It was nearly seven o'clock in the evening, Jiao Laohan and Yufeng stepped on the return train.

Li Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and left the train station with Hou Zhengkun, preparing to return home.

Because of the search for the miners' relatives, a total of 37 people came from Laolongshan Township, Jinjia County, Qingfeng Province, and Li Xiaohe was responsible for arranging food and accommodation.

Although they are assisted by Lu Sheng and Mu Yumin, they can only do some specific affairs, and Li Xiaohe has to worry about the management of the entire people. He is not worried about whether they are used to eating and lodging, the county has arranged it so carefully, they should definitely be able to adapt, he is worried about safety.

Despite the arrangements for the police to keep an eye on the accommodation of the families, it is unlikely that the police will be there 24 hours a day, and there should be no one specifically targeting them. Li Xiaohe's biggest concern for safety risks is the emotional problems of these people and a series of reactions caused by emotions.

On the day the four miners appeared, there was also a confrontation between family members stopping the car, which made Li Xiaohe feel even more uneasy about people's emotional problems.

Well, now twenty-two people have left, and only fifteen remain. The size of the crowd is smaller, and there is no stimulation problem of another group of people, so it is relatively easier to manage.

The accommodation complex was already in front of me, and when the car was about to turn a corner, the mobile phone rang.

Glancing at the caller number, Li Xiaohe motioned to Hou Zhengkun to slow down, and then connected the phone.

A male voice immediately came from the mobile phone: "Director Li, are they all gone?" ”

Li Xiaohe said a vague "ah": "Gone, just left." Is there anything wrong? ”

"Director Li, I want to see you now." The other party directly stated the intention of the call.

After glancing at Hou Zhengkun, Li Xiaohe asked tentatively: "I'm not in the unit now, can I say it's okay on the phone?" ”

"It's inconvenient on the phone, I'm at the door of the county party committee now." The other party's voice stopped abruptly at this point.

Putting away his mobile phone, Li Xiaohe turned his head and said, "You Junliang called, he wanted to see me, I don't know what is going on." ”

Hou Zhengkun had actually heard the content of the call just now, and said, "It should be a matter of finding someone", so he drove the car to the left.

After walking for about ten minutes, the Siyuan County Party and Government Compound was close in front of him, and a thin man was standing outside the gate, looking at the passing vehicles.

The car stopped, the door opened from the inside, and a voice came out: "You Junliang, get in the car." ”

The thin man was You Junliang, who heard Director Li's voice, hurriedly walked to the front of the car and sat down.

"Didi", two whistles sounded.

The doorman Lao Yang ran out of the house and opened the courtyard door when he heard the sound.

The off-road vehicle rushed into the yard and drove directly to the backyard.

The car stopped in the parking space in front of the county party committee building, and the three jumped out of the car, entered the building, went upstairs, and entered Li Xiaohe's office.

During this period of time, the three of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was inevitably dull.

After entering the house, Li Xiaohe picked up a bottle of mineral water and handed it over: "Drink water." ”

You Junliang didn't speak, took the mineral water, unscrewed it, filled half a bottle with "Gu Dong Gu Dong", and put down the bottle.

"What's the matter with you? Sit down and say. Li Xiaohe said and sat on the sofa.

You Junliang turned around and looked, sat on the sofa between Li and Hou, and asked a question: "Director Li, Meng Ayang and the four of them are not working overtime, right?" ”

"How?" Li Xiaohe asked rhetorically.

"Because of the overtime work in the mine, the government gave free medical examinations, which I have never heard of and does not conform to common sense. I analyzed that they were either not in the mine or that there was something else that could not be said, and I felt something was wrong at the time, but I didn't point it out. Rao is like that, people have also made irrational moves, and if I point it out directly, something may not happen. You Junliang gave the answer.

What is fake is fake, and the situation was also critical at that time, not only in order to keep it secret for Meng Ayang and the four people, but also to be able to hide the family members who did not find their relatives, so they temporarily came up with such a statement. In hindsight, it was also full of loopholes, and Li Xiaohe was also worried that some people would ask about it. But it turned out that You Junliang saw it at the time, but he didn't break it, and he stopped people's out-of-the-ordinary practices. This You Junliang really has a sense of the overall situation and is rational enough.

Now that the other party has made it clear, there is no need to deny it. So Li Xiaohe asked again: "Then what do you think is the situation?" ”

"Now that the four of them have shown up, but our people are missing, and you don't let those four people contact their families, there must be something wrong with this. The biggest possibility is that they already know the news of my second brother, but it is obviously very bad, so you are hiding it from us and preventing the four of them from contacting the outside world. What happened to my second brother and the others? You Junliang stared at the other party tightly.

