Chapter 173 Extra: Casting a Net (1)



Lin Lan told Han Qingsong that she wanted to meet Cauliflower alone, and Han Qingsong naturally agreed.

Although she was not a public security officer, there were no strict regulations at the time, so as long as someone accompanied her, there was no problem for her to get close to the detainees.

Lin Lan found Liu Jianyun, "Jianyun, I want to talk to Caihua alone for a while, you stay outside. Don't worry, I will definitely not hit her."

Liu Jianyun: "...I'm relieved. My sister-in-law is so gentle, how could she hit someone?"

Lin Lan: ...Haha, if anyone wants to harm my child, I will chop him with a knife. Do you believe me?

Liu Jianyun called Cauliflower out for review and stood guard outside, letting Lin Lan go in by herself.

Lin Lan threw the notebook on the table and didn't sit down. Instead, she stood there and looked at Caihua coldly.

Caihua looked at her warily, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Lan knocked on the table. "What can I do? Hit you?" She sneered. Her expression clearly said, "I want to beat you to death. Do you believe it?"

Cauliflower bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry.

Lin Lan: "Don't cry."

Caihua stared at her hatefully. She had already determined that Lin Lan was the same as her and felt that this was her trump card. If Lin Lan dared to push her too hard, she would expose her.

Lin Lan stared at her for a while and decided not to reveal that she knew Cauliflower's secret, lest she tell the truth.

"Why did you single out Shen Yu and my son for deception?"

Caihua glanced at her quickly. Could she say that it was because Shen Yusheng was a successful entrepreneur and Han Wangguo was a gangster boss? Especially Han Wangguo, no matter his ability, means or personality, made the big sister obsessed. Whatever the big sister was interested in, she was interested in!

Her mouth clenched and she started to cry, "I... I just want them to play with me. Wuwu... You guys play with Yanyan but not me... Wuwu..."

Lin Lan: "... stop pretending. Yanyan didn't play with us or anything. You were just staring at Shen Yu."

Caihua lowered her head. "Brother Shen Yu is a good man with a promising future. Why can't I like him?"

Lin Lan guessed that she was a cannon fodder who was reborn, and she wanted to cling to the male lead. I just don't know how old she was when she was reborn, and she actually used such a trick of pretending to be a ghost.

Childish! LOW!

She behaves like an old woman, which is disgusting.

It's a shaman dance, you can imagine the consequences.

"You really like him?"

"Of course!"

"What do you like?"

"I like everything about him. He is good-looking, has a good temper, is well-educated, and has a promising future."

Lin Lan nodded: "If there is a future, it's definitely not a big deal. So, are you sure that Shen Yu will have a promising future?"

"He, he is well educated, so doesn't that mean he will have a bright future?"

Lin Lan: "My daughter and my second brother are more educated, so they will definitely have a bright future."

Caihua was sobbing, and although she looked disdainful, she said, "He and Mai Sui are both good at studying, they will definitely have a bright future."

Lin Lan: "Can you get into college?"

Cauliflower: What a bullshit! He will definitely get first place in the university where he has a lot of money!

"You will definitely pass the exam. You are such a good student."

"So what you're saying is that one of them is poor and destitute, while the other is a gigolo?" Lin Lan leaned over and stared at her.

Caihua subconsciously leaned back and stayed away from her, "Wuwuwu... I, I was just talking nonsense."

She calculated quickly in her mind that Lin Lan was just a resurrected corpse and had no idea about the future, so she still had a chance of winning.

This is your trump card and bargaining chip.

"Nonsense?"

"I just want to scare them..." She lowered her voice, "to scare them so they can play with me in the future."

Lin Lan looked at her and smiled, "If you want to play together, just tell them. If you don't tell them, they won't know."

"I told you I wanted to come to your house, but Shen Yu wouldn't let me!" Caihua said angrily, "He invited Yanyan, why didn't he bring me?"

She behaves in an extremely childish way, which makes the other party relax their guard and not be too suspicious.

Lin Lan said coldly: "You are wrong, it is me who does not welcome you, and I feel disgusted just by looking at you."

She stared at Caihua's gnashing teeth and picked up the notebook. "The following content will be recorded. Don't lie."

Caihua swallowed and said, "I didn't lie to you at all."

"How did you pass the textile factory exam?" Lin Lan asked, staring at her sharply.

