Chapter 22 The Shocking Case (1)
1
When Fan Zetian was 30 years old, he was already an old criminal policeman in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of our city bureau.

This morning, he had just solved a major homicide case and was given a one-week holiday by the leader as an exception. He packed a suitcase and was about to go to Zhangjiajie for a vacation. Before he could cross the threshold, his mobile phone rang Yes, as soon as I answered, it turned out that there was an urgent mission in the bureau.

Without saying a word, he dropped his luggage, drove the car, and hurried to the city bureau.

When I came to the office of the bureau, Zhang Huaishan, the director of the bureau, who was in his fifties this year, was sitting at his desk, with thick brows furrowed, half a cigarette butt in his mouth, and an open letter in front of him.

As soon as Fan Zetian ran in, he frowned at the smell of smoke that filled the room.

He thumped in his heart, knowing that something serious must have happened, otherwise the director would not have trouble with cigarettes.

Sure enough, seeing him coming in, Director Zhang pushed the letter in front of him to him without saying anything.

He hurriedly took a look, and saw the letter read:

Dear city leaders:

Hello!

Here, I want to report to you an extremely serious case involving the death of more than [-] people, hoping to attract your attention.

On July 7 this year, a serious landslide occurred in the Qingyang Coal Mine under the Qingyang General Mining and Metallurgy Factory. At least 13 miners were buried alive in the mine.After the incident, the owner of the mine, Yu Rongzong, the director of Qingyang General Mining and Metallurgy Factory, was afraid that the news would cause a big stir and the relevant leaders would hold him accountable. Instead of trying to rescue the underground miners who still had hope of survival, they instead filled the well and flattened the mine, cleaned up the scene, blocked the news, created false appearances, and concealed the truth of the accident.His behavior not only seriously violated discipline and law, but also reached the point where people and gods were indignant and heaven could not tolerate it.Because most of the miners who knew the news and the families of the victims were threatened by the mine owner, they dared to be angry and dare not speak out, so outsiders know very little about this matter.

In order not to let the person responsible for the accident go unpunished, and to return justice to the families of the dead miners, I hereby write a letter to report to you, please pay attention to it, and please investigate thoroughly.

After Fan Zetian finished reading the letter, he slammed his fist on the table with a "bang", and the teacup jingled and jumped up.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay to be so greedy for profit and careless about human life!"

Zhang Huaishan glanced at him, nodded, pressed the cigarette butt in his hand firmly into the ashtray, exhaled the last smoke ring and said: "After receiving this letter, the city leaders have attached great importance to the situation reflected in the letter. At 07:30 in the morning, Deputy Mayor Yao called me and passed this letter to me, telling me to deal with it in a timely and proper manner. I have called the local police station and talked with their director Jiang Dajun. He said they It is true that he has received a similar report call, and he also went to the mine to check it himself, there is no such thing at all, it is purely a false accusation. What do you think?"

Fan Zetian frowned slightly, and said in thought: "In recent years, coal mine accidents have occurred frequently across the country. It is not uncommon for mine owners to block the news for their own self-interest. It is not uncommon for the mine owners to conceal the truth of the accident. He has done his superficial work well, so the investigation in Mingli will naturally have no results."

Zhang Huaishan looked at him and asked, "You mean..."

"I think this case should only be visited unannounced, not openly investigated."

Zhang Huaishan nodded, took out another cigarette, lit it and said, "I agree with your opinion. Of course, the possibility of someone writing a false accusation cannot be ruled out. Whether the situation is true or not, it is still too early to draw conclusions." , after a thorough investigation, we will find out. Who do you think is the most suitable person to handle this case?"

Fan Zetian puffed up his chest and said, "Ju Zhang, I used to work in a coal mine when I was young, and I am familiar with this industry. I should go there in person. Besides, the young people assigned to the bureau are all delicate and delicate. The meat is not the material for digging coal in wells."

Zhang Huaishan also smiled and said, "But you are on vacation."

Fan Zetian smiled and said, "After you solve this case, you can make up another month's vacation for me to have a good time."

Zhang Huaishan pressed most of the cigarettes in his hand into the ashtray, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, no problem, I will give you a month's leave immediately after you finish this case. Oh, yes, the local police station Chief Jiang Dajun is my old subordinate, you go down and find him first, and then start your work, which will be beneficial to your investigation."

Fan Zetian nodded vigorously and said, "I understand, Chief, just wait for my good news."

