Chapter Ninety-Four: The Truth Comes Out

Flying Eagle Battery Factory, the wide and tall two iron pillar doors are tightly closed, a row of police stand in front of the iron gate to maintain order, outside, there are hundreds of excited workers, although under the deterrence of the police, they do not have too much reaction, but still loud noise, asking the factory to give an explanation, and then outside, see the lively crowd surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

In the inconspicuous corner of the crowd, a middle-aged man with bald hair is holding a notebook to record something, he is Yang Ming, a reporter of the "Hot Perspective" column of the provincial station, after the "hot perspective" of the "cadmium poisoning" incident of the workers of the Anton Feiying Battery Factory was exposed, the meaning of the provincial station is to track the whole process, Yang Ming observed the noisy crowd, silently recorded everything he saw, as one of the most senior reporters of the provincial station, he has always believed that the news should be objective and fair, and some reporters nowadays wantonly distort the facts for personal gain, It is really hateful to criticize and write about certain people and things according to the need, or to sing praises of virtue.

Yang Ming is well aware of the dangers of the nickel-cadmium battery factory, and he fully supports the provincial and Taiwan's stance this time, and he is extremely indignant at the practice of Anton's local government axe only seeking economic benefits, ignoring Anton's environment, and treating the health of the people as a child's play.

"Tell Liu Qiguang to get out!"

"We want justice!"

Led by some radical workers, a new round of shouts sounded again.

The iron pillar door slowly opened, and the crowd twitched, "Liu Qiguang is out!" The workers shouted excitedly, and the workers in the front row rushed up, and the police lined up the Chengren wall and blocked it.

In the factory compound, more than a dozen people dressed as cadres came out surrounded by a young man, and when the workers found Liu Qiguang, they became even more agitated, shouted louder, and rushed forward, and some workers had already begun to have physical contact with the police.

The young man who walked in front looked at the situation in front of him, frowned slightly, and then stretched out his hand, someone next to him handed him a megaphone, he glanced at the surroundings, and then jumped onto the half-meter-high stone pier next to the courtyard gate.

"Comrades, be quiet and listen to me!" The sound of the loudspeaker attracted everyone's attention, and some people who knew the young man gradually quieted down, of course, some people were still making loud noises, and some people shouted: "Tell Liu Qiguang to speak!" "Yes, we want him to give me an explanation!"

The young man said loudly: "I am Tang Yi, the mayor of Andong City, I think, I am more qualified than Director Liu to give you an explanation, right?" ”

The noise immediately subsided, and thousands of eyes looked at the delicate young man on the stone pier, and most of the workers who rushed to the front took a few steps back, perhaps, because they knew the relationship between the young people's identity, and then looked at this handsome young man, these workers, the hearts of the masses inexplicably rose some awe.

Yang Ming looked at the young mayor with interest and put a big question mark on his notebook.

Tang Yi looked around the audience and said loudly: "I understand and understand everyone's feelings, but now your actions can't solve the problem, can it be said that the problem of Feiying Factory paying everyone a sum of money will be solved?" Will you be able to buy back your health? ”

The crowd was in an uproar again, and someone shouted loudly in a hurry: "Mayor Tang, what do you mean, we are really poisoned?" ”

Tang Yi looked at that person and said slowly: "Look, you don't know if there is something wrong with your health, do you?" Therefore, the top priority now is to conduct a detailed physical examination for everyone, health, is a big problem, can not be delayed, if everyone's health is really problematic, I promise, even if Feiying Battery Factory he Liu Qiguang is in prison, the money should be compensated! If you don't have any money to lose, you will sell the Flying Eagle Factory! If there is no money, our municipal axe will allocate funds from the treasury, in short, we will definitely take care of everyone's life! Please rest assured about this. ”

The noise became quieter and quieter, and everyone was listening carefully to Tang Yi's speech.

Tang Yi paused for a moment and said: "Cadmium poisoning, in fact, is not as mysterious as everyone thinks, I have consulted many medical experts, cadmium poisoning is still very easy to detect, with the technical conditions of our Andong City People's Hospital, blood and urine can be detected, of course, I know everyone's doubts, there must be people who think, the city hospital will not cover the Flying Eagle Factory, although I think this is not to worry at all, but in order to eliminate everyone's doubts, we contacted the Affiliated Hospital of Yanjing Military Medical University for our physical examination, What is the surname of this hospital, you may not know, later we will send cadmium poisoning and the hospital's information, everyone see, I will give you a day, tomorrow, if you are willing to go to Yanjing for a physical examination, you will come here to register, and three days later, you will set off to Yanjing! ”

"Of course, if there are still people who have doubts, they can also contact the hospital for a physical examination, as long as it is a regular hospital, we will verify that there is no problem, and the results of the physical examination are equally valid."