Lin Lan found it strange that Caihua was admitted, because Caihua didn't like studying. Shen Yu was good at studying and knew a little about machinery, and Yanyan knew how to weave and had supplemented her knowledge. So what did Caihua rely on? Shen Yu was very surprised when he knew that she was admitted, because Caihua's test paper was a mess and she didn't know how to answer at all.

Cauliflower bit her lip, trying to figure out how to explain.

Lin Lan stared at her intently. "Is it difficult to answer about what you have done? You won't lie to me and say you guessed it. There were 200 people taking the exam, and only 15 were admitted in the end, and three more places were added. What special skills do you have to be admitted extra?"

Lin Lan also asked Shen Yu, Cauliflower's performance in the textile factory was average, she was a drag on her daily work, and many teams didn't want her.

The answer is obvious.

Caihua covered her face and started crying again, "Why are you humiliating me like this? What are you doing! I am related to the textile factory director, isn't that ok? He felt sorry for me and made an exception to recruit me."

One lie leads to countless problems.

Lin Lan: "He made an exception and accepted you because you suit his taste?"

Otherwise, Cauliflower is not that pretty, has a flat figure, and looks nothing special. Why would the director of the textile factory set an unspoken rule for her?

Or... Lin Lan thought in reverse, "It's not that he likes you, but how do you control him?"

There were so many people who signed up, and Cauliflower was not outstanding at all. It was impossible for the director to notice her right away. She must have gone looking for him on purpose.

Even if she took the initiative to approach the director, most men would not be interested in a skinny little girl. It's not that they look down on her, but there are so many temptations of a plump, mature and youthful woman. A lustful man should not make such a choice according to common sense.

So Lin Lan was sure that she had some tricks up her sleeve, and if Caihua didn't confess, she would not be able to pass this test.

She tapped the paper with her pen and said, "Don't waste your breath. If you were the flower of a textile factory, I would believe what you said."

In his heart, Caihua cursed Lin Lan's past and present life.

Caihua had not expected Lin Lan to be so difficult to deal with. Even the fact that she slept with the director in secret was not an excuse for her to discredit herself, and she would not let go.

"Yes...I accidentally found out a secret of his."

She wanted to seduce Lin Lan secretly.

Lin Lan didn't ask about the secret, "How did you know?"

“I just know.”

Lin Lan: "Either someone told you, or there was some reason. It's impossible that you just knew."

Caihua suddenly became irritated, "I said I saw it, but you didn't believe me and insisted that I was playing tricks. What can I do?"

Lin Lan glanced at her. Of course she believed it. Aren’t you reborn? But she couldn’t let others believe it. “What secret?”

Caihua: "He... is the illegitimate son of a puppet general."

Lin Lan didn't care. "If you use this to threaten him, will he continue to help you?"

Cauliflower nodded.

Lin Lan made a note in the record and was going to find the director of the textile factory to verify and find out more information. She didn't even look up, but just rolled her eyes at Caihua. This angle made Caihua feel that she despised him, and he felt angry and stressed.

"Tell me about Lu Jingya. Why do you slander her?"

"I didn't slander her!" Cauliflower shouted subconsciously.

Her feelings towards the big sister were very complicated. She had envy, admiration, and respect, as well as jealousy and hatred. Especially when she knew that in the big sister's heart, she was just an insignificant subordinate, it almost pissed her off to death.

She has done so much, is it possible that she is not as good as Han Wangguo who has been dead for many years?

The big sister manipulated the situation behind the scenes and had a book published with Shen Yu and Yan Yan as the prototypes for the male and female protagonists, which included Han Wangguo's family.

Others didn't know what she meant, but Caihua knew it very well. As she got older, the big sister's delusions became more serious. She wanted to use this method to keep the man inside forever.

She thought that the big sister would definitely discredit or deliberately embellish the relationship between her and Han Wangguo, but it turned out that this was not the case. It was exactly as it happened, so real that it made Caihua sweat.

When Han Wang was in elementary school, he was led astray because of his rebelliousness and family neglect, and eventually ran away from home and joined the underworld.

He started to be noticed when he was 9 years old, officially became a disciple when he was 15, and ran away from home with his grandfather in early 1975.

It is clearly stated in Big Sister's book that he is a focused and pure person who regards learning skills as his interest. He neglects food and sleep and turns a deaf ear to what is happening outside.

In her opinion, those gangsters on TV can't compare to him. They are not as handsome as him, not as cruel as him, not as good at fighting as him, nor as cold and ruthless as him.

Even though she had been training and studying with him, spending every day with him, he did not fall in love with her because of the long-term affection.

