Chapter 151: The Aspirations of the People
That's a lot going on in a week.
When the reporter arrived at the scene at the entrance of Dayangtun Village at noon the next day, Li Dinglai, a villager whose new house had been destroyed by the fire, was sitting by the rubble and crying bitterly. According to the villagers who participated in the firefighting the night before, Li Dinglai, who had escaped from the fire, woke up for the first time that night and saw that the new house he had devoted all his efforts and savings to get married had been burned down before it was built, and he quickly fainted from tears again......
Regarding the cause of the fire, the local police claimed that it was 'still under investigation'. However, the villagers of Dayangtun have said that it does not look like an accidental fire. 'Even if he accidentally set fire to something, it's raining, how can it burn so hard?' said one villager. Usually he lives alone, and all the things he gets away with are piled up in that room, and if he doesn't pay attention to catch fire to something, the house where he lives should be the one that burns first, right? But this house didn't splash sparks. ’……
The villagers' accounts made the truth of the fire even more confusing, but the reporter later learned from an insider of the Dayangtun village committee that the location of Li Dinglai's newly built house actually overlapped with a road up the mountain planned by the village committee. This highway is an ancillary project of the 'growing dried fruits and getting rich' plan vigorously promoted by the Dayangtun Village Committee, which was reported by Yiteng.com not long ago.
However, the construction of this road has not yet started, and during the day on the day of the fire, many people in the village witnessed seven or eight middle-aged men from the village committee coming to the construction site of Li Dinglai's new house......
The above is an excerpt from a report published on Yiteng.com on the third day of the fire of Li Sanlaizi's house, titled "A fire broke out on a rainy night in the newly built house of the villagers of Dayangtun, and the cause of the fire is doubtful and inconclusive". Dayangtun, these three words at the beginning, this accompanied by "the village committee concealed that it had refused to return a large amount of investment to the hometown of foreign businessmen", "the son of the village party secretary was suspected of raping a left-behind woman", "the son of the village party secretary involved in the case was released, and the police explained vaguely" and other reports, and the place name that was hyped on the Internet several times ago climbed to the headlines of Yiteng again through this fire, evoking the memory of the majority of netizens that it was already tired. Not only netizens, but news audiences across the country were also firmly drawn to the event this week. While keeping an eye on it, people left their opinions on the Internet message board are basically the same, and everyone naturally believes that it is the Dayangtun Village Committee that is in the way of building the road, and intends to demolish it with obscenity. Some experienced commenters further pointed out that there is a black hand behind the village committee. "Just how powerful can a group of village officials be, and they dare to be so lawless without backing?"
In Dayangtun Village, this sensational news outside the village was spread by the children who went to the Internet café, but the villagers were not very interested in who burned Li Sanlaizi's house and how it was burned, and their attention was almost entirely focused on the road up the mountain that coincided with the site of the house that was built in the news. They had never heard of the news of building this road before, and this road was part of the plan of "Lao Jiu" and "growing dried fruits to get rich", so the connection couldn't help but arouse the reverie of the villagers. Soon, rumors arose in the village, saying that the village committee led by "Lao Jiu" had concealed the matter of building roads, and that in addition to the beautiful vision depicted by "Lao Jiu" in the plan to "plant dried fruits," there were many situations that were kept secret from everyone, and these secrets were not necessarily good things for everyone, otherwise why should they be kept secret? Planting dried fruits" plan, as for the end, refer to the house that blocked their road construction. This kind of rumor contains a consensus hint, and the people in the village secretly discuss it, hoping to go directly to the village committee to discuss the explanation, but they themselves dare not go.
It's just that some of the people's discussions inevitably reached the ears of "Lao Jiu", but he was no longer able to make any explanations and justifications, and such discussions now constituted the pressure exerted on him by the lower levels, and the pressure from the upper levels struck him, making him feel like he was on pins and needles, anxious and helpless.
As soon as the new blockbuster report of Yiteng Network came out, the response in the town and county was surprisingly fast, and the phone calls from the top leaders of these two levels of organs made the "Lao Jiu" overwhelmed. The mayor of the town pointed out that he was ineffective in administration, which had smeared the ranks of cadres and had caused a bad social impact in the region, and the county magistrate reprimanded him for failing to protect the safety of people's lives and property, worsening the relationship between cadres and the masses, and undermining the harmonious development of the county. In the end, they all strictly ordered the "old nine" to make a deep review, and the county magistrate also warned him that if the matter could not be properly resolved as soon as possible, he would be ready to take corresponding responsibility.
This sounds like a notice to force him to step down, but "Lao Jiu" is a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering. He was annoyed by the leader's rebuke and the thoughts of the villagers, and he was saddened by another piece of information -- the report mentioned "an insider of the village committee." "Lao Jiu" had already guessed who this insider was, and there were not many members of the village committee who knew about the road construction plan, so it was not difficult to determine the identity of the person who knew about it, "Lao Jiu" preferred to call him an informer. It's him...... No wonder it has always been him, and I never thought of it! Why is it him? Although he is completely sure of his own judgment, "Lao Jiu" is still full of surprise and resentment and asks in his heart.
"Lao Luo, you don't have to go to this case, stay at home. "At the town police station, the leader stopped Lao Luo and his apprentices who were about to go to the scene of the fire in the house. "Why?" the leader blocked in front of him, Lao Luo was not convinced, and his eyes widened. "This case is very serious, and the superiors attach great importance to it, so I am personally responsible for the investigation. After speaking, the leader still smiled contemptuously at Lao Luo, and the subtext contained in it was: "You are not qualified enough to investigate this case." "But this fire may be related to the previous case in Dayangtun. Lao Luo couldn't tell whether he was fighting for an opportunity or fighting with the leader, "I investigated the previous case very carefully, and I should be called this time, I can find out the connection between them." The leader shook his head solemnly: "Related? Maybe? Lao Luo, we have to talk about evidence in handling the case, how can we make subjective assumptions? You are also an old public security officer, how can you not pay attention to this? Don't say more, obey the arrangements of the office, and go back." ”
The leader turned around and took his subordinates into the police car, and left Lao Luo standing in the yard. When the two apprentices saw that the master was motionless, they did not dare to move. Lao Luo's face was already purple.
