Despite Nguyen Xianchao's efforts, little was achieved, and the investigation work went on for four months, and there was still no breakthrough.

Some things may be earth-shattering, but they can't shake time, and as it passes, everything will dissipate.

Four months is not a long time, but the bizarre case of the car crashing into the river is no longer mentioned.

Mu Nan's original friends and colleagues gradually forgot about her, and Mu Nan's original work was replaced by a new person, and everyone returned to normal life and work.

And the only one who did not come out was Ruan Xianchao, who lived in grief and hope.

The task force that was set up at the beginning, due to work reasons, other team members left one after another, and now only Ruan Xianchao is left. But he couldn't do anything alone, which meant that the case was de facto suspended.

There has been no progress here, and the "1210" case is progressing "in an orderly manner".

The procuratorate prosecuted the criminal suspect Jian Zheng to the Municipal Intermediate People's Court in accordance with procedures. In court, Jane Shang did not make any excuses, and strongly demanded that he be sentenced to death. The court also sentenced him to death in accordance with the law.

Jian Zheng did not appeal.

The Municipal Intermediate People's Court will report the relevant materials to the High Court for review. The High Court held that the facts were clear, the evidence was credible and sufficient, the sentencing was correct, and the procedures were lawful.

The High Court submitted an application to the Supreme People's Court for approval and ruling, and the Supreme People's Court approved it.

At present, the Municipal Intermediate People's Court has received an order to carry out the death sentence and decided to carry it out in five days.

Shao Youfu is running around every day for simple things, but it doesn't work.

Things have developed to this point, although he has ten thousand reluctances in his heart, but there is no way. As the time for the execution drew closer, his hair became grayer and whiter, and the black hair that he was proud of in the army was no longer able to find a few traces of black.

On the one hand, he did not find any evidence that could prove that Jian Zheng was not a murderer, and on the other hand, Jian Zheng himself admitted all the charges.

At the beginning, Shao Youfu also suspected that Ruan Xianchao's family was influencing the "1210" case through improper channels, in order to make Mu Nan sever relations with Jian Zheng. And now, Mu Nan is dead, so this reason must not be valid, so this also proves that his original idea is incorrect.

Shao Youfu couldn't understand Jian Zheng's admission of all the accusations, and he really wanted to talk to him face-to-face, but Jian Zheng never wanted to see anyone, including Shao Youfu.

Shao Youfu knows Jian Zheng very well about his character, and he never believes that Jian Zheng will kill people, or even believe that he will commit crimes.

That year, Shao Youfu was promoted by the secretary general to the deputy instructor and asked him to be in charge of an independent point, and he went with him to serve as a platoon commander who had just graduated from a military academy, and that platoon commander was Jian Zheng.

That independent point is called the Yunyashan Radar Station, which is located on the top of the lofty mountains. And the word "Yunya" is indeed worthy of its name, due to the high geographical location, from the bottom of the mountain upwards, this radar station is in the clouds and fog all the year round, of course, the location of the radar station is rarely cloudy, because the clouds and fog seen from the bottom of the mountain are actually hanging on the mountainside, and there are no clouds and fog at the top of the mountain.

The Yunyashan radar station is a combat-ready radar station, which is basically not used in peacetime. The troops stationed here are a platoon, and they are mainly responsible for guarding; in these barren mountains and mountains, it is impossible for anyone to steal and rob, and now that we are in peacetime, it is impossible for the enemy to come and sabotage, so the officers and men here basically have nothing to do, and the only thing to do is to do a good job of training in accordance with the training program of the whole army.

All along, there was a company deputy and a platoon commander in charge here.

Prior to this, the deputy company commander in charge of the work had been promoted to another company as a company commander.

At present, there is only one platoon commander named Wu Youli who is in charge here, and this platoon commander has always been the acting platoon commander because he is a volunteer. It just so happened that at this juncture, the whole army issued a document, and the volunteers were uniformly changed to non-commissioned officers, and they no longer acted for command posts.

Therefore, the higher authorities decided to ask Shao Youfu, the deputy instructor who had just been promoted, and Jian Zheng, the best cadet platoon commander assigned by the military academy, to take charge of this radar station.

Early in the morning, Shao Youfu set off with Jian Zheng.

