The snowstorm that had raged for dozens of days finally stopped.
As the roads were cleared and the power lines that had been broken by the heavy snow were repaired, electricity was gradually restored to the cadre schools in various communes, and contact with the outside world was finally restored.
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, comrades from the County Revolutionary Committee and the County Public Security Bureau overcame the difficulties of the road and walked for several hours to reach Liulin Farm Commune.
The murder case in Liulin Farm Commune had a very bad impact. It was reported up one level at a time and attracted the attention of departments at all levels. Even Minister Yang from the province called to inquire about it.
The County Revolutionary Committee made a special trip to report the situation of Liulin Farm Commune to Minister Yang Hongxun over the phone.
When Yang Hongxun heard that Lin Wanjun used her superb medical skills to treat more than ten seriously injured patients and provided timely assistance when the cadre school's granary was destroyed, her tone was full of pride.
"Well, I was worried that Junjun would get hurt, but after all this fuss, she's still a hero!"
Yang Hongxun couldn't stop laughing and shouted "good" several times.
"Bushi, do you know Lin Wan-jun?"
The director of the county revolutionary committee spoke respectfully, and when he heard Yang Hongxun call Lin Wanjun "Junjun" in a very intimate and familiar way, he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. Junjun calls my daughter aunt. Tell me, do I know her?"
The director stood up immediately, his face filled with shock.
This, this, this...
Although Minister Yang had only one daughter, there were rumors that Minister Yang's son was already engaged before his death.
Could it be that Minister Yang’s son left behind a posthumous child?
Otherwise, how could Lin Wanjun call Yang Jingru "Auntie"?
Yang Hongxun cleared his throat and said, "Although Junjun is one of our family, you don't have to take care of her. Reward her as you wish and criticize her if she makes a mistake."
After a pause, Yang Hongxun said, "Please tell Junjun that if the road conditions permit, I will send a car to pick her up and bring her home to celebrate the New Year."
"We all miss her."
With Yang Hongxun's words, the staff of the County Revolutionary Committee did not dare to slack off or be lax in the slightest.
Adhering to the principles of objectivity and fairness, they conducted a comprehensive investigation into the explosion of the cadre school's grain warehouse and the collapse of the Liulin Farm Commune auditorium, which resulted in deaths.
Wei Yifu reported the situation to his superiors while sitting in a simple wheelchair.
"If Xiaolin hadn't brought people to rescue me, I would have died in the snow!"
In response to inquiries from comrades from the county revolutionary committee, Wei Yifu truthfully reported the situation at the time.
After hearing about the many dangers encountered during the rescue process and how Lin Wanjun sacrificed herself to save Song Zhanjin, the two female comrades were so shocked that they covered their mouths.
"You... aren't you afraid of death?"
Moreover, the man she saved betrayed her, had an affair with another woman, and even kicked her out of the house.
If it happened to them, humph, the bastards would die quickly!
Lin Wanjun smiled.
"If I fight, he still has a chance to survive. If I ignore him, he will die."
Song Mingcheng said, "During the days when we lost contact with the outside world, Lin Wanjun stepped forward several times to save everyone's lives, especially the 5,000 kilograms of food she sent when the cadre school was in a critical situation..."
"I'm not exaggerating. If it weren't for her, who knows how many people would have starved to death in our cadre school!"
The comrades of the County Revolutionary Committee nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, we must commend you, and we must give you the highest honor, especially Comrade Xiaolin for your timely assistance and food assistance. I plan to have a reporter from the provincial newspaper do a special interview with you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanjun directly refused.
Are you kidding me?
The food issue simply cannot stand up to scrutiny. If it were to appear in the newspapers, her "lie" would be exposed quickly. How would she explain it then?
"I just took advantage of the food issue. The one who truly coordinated the overall situation was actually Minister Yang!"
Lin Wanjun said, "Minister Yang was prepared to arrange this batch of food as a backup, but as you know, he is a low-key and humble person and would not use this incident to gild himself."
Clearing her throat, she pretended to be mysterious and said, "Let me tell you the truth. This batch of grain was actually obtained by Minister Yang illegally..."
Having said this, everyone present understood.
No wonder Minister Yang didn't mention the source of the food on the phone, but just kept praising Lin Wanjun.
Yes, although Minister Yang is considering the people, the operation is illegal after all. It will be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives finds evidence of it.
So the comrades of the County Revolutionary Committee changed their opinions.
"A commendation is definitely necessary, Comrade Kobayashi. Don't refuse it, but we can discuss the focus of the commendation!"
The other person said, "The provincial newspaper reporter may not report on the food issue, but he can report on your medical treatment and saving lives. Our county is planning to establish an exemplary figure, and I think you are a great person!"
A comrade in charge of education made the proposal.
"Director, our county has quotas for workers, peasants, and soldiers to enroll in university. I think Xiaolin is perfect. No one is more suitable for medical school than her!"
"Right, right, right! You reminded me of that!"
The director nodded repeatedly and said, "Go back and prepare the relevant materials and recommend Xiaolin to go to university!"
The surprise came too quickly and Lin Wanjun was a little caught off guard.
"Is this...is this appropriate?"
Without waiting for the director to speak, Qin Sijun smiled and said, "Silly girl, what's wrong with this? You already have superb medical skills. If you go to medical school for further studies, you can become a famous doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded in the future. This is a good thing for the benefit of the people!"
After some discussion, it was basically decided that Lin Wanjun would go to university.
Next, they had to carry out the second task assigned by the county comrades here - to interrogate Dong Yingying.
So many lives have been lost. Even if the murderer is Meng Yongli, even if she is dead, the mastermind behind the scenes is still at large. The case cannot be concluded so hastily.
A working group composed of the County Revolutionary Committee and the County Public Security Bureau interrogated Dong Yingying.
As expected, Dong Yingying refused to admit it and even turned against Meng Yongli, saying that everything was instigated and coerced by Meng Yongli and that she was also a victim.
But it doesn’t matter, Lin Wanjun had already predicted Dong Yingying’s reaction.
She immediately brought Zhao Shuping to the police and asked her to explain in detail how she was an accomplice to Dong Yingying.
"No! Dong Yingying and I have nothing to do with each other!"
Zhao Shuping, who had already confessed, suddenly denied it and refused to admit her collusion with Dong Yingying.
"Comrade, Lin Wanjun threatened me with violence. She told me to accuse Dong Yingying according to her instructions, but... but I really didn't do those things!"
"Dong Yingying and Lin Wanjun have a conflict, that's their own business. I just had a small conflict with her, and she forced me to lie and perjure myself. I... I can't go against my conscience!"
Zhao Shuping knelt in front of the police comrades, crying bitterly.
She was frightened that day and told everything.
But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, I realized that I had made a big mistake.
The only person who knew that she was Dong Yingying's helper is dead. As long as she denies it, no one can do anything to her!
Such a sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Originally, as long as Zhao Shuping confessed truthfully, the facts of Dong Yingying's crime would be basically clear, and the next step would be the sentencing and conviction process.
But now...
