Chapter 148: The Funeral Parlor
Fushun pedaled his bicycle frantically, called the police at the nearest police station, and then took the police to the construction site in a police car.
At the scene of the accident, "Tie Guan Li" held a shovel in his hand, and "Wang Luzi" held a brick in his hand, swearing to protect their dearest big brother.
The lights of the ambulance on the side rotated weakly, and the three "white coats" tried to get close to the deceased, but were blocked by two angry "guards" five meters away. Lao Wang and Lao Li are like two hungry tigers, with the momentum of "whoever dares to approach will tear him apart".
Because of the chirping of ambulances and police cars, the people who had just dispersed gathered again. The call sign of "Ula Ula" seems to be playing a heart-wrenching mourning music. The people who gradually gathered together, mostly casual workers who shared the same illness, were like attending a funeral, and everyone had unspeakable sorrow on their faces.
The towering electronic edifice is like a tombstone that has not yet been engraved with its name!
Fu Shun led two policemen to rush to Brother Zhu's corpse, and Lao Li and Lao Wang relaxed their vigilance and made a way for them. Occasionally, a fly perched on the blurred flesh, and "Iron Kidnapper" wielded a shovel to chase away the nasty filth.
Manager Hu pulled the doctor and walked vigilantly to the deceased. "Doctor, look at ......"
The doctor put on gloves and a mask, crouched down to examine it, and shook his head. "This is what is often referred to as broken bones, including the skull, and no bones are intact......
After the police simply took pictures, they had already set up a cordon, and a piece of white cloth replaced the mats in the hands of the two staff members. After communicating with the doctor, the police asked, "Who is in charge here?" ”
Hu Mingquan walked to the front tremblingly, and pulled out a cigarette from his trouser pocket with trembling hands. The project manager, who led hundreds of workers, was pale at this time. Although he is also a weathered builder, he followed his parents to build roads and bridges in the mountains during the third-tier period, and witnessed an accident in which he broke his arm and leg, but as the first person responsible, it was the first time that he died. What's more, tomorrow is the topping out ceremony of this new landmark. Now it's all smashed!
There had been a crash of workers in Haixi before, and project management had not yet been implemented. After investigation, the main responsibility lies with the construction captain and the safety captain, and the two people are in collusion. All the safety equipment used was not up to standard, the company lost money, not to mention, and the two main responsible persons were also sentenced. Thinking of this, Hu Mingquan shuddered.
He hadn't figured out how to explain it to the company - now the company's leaders were already rushing here.
"Comrade policeman, I will definitely cooperate with your investigation! Our safety manager is also here......" Hu Mingquan pulled the safety manager aside. While hiding his nervousness, he also shifted the direct responsibility to the safety manager.
The safety manager was wearing a hard hat and looked like he had just come down from the high-rise elevator of the construction, and there were several frightened high-level workers standing behind him. "Manager Hu, I just went up to check, Zhu Jianguo made a mistake in his operation and did not tie the safety rope according to the regulations, you see, ......" The security manager pulled the police to Zhu Jianguo's side, lifted the white cloth he had just put on, and took out a bloodstained safety rope. His rope buckle wasn't fastened to the steel frame at all! ”
One policeman took notes on the side, while the other checked the safety rope and nodded. "The result of a qiē is subject to the work safety supervision bureau! The body can be sent to the funeral home! The temperature is too high, it will stink overnight, are the family members coming? ”
"He's a foreigner, and he hasn't informed his family yet!" Manager Hu replied.
"You have to do a good job of pacifying, and send people to the funeral home first! We will do further investigation, and all the people at the scene will be evacuated first, so as not to cause a group accident......"
"Good! Thank you, comrade police......"
"That's right," he was about to leave. One of the policemen in the lead raised his head and glanced at the building, "Manager, tomorrow's capping ceremony ......" As a police station in the jurisdiction, it is so important for tomorrow's activities. Of course, I have already received a notice of stability maintenance.
"We have reported to the leaders, they are on their way here......" Hu Mingquan could not finish speaking, and an off-road vehicle and two cars drove into the temporary parking lot of the construction site.
Ma Ziang walked in front, and other leaders of the company also followed. Because of a safety accident that alarmed the entire party committee, Hu Mingquan may be the first.
"Secretary Ma, Mr. Huang. Mr. Xiao ...... "Manager Hu greeted them one by one. On the other side, the workers have been evacuated.
"How's the guy?" General Manager Huang, who was full of alcohol, asked anxiously.