From the regiment headquarters to the radar station, it takes two hours to take the car, and after getting off the bus, it takes more than 10 hours to walk and climb more than 40 kilometers of mountain roads.

Along the way, Shao Youfu always felt uneasy in his heart, not because he was afraid that the road would be dangerous and difficult, but because he was worried that he might not be able to trust this new position.

Jian Zheng saw that he never spoke, even if he was in the car, in this big mountain, he had to walk for more than ten hours, if he didn't speak like this, it wasn't to suffocate people crazy, anyway, he couldn't hold back, "Leader, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Aha, oh, no!" Suddenly called the leader, Shao Youfu didn't react at once. As soon as he was promoted, no one had called him a leader before, and he was a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. Of course, he would not have imagined that the person who called him the leader would become his leader. Second, he was worried about how to carry out his work after arriving at the radar station, when he was suddenly interrupted.

"Then why do you always sigh?"

Alas, this young guy didn't know the difficult road ahead, so Shao Youfu asked him: "Do you know where we are going?" ”

"Yes." Jian Zheng replied very simply.

"You know, how do you know?" Shao Youfu didn't believe it, didn't this young man just graduate and was assigned, how would he know? If he really knew, then how could he be so relaxed?

"The commissar said some at the mobilization meeting for the distribution of work, but it was not detailed, and later—"

"Why are you willing to come here since you've already told me?" Shao Youfu was a little puzzled and wanted to know the reason, so he interrupted him.

"After the political commissar finished speaking, no one was willing to come over at that time, and I took the initiative to apply to come."

"Active? Are you mistaken!? This really surprised Shao Youfu.

"Well, on the initiative." Jian Zheng smiled easily.

"Good!" Shao Youfu was originally grabbing the backpack strap on his chest with both hands, but when he said this, he deliberately freed one hand and gave him a thumbs up. This is the best news he has heard today, and this direct subordinate of him came of his own free will, at least he does not have to do his ideological work. If the troops can't manage it, and this platoon commander is not at ease at work and wants to leave, then he Shao Youfu may only have one way to commit suicide.

Shao Youfu remembered that he had interrupted Jian Zheng's words just now, so he said again: "What did you want to say just now, and what happened later?" ”

"Oh, oh," Jian Zheng grabbed the backpack strap on his chest, cooperated with his back at the same time, threw the backpack up, and adjusted the position of the backpack strap on his shoulder, and then continued: "Later, I found out that the head of the cadre unit had been in this Yunya Mountain, so I went to him and asked about the situation, so I basically understood." ”

"Not bad! Before taking office, I will do a job, and if I do it well, I will definitely have a future. Shao Youfu was in a slightly better mood, and he was not stingy at all when he praised people.

Of course, Shao Youfu didn't have a little shelf, this was not like an officer in an army, but he didn't care about this, he took the initiative to talk to Jian Zheng, including talking about his own shortcomings and shortcomings, "Jian Pai, to be honest, I don't know if I can fool these guys." ”

When he said this, Jian Zheng naturally couldn't answer, so he just coped, "Hmm." ”

Shao Youfu didn't care, he then talked about it, "I know how many catties and taels I have, I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have never been to school, and because no one takes care of food in my hometown, the brigade found the commune to send me to the army." In order to stay in the army, I can only rely on diligence and hard work to raise pigs and grow vegetables, burn fires and cook, so as to win the affirmation of the leaders and comrades-in-arms. You are from a college class, so you will have to worry more about management training in the future. ”

"Okay, leader, don't worry, I will try my best to do a good job." As a subordinate, Jian Zheng replied very respectfully.

"You know this radar station is notoriously 'difficult.'" After Shao Youfu finished speaking, he stopped, feeling that it was redundant to talk about this, didn't Jian Zheng just say that he had inquired, since he had inquired about these situations, he would definitely know.

Indeed, Jian Zheng also knew some information about this Yunya Mountain.

Due to the remote location of the Yunyashan radar station, some of the soldiers who normally distributed the past will find various ways to transfer them. And to supplement these formations, the regiment came up with a local method. That is, the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment who have made mistakes will be sent here to serve as soldiers. If it is a soldier who is sent here, he will basically serve here until he is discharged, and if an officer is sent here to serve as a soldier, if he performs well, then he may return to his original unit and continue to be an officer, otherwise he will stay here until he is demobilized. Therefore, this radar station gathered all the "difficult" people in the whole regiment.

