Chapter 263: The Bridge in the Heart of the Lake Collapses
After lunch, Liu Renjie arranged for someone to send Hou Yong's wife and son away, and personally accompanied two investigators from the Shenzhen City Public Security Bureau into the interrogation room.
At this time, Hou Yong looked much calmer, he sat on the iron chair, saw Liu Renjie enter the door, Hou Yong smiled at Liu Renjie gratefully, and then turned his head to the police officer in charge of interrogation and said: "Don't waste time, you ask, I will tell you everything I know." ”
The ensuing interrogation went unusually smoothly, Hou Yong confessed all his crimes clearly, and by the time the interrogation was over, it was already about nine o'clock in the evening. Hou Yong let out a long breath, it seemed that the boulder in his heart had been unloaded, after so many years, he felt that he had never been so relaxed as today.
Liu Renjie turned around and whispered something to the investigator next to him, and the investigator got up and went out. Liu Renjie asked the guards to take Hou Yong to the spare office.
"Hou Yong, I'm going back to Shangze City tomorrow, do you need my help with anything?" Liu Renjie asked.
"No, Director Liu, if I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have fallen into this step, alas! This is fate, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and I deserve it the most. Hou Yong's eyes turned red, and he said with a sigh.
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open, and the investigator walked in with a few stir-fried vegetables and a plate of steamed buns, and put them in front of Liu Renjie and Hou Yong.
"Let's have a bite to eat together, I didn't expect it to be so busy." Liu Renjie pointed to steamed buns and vegetables and said to Hou Yong.
Because he had no worries, Hou Yong really felt hungry, so he reached out and picked up the steamed buns, picked up the chopsticks, and ate them in a big gulp.
When Liu Renjie and the investigators finished sorting out the interrogation records and returned to the Shenzhen City Public Security Bureau, the leaders of the gun case task force were still waiting for Liu Renjie.
"Bureau Liu! That's right, I didn't expect such a difficult bone to gnaw, you only took two days to take it, admire. The director of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau said.
Other leaders also praised Liu Renjie.
At this time, Liu Renjie knew that it was not appropriate to say anything, so he had to smile humbly and said: "Director, leaders, this matter is over, I will go back to Shangze City tomorrow, and there is still a big mess at home." ”
"Bureau Liu, it's rare for you to come to Shenzhen, I'll arrange someone to take you for a few days, right?" The director said.
"Forget it, let's bother again when we have a chance." Liu Renjie dismissed the director's kindness and said goodbye to everyone and returned to the hotel.
After a simple wash, Liu Renjie lay on the bed tiredly, as the saying goes, "the heart is more tired than the body" This is true, Liu Renjie's scheming in the past two days is many times more than usual, Hou Yong's matter is done, his mood is relaxed, and he feels unusually tired.
Just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, the mobile phone placed at the bedside rang, Liu Renjie touched the mobile phone, saw the caller number, and immediately sat up, "Secretary Jiang, I'm Liu Renjie." ”
"Renjie, is the matter of the Shenzhen Market finished?" Jiang Tao asked.
"Secretary Jiang, I'm so busy that I haven't reported to you yet, Hou Yongquan is all over this afternoon, and I have nothing to do here. I'll take the plane back tomorrow morning. Liu Renjie slapped his head fiercely, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for forgetting to report to Jiang Tao.
"Well, that's good, you hurry up and come back, there was an accident at the opening ceremony of the Peony Festival this afternoon, a bridge in the water park collapsed, and the audience on the bridge died five and injured eighteen, including three seriously injured, the situation is not optimistic." Jiang Tao said heavily on the phone.
"What? It's so serious! Secretary Jiang, has the cause of the accident been clarified? Liu Renjie was taken aback and asked.
"The specific cause is still being investigated, and the preliminary estimate is that there is a problem with the quality of the bridge, and everything will be said after the relevant experts make appraisal conclusions." Jiang Tao said.
"Secretary Jiang, who in the Public Security Bureau is in charge at the scene? I asked about the situation. "Liu Renjie is very angry now, such a big thing happened in Shangze City, why no one in the bureau reported to him.
"It's political commissar Zhou Jishan who is in charge, okay, you can rest first, and some things will be discussed when you come back tomorrow." Jiang Tao hung up the phone after speaking.
The more Liu Renjie thought about it, the more angry he became, this Zhou Jishan was too disagreeable, he was worthy of him, he came to Shangze City for less than a year, and recommended him to be a political commissar, this time there was such a big safety accident, why didn't he report it to himself? Could there be some moths in there?
At this time, Liu Renjie was already sleepy, he touched his mobile phone and wanted to call the number of political commissar Zhou Jishan.
"Political Commissar Zhou, I'm Liu Renjie!" Liu Renjie said in an unkind tone.
Zhou Jishan, who was maintaining order in the water park, didn't expect Liu Renjie to take the initiative to call back, and couldn't help but look at the executive vice mayor Song Hebin standing beside him.
Song Hebin was also sweating profusely at this time, he was in charge of the safety and security work of the Peony Festival, and he was shocked and scared when there was such a big accident. Hearing Zhou Jishan's mobile phone ringing, and seeing him looking at himself, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Whose phone is it?" ”
"It was Director Liu who called from Shenzhen." Zhou Jishan covered his mobile phone with his hand and said softly.
