"Ding Bang", "Ding Bang", the sudden ringing of the bell woke up Li Xiaohe, who was taking a lunch break.

Seeing the caller number on the mobile phone, Li Xiaohe immediately pressed the answer button: "Director Hou, you say." ”

Hou Zhengkun's voice came: "Director Li, Du Zhenggang called just now, and they have already arrived at the Xiaojinggou Lead Mine in Wuliang Township and met the mine manager. The mine manager said that there were indeed four people in the mine who had been on leave, and also provided records related to the leave. As for where the four people went, he didn't know, only that the four people had left the mine, and he hadn't seen them in the past few days anyway. ”

"On vacation? Are the four people registered at the police station? Li Xiaohe asked.

"Du Zhenggang showed copies of the ID cards of the four people, and the mine manager confirmed that they were the four people, and the names on the leave records provided were exactly the same as those of the four people." The other party replied.

Li Xiaohe let out an "oh" and asked again: "When will the four of them be on vacation?" When did the mine manager say they would come back? ”

"I said I should go back today, and I will have a shift tomorrow morning. The mine stipulates that there are two days off a month, which can be accumulated and rested, and they each saved five days of leave, and this time they took one leave. The mine manager also said that if there is little rest in normal times, the miners are generally in the dormitory, and if they are not feeling well or have special things, the miners are not willing to rest. Although two days off per month are allowed, there is no pay on the day off, and if the number of days exceeds the prescribed number, double wages will be deducted. If the time off is long, people tend to go home or do something. This time, the four of them didn't say anything, anyway, they fulfilled a vacation formalities, and then left. Regarding the vacation of the four people, Du Zhenggang and they were ready to ask the four workers, but the workers were still underground, and they were also waiting. Hou Zhengkun gave the answer.

Li Xiaohe remembered something again: "By the way, on the file of the police station, Yao Sanwang left the mine at the end of the first month of this year, what does the mine say?" ”

"There is a record of Yao Sanwang's resignation in the mine, which is Xiaojinggou who left on March 13, which is completely consistent with the record of the police station. The mine manager said that he had never seen Yao Sanwang since then, let alone Yao Erwang. After a pause, Hou Zhengkun added, "Secretary Tang just called to ask, and I have already reported to him." If other leaders ask, Director Li, you can report, and if there is a new situation, I will report to the director again. ”

Li Xiaohe hurriedly said: "Director Hou, don't say report to me, isn't that killing me?" I'm flattered that you can keep me informed. ”

"A report is a report, and this cannot be ambiguous. I've got another call coming in, so I'll hang up first. Hou Zhengkun's voice is here, and there is no sound in the mobile phone.

Putting down the phone, Li Xiaohe asked himself: On vacation?

Although Li Xiaohe doesn't know much about the life of miners, he is not ignorant.

When I was working in Zhouyukou Township, the township also found a mine line, which was an iron mine. The relevant prospecting departments in the province have also explored, but the grade of the ore is not high, and the burial is deep, and it does not have mining value with the existing technical conditions. For this reason, Dong Dingfang, the head of the township at that time, was still regretful, and after Li Xiaohe was transferred, Dong Dingfang also found someone to toss around, and finally gave up.

When the prospecting department was prospecting in Zhouyukou Township, Li Xiaohe, although he was the township secretary and focused on party affairs, organization, and personnel, had also had contact with these experts. Together with Dong Dingfang, he was invited to visit the mining areas in other places, and during the visit, he learned about the life of the miners.

During a brief conversation with the person in charge of the mining area, Li Xiaohe once asked about the vacation, and did not understand why he was only allowed to take one day off a month and deduct the day's salary. The person in charge of the mining area said very bluntly, the wool comes from the sheep, and if two days off a week are allowed and the salary is paid monthly, the monthly salary will be much lower. When they asked the miners in private, the miners made it clear that they would rather take less rest and never rest if they could, taking the principle of earning more money, and suffering was to earn more money and for the life of their wives and children.

Although the practice of the mining area is contrary to the relevant regulations and regulations, it has its objective reasons for its existence, and there are many such examples in real life. For example, this is also the case in construction companies, many times front-line construction workers do not stipulate the number of days allowed to take leave, and people only ask for leave when they have special things. However, the vast majority of workers are still willing to do this, and do not agree with the two-day rest per week, and they usually feel sorry for the rainy break, let alone the special and grandiose vacation.

It is precisely because of his understanding of the mentality of the workers in the mining area that Li Xiaohe feels that the practice of the four of them taking five days off in a row is unreasonable. Although there is a provision for two days off per month in the mine, which can also be accumulated, but there is no salary during the rest period, how can they be willing to take five days in a row? If they went home to visit their wives and children, they would have been willing, but they didn't come back. What is there to do for them?

"Ding Woo Bang", the mobile phone rings.

Seeing the caller number, Li Xiaohe immediately connected: "Secretary." ”

Leng Ruoxue's voice sounded: "Is there any progress on Hou Zhengkun's side?" ”

"I just answered the call from the director-in-waiting, and I was about to report to you. Director Hou said...... "Li Xiaohe repeated what Hou Zhengkun said.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaohe was still in the office, and his mobile phone rang again.

