Jiang Xincheng, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, who was lying on the bed in the next room, couldn't sleep for a long time. It's not that he's not worried about the town's work arrangements; I didn't realize that there was still a floating population, and it was not included in the disaster relief target. He was not at ease with his immediate boss, Secretary Zhong Jingliang himself. Since the change of the party committee last winter, he became a member of the Standing Committee and became the secretary of the political and legal committee, because of his direct subordination; As a result, the number of contacts with them has increased, and the diligent ones have become more diligent, so it is advisable to deepen their understanding of them day by day. In Jiang Xincheng's consciousness: Zhong Jingliang is definitely loyal to the party; Serious about career and work; A good leader who cares for his colleagues and subordinates. Always think about everything. But before he went into the house that night and lay down, he was always a little restless and thoughtful; And since he fell asleep, even though separated by a thin wall, he could hear the intermittent coughing of his companions in the opposite room, and the sound of the bed slamming when people turned over. At first, he mistakenly thought that it was caused by the other party's lack of adaptation to sleeping in a new environment, so he didn't take it to heart.

Because he was really sleepy, he fell asleep very quickly. But when he woke up and went to the bathroom at the east end of the corridor to relieve himself, he suddenly saw that the door of the room where the secretary slept was ajar; He thought that the other party also went to the bathroom to relieve himself, and he thought that he would just ask the other party with concern: "Are you unwell"; But I didn't meet anyone in the bathroom; Just when he was turning, he asked with concern in his room: "Is Secretary Zhong unwell, why do I hear that you are always coughing?" However, he asked three times in a row, but no one answered. So, he had to go into the house and turn on the lights. But the bed in the room was empty; Where are the figures of the patrol team leader and the secretary of the county party committee?

Jiang Xincheng panicked this time, and hurriedly dialed the duty number of the "Flood Fighting, Rescue and Disaster Relief Office" in Getan Town. When he was told the news that "I didn't see Secretary Zhong coming to town", Jiang Xincheng was extremely nervous for a while; Although he knew that the other party was not a three-year-old child after all, but a mature man; And he is also a party secretary who commands a county with a population of 800,000! Never do anything out of the ordinary. But Jiang Xincheng understands the persistent personality of his boss better: what he sees and wants to do, he will never give up until he does it well. Judging from his series of performances after returning to the guest house last night, he must have a big secret hidden in his heart. What could it be? It will definitely have something to do with "flood fighting, rescue and disaster relief"; It may even be related to the relocation of low-lying flooded villagers. Yes, just search from this line of thought, and you will definitely find the trace of the secretary! Thinking about this, Jiang Xincheng immediately entered the guest room, put on a raincoat and a flashlight, and wanted to go out to find the secretary, but at the turn of the stairs, he met Secretary Bai, Mayor Wang and Deputy Mayor Liu, who came in a hurry after hearing the news.

"Secretary Bai, Mayor Wang, and Deputy Mayor Liu, why did you two alarm you too?" But after the three of them entered the house together, Jiang Xincheng said very carelessly. "Because I got up in the middle of the night to relieve myself, I didn't see Secretary Zhong sleeping in his room; I just called the town duty room and asked casually. I don't want to alarm you. You have been fighting on the front line for several days, and you have indeed worked too hard and tired. ”

"The parents of the 800,000 people in the county, the dignified secretary of the Jinshui County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, in order to fight floods and rescue disasters, but they 'lost' their 'traces' in my small town of Getan." Secretary Bai sounded ridiculous, but in fact said seriously. "You say that the princes of this place, how can I still sleep? Therefore, we are here, let's sit down and analyze carefully: how many places does Secretary Zhong have? Where exactly will he go? ”

"Hey, I don't think we need to worry about it, 'the worm farts to surprise itself'. After all, Secretary Zhong is a big person, and he is not a playful child, so he can't lose it. "Mayor Wang, who has always been hip-hop and has a big temper, and doesn't care about his personality, smoked a dry cigarette and spread his hands." Besides, in a place like Gotan Town, where the ass is bigger, soaking and peeing can go from the east of the street to the west of the street; And at present, the surrounding area is surrounded by floods, and even a sparrow cannot fly away; Are we still afraid that some bad guy will kidnap the secretary of the county party committee and leave? ”

"That's what I said. If it's daylight in the middle of the day, then do you have to worry about it again? Secretary Bai shook his head and said disapprovingly. But isn't this a special period for 'flood fighting, rescue and disaster relief', and is it just at night? I still have the old idea: everything needs to be considered from the bad and work hard for the good; In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let's first analyze the problem thoroughly and make the measures auspicious and specific; After that, we should pay close attention to the organization and first visit all parts of the moat embankment; If it is still missing, yachts and fishing boats will be sent to search further along the banks of the river. ”

