In order to solve the doubts in his heart, Lu Yiwei bit the bullet and went to Donghua Coal Mine. Coincidentally, Liu Qiang and Ding Changhua weren't there, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
As the name suggested, the 'cool' activity was to bring some towels, toothpaste, fans, watermelons, and other worthless things to the frontline workers, reflecting the humanistic care and value of existence. In a sense, they were all just going through the motions. When the time came, they would make an impassioned speech praising the merits and virtues under the sun, win the applause of the workers, leave a video, and then leave.
The union was a strange department. Its full name was the Workers' Union, and its main responsibility was to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers. In foreign countries, most of them were civil organizations, and the core members were mainly lawyers and labor experts. They had amazing power, not only because they had votes in their hands, but also because it was related to the unity and stability of a region. In Zhou Libo's words, the main responsibility of Western unions was to strike, and their power was imaginable.
China's unions started early and became the backbone of the old and new democracies. Later, they became a professional department in the form of social organizations, and almost every unit and enterprise had such a department. But the weight of his words was smaller than the sound of a mosquito. To a certain extent, they could organize workers' entertainment, such as workers' theaters, workers' cinemas, and workers' competitions on May Day every year.
The person who received Lu Yiwei was Deputy Manager Zhang of the coal mine, and his attitude was not bad. After the two accompanied the county union leader for a photo, they returned to the office and chatted for a while to understand the operation of the coal mine and the problems.
Deputy Manager Zhang knew that Lu Yiwei couldn't solve the problem even if he raised an opinion, and there was no need for him to solve it. He chatted about all sorts of things, but the other party didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. But he couldn't issue an eviction order. The other party was, after all, a member of the County party committee, so he could only talk about some useless topics.
Lu Yiwei changed the topic and said, "I haven't seen Guoguogou Coal Mine since it was acquired by you. Why don't you accompany me to take a look?"
Deputy Manager Zhang didn't know what the other party was planning, so he smiled and said, "Guoguogou Coal Mine is currently in the construction stage, and there's nothing to see. It's such a hot day, so it's better to enjoy the air conditioning and drink tea here. "
Lu Yiwei could hear the other party's unwillingness, so he got up and said, "Fine. I'll go take a look myself. The burden on my shoulders is too heavy. The county has emphasized safety several times, but I don't take it seriously, and no one to share it with me. "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei insisted on going, Vice President Zhang had no choice but to accompany him. He could only bite the bullet and follow.
When he arrived at Guoguogou Coal Mine, Lu Yiwei walked around the area but did not find anything unusual. He found a few miners and chatted with them. None of them sounded like they were from Sichuan. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly had a new discovery.
Lu to to, and and, he Lu. To Yiwei 'An Zhang and to, Zhang, he Mine, of the Shan, he Manager Zhang to him to, he, and to. He to. To, of it. mind, and, he, and, he, Lu., and, of, of of of of of. and,.
Lun Lu had of Of Dong of of of. with.. with..... of. of To, Lu was..,. Lu.,.. In the picture, Lu Yiwei was sitting at the entrance of the mine, chatting with a few miners. He was not interested in his own image, but the miners he was chatting with.
Lun Lu remembered! When he was in the countryside, there was a Sichuan worker called Liang, and he was chatting with him. Could he be Wang Caixia's husband?
Deputy Zhang saw Lu Yiwei was very focused and explained, "Our Dong Hua Coal Mine just took over, and the page is still Guoguogou Coal Mine's profile. I arranged for someone to replace it this afternoon."
Lu Yiwei did not reply. He quickly analyzed the man's appearance and imprinted it in his mind.
"Mr. Lu, this photo is very good. Don't worry. I will keep it." Deputy Zhang thought Lu Yiwei cared about his image, so he quickly added.
Lu Yiwei turned around and smiled. "How can I be on such a stage? But this photo is really good. I wonder if you have a copy?"
Deputy Zhang shook his head. "That's all in the past. I'm not sure."
After leaving Guoguogou Coal Mine, Lu Yiwei rushed back to the county and went to the news center. He remembered that the news media had been invited for the research that day. The news center would definitely keep such a good shot.
As expected, it did not take long to find it. The news center director took the time to flatter Lu Yiwei. He made a set of all of Lu Yiwei's photos and sent them to him in a photo album.
After returning to Shiwan Village, Lu Yiwei held the photo and wondered if he should show it to Wang Caixia. If it was not, he could just send her away after all the work was done. If she was identified, what should he do next? After hesitating for a long time, he decided to show it to her.
As expected, the man in the photo was Wang Caixia's husband. At the same time, Wang Caixia provided an even more important clue. The other three men in the photo were from her hometown. They had come out together and had not returned yet.
