What surprised Han Qingsong and others was that Fan Yikun actually visited Deputy Director Li's home first.

What is happening?

Liu Jianyun immediately assigned people to keep an eye on Deputy Director Li's home, and then on Fan Yikun. Fortunately, Fan Yikun behaved himself when he returned home and did not go out.

Han Qingsong analyzed that Fan Yikun might go to Deputy Director Li to find out if this is true. This is a good thing, because Deputy Director Li has always been curious. Deputy Director Li was unhappy about Liu Haozhe's case last year, but he didn't know many details. When catching cauliflower a few days ago, Deputy Director Li also heard that the cauliflower can predict future events, but he didn't know the details. He asked Liu Jianyun several times, but Liu Jianyun always hesitated to answer, which made Deputy Director Li very angry.

After hearing what Fan Yikun said, he became even more certain, so he went directly to the Public Security Bureau to question Han Qingsong.

"Han Bureau, what are you playing at? Don't think that you won't fight against the remnants of feudalism now that the policy is relaxed. Anyone who practices feudal superstition will be arrested and shot as usual."

Han Qingsong looked calm and didn't respond. "Director Li, this is a confidential case. People who are not involved in the case are not allowed to interfere."

Deputy Director Li: "What the hell is this? I can't ask about it?"

Han Qingsong nodded: "Before the case was closed, Director Gao didn't ask any questions. What do you think?"

Deputy Director Li's lips trembled with anger. Ever since Han Qingsong came to the county, his hair has been falling out terribly in the past two years. If this continues, he will become bald.

Never allowed!

Two days later, he found an opportunity and went to his father-in-law's house with two bottles of wine, some snacks and apples.

Miao Xifa was an old Red Army soldier. He was a deputy regimental commander when the People's Republic of China was founded. He was injured and did not stay in the army. After retirement, he returned to his hometown and became the county party secretary. He retired in 1958 and became the chairman of the county people's congress. Now he is free from official duties. His old comrades who have not retired yet all hold important positions, so he still has weight in the county.

Deputy Director Li got up holding his thigh.

"Dad, are you playing chess?" When Deputy Director Li came in, he saw his father-in-law and an old man playing chess, with the Peking Opera "Picking the Pulley" playing on the radio next to them.

My father-in-law likes to drink a little wine and play chess, but his alcohol tolerance is average and his chess skills are even average. After a little wine, he will blurt out all the things he did when he stole sweet potatoes from his neighbor's house as a child.

Deputy Director Li, who played chess with him, also knew him. He had been here many times. He was a cook in the past and had saved Miao Xifa's life.

"Uncle Hu is here." Deputy Director Li put down the gift, moved a stool and sat over to give advice to his father-in-law.

Hu Kaisheng smiled at him and said, "Brother Miao is so lucky to have a son-in-law who is as successful and filial as his son."

Miao Xifa laughed and clapped his hands on his legs, "You're not bad either, haha, you better be careful, the veteran will confront you next!"

Hu Kaisheng smiled but said nothing.

Deputy Director Li broke out in a cold sweat and reminded him, "Dad, whoever faces him loses."

"Ah? Really?" Miao Xifa slapped his head and said, "Did I remember it wrong?" He looked at the chessboard and thought he was going to win, so why did he lose as soon as his son-in-law came?

Damn it! He glared at Deputy Director Li and stopped moving. "What's the matter with you today?"

Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "Dad, do you want to talk to the troops and get Han Qingsong back?"

Miao Xifa glared at him and said, "You are the Chairman of my Military Commission, and you brought Han Qingsong back. I want to get you in."

Deputy Director Li smiled awkwardly, "Dad, Uncle Hu is still here."

Miao Xifa: "Brother Hu, what's wrong with you? You're not afraid of anyone. Comrade, you have a serious ideological problem. Just because you can't beat Han Qingsong, you're going to just pull out all the dry wood under his pot?"

"Dad, that's called cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron."

"I don't care if you are cutting off the source of the trouble or taking out the old one, just focus on your business and don't talk nonsense."

"Dad, what do you think? Han Qingsong has a trump card in his hand. What kind of prophet? Can I beat him? He even predicted that the college entrance examination will be resumed next year..." After hesitating for a while, he whispered to Miao Xifa: "He knows about the big earthquake, the collapse of the great man, and the arrest of the four-man group."

Miao Xifa's small eyes widened into bull's eyes, "Nonsense, nonsense!"

Deputy Director Li: "It's true. I checked. The case handled by Han Qingsong last year was predicted by the prophet. Otherwise, he would have been stabbed to death in the market."