Li Xiaohe waved his hand: "You Junliang, don't be cranky, they don't know the news of your second brother, and the police are still looking for your second brother." ”

You Junliang sighed: "Director Li, Director Hou, from the moment I received the news, I was mentally prepared to face all the reality. However, other people may not think like this, and everyone has different psychological tolerances, they may be able to accept the reality of their loved ones' situation, but they will not tolerate being deceived, and even turn their relatives' unfortunate pain to be deceived and vent.

Especially since the four people came back, the mood of the dozen or so of us has become worse and more unstable. Not only do they often cry and cry, but they also complain that God is unfair, and if they know that they have been deceived, they are bound to explode. In fact, my mood has not been calm in the past two days, but I am waiting for you to report the news, and I am trying to suppress my emotions so as not to affect others, and I am also worried that these dozen or so people will attack those family members. Now those twenty-two people have gone home happily, and your news has not yet arrived, but I can't talk to these dozen people about my doubts, so I have come to ask you alone. ”

Glancing at Hou Zhengkun, and receiving the other party's nod, Li Xiaohe said slowly: "You Junliang, those four people did not work overtime, but went to the city for vacation, and there are also their fake notes in the mine. On the day they returned, they were only a few hours behind their normal time off. It's just that not long after they arrived in the city, the only mobile phone was lost, and the family couldn't contact them.

Up to now, in the mining area that has been searched, no news of your relatives has been found, and there is no relevant filing information at the police station. By the way, the identity information of Meng Ayang's four people is recorded in the jurisdiction. At present, the police have expanded the scope of the search, in addition to the mining area, the selection site is also our search target. In addition to looking for your second brother and the others, the police are also looking for Qu Forrest and Yao Erwang, and if they find any of them, it will also be helpful for further searches. I'm telling the truth. ”

After a pause, You Junliang questioned again: "How could the police station not have a record?" They have also been here for more than half a month. Even if you don't have a record, you can find it by looking up the relevant ride information, right? ”

Hou Zhengkun took over: "There is a delay in the mine owner's declaration of new miner information, and it is generally declared when the miner is stable, and it is the norm to not declare it for two weeks." When inquiring about the relevant ride information, I found the information that You Junshan and the three people took the train, which was to take the train first and then reverse the car, but when I looked for the video of the departure of the bus station that day, I didn't see the three people, and I don't know if I got off the train halfway. ”

"Director, my second brother must have arrived in Siyuan County, on March 13, I received a call from him, and he clearly said that he had arrived in Siyuan County, to the 'Xiaojingou' mine." You Junliang said hurriedly, "My second brother is such an adult, it is impossible to figure it out, let alone lie, they must have arrived in Siyuan County." ”

"The bus tickets they bought were indeed to Siyuan County, and we didn't say that they were definitely not in Siyuan County, and it was because of this that we spared no effort to find them." In fact, Hou Zhengkun didn't tell the truth. The police continue to look for people, although there are these factors, but the main thing is that they have found many suspicious points, otherwise they would have made it clear to their families that "there is no such person".

Lowering his head, "Huhu" gasped for a few breaths, You Junliang raised his head suddenly: "Director, director, I want to go with you to find someone, and go to find it in person." ”

"You're looking for someone with us? This will not help but increase the burden on the police. So many police officers are specialized in this, do they still want ordinary people to help? Hou Zhengkun was very unhappy.

You Junliang hurriedly explained: "Director, I'm going to follow to find it, it's not that I don't trust the police." Now my second brother has no news, and his identity information has not been filed at the police station, but during the time we talked on the phone, he kept saying that he was in the mine. Then it is very likely that something happened to them, or they were controlled and locked up in secret. Since it is secretly closed, the people who lock them up must have taken precautions, and they are always on guard against the police.

Although I have never been to a mine, I can imagine that the mines must be very deep underground. If you lock people down, the police may not be able to find them, and the police will not be able to go down all the mines. In this case, it is an option to sneak in as a miner or talk to a miner who knows about it.

In addition, I followed the search to give some hope to the families. Now that the group is gone, the rest of the people don't need to compare, but the hope in their hearts is getting smaller and smaller. Once hope is completely dashed, they are likely to lose their minds and go to the county to make trouble, or to the top. Now there are people who have this trend, especially the old man Yao, whose two sons are missing, and today they are already anxiously scolding the street, looking for death, and saying that they want to go up there to make trouble.

Regardless of whether they are reasonable or not, the county will definitely be asked to deal with it properly, and the county's board will also fall on the relevant handling leaders. I'm going along now, at least to alleviate this kind of thing, and maybe I'll find out something. If these family members have any strengths and weaknesses, the county will also be in trouble, and the above will definitely know the news. ”

Glancing at Hou Zhengkun, Li Xiaohe said: "In this way, don't make a statement to others first, wait for us to study and study, and then reply to you." However, you also need to be prepared that your request may not pass, which in itself is a very risky behavior. ”

"I don't tell anyone, I just want people to stop making a fuss now." After You Junliang finished speaking, he got up and left the house.
