Xu Changde said: "The nature of the matter is not serious, Qin Qing, although you do not have any responsibility in this matter, but in this case, it will be difficult for Chunyang's work to continue in the future, I thought about it, and I still plan to let you withdraw from Chunyang!" On the surface, she was concerned about Qin Qing and considered the problem from her standpoint, but in fact, she advised Qin Qing to take responsibility for the mining disaster, and at the same time, Xu Changde pointed out: "You can rest assured that the work of the Youth League Municipal Committee will not be affected." x small s said ち屋ち首ち发"

Qin Qing pursed her lips a little aggrieved, she quickly adjusted her emotions, and then said: "Secretary Xu, I don't care if I have to take responsibility, and I don't care what kind of responsibility I bear, I saw more than a hundred grief-stricken relatives of the victims at the scene, and the mine said that there were only three victims, is this matter concealed, as the leader of Chunyang County, I have been in office for one day, should I seek justice for these innocent victims?" ”

Xu Changde frowned, he understood the stubbornness in Qin Qing's bones, and he could also hear her resistance to herself in these words. Although Xu Changde is gentle on the surface, he is actually a domineering person, he doesn't like others to disobey his will, in his opinion, his decision not only protects the interests of the majority, but also curbs the development of the situation as much as possible, it should be regarded as the best solution, but Qin Qing doesn't seem to be satisfied with his approach, Xu Changde said in a low voice: "Qin Qing, you don't know about the situation in Chunyang." ”

"Secretary Xu, if I just said that if there is a phenomenon of concealing the actual situation in this mining disaster, then what is the real purpose of some people to conceal the situation, and what are they afraid of? Is it just a responsibility? ”

Xu Changde was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "The working group has gone to Chunyang, and the city will soon come up with a treatment plan, have a good rest, and don't think about other things." With that, he hung up the phone.

The seemingly calm county party committee and county government are large. After he was sure that all the thirteen miners who were killed were cremated and their families were compensated accordingly, Yang Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief, the matter should be over, most of the families of the miners who received compensation have left, and the upper echelons of Jiangcheng City have all remained silent, and the impact of the matter is the most critical step to control within the effective range, as for the accountability, it will be a matter of the future. As the county magistrate in charge of Chunyang County's work, Qin Qing undoubtedly has to bear this main responsibility.

Since the city's working group came to Chunyang tune. Check, Qin Qing is actually missing.

Now Qin Qing felt that he had been. Completely abandoned from the system, in the eyes of outsiders, all she needs to do is to take due responsibility, according to Xu Changde's hint, the responsibility for this accident will not be too great, as long as Qin Qing cooperates, it should not have any impact on her career.

It was drizzling outside the car, and the jeep was parked in the open. In the field, the wipers were not turned on, the outside world seemed hazy and mysterious, Qin Qing's gaze was also hazy, she stared at the shadowy chimney in the distance, her lips pursed tightly. She's hesitating, she's waiting. For the first time in her life, she felt such hesitation and confusion, but her stubbornness still kept her going.

Zhang Yang walked over with an umbrella deep and shallow and pulled away the jeep. The car, a damp rain rushed in, he put away the umbrella and threw it on the back seat, took the towel handed by Qin Qing and wiped his face, and said in a low voice: "Check it out, the person in charge of the stoker is an old man surnamed Zheng, and his family lives in front." ”

Qin Qing whispered, "How is the situation in the crematorium?" ”

Zhang Yang sneered: "There are security guards at several gates, and there are checks when entering and exiting. Personnel registration, crematorium martial law is the first time I have seen it. ”

Qin Qingxiu frowned slightly, and the abnormal situation in the crematorium proved that there was a problem.

Zhang Yang started the car, a dry riverbed stretched out in the distant ravine, south of the riverbed is the crematorium, in front of the crematorium area and the mourning parish area, behind the cemetery, now it is past the working time, except for the corpse room open to the public, other places have been closed, the whole crematorium seems more and more lonely and desolate. On the north bank of the riverbed, there are rows of low-rise buildings where the old Zheng Tou's family lived.

Zhang Yang and Qin Qing waited until night fell before knocking on Lao Zheng Tou's door.

