Chapter 40 Construction Site Accidents

This is a relocation community around the city center, just in time for dinner, and the community is full of all kinds of food aromas. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" is here. Liu Ziyou said, "The Ministry of Information is also too good, so quickly find out the landlord's information, and you can find his address!" Fang Yan said with a sigh. You think the Ministry of Information is an ornament! Unless you are still living in the Stone Age, as long as you use technology, your information is already in the hands of the Ministry of Information. Check the information of the landlord is a small case! Liu Ziyou raised his eyebrows proudly. Please, I'm praising the Ministry of Information, what are you proud of, is it true that you like Feng Fan of the Ministry of Information?! Fang Yan slammed Liu Ziyou's shoulder with a wicked smile. I don't care about you! Investigate the case! Be serious! Liu Ziyou's ears were slightly red, he scolded Fang Yan, and immediately turned around and walked towards the master's house.

Fang Yan and Liu Ziyou came to the 803 door, Fang Yan pressed a red button on the closed security door, and the doorbell rang instantly, followed by a burst of footsteps, the second door inside opened, Fang Yan saw a black shadow in the cat's eye of the security door blocking the light, "Who are you looking for?" A woman inside the door asked warily. Is Chen Youchang at home? Fang Yan replied, "Who are you?" The woman continued, "We're the police, come and ask him about the situation." Fang Yan took out his documents, put them in front of the cat's eyes, and asked the people inside the door to check carefully. The police? What are the police looking for him? What happened to him? The woman asked in surprise, obviously with no intention of opening the door immediately, and when Fang Yan was about to say something more, a man's voice came from inside the room, "Who is outside?" "I said I was a policeman, but I didn't wear a police uniform." Then the woman lowered her voice and asked nervously, "You said it wouldn't be those people again, would you?" Although his voice was very low, Fang Yan still heard it, and he looked at Liu Ziyou with puzzled eyes. Liu Ziyou obviously also heard the conversation in the room, and shook his head slightly. As soon as the man heard the woman's words, he instantly became angry and said loudly: "What are you afraid of them doing!" There is no royal law in this world! Open the door! I'm going to see what they do! After saying that, he ignored the woman's obstruction and opened the door.

Inside the door stood a pair of middle-aged men and women, dressed simply, with a guarded face, looking at Fang Yan and Liu Ziyou with tense muscles. "Chen Youchang? We're the police, and we'd like to ask you something. Fang Yan raised his documents as he spoke, his eyes were honest and vigilant at the man, and at the same time, Liu Ziyou also took out his documents and held them up in front of the two of them. The man carefully checked the documents, seemed to confirm the identities of the two, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "I am Chen Youchang." Is there anything you want me to do? "Mr. Chen, it's not convenient outside, let's go into the house?" Liu Ziyou smiled kindly at Chen Youchang. Chen Youchang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, turned sideways slightly, and let Fang Yan and Liu Ziyou into the house. The woman looked at them stiffly and smiled awkwardly, "I'm going to get some tea." With that, he walked into the kitchen.

"Mr. Chen, have you always been so cautious?" Liu Ziyou sat on the sofa and asked puzzled. Chen Youchang looked at him with a little caution and did not answer. "Mr. Chen, we are here today, there is something I need to ask you." Fang Yan pulled the question to the point, "Four years ago, during the renovation project of Chengnan New District, there was a scaffolding collapse accident, you ...... about this matter" Before Fang Yan finished speaking, Chen Youchang was like a fried rooster and stood up from the sofa, "Sure enough, this is the case!" Say! Who sent you? Well, now even the police are colluding! Don't think I'm afraid of you! If you dare to come nonsense again, I will sue you! The country is so big, I don't believe that no one can take care of you! Fang Yan and Liu Ziyou were confused by Chen Youchang's words, but they knew that Chen Youchang must have misunderstood, so they quickly stood up, "Mr. Chen, calm down first, I don't know who you are talking about, but it's definitely not us." We are the police, we are serving the people, we will not collude with anyone, bully the people, if there is such behavior, now that communication is so developed, you have a report phone number, as long as the matter is true, we guarantee that the matter can be thoroughly investigated! Never let go of a bad person. Fang Yan said a few words, which calmed Chen Youchang down, and he carefully examined Fang Yan, trying to judge his credibility. Mr. Chen, we are now investigating a case, and the relevant clues in it are related to this accident, and during the online investigation, we saw your post and thought that you probably knew the inside story of the accident, so we came to look for you. Liu Ziyou struck while the iron was hot and said the purpose of this trip. As soon as he heard this, Chen Youchang's angry gaze eased, and he asked suspiciously: "A case related to the accident?" What case? "It's not convenient to disclose the details of the case at this time." Fang Yan said slightly apologetically, "But we came to investigate, it must be for the purpose of protecting people's safety and maintaining social order, so please trust us and tell us what you know." Fang Yan said sincerely. Liu Ziyou nodded, and then said, "Judging from what you just said, it seems that this matter has endangered your life?" Can you elaborate on that? Chen Youchang picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, then looked at Fang Yan and Liu Ziyou, and sighed, "I sent out this matter at the time in the hope of getting attention and seeking justice for the victims through the power of the Internet, but at that time, the Internet was not as common as it is now, and it was also hindered by profiteers in the process of posting, so it did not serve the intended purpose at all." Ay...... It's too late to say that it's just a piece of news, and it can't help the victims. If only you had come a few years earlier. After speaking, he sighed again and began to tell Fang Yan and Liu Ziyou about the events of the year.

