Li Jianguo couldn't help but feel discouraged. The newly appointed county magistrate seemed young and promising, at an age where he was ambitious and enterprising.
I originally thought that he would be intolerant of any wrongdoing, and would disapprove of a scoundrel like Mo Youkun within the organization, and would readily agree to support my actions.
Unexpectedly, his words were so impeccable, displaying the complete demeanor of a veteran cadre. If Li Jianguo didn't know better, he would have thought he was listening to two senior leaders from the bureau.
It's hard to believe that someone in their thirties said those words.
Therefore, after Li Jianguo left, I was somewhat disheartened and felt that I had to find another way and think of other solutions!
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better the next afternoon, which made Li Jianguo truly realize the methods of this new county magistrate!
Although Bao Ruijin listened to Li Jianguo's report briefly and then sent him back, it seemed as if he didn't care about the matter at all!
But the reality was quite different. Unbeknownst to many, Bao Ruijin, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually incredibly agitated. His situation was actually quite similar to Li Jianguo's.
Newcomers, young people, are seen by some older leaders as inexperienced and unreliable, so they don't take them seriously.
Even at the first meeting of the leadership team, the old Party Secretary bluntly stated that he was only there to gain experience and would be transferred after two years of "gilding" his resume.
Therefore, it's best to stay out of other people's business and behave yourself. This echoes his father's tone when they parted, telling him to listen more, observe more, and do less once he got to his post.
Humbly accept leadership from others and dedicate yourself to gaining experience over the next few years.
But Bao Ruijin clearly didn't think so. Now was the perfect time to make a difference. Since last year, everyone from top to bottom had clearly felt a new spring breeze.
The astute Bao Ruijin clearly sensed that this was a pivotal moment in a period of significant change.
As long as one is willing to work hard and find the right direction, one can not only realize one's own value, but also better serve the people.
He created a completely different situation, but being a newly appointed official, he was at a loss as to where to begin.
He valued this opportunity highly, especially the young man Mo Yuan that Li Jianguo had mentioned; he was also quite interested in him.
Because of my proximity to the source, I had the advantage of seeing many confidential internal documents and meeting many people.
He had no idea that a young man from this impoverished mountain village possessed such keen intuition and insight.
It seems I'll have to get to know them better in the future!
Li Jianguo's report also piqued Bao Ruijin's interest. A new broom sweeps clean, and the first act should be directed at Mo Youkun.
As public servants, instead of serving the people, they aid and abet evildoers. This needs to be thoroughly investigated!
The following day, at a meeting of the county leadership, Bao Ruijin unusually took a strong stance, strongly suggesting that the case be taken seriously, that Mo Youkun be suspended from his duties pending investigation, and that the case be transferred to other departments only after the evidence was conclusive.
No one expected that the newly arrived County Chief Bao would suddenly become so assertive.
It was as if they had a grudge against Mo Youkun, relentlessly pursuing him, even going so far as to oppose some people, until finally the old Party Secretary was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.
Despite his insistence on his opinion, he eventually persuaded the old Party Secretary. Many people began to look at Bao Ruijin with new respect, proving that the rumors were indeed not unfounded.
This was the first time they had ever seen the hot-tempered old Party Secretary bow down to a young man.
You have to understand, the old Party Secretary was a veteran of the war; his glare was imposing, even without anger. Before, he was the one who ruled.
Today, Bao Ruijin actually made a name for himself. Everyone secretly warned themselves that they could not afford to offend this new young county magistrate!
That afternoon, the leaders of the county public security bureau were summoned to a meeting. Upon their return, they immediately summoned Li Jianguo and announced that a special task force had been established, appointing him as its leader.
We are making every effort to investigate this case, and the county has clearly stated that Mo Youkun should be isolated and detained first, and the investigation should proceed slowly!
Li Jianguo hadn't expected things to turn around so quickly. He'd just been feeling down all morning and hadn't even come up with a new solution yet.
The county authorities are already swiftly taking action against Mo Youkun, and it's likely that Bao Ruijin orchestrated this.
I also began to admire this newly appointed county magistrate; he seemed unassuming, yet his methods were astonishing.
It was all done in half a day, so Li Jianguo didn't dare delay and immediately led his men to bring back the Mo brothers, Mo Youkun and Mo Yougan.
Mo Youkun was still somewhat confused when he was taken to the county.
I was shocked when I saw it. It wasn't just one department; it looked like a three-way interrogation!
He had initially planned to plead his innocence, admitting only to dereliction of duty and the loss of the firearm, while claiming he was innocent of everything else.
However, a considerable amount of cash, cigarettes, and alcohol were found in his home, including watches worth over ten yuan, which was clearly inconsistent with his income.
Moreover, faced with the organization's rigorous and meticulous investigation, they quickly uncovered a great deal of evidence of Mo Youkun's illegal and disorderly conduct.
Regardless, based on the existing evidence, he cannot escape imprisonment.
But Mo Yougan didn't have such a strong sense of resisting interrogation. Once he was in the detention center, the interrogation revealed numerous loopholes in his story, and his psychological defenses were quickly broken down. He vomited everything up!
Meanwhile, Mo Youkun's situation was gradually being broken through, especially after Li Jianguo told him that the location where Bai Dashan's body was hidden had been discovered.
Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Mo Youkun simply couldn't understand why the investigators were so incredibly resourceful.
How did they discover it in just a few days?
The place where he buried the body was a remote, uninhabited area!
Combined with the testimonies of the other two bandits, it was revealed that Bai Dashan had maintained close contact with Mo Youkun. Mo Yuan, on the other hand, stated that he personally overheard Mo Youkun speaking to Bai Dashan outside the cave that day.
He even said he'd meet me at our usual spot later! Of course, there were a few flaws in Mo Yuan's testimony; he hadn't actually heard everything, but rather deduced it through inference.
However, all of this, combined with Mo Youkun's testimony, forms a perfect logical loop!
Faced with overwhelming evidence, Mo Youkun had no choice but to confess.
Li Jianguo successfully found the dagger that killed Bai Dashan at the place he gave him!
In this case, under pressure from Bao Ruijin, the various departments acted with surprising efficiency.
The truth will soon come out!
All the perpetrators were brought to justice, and even Wang Xiaofang was reported by Mo Youkun.
It's unclear whether he wanted to atone for his crime or simply didn't want to see Wang Xiaofang remain uninvolved.
Or perhaps Mo Yougan simply harbors resentment towards Wang Xiaofang and wants to drag her down with him!
In short, none of Mo Yuan's enemies escaped this time, and finally, under his intentional or unintentional guidance,
They used the opponent's strength against them, and all of them were brought to justice!