Lao Zheng Tou looked at the two strangers in front of him, looking a little confused: "Who are you?" What are you looking for me for? ”

Zhang Yang said seriously: "We are from the Zhang Wulou Mine Disaster Investigation Team, and now we are here to learn something about you!" ”

Old Zheng Tou's expression suddenly became panicked, he shook his head and said, "What's the situation?" I don't know anything other than burning people, and I don't know what's going on, so you two can go!" He wanted to close the door, but the door was blocked by Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang sneered: "Old Zheng Tou, you are breaking the law if you resist the organization of the investigation, and you know the consequences of openly opposing the law of the country." This guy couldn't help but threaten Lao Zhengtou.

Lao Zheng Tou is not a timid person, in fact, there are very few people who deal with corpses all day long, he glanced at Zhang Yang with disdain and said: "Scare me, I am a flat-headed ordinary person, can you really fill me into the furnace and burn it?" ”

Qin Qing took Zhang Yang's arm, and said with a kind smile on his face: "Hello uncle, this matter is related to the compensation of the victims of the mining accident, I believe that you must have sympathy, and you don't want those workers to get the compensation they deserve, right?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou arrived at the door of the house and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything, so many people are burned every day, where can I go to distinguish clearly?" ”

Qin Qing patiently persuaded: "Uncle, I just want to ask you, how many corpses are there in total from this mining disaster?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou was silent for a moment, and then said vigorously: "Three, you are satisfied, let's go!" ”

Zhang Yang suddenly exerted his strength, Lao Zheng Tou could no longer resist the door of the house, staggered backwards, Zhang Yang rushed to the room for the first time, grabbed his collar, and yelled viciously: "I see that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, honestly, how much?" ”

Qin Qing shook his head helplessly, this guy has always had this temper.

Lao Zheng Tou was quite tough: "Don't scare me, trespassing on a private house is a crime, be careful I sue you!" ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but scold: "Why are you so hard-mouthed as a corpse burner, believe it or not, I burned you in the hearth?" His finger poked at Lao Zheng Tou's body, and Lao Zheng Tou only felt like thousands of ants crawling around on his body, and the numb and itchy feeling made him feel painful. X Xiao S said that Qin Qing had already guessed from the painful expression of the old Zheng Tou that this guy must have done something to him, and he wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, this old Zheng Tou would definitely not tell the truth if he didn't suffer a little.

Zhang Yang's method really worked, Lao Zheng Tou didn't even endure it for a minute before he began to beg for mercy, and said weakly: "Thirteen ......"

Hearing this number, Qin Qing and Zhang Yang were both taken aback, and Qin Qing exclaimed, "Thirteen? ”

Lao Zheng nodded and begged, "Let go of me, please!" ”

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Why do you say three? ”

"Someone gave me 20,000 yuan and told me to bite the bullet...... Just say three ......"

Qin Qing's heart sank suddenly, the mining accident is really not as simple as it seems on the surface, for the small county of Chunyang, the mining disaster of thirteen deaths is already an extremely serious accident, it should be said that it is not only Chunyang, such an incident is also a severe test for the political arena of Jiangcheng, she suddenly understood why Xu Changde wanted to stand up and take responsibility, from Yang Shouyi to Xu Changde, the cadres of all sizes in Jiangcheng are thinking about calming things down, they have taken into account every link, they want to cover up the whole thing.

Zhang Yang let go of Lao Zheng Tou, he was already convinced that except for the 20,000 yuan, Lao Zheng Tou didn't even know the identity of the person who gave the money.

Leaving Lao Zheng Tou's hut, Qin Qing's pretty face became more and more pale, the dark curtain behind the matter was much thicker than she imagined, if she continued to persevere, she would inevitably face an end against the entire Jiangcheng leadership.

Zhang Yang was considerate and held an umbrella for her, but half of his body was exposed, and his clothes were already wet from the rain.

A gust of cold wind blew, Qin Qing subconsciously clenched her arms, looked up to find Zhang Yang's warm gaze, she suddenly realized that if Zhang Yang was not standing by her side, maybe she would have succumbed, or maybe she had collapsed in the face of strong pressure, and at this moment she realized that Zhang Yang had become more and more important to herself.

