Chapter 70 Major Accidents

Just when the entire Xinpi County was in full swing carrying out various constructions, there was a little discordant sound -- a particularly serious traffic accident occurred. The passenger car of a private passenger transport company was approved to carry 33 passengers, but as a result, more than 50 people were seated. Not long after the car departed, it tumbled into a deep ravine, killing nine people and injuring more than 30 others. The driver also died on the spot.

When the investigation was conducted, it was found that the driver's blood alcohol level was more than twice the standard for drunk driving - overloading and drunk driving were the direct causes of the accident.

In such a big accident, Zhang Han and Li Xiaoning did not delay for a moment, and quickly arrived at the scene of the accident to direct the rescue of the injured. When the preliminary cause of the accident was found out and reported to Li Xiaoning, Li Xiaoning became angry: "Where the fuck is this accident?" It's murder! ā€

Since Zhang Han took office, he has basically not blushed with Li Xiaoning, but this time he was also annoyed, and slapped the table and yelled at Li Xiaoning: "How did you become a county magistrate?" Now that the whole country and the whole province are focusing on safety, why did this happen? Last time at the meeting, didn't you specifically say that you would set up safety checkpoints throughout the county to check for drunk driving and overloading? The words are still in my ears, and there was such a big accident? ā€

To tell the truth, Li Xiaoning, as the county magistrate, is responsible for the general direction, and it is impossible to grasp the work so carefully. But he also knew that Zhang Han was uncomfortable. In fact, he didn't feel good about such a tragic accident. As the leader of the government, he has an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, he didn't argue, just silently took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han impatiently pushed Li Xiaoning's hand away, "You don't come with me like this." Check it out right away. This accident must be investigated to the end, and no matter who it is, it must be held accountable. Otherwise, I'm sorry for so many dead lives, and I'm sorry for so many broken families. ā€

Although Zhang Han's words were very harsh, when he said this, he had actually calmed down, and it also showed that it was not Li Xiaoning's problem. Li Xiaoning immediately said: "I immediately organized a county magistrate's office meeting and set up an accident investigation team, which I personally led to investigate to the end." ā€

Without waiting for Li Xiaoning to leave, Zhang Han continued: "Zhou Dazhuang, the director of the Public Security Bureau, may not be able to escape the blame, right?" He is responsible for this, how did he do it? ā€

Li Xiaoning said in a deep voice: "He is the head of the public security department, and there was a traffic accident, so naturally he couldn't run away." But it's not just him, there are also the head of the Canal Town Police Station, the captain of the county traffic police brigade, the director of the traffic bureau, and the staff of the checkpoint. They're all inextricably linked. ā€

Li Xiaoning was originally a very efficient person, but now that such a big thing has happened, he will not delay for a moment. The investigation team immediately went to the city and launched the investigation work in full swing. Li Xiaoning is the team leader, while Zhou Dazhuang is the deputy team leader. Because Zhou Dazhuang is the director of the Public Security Bureau, according to the practice of dealing with such accidents, the director of the Public Security Bureau must be a member of the investigation team.

In fact, not long ago, the state also organized a special activity of "special management of large trucks". Xinpi County also responded to the call of the state to set up a "special checkpoint for drunk driving and overloading" throughout the county, and determined that the public security bureau was responsible for this matter. Director Zhou Dazhuang immediately held a meeting to prepare for the summer heat, and built stations in various towns and villages in the county at the same time. Canal Town is the seat of the county government, and the town has set up checkpoints at the exits of major traffic arteries, and two traffic police officers are assigned to each station to be responsible for daily work. The checkpoint where the accident vehicle passed was the most important one, that is, the No. 1 station, because that road was the main road out of Xinpi County.

In fact, this matter is not difficult to investigate, and it was soon found out that on the day of the accident, the two traffic policemen at Station No. 1 fell asleep with their heads covered in the station because they had played mahjong all night before, and vehicles came and went freely, completely losing the role of inspection. Judging from the inspection records, the inspection situation this morning is blank. In other words, if the inspectors can check for overloading and drunk driving, they can stop the accident from happening.

The establishment of checkpoints throughout the county was Li Xiaoning's idea, which was set up directly against overloading and drunk driving. The responsibilities of the staff are very clear. Li Xiaoning thinks that it is not difficult to put an end to this kind of safety accidents, and it is good to set up checkpoints, and the exits of all traffic arteries except for urban traffic in the county must be checked, and this regulation is very strong. However, there are such strict people who are negligent in their duties, sleeping in the station during working hours, causing drunk and driving overloaded vehicles to pass freely, which leads to the occurrence of tragedy.

Li Xiaoning walked into Zhang Han's office again with thick investigation materials. The cause of the accident has been ascertained, and the person responsible for the accident has also been found, and the question of accountability is now up. At this juncture, if there is such a big accident, he and Zhang Han will definitely be punished, and this will not matter, and the main responsible person must be dealt with strictly.

Zhang Han's opinion is the same as Li Xiaoning's, this matter must be handled strictly. The two did not have a standing committee, so they discussed it directly, and the handling opinions were issued.