Miao Xifa was even more unconvinced, "Look at you, they are just trying to fudge you, to stop playing tricks on you."

"Dad, you just don't believe it. No matter what I say, you won't believe it. I heard it with my own ears. They want to arrest that ancestor and the third leader." Deputy Director Li shouted anxiously.

Hu Kaisheng on the side trembled in his hand, and quickly grasped the handsome man, holding it tightly.

Deputy Director Li thought it was no big deal, as there was no secret anyway, so he never shied away from the old man. Anyone who could eat and play chess with the old man was trustworthy.

He didn't think much about it.

Hu Kaisheng lowered his head slightly and sang on the radio, "Look at the dark hole in front, it must be the thief's nest. I will rush over and kill him cleanly..." His brows trembled and his eyes became more and more cold and fierce.

He smiled at Miao Xifa and said, "Director Li, have you been tricked? He is the most senior, but one or two of them are afraid of him. Even an outsider like me thinks it is unreasonable."

Miao Xifa: "There's nothing unreasonable about it. Han Qingsong is just very capable."

Hu Kaisheng smiled and said, "What Director Li said is not without reason. Wouldn't it be better for such a capable person to join the army?"

Deputy Director Li nodded repeatedly, "Dad, I think so too."

"I'm just taking a walk in the yard while you guys talk." Hu Kaisheng didn't say much. He smiled and went out without waiting for Miao Xifa's response.

As soon as Hu Kaisheng left, Miao Xifa lost his composure and slapped Deputy Director Li on the head, "How old are you? Why are you still being stupid? You believe this kind of thing?"

Deputy Director Li had a tearful face. No matter how old he was, he always acted like a child in front of his father-in-law. "Dad, I can't help but believe it. Look at Han Qingsong, a peasant. If he didn't have this, how could he be so successful?"

"He is so powerful, ask him to calculate for you when you will get promoted and make a fortune!" Miao Xi was furious, "Damn it, he looks down on the peasants, and I am also a peasant!"

A worthless thing.

Deputy Director Li felt very aggrieved.

"It's enough to have a good life. What else do you want? What's the big deal about being a deputy director or director? When you are old, you have people to take care of you, and you have enough food and drink. You can play chess and listen to opera whenever you want. Isn't that good? Look at me. If I hadn't followed the Communist Party, I would still be farming at home. How could I have such a good thing? Why are you not satisfied?"

Deputy Director Li looks so aggrieved, but that's you!

"Okay, go away and don't disturb me while I'm playing chess. Really." Miao Xifa couldn't stand him and told him to get out.

At the end of the morning exercise that day, Da Wang took off the cloth covering his eyes and found his father wiping his sweat with a towel.

Han Qingsong: "Progress has been rapid."

Da Wang was a little proud in his heart. Although he was more tired, he was able to make Han Qingsong sweat, which showed that he had indeed improved compared to before. When he was blindfolded at the beginning, he could only be beaten, but now he can do it almost the same as without the blindfold.

Han Qingsong glanced at him and said, "Take a leave today and go out with me."

Da Wang immediately suppressed his smug mood and said seriously, "Yes." He went home and asked Mai Sui and Er Wang to help him ask for leave.

Ever since their parents instructed them to help act out a play, the children have been very excited. Xiao Wang smiled and asked, "Big brother, are we going to close the net?"

Da Wang: "Don't ask."

Mai Sui: "Let's all be careful and not expose any flaws that she might see."

Erwang: “Don’t worry.”

Lin Lan: "What are you guys whispering about?"

Xiaowang: "She said that mom looks so beautiful today."

Lin Lan was wearing the cotton leather shoes that Sanwang bought for her. They had low heels and were delicate in style, not rough at all, and suited her very well.

Lin Lan turned around and said, "I think it looks good too."

After breakfast, Da Wang followed Han Qingsong to the Public Security Bureau. Liu Jianyun had prepared a jeep, and the five of them drove to Qinghuai County. They had lunch in the county first. Liu Jianyun asked around and found out that the chef Hu Kaisheng hadn't come to work in the past two days. Han Qingsong assigned Liu Jianyun to ask around at the county committee, and he took Da Wang and several police officers to the commune brigade.

They were received by Lu Wenming, director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chengjiao Brigade, as well as Lu Jingbing, director of public security.

Han Qingsong asked Dawang and the secretary to consult with them on some issues. He reminded Dawang, "Whether there is danger or not, you must be relaxed on the outside and tight on the inside."

