Rebirth: 1977

“Director Leng, this matter… This matter was only understood after I asked the person in charge of the detention center. Among those prisoners who were replaced by the execution, only five were real death row prisoners.”

Bian Kang confessed honestly with trembling hands.

At this time, what he needs to do is not to cover up, but to be sincere and honest, and think carefully about how to say it, so as to reduce and reduce the responsibility on himself!

Since the superiors have been alerted, these things can be easily investigated. Trying to conceal them is something they would do when the matter has not been exposed and the responsibilities and interests of all parties are intertwined.

"What? You deserve to die! How dare you be so audacious as to disregard human life?"

Leng Yu was completely enraged when he heard that among the 25 people executed, only five were death row prisoners.

"Damn it! Damn it! It's my fault!

But, Director Leng, I was also deceived and blinded by Wu Pingyan!

You can go and investigate. Since I became the mayor of Meihua County, I have certainly made small mistakes, but I have never made any big mistakes!"

Bian Kang was so scared that he kept defending himself.

Leng Yu: "Don't put all the blame on Wu Pingyan!"

Bian Kang: "I didn't, I just stated the facts."

Leng Yu roared in a low voice: "Where is Wu Pingyan? Why hasn't he come back yet? What did he say he went out for? I want to interrogate him personally, I want to hear how he excuses himself!"

Bian Kang fell to the ground, lowered his eyes and whispered:

"His personal secretary called him out and said he would be back soon, so I didn't stop him.

I will send someone to look for him right away, he shouldn't be far away."

Leng Yu was shocked and angry: "What? A deputy county magistrate also has a 'personal secretary'? Who gave him such treatment? Go and order them to find him back immediately. Also, send over the files of those who have been shot.

I want to take a closer look at how you can be so lawless as to do such a heinous thing!"

Bian Kang stood up, dusted himself off, straightened his clothes, wiped the tears from his face, then opened the door and walked out.

His feet were floating.

Leng Yu signaled to the people around him: "Follow him. From now on, don't let him leave our sight."

The two men responded and immediately followed him out. Bian Kang was the one instructing his secretary:

"Xiao Xu, please send someone to look for Deputy County Magistrate Wu. He has been out for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Time passed by minute by minute. At the beginning, Leng Yu asked Bian Kang some details, some of which he asked repeatedly, to see how many discrepancies there were and to find loopholes.

After an hour, people came in and out of the county party committee compound several times, but Wu Pingyan still hadn't returned. Leng Yu's face turned cold.

"Bian Kang, what happened? Where would he go? You said Wu Pingyan was called out by his personal secretary?"

What he was most worried about was whether this young deputy county chief would commit suicide out of fear of punishment!

"I don't know either. He's a young cadre who came from Beijing, so of course we should respect him.

As long as it is his request, he will try his best to meet it. His personal secretary is Cuihua... She is a young girl who takes care of Deputy County Chief Wu's daily life. "

Bian Kang answered Leng Yu's words timidly.

Leng Yu looked at Bian Kang fiercely:

"A young girl? Taking care of his daily life?"

Bian Kang's eyes were evasive: "Yes, we didn't think it through. Deputy County Chief Wu made a request, so we agreed to it."

"Oh!"

Leng Yu punched him hard: "Agree to any request? Let a young girl take care of a young man from the capital? Haha! You guys thought of it!

Isn't this encouraging him to make mistakes in his lifestyle?"

"Yes, I didn't think it through." Bian Kang lowered his head and trembled.

A chaotic sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Leng Yu stood up with a serious expression, opened the door, and stood there watching.

"Oh no, oh no, the county magistrate, County Magistrate Bian, and Deputy County Magistrate Wu have been found."

Secretary Xiao Xu hurried over and reported to Leng Yu in a low voice at the door:

"Leader, he, he, he...we found him in a bush in a valley. He is already dead."

Leng Yu looked at him in shock. All his men rushed to the door and asked in surprise:

"Who's dead?"

Bian Kang jumped up, dragged his secretary into the room, and asked with red eyes:

"Let me make it clear. It's really Wu Pingyan...who is out of breath? Did you see it clearly?"

Xiao Xu almost collapsed:

"Yes, it's true, County Magistrate. Deputy County Magistrate Wu and Cuihua both fell on the rocks in the valley. They looked like they jumped down from above. Their heads and faces were covered in blood."

"Bullshit! How is that possible? They just ran out alive and kicking, how come they are dead now?

Are both of them...really dead?"

Bian Kang asked cautiously.

Leng Yu clenched his fists. This was the situation he least wanted to see happen:

"How could he die? Where is he?"

There were crowds of people at the door of every office in the county party committee compound, whispering, but no one came out to watch the fun.

Several people came hurriedly carrying two door panels. Although the temperature was only a little over ten degrees, sweat was dripping from everyone's forehead and face.

“We carried them back.”

A middle-aged man with a dark complexion spoke in a trembling voice as he placed the door panel in the yard.

"Xiao Wu? Cuihua?"

Bian Kang stepped out of the door hesitantly, approached the door step by step, squatted down and looked at it carefully, then raised his eyes to look at Leng Yu who was following closely beside him:

“Director Leng, it really is them.

how come?

how could it be possible?

How stupid, Xiao Wu is so stupid. I am the county magistrate and I am the one who should take responsibility!

How can you be so depressed at such a young age? I told you that you made this mistake because you were young and impulsive. Although it has implicated me, I will not put the blame on you!

It's my fault. I shouldn't have said those harsh words to you, but I just said them in anger!"

Bian Kang wanted to touch the cold body with trembling hands, but he didn't dare to touch it.

He kept muttering to himself, blaming himself, and tears were falling down his cheeks. He wiped them away again and again in a panic.

Leng Yu calmed down and told the people he brought with him:

"Go, carry him inside, and check him carefully to find out how he died!"

The people on the two door panels were carried into the small conference room and placed directly on the conference table without any ceremony.

Leng Yu stood by and watched his men perform the autopsy carefully.

"Is this woman called Cuihua? She usually takes care of Wu Pingyan's daily life?"

Leng Yu asked Bian Kang in a cold tone.

"Yes, that's her."

Bian Kang replied in a low voice.

"Have they discovered that there is an improper relationship between them?"

Leng Yu asked cautiously.

Bian Kang was silent, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

"Answer my words!"

Leng Yu looked at Bian Kang with fierce eyes.

"It seems...it seems that there is, and it's not an improper relationship. The two of them seem to be in love.

But, Deputy County Chief Wu has a wife and children at home, and Cuihua doesn’t know that.”

"fart!

Is this what you call a relationship?"

Leng Yu angrily scolded Bian Kang.
