Chapter 267: A Difficult Choice
After Jia Weimin came out of Vice Governor Zheng Zhen's room, he went downstairs and got into a car parked in the hotel parking lot.
It seems that it is time to give Song Hebin a call. Jia Weimin took out his mobile phone from his pocket, bit the hard mobile phone shell with his teeth, and wondered in his heart how to tell Song Hebin.
The relationship between Jia Weimin and Governor Zhao Qingwei, Song Hebin does not know, this is also Jia Weimin's cleverness, the reason why he is not as publicized as others is because he knows very well in his heart that sometimes the relationship can be successful, but it can also be bad; Sometimes it's a life-saving straw, but sometimes it's also a hanging string. As a result, Jia Weimin kept a low profile, and even most of his company's employees did not know that he was the brother-in-law of the governor of Qilu Province.
At this time, Song Hebin was sitting in his office in the government building, lying on his desk, busy writing a written report on the water park accident.
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the desktop vibrate, Song Hebin hurriedly picked up the phone, saw that it was his friend Jia Weimin's phone, and hurriedly pressed the answer button.
"Wei Min, how is the thing I asked you to do? You must hurry, tomorrow will be the accident identification. Song Hebin's tone was a little anxious.
"Hehe, Mayor Song, don't worry, I just came out of Vice Governor Zheng Zhen's room, and he will come forward to speak when the time comes. You'd better do some work on the expert group's side, I'll go directly to them, I'm afraid it will backfire, and if those old pedantic people are disgusted, it will be a bad thing. Jia Weimin smiled on the phone, and his tone was quite calm.
What the? How can this guy have a connection with Vice Governor Zheng Zhen? Haven't you heard him talk about it before? Song Hebin knew very well in his heart that Jia Weimin should not be talking nonsense, at such a critical moment, telling nonsense would cost people's lives.
Song Hebin heard that Jia Weimin had already dealt with Zheng Yiyi, and he also had a little bottom in his heart, the conclusion of this accident depends on the appraisal conclusion of the expert group tomorrow, and it seems that he should also give instructions to Jishan next week.
The next morning, after breakfast, Vice Governor Zheng still gathered the members of the investigation team for a short meeting.
"Comrades! You will go to the scene of the accident in a while, you must be in line with the mentality of serving the economy of Shangze City and even the economy of the whole province to see the cause of the accident, the bridge project of the water park has been accepted by the relevant departments, but why did it collapse? Is it that too many tourists exceed the due weight of the bridge deck, which leads to the misfortune? It is necessary to analyze the reasons carefully. Now is the critical moment for the development of Shangze City, Secretary Chu of the Provincial Party Committee, Governor Zhao is very concerned about the development of Shangze City, and does not want to destroy the atmosphere of this development. Well, I hope that after the comrades arrive at the scene, they will come to a scientific conclusion based on facts. The meaning of Zheng Yi's words was understood by the experts of the investigation team, but these people had different thoughts in their hearts, and they didn't show it on their faces. A few people are also weighing in their hearts: This appraisal conclusion is to be signed and responsible, and you can't take such a big risk just because Zheng is still a few simple words, right?
Seeing the indifferent expressions on the faces of the experts and professors, Zheng still had a headache, he knew very well in his heart that these old masters were all some tough seeds, if these old masters insisted that it was a problem with the quality of construction, things would become very passive, but how to resolve it? I wish some of them could understand the original flavor.
At this time, the water park in Shangzawa City has been put under martial law by a large number of police, especially the Huxin Bridge, which is even more forbidden for idlers to enter and exit. Zhou Jishan, political commissar of the Public Security Bureau, accompanied the experts and professors of the provincial investigation team into the collapsed bridge deck.
The experts asked Zhou Jishan to transfer a yacht, and at the broken bridge, he climbed up and down to start careful and meticulous sampling, analysis, and investigation.
Zhou Jishan remembered Song Hebin's words, deliberately walked in front of a policeman in charge of vigilance, and started a routine with him, seeing that the political commissar was so close to the people, the policeman was very excited, and quickly followed Zhou Jishan's words and opened the conversation.
"Political commissar, I was at the head of the bridge on the day it collapsed, there were too many people at that time, and no matter how strong the bridge is, I am afraid it will not be able to stand so many people." The police said.
"Well, our Secretary Jiang and Mayor Liu are so strict with their work, it shouldn't be a problem with the quality of construction, otherwise the economic development of our Shangze City will come to a halt again, and this day has just improved a little." Zhou Jishan deliberately said loudly, for fear that these experts would not be able to hear. Don't say it, there is really an expert who deliberately looked up at them after listening to Zhou Jishan's conversation.
When Liu Renjie, director of the Shangze City Public Security Bureau, arrived at the scene of the accident, the experts' appraisal was nearing completion, and they were gathering together to discuss something in a low voice.
Liu Renjie walked to Zhou Jishan's side and asked in a low voice, "Jishan, what's the situation?" ”
"Bureau Liu, I don't know, these old guys have been busy for most of the day, and I haven't heard anyone say anything." Zhou Jishan said helplessly.
At this time, an older professor came to Liu Renjie and Zhou Jishan and said, "Comrade Public Security, can you please send someone to help us send these samples back to the hotel?" This is too old to move. ”
"I'll do it! I'm going to accompany you back to the hotel anyway. Liu Renjie reached out and picked up the nylon bag filled with cement and steel bars on the ground, turned his head and said to the expert.
