Chapter 35 The driver of the accident has returned to his hometown
At kilometer 50-51 of the Ningshui Highway. Su Le and Zhang Pengfei parked their cars on the roadside and stood on the county-level highway that used to lead from Ningshan Town to Shuicheng Town. The road surface was just as Zhang Jingyi described, it had just been renovated.
Soon, the color of the asphalt still showed a clean and beautiful black luster, unlike the old asphalt road surface that was white and gray.
The road section where the accident occurred has been washed clean, and no obvious traces of the accident can be found. There are only a few shallow small grooves in the middle of the road to the right, like the scratches left on the road after an Audi car was squeezed by a collision.
mark.
The two of them walked along the highway from Ningshan to Shuicheng. This section of the road clearly showed an uphill and left-turn trend. If a car came from the direction of Ningshan, it would be easy to cross the line.
.If a car comes down from the direction of Shuicheng and cannot control the speed well, it is easy to cross the middle line of the road.
The two of them walked a few hundred meters further along the road and saw a construction site in the distance on the left side of the road. The archway of the construction site read "Jiangbei Construction and Installation Company Zhongjiang City Beautiful Rural Cultural Tourism Project Site". The gate.
Tall signs stood on both sides, with project design drawings and project construction-related information on them. There was an old man guarding the door, and Su Le and Zhang Pengfei stepped forward.
"Uncle, where is the person in charge of this construction site?" Su Le asked.
When the old man saw that two policemen were coming, he quickly pointed to a two-story temporary building not far away and said:
"The leaders are all there, and the project manager is on the second floor."
"Thank you, uncle." Su Le thanked him, and when he passed by the old uncle, he casually asked:
"Have you not seen any truck pulling earth in the past two days?"
"It's over. I finished it last week."
"Have you heard about the car accident?" Su Le asked.
"I've heard that it's miserable. The trucks pulling dirt are working day and night, and they're driving so fast. It's no wonder nothing happens." The old man at the gate sighed and said.
The project manager, whose surname was Liu, seemed a little nervous when the police came to the door. He quickly took out cigarettes for Su Le and Zhang Pengfei to smoke. When Su Le refused, he offered them mineral water.
"I wonder what you two police officers are doing?" Manager Liu smiled so big that his mouth reached to his ears.
"We are from the city's traffic police detachment. We are here to learn about the car accident a few days ago." Su Le did not say that he was a criminal police officer.
"Oh, you guys came to learn about the car accident a few days ago." Manager Liu looked relieved.
"Yes, is that garbage truck from your construction site?" Su Le asked knowingly.
"No, no, no, that car is not ours. We outsource the waste transportation business." Manager Liu quickly denied.
"Then tell us about outsourcing."
"Well, the total earthwork excavation volume of our project is 20,000 cubic meters. Before the start of construction, this business was outsourced to Zhongjiang Chungui Waste Transportation Company. From excavation to transportation to earthwork processing, everything was done by Chungui.
Your company is responsible. So the car accident has nothing to do with us." Manager Liu explained the business relationship to Su Le in detail.
"How did you agree on the construction period?" Su Le asked.
"The construction period was stipulated based on the construction progress. After receiving our notice, they organized the construction within three days, and the daily earth excavation volume was no less than 1,000 cubic meters."
"Has all the earthwork been completed?"
"Not yet. A total of three earthworks have been dug since the project started. Due to the arrangement of the construction plan, there are still 3,000 cubic meters left that have not been excavated."
"How much work was involved in the construction that happened last time?"
"The last excavation was the largest, totaling 10,000 cubic meters."
"How many days did they do it?"
"Wait a moment, let me check." Manager Liu went to look at their construction logs and said to Su Le and others:
"The last time it was from June 21st to June 27th, the construction period was 8 days in total."
"How many cars and drivers do they have?"
"Oh, I'm not sure about this. There are 2 excavators on site, and I think there are about 6-7 transport vehicles, otherwise it would be impossible to keep up with the progress. I really can't tell you how many drivers there are."
“When is the next excavation scheduled?”
"The next time is expected to be one month later. We are mainly storing materials in the area that needs to be excavated. We will not excavate until the materials are used up."
"Okay, nothing happened, we just came to understand the situation." Su Le and the others stood up to say goodbye and left the construction site.
Su Le and Zhang Pengfei looked for the registered address of Chungui Waste Transportation Company in Zhongjiang City and found that this was actually the location of a subdistrict office. After they went in and asked, they found out that when a transportation company like Chungui was registered,
Often they don’t have an office location because they belong to enterprises in the subdistrict jurisdiction, so they write the company address as the address of the subdistrict office.
They originally wanted to go to Chungui Company to conduct a secret investigation, but now they had no choice but to call Geng Xiangyu, the person in charge of Chungui Company.
"Hello, who are you?" The voice coming from the phone was loud and rude.
"I am Su Le from the city traffic police detachment. Are you Geng Xiangyu from Chungui Waste Transportation Company?"
"Yeah, what do you want from me?"
"We are investigating the June 24 Ningshui Highway car accident and would like to take a look at your company and ask you for some information."
"Hasn't that matter been dealt with, why are we still investigating?" Geng Xiangyu looked a little impatient.
"There are still some details that need to be verified. Please cooperate." Su Le did not want to tell the manager too much information before meeting him.
"Oh, I'm not free now, I'm busy!" Geng Xiangyu obviously didn't want to cooperate.
"If you are not free now, then we can only ask you to come to the team and explain the matter clearly." Su Le knew how to deal with such people.
"Hey, no, no, no, no, I don't want to go to your place." Geng Xiangyu immediately changed his words.
"First tell me your company address, and we will go to your company to meet." Su Le said.
