Chapter Eighty-Six: Wind and Rain Lotus City

After getting into the car, Li Yi asked: "Do you have any specific news about Nanling Coal Mine in your newspaper?" ”

He Jingshu said: "When our newspaper received a report from the masses yesterday morning, we immediately dispatched a three-person interview team, including the driver, for a total of four people. When you called yesterday, it was me who answered the phone, and at that time, Xiaoling and the others had already arrived at the place of the incident. ”

Li Yi said: "Reporter He, Xiaoling, did they send back relevant news?" ”

He Jingshu was about to say when the male reporter sitting in the front row coughed lightly and interjected: "I'm sorry, this is a secret of our newspaper, please forgive me for not divulging."

Li Yi frowned, thinking that this person was really very annoying

He Jingshu smiled: "Song Yufei, you are too careful Li Yi is Xiaoling's friend, and he is not in our business, these things have commercial value for our peers, and for him, it is just news about his girlfriend."

Song Yufei said: "This is a commercial secret, and the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee has not yet characterized this matter, whether it is allowed or not, and no instructions have been issued for any of the laws. ”

He Jingshu said: "If something happens, I will be responsible, and I can't blame you on the head of the reporter Song University." Li Yi, according to the actual situation initially learned by the interview team, the death toll is definitely more than a dozen people, and the miners trapped underground are far more than 30 people."

Song Yufei sighed, and when he saw that He Jingshu had already spoken, he had to sigh.

Li Yi frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any more detailed data?" ”

He Jingshu stretched out his hand and took off the hat on his head, revealing a black green silk, and said softly: "According to Xiaoling's interview, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-eight miners who went down the mine that day, and so far, none of them have come out alive. ”

The green tendons on Li Yi's forehead jumped up suddenly, and an indescribable anger seemed to be about to burst open his chest

There was a moment of silence in the car.

Song Yufei said: "You just know, don't tell outsiders about this matter." Guo Xiaoling and the others were killed, and the officials involved in this matter must like to report good news rather than bad news, and even if they can't hide it, they will try their best to report the number of casualties to the minimum. Before the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee gave clear instructions, if these news were to be disseminated, the consequences would be quite serious. ”

Li Yi frowned and said, "You just said that Guo Xiaoling and they were killed?" Do you know they were killed? ”

Song Yufei said: "When I say killing, I don't mean the death of living beings, but the threat that they encounter that may harm them. ”

Li Yi snorted heavily, thinking to himself that these reporters are so chaotic in their use of language, what good report can they write?

Suddenly, a soft little hand clenched Li Yi's big hand, and He Jingshu smiled: "Don't worry too much, Xiaoling, they are reporters after all, and the government will at most detain them and prevent them from sending news out of order." There will be no danger to life. This kind of thing is often encountered by our front-line reporters. ”

Li Yi glanced at her gratefully and said, "The question is, they sent a message to report to the agency yesterday, but they were only arrested tonight, did they find any very useful clues?" Or have you unearthed information that is even more unfavorable to the government? ”

He Jingshu said: "Your analysis is correct, Xiao Ling, they must have encountered something big that touched the central nervous system of some big officials, which caused an unwarranted disaster." ”

Li Yi said: "That's what I'm worried about, if someone jumps off the wall in a hurry, it's hard to guarantee that they won't kill people." ”

He Jingshu said: "The biggest possibility is that Xiaoling and they found news clues that can take off the hats of these officials." However, if they take the risk of killing reporters, then they should understand that once the matter is revealed, the end will be worse than taking off their official hats, and that is the sin of killing people to pay for their lives, and they will not take it lightly. You can rest assured. ”

In fact, Li Yi didn't think of this, but he was just concerned about it, and his brain was not so smart. He also asked to hear the opinions of others and seek spiritual comfort.

The wind and clouds suddenly changed, the wind blew, the sand flew away, and a few drops of rain dripped on the car window, followed by more and more, like fried beans, crackling, splashing one after another, and the window glass was misty.

Qian Duo turned on the wipers, and the two wipers went back and forth on the front window glass several times, giving the people in the car a clean vision.

It was dark outside, as if God had accidentally knocked over the ink and stained the world black.

Li Yi naturally pulled out his hand, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Liancheng and Xizhou are two cities next to each other, and there are many boundaries between the two cities.

The boundaries are just labels and lines on the map, and in real life, there is no such obvious dividing line. Nor will there be a stone monument between the two cities to show the sovereignty of the land, as is the case on the national border.

In fact, residents living on the border between the two cities do not have a strict sense of the geographical concept, and if it were not for the permanent residence address on the household registration book and ID card indicating whether you are from Xizhou or Liancheng, they would not know which side they are from.