Loose on the outside but tight on the inside, he looks casual and relaxed, but in fact he is always alert, keeping an eye on all directions and keeping his ears alert.

Da Wang nodded and said, "I'll remember it."

Han Qingsong took another policeman to Lu Jingya's house.

They had done their homework before coming. They found out that the Lu family had split up long ago. Lu Jingya, her mother Yu Xiumei, and her step-grandfather Hu Kaisheng lived in the old house, while her uncle Lu Wenlong and his family lived next door.

The Lu family was well off because Hu Kaisheng was a chef who made a good living cooking in the canteen of the county revolutionary committee. Both of their houses were made of blue bricks and black tiles, and even more than half of the courtyard walls were replaced with brick and stone structures, which were neat and solid.

The person who answered the door was a woman in her mid-thirties, tall and fair-skinned, with two small peach-shaped silver pendants on her ears and her hair neatly tied into a bun behind her head, held in a net bag and secured with a U-shaped silver hairpin. She wore a blue jacket with a large collar, buttoned on the left, and black cloth trousers with a circle of unique lace she had embroidered herself on the legs. She wore a pair of horse-mouthed cotton shoes she had sewn herself, with a cloud-patterned bat sewn on the toe of the shoes.

She looks cool and elegant, like a grandmother in the old society.

"Who are you looking for?" Seeing that the person coming was wearing a police uniform, Yu Xiumei's cold face showed no expression.

Han Qingsong showed his ID and said, "We are here to investigate the case of Lu Wenqi who was killed for robbing public grain in the 1960s."

Yu Xiumei was startled, then said unhappily: "It's been so many years, why are you checking again?"

Han Qingsong: "There is a similar case." He looked stern and in uniform, which gave him an intimidating look. He never explained things to others, and most people couldn't resist seeing his attitude.

Yu Xiumei hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let them in.

After walking around the screen wall, I entered the small courtyard. The courtyard was quite spacious, with five main rooms and no side rooms. In the southwest corner were the toilet and thatched house.

On the west side of the yard there was a swing-like structure that looked like the uneven bars used for military training.

Yu Xiumei invited them to sit in the main hall.

Although it was a country house, the main room was spotlessly clean. There was a shiny black eight-person table in the middle, a spring stool on one side, and two stools with hand-sewn cushions. There was a dining cabinet under the north window, and stoves on the east and west sides, all of which were neatly kept.

The doors of the east and west rooms were tightly closed, and there were navy blue curtains with bean-colored prints hanging outside, which looked cold and gloomy.

She wanted to make tea for them, but Han Qingsong said, "Don't bother. Let's understand what happened at that time."

The county and the commune have records of this kind of thing, but the records are all narrated after the fact, and cannot completely restore the situation at the time, there will always be discrepancies. Then the police were responsible for questioning, first asking about the basic circumstances such as when Yu Xiumei and Lu Wenqi got married and who introduced them.

Yu Xiumei's parents were also from the same commune, Yujia Village. When the three-year famine began, the Yu family could not afford food, so they promised their daughter to the Lu family. They got married in 1959, but Lu Wenqi died in 1960. She was pregnant at the time, and gave birth to Lu Jingya in the winter solstice at the end of the year.

The police also asked Lu Wenqi if there were any circumstances before and after his death, such as if anyone came to see him.

Yu Xiumei's face was cold, and her delicate eyebrows were knitted all the time. Although she was impatient, she still said, "Comrade Public Security, I can't remember some things after so many years. My husband is a militia company commander, and he sees a lot of people every day."

The police received Han Qingsong's hint and changed the subject, "Then let's talk about Hu Kaisheng."

Yu Xiumei's eyebrows trembled slightly, then she lowered her eyes to look at her crossed hands in front of her abdomen, and she said: "My father-in-law is a very kind person, and he takes good care of our family. After my mother-in-law passed away, he raised the three brothers. He also arranged my eldest uncle's marriage, and later he helped build the house. He cooks in a company in the county and doesn't come home often."

The police dug up old records and found the time when the case occurred in the county last year. They asked Yu Xiumei, "Did he go out for a long time last winter?"

Yu Xiumei: "I'm not sure, he comes home less often."

Han Qingsong signaled that this was the end of the conversation and said goodbye to Yu Xiumei.

Watching Han Qingsong and the police leave, Yu Xiumei stood at the door for a while before closing it and going back.

"Director Han, this Yu Xiumei is also a bit weird."

Han Qingsong: "Why do you say that?"

"Look at her. She's so cold. Her home is deserted. She's not warm to people at all."