Fortunately, he was not interested in other women. His grandfather said that men need to start a family, and he was willing to start a family with her. Just before getting married, he accidentally learned that his father was brutally murdered the year he left home, so he refused to get married and wanted revenge.

The grandfather said that he had already avenged him and showed him the evidence one by one.

He remained silent for two days, accepted the result, but refused to get married and demanded to observe a three-year mourning period.

Three years later, he became the most prestigious successor in the sect. As the old man was getting old, he wanted to take care of his parents and let them get married and have children early so that he could have four generations living under the same roof.

This was the most chaotic time in the 1980s, and it was also the time when the public security system was cracking down severely.

He delayed it for another two years on the pretext of being busy, and then killed the old man at the wedding, killed his third uncle who already held an important position in the army, and killed all the other bosses, including Liu Haozhe.

It was a cold and merciless killing. They treated him as a family member, like their own son. No one thought he would betray them, let alone be so cruel and resolute.

However, this part is a secret that the big sister has kept secret. Only she has the full version. The published book only retains some plots related to the female supporting role Han Mai Sui, which is just a brief explanation to serve the plot of the male and female protagonists.

Just as Caihua was daydreaming, Lin Lan asked, "Tell me how Lu Jingya harmed my eldest son."

Caihua shuddered, "I... I just made it up..."

"You didn't know her before, are you making it up? Don't play tricks, I don't have time to talk to you. It's not that the Public Security Bureau won't carry out lynchings." She sneered, "I'm not a police officer, I'm Han Wangguo's mother!"

Caihua really hated her, and was angry and regretful. She was too careless! !

This seems to confirm what the Big Sister of the previous life said about her: "She is so stupid that the whole world can see through her at a glance, and she still wants to play tricks. Just do what you are told to do, and don't contribute any brains at all."

When Caihua saw Lin Lan's eyes after hearing these words, she wished there would be another big earthquake to bury all these bastards underground.

"Or let me remind you, is Lu Jingya related to what you said about my eldest son killing someone and being shot?" Lin Lan asked casually, but she was a little nervous in her heart.

She screwed the cap back on. There was no need to record this part. She had prepared so much for this sentence. She wanted to confirm the future with Caihua, confirm some things, and then find some people!

The sweat on Caihua's face was pouring down. Fortunately, Lin Lan didn't know the future outcome, so she still had a trump card. She wiped the sweat off her face and thought about how to deal with it. But she was really not a very smart person - although she thought she was smarter than anyone, under Lin Lan's questioning, her brain was completely unable to work and she couldn't even lie.

Because once she asked one question, Lin Lan would have a bunch of questions following her.

"I told you, but you didn't believe me." Caihua's throat was dry and his eyes started to feel dry, just like when he was old in his previous life, with dry eyes and a bitter mouth.

Lin Lan: "I believe it. Don't just talk about the result, talk about the process. Who likes to only hear the ending of a story?" Lin Lan stood up and walked to Caihua diagonally to look at her.

Cauliflower suddenly felt an invisible pressure surrounding her.

“I, I…”

Lin Lan leaned over, holding the edge of the table with one hand and the back of the chair with the other, staring at Caihua more closely, "There's something wrong with this Lu Jingya. Even if she hasn't harmed my son now, she will in the future."

Caihua didn't know why her hands were shaking. She tried to calm herself down. There was nothing to be afraid of! This woman didn't know, only you knew! You are the second most important person after the big sister. After ten years, you can kill this woman in a minute.

She grabbed the crossbar under the table, holding on tightly, forcing herself to calm down.

"I, I bumped into her at the school gate that day and heard someone calling her name. She's very pretty and tall, but very proud. She actually... actually bumped into me and didn't apologize... I... I just wanted to make her suffer."

Lin Lan: "Stop making it up. Do you think I'm a child?"

She stood up and said, "I'm curious about what you said. Let me go call Lu Jingya to see if you two have any conflicts." She walked out the door. She walked quickly and then reached out to open the door. "Jianyun?"

Liu Jianyun hid a little further away. If someone in the house shouted something, he would hear it, but he couldn't hear normal sounds.

Hearing Lin Lan calling him, he responded and strode over.

"You go to a high school and call a girl named Lu Jingya..."

"Wait a minute!" Cauliflower in the house became anxious.

Lin Lan turned around and looked at her, "Do you remember?"

Cauliflower stood up in a hurry just now, and now he sat down again.

Lin Lan smiled at Liu Jianyun and said, "It's too cold outside. Go to the next room and warm up."