The workers were talking to each other, and their emotions were no longer as excited as they had just been.

Tang Yi looked around the audience and waited for a minute before he said: "Now, I hope you go back and think carefully, what to do is in the fundamental interests of everyone, for your own good, for the good of your family!" ”

Tang Yi jumped off the stone pier, the police slowly retreated, and the municipal axe staff and the medical staff of the Municipal People's Hospital wearing white coats began to squeeze into the crowd to distribute information, and patiently explained if there were problems.

Half an hour later, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Tang Yi took the mineral water handed over by Huang Lin, and drank a few sips, his mouth was really dry, he hadn't said so much loudly for a long time.

In the crowd in the distance, Yang Ming glanced at Tang Yi deeply, turned around, and left with the scattered crowd.

Liu Qiguang looked at Tang Yi with a grateful face, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, mayor, thank you." ”

Tang Yi said coldly: "Talk to the workers seriously and patiently in the morning, will it lead to such a situation?" You manager, unqualified! ”

Liu Qiguang was ashamed and ashamed, bowed his head and did not speak.

……

As the name suggests, Wenbei Building is a dozen residential buildings on the north side of Wenhua Road, and the old buildings more than ten years ago have mottled walls washed out by rainwater.

In the afternoon of this day, several small cars drove into Wenbei and slowly stopped.

The front Audi door opened, and Gu Xiwu, secretary general of the municipal party committee, got out of the car first, he glanced at Tang Yi, who got out of the car from the other side, and had some doubts in his heart.

Before getting off work, Tang Yi found him and said that he wanted to visit Ma Hongli, the worker of the Flying Eagle Factory who was sure of cadmium poisoning.

Gu Xiwu is now the executive deputy head of the "cadmium poisoning incident" investigation team, and he understands Secretary Sun's intention of placing him in this position.

Let's just say that this investigation team, in order to reflect the importance of the municipal party committee and the municipal axe, naturally by Secretary Sun Yuhe as the team leader, Mayor Tang Yi as the political commissar, logically speaking, the secretary and the mayor are nominal leaders, the real investigation is to be carried out by his executive coordination departments, but Mayor Tang is personally about the cadmium poisoning incident, and even personally went to the Flying Eagle Factory to persuade and educate the workers, the 479 workers of the Flying Eagle Factory have all taken more than a dozen buses to Yanjing more than ten days ago, He should have already undergone a medical examination at the Affiliated Hospital of Yenching Military Medical University.

Gu Xiwu pondered the cadmium poisoning incident very seriously, and admired Secretary Yuhe's powerful skills, after all, with the development trend of the mayor's circle, it seems that Secretary Yuhe was inevitably set aside, and after the confrontation again and again, the chances of Secretary Yuhe returning the tables became more and more slim, and even, I heard that the leaders of the provincial party committee who originally supported Secretary Yuhe also had a lot of complaints about the work of the secretary, so this cadmium poisoning incident can be said to be a good opportunity that can be met but not sought, and Secretary Yuhe also seized this opportunity. Drove the mayor to the edge of the cliff.

Gu Xiwu was a little puzzled that the strategy adopted by the mayor was not to abandon the Flying Eagle Factory, but was still trying his best to prove the innocence of the Flying Eagle Factory, perhaps, because the young mayor had never experienced a fiasco, he was reluctant to give up what should be discarded, which was the most common mistake made by young cadres.

Yesterday, Secretary Yuhe had just returned from Yanjing, and Gu Xiwu guessed that Secretary Yuhe must have gone to Yanjing to prevent anyone from meddling in the medical examination of the workers in the hospital.

Seeing that Secretary Yuhe's mood was high after returning from Yanjing, Gu Xiwu knew that he had gained a lot from this trip.

But what about the mayor, bring yourself to see Ma Hongli? What kind of calculation is it again? Gu Xiwu glanced at Tang Yi again, and Tang Yi's face was so calm.

Ma Hongli lives on the first floor, the security door is not locked, and there should be someone at home.

Lin Guozhu knocked on the door a few times, and after a while, footsteps sounded in the room, and then the door was opened, and a strong man looked at the person outside the door suspiciously.

Tang Yi and Gu Xiwu had met him in the hospital, and after Ma Hongli recognized the people outside, he hurriedly got out of the way, and said with sincere fear: "Yes, it's the mayor and leaders, please come in, please come in." ”

Tang Yi silently observed him, looking at Ma Hongli's performance, he didn't know that Anton's power field was fighting to the death around him, of course, even if he was completely controlled by Secretary Yuhe, no one would tell him that he was the number one villain.