"She is a widow." Han Qingsong said.

If she were too enthusiastic, especially towards men, she would be easily criticized.

"But she actually lives with her stepfather, Director Han, don't you think it's strange?"

Han Qingsong thought of the two spring stools tied to the cushions and said nothing. When they came out, some people were looking around at the street corner. When Han Qingsong and his friends passed by, those people scattered and ran faster than rabbits.

Han Qingsong led his men back to the brigade headquarters, and Dawang and the others had already asked questions and taken notes.

"Director Han, didn't Hu Kaisheng commit some crime?" Lu Wenming was very worried.

Han Qingsong glanced at him and asked, "What do you think of him?"

Lu Wenming hesitated for a moment, "Uncle Hu is a righteous man with great ability. He cooks really delicious food. During the three-year famine, many people in our village benefited from his help."

Han Qingsong: "Where did he get the food aid?"

Lu Wenming: "He's a cook in the county. Haha, we all know that a cook won't die of hunger even in a three-year drought."

Han Qingsong said coldly: "If you want to starve the chef, then you also want to starve his whole family and the whole village?"

Lu Wenming was startled. "Director Han, don't...say it without evidence."

Han Qingsong: "Didn't you say that?"

Lu Wenming: "I..." He said anxiously: "Director Han, it's not what you think. He helped us back then, but it was just a mouthful of porridge, and we were just trying to keep ourselves from starving to death."

During the three-year famine, only ordinary members died of starvation, and the brigade cadres did not die of starvation. After all, there was food in the village, collective labor and collective harvest, and food was also collectively stored and not distributed to households. It was obvious who died of starvation and who did not.

But he couldn't say this directly to the Public Security Bureau. It was something everyone knew.

Han Qingsong didn't say anything else, but got into the jeep with a stern face, waved to the police officers to get in and leave.

Da Wang rushed into the driver's seat with his long legs and went back to drive.

Han Qingsong deliberately didn't give Lu Wenming face in order to startle him. Hu Kaisheng would soon know that his attitude was not good and that something bad was going to happen. Then Hu Kaisheng would definitely make a move next. If he did, it would mean that he was scared.

After driving to the Qinghuai County Party Committee, several people got off the car and went to the Public Security Bureau first. Liu Jianyun had already greeted the deputy director Wang of the Qinghuai County Public Security Bureau, who was waiting there.

Director Wang is not very tall, with a baby face, and he looks particularly happy with a smile.

"Greetings to you, Mr. Han." He smiled and shook hands with Han Qingsong. He and Han Qingsong were old acquaintances. Whenever there were any interactions or trainings between the brother counties, they would meet each other. Sometimes they would also bump into each other at regional meetings.

Han Qingsong didn't even exchange pleasantries with him and went straight to the point of stating his purpose, which was to investigate the theft of the commune's grain last year.

Director Wang was stunned for a moment. "Director Han, why are you investigating something that happened last year?"

Han Qingsong: "There was a similar case in your county in 1960, but there has been no more cases of grain grabbing in your county since then."

Director Wang: That is because our county’s public security personnel are doing a great job and it is our pride!

Han Qingsong said calmly: "On the contrary, such incidents have increased in my county."

Director Wang: You really want to frame me? That's because you are incompetent!

He laughed dryly: "Director Han, what does this have to do with anything?"

Han Qingsong raised his eyebrows slightly and gave him a meaningful look, but said nothing, "Director Wang, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave first." He stood up and shook hands with Director Wang.

Director Wang was very nervous because of him. "Director Han, if there is any situation, please inform me. I will do my best to cooperate."

"Thank you." Han Qingsong took Dawang, Liu Jianyun and others back home.

Director Wang was actually feeling very nervous. He also knew Han Qingsong. This cold and hard man was not warm to people, but he did not deliberately target people. He was basically sure of what he did. Moreover, he was not polite to people. Judging from his attitude towards Hu Kaisheng, he was afraid that something was really wrong.

After some time, it was Laba Festival.

Lin Lan had received a call from her third son before. He was going to the United States to celebrate the New Year and could not come back. Since table tennis diplomacy improved relations, athlete diplomacy has become popular. Because Henry has spared no effort to promote him in the United States, Americans like this big boy with a innocent smile, and there is a strong call to invite him to the friendly match.

So he went.

At home, Han Qingsong went to exercise with Dawang as usual before dawn. Erwang cooked pork porridge, and Lin Lan took Mai Sui and Xiaowang to feed sausage.