Liu Jianyun said it was okay and he continued to stand guard for Lin Lan.

Lin Lan returned to her seat and sat down, playing with the pen in her hand. "Let's start."

Caihua regretted deeply why she told Dawang the name of Lu Jingya when she could have just said there was a female student. She wanted to achieve her goal quickly and scare Dawang so that she could change his fate and he would be controlled.

She had planned everything, but she had never expected Da Wang to act unconventionally.

She also didn't expect that Lin Lan was actually a resurrected corpse.

"I saw that Han Wangguo joined an illegal organization, and Lu Jingya was also in it." She said this with difficulty.

She said that Lin Lan cannot be used as evidence to arrest people. No one would use someone's words "I predict the future" as evidence.

Lin Lan: “Go on.”

Cauliflower's thoughts were in a mess. She remembered many things, some of which were very clear in her memory, and some of which she thought she had forgotten but remembered again.

In her previous life, she didn't know many words, but later she learned a little from the Big Sister. However, she still didn't like reading. The only book she read seriously was the one that the Big Sister had someone compile, and most of it was read by someone else.

The reason she wanted to watch it was because she wanted to know how much she had in the show. She felt that she was the close assistant of the big sister, so she had to start from the beginning. Unfortunately, she had very few parts, even Han Mai Sui had more! She was very sad, disappointed, frustrated, and felt abandoned.

She even got drunk and pretended to be crazy and questioned the big sister, "Why don't I have any role? Why am I not included? How can you treat me like this? I'm so good to you!"

The big sister's eyes at the time were exceptionally cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion in them, as if she was looking at a pile of garbage with indifference.

On what basis!

What does she rely on?

We are all gangsters, we are all scum, why are you nobler than me!

Aren't you unloved? Wouldn't he rather be shot than be with you?

Wouldn't you rather he be shot than give up your dignity and wealth? Who are you pretending to be a worthless person who is living a life worse than death?

Although you did not participate in the murder of his father, you secretly obstructed his investigation and shielded the murderer of his father. You still want to love him forever. How can you be so shameless!

How are you nobler than me? How are you nobler than me? Why do you look down on me?

Cauliflower's eyes were a little crazy, and he had the illusion that he couldn't tell the difference between his past and present lives.

"In the images you saw, my eldest son did not kill innocent people, but Lu Jingya and his gang."

Lin Lan's voice was calm but emotionless, cold and indifferent, but her heart could not help but tighten. If what Caihua said was true, then Da Wang in his previous life avenged his father? Thinking of this, Lin Lan felt distressed but also somewhat relieved. Although he had gone astray, he could finally find his way back.

If Lu Jingya is in cahoots with them, they will all be exposed if we investigate them thoroughly. They are naturally weaker and easier to deal with now than they will be in ten or twenty years.

What's more, the fifth and sixth brothers are dead, and Liu Haozhe has been arrested. It is estimated that they will not be able to train a new successor in a short period of time.

If the enemy who killed Han Qingsong and brought harm to Dawang in the previous life was dug out, all worries would be gone from then on.

But Lin Lan was a little confused. It was certain that Da Wang would not go with them in this life, and with Han Qingsong in the county town, they couldn't get involved. So why did they let Lu Jingya come here to study?

Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?

Or are you determined not to be exposed?

So, cauliflower is really the key. If there were no cauliflower, they would never suspect that there was anything wrong with Lu Jingya.

Cauliflower nodded gently. She had no idea how tragic the process was because she was still fighting with her husband's first wife for children and money.

She found out about it later.

The unpublished part of the book was placed in the eldest sister's bedroom. Whenever she went to sleep at home, she would read it at night, drinking and reading at the same time, as if possessed. After listening to it many times, Caihua understood many things about those years.

He had been secretly investigating the murderer of his father, and did not reveal the truth until he got the real power.

She knew clearly that he was investigating, but she helped him cover up in front of Grandpa and Third Uncle. She tried to stop him, but she was reluctant to break up with him.

The day of the outbreak was her Shura field.

He was so bloodthirsty that he killed almost all the elites in the door.

Finally he walked towards her with the knife in hand.

She held the gun in her hand but couldn't pull the trigger. She watched him go crazy and kill people, killing her grandfather, her third uncle, and all his relatives. She watched him and her face to face with a knife in hand.

He was covered in blood, some of his own and some of others’. Blood dripped onto the ground from the tip of the knife.

"You killed me." Her face was pale. "If it would make you let it go, you killed me."

