Strictly speaking, Xie Yuqiang is not a prisoner. At the briefing meeting held yesterday, the experts have sworn that the prodigy milk is qualified and hygienic. He has not violated any laws and regulations, let alone
He can't be arrested for committing a crime in person, no matter from which point of view.
But he was the one who caused this disaster. If Assistant Zhou hadn't acted in a hurry, the policemen might have been buried with him. So if Zhou Wen said to handcuff Xie Yuqiang now, no one would object.
But Zhou Wen's drunkenness has passed. The thunder and heavy rain have made his thinking extremely clear. The emergency has passed. Every move he makes below must be legal and reasonable so that others cannot catch him.
He threw away the cigarette butt and stood up, looked around and said: "Comrades have worked hard for what happened tonight, and I would like to trouble you again. Xie Yuqiang has not been formally arrested, so we have no right to detain him, but for his personal safety and
Following further judicial investigation, I recommend that he be protected."
"I agree." Sun Jihai raised his hand and added: "This matter is too big and a group of people must be dealt with. Assistant Zhou is right. Xie Yuqiang is a key figure in the case. He must not go home at this time.
.”
"The Procuratorate has not approved the arrest, and it is not convenient for us to lock him up in the Public Security Bureau. I think we will temporarily keep him in the county government duty room," Zhou Wen said.
This suggestion was immediately unanimously approved by everyone. The half-dead Xie Yuqiang was carried into the car and drove to the county government. At this time, it was raining heavily outside. In just ten seconds, his whole body was drenched.
But everyone was enthusiastic, and for quelling such a mass incident, they must be praised by the county leaders.
When he came to the county government, he locked Xie Yuqiang in the duty room and arranged for two young men to watch him. Zhou Wen dragged his tired body back to his office. Only then did he remember to take out his mobile phone to check. The screen showed that there were more than eighty people.
The missed calls were all from home. He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. What he did just now was very European and American, very cinematic. He who never actively expresses his feelings said such words to his wife, so he would not scare her so much that she could not sleep.
That's weird.
After calling home and comforting Liu Xiaojing with kind words, without even mentioning the mass incident, he just said that he drank two glasses of wine and missed home. After comforting the family, Zhou Wen sat on a chair and looked at the pouring rain outside the window.
I can't help but feel my heart surge...
The next morning, there was a knock on Assistant Zhou's office door. Zhou Wen, who was lying on a chair and sleeping in his clothes, jumped up. He thought there was another group incident, but when he saw that the heavy rain continued outside the window, he suddenly jumped up.
Knowing it was something else, I opened the door and saw a few men standing outside wearing raincoats and dripping water. They said in an anxious tone: "Assistant Zhou, something happened!"
Zhou Wen was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."
"Assistant Zhou, I am Ma Dafu, the mayor of Dawang Township. Last night's heavy rain destroyed hundreds of houses in our township, leaving hundreds of villagers homeless. Electric poles were also broken. The Dawang River may burst its banks at any time! The mobile phone signal is also blocked.
The connection is blocked, I risked my life to drive here, please support us from the county!"
Zhou Wen subconsciously glanced at County Magistrate Tang's office. The door was closed and no one had come yet. He immediately turned around and took a raincoat from the closet, and then picked up the electric horn that had done a great job last night.
Say to the visitor: "Let's go!"
When I walked to the elevator entrance, I found that the elevator button was off. The security guard holding a flashlight explained: "The high-voltage wire is broken. Now we use our own generator to provide lighting power, and the elevator cannot open."
Zhou Wen understood that this disaster was greater than expected. He took Mayor Ma and his party downstairs. Outside, there was a strong wind and rain, and it was so white that no one could be seen. The tree crowns blown by the strong wind were swaying this way and that, making a whining sound.
The van they drove had stalled, and the driver was twisting the key as hard as he could, sweating profusely, but couldn't start it.
"The county will send you a car!" Zhou Wen rushed into the car class's office despite the wind and rain, and asked the person on duty: "Do you have any high-chassis off-road vehicles at home?"