At that time, Chen Youchang was still a newspaper reporter, because his reports were too truthful and he didn't know how to be flexible, he never got reused, and he also indirectly offended some people. When the accident occurred in the Nancheng renovation project, he did not participate in it, but was sent by the newspaper to the farmers' market to conduct research and write a report on the price of vegetables for people's livelihood. At that time, WeChat and Weibo had just existed, but the self-media was far less developed than it is now, and the public's understanding of the news still came from TV and newspapers. The renovation accident coincided with the quadrennial European Championship, and in order to meet the public's interest, all major pages of the newspaper news were devoted to reporting on the European Championship and the players, and the report on the accident only occupied an inconspicuous corner. Chen Youchang didn't pay much attention to the report at first, and he didn't listen to the specific content of his colleagues too much, but fate is sometimes like a gust of wind, and it is easy to stir two originally unrelated leaves together, and the same is true for people.

One day, Chen Youchang received a phone call, the call was from a vegetable vendor surnamed Wu, she was met by Chen Youchang during the vegetable market to investigate the price of vegetables, Chen Youchang called her Sister Wu. As soon as the phone was connected, the cry of "woo woo~" on the opposite side attracted Chen Youchang's attention, and after careful questioning, it turned out that Sister Wu's man was a victim in the accident of the Nancheng reconstruction project, and the cause of the accident has been determined, that is, the construction site used inferior building materials, resulting in the collapse of the scaffolding due to insufficient load-bearing. Although the developer sent employees to offer condolences to the victims' families, the specific compensation fell on the building materials provider.

"This building materials provider is an unscrupulous profiteer!" Chen Youchang said angrily, "In order to reduce compensation, he worked with the foreman to forge the victim's illegal operation certificate, saying that in the process of work, in order to save trouble, the victim operated in violation of regulations, regardless of the safety tips of the construction site, took off the safety lock, and climbed the scaffolding with his bare hands!" In reality, safety locks were not provided at all, and the victims did not climb, but only carried out regular wall work on scaffolding. "Then the workers who worked at the same time can come out and prove it!" Liu Zi lobbied. Chen Youchang sighed and continued: "I asked Sister Wu, and she said that she had gone to ask the workers to come out to testify, but the workers were all fellow villagers of the foreman, either that they didn't see it, or that the construction site provided a safety lock. No matter how much she pleaded, it was useless. Later, I heard that it was the foreman who gave the workers 200 yuan per person for hush money. Speaking of this, Chen Youchang paused, clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed the table, "A human life!" It's not as good as two hundred dollars! How can you say that people's values have become like this now!! Hearing this, Fang Yan and Liu Ziyou also shook their heads helplessly.

Later, because of the violation certificate provided by the profiteer, Sister Wu and they only received 20,000 yuan in compensation, which was a drop in the bucket for Sister Wu, who had lost the breadwinner of the family, so she went to the profiteer to evaluate and refused to sign the compensation agreement. The profiteer sent a project manager and a secretary to deal with Sister Wu. At that time, Sister Wu thought that as long as she didn't sign the compensation agreement, she would have the capital to negotiate, but unfortunately she was too simple! The wicked have no bottom line, and the common people can only suffer losses in the face of unscrupulous businessmen who are rich and powerful. Chen Youchang leaned back slightly, and said weakly, "The profiteer found a bunch of ruffians and hooligans, smashed Sister Wu's vegetable stall, and went to the landlord's house to warn him that he was not allowed to rent to Sister Wu." So the desperate Sister Wu thought of me and hoped that I could help her come up with ideas. At the same time, I helped Sister Wu find a legal aid lawyer and suggested that she solve the problem through legal means, but unfortunately I was too simple, hehe...... "Chen Youchang smiled bitterly, "My report was rejected by the editor on the grounds that it violated the facts. On the same day, Sister Wu also called me and said that she had compromised and had signed the compensation agreement. I was shocked and wondered what could have caused a man who had fought hard yesterday to succumb to the bulleous tyranny of profiteers overnight! Under my questioning, I learned that Sister Wu's child in high school had been beaten, and the profiteer threatened Sister Wu with the child's safety. I was so angry that I immediately posted the report I wrote on a very popular forum, but I didn't expect that not only did it not get attention, but it was also banned by the forum. So I tried other forums, and the story finally survived on a lesser-known website with little attention. Chen Youchang stopped, took a sip of water, and continued: "Originally, I wanted to continue to make some efforts, but I didn't expect that the minions of profiteers had reached my side, first I was threatened by phone calls, and then I was dismissed by the newspaper for violating the principles of journalists......" Chen Youchang looked sideways at his wife standing on the side, and said apologetically, "There are also people who take advantage of my absence to come in and threaten my wife several times." "Then why didn't you call the police? Let the police take care of it! Fang Yan said angrily. Chen Youchang smiled helplessly, "Do you think I didn't call the police?" Every time they call the police, the gangs of hooligans will be honest for a while, as if they got the news, and when the police let their guard down, they will come again. The police also found no substantial evidence to prove that the profiteers were involved with the gangsters, so they later stopped working. I couldn't help it later, and since the parties had compromised, I gave up. ”

"Do you still have contact with Sister Wu?" Fang Yan asked. Chen Youchang's eyes darkened, and he shook his head regretfully, "She has passed away, after her original vegetable stall in the vegetable market was smashed, the market management personnel were afraid of causing trouble, so they drove her out of the market, she had to set up a stall on the side of the road, in the process of avoiding the city management, there was a car accident, resulting in spine damage, and the lower half of her body was completely paralyzed, and then she was afraid of affecting her son, so she ...... Committed suicide. Chen Youchang said the last three words with difficulty, took a deep breath, and leaned weakly on the back of the sofa.