1. The owner of the private passenger transport company that caused the accident and two staff members of the checkpoint were criminally detained and transferred to the judicial authorities for prosecution;

2. The director of the Canal Town Police Station and the captain of the county traffic police brigade were given the punishment of dismissal;

3. The director of the county transportation bureau shall be punished with a major demerit recorded in the party, and the deputy director in charge of passenger transport shall be suspended for inspection;

4. The passenger transport company that caused the accident was fined 500,000 yuan.

As soon as the handling opinions were announced, they caused huge repercussions in the county. Because if the previous standards for dealing with such accidents were followed, there was no doubt that the owner of the private passenger transport company that caused the accident and the two staff members of the checkpoint were criminally detained, but this time the head of the Canal Town Police Station, the head of the county traffic police brigade, and the leaders of the traffic bureau were held responsible.

Zhang Han and Li Xiaoning are showing an attitude to the people and all leading cadres in the county, and we are not afraid to expose our scars. Safety is more important than Mount Tai, and any accident must be implemented to people, and someone must be responsible. It is no longer possible to calm down the dead and wounded, as was the case before.

The director of the Canal Town Police Station, who also holds the post of deputy director of the county public security bureau, is also a powerful figure in the entire Xinpi County, and now he has been directly dismissed, and the repercussions are very strong. Although Zhou Dazhuang is not very smart, he is not stupid, and he knows that it may be his turn next. Immediately wrote a review to the county party committee and county government, hoping to have a good attitude to win the understanding and forgiveness of the leaders and the people.

Li Xiaoning has actually not been very satisfied with Zhou Dazhuang, this chubby public security chief, obviously did not focus on work, he has long had the intention of replacing Zhou Dazhuang. It's just that Zhou Dazhuang's personnel relationship is in the Pingchuan City Public Security Bureau, not under the control of the county; Second, there has been no suitable replacement. I haven't touched this piece of tofu.

However, this accident gave Li Xiaoning the idea that he had to replace the director of the straw bag -- the public security system in Xinpi County was already a mess under the leadership of Zhou Dazhuang, and there was no discipline at all, and if he continued to let it go, something even bigger would happen. As the saying goes, if there is a soldier, there will be a nest of bears, and Zhou Dazhuang will have to be replaced.

However, Zhou Dazhuang is a person from the public security system, and he and Zhang Han do not have the right to directly dispose of it, and the main personnel of the investigation team are all from the public security system, so it is difficult for them to investigate the work of Director Zhou Dazhuang, so there is no provision for Zhou Dazhuang in the previously announced handling opinions.

However, this does not indicate that Li Xiaoning wants to let Zhou Dazhuang go. On the contrary, he wanted to knock Zhou Dazhuang out directly with a stick.

On the surface, the investigation of the accident has been stopped, but the investigators arranged by Li Xiaoning and led by Hou Xiucai himself are still going on. Hou Xiu has a way, and he has a relationship with him in Guoan, not to mention a few private detectives. Soon, the results of their investigation also came out: after the establishment of the county's "special checkpoint for drunk driving and overloading", Zhou Dazhuang only went to Li Xiaoning once, and never asked about the operation of the checkpoint.

To make matters worse, 80 percent of the inspectors employed at all security checkpoints in the county were temporarily recruited contract police officers, as was the case with both inspectors at the checkpoint where the accident occurred.

Contract police exist in almost every city, mainly because of the lack of police force. However, the vast majority of these temporary recruits are idle people in society, and there are generally problems such as poor and rough law enforcement, and there is also room for corruption in them. Therefore, after Li Xiaoning officially became the county magistrate, he had already ordered Zhou Dazhuang to cancel the contract police system and prohibit the use of it.

Zhou Dazhuang knew Li Xiaoning's temper and style of acting, why did he dare to disobey Li Xiaoning? He's notoriously timid! In fact, as long as you think about it a little, you can understand what is going on - there are huge interests in this, and the interests are big enough for Zhou Dazhuang not to carry out Li Xiaoning's work deployment.

When Hou Xiucai put the investigation report on Li Xiaoning's desk, Li Xiaoning read it and asked Hou Xiucai to suspend the investigation. He knew that if he continued to investigate, he would definitely be able to find out Zhou Dazhuang's corruption, but he had sent too many people to prison over the years, and he didn't want to be hindered from helping the Commission for Discipline Inspection anymore. The evidence in front of him is enough for Zhou Dazhuang to get down from his current position.

After all, Zhou Dazhuang is the director of the county public security bureau, and Li Xiaoning has no right to deal with it. So he and Zhang Han met together and held a standing committee. The meeting held that Zhou Dazhuang took advantage of his position to arrange for many people to join the public security contingent, which was one of the important reasons for this serious accident. In view of the fact that Comrade Zhou Dazhuang, director of the Public Security Bureau, made a mistake, Jian YƬ automatically resigned from the post of director of the bureau, and Comrade He Zhongguo, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, temporarily assumed the post of director of the bureau.