In order to frequently go to the countryside to help the poor, the county is equipped with a lot of off-road vehicles, but most of them are on business trips with County Magistrate Tang. The only one left at home is a half-old Changfeng Cheetah. Zhou Wen ignored it and said in an unquestionable tone
The key came and was handed over to Mayor Ma.
He instructed: "Chief Ma, you go back first and arrange the affected people in the township government. I will immediately send people to support you in reinforcing the river embankment. You must remember that you must guard against breaking the embankment and the embankment cannot be breached. Otherwise, the county will cost 500,000 yuan."
Everyone is finished!"
Assistant Zhou spoke sincerely, and Mayor Ma nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll go back right away! I promise to complete the task!"
The two shook hands seriously. Mayor Ma left. Zhou Wen rushed to the conference room and asked people to find all the people on duty in the county government. Today is the weekend, and there are only a few people on duty. They are still the same as last night.
The security guard who was off duty, and a few colleagues who came to pick up the day shift.
Zhou Wen took out the county government's communication phone number and called all the staff to fight the flood. At the same time, he actively contacted County Magistrate Tang and Secretary Xu. Secretary Xu, who was working in the province, finally contacted him, but he said that the highway had been closed due to heavy rain, and outside
The wind howls and there is no way to go back.
County Magistrate Tang also got in touch. It turned out that the mudslide in the mountainous area last night destroyed the only bridge. Magistrate Tang and many of his entourages who were presiding over the completion ceremony in Yezhuyu were all trapped on the other side of the mountain. The bridge could not be repaired in one day.
, they just can’t make it through the day.
"Please tell County Magistrate Tang that everything is fine at home, so that he doesn't have to worry about it." Zhou Wen told Township Magistrate Xie of Tianjie Township loudly, and then hung up the phone. The experience of successfully quelling the group incident last night stimulated Zhou Wen's hidden feelings deep in his heart.
Desire for power, this rainstorm simply fell for him. The secretary could not come back from the provincial capital, the county magistrate was trapped in the mountains, and there were only a bunch of headless deputy magistrates and deputy secretaries left in the county.
It would be more difficult to unite these guys who are accustomed to fighting each other than to move the Himalayas. This is when I stand out.
But if you want to command these intricately connected households, you need Shang Fang's sword. He asked several secretaries: "Have you reported it to the city?"
"The switch is out of order and the city's phone calls can't be reached."
"Hurry up and make urgent repairs." Zhou Wen dropped a word and went out in a hurry. At this time, a group of young cadres who hurriedly gathered in the White House Hall. Although Zhou Wen has been working in Nantai County for less than a year, basically the county party committee
He could name everyone in the county government and knew their duties. This expertise came in handy.
Young people were whispering to each other in the hall, and Zhou Wen shouted loudly from above: "Be quiet!"
Everyone looked up and saw Assistant Zhou wearing a raincoat. His hair was soaked, his trousers were dripping, and his feet were covered in mud. He looked like a classic image of a flood-fighting cadre.
Everyone stood speechless, but Zhou Wen didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point: "Our county is facing a once-in-a-century heavy rain and flood disaster. The safety of life and property of the people is at the most critical juncture. It is the responsibility of the party and league members to step forward!
"
Being able to work in the county naturally requires progress in politics. Everyone present was a member of the party and league. Everyone subconsciously took a step forward. Young people had never seen such a scene. Coupled with the strong wind and rain outside,
They all feel that their hearts are ups and downs, and their leaks are surging.
"The water in the Dawang River has reached the warning level. If the embankment breaks, half a million lives in the county will be endangered. Since Secretary Xu and County Magistrate Tang are trapped in the field by heavy rains, I announce that I will temporarily bear the responsibility of the commander-in-chief of rescue and disaster relief. Please listen.
I ordered action, something went wrong, I was carrying it alone, is there a problem?"