Qingyang General Mining and Metallurgy Factory is one of the largest private enterprises in Qingyang City. The factory director Yu Rongzong is not only an outstanding entrepreneur in Qingyang City, but also a member of the CPPCC.

Qingyang Coal Mine has more than 500 miners and managers, and it is the largest open-pit mine in Qingyang City.

Due to the high labor intensity of mining and coal mining, it is generally difficult for miners to work for a long time, so the turnover of miners in the mine is also very large, which forces the mine owners to often post recruitment advertisements at the entrance of the mine.

No, early this morning, a job advertisement was posted at the gate of the Qingyang Coal Mine, saying that it wanted to recruit 50 new miners, requiring males, in good health, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, with a monthly salary of 3000— 6000 yuan.

These days, if the recruitment flag is really planted, there will be people who eat food.

In less than half a day after the job advertisement was posted, 50 miners were recruited.

Fan Zetian is one of them.

After completing the recruitment procedures, Fan Zetian was led into the mine together with other new miners.

The mine is backed by the majestic Qingyang Mountain, and two dark mine shafts are exposed on the mountainside. Miners dragged coal carts in and out of the mine. scene.

There is a row of work sheds a few hundred meters away from the mine, and the work sheds are divided into small rooms, which are the dormitories of the miners.

Not far from the work shed, there is a bungalow, which is the office and accommodation place for the senior managers of the mine.

A work shed is only six or seven square meters, and there is an iron frame bed with two floors above and below, and two people live in each room.

The person who shared the room with Fan Zetian was a thin middle-aged man named He Zhenfei, a local.

As soon as the two of them put down their luggage and made the bed, the captain of the miner ran over yelling and urged the new miners to go to work quickly, saying that the factory manager was coming to the mine to inspect the work soon.

The new miners didn't dare to neglect, they immediately changed into work clothes, put on safety helmets with miner's lamps, went to the mine mouth, and waited for the captain's deployment.

Some were assigned to dig coal in wells, some were assigned to piling in wells, and Fan Zetian and He Zhenfei were assigned to pull coal trucks.

Fan Zetian pulled a coal cart and walked deep into the mine.

The mine shaft is dug very low, only about half the height of a person, and people walking in it must face the ground with their hands and feet to enter.

Wooden piles are driven on both sides of the mine, and thick planks are laid across them to support the soil above.

The mine shaft is very narrow, just big enough for two coal cars to pass, one coming in and the other going out.

Due to the incomplete drainage system, the bottom of the mine is very humid, and the ventilation and light transmission conditions are not good. The air in the mine is very stuffy and the light is dark. find out the situation.

He was secretly surprised, working in such an environment, death is always with him, how can there be no accidents?

The mine is nearly 200 meters deep. After Fan Zetian dragged the coal cart in, the coal miners quickly filled the coal cart, and he began to drag the coal cart back.

A truckload of wet raw coal weighed more than 200 kilograms, and the road under his feet was muddy and difficult to walk. Fan Zetian basically crawled forward on his hands and feet on the ground.

When the first load of coal was pulled out, he was exhausted, his body was covered with mud and water, and his face was also covered with a thick layer of black coal.

Halfway through the road with the third cart of raw coal, an old miner in his fifties in front of Fan Zetian fell, and the coal cart kept sliding backwards.

Fan Zetian had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and hastily stretched out a hand to hold the coal cart. Only then did the old miner get up from the ground, looked back at him gratefully, and continued to move forward with the cart.

When he got out of the well, Fan Zetian saw a beautiful car slowly driving in from the gate of the mine, stopped in front of the bungalow where the administrator worked in the mine, and came out of the car. A fat, white, wearing glasses A middle-aged man, a group of people immediately rushed out of the bungalow to meet him.

They walked towards the mine together.

As he got closer, Fan Zetian could see clearly that the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was imposing, with "Great China" in his mouth, pointing at the miners who were sweating and toiling in the mine from time to time.

On his left stood a man in his thirties who was talking to him with a smiling face.

On the right arm of the middle-aged man was a beautiful girl in her twenties who was wearing a short dress and a long skirt.

Fan Zetian couldn't help being curious, caught up with the old miner in front, and asked quietly: "Uncle, who is that middle-aged man wearing glasses? He is so majestic."

The old miner curled his lips and said, "Except for the boss, who else has such a grand style?"

Fan Zetian let out an "oh", and then realized that it was the factory director Yu Rongzong who came to inspect the work.