Without saying a word, he threw the knife hard and it hummed into the floor.

She understood the look in his eyes. He would not kill her, but they would never see each other again in this life or the next!

She wasn't the one who killed his father, but since they were all members of this family, there wasn't much difference between them killing him and her killing him.

He turned and strode away, his tall figure gradually disappearing from her sight, cold and resolute, never looking back.

"I love you—" she cried heartbreakingly, "I didn't choose my life, it was my life that chose me. If I could, I would also like to choose it myself once—"

He remained unmoved, opened the door and walked into the sunlight, walking and walking until he walked into the dark muzzle of a gun.

His last words were: I only hope I have not gone astray.

Bullshit bullshit bullshit!

Caihua was going crazy. Why did she remember it so clearly? More than 30 years later, the voice of the big sister kept echoing in her mind, almost blowing her brain to pieces.

Lin Lan looked at Caihua who seemed to be in a frenzy across from her and waited patiently. But in the end, Caihua collapsed on the chair without saying a word, as if his whole body was hollowed out.

Lin Lan didn't urge her, she just watched coldly. After a moment, she said, "You are also one of them."

"No! No!" Cauliflower sat up straight, "I don't know them!"

Lin Lan understood what she meant. At least Cauliflower didn’t know them yet. Maybe he wasn’t old enough?

It seems that she has a deep bond with the organization, but also has deep conflicts with it, so she started to betray it before she even joined.

She smiled, her expression softened, and she walked over and patted Caihua on the shoulder, saying gently, "Don't be afraid, you haven't broken the law yet, and there's still time for everything. No one will do anything to you."

Caihua was shocked and looked up at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan looked her straight in the eye and said, "Tell me what you saw later. I believe it and I will listen very carefully."

Caihua didn't dare to say anything. She had already said enough, but she couldn't tell anyone about their activities. What would happen in the future was her own trump card, and she couldn't tell Lin Lan everything.

Her body softened again. These two conversations were really tiring. Her emotions were going through such a roller coaster ride that she could hardly bear it.

"If those people appeared in front of you, could you recognize them?" Lin Lan asked her.

Cauliflower slumped in the chair, shaking her head. Even the eldest sister looked very different after many years, let alone others. Besides, when she entered the family, she didn't know how many heads had been changed, and some of the leaders had not even been born yet.

Lin Lan didn't need her to say anything else, these were enough.

She shouted, "Jianyun!"

Liu Jianyun pushed the door open and walked in. "Sister-in-law."

"Go and ask your Korean department to come."

Liu Jianyun immediately went to call out, and soon Han Qingsong came over with him.

Lin Lan said, "Third brother, there is someone who may be innocent at the moment, but you need to investigate all her relatives and friends." She whispered in her ear, "I suspect someone in her family is related to the last case."

Han Qingsong's face froze, knowing what she meant. He took the notes from Lin Lan's hand, took a look at it, and saw a name "Lu Jingya" circled on it.

Liu Jianyun also saw it: "Da Wang asked about it that day."

Han Qingsong: "Send someone who won't attract attention to Qinghuai County to investigate and find a better excuse."

Liu Jianyun smiled and said, "This is our specialty, don't worry."

He went to arrange the staff.

Han Qingsong glanced at Caihua, who looked listless, and asked, "Is she tired?" Han Qingsong wondered if she could really communicate with spirits? It was very tiring to invite spirits to possess one's body. When he was a child, he saw those shamans who performed the shaman dance, and they were all exhausted.

Lin Lan: "I didn't make her work hard, I guess she was just angry about something." She rubbed her brows and smiled, "Director Han, you have to go ask the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the textile factory in person to support the girl."

Lin Lan turned the page of the transcript to him.

Han Qing took a look and said, "I'll go ask him myself." He asked someone to lock up Cauliflower first, and then left with Lin Lan.

Zhang Xiwang was in a meeting when he was found by Han Qingsong. He was gesticulating and talking in a rhythmic manner, as if he was giving orders, and his speech was full of saliva and in high spirits.

Han Qingsong interrupted them, "Zhang Xiwang, the Public Security Bureau has a case and needs your cooperation."

Zhang Xiwang knew Han Qingsong. He didn't expect the deputy director to come to him personally. He really gave him face. But when he and Han Qingsong went to the wall to question him, he was not so proud. When he heard that it was rape of an underage girl, he panicked and waved his hands, "No, no, it was Caihua who came to me. She took the initiative. And... no, we didn't do that at all."