"In my opinion, we need to act on both sides at the same time." Deputy Mayor Liu, who has always been timid and fearful, but works seriously and cautiously, seriously thought about the suggestion. "Here, let's take positive and practical actions and organize a strong search team to look everywhere; That side will continue to report to the deputy commander-in-chief of the county, that is, County Magistrate Zhou, in a timely manner. Although Secretary Jiang was still present here, he was the center after all; reported to County Magistrate Zhou, if something really happens, the responsibility of our town and Secretary Jiang will be relatively small. ”

"Lao Liu, it's not that I always like to criticize you; At present, you always think about responsibility first. Secretary Bai said dissatisfiedly. You can rest assured, regarding Secretary Zhong's temporary 'disappearance', no matter what the outcome is, this responsibility will not be borne by you or Mayor Wang. I'm the squad leader, so naturally I'm responsible. But I still say the same thing: If there are contradictions and problems, we can't just push them up and down. Wait for three days and two days, and we'll really try our best to look for it everywhere; And indeed it was not found; Then it's not too late to report to the county and to the county magistrate Zhou. For example, if Secretary Zhong can't sleep at night, he has a whim: he is not at ease with the new migrant households affected by the disaster, and suddenly thinks of going deep into the migrant households to visit the poor and ask about the suffering; But you hurried to report to the county; was so alarmed that the county magistrates came; It turned out to be a false alarm; That's not good. ”

"I also agree with this view: after hard searching, see the final result, and see if it needs to be reported to the county magistrates." Mayor Wang pressed another pot of cigarette and took a few puffs before saying. "But I want to buy time and speed up the search, do we send a notice to the surrounding and villages on both sides of the river?"

"That's not right. Because after all, Secretary Zhong has a special identity. Jiang Xincheng immediately shook his head and said. Although the 'class struggle' is not mentioned in words at present, it objectively exists after all, and although the overall social order in our county is good, it is inevitable that there will still be blind spots. If we really publicize Secretary Zhong's disappearance, it is not good to oppose Secretary Zhong's safety. ”

"I look at it like this: let's set a plate first, and in the matter of looking for Secretary Zhong, let's make it tight inside and loose outside. did not report to the county magistrates; Nor will there be any 'co-search notices' to the surrounding areas and along the banks of the river. Secretary Bai said immediately. It mainly depends on organizing our own vitality: the town organs and the town directly organized a patrol team of 50 people, divided into four groups to search for patrols at the four gates of the embankment; This includes going deep into the new villages of immigrants, going door to door, and searching through a sieve. In addition, ten speedboats and ten fishing boats were organized in the town street, each of which was equipped with competent personnel, and searched and patrolled the whole process along the north and south. Secretary Jiang and Mayor Wang sat in command of the formation; I went to the front line with Deputy Mayor Liu: I took a speedboat, and Deputy Mayor Liu took a fishing boat; One phone call per hour; Communicate search results to each other—"

So that night, people from all walks of life took immediate action, and the lights inside and outside the embankment were intertwined with torches and flashlights shining as bright as day - the party committee and government of Getan Town were really very energetic in searching for the temporary "disappearance" of the secretary of the county party committee: mobilizing the town party committee organs, township departments, and fishermen along the river, a total of no less than 200 people; Starting from the second half of the night, it lasted three days and two midnights; and a range of five to seven miles around the town street; The upstream and downstream of the river are more than 10 miles away, and it is really like a sieve, all of them are searched; The result was still in vain.

However, until this time, Secretary Bai of the town party committee and Jiang Xincheng, deputy head of the inspection team, had not finally given up; They don't believe that they are a big person, more than seven feet tall, no more than forty years old, handsome, healthy, and lively, and they are the only county party secretary in the county; A few days ago, he also made a report at the county's rural meeting, and before the flood came, he also made important instructions at the county's "flood fighting, rescue and disaster relief" television and telephone conference! How can you say that it evaporates in the world, does the bento really evaporate in the world? No way. Which new immigrant village must he be hiding in temporarily, visiting the poor and asking about their suffering? or which village committee office in the disaster area is temporarily sheltering and talking with the same village; After the catastrophe, how to develop production and carry out production self-help? According to this line of thinking, in the first few days, they braved the rain to go to the new village of immigrants several times, not only to visit the poor and the poor, but also to check the traces of the county party secretary; When the action was still fruitless, they went to the flooded village, and while discussing the post-disaster production self-rescue plan with the village cadres, they secretly searched for the secretary of the county party committee; Naturally, it is still in vain -
