Chapter 9 Investigating the Truth



The investigators sent by Zheng Tiansen and Political Commissar Hao finally arrived at Liu Baogen's hometown.

Because the recruitment was originally completed with the cooperation of the local armed forces, those who came to investigate in the past also went to the county armed forces department as soon as possible.

Except for the recruiting period every day, the armed forces rarely have dealings with troops from other provinces. This may seem a bit strange to visitors at first glance.

However, since they showed the letter of introduction and identification, they had to cooperate immediately.

"Investigate Liu Baogen?"

There were not many soldiers sent out from their small county town every day, and there were even no vacancies for recruitment in some days. Among them, there were relatively outstanding ones, and the people in the armed forces naturally had their seals. Liu Baogen was one of them.

When the troops arrived, everyone was unfamiliar with the place. If they wanted to investigate Liu Baogen, they had to get the cooperation of the locals. This was their only choice but to contact the armed forces.

After all, the armed forces are still one of their own, and they don't want to disturb the local government departments unless it is absolutely necessary.

Although they were surprised why Liu Baogen, who was said to have a good development in the army, was investigated, the armed forces personnel had no choice but to cooperate.

First of all, the investigation is about Liu Baogen's family background and relatives.

At present, the management of household registration information is not sound, and coupled with the chaos in the past few months, it is normal for omissions to occur somewhere.

The investigation revealed that Liu Baogen had concealed some of his family situation.

Liu Baogen's grandparents are no longer with us. Apart from the grandparents and a younger sister he listed in his archival materials, he actually has another younger sister who was later adopted.

The full name of this adopted sister is Zhong Linglong.

As for Zhong Linglong's family information and identity background, there was no record of her. She was like a person who appeared out of thin air.

The two people who came to investigate did not make any comments on this, but only wrote down the investigation results one by one.

After checking his family information, the two soldiers began to conduct interviews and investigations with the cooperation of comrades from the armed forces department.

This time, we first went to the village where Liu Baogen lived.

Many people who went out to serve in the army from this year naturally had their impressions. After all, it was a glorious occasion and they were sent off with gongs, drums and big red flowers.

The two soldiers in charge of the investigation first stated that investigating Liu Baogen was a formal political review process in the army, and then hinted that only those who were valued and had the possibility of being promoted would receive this treatment, and then everyone in the army cooperated.

However, those who were present could only answer questions based on the basic information registered by Liu Baogen, and they were not clear about the more private information.

Fortunately, someone came to help them quickly.

"He is from Liujia Village. He knows Liu Baogen's family situation better than anyone else."

"Hello, comrade. We are from Liu Baogen's unit. We are here to investigate some of his personal circumstances. Please cooperate."

The first question he asked was about investigating Liu Baogen, who was a relative of his. Liu Baomin became alert.

He and Liu Baogen are both from the same generation with the character "Bao". So, Liu Baogen should call him cousin.

"Baogen, didn't you make any mistakes in the army?"

"Of course not." If it hasn't been concluded yet, then it hasn't happened yet. They are not lying.

"Comrade, we are just following a procedure." Another person said, hinting that most of the people who are valued and have the potential for promotion will be investigated and politically reviewed in this way.

Upon hearing this, Liu Baomin's expression relaxed.

Their family and Liu Baogen's family are already distant relatives, and the relationship between the two families is average, but after all, they are a family, and they have to maintain it when they are outside.

"That's good. What do you want to know about Baogen?"

The two soldiers began to ask questions step by step.

When asked about Liu Baogen's family members, Liu Baomin tentatively mentioned Liu's father, Liu's mother, and Liu Baoqin, but hesitated after that.

"According to our understanding, Liu Baogen also has an adopted sister." The inquiring soldier reminded.

"Well." Liu Baomin smiled. The army had come to investigate. Even if he didn't say it, they would find out from other sources. It would be better for him to say it. At least he wouldn't say bad things about his own family.

"There was indeed such a thing. My uncle and aunt were kind people. They picked up a girl named Hongdou a while ago."

The highlight is here. The two soldiers looked at each other and continued recording.

"Times were tough a while ago, and many people were often hungry. Now there's one more mouth to feed, and who wouldn't be worried?... So they raised Hongdou as a child bride."

At this point, Liu Baomin said anxiously, "Comrade, this won't have any negative impact on Baogen, right? We were forced to do so by the circumstances at the time. My uncle and aunt always treated Hongdou like their own daughter, and everyone in the village knew it."

"Of course not." The recording soldier said kindly.

"That's good."

"Comrade Hongdou, what's the situation now?"

"Hongdou, of course she's Baogen's wife. We'll have a formal wedding banquet for them whenever Baogen is free to come back. Everyone also assumes that Hongdou is Baogen's wife."

As for how to turn the adopted daughter who had already been registered in the household registration into a daughter-in-law, Liu Baomin had never considered it at all.

Although he worked in a company, Liu Baomin had limited knowledge. In their opinion, it didn't matter whether the formalities were completed or not. As long as there was a wedding banquet, everyone would recognize that you were husband and wife.

When they could get no more information from Liu Baomin, the investigating soldier closed the notebook.

After shaking Liu Baomin's hand and thanking him for his cooperation, the soldier also reminded him, "Comrade Liu Baomin, this investigation is confidential. Please do not disclose it to Liu Baogen's family."

"Discipline, obviously." Liu Baomin nodded repeatedly.

He had originally thought of saying thank you, but after being reminded of this, he also thought that it was still uncertain whether Baogen would be promoted. If he said it in advance and Baogen was disappointed, he might even be blamed later.

It would be better for him to hide first, and wait until the treasure root is finally born, then he can show off his contribution.

After leaving the village, the two investigating soldiers interviewed some people and their findings indirectly confirmed Liu Baomin's statement.

Those who are familiar with Liu Baogen's family all know that they had a child bride about ten years ago. When these people came, they all treated the child bride as Liu Baogen's real wife and were just waiting for the wedding banquet to be held.

After the investigation was complete, the two soldiers returned to the county armed forces department and used the phone there to call back to the troops.

After complicated transfers and waiting, they finally got through to their leader.

"Okay, I understand. Please record all the findings and bring them back."

After hanging up the phone, Political Commissar Hao looked grim and sent someone to call Zheng Tiansen over.

"Old Hao, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Zheng Tiansen came in soon.

"There has been progress in the investigation into Liu Baogen."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tiansen sat down with a serious expression. "You talk, I'm listening."

Hearing that Linglong was indeed Liu Baogen's child bride, or was tacitly recognized as Liu Baogen's wife, Zheng Tiansen's heart tightened.

"They're currently registered as brother and sister. Any talk of going through the necessary paperwork is absolutely ridiculous. I don't know why Comrade Linglong misunderstood."

Comrade Linglong must have been deceived by the Liu family! Zheng Tiansen clenched his hands on his lap.