The situation was getting more and more complicated. Lu Yiwei felt that something was wrong. After comforting Wang Caixia, he returned to his office.
After some thought, he called Deputy Jiang Yucheng, who was in charge of the coal mines, over to understand the situation.
"Is everything normal at the coal mines?" Lu Yiwei asked.
Jiang Yucheng did not know what Lu Yiwei was referring to. He said, "Mr. Lu, everything is normal. Don't worry. Since you've given me this important task, I promise to do my best and nip all the hidden dangers in the bud. "
"Hmm, that's good." Lu Yiwei asked in a different way, "Mayor Jiang, I noticed something when I was visiting today. There used to be more workers from Sichuan, but now there are more people from Anhui and Henan? And they're all new faces. "
Jiang Yucheng's heart tightened, but he pretended to be relaxed. "They think this place is less profitable, so they've all gone to Eastern State. It's normal for new faces to appear in the coal mines. They're very mobile. They come one day and leave the next. They'll go wherever the pay is high. "
"Oh?" Lu Yiwei said, "Why did I hear that they've all gone to Shanxi?"
Seeing how detailed Lu Yiwei was, Jiang Yucheng laughed and said, "Maybe. I'm not too sure about the specifics. Do you want me to ask around for you? "
Lu Yiwei quickly waved his hand and said, "No need. I was just asking."
Since he could not get any information from Jiang Yucheng, Lu Yiwei decided to start with the Guoguogou coal mine. He arranged for Li Ermao to find a worker who had worked in the mine for a long time by any means necessary.
At night, Li Ermao got the old man who guarded the coal mine's gate out. To ensure the effectiveness of the conversation, Lu Yiwei brought him to a restaurant in the county town to investigate.
At first, the old man was tight-lipped and did not know anything. He even asked a few times why Lu Yiwei was treating him to a meal. However, after drinking half a bottle of wine, he changed into a different person and gradually became more talkative.
The old man said, "I've worked in the Guoguogou coal mine for nearly ten years. I've watched it grow and develop day by day. The boss, Qiao Jianjun, is a very good person and treats me well. But who knew that just as things were starting to improve, it would be taken over by that d * mned Donghua coal mine. Two days ago, he told me that the Guoguogou coal mine was going to be operated as a company and that security guards would be handling the gate. That means I'm going to lose my job. Sigh! "
Lu Yiwei beat him at his own game and said, "If they don't need you anymore, come find me. I'll arrange a job for you."
"Really?" The old man said in disbelief.
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"Oh, thank you so much. Come, let's drink!"
As they chatted, Lu Yiwei suddenly asked, "Have there been any accidents in the mine recently?"
The old man's expression suddenly became nervous. He pushed the wine glass and said, "No, absolutely not."
Lu Yiwei had already seen the result he wanted. He placed the remaining two bottles of wine in front of him and said, "You have to tell me the truth. These are all yours."
The old man was a drinker, so he took two bottles of wine. He looked around and whispered, "Since you already know, it doesn't matter if you tell me, but don't tell anyone that I told you."
The old man said, "Not long after the fire in Shuangmiao Town, there was an accident in the Guoguogou coal mine due to the explosion. Four people were killed on the spot, and one was seriously injured. But the injured one was not rescued and died. "
"Huh?" Lu Yiwei was shocked. Such a big accident happened in his territory, but he did not know about it. If it was found out, it would be a serious dereliction of duty. The other party did a good job of keeping it a secret.
The old man continued, "After the accident, the coal mine blocked all channels of information. They locked the door, locked all the miners in their dormitories, gave each of them 3,000 yuan in hush money, and sent them out of Xijiang Province overnight. I didn't know about the accident until a long time after it happened. As for the others, they didn't know. "
Lu Yiwei admired the coal mine's response, but what puzzled him was why they didn't report the accident. He asked, "How were the bodies disposed of?"
The old man said, "The four who died on the spot were buried on the spot, and the seriously injured one was cremated overnight after rescue efforts failed. The five people disappeared without a trace. Even if someone investigates in the future, no one can find the bodies, and no one can do anything to them! "
The old man's words stimulated Lu Yiwei's nerves again and again. Oh my God! They treated them like animals. It was inhumane and a reckless waste of God's gifts. He said incoherently, "Were the ones who died from Sichuan?"
"Yes!" The old man said, "There were a total of ten workers from Sichuan in the mine. After the accident, the coal mine gave them special treatment and gave each of them 10,000 yuan and sent them away. At the same time, a group of people was sent to Sichuan to find the families of the deceased and settle them down. They basically reconciled, but the family of one of the deceased went out to work. "