Yesterday, Shanzui Village slaughtered a pig. Han Qingyun sent Lin Lan 20 kilograms of meat. Shanshui Farm also sent Han Qingsong a leg with a large rib. Other brigades and communes also sent some. There was no limit on the amount. Lin Lan paid according to the market price. If the supplies were not released, she would not be able to buy them even if she had money. Of course, she was grateful for such a good thing. At the end of the year, the homes of several senior cadres of the county revolutionary committee received pork from the commune and brigade. The only difference was that some gave money and some did not.

Lin Lan had wanted to make sausages for a long time, and had been looking for sausage casings everywhere. Now that she had the meat, she started to work. Last night, she asked her two sons to help cut the meat into small pieces and marinate them with the seasoning she prepared for half a night. This morning, she stuffed them directly, tied them up with hemp ropes, and hung them in the yard to dry.

Around eight o'clock, the children in the compound carried their bowls and went around to exchange for laba porridge with others. It was very lively and noisy.

The middle school was on vacation, and the children were finally free to play. Gao Ling and Gao Yu, two brothers, also came to join in the fun. When they entered the yard, they were stunned to see the rows of sausages hanging in Lin Lan's house.

"Aunt Lin, your family is really rich."

Look at these bunches of sausages!

Erwang asked, "Didn't you buy the meat and stuff it?"

Gao Yu: "My mother doesn't know how to do that. The jelly we have is in the yard."

Gao Ling: "Auntie Lin, please teach us and we will do it at home."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Our second brother knows how to do it. We'll ask him to help later."

After finishing the Laba porridge, Gao Ling went back and told her mother about it. Jiang Chunxia said she could make it and would go buy some sausage casings first.

Gao Ling came back to discuss with Da Wang and the others, "Let's go ice skating. We got some spinning tops and we can go and play together."

Da Wang is not interested. He has been working for the Public Security Bureau recently and can spend the whole day there during the holidays.

Xiao Wang went to find Lin Lan and said, "Mom, let's go to the reservoir to play. You haven't played at all this winter."

Lin Lan held her forehead with her hand and said, "Son, I feel dizzy."

The water was clear and deep, and standing on the ice was like walking on a transparent ladder to heaven, not to mention how scary it was.

Xiao Wang: "Mom, I'll accompany you. Didn't you say you had to be brave?"

Lin Lan said proudly, "Son, you are still young and have a long way to go. Be brave. Because you will have to protect your wife and children from the wind and rain in the future, right? I have your father to protect me from the wind and rain, so I don't need to be brave, haha."

The children were shocked by Lin Lan's theory.

Mai Sui: "Well, I have a father and brothers and sisters, so I don't think I need to be brave."

Gao Yu: "Sister Mai Sui, it's okay, my brother is here."

Gao Ling looked at her with starry eyes.

Mai Sui smiled at him and said, "I think the danger is coming. You can't outrun me!"

Gao Ling: ...This girl just can’t be too smart and capable, it will simply annoy people.

Finally, Lin Lan, accompanied by Han Qingsong, took a walk on the shore, enjoying the cool breeze, admiring the white earth and the dazzling blue sky in winter, watching the birds circling in the sky, and listening to the children chasing and playing enthusiastically.

Da Wang and his friends played with spinning tops on the ice for a while, and then he went ashore to be alone for a while. He climbed up the edge of the water gate, flipped over and easily climbed up, hiding there where no one could find him.

Standing high and seeing far, she could see her mother and father playing their childish ice-skating game again.

In the distance, there are pedestrians walking hurriedly on the road. Some are rushing into the city to buy New Year's goods, and some are coming to exchange some things so that they can go home for the New Year.

He actually saw Lu Jingya, she was talking to a man there, he immediately climbed down from the sluice gate and walked towards that road.

The land on both sides of the road was bare, with only scattered haystacks exposed to the cold wind, and the trees on the roadside could not provide shelter, so the place they chose to talk was a good one, as it could prevent others from eavesdropping.

"Yaya, I have already agreed with your uncle that you will join the army before the New Year."

"Grandpa, I've just gotten used to the school and I don't want to leave. Didn't we agree to go back next year?"

"Things have changed. Grandpa has decided to let you go this year. Once you go, just stay in the army."

"What's going on? Didn't you ask me to get closer to Han Wangguo? We often play ball and do morning exercises together. We are already friends."

Hu Kaisheng looked at her smiling face and sighed, "Silly child, is he still giving you extra lessons?"

"He himself doesn't like to study, and he hasn't helped me with anything." Lu Jingya laughed, "Now I study with the mutual aid group, it's good, no one excludes me."