Liancheng, Li Yi is still the first time to come, the industrial development here is similar to Xizhou, it is literally written that the industrial foundation is good, but in fact the bones are very weak. The agriculture and animal husbandry here are not even as good as those in Xizhou City.

However, Wang Gaoyang, secretary of the municipal party committee, attaches great importance to infrastructure construction, and he has identified a road, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Therefore, in his tenure, he almost only did one thing, and that was to build roads

Entering the territory of Liancheng, you can obviously feel that the car is much more stable, and the road conditions are better than those near the provincial capital.

He Jingshu answered the phone and said: "The provincial party committee has gone down to many leaders, and it seems that this matter is already paper-tight."

Li Yi said: "Secretary Wen, they set off about half an hour before us. This should be almost the time. ”

He Jingshu was surprised: "You already knew that the provincial party committee was going to people? ”

Li Yi said: "Oh, I also learned about it by accident. ”

He Jingshu obviously didn't believe it, she was a reporter, and the newspaper was now paying full attention to this matter, and she had just gotten the news, why did Li Yi already know that the provincial party committee was going down? And surely Secretary Wen is also among them?

The reporter's keen sense told her that Li Yi was by no means as ordinary as he seemed on the surface.

She is very good at chatting, compared with Guo Xiaoling's reserve, she is more cheerful and generous, and is more suitable for the profession of journalist.

Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask directly, but said: "Li Yi, I heard Xiaoling say that you are working in Linyi County now, did you come to the provincial capital to see Xiaoling today?" ”

"Well, not exactly." Li Yi said with a smile: "The county came to the provincial capital to run the project, so I pretended to be public and private, and came to see Xiaoling, who knows if I didn't meet it." ”

He Jingshu said: "Oh, then did you stay in the hotel with your colleagues last night?" ”

Li Yi said: "No. He added, "I live at a friend's house." ”

He Jingshu smiled: "I recently moved out of the dormitory, and the rented house is next door to the little nest of love between you and Xiaoling. I thought you would come back last night, I knocked on your door a few times, and who knows I didn't see you. ”

Li Yi thought to himself that this reporter was too good at tricks, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the trap she designed haode. Fortunately, I didn't say anything just now.

Qian Duo drove fast and steadily, and with the reporter's guidance, he didn't delay time, and left the newspaper reporter's car far behind.

Entering the territory of Fangnan County, the wind was stronger, and it was pouring rain. The car was forced to slow down, and only then did the newspaper press car catch up.

Suddenly, a long line of cars appeared in front of them, parked in the middle of the road like a long line.

Song Yufei raised his eyes and said, "It's a hell of a traffic jam in this ghost place, and you can still get stuck in a traffic jam."

Li Yi thought to himself, now the number of private cars is very small, and even the streets and alleys of the provincial capital are rarely jammed, how can there be traffic jams in the suburbs of such a small county?

Qian Duo stopped the car and glanced back at Li Yi.

Li Yi said: "Qian Duo, you go and see what's going on"

Qian Duo answered, picked up a standing umbrella from the driver's seat, opened the door and got out of the car, stretched out the umbrella, and walked forward.

Ten minutes later, Qian Duo came back and said: "There is a coal truck in front of me that overturned in the middle of the road, blocking the road, and the traffic police are dealing with it." ”

He paused and said, "The convoy of the provincial party committee is blocked in front. ”

Li Yi snorted, thinking that there is such a coincidence in the world, even the provincial party committee convoy was blocked here and was not allowed to pass. The provincial party committee convoy set off half an hour earlier than itself, which means that the road has been blocked for at least half an hour

Qian Duo seemed to see Li Yi's question, and said: "All the manpower and material resources in Fangnan County have been invested in the rescue of Nanling Coal Mine, and the government is mobilizing relevant departments in Liancheng City to dredge it. ”

He Jingshu's eyes lit up, and the reporter's sensitivity came, and said, "Borrow me an umbrella and I'll go for an interview." This is a good report Song Yufei, are you going? ”

Song Yufei said: "It's raining so hard, what are you interviewing?" Besides, the leaders of the provincial party committee are all blocked in front, and if you rush to disturb, you will be held accountable. ”

He Jingshu said: "You are a natural ghost who is afraid of death and a lazy ghost, you don't go to me."

Li Yi also happened to want to go to see the situation, so he said, "I'll accompany you." He took the umbrella from Qian Duo, got out of the car with He Jingshu, and the two of them were close together, hiding under the umbrella and walking forward.

He Jingshu adjusted the opportunity and said: "Li Yi, my intuition has always been very smart, I think this car accident is not simple. ”

Li Yi said: "You mean to say that this car accident was man-made? The purpose is to slow down the provincial party committee convoy? ”

He Jingshu raised the camera, compared it to the front, and said, "Yes." This shows that the current Nanling Coal Mine must have secrets that no one wants to know."