The decoration of more than 60 square meters of two bedrooms and one living room is very simple, that is, the floor tiles, sofas, and furniture are a little old and shabby.

Ma Hongli's lover and teenage son hid in the bedroom, never seen much of the world, and were very afraid of life.

Tang Yi, Gu Xiwu, Lin Guozhu, and a tall and thin middle-aged man entered the house, and everyone else was waiting outside the building.

Gu Xiwu glanced at the tall and thin middle-aged man a few times, wondering about his identity in his heart, but Tang Yi didn't introduce it, but Gu Xiwu couldn't guess it.

Ma Hongli asked Tang Yi to sit down a few times, and Tang Yi asked with concern: "Didn't the medical expenses help you solve it?" Why do you have to go home? ”

Ma Hongli grinned and said: "Take a drip at home, and it won't delay the child's work." ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, and began to chat with Ma Hongli, the tall and thin middle-aged man stood up and said, "Can I take a look at it casually?" ”

Ma Hongli nodded hurriedly.

Gu Xiwu was a little uneasy, and the corner of his eye paid attention to the middle-aged man's every move, but saw him wandering around the living room for a few steps, and then entered the kitchen, Gu Xiwu was stunned, and then smiled and said, "I'll go drink saliva." Standing up and walking to the kitchen, although it was a little indecent for him, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, to do it, but at this time, it was also a helpless move.

Ma Hongli hurriedly said: "This, there is hot water here, alas, look at me, I will not entertain guests." He took out the kettle and teacup from under the coffee table and began to pour water, Tang Yi smiled and told him not to be busy, but Gu Xiwu said: "I drink cold water, just tap water." "But the footsteps don't stop.

Gu Xiwu entered the kitchen, but saw that the middle-aged man was looking at a bowl on the kitchen cutting board, Gu Xiwu was silent, took a random bowl from the cupboard, and walked over to turn on the faucet to catch the water.

The middle-aged man sighed at this time: "How can a galvanized iron bowl be used to hold vinegar?" ”

Gu Xiwu said casually: "What? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and shouted at the living room: "Mayor, the crux of the problem has been found!" Check it out! ”

Gu Xiwuqi said: "What's the crux of it?" ”

As soon as the middle-aged man was about to speak, Tang Yi, Lin Guozhu and Ma Hongli all entered the kitchen, and the middle-aged man pointed to the iron bowl on the cutting board and turned his head to ask Ma Hongli: "Brother, this bowl often holds vinegar?" ”

Ma Hongli nodded: "That's our vinegar bowl, it's been used for several years!" ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Cadmium poisoning is caused by it." ”

"What?" Gu Xiwu and Lin Guozhu said in unison, both of them were surprised, but Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lit a cigarette.

The middle-aged man explained: "This iron bowl looks at the color, it is a galvanized bowl, and it cannot hold sour food, because industrial zinc contains about 1% cadmium, and acetic acid can dissolve the cadmium in it." ”

Gu Xiwu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Impossible, then why is his lover and son okay?" ”

The middle-aged man turned around and asked Ma Hongli: "Are your lover and son rarely jealous?" ”

Ma Hongli was stunned: "How do you know? He hadn't understood what the middle-aged man was saying.

The middle-aged man said again: "I guess it's right, you should be very jealous, do you often drink vinegar directly with this bowl?" ”

Ma Hongli nodded stupidly again, "Hey, how do you know everything?" ”

The middle-aged man turned back to Tang Yi and said: "Mayor Tang, although his lover and son have no obvious signs of cadmium poisoning, but the cadmium in the blood must have exceeded the standard. ”

Tang Yi nodded slightly, and then turned his head to Gu Xiwu and said: "Xiwu, this is Dr. Wu Qunwu, a medical expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who is an authority on metal toxicology in China, and his research on metal toxicology topics is also quite prestigious in the world medical community. ”

Gu Xiwu was stunned, at a loss for a moment.

Tang Yi turned his head to Ma Hongli and said, "Hongli, maybe you don't understand it very well, Dr. Wu thinks that this galvanized bowl is the culprit of your cadmium poisoning, and your lover and son are afraid that there are also slight signs of cadmium poisoning." In my opinion, it should be no big deal to arrange for them to have a physical examination as soon as possible and seek medical attention as soon as possible. ”

Ma Hongli listened blankly, and said for a while: "Drinking vinegar, drinking vinegar can also be poisoned?" ”

Tang Yi said to Gu Xiwu: "Xiwu, the next work is handed over to you, call the relevant departments to collect evidence and deal with the aftermath." ”

Gu Xiwu had regained his composure and nodded again and again.

