As Longxi Province specifically convened a news conference to report the cause of the accident investigation of Li Hongyi and disclosed the only survivor's oral report, and more importantly, released the case details of the Lingxiao Coal Mine, the domestic media unanimously turned their focus on Lingxiao Coal Mine. There was no need for speculation. Linking the events together, everyone could see that Li Hongyi encountered something unexpected during the inspection of Lingxiao Coal Mine and had demanded a thorough investigation. At this point, to prevent the disclosure of certain matters, the owner of Lingxiao Coal Mine engineered this traffic accident with the aim of silencing by killing.
The whole incident was escalating outside. Meanwhile, the report from the Longxi Provincial Committee was presented to the State Council after being signed by Nie Zhenbang.