"Yaya, have you played with Han Wangguo's brother and sister after school recently?"

Lu Jingya thought for a moment, "We often played together during breaks, but it was dark after school and everyone was in a hurry to go home, so no one played together." She paused, and the smile on her face dimmed, "You mean... he deliberately... didn't let me play with Han Maisui and the others?"

Hu Kaisheng didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was on guard against her.

Lu Jingya found it hard to accept and looked lonely, "It's all your fault. Why did you let me get close to him?"

If we don't get close to each other on purpose and just treat each other as normal classmates, maybe our relationship will be better.

Hu Kaisheng: "I didn't expect this. Grandpa calculated your fate and he is your destiny. You two are a match made in heaven. I don't know how wonderful it would be if you were together."

Lu Jingya blushed and turned away from his sight, "Grandpa, you are getting more and more coaxing. You have no idea what you are talking about, and you are talking about this."

"Yaya, Grandpa is doing this for your own good. Believe in Grandpa, he will never harm you, you are my...granddaughter. Grandpa treats your uncle and father as his own children, and he values ​​you the most among all his grandchildren. How can he not do this for your own good?"

His plan had always been to cultivate her skills on a daily basis, and when she was over 20 and could handle things, he would tell her the truth and hand over the business to her. Unfortunately, he did not expect that because of the idiot Lao Liu, he made a mistake last year and lost everything. Most of the business was damaged, and it would take another ten years to recover.

"You let me come and go, and I want a reason."

"The situation has changed. It's not good. It's safer for you to go to the army."

"What's wrong with the situation? The four have been arrested, and the situation in the country is very good."

"Let me be frank. Han Wangguo's father has doubts about you."

"Suspicious? What are you suspicious of me?" Lu Jingya was puzzled, and then her cheeks turned red. "I, I didn't think anything, I was just curious about Han Wangguo."

In the past few years, every time the third uncle came back to visit relatives, he would go out for a few days and come back to say that the child was pretty good. He looked at the bone structure and face, and he also gave the birth date to the grandfather to calculate. The grandfather calculated and said it was good. She overheard them saying that he and her were a perfect match. But later she was busy with training and didn't pay attention to these things. As a result, a while ago, the grandfather said that she should go to school across the county and said that she could get to know a student named Han Wangguo and make a good relationship with him.

Now you're asking her to transfer schools, isn't this just a joke?

Hu Kaisheng didn't think this would happen. He didn't expect that there would be such bizarre things in the world and that there would actually be prophets. It wasn't something as vague as fortune-telling, but there really were prophets.

Because of this psychic, Han Qingsong escaped a disaster, but his ten years of hard work was destroyed. The most troublesome thing was that Han Qingsong had already suspected him, and first went to the county committee, the brigade, and his family to inquire. Fortunately, although Han Qingsong was suspicious, the psychic's words could not be used as evidence, and he could not arrest himself.

But someone has set his sights on him, and he can no longer take any action. He can only comfort himself that as long as he is alive, he will never have to worry about having firewood to burn. For the time being, he will be a good cook and wait for his comeback.

It's not that he didn't think about killing Han Qingsong, but Han Qingsong was in his prime, and he was definitely no match for him at his age. The third brother could fight, but the third brother had a special identity and must not be involved.

Since he was being targeted, Yaya was naturally not safe either. He didn't want to expose his weakness to the police, so he had to get her away.

"Grandpa," Lu Jingya stared at him seriously, "Did you do something bad?"

Hu Kaisheng laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Grandpa is just a cook, what can he do?"

"Grandpa, you are a very good cook." Lu Jingya smiled, "Even a serious swordsman can't have a knife as sharp as yours."

"That's my grandfather's job, so of course he has to be skilled. My grandfather was really good at it back then. He originally wanted to leave a business for your uncle, but...it seems like there's nothing he needs to do now."

Leave a career behind. This was said before and Lu Jingya found it funny.

"Grandpa, we don't have to worry about food and drink now, what business do we need? Uncle San has a good future in the army, and I won't be too bad in the future either, so what business do you want to leave for us?"

"So, Grandpa has come to his senses and realized that he is overestimating his own abilities. You should hurry up and leave."

Lu Jingya watched a young man approaching from a distance. She stared at him carefully and whispered, "Grandpa, this is Han Wangguo."

Hu Kaisheng turned his head and glanced, "It's vacation time, hurry home, we'll be leaving in two days." He put his hands in the pockets of his cotton jacket and turned to go in the other direction.