Han Qingsong glanced at him and said, "No?"

Zhang Xiwang nodded vigorously: "No, I, I didn't get her body..."

Han Qingsong stared at Zhang Xiwang's face and digested his words for a while before asking, "She is just using your background to threaten you?"

Zhang Xiwang's face changed.

Han Qingsong: "Relax, no matter whose son you are, if you don't do bad things, no one will shoot you."

Zhang Xiwang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Han Qingsong: "Let's talk about He Caihua."

Zhang Xiwang dared not hide anything from Han Qingsong, and told him everything clearly, fearing that Han Qingsong would be dissatisfied, so he even met him several times, telling him what he did, how the cauliflower was like, what he did, and what he gave as a gift. He described everything clearly, making people suspect that he had been reminiscing about it every day.

Han Qingsong had a blank expression on his face the whole time, but after listening he sensitively realized that Caihua's method was a bit similar to Liu Haozhe's, and it was just a superficial grasp of Liu Haozhe's.

Zhang Xiwang looked at Han Qingsong anxiously: "Director Han, I, I'm fine."

Han Qingsong said calmly: "Whether you have anything to do, please discuss it with the Textile Factory Reform Committee first."

How could he be okay? Han Qingsong doesn't have time to deal with him. After the Revolutionary Committee finishes discussing it, he will naturally be sent to the Public Security Bureau for punishment.

Han Qingsong returned to the Public Security Bureau and first called Luo Haicheng to make some arrangements and asked Luo Haicheng to go to the farm.

A few days later, each county held a year-end safety exchange meeting, with participants including the Public Security Bureau, the Propaganda Office, and others. Afterwards, the counties visited each other for exchanges. Liu Jianyun led a group there and brought back news.

Liu Jianyun went to find Han Qingsong to report and called Lin Lan as well. Now he and Deputy Director Li have separate offices, each in their own room.

There is an old radiator in the office. Because it is on the first floor, there is a gurgling sound inside and the temperature is also very low.

Han Qingsong poured a teacup of hot water for Lin Lan, asked her to hold it to warm her hands, and signaled Liu Jianyun to start.

Liu Jianyun took out his notebook and turned to that page. "Director Han, this is what I compiled. You and sister-in-law can take a look at it."

Lin Lan and Han Qingsong sat side by side and looked at the pages carefully.

Although Lu Jingya's grandfather was a martyr, he did not dare to make a public statement in 1941 because the Japanese puppet army was still active in the area at that time. In order to conceal her identity and to have someone to rely on to survive, Lu Jingya's grandmother remarried to Hu Kaisheng. Lu Jingya's father Lu Wenqi was not a biological child, but an adopted child. During the continuous wars, a village was massacred for taking in anti-Japanese forces behind enemy lines and leaving behind orphans. Lu Jingya's third uncle Hu Zongyu is the son of her grandmother and Hu Kaisheng, and now serves as a political instructor in the Mingdao Military Division.

A few years after giving birth to Hu Zongyu, Lu Jingya's grandmother passed away. Hu Kaisheng did not remarry, but raised all three children and married them off.

After Lu Wenqi's death, his widow Yu Xiumei never remarried. However, there were rumors that she had some affair with a man in the village, but it was not easy for a martyr's widow to remarry.

She was not particularly close to her daughter. Lu Jingya grew up with her grandfather and uncle, and had often gone to the army to follow Hu Zongyu since elementary school.

Anyone who takes out the family tree and looks at it can find that there is nothing mysterious about counting the ancestors for three generations.

No one jumps out from the cracks in the rocks.

Lin Lan thought that since Lu Gensheng and Lu Wenqi had already died, there should be no problem. Then her uncle Lu Wenlong and stepfather Hu Kaisheng were very suspicious, and Hu Zongyu also had to be investigated.

But the identity is there, it’s not that easy to investigate.

Han Qingsong said: "Let's investigate this Hu Kaisheng first."

Liu Jianyun: "Hu Kaisheng is not a local. He fled from Ming Island. When the Japanese landed, they appeased and killed people to intimidate, so many people fled. He was originally a cook, with a family tradition, and his ancestors worked in the royal kitchen. There are many stories about him in the local area. At that time, the Japanese, the National Army, and the puppet army all asked him to cook for them. He took the opportunity to save several underground party members and the Eighth Route Army. Oh, by the way, Lu Gensheng was saved by him."

Lin Lan flipped through it. These were all public information and there was nothing to be afraid of. She thought that Caihua must not know Lu Jingya now. After all, she was a female student who had just returned from school and a little girl who had just come out of the countryside. They had no connection at all.