"Oh! It seems that Liu Renjie already knows, you can take it. Song Hebin glanced at Zhou Jishan and said.
Zhou Jishan hurriedly took his hand away and said into the microphone of his mobile phone: "Bureau Liu! I was just about to report to you, there was a safety accident at the opening ceremony of the Peony Festival, and there were heavy casualties, but the scene was too chaotic, I led people to maintain order, and I have not been idle, and Mayor Song is also in command. ”
Hearing that Song Hebin was also at the scene, Liu Renjie seemed to understand something, it must be that Song Hebin didn't let Zhou Jishan report to himself, there must be something greasy in this.
It cannot but be said that Liu Renjie's political sensitivity is indeed very high, and he really sees the problem very thoroughly.
It turned out that this afternoon, Shangze City held the opening ceremony of the first Peony Festival at the gate of the 10,000-mu peony garden. Due to the good publicity work of the Shangze City Government in advance, tourists and local people from all over the country came to hear the news, and as many as 100,000 people came to the scene, and the scene was crowded.
Originally, this work was personally handled by Mayor Liu Wanmin, but Jiang Tao had an accident in Shenzhen, and Liu Wanmin wanted to rush to Shenzhen to lead a team to participate in the expo, so he arranged this work to Executive Vice Mayor Song Hebin.
Song Hebin was originally suspicious of Liu Wanmin, so he didn't pay much attention to this work, but just held a hasty meeting and simply arranged the problems to be paid attention to at the opening ceremony. At the meeting, someone once raised the safety issue of the opening ceremony, but it did not attract enough attention from Song Hebin, he thought that a poor prefecture-level city to hold a small peony festival, not many people will come to see, and the venue is so big, there should be no problem.
After Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin returned to Shangze City, they once approached Song Hebin specifically about the safety of the opening ceremony.
Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin were also careless, believing that Song Hebin was an old comrade, and there should be no mistakes in their work, so they did not carry out further inspections and implement safety and security work.
But no one expected that there would be so many spectators and tourists at the opening ceremony this afternoon, seeing that the huge venue could not be splashed at this time, and the crowds were crowded, Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly asked Song Hebin to implement the safety and security work again, and do a good job in the evacuation of the masses in the crowded area.
But the accident still happened, due to the imperfect evacuation plan of the audience, after the opening ceremony, the audience inside the venue went out, and the outside went inside, and the results all converged on the lake bridge in the water park.
The bridge deck of the Huxin Bridge in the water park is more than two meters wide, and it is more than one meter away from the water surface. Maybe it was not considered that there would be so many people on the bridge together, the bridge in the middle of the lake can no longer bear the huge weight of the crowd, the bridge body made a painful creak, began to shake left and right, just when people panicked, a section of more than ten meters of the bridge collapsed, sank into the water, the audience on the bridge fell into the water, fortunately, the water in the lake is not very deep, people after falling into the water began to walk or swim to the shore, but there are still more than 20 people who were injured by falling rocks or choked by the lake, five died at the beginning, and the scene was suddenly in chaos.
Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin heard the exclamation from the Huxin Bridge in the distance, and they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, something happened!
Liu Wanmin hurriedly ordered Zhou Jishan, the political commissar of the Public Security Bureau who was standing beside him, and said: "Political Commissar Zhou, you immediately arrange for the police to come over, the more the better!" Be quick! ”
"Yes! I called immediately. Zhou Jishan took out his mobile phone, and hurriedly ordered the command center to immediately let the police officers at home rush to the gate of the peony garden.
Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin wanted to take a look at the Huxin Bridge, but in the face of the crowded and chaotic dense crowd, they were at a loss and couldn't move.
Jiang Tao dialed Song Hebin's mobile phone, but no one answered, maybe he couldn't hear it at the scene.
At this time, Liu Wanmin had already arranged for the city's large hospitals, immediately made preparations to receive the wounded, and sent additional ambulances and medical personnel to the scene.
At this time, the additional manpower sent by the Municipal Public Security Bureau arrived, and Jiang Tao ordered loudly: "Your comrades from the Public Security Bureau immediately evacuate the surrounding masses and relieve the pressure on the Huxin Bridge!" ”
Jiang Tao asked a few strong policemen to push away the crowd in front, and he, Liu Wanmin, and Zhou Jishan followed behind, squeezing in the direction of Huxin Bridge with difficulty.
At this time, at the scene of the collapse of the Huxin Bridge, many people jumped into the water to rescue the wounded, and carried the young children to the shore.
Jiang Tao and the others finally squeezed to the edge of the water park, and when they saw the tragic scene in front of them, Jiang Tao couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and his heart was clenched.
"Liu Wanmin, Zhou Jishan! You immediately led people to evacuate and persuade the crowd at the scene, so that they could leave the scene quickly, so as not to delay the rescue of the wounded. Jiang Tao red-eyed and ordered loudly.
Liu Wanmin and Zhou Jishan immediately led people to start shouting loudly and evacuated the crowd.
Some people in the masses recognized Jiang Tao and others, and when they saw the secretary of the municipal party committee coming, they were very cooperative and slowly moved outward, Jiang Tao's prestige among the masses was still quite high, after all, after his arrival, the changes in Shangze City were obvious to all.
"What about Song Hebin? Let him come to me at once! Jiang Tao called Song Hebin's mobile phone several times, but no one answered, Jiang Tao was on fire! Asked out loud.