The old miner continued: "Boss Yu doesn't usually go up the mountain easily, and the affairs of the mine are usually handed over to Supervisor Qin—the man on his left, his name is Qin Bao, and he is the supervisor here. He is fierce to the miners all day long." Yes, when you meet your boss, you become a pug."

"Who is that woman holding the boss's arm?"

"Her name is Wang Qianna. It is said that she is a college graduate. She is Boss Yu's assistant in name but actually his 'Xiaomi'. She has only been in the mine for more than ten days, but Boss Yu trusts her very much. Director Qin has the final say, and now she and Director Qin are in charge of it. Assistant Wang is a celebrity around the boss, and has more power than Director Qin."

The two were talking, when the captain of the supervisor ran up and kicked them, yelling, "Damn it, you're lazy when you see the boss coming, don't you want to do it?" The two hurriedly dragged the coal truck into the up the mine.

After a while, the captain's voice was no longer heard. Fan Zecai slowed down and asked the old miner in front, "Uncle, have you worked here for a long time?"

The old miner replied: "I have been working for more than two years, so I am an old miner. Hey, are you new here? What's your name? How old are you? Why did you come to this place to work?"

Fan Zetian said: "I'm new here, my surname is Fan, and my name is Fan Zetian. I'm almost 30 years old this year, my family is poor, and I haven't married a wife yet, so I came to work in the mine to earn some money and go home to ask for a wife."

The old miner stopped in his tracks, looked back at him, and said, "What a coincidence, my surname is also Fan. We were a family 500 years ago. I have a son who is the same age as you and also works in this mine. Unfortunately... ..." At this point, he sighed, and a bleak look flashed across his absent-minded eyes.

Fan Zetian was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity, it's a pity that he..." As soon as the old man Fan said this, Fan Zetian's coal car was kicked hard with a "bang", and someone behind him shouted: "What are you dawdling in, hurry up!"

Fan Zetian glanced back, only to realize that the person behind him was his roommate He Zhenfei who lived in the same room with him.

He had no choice but to stop talking, quicken his pace, and dragged the coal cart forward.

There was the team leader and supervisor outside, and He Zhenfei kept urging him down the well. Fan Zetian didn't find a chance to talk to old man Fan until the end of the day.

After dinner, the team leader came to tell Director Qin that the factory manager came down to inspect the work today and was very dissatisfied with the speed at which the miners were working. In order to catch up with the progress, he had to work overtime for two hours every day after dinner.After working overtime, each person will be given a pack of instant noodles.The miners had no choice but to work overtime again.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the night that I finished working overtime.

When the miners returned to their dormitories, everyone was so tired that their bones fell apart, and they didn't even bother to take a shower, so they fell into bed covered in mud and sweat and went to sleep.

However, Fan Zetian couldn't fall asleep. He didn't forget the reconnaissance task assigned to him by the leader, let alone his purpose of sneaking into the mine.But after his initial observation of the mine, everything was calm and normal, and nothing suspicious could be seen.

Could it be that the information provided in the report letter is false?

Or is the fox clamping his tail too tightly so that he can't see the flaw?

Where should we start investigating this case?

He tossed and turned, thinking hard.

Time passed by, the night was already very deep, and he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint cry, the sound was desolate and terrifying.

He couldn't help being startled. In the middle of the night, who is crying sadly outside?

He got up quietly and walked out of the shed, wanting to find out.

The moonlight was hazy outside, everything was silent, and the crying could be heard more clearly.

Holding his breath and concentrating on it, he tiptoed towards the direction where the weeping came from behind the shed.

Not far behind the shed, there is a small forest.

A man was kneeling in the woods, with a stick of incense sticking in front of him.

The incense was extinguished, and the man cried louder and more sadly, and while weeping, he sobbed bitterly and said: "My dog, you died so badly! Dad is useless, there is no way to save you, there is no way to help you!" For revenge, don't blame father, if you want to blame, blame the god-killed Boss Yu..."

Fan Zetian couldn't help feeling very surprised, he walked over gently, and when he was seven or eight steps away from the man, he finally saw his face clearly.

He was taken aback, and couldn't help shouting: "Uncle Fan, is that you?"

It turned out that this person was the old man Fan who had talked to him during the day.

The old man Fan was startled suddenly. Seeing someone coming, he quickly stomped out the incense sticks on the ground. Before he could wipe away his tears, he stood up and left.