Da Wang walked along the side of the road as if he didn't see her.

Lu Jingya smiled and said, "Han Wangguo, what a coincidence?"

Da Wang looked at her and saw that the old man had already left. "We are skating at the reservoir."

Lu Jingya immediately became interested, "Can I join?"

Da Wang nodded: "You go." He continued walking forward.

Lu Jingya turned around and caught up with him, "Han Wangguo, someone said you were investigating me?"

Da Wang remained calm and expressionless, saying, "The police are investigating your grandfather."

"Did he do something wrong?" Lu Jingya stared at him with her black and white eyes.

Da Wang: "Do you think he's weird?"

Lu Jingya laughed, "My grandpa? He's just a normal old man, what's so strange about him? If there's anything strange about him, it's that he's kind to people. He's nice to everyone, and no matter how rude or mean the villagers are, they all respect him."

"Was your father adopted?" Da Wang asked.

Lu Jingya was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's okay to tell you."

"Have you recognized your relationship?"

"Everyone in that village died. There's nothing to recognize there."

"Your father was very lucky."

The world was in a tough time back then, and people couldn't even raise their own children, yet there were still people willing to adopt others.

Lu Jingya nodded, "I think so too. When my grandfather picked up my father, he wanted to adopt him himself, but he was not married, and it was inconvenient for a grown man to take care of a child. Later, my grandparents said that since there was already a child at home, it would not matter if there was another one, so they kept my father."

Seeing Dawang's puzzled expression, she smiled and said, "You are confused. My father was picked up by my step-grandfather, and later passed on to my grandfather."

Da Wang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "I'm going to the Public Security Bureau. If you want to play, go find them."

Lu Jingya: "No, I want to go to the Public Security Bureau to ask my grandfather something." Although Hu Kaisheng said it lightly, she also had some vague guesses in her heart. There are many things that she never thinks about carefully, and if she thinks about them carefully, they are also very suspicious.

The two went to the Public Security Bureau together, and Luo Haicheng, Han Qingyun and others happened to come back with Liu Haozhe.

Da Wang introduced Lu Jingya to Liu Jianyun and let them talk on their own while he went to find Luo Haicheng and Han Qingyun.

Han Qingyun has become a father. He looks more stable now and even grows a mustache on purpose to look like a mature man.

"Wang Guo, where is the Korean Bureau?" the two asked him.

Da Wang glanced at Liu Haozhe and said, "I'm skating."

Luo Haicheng and Han Qingyun looked at each other. They smiled and took Liu Haozhe to a solitary room in the courtyard.

Da Wang followed to see what was going on and asked Luo Haicheng.

Luo Haicheng: "The Han Bureau's plan requires drastic measures."

Da Wang understood immediately.

After a while, Lu Jingya said goodbye, came out and saw Da Wang, said hello to him and left.

Da Wang saw that her face looked more serious than before, so he went to find Liu Jianyun and asked, "What did you say to her?"

Liu Jianyun smiled and said, "I said that the Public Security Bureau investigated her grandfather and suspected that he had collaborated with the enemy when he cooked for the Japanese puppet army. She was very angry because Hu Kaisheng had saved many anti-Japanese patriots and the Eighth Route Army, and those people are still alive and grateful for his life-saving grace."

If Hu Kaisheng had not saved people, those people would still be alive and could repay the favor. Just because Hu Kaisheng cooked for the Japanese, he would definitely be implicated after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

When classifying people, there were not only five red and five black categories, but five levels and dozens of identities. Those who had served the Japanese army, puppet army, or national army, even if they were captured or forced to do so, were all suspected during the liquidation, and they had to undergo labor reform and be criticized in meetings.

They were treated differently from the landlords' regular and short-term workers and maids.

Hu Kaisheng was able to serve these three parties without getting hurt. If we think about it carefully, he would definitely be criticized and liquidated.

So it's not a big deal for Liu Jianyun to bring it up, but it's not so easy for the person's family to accept.

At noon, Han Qingsong took Lin Lan and the children home. Lin Lan and the children cooked, while Han Qingsong went to the Public Security Bureau for a meeting. Da Wang was also allowed to attend the meeting. Han Qingsong made some arrangements, and then they went to eat.

It gets dark very early in Leon. After four o'clock, it is not very bright, especially in the low cell, which has only a small window at the top, one foot long and half a foot wide. The door is a thick wooden board, and only the gap can let light in. So the cell is dark and cold, almost freezing.

Liu Haozhe lay in a pile of grass on the cell floor, shivering with cold. He felt very uneasy, not knowing what would happen next.