Watching Tang Yi and his entourage go out, Gu Xiwu immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Sun Yuhe.

"Hello?" Sun Yuhe's voice sounded in the microphone.

Gu Xiwu tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, and reported the situation slowly: "Secretary, we found a little new situation in the home of Ma Hongli, the cadmium poisoning worker who has been confirmed, and I found it together with Mayor Tang. ”

"What's new?"

Although Secretary Yuhe's tone had not changed, for some reason, Gu Xiwu seemed to be able to hear his uneasiness, and whispered, telling Sun Yuhe about Tang Yi and Dr. Wu Qun's discoveries.

Sun Yuhe began to respond with "grace", but then he was silent, Gu Xiwu spoke for a long time, and Sun Yuhe did not squeak.

Gu Xiwu waited for a while, and finally said, "Secretary Yuhe, if there's nothing to do, I'll deal with the situation here first." ”

"Ahhh Sun Yuhe seemed to have just come back to his senses, and agreed a few times randomly.

Gu Xiwu hung up the phone, but he was taken aback, Fang Cai, it seems that he collected the line first, and he talked to Secretary Sun on the phone, as if, this is the first time that he has collected the line first, just now, he urged Secretary Yuhe even more loudly, in his heart, he was faintly impatient, this is too abnormal, why? Is it because, subconsciously, he is no longer the awesome leader?

Tang Yi and his entourage walked out of the building, and the military hurriedly opened the car door, but Tang Yi's mobile phone rang and sat in the back seat of the Audi.

"Mayor, the results of the examination are out, and no symptoms of excessive septum have been found in the blood and urine of all workers."

Tang Yi smiled: "It's hard work." ”

Huang Lin then said, "Mayor, guess who came to Yanjing?" Secretary Guo Jiangguo, he just proposed to take the workers to another hospital for a re-examination, but I refused. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "The secretary general is getting more and more angry, and you have turned a deaf ear to the secretary's orders, right?" "I was in a good mood, and I rarely joked with Huang Lin.

Huang Lin was a little embarrassed and didn't squeak.

Tang Yi thought for a while and said: "Let's recheck it once, I also think it's good to be careful and serious, Secretary Guo's suggestion is very good." ”

Huang Lin hesitated: "Then, go to the hospital that Secretary Guo said?" ”

Tang Yien sighed, and then hung up the phone.

Gu Xiwu and Guo Jiang are certainly on Sun Yuhe's side, but that is just a normal side, they will never do anything that will lead to their own catastrophe in order to support Sun Yuhe, it is Tang Yi who can rest assured that the aftermath will be handed over to Gu Xiwu to deal with, and Guo Jiang will lead the workers to other hospitals for examination.

……

More than 400 workers underwent serious whole-body examinations in two hospitals in Yanjing, and no symptoms of excessive isolation were found, but more than 20 workers were found to have other diseases, and even one worker had a tumor in his stomach.

The physical examination of the workers is also a lot of money, because it is not a simple blood and urine test, and even everyone has a full-body CT examination, Liu Qiguang unequivocally stated that he will pay all the expenses, and said that it will be regarded as employee welfare, as for the worker who gave birth to a tumor, the operation fee is also paid by the Flying Eagle Factory.

Anton TV has launched a new column, "Science Around You", the first lecture is Dr. Wu Qun, a medical expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to explain to the audience about food hygiene, some small knowledge that is easy to be ignored but often causes great hidden dangers.

Of course, the impact of cadmium poisoning is not so simple, because the cadmium-nickel battery factory worker poisoning incident in Anton made the Ministry of Health abolish the 87-year-old cadmium poisoning standard and issue the "Diagnostic Standard for Cadmium Poisoning with Occupational Surname", but the introduction of the new standard was five years earlier.

Lingnan and other southern provinces of the management department, began to test several large cadmium nickel battery factories, the results without exception, almost every factory has workers separated from the phenomenon of exceeding the standard, and even all the workers in the production workshop of a factory are all separated from the standard, in comparison, the flying eagle battery factory can be said to be a model for strict management of workers' safety production, the provincial party committee specially issued a document to praise the supervision of the Andong Municipal Party Committee and the municipal axe of the enterprise, requiring the Andong Municipal Party Committee and the municipal axe to guard against arrogance and rashness, and maintain a good work style. Provide experience and contribute to improving the level of enterprise supervision and management in the province and city (state).