Manager Hu wiped his sweaty head with a handkerchief, and replied: "The hospital has already come, and it is determined that he died on the spot, I have sent someone to the hospital to get the death certificate, and now I am preparing to send it to the funeral home!" ”
"Who notified the police?" Vice President Xiao saw that a few policemen were still over there, and asked angrily.
Manager Hu looked at Ma Ziang, who had a solemn face, and said timidly: "A fellow of the deceased......"
Ma Ziang stopped and ordered: "Lao Xiao, you hurry up to the project department and call Director Long of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, tell me about the situation, and I will explain to him later......"
As soon as Vice President Xiao left, Mr. Huang also walked quickly to several policemen, whispered a few words to one of the leaders, and the police car that was still whistling the alarm just now turned off the police lights and drove out of the construction site.
Fu Shun stood in front of Brother Zhu's corpse. The funeral home was an unfamiliar name to him, and death was far away for him. The workers are brave warriors, and they have never been afraid when they touch the blue sky.
Brother Zhu's qiē is still so familiar. The beautiful hometown song, the rhyming smoothness, the laughing forehead lines, the stubble that pierces the hands, a big living person who is still alive in the morning, is lying there so quietly at this time, and, from head to toe, there is no good place...... Forty-five stories high, it flaunts a city while also burying a life.
Maybe the safety manager is right, Brother Zhu caused a big disaster because of his own negligence. Fushun used to work the same type as him, in terms of safety awareness, Lao Zhu is indeed not strong enough, not to mention the safety rope, that is, he sometimes is too lazy to wear a safety helmet, just because of this, he has been criticized many times. Every time he laughed and said that he was dying? "The king of Hades told you to die on the third watch, and he will never leave you until the fifth watch!"
But now, it's not even the third watch!
Fushun's tears couldn't stop flowing. He didn't stop Brother Li and Brother Wang, they were still confronting the staff - let them go, although this stopping may be futile. In this hot weather, maybe the place called "Funeral Home" can let Brother Zhu sleep well! They were all best comrades-in-arms, and several homeless people got together. Because of the same accent, it is bound from the end of the world to the cape. They are like a flock of geese that don't know how to return, and now, the leader goose has fallen, and the panicked geese can't find their way forward.
Fushun turned around. Trying to escape the heart-rending pain. Ma Ziang appeared in his hazy teary eyes, and the designer of the electronic building, the party secretary of the Guangsha branch of Huajian Third Bureau, was admiring his proud work.
Fu Shun moved his numb legs, walked up to Ma Ziang, and bowed deeply.
"Xiao Liu, why are you here?" Ma Ziang looked at the frustrated Fushun in surprise.
Fu Shun pointed to the white cloth over there and said, "My dearest eldest brother is gone, I'll send him off!" ”
Ma Ziang frowned and asked, "Big brother?" You say the deceased is your eldest brother? ”
"No, he is Liu Gong's fellow countryman, and they came from Haixi together......" Manager Hu explained on the side.
Ma Ziang stretched out his hand and patted Fushun's shoulder. Said: "Oh! Lecture on righteousness! Xiao Liu, it's almost too much, it's normal for something to happen on the construction site, and when the security check and the public security department investigate clearly, we will deal with it properly! You tell those fellows to go back to rest too, your dead fellow, we have to send them to the funeral home! ”
I don't know why, Fu Shun was extremely disgusted by the look on Ma Ziang's face and the language he said at this time. The passing of a life, he can be so indifferent. As the commander-in-chief of the project, I can't see the slightest care for the employees, but feel that we are "making trouble".
"So how do you handle it properly?" Fu Shun raised his head and looked at Secretary Ma, who was calm and composed.
Ma Zi frowned. He probably didn't expect that this little designer, who had always been obedient to him, would throw a question so coldly. However, he was still patient and answered Fushun's question concisely: "You should go to jail, you should lose money!" ”
"Can you go see him?" Fu Shun pointed to Brother Zhu's corpse almost pleadingly.
Chen Bo, the assistant of the "brother ......", pulled Fushun and gave him another look.
Fushun pretended not to see it and continued to beg: "Mr. Ma." He is also an employee of our company, whether it is his own fault or the mistake of project safety, he has left this world. Brother Zhu often said that being able to become a worker in Huajian Third Bureau is the most proud thing in his life! Mr. Ma, you're here, can you go and see him? Just at a glance! ”
Ma Ziang closed his eyes and held his chin with his right hand. Vice President Xiao hurriedly ran over to report the call, "Secretary Ma, Director Long has already said that the capping ceremony here will continue tomorrow, and there are no newspapers and TV stations involved in this matter for the time being......"