The old man sent someone to deliver a letter to him, telling him not to be afraid, and that he would be released openly. Their plan was to have someone transfer Han Qingsong back to the army so that he would no longer be in charge of the county's public security affairs.

He reported to Fan Yikun as instructed, and as a result Fan Yikun was transferred back to the city, and now he has also returned.

Sure enough, the old man still has great powers.

At this moment, a girl's sharp voice suddenly came from next door, "Let me out, let me out, I have a secret to tell you!"

Soon, the police came in next door and someone shouted in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, are you trying to kill yourself?"

Liu Haozhe immediately stuck to the wall and moved around like a gecko, putting his ear against the wall and trying to find a place where he could hear clearly.

The cells were made of drywall. They looked thick, but actually had many holes inside and were not very soundproof. Finally, he found a place.

"I confess, I confess everything. I saw an old man, everyone called him Grandpa, he had several bosses under him, they were the ones who killed Director Han..."

"I saw a few other people, one of whom was named Liu, and he..."

The more Liu Haozhe listened, the more frightened he became. His blood almost froze. It was too unbelievable!!!

Impossible!

The woman in the cell next door could actually... actually foresee the little secrets in his heart! Han Jinyu didn't know these secrets, let alone anyone else.

Could it be that she is really a prophet?

Liu Haozhe's feelings at this moment were a hundred times stronger than Shen Yu's at the beginning, and he was almost about to collapse.

"He knows the grandfather." said the person next door.

Liu Haozhe was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. No, no, no, I don’t know him, I don’t know him, I didn’t see his face, he always told the police this.

"I can see my grandfather's face, and I said, you guys draw it."

"He is not very tall, likes to walk with his hands behind his back, likes to listen to opera, is good at wielding a knife, he..." Caihua from next door said according to Liu Jianyun's instructions. She has never seen her grandfather, but now the police have identified him as Hu Kaisheng, and judging by his appearance, there is basically no difference.

Some police officers complained, "Catch this old man and shoot him together with Liu Haozhe. Let him cover up and deny it!"

"Comrade Public Security, I have given you so many prophecies, but you... must let me go."

"Don't worry, we at the Public Security Bureau still rely on you and will protect you well. Don't stay in the cell, go to the office and warm up your hot soup noodles."

Soon, there was a rustling sound next door, and then the door closed and someone left.

Liu Haozhe sat on the cold ground for half the night, and finally he suddenly figured it out. He jumped up, rushed over and banged on the door, "I have something to say!"

He thought clearly that although what the prophet said was true, it could not be used as evidence. But he could, he could recognize his ancestor.

Even if his face is covered, I can recognize him as long as he appears.

I can recognize his voice, his movements, his body shape, and even some of his little quirks. After all, he taught me so many ways to train women, so I naturally got to know him very well through close contact.

These are even more distinctive than a person's face!

At around four o'clock, Han Qingsong got up and went downstairs. At this time, someone came to knock on the door.

"Director Han, Director Han!" Luo Haicheng's loud and suppressed voice really spoiled the mood in the dark morning.

Han Qingsong went to open the door.

Luo Haicheng raised his thumb and said, "Since Liu Haozhe is willing to cooperate with the identification, we can go and fetch Hu Kaisheng."

Han Qingsong: "Be careful to protect Caihua and Liu Haozhe."

"Don't worry, Director Han, we are following the plan and being careful."

Da Wang also followed.

At half past six, Han Qingsong and Dawang came back to eat, but they were called to the Public Security Bureau after taking just two bites.

The police officer on duty yawned, "Han Bureau, Commander Chen of the military district is on the phone."

Han Qingsong frowned. Military division, Commander Chen? Commander Chen usually called him during working hours, but never in such a hurry.

He thought about it, made a gesture, stepped out lightly, and waved to say a few words to Luo Haicheng.

Luo Haicheng rushed into the office and shouted, "I went to Director Han's house to call him, but he's not home. He's out. Where is the phone number from?"

The police on duty saw that he was acting like a drama queen and immediately cooperated, "Military Division, Commander Chen, quickly call Director Han."

Luo Haicheng panted heavily, looking extremely tired. "No, not at home. I rode my bike out. I don't know where I went."

The police officer on duty picked up the phone shyly, not daring to breathe, "Chief, Chief...beep beep..."

It's already dead there.

Luo Haicheng ran to find Han Qingsong, "Director Han is very good at predicting things."

Han Qingsong: "Before Hu Kaisheng was caught, anyone who looked for him was told to say I was not there."
