"Director Sun, the person who was beaten was an ordinary clerk in the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, and the one who beat him was an educated youth who had returned to the city to visit relatives. They both had no social status or background.

It’s just that the reporter mentioned one person, and I feel it’s a bit tricky.”

"who?"

Sun Peng looked up at Liu Pengju.

"The person who reported the case said his name was Lin Xiao, and he was a young military officer."

Liu Pengju made a truthful report.

"Lin Xiao? Could it be Lin Xiao? What does he have to do with this?"

Sun Peng's heart skipped a beat.

Commander Lin's son is named Lin Xiao. He knew this, but he had been retired for several years and didn't know if there were any young officers named Lin Xiao in the military region now.

"That's what I'm afraid of. According to the person who reported the case, Yang Baiyi and the officer named Lin Xiao were together, but fortunately, Lin Xiao didn't do anything."

There was no such thing as civil service exams in that era, and the people working in the Public Security Bureau were all retired from the army.

In other words, Sun Peng and Liu Pengju are both Lin Tieshan's old subordinates.

"Captain Liu, please let the reporter go back first. I'm going to the military district."

Since it concerned Lin Xiao's future, Sun Peng was very cautious and did not call to communicate.

The call also had to be transferred through the switchboard. Because of enemy spies, all telephone switchboards needed to be monitored.

The old leader's son had just returned from border duty and was at the rising stage of his career. As long as he graduated from the Party School, he would be able to move to the next level.

If Lin Xiao is related to this beating incident and is overheard by the switchboard, then it will not be helping the old leader solve his problem, but will cause trouble for him.

"Okay, I'll send the reporter back first and wait for your news."

Liu Pengju took the transcript back to the Public Security Brigade, and Sun Peng picked up his coat and hurried out of the office.

"Platoon Leader Su, is the commander home?"

The police station's jeep drove directly to the Lin family's door.

"It's Director Sun. The commander just came back from the military headquarters. Please go in directly."

Su Changyou said familiarly.

"Okay, let's talk later."

Because he had important business to attend to, Sun Peng did not have time to greet Su Changyou and hurried into the Lin family.

"Old Chief."

As soon as he entered the door, Sun Peng saluted Lin Tieshan who was sitting on the sofa.

"Sun Peng! You don't have to be so serious at home. How come you have time to come and see me today?"

Lin Tieshan was also a little surprised by the sudden arrival of his old subordinate.

"Old Chief, it's like this, the branch received a report today.

What happened was that an educated youth who returned to the city to visit his relatives injured an officer from the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, and the officer with him might be your son Lin Xiao.

I'm worried that this will affect Lin Xiao's future, so I came here to report this to you."

Sun Peng looked at the people sitting nearby and basically concluded that it was Lin Xiao who was there, and that the one who beat him was a young man who looked harmless.

Because the characteristics were so obvious, the person who reported the case said that the attacker had a younger sister who was seven or eight years old.

Now Yang Xiaoxiao was reading a picture book with great interest on the sofa. Everything was right.

"Lin Xiao, Xiao Yang, what's going on here? Did you have a conflict with anyone yesterday? Were we right or wrong?"

Sun Peng has been his subordinate for many years and can be considered one of his own, so Lin Tieshan did not avoid him and directly asked about what happened to Lin Xiao and Yang Baiyi yesterday.

"Uncle Lin, I was the one who beat him up, so let me tell you." Yang Baiyi took over the conversation directly.

“In fact, Li Feng and I are not enemies, but relatives. He is my only uncle.

Just like when I wrote the letter, I should have mentioned my family background. My parents are both gone due to an accident at the steel mill.

And the relationship between me and my so-called relatives also broke down from that time.

My parents had just passed away, and their heroic spirits were still there, but my grandparents, along with my uncles and aunts, came to my house and asked me to give up my house and my job. They even thought about how to distribute the pension that had not yet arrived.

I have never been the type to submit to others, so naturally I would not agree to their unreasonable requests. Seeing that the differences were so huge, conflicts naturally arose.

I know that as long as I stay in Luoshui City, they will force me endlessly.

I'm not afraid of them, but my sister is still young. If they continue to make trouble like this, it will be extremely detrimental to her growth.

I had no choice but to sell my property and move away, so I signed up to go to the countryside.

I had originally planned to keep my distance from them and never have anything to do with them again, but who would have thought that when I came back this time and went to the White Horse Temple, I would meet Li Feng again.

Originally, I didn't intend to have a conflict with him and wanted to turn around and leave, but he was relentless and held me back, refusing to let me go. He even said hurtful words to me, saying that I had a mother but no father to teach me.

Of course, I didn't indulge him and just slapped him. This matter had nothing to do with Brother Lin Xiao from beginning to end. It was a conflict between him and me.

My former neighbors can testify to how the conflict between them and I arose and what kind of trouble they caused when they went to my house. You just need to investigate.

I can accept any final verdict, but I hope you won't involve Brother Lin Xiao. He has nothing to do with this matter."

Lin Xiao's voice was calm, and there was no extra expression on his face. The old Yang family was originally relatives of the original owner, and had nothing to do with the current Yang Bai.

"Bai Yi, I didn't expect that you and Xiao Xiao had suffered so much injustice in the past."

Lin Wanru's eyes were filled with tears and she felt heartbroken.

"Director Sun, Xiao Yang's relatives are bullying a pair of orphans in this way, which seriously violates public order and good customs. I don't think they are advanced in their work and life.

As law enforcement officers, your public security department needs to investigate their performance in work and life.

See if there are any violations of regulations or laws, or if there are any problems with their thinking."

Lin Tieshan's casual words basically determined the fate of the Yang and Li families.

"Don't worry, Chief. We won't wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. I'll start investigating them when I get back."

Sun Peng jumped up from the sofa and saluted with a standard military salute.

The old leader even called Director Sun, and even a fool could tell how angry he was.

"Director Sun, since they've already reported the case, does my son-in-law need to go back with you to cooperate with the investigation?"

Lin Tieshan directly pointed out the relationship between Yang Baiyi and him, which meant he wanted to stand up for his son-in-law.

"No, absolutely not. Comrade Liang Baiyi has already explained everything you need to know.

Next, we'll visit and find Comrade Yang Baiyi's former neighbors, collect their testimonies, and this case will basically be closed."

Are you kidding? First of all, let's not talk about the fact that Yang Baiyi wasn't to blame in the first place. Even if Yang Baiyi was at fault, wasn't it just a slap on Li Yangfeng's face? How big of a problem could that be?

"That's good. Go get busy. When you're free, come to my house for dinner with Peng Yan."

Sun Peng came and left in a hurry and drove back to the Old City Branch.
