My father has two hobbies in his life, one is hunting, the other is fishing, usually when he patrols the mountains, he carries a shotgun on his shoulder, and when he comes back at night, there must always be some game in the basket, and when it rains, he wears a raincoat to the Shijiu Lake under the mountain to fish.

The young man pushed open the firewood door, and there were two thatched huts in a small courtyard, and under the eaves hung rows of air-dried game and salted dried fish.

The door of the hut was hidden.

The young man pushed open the door of the hut, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit the lamp on the small table, on the west side of the hut was the stove, and on the east side was the bed, in addition to the bed and a small table, there was a rattan chair and a few small bamboo chairs, and by the window in front of the bed hung a fish basket and a shotgun, and in the corner there were several pairs of fishing rods, and a net for keeping fish and a fish copy for fishing.

There are two iron pots, one large and one small, on the stove, and there are several bowls and bottles and jars in the hole in the wall of the stove. Next to the stove there is also a small water tank with a wooden lid on which a water scoop is placed.

Mao Yiping walked to the stove and opened the lid of the pot in turn, there were several cooked sweet potatoes in the small iron pot, Mao Yiping touched it with his hand, and the sweet potatoes were cold. There are also two thermos on the stovetop.

Mao Yiping carried a hot water bottle, one of which had water in it, Mao Yiping washed a few bowls, poured a few bowls of water, and walked for more than an hour on the mountain road, everyone was a little thirsty.

When the young man entered the mountains, he bought some braised vegetables and steamed buns in the town.

There is a vegetable patch outside the chaimen.

One of them made a fire, the other made a vegetable and egg soup, and the young man also found dozens of bird eggs smaller than eggs in a jar.

Lin Di picked up the bowl and was just about to drink water, when he suddenly stood up, and the water in the bowl spilled onto his pants.

Zhao Zimeng fixed his eyes and saw that it was a dog with a pitch-black body rushing into the hut.

The black dog rushed to the stove and sprinkled joy around Mao Yiping's knees.

"My father is back." Mao Yiping rushed out of the hut, followed by the big black dog.

"Daddy!" probably hadn't seen her father for a few days, and Mao Yiping was a little excited.

"Yiping, why are you here? Is something wrong? ”

"Come in—you'll know when you get inside." Mao Yiping removed the basket from the back of the head of the Mao District, and there were some prey in the basket.

"From afar, I smelled the fireworks. Yiping, who accompanied you up the mountain? ”

"It was Chunsheng who accompanied me."

Zhao Zimeng and the others had already walked out of the hut.

"Mayor Mao, hello!" Director Gu said loudly.

The old man lowered his head, bent over, walked up to Director Gu, and looked carefully, there was a shotgun hanging from his shoulder.

"Old District Chief, you don't know me anymore."

"I recognize it, isn't this Xiao Gu from the police station?"

"Dad, he is now the director of the police station."

"The wind that brought you here? Go, go to the house and sit - do it in the house. The old man said as he led everyone into the house.

The long voice of the Mao District is like a bell, the movements are flexible, and the whole person looks very energetic. It's just that the back is a little hunched.

Director Gu introduced Zhao Zimeng and others to the mayor of Mao District one by one.

In the end, it was someone who had been a leader, and District Mayor Mao had already guessed everyone's intentions: "You must have encountered some case." ”

"Mayor Mao, we're here and want to ask you some questions."

"The matter of the case, I'll talk about it later, let's solve the stomach problem first, and then we'll talk slowly. Chunsheng, simmer a pheasant, a hare, and simmer a salted fish, Yiping, you go to take a hand, wash it and simmer it again, it is difficult for them to get me here, let them have a fragrant mouth—you can't eat these wild foods in the big city. ”

So, Mao Yiping and Chunsheng were busy on the stove.

District Mayor Mao is a cheerful person, and after explaining everything, District Mayor Mao's conversation box opened: "Captain Zhao, what do you want to ask?" Just ask! The mayor took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, and in the cloth was placed tobacco and a small pile of rectangular pieces of paper cut from an exercise book, and the mayor took out a few pieces of paper and began to roll paper cigarettes.

In the blink of an eye, District Chief Mao rolled four paper cigarettes and handed them to Zhao Zimeng and others.

Zhao Zimeng, who had not smoked for a long time, did not want to sweep the mayor of Mao, so he took the cigarette from the head of Mao.

The mayor of the Mao District picked up the hood lamp and lit everyone's paper cigarettes.

"Mayor Mao, Che Rengui, do you still have an impression?"

"Cha Rengui? Isn't it President Che and Director Che? ”

"Mayor Mao, you have a good memory." Director Gu said.

"When we first liberated, Che Rengui was a model of the industrial and commercial circles that we set, and we entrusted him with the work of the Chamber of Commerce.

"We found his body in the cracks in the brick walls of his rental house."

"Tell me about the general situation of the case."

So, Zhao Zimeng described the outline of the case.

