Fan Ming, the captain of the first production brigade, got up early and prepared to go to the brigade headquarters to arrange today's production team work tasks.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the brigade office, he saw a scene that shocked him: the blackboard newspaper outside the wall had been destroyed.
What was destroyed was the most critical part in the middle, the leader’s portrait!
Before, it was shining with golden light and looked as awesome as it could be, very much to everyone’s liking, and even won praise from the commune leaders. But now, it looks like a ghost after being painted all over.
It's fine if the others were wiped out, but what is this? A blatant insult! You have to know that in the minds of the people, the glorious image of the leader is above everything else! He led everyone to turn the tables and become the master, just like a god.
Fan Ming was furious at the time, "Who is this? Who did this? How could they paint the leader's portrait to look like a ghost?!"
Just at this moment, a villager named Lu Dapao passed by. He saw the team leader losing his temper and then looked at the blackboard on the wall and immediately understood what was going on.
Not to mention that the good-tempered team leader would be angry about this, any villager in the village would be unhappy about it.
Not to mention that this blackboard newspaper brought honor to their village. What’s more important is that the God in everyone’s mind cannot tolerate anyone treating it like this. It’s almost like digging up the villagers’ ancestral graves for eight generations. They will definitely not play any jokes on you.
"Captain, I know what's going on." Lu Dapao walked up to Captain Fan Ming and reported.
Captain Fan Ming was worried about not being able to find the suspect. This time, there happened to be an insider. Captain Fan Ming pricked up his ears and asked, "Who is it? Tell me, who did this? I will definitely punish him severely."
Lu Dapao told the team leader Fan Ming what he saw: "This morning when I was carrying manure to the private plot, I saw Sun Gousheng standing in front of the blackboard and looking at it for a long time. There was no one else there at the time except me. When I came back, I found that the blackboard had become like this."
In fact, it was like this when Lu Dapao went there, but he didn't notice it.
When mentioning Sun Gousheng, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the bloody plot between him and Huang Yuelan.
Before, Sun Gousheng despised Huang Yuelan and abandoned her. Now, the situations of the two people can be said to be heaven and earth apart. There is no comparison at all.
Huang Yuelan already has five children and is pregnant with another; Sun Gousheng has no children at all. He has changed wives many times but has no children at all.
If he committed sabotage, he must have had a motive. After all, his life was very unhappy and he was jealous that Huang Yuelan was living a better life than him. When he saw that the blackboard newspaper drawn by Huang Yuelan was praised by the county, he thought of destroying it. It makes sense.
At this time, more and more villagers came to the entrance of the brigade office waiting for their tasks. Everyone saw the damaged blackboard and talked about it in a low voice.
After listening to Lu Dapao's words, everyone agreed that it was most likely Sun Gousheng who did it.
"Sun Gousheng, tell him to come to my office immediately." Fan Ming was rarely angry.
At this time, Sun Gousheng's mother happened to rush over and said, "Captain, what do you want to talk to my son about? My son has asked for leave to go to Team 8 today."
"If he doesn't want to work, why would he go to Team 8?" asked the team leader Fan Ming. Isn't this a sign of a guilty conscience and a deliberate attempt to escape?
Sun's mother quickly explained the whole story: "His aunt introduced him to a widow with two children. She wanted to get to know her, so she asked him to go and take a look. Captain, what do you want from my son?"
Before, she had various requirements when looking for a daughter-in-law. In addition to being good-looking, she also had to be able to earn work points. Now, as long as she doesn't dislike her son and can give her son a companion for the rest of his life, she will be satisfied.
"Look at this blackboard, these are all your son's masterpieces!" Team leader Fan Ming said, pointing at the blackboard.
When Sun's mother glanced at the blackboard, she was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
Even though she was illiterate, she understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly explained on behalf of her son: "Captain, this was definitely not done by my son. Although my son is a little lazy and doesn't like to work, he is definitely not a bad person or stupid. He would not do such a stupid thing. Even a fool would know the consequences. Someone must have wronged him."
Team leader Fan Ming was also puzzled. He felt that everyone in the village should have some sense of collective honor, so how could they do such a thing?
"Lu Dapao, did you see it clearly? Did you see Sun Gousheng painting the wall?" Captain Fan Ming asked again.
Lu Dapao: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I did see him looking at the blackboard for a long time when I went there this morning."
"Okay, so it was you who framed my son. How come you, a big talker, are more annoying than a gossip woman? You didn't see my son smearing with your own eyes, but you blamed my son for the sabotage. How could you be so mean? I also saw you with Sun Laoer's wife. Based on this reasoning, you two must have been having an affair!" When Sun's mother knew that Lu Dapao had framed her son, she immediately shifted the gun and shot directly at Lu Dapao.
Lu Dapao was speechless for a moment. "I'm just telling the truth. What's the matter? You won't let me speak?"
"You are saying all sorts of things. I tell you so many people have seen the blackboard newspaper. Why don't you talk about others? Didn't you see it?" Sun's mother asked questions repeatedly, pointing her finger at Lu Dapao's nose and scolding him, almost giving him a slap in the face.
In the quarrel, Lu Dapao was obviously no match for Sun's mother and was defeated in terms of momentum.
However, impressions are preconceived. Since Lu Dapao said that he had seen Sun Gousheng, everyone basically believed that it was Sun Gousheng who said it, which is also why Sun's mother was angry.
Captain Fan Ming calmed down and thought for a while. He felt that there were still some doubts about this matter. Although Lu Dapao saw Sun Gousheng reading the blackboard newspaper here, he did not see him erase it with his own eyes.
There is no direct evidence, so the facts cannot be clearly determined and the crime cannot be established.
"Okay, I will slowly investigate this matter and arrange today's production tasks first." The production task is the top priority.
It doesn't concern them and most people just want to watch the fun. It doesn't matter if it's Sun Gousheng or Zhang Gousheng, as long as it wasn't done by them, it's fine.
After everyone received their tasks and started working, team leader Fan Ming began to survey the scene.
He found an important clue: there were two large handprints on the blackboard, which were left by applying powder on the blackboard after smearing the portrait.
This big handprint has a very obvious feature: the ring finger of the left hand is missing a part.
Based on this clue, Fan Ming basically ruled out Sun Gousheng as a suspect.
Although Sun Gousheng's character was not commendable, in terms of appearance, no one in Hongqi Commune could match him except Wang Jianguo. Not only was he good-looking, but he also had all four limbs intact, without any missing thumbs or toes.