Their social life is a lifetime.

So no matter how good Lu Jingya looks now, he will definitely be the boss of a gang in the future.

The only thing that needed to be confirmed was that she was now inside.

If she didn't get in, she wouldn't be considered a bad person, and she couldn't be punished in advance for future crimes. But even if she didn't get in, we still had to make sure she was with that group of people.

Han Qingsong said slowly: "Let's assume that Hu Kaisheng is the ancestor and investigate him in this direction."

This statement of Grandfather was made by Dawang when he was a child, and later by Liu Haozhe as well. This is the most critical person. As long as he is caught, this criminal organization that will cause great harm to society in the future will collapse.

Liu Jianyun: "Director Han, I will personally lead the team to handle this case."

Han Qingsong: "Have someone quietly inquire to see if there are any people in Qinghuai County who are particularly good at fortune-telling. If they find out, don't make any alarms and be careful to monitor them."

According to Han Qingsong's understanding, if that ancestor really existed, assuming it was Hu Kaisheng, would he have trained a few capable bosses in Qinghuai County? In the case handled last year, Lao Liu's ability was too poor and he would not be able to get away once he was exposed, which was far from the ability of the third boss.

He wondered if there was a group of people lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Liu Jianyun also understood. After they handled the case of Lao Liu and others last year, Han Qingsong asked people to inquire about people who were good at fortune-telling in the county to see if he was the leader of the Xiang family. As a result, dozens of people were found, and after investigation, none of them were suspicious.

When I returned home in the evening, Da Wang had already led his younger brothers and sisters home.

Erwang and Maisui cooked, boiled sweet potatoes, stewed cabbage and eggs, steamed farmer's sausages, stuffed pancakes, various pickled vegetables, and fried hairtail.

As soon as Lin Lan entered the house, she boasted, "We can smell the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and fried hairtail in the front yard."

Erwang's cooking skills are getting better and better. For example, when cooking sweet potatoes, many people are afraid of burning the pot, so the sweet potatoes are really boiled in water, which is not delicious at all. Erwang controls the amount of water and the heat well, and the water is just baked dry when the pot is taken out of the pot. The sweet potatoes are covered with crumbs and sweet potato oil, which is sweet and fragrant.

There is also fried hairtail, which is coated with egg liquid and fried in oil. It is golden in color, looks beautiful and tastes good.

The sausages were sent by Ren Hongxia, and they were delicious and tasty. Lin Lan planned to buy a few pounds of meat from the brigades when they slaughtered pigs in a few days, and then she would eat several dozen pounds herself so that the children would have meat to eat every day.

After dinner, the children did their homework, read books and listened to the radio, while Lin Lan called Da Wang to her and Han Qingsong's room to give some instructions.

She thought about it, fearing that her eldest son would resist, "My eldest son, we should be on guard against that classmate Lu, but we should not be too serious about it."

Dawang: “I know.”

Caihua has been formally arrested by the Public Security Bureau. Although he and Shen Yu were told that it was a prank, he was not so easy to fool. He felt that there was still something wrong with Lu Jingya, at least not as clean as the files said.

He called on the mutual aid group of Class 2 and asked them to take the initiative to accept Lu Jingya's tutoring.

But we are together during breaks and morning exercises, so it doesn’t seem deliberate.

A few days later, Da Wang and his friends went to school and found a new Chinese teacher.

The new teacher is named Fan Yikun, the former vice-principal of the school. During the Cultural Movement, he was labeled a rightist and sent to Shanshui Farm for reform. Now that he is found to have no problems, he is transferred back to the high school to continue teaching.

Mai Sui and Er Wang really like listening to his lectures, which are lively, interesting, insightful, and he is a good teacher who can patiently guide students who are impatient with studying.

Because he had a limp and it was tiring for him to stand in the classroom during class, the students would ask him to sit down.

He immediately bowed repeatedly to the picture of Chairman M on the blackboard. "How dare I say I'm tired in front of a great leader? This is what a teacher should do."

After class, he would also chat with his classmates and encourage them to study hard.

One student laughed and said, "Teacher Fan, what are we learning? Aren't we still going to go to the countryside to repair the earth?"

Fan Yikun said with a firm face: "The four-member group has been arrested. I firmly believe that the college entrance examination will be restored. For such a large country to develop, it needs a lot of talents. Everyone should see light and hope."

After hearing what he said, many of the students started to wonder if it was true.