Fan Zetian felt that something was wrong, so he quickly caught up with him and said, "Uncle Fan, you don't know me anymore? I'm Fan Zetian."

Old man Fan still said without turning his head, "I know you, brother, just pretend you didn't see anything, go back to sleep."

Fan Zetian said: "But I saw everything. Tell me what happened? What happened to your son?"

Old man Fan glanced at him, wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak, and shook his head after a long while and said, "Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't tell you, it's for your own good. Don't ask any more, move."

Fan Zetian seemed to understand something from his expression, grabbed his arm, and said, "Uncle Fan, tell me, did a landslide happen here last month? Was your son buried alive under the mine? Yes Didn't Boss Yu threaten you and tell you not to say anything?"

Old man Fan froze for a moment, then suddenly squatted on the ground and cried.Fan Zetian helped him up and said loudly, "Tell me quickly, is that so?"

Old man Fan raised his tear-ridden face, looked at him, suddenly his eyes dimmed, his lips trembled, and he was about to speak, when suddenly a strong flashlight came over, and a voice shouted: "Hey, You two, sneaking around in the middle of the night, what do you want to do? Do you want to steal something? "

Fan Zetian was startled, and looked up, the person who came was Qin Bao, the supervisor of the mine.

The old man Fan's face changed, and he said in fear: "Master, supervisor, I, I... came out to pee..." As he spoke, he hurried away with his head bowed while wiping the tears on his face.

Qin Bao pointed the flashlight at Fan Zetian's eyes: "What about you?"

Fan Zetian hesitated, and said, "It's too hot, I, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I want to go out for a walk..."

Qin Bao swept his face with a flashlight and said, "Are you called Fan Zetian? From tomorrow onwards, you won't have to work, you've been fired."

Fan Zetian was taken aback: "Why?"

Qin Bao glared at him and said, "Looking at you, you must not be a good person. Staying here will only cause me trouble, so..."

"Wait a minute!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a person suddenly came out of the darkness, a woman, in a short dress and long skirt, with shawl hair, slim and charming, it turned out to be Wang Qianna, the assistant to the factory director.

She walked up to Qin Bao, frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "Director Qin, you're being careless in doing this. I observed him during the day and he worked very hard. How could you just fire someone like that so casually?" What about good employees? Let’s forget about what happened today.”

"Hmph!" Qin Bao's face turned pale, and he looked very ugly. He glanced at her, then at Fan Zetian, turned off the flashlight, and walked away resentfully.

Wang Qianna looked at Fan Zetian, suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice, "The mine is full of dangers, you must be careful!"

Fan Zetian was taken aback, not understanding why she said such a sentence to him, just about to say something, but she already smiled, turned and left.

He also had no choice but to go back to his room to sleep with full of doubts.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw He Zhenfei, who was in the same dormitory, lying on the window and looking out.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he quickly slipped onto the bed and pretended to be asleep.

He frowned, didn't think much, and went to bed.

The next day, Fan Zetian was still assigned by the team leader to pull coal trucks.

But the strange thing is, he pulled back and forth in the mine several times, but he didn't see old man Fan.

He thought that old man Fan was sent by the captain to work elsewhere, so he didn't take it to heart, he just thought that when he saw him again, he must ask him clearly.

He knew that maybe the breakthrough of this case was in Old Man Fan.

However, until dinner at night, there was still no sign of Old Man Fan.

Only then did he seem to realize something, and secretly felt something was wrong.

In the evening, in the middle of the night, when He Zhenfei fell asleep on the lower bunk, he jumped out of the bed again, and with the last hope, he went to look in the woods last night, but there was no one in the woods.

Old man Fan seemed to have evaporated, and he could never be found again.

An ominous sign rose in his heart, and he blamed himself secretly, maybe it was his recklessness and impulsiveness last night that hurt Old Man Fan.In this way, his only clue was broken.

He was thinking and wandering outside the woods, when he looked up by chance, he suddenly saw a figure flashing out from the back door of the administrator's dormitory not far away, after looking around for a while, he quickly ran towards the mine.

He froze for a moment, who is this person?What are you doing at the mine so late?

He couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, so he quietly followed.

The moonlight was clear, and he quickly followed that person. Looking from his back, that person should be Wang Qianna, assistant to the factory director.

She walked quickly to the foot of the mountain, bypassed the two mines being mined, came to the other side of the mountain, stopped on a weedy hillside, and looked back to see if anyone was following her.