Ma Ziang opened his eyes and nodded, looked at Fushun again, and instructed Vice President Xiao: "Old Xiao, you go to see the deceased on behalf of the company, and then we will have a meeting in the project department......"
Ma Ziang turned around and left after speaking. Fu Shun's tears finally burst out of his eyes, and he looked at the indifferent back in disappointment.
"Let's go!" Vice President Xiao reluctantly accepted the order, and then angrily let Fushun lead the way.
Fu Shun walked in front and sneered, how sad he was! In the face of death, they are still high leaders, but in the countryside, at this time, it must be "the dead are great"!
The bright moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the stars hid behind the clouds. Suddenly there was a strong wind in the sweltering city, and the dust on the road was blown into the air, and the teeth and claws were fluttering in the light of the street lamps.
Brother Zhu was carried into a van and was about to be delivered to a place called a "funeral home". Fushun and the others were rejected outside the car door, and the only thing he begged was to let Brother Zhu go home! He doesn't know if Brother Zhu is far away from home now, or is he close to home?
The three of them stood there and watched as the workers turned on the hoses to wash away the blood stains. Lightning pierced the night sky, followed by a rumbling thunder...... I don't know if this lightning and thunder is seeing off Brother Zhu, or is it playing music for tomorrow's celebration?
The rain finally poured down. Workers continue to be busy with umbrellas and raincoats. The three piles of wood were finally woken up by the heavy rain, and they helped each other back to the dormitory.
Zhu Jianguo, male, from Wulong Township, Jiacang County, Jianan Prefecture, was born in October 1949. This is the information shown on Brother Zhu's ID card that they found......
It rained heavily overnight, and the topping out ceremony was held the next day as scheduled. The temporary workers were locked up in dormitory buildings, and the bustle had nothing to do with them.
Fushun also locked himself in the dormitory, he didn't go to work! It wasn't until the salute rang out at the construction site not far away that he stood up, knelt down in that direction, and kowtowed three times. "Tie Guan Li" and "Wang Luzi" also learned from Fushun and said their final goodbyes to Brother Zhu.
The other four people also had dead and cold faces. Maybe they have not been here for a long time, and they can't understand the friendship of brothers in life and death; But they also hope that there will be such a few brothers in life and death.
"You say, will they cremate Brother Zhu?" Brother Wang broke the silence.
"Tie Guan Li" sat on the edge of the bed, shook his head and said, "They won't do it without the permission of their families!" ”
"Family? Brother Zhu hasn't been back for so many years, and he hasn't usually seen him write letters, does he have any family members? Fushun asked.
"I've heard him say before that he married a mother-in-law and died! didn't leave any descendants, but I don't know if his father and mother are still there? Brother Li said.
"It must be there...... Brother Zhu was reluctant to spend a penny of his money, and all of it was sent back to his hometown, by the way, there is also his remittance bill here! Fu Shun took out a lot of remittance slips from Brother Zhu's cabinet.
At the end of the two-hour celebration, the door to the dormitory not far from the construction site was opened, and the temporary workers flocked to the construction site to say their final goodbyes......
For a few days, Fu Shun didn't have the heart to do anything, Ma Yunmei came to him, and he just postponed it euphemistically.
According to the news brought by Xiao Han, the report of the Safety Supervision Bureau is that the construction project of the electronic building meets the relevant requirements of safety regulations, and the investigation result of the public security department is that Zhu Jianguo made a mistake in construction operation and did not use safety equipment in accordance with the regulations, resulting in an accidental death. However, the branch also had a mistake of poor safety supervision, and the company had dealt with the parties internally, and the safety officer at that time was dismissed, and Hu Mingquan was given an administrative demerit. Out of humanitarian considerations, we are ready to compensate the family of the deceased with 30,000 yuan.
In terms of contacting the family, a telegram was sent back stating that the deceased had no wife or children, and that there was only one father in the family, who was nearly 80 years old. Taking into account the feelings of the elderly, the village did not inform the family of the news for the time being, demanding compensation and setting up a company to return the ashes of the deceased to their hometown.
When Fushun learned of these news, he hurriedly knocked on the door of Mr. Ma's office despite Chen Bo's obstruction...... (To be continued.) )
