Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The next day

Hongqi Police Station

"Director, there is something I need you to decide on."

Tian Youtian handed over yesterday's inquiry record and also recounted what happened yesterday.

"Xiaotian, what do you think?"

After learning about the situation, Zhou Weihua did not make any statement.

"Captain, am I inexperienced?"

"Xiaotian, just say what you think, don't do this."

Zhou Weihua was somewhat dissatisfied with the cunning Tian Youtian.

Ever since the Li Xiangdong incident, everyone in the institute likes to speak in cryptic terms. No matter who they are talking to, they always say ambiguous things. Even the smallest matters have to be reported to the director, who then makes the final decision.

Now Zhou Weihua misses the days when Li Xiangdong was around.

"Captain, I recommend severe punishment."

Seeing the director's face change, Tian Youtian no longer hid anything.

"What's the reason?"

Zhou Weihua frowned, this matter could really be a big deal or a small one.

"Hope New Village."

Tian Youtian just said these four words.

"Tian Youtian, what do you mean? Why? If someone is involved in Hope New Village, he will be severely punished?"

Zhou Weihua was already in a bad mood, and his voice rose several degrees, so much so that everyone in the police station could hear it.

"Director, Jia Dongxu falsely accused the entire village of collective crime, speculation, and undermining the unified purchase and sale. This will cost you a lot of money."

"What's the difference between this and a deadly feud?"

"Besides, can we bypass Hope Village?"

Tian Youtian asked back.

Zhou Weihua lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs. Smoke rose and the entire director's office suddenly became quiet.

Tian Youtian didn't say anything, just sat there waiting. The director had to make the decision on this matter. Tian Youtian didn't dare to make a decision on his own. If something went wrong, he couldn't handle it, as he had elderly parents and young children to take care of.

"Xiaotian, go to Hope Village and call Liu Guozheng over. Let's discuss this in person."

Since it is difficult to make a decision, then we can invite both parties to mediate together, which is also in line with the process. By the way, we can also test Liu Guozheng's attitude.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Guozheng arrived at the Hongqi Police Station, accompanied by Li Dabao and Chen Weiguo. Chen Weiguo happened to be visiting Xiwang New Village today, so he came along.

On the way here, he learned the basic situation. Liu Guozheng really didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would come up with the method of false accusation. If it was any other village, it would be hard to say. Unfortunately, he falsely accused Xiwang New Village.

"Director Zhou, you should just file a public prosecution. People like Jia Dongxu must be resolutely punished. Don't let them have any chance of getting away with it."

Liu Guozheng directly expressed his position on behalf of Hope New Village.

"Comrade Liu Guozheng, don't you think this didn't cause anything? Besides, Jia Dongxu has also realized his mistake."

In fact, Zhou Weihua still hopes to mediate this matter as an ordinary dispute, with both parties paying compensation where due and apologizing where due, and resolving the matter quickly and concisely. In the minds of most people, this is not a big deal and there is no need to make a big deal out of it.

"Director Zhou, I cannot agree with what you said. Is Jia Dongxu simply making a false accusation? Just because we were unwilling to engage in speculation and sell our meat to them, he turned around and accused us of speculation. This is not a simple moral issue. He is a bad person at heart. He is trying to kill for money."

After listening to Liu Guozheng's words, Zhou Weihua got a headache. This had escalated to murder for money right from the start. Could he be shot directly soon?

"Comrade Guozheng, I understand your feelings. We should not think so badly of others, nor should we judge them by one blow. Besides, Jia Dongxu has elderly parents and young children to take care of. If he goes to jail, what will happen to his family?"

"Director Zhou, you only consider that Jia Dongxu has elderly parents and young children to take care of. Have you ever considered our Hope New Village?"

"Of course I considered it."

"Haha, Director Zhou, if you had thought about it, you wouldn't have said that."

Liu Guozheng sneered.

Zhou Weihua also knew what the situation was like in Hope New Village. There were more than 20 children being taken in there. If it was really as Jia Dongxu had reported, and they were convicted of speculation and all the adults were sent to prison, those children would be back on the road of wandering again.

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

"Director Zhou, you know that speculation, sabotage of unified purchase and sale, and gang crime are punishable by eating peanuts."

"For individuals, serious cases will also result in a prison sentence of up to three years, a fine and confiscation of property."

"Now is a difficult time again, and there is a high probability that he will be dealt with severely and severely. You said Jia Dongxu is not a bad person, then what is he?"

"Could it be that they are enemy spies who are here specifically to sabotage our socialist construction? If so, we need to dig deeper to see if there are more people hiding behind them. We need to dig them all out, leaving no one behind."

Tian Youtian's neck shrank as he listened nearby, and a chill ran down his spine. This was a bit cruel, and they were going to punish him to death. A false accusation was even made against an enemy spy. Fortunately, he was careful and did not act on his own.

Li Dabao and Chen Weiguo looked at each other and said, "My brother, this is too cruel."

"Liu Guozheng, aren't you just making up your mind and trying to kill everyone?"

"You said he was an enemy spy. What's the difference between you and Jia Dongxu?"

Zhou Weihua looked unhappy. According to what Liu Guozheng said, will Jia Dongxu still be okay? During the waiting time, he had received a call from the steel mill asking for mercy. The meaning was very clear. According to the ordinary mediation, the steel mill would provide a temporary worker quota. He had originally thought of doing a favor for the steel mill, but he didn't expect that they would directly provide a quota. He didn't know what kind of background Jia Dongxu had that made the steel mill willing to release a quota.

Liu Guozheng said coldly, "Director Zhou, it was Jia Dongxu who first killed them all. Besides, I had good reasons to suspect Jia Dongxu, otherwise who would go to so much trouble to frame a village for collective speculation? Think about what the country is made up of? It is made up of countless villages. What does Jia Dongxu want to do? Does he want to subvert the country by subverting villages one by one? If this isn't an enemy spy, then what is it?"

"Liu Guozheng, why are you so cruel that you have to drive someone to the brink of death?"

The fire in Zhou Weihua's heart immediately erupted.

Liu Guozheng asked back: "Humph, if he doesn't have any evil intentions, who can force him to a dead end?"

"Everyone makes mistakes, but as long as you admit your mistakes and make corrections, you are still a good comrade!"

"Besides, Jia Dongxu is a first-class fitter in the steel rolling mill. Our industrial foundation is weak now, and it is not easy to train a skilled worker. We still need to give them a chance to correct their mistakes."

I go!

Why does this recipe look so familiar?

Liu Guozheng couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Weihua was possessed by Yi Zhonghai.

"Director Zhou, are Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan high-ranking and have they made great contributions?"

"Liu Guozheng, don't make a fuss. This is different from corruption."

"No, this is a different matter. I want to tell you that if you break the law, no matter how high your position is, you can't escape the punishment of the law. Besides, since there is a law to follow and the facts of the case are clear, what else is there to discuss?"

“You..you..you..”

Zhou Weihua's hands began to tremble with anger.

"Director Zhou, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I hope that bad elements like Jia Dongxu will receive the punishment they deserve as soon as possible."

"Also, I will closely follow the progress of the case and will state my views to the judge. As for how the case will be judged, we'll leave it to the judge."

After saying that, Liu Guozheng stood up and was about to leave. At this time, Zhou Weihua didn't know what was wrong with him, and shouted: "Liu Guozheng, I'm afraid you can't leave today."