Originally, some people wanted to question why other county leaders were not the commander-in-chief, but when they looked around and no higher-level leaders appeared, they kept this question to themselves.
"No!" everyone shouted together.
"Everyone is divided into groups according to departments. Chief Wang, you take people to the county bus company to contact a few buses to bring all the affected people to the county government for resettlement."
"Chief Feng, go to the county radio station to issue an emergency announcement, asking residents not to panic and actively organize self-rescue."
"Chief Li, go to the county transportation company and contact the truck."
"Chief Zhao, please contact the sandbags, earthwork, and various tools."
"Chief Sun, please contact the County Armed Police Squadron. They are the only ones with an established force now. We need the support of the Armed Police Force!"
"Xiao Wang, take out all the walkie-talkies in the communication equipment room, one for each team. If the mobile phone communication is interrupted, use the walkie-talkies. Don't lose contact. Okay, everyone will split up and the rest of the people will follow
I'm leaving!"
…
In the violent wind and rain, Assistant Zhou and his team were marching hard, and suddenly Section Chief Zhao's voice came from the intercom: "Assistant Zhou, we found the shop that sells tools, but no one is there, what should we do?"
"Smash it open and take it away, IOU!" Zhou Wen shouted at the intercom. The noise of the intercom was so loud in the strong wind that it was difficult to hear. This also reminded Zhou Wen that he could not delay any longer.
"Let's go to the grain depot!" Assistant Zhou led a team of people to the grain depot despite the wind and rain, and asked the person on duty to open the warehouse.
"What do you want to do?" the attendant asked suspiciously, holding a bunch of keys.
"Sandbags are needed for disaster relief, and there is no need to wait!" Zhou Wen said, and then he began to direct people to carry bags of food.
"These are all grains!" The guard on duty hurried up to stop him.
"I'm responsible!" Zhou Wen said categorically. He took out a notebook from his pocket, scrawled a few words, tore it up for him, and then took out the official seal of the county government and slapped it on.
A few minutes later, the truck that Section Chief Li contacted arrived, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers from the Armed Police Squadron. Everyone worked together to load the food bags into the truck. Zhou Wen was holding an electric horn to coordinate the command, and his voice was hoarse.
He didn't notice a slender figure standing not far from him, with the camera in his hand still flashing red light.
After the preparations were completed, God opened his eyes and the heavy rain finally subsided a little. Zhou Wen quickly rushed to Dawang Township with a temporary convoy. Needless to say, there were difficulties and obstacles on the way. Broken trees blocked the road and the car wheels got stuck in the mud. Every time
It was Zhou Wen who personally went into battle and worked with everyone to reopen the road.
Finally arriving at the river embankment, Mayor Ma and others have led the township militia and activists to fight for an hour, but the river water is still rising. Originally, in this dangerous area, sand and gravel earthworks are prepared on the river embankment all year round.
However, due to poor management, many stones were stolen by local farmers to build houses, so there was a shortage of materials to strengthen the dam.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen brought carts of food. Seeing that the river was about to overflow, he immediately pointed to the vast fields behind the river embankment and said to the village chief: "There are fellow villagers behind us. We have no way out. Comrade, follow me!"
"I personally carried a bag of grain and rushed forward. Mayor Ma gritted his teeth and also carried a bag of grain and followed.
The masses and armed police soldiers also stepped forward enthusiastically. They first used food bags to strengthen the embankment, and then quickly mobilized sandbags and earthwork to raise the embankment inch by inch to keep out the raging floods.
The turbid river water swirled downstream, and the embankment was finally saved. Zhou Wen was exhausted, sat down on the sandbag, and took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his pocket with dirty hands.
He took out one and lit it, and as soon as he took a puff, his eyes suddenly lit up. A slender female reporter was holding a SLR camera and had just taken a close-up of herself.
Zhou Wen understood immediately and quickly pointed to the mud-covered armed police soldiers and cadres and masses nearby and said: "Don't shoot me, shoot them.