"Okay, okay, I'll rush over right away." Geng Xiangyu gave Su Le the company address.
Chungui Waste Materials Company is located on the roadside of Zhongjiang Outer Ring Road. It has an iron gate with a simple layer of cement on the door stacks. There is an arc-shaped lintel above the gate, with four painted red paints on it.
The big characters are: Chungui slag. There is a row of five wooden houses facing the courtyard gate. The ground of the courtyard is not hardened, but is paved with ash to prevent mud.
When Su Le and the others arrived, manager Geng Xiangyu was already waiting in the yard. A dusty black Toyota parked carelessly at the door of the cabin. A man with short hair, a fat face and a big belly stood in front of the house.
In front of the car.
"Oh, I didn't expect Officer Su to be so young." Geng Xiangyu walked over with a smile and stretched out his fat hand.
Su Le and Zhang Pengfei did not take his fat hand, but walked directly towards an excavator and three garbage trucks parked in the yard. Geng Xiangyu quickly followed behind. They saw that there was no one among the three garbage trucks.
After the car that caused the accident, Su Le asked Geng Xiangyu:
"How many cars do you have in total?"
"That's all, they're all here. There's been no work lately, so they're all parked here."
"The vehicle involved in the accident was not yours?"
"Oh, you mean that car. That car belongs to the driver Zhu Jun." Geng Xiangyu replied, his fat body was sweating all over after standing in the sun for a long time.
"What's going on?" Su Le asked.
"Two police officers, this car is nothing to look at. Let's go sit inside for a while and cool down before we talk."
The air conditioner is on in the boardroom. Although the sealing performance of the boardroom is not very good, it is much cooler than outside. There is a boss's desk inside, and the tabletop is covered with dust. There are many empty wine bottles in the corners of the room.
There was also a sour smell of wine, as if someone had spit in the room. Opposite the door was a set of three-piece Federal chairs. There was a tea set on the coffee table in the middle of the Federal chairs.
The chairs and coffee table look fairly clean.
After Su Le and others sat down, Geng Xiangyu was busy making tea, but Su Le stopped him.
"Let's talk about the car first."
"Our slag company doesn't have work every day. But as long as there is work, it's urgent work, and those project managers are working hard all day long. So we don't have many cars of our own, so we just need to be able to handle some small daily tasks.
When I encounter a big job, I always look for a car outside." Geng Xiangyu explained, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"You said the car that caused the accident belonged to Zhu Jun himself?"
"Yes. There are two situations when we are looking for a car. One is a car from another company, and the other is the driver's own car. Zhu Jun bought his own car and affiliated it with our company. If there is work for our company, he will do it. If there is no work for our company, he will do it.
Just go out and look for work." Although Su Le objected, Geng Xiangyu still poured tea while talking.
Seeing Geng Xiangyu's skillful tea-making movements, Su Le originally wanted to ask the company boss to find out more about the situation, but he didn't expect that the vehicle involved in the accident did not belong to Chungui Company. He frowned and continued to ask:
"Are you familiar with Zhu Jun?"
"We are familiar. We have been working together for more than two years. We have always been very happy and nothing has happened. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen this time. Please have tea." Geng Xiangyu finished washing the teacups and poured two cups of hot tea.
In front of Su Le and Zhang Pengfei.
"Then is your company responsible for the compensation for this accident or is he personally responsible?"
"With insurance, I don't have to pay any money, it's just a delay in work." Geng Xiangyu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Where is that car now?"
"The car is probably still in the auto repair shop. The damage to the car is quite serious and it won't be repaired for a while. Besides, we still need to go through the insurance procedures."
"Do you know that garage?"
"I really don't know this. I have to ask Zhu Jun."
"Have you seen Zhu Jun recently?"
"No, I didn't contact him again after handling the incident."
"Then you call Zhu Jun now and ask where he is and where his car is. Make up a reason and don't say we have looked for you." Su Le said.
"Okay, I'll call now." Geng Xiangyu picked up the mobile phone placed on the coffee table, dialed Zhu Jun's number, and turned on the hands-free button.
"Brother Geng." A hoarse voice came from the phone.
"Xiaojun, has your car been repaired?"
"No, Brother Geng."
"Where was the car repaired? It's so slow."
"It's Lao Wang's Hongda Auto Repair."
"Oh, where are you now?"
"If I don't have any work to do, I'll go back to my hometown first."
At this time, Zhang Pengfei quickly wrote a few words in the notebook and handed it to Geng Xiangyu.
"Oh, where is your hometown?"
"I'm from Jiangbei and Shangdong, Brother Geng."
Zhang Pengfei wrote a few more words in the notebook.
"Then when will you come back?"
"Look, not necessarily."
"After the car is repaired, hurry back. I have a lot of work here, and I'm waiting for you to come back."
"Okay, Brother Geng, let's talk about it later."
Su Le nodded to Geng Xiangyu, indicating that it was over. So Geng Xiangyu said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Su Lekan was unable to find Zhu Jun for the time being, so he could only continue to learn about the situation from Geng Xiangyu.
"Zhu Jun said that he worked continuously for more than 15 hours that day. Is that true?"
"Yes, Officer Su, you don't know something. Our work usually lasts for fifteen or six hours in a row. There is no other way. The only way we can make more money is by working more."
"Are there any breaks at work?"
"Unless the excavator stops for a meal, everyone rests for half an hour. For the transportation distance on the day of the accident, we had three vehicles with one excavator. Except when loading, we basically had no time to rest."
"Okay, let's stop talking today. If I think of anything in the future, I'll call you."
"Okay, okay, if you need anything, just call." Geng Xiangyu kept smiling as he sent Su Le and the others out the door.