"Captain Zhao, what do you want to ask?"

"Che Renju, do you still have an impression?"

"Che Renju is Che Rengui's younger brother, and in 1950, he was ** by the people."

"What charges?"

"He had a blood debt on his hands, and when Chiang Kai-shek left Nanjing, he killed a large number of political prisoners, and Che Renju was one of the responsible persons."

"How do you know?"

At that time, just after liberation, the society was not very stable, and we set up a public security section according to the instructions of the municipal party committee, and the matter of Che Renju was in charge of Section Chief Li. Section Chief Li reported this matter to me - the district party committee also held a meeting to study this matter, and finally reported it to the municipal party committee for approval. ”

"Che Rengui turned out to be a businessman, how could he go to the district ** to work?"

Soon after the liberation, Che Rengui responded to the call of the public-private partnership, and handed over several stores of the Che family to the state, and the municipal party committee instructed to take Che Renguishu as a typical example, and he served as the president of the chamber of commerce, we felt it was more appropriate, and we agreed."

"We heard that it was Che Rengui who reported Che Renju, do you know about this?"

"I only know that Che Rengui and Deputy District Chief Li have a very close relationship, he often goes to Deputy District Chief Li's office, I have just transferred from the army to the locality, Deputy District Chief Li is a local cadre with roots and roots, Che Renju's affairs are in charge of Deputy District Chief Li, and only he knows the detailed situation."

"Where is this man now?"

"In Zhenjiang Prison."

"Zhenjiang Prison?"

"Yes, he was later transferred to the city ** in charge of the industrial and commercial circles, and later made a mistake and was sentenced to life imprisonment."

"What crime have you committed?"

"In addition to corruption and bribery, he also raised a woman outside, this woman was bent on being a legal husband and wife with him, forced Deputy District Chief Li to divorce his wife, and threatened him with a public relationship between the two, Deputy District Chief Li caused a car accident in a desperate situation, and sent his lover to the ghost gate."

"The woman lost the bottom with her sister before the accident, if she had an accident, it must be related to the surname Li, after the woman's accident, the sister reported the case to the police, and the inside story of Deputy District Mayor Li's murder of her lover surfaced. Originally, the death penalty was imposed, but because of the search for a competent person and the compensation of a large amount of money to the relatives of the deceased, the death sentence was changed to life imprisonment. ”

"What's Deputy District Chief Li's name?" Zhao Zimeng took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket.

"It's called Li Chengbing."

Did Deputy District Chief Li accept a bribe from Che Rengui? Che Rengui has been in business for many years, and he inherited a large amount of property from the Che family, and there is a lot of silver in his pocket. Che Rengui only relies on his keen sense of smell and the nature of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, I am afraid it will be difficult to get an official position in the officialdom; In the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, the salaries of leading cadres were not very high, and Li Chengbing kept his lover, where did the money come from?

Buying and selling official positions has a long history of history, and of course, when the world is reversed and confused, the atmosphere of buying and selling official positions will be more prevalent.

"Now, I finally understand what's going on."

"Mayor Mao, what do you want to say?"

"That Deputy District Chief Li strongly recommended Che Rengui to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and several of his accomplices also sang and harmonized, and I had just transferred from the army to the locality, and my eyes were black - I dared to fall for them."

"The surname Li is indeed very good at winning people's hearts, and there are many cadres close to him in the compound of the district party committee. This person has a very complicated background, and he became the deputy district chief at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, which was rare at that time. I didn't think much of him at all, but I didn't expect him to be transferred to the city soon. ”

"When he was working in the district, he had an ambiguous relationship with several women. Che Rengui went to Deputy District Chief Li's hometown. Deputy District Chief Li's hometown is in Jinan, Shandong Province, and once, Deputy District Chief Li's mother was over 60 years old, and several cadres went to the district, and Che Rengui was one of them. ”

It is not difficult to find Li Chengbing, but it is difficult to pull out some valuable information from his mouth, Li Chengbing has a characteristic, that is, his mouth is tight, and the door of his heart is always closed, and no one can guess what he thinks in his heart. But Li Chengbing has a weakness, he is a dutiful son, and if he wants to make him speak, he must do something in this regard. This is the tip given to Zhao Zimeng by the mayor of Mao District when they broke up.

At about nine o'clock, Zhao Zimeng and his entourage left the thatched hut of the head of the Mao district, who had been sending the comrades to the foot of the mountain.

That night, the four of them went directly to Zhenjiang, and at twelve o'clock in the evening, the car drove into Zhenjiang.

The four of them stayed in a hotel for one night, and the next morning, after breakfast, they drove to Zhenjiang Prison.

Secretary Cui received everyone, Secretary Cui called Qin Hefeng, the captain of the third team, and Li Chengbing served his sentence in the third team.

Before contacting Li Chengbing, Zhao Zimeng asked Captain Qin to introduce Li Chengbing's recent situation.