Zhang Yang used his body to shield her from the wind and rain, if it weren't for Qin Qing's reason, he wouldn't have intervened in this matter, although Zhang Daguan had a sense of justice, but he would not show such enthusiasm for things that had little to do with him, unless he could get enough political returns, he would not take the initiative to cause trouble, but Qin Qing in front of him seemed to have become an abandoned pawn in the eyes of the Jiangcheng leadership, from her, Zhang Yang may not get any return, but Zhang Yang still inevitably had the idea of protecting her and helping her.

Back in the car, Zhang Yang took off his drenched T-shirt, picked up a dry blue T-shirt and put it on, he calmly analyzed: "Thirteen people is not a small number, before we investigated, someone had already done every step in advance, and this person has considerable influence in Chunyang." ”

It is self-evident that the person Zhang Yang is talking about is Yang Shouyi, the secretary of the county party committee, and only he has such ability.

Qin Qing knows more than Zhang Yang, Yang Shouyi is not only fully prepared in Chunyang, but Jiangcheng is also prepared in advance, whether it is the outgoing municipal party secretary Xu Changde or the mayor Li Guozheng, they have already agreed with Yang Shouyi's approach, if they want to continue to investigate and expose this matter, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the entire Jiangcheng leadership.

Although Zhang Yang has not been in the system for a long time, he is also aware of the pressure that this matter will face, and he said in a low voice: "If this matter really comes out, I am afraid that a large number of people will be unlucky." ”

Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his long black eyelashes flickered, and the rain mist on them flickered in the darkness: "Zhang Yang, what do you think?" ”

"I don't recommend that you continue to investigate, although there are many doubts in this matter, but I feel that it will be dangerous for you to investigate......" Zhang Yang paused: "Why did the families of those victims attack you?" That's because someone is instigating behind it. ”

Qin Qing shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid!" But her voice was a little pale.

Zhang Yang started the engine: "No matter what choice you make, I will support you!" ”

Qin Qing's heart felt a burst of warmth, if it wasn't for Zhang Yang, she couldn't imagine what she would be like now, when she realized that she found more and more shining points on Zhang Yang's body, she raised her vigilance again, she had never been so dependent on a man as she was now, this discovery made her feel panicked and uneasy. Although she was not afraid, her reason told herself that continuing to persist in the investigation was tantamount to facing the enemy of the leadership of the entire Jiangcheng City, should she give up like this?

The rain seemed to be heavier, the mountain road around the Red Rock Valley was very slippery, and the road was narrow and there were many curves, Zhang Yang reduced the speed to thirty, and a heavy load in front of him drove slowly and leisurely, and the big truck actually used high beams, and the strong light made Zhang Yang unable to open his eyes, and suddenly the big truck sped up and hit the jeep at high speed.

Qin Qing let out an exclamation, Zhang Yang reacted immediately, he quickly cut into reverse gear, stepped on the accelerator, the jeep retreated at full speed, his left hand controlled the steering wheel, and his right hand took Qin Qing into his arms, before the truck crashed, he twisted the steering wheel hard, stepped back from the seat, and bounced up with Qin Qing's body incredibly.

At the moment when Zhang Yang jumped up, the heavy cargo crashed into the jeep, Zhang Yang hit the roof of the jeep with his body, and carried Qin Qingyue over the heavy load, before they could stand firm on the ground, they saw the skyrocketing fire and explosion sound behind him, Qin Qing stayed there in shock, she really couldn't imagine how Zhang Yang did it.

"Wait for me!" Zhang Yang strode forward to chase after him, but he could hit the jeep with a heavy cargo and continue to drive into the distance, Zhang Yang chased two steps, and suddenly thought that it was not safe to leave Qin Qing here alone, so he had to stop.

Qin Qing bit his lip and stood there with a pale face, looking so helpless and hesitant, Zhang Yang came to her side and patted her shoulder gently, Qin Qing finally woke up from the shock: "I'm fine......"

The jeep rolled to the bottom of the slope, still burning, and there was even more burning anger in his eyes, he could conclude that it was a deliberate murder just now, and someone wanted to take advantage of the car accident to put him and Qin Qing to death.