Seeing the number on it, Li Xiaohe shook his head lightly, and then pressed the answer button.

You Junliang's voice immediately came from the mobile phone: "Director Li, is there any news?" ”

"Not yet, the police are still waiting for the workers, they have been waiting for two times, and they are still waiting for the third one. In addition, we are also contacting workers who are on vacation. Li Xiaohe continued to adopt "deception".

There was a silence on the phone, and the other party's voice came again: "Director Li, I was thinking, you said that there must be at least one hundred and eighty people in the mine, and they don't have a file record or anything?" Neither at the police station? There must be a work schedule, so how can there be a name on it? ”

Li Xiaohe's heart moved, but he didn't tell his true thoughts, but made up an explanation: "The flow of workers in the mining area is very frequent, some people go for two or three days and leave, and some people don't go after a shift." If the mine is troublesome, it will not go to the police station for the record, and most of the police stations are too lazy to investigate further, and the county public security bureau is preparing to standardize this kind of management. There are work records, but now a total of several mining areas have been checked, and there are twenty or thirty cave entrances, and the workers are in three shifts, and each shift is different. Now there are more than 20 bookkeepers who are not in the mine, and they are contacting them because they cannot see the locked-up schedule. ”

The other party said "oh": "That means, I haven't found out my second brother's news yet?" Didn't find any of them? ”

"Ah, that's the case for the time being, maybe I didn't find the right mining area. If no one can be found after checking these mining areas, the county plans to check the new mining area, and even check the ore selection site at that time. After compiling the "ghost story", Li Xiaohe changed the topic, "The living customs of the two places are different, you still have to adapt to food and accommodation, right?" I wanted to visit you today, but I'm really sorry to have stumbled over something, but I hope you can understand. ”

"Director Lu and Director Mu came here today and said that you have just been in the county for a short time, you are busy with work, and you have a lot of work on weekends, which we all understand. The food and accommodation are arranged very well, and we are grateful to the county in our hearts, but we have no appetite, and the food and drink are not fragrant. Speaking of this, You Junliang sighed, "Hey, when will you find someone, if you don't continue like this, people won't be able to stand it at all, and now the elderly will have a pit." ”

"Explain and persuade the old man, I am also urging diligently, if there is any latest news, I will tell you as soon as possible." Li Xiaohe made an empty guarantee, "Don't worry, the county attaches great importance to this matter, and the secretary and county magistrate have personally inquired, and they will definitely do everything possible to help everyone find someone." ”

"Hey...... You're busy. The words came out of the phone, but there was no sound.

"Hey......" Li Xiaohe couldn't help but sigh and put down his phone.

Don't look at what I said to the other party just now, I was very calm, in fact, Li Xiaohe was also weak-hearted, it was nonsense, and it couldn't stand scrutiny. Moreover, this kind of lie can only be used for a while, and it will soon become invalid with the passage of time, and if the other party asks about it again tomorrow, these nonsense words will not work today, and they will not be able to be said again.

Scratching his scalp, Li Xiaohe remembered something, so he picked up his mobile phone again and dialed a number.

Soon, a voice came from the mobile phone: "Director Li, what are your orders?" ”

Li Xiaohe snorted: "Director Hou, what can you command, isn't that the matter?" I want to ask, there is no work sheet or anything in the mining area, there should be a name and work situation on it, right? There should also be one on the financial payroll. ”

Hou Zhengkun replied: "Du Zhenggang and they will definitely not let go of this kind of thing, but all the mines have been contracted out, there are contract foremen, and the miners themselves keep track of their work." After the contractor settles the money, the work sheet is not kept, and the work sheet that can be found is only nearly a month or two. From the work table I check now, I don't see anything, just like what the mine manager said, the four people had a shift a few days ago, and they just didn't go to it for the past five days, and the mine manager I am talking about is the foreman of the cave contract. The leave procedures for the four people mentioned in the morning were also requested by Du Zhenggang from the mining area, and the mine manager of the mining area asked the contractor to provide them.

I also looked at some of the financial accounts, but the mining areas were all allocated by the contractor, and the accounts did not reflect the situation of the miners at all, so there was no miner's name. When the contractor pays the workers, he signs the work sheet, and the work is done after the payment is completed, let alone the accounts. By the way, Du Zhenggang also asked the workers of those people, but people only knew that they were on vacation, and the others did not know. At present, Du Zhenggang and the others are still continuing to investigate, and they are also waiting to see if those people really return on time. ”

It seems that his doubts have a reason to come from, and Li Xiaohe can't help but feel excited.

Just then, the landline phone rang.

"Director Hou, then let's do this first, I'm here to call." After getting the other party's response, Li Xiaohe pressed the red hang-up button.

Putting down the mobile phone, Li Xiaohe picked up the fixed-line receiver: "Lao Xu...... Oh, and still haven't found anything...... Oh, probably. ”
