Seeing that the road ahead was jammed with traffic, Kang Shumao in the jeep looked at his watch impatiently.
He was rushing to attend a meeting at the provincial agricultural department, but unexpectedly he was stuck at an intersection a hundred meters away from his destination.
Kang Shumao glanced at his watch, then at the crowded street not far away, and immediately asked his secretary to get out of the car and prepare to walk around.
As he passed by the outskirts of the crowd, Kang Shumao vaguely heard a few shouts.
Shouts like "I don't believe it" and "He must be shot".
He shook his head and walked quickly with his secretary to the meeting place not far away.
After the meeting at noon, Kang Shumao did not eat in the cafeteria but prepared to go to the next meeting place.
At this time, the crowd at the intersection had dispersed, and the jeep was waiting at the entrance of the venue.
Kang Shumao closed his eyes to rest, while his secretary and the driver curiously talked about what had just happened.
The driver was chatting quietly with the secretary while driving.
"They're family members from the next county over. They said they had a conflict with the brigade leader's family."
"I heard that there seems to be a loss of life involved..."
"I've been listening for a long time, and it's strange to say, these two families were originally relatives."
The place where people were watching just now was a hall in Harbin.
The four people who attracted the onlookers were all from Xixianghong Commune.
Bahezi Brigade (Village).
The family's surname was Cao, and they were close relatives of the captain's family, the Tang family, whom they wanted to sue.
As the driver spoke eloquently, a bizarre case came to the ears of the secretary and Kang Shumao.
Cao Ermei, the daughter of the Cao family, married Tang Youfen, the eldest son of the Tang family who had just returned from the army, when she was eighteen years old.
Although the two were eight years apart in age, Tang Youfen worked at the commune flour mill and was a team leader and activist in the factory. The couple seemed to be living a good life.
The Tang family and the Cao family usually have a very close relationship.
But just two years ago, when Tang Youfen returned home, he found that Cao Ermei had disappeared. He searched the whole village but couldn't find her.
Soon, both families went out to search the surrounding area, but they couldn't find even a hair of Cao Ermei.
But what was even more unfortunate was that Tang Youfen had an argument with Cao Ermei when he went out that morning, so the Cao family, not knowing who started the conversation, began to suspect their son-in-law.
The levels and backgrounds of case handlers these days vary widely, and truly experienced people are very rare. Many people handle cases based on their own subjective judgment.
This is the case of Cao Ermei’s disappearance.
Tang Youfen was locked up, although he never admitted that he did it.
If his old unit hadn't kept sending letters insisting on the matter, the case might have been "settled".
"The Cao family and the Tang family have completely fallen out. Tang Youfen has been imprisoned for almost two years, and there has been no explanation."
"The Cao family insisted that the Tang family had connections at the commune and the county level."
"They forced Tang Youfen to be shot."
"I just heard from a passerby that this incident happened in Jixi as well. The county even organized people to search the entire area, but they found nothing."
The secretary shook his head.
"It's no use making a scene here. I guess they'll just send the case back to the county or commune to try to solve it."
"And it's been almost two years. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I guess this case is still cold."
——To the Red Commune?
Kang Shumao, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.
——It seems to be to the north of Hong Commune, right next to the Hudong Wetland...
A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Kang Shumao's mind, and the slightly serious expression on his face couldn't help but become much softer.
If he remembered correctly, it was the busy season of spring plowing, and conflicts often arose between production teams over trivial matters such as water sources, queues for farming machinery, seed selection, and production materials.
Especially those production teams that usually disliked each other kept the public security commissioners and public security agencies in various places very busy.
If this case is sent back to the county at this time, and if the deadline is still set for solving the case, it is estimated that there will not be many people to take over temporarily.
Moreover, the family members seem to have said that they do not trust the public security agencies of their own commune and county...
Then according to the general handling method, this case will most likely be handled by the public security commissioner of the nearby commune.
Of course, this approach is also intended to delay the situation for a while so that the county's security agencies can catch their breath.
Kang Shumao remembered that Zhang Hongcheng’s Hongqi Wetland Farm had no production tasks this year, so he, as the farm director, should be very idle.
He also remembered that Zhang Hongcheng's file recorded that this guy had worked as a public security commissioner for a few months.
The county's public security agency was very humane and gave it an "excellent" rating.
"excellent?"
"Hahaha, okay."
The secretary noticed that Kang Shumao seemed to be in a good mood today.
There were actually several times in a day when I had a faint smile on my face.
Zhang Hongcheng, who was preparing for his wedding, looked at the notice in front of him in confusion, and slowly calmed down from the joy and excitement of getting married.
The public security commissioner of the neighboring Xianghong Commune was transferred, and the new public security commissioner would not be in place until after the spring busy season, so the superiors temporarily appointed me to serve as the public security commissioner of the Xianghong Commune in the south in name only.
Zhang Hongcheng thought about it carefully.
This kind of official document that temporarily assigns the leaders of nearby communes and farms to a position next door is not uncommon in this era. The main purpose of doing so is to maintain the integrity of the personnel structure during team meetings.