"If we can take the college entrance examination, we will be so lucky!" We are so much luckier than our older brothers and sisters.

They have not returned from their rural trip yet.

Fan Yikun smiled and said, "For example, if you recover next year or the year after, are you ready? Can you take the exam?"

After he said this, some students became excited and said, "Quick, quick, lend me your notes."

Fan Yikun smiled. He certainly wasn't sure if he would be able to take the college entrance exam next year, because he had been saying next year for almost seven or eight years. However, it was better to give others some hope than to be confused every day.

After being released from school, Fan Yikun went to the Revolutionary Committee. The reason why he could return to school to teach was that the Revolutionary Committee had approved it. At first, he had to report his work to the Political Section of the Revolutionary Committee every day.

The reporting work is very simple. It just means talking about what you have done, self-examination of past mistakes, and expressing your loyalty and future plans.

When he came out, he met Han Qingsong and went up to greet him.

Han Qingsong glanced at him and said, "Teacher Fan is back."

Fan Yikun nodded and said, "I have to thank all the leaders."

Han Qingsong asked casually, "Are you and Liu Haozhe having an affair?"

Fan Yikun shook his head: "No, he used to be my student, and we kept in touch afterwards, but we stopped talking after I went to the farm."

Han Qingsong: "Then why did he report you as a bad element of a reactionary secret society?" He stared at Fan Yikun with a serious look.

Fan Yikun was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected this, and then he became excited, "The government will definitely be very careful and will not believe it easily. I, Fan Yikun, was labeled a rightist because I was not active in the revolution, and I am innocent. I will never do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth. I, I don't even know how classmate Xiao Liu became bad, and he actually slandered me?"

Han Qingsong looked at him. Nothing could be found out about Fan Yikun's background. It was possible that Fan Yikun was not part of the gang, or it was possible that they were indeed a group and deliberately reported the case. Either way, it would confuse the public and disrupt the public security.

After all, the police have limited manpower, especially those with special abilities, so it is impossible for them to handle several cases at the same time.

Han Qingsong said calmly: "Teacher Fan is innocent, I believe you."

Fan Yikun heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to Han Qingsong, "Thank you Director Han for your keen insight."

Han Qingsong said, "It's not that I'm very observant, but..." He immediately stopped talking, with an expression as if he was about to let something slip, and quickly said goodbye to Fan Yikun and strode into the office building.

Fan Yikun looked confused. At this time, someone from the Public Security Bureau came and said they wanted to see Director Han.

He vaguely heard a pale-faced policeman muttering, "The prophet suddenly fell ill, quickly tell the Korean Bureau to secretly call a doctor." Fan Yikun suddenly became curious, what prophet?

"Teacher Fan, please hurry up and don't stay here after reporting your thoughts." A police officer saw him and drove him away.

Fan Yikun hesitated for a moment and then walked out.

When he walked to the door, he met Da Wang and his younger brothers and sisters coming over. Fan Yikun recognized them at once.

After all, students with such outstanding appearance and good grades are deeply remembered. He heard Mai Sui angrily say: "That Lu Jingya is not a good person, she will harm my brother."

The handsome brother made a face at her, "Hehe, are you jealous because she's taller and can play basketball?"

"Nonsense, I am jealous of her? I knew that from eavesdropping on my parents' conversation. That prophet said that Lu Jingya is very likely a member of a reactionary secret society." She looked very proud that she knew a secret that you didn't, and she pulled the handsome Erwang to talk to him.

"Second brother, do you believe it?"

"Yes, I heard it too. The prophet also predicted a major earthquake, the death of a great man, the arrest of the foursome, and that the college entrance examination would be resumed next year."

Mai Sui said proudly, "That's right. My father said that he was able to escape being killed by Pan Daozi last year because of the prophet's warning. The people who arrested Liu Haozhe were also predicted."

"Unfortunately, her health is not good and she cannot predict things all the time. She has to take some time off between each prediction."

Da Wang, who was standing by, put his hands in his pockets. He turned his eyes and saw Fan Yikun not far away. His face changed and he coughed, "What nonsense are you talking about."

The children immediately pretended nothing had happened, greeted Fan Yikun, and said hello to the teacher, then hurried to the Revolutionary Committee compound.

Fan Yikun's heart was beating like a drum, was it true?

Lin Lan had been standing in the room where she could see the courtyard and the gate, staring back at Han Qingsong who had come in, and smiled softly, "Third brother, the kids' acting is really great."