Seeing Liu Renjie struggling to carry the nylon bag, Zhou Jishan hurriedly went up to help Liu Renjie carry the nylon bag to the minibus on the shore.
At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Tao, Liu Wanmin, and others received a telephone call from Vice Governor Zheng Yi, telling them to immediately rush to the small conference room of the Shangze Hotel for a meeting.
Jiang Tao and others came to the door of the Shangze Hotel, Jiang Tao noticed that there were already a lot of reporters at the door of the hotel, and they were trying to enter the hotel for interviews at this time, but they were all stopped by the vigilant police.
When he came to the small conference room, Jiang Tao saw that there were not many people sitting inside, only Vice Governor Zheng Yi and four experts and professors.
Zheng still saw Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin present, and motioned to the police standing at the door to close the door of the conference room. Zheng still raised his eyes and looked at everyone, and said: "Comrade Jiang Tao and Comrade Liu Wanmin, let's listen to the opinions of the experts, and after the resolution is formed, it will be reported to the provincial party committee immediately, and then a press conference will be held to announce it to the public." ”
"Okay, Governor Zheng, this time I have worked hard for the experts, in order to avoid suspicion, Mayor Liu and I did not come to the hotel to invite the experts to have a light meal, and when the matter is over, we will definitely make up for this host." Jiang Tao stood up and bowed to the experts and said.
"I'll talk about it first!" An expert from the Provincial Institute of Construction Engineering said, "Through the analysis of the collapse site, I think this is a safety accident caused by substandard and unqualified construction quality, and the main reason for the collapse is that the steel bar used to pour the bridge deck is too fine and the bearing capacity is insufficient." ”
"Let me tell you what I think." A professor from the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau said, "This accident should be a compound accident, the bridge deck with thin steel bars, is only one of the reasons for the accident, and another reason is that the pressure on the bridge deck is too great, the bridge deck was overcrowded, and there are spectators continue to squeeze on the bridge, the pressure on the bridge deck has exceeded the scope of the design, which led to the collapse of the bridge deck, I think, poor organization is the main reason for the accident." ”
The other two experts also expressed their views and opinions, and the opinions of the four experts were divided into two completely different views, one view that the bridge deck collapse accident was caused by serious construction quality problems, and the large number of people on the bridge was only one of the reasons for the accident, and the fundamental reason was to cut corners and fail to meet the quality; Another point of view is that although the steel bars in the bridge deck are too fine, the construction quality is still qualified, the number of people on the day of the accident, and the large pressure on the bridge deck is the main reason for the collapse, and the accident should be a man-made accident caused by improper measures to organize the event.
In the process of heated discussion among the experts, Zheng Yiyi, Jiang Tao, and Liu Wanmin did not speak, and they each considered the opinions of the experts in their hearts and thought about what kind of attitude they should express.
However, Jiang Tao verified a fact from the words of experts, that is, the construction company that undertook the construction of the water park cut corners, thus burying the hidden danger of the accident. Supposedly, the construction company should be held legally responsible, but why are there two experts who are trying to exonerate the company?
Zheng still coughed softly, signaling that he had something to say, and the small conference room suddenly fell silent, and Zheng still said, "Comrades! Now, I would like to ask you experts to take a break here, Comrade Jiang Tao and Comrade Liu Wanmin, and we will go to another room for a small meeting. After speaking, Zheng still took the lead and walked out of the small conference room.
Jiang Tao and Liu Wanmin followed Zheng Yi into a room outside the two sides, Zheng Yi stretched out his finger and pointed to the sofa and said, "You can sit casually, Comrade Jiang Tao, what do you think of the experts' opinions?" ”
"Governor Zheng, I feel that what they say has its own truth, but I personally think that if it is so easily characterized as an accidental accident, it will be too irresponsible for those who died, and too merciful for the contractor." Jiang Tao thought about it, but still said what was in his heart.
"Oh? Do you mean that the accident was caused by a construction quality problem? Vice Governor Zheng Zhen's face gradually became grim and ugly, and his tone of voice also increased.
"Yes! Governor Zheng! Jiang Tao said bluntly.
"Mayor Liu, what do you think?" Zheng still turned his head and asked Liu Wanmin.
In fact, Liu Wanmin's heart is not to grasp the quality of the problem, although this water park project is not his own master, but more or less related to himself, if there is a quality problem, he must also have a certain leadership responsibility. Seeing Zheng still asking himself at this time, Liu Wanmin couldn't help but look at Jiang Tao, and opened his mouth hesitantly.
"Governor Zheng, Secretary Jiang, I think it should be better to characterize it as an occasional safety accident, so that the attention of the masses can be diverted from this focus as soon as possible, which is conducive to the development of the next step of our city's work." After Liu Wanmin finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Jiang Tao, this was the first time he had disagreed with Jiang Tao.
Zheng still listened to Liu Wanmin's words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't expect that the two people who seemed to be very united also had different opinions.
After listening to Liu Wanmin's words, Jiang Tao couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart: Could it be that my idea is wrong? However, if the accident is concluded according to this conclusion, will it be irresponsible to the masses of the people?
How do you choose? Jiang Tao looked at Zheng Yi and Liu Wanmin, and hesitated in his heart.