The two of them walked silently for a while, and Shao Youfu began to speak again: "Jian Pao, someone in the regiment once counted that all the officers who have worked here in recent years have worked here for an average of 9 months, I don't know how long the two of us can work?" He seemed to be asking Jian Zheng, and he seemed to be asking himself.

"If the troops need it, I will stay for a long time!" He replied simply. He also knew that the main reason why the officers didn't stay long was that the soldiers would make some strange tricks to pack up the officers who had just arrived here. There are not many cadres who can survive this hurdle and successfully surrender these soldiers, and most of the officers just abandon their principles and reach a compromise with these veterans. Since he is aggrieved, he will find a way to transfer away, so he will naturally not stay for long. Of course, there are also some people who can't be transferred and can't stand the grievances, so they go to extremes. Among them, a new platoon commander committed suicide, and a deputy company commander went crazy.

Of course, there are two sides to everything, this independent point is the place to test the cadres, but also the place to discover the cadres, if you can survive and bring the troops well, it means that the cadre's ability is extraordinary, and the organization will pay attention to it and promote it. I heard that the current regiment commander and political commissar have worked here.

They had been hurrying on the road, and they did not know how many mountains they had climbed and how many rivers they had crossed, but the sun had gone down, and the moon had not come up, and a few faint starlights seemed to loom on the top of the mountain.

Shao Youfu was originally an orphan, and since he was a child, he was particularly afraid of loneliness, silence and darkness.

He had never felt such stillness. It was so quiet that you could hear the echo of your shoes hitting the ground in the valley. And the occasional sound of the wind grazing the treetops was so slender and weird, like the last gasp of a dying person.

He had never felt such darkness before. The boundless darkness overwhelmed itself, like an invisible net, completely netting itself. In front of the darkness, in the distance, the human being is so small, even if he has the idea of escaping from the darkness, he can't have the courage to escape from the darkness. The dancing starlight on the mountains in the distance like ghostly fire made him feel like black and white impermanence holding a spirit lantern in his hand, rushing towards him.

It is estimated that the most able to gather people's hearts is the darkness, in this darkness, he can't feel the existence of anyone or anything, only the simplicity in front of him can make him realize that he is still in the world. At this time, he felt that this optimistic and fearless subordinate was his only support. So he followed two steps, imprinting his steps.

Finally, at about 9 p.m., they rounded the last ridge and saw a light not far ahead.

"It's here, Jane Pai, we're here!" Shao Youfu shouted happily, if it weren't for the heavy backpack on his back, it is estimated that he would have jumped.

Jian Zheng also let out a long breath, "It's here, it's finally here." ”

Shao Youfu, who had been walking behind, excitedly grabbed the front of Jian Zheng and strode towards the light in front.

"Slow down!" Jian Zheng snorted, and at the same time grabbed him, "I'll go ahead, you follow." ”

"What?" Shao Youfu was stunned by his sudden drink.

"I heard that the veterans of Yunya Mountain have a new leadership, and every time they start from this road." Jian Zheng explained: "You are the leader, so let me go ahead, I can't let you get hurt." ”

yes, how did I forget this stubble. Shao Youfu has actually heard that this road of less than 500 meters is the only way to enter Yunya Mountain, and in the mouth of the veterans of Yunya Mountain, this road is called Yingxin Road. Every time a new leader came, they had to set traps, triplines, and boar traps along the way.

However, Shao Youfu is not the kind of person who is not responsible and afraid of death, so he said: "Thank you for the reminder, but let me go ahead, how can I say that I am also your leader, how can I let you go ahead and take risks?" With that, he prepared to move forward again.

Jian Zheng pulled him back again, raised his voice and said, "Deputy Instructor Shao, do you know where there are traps, where are tripwires and wild boar traps?" ”

"I don't know." Shao Youfu turned to Jian Zheng and said, "Do you know? ”

"yes, I know, so you've got to let me go ahead." After speaking, Jian Zheng took out a retractable TV antenna from his satchel, stretched it out, and then walked in front of Shao Youfu, carefully walked forward step by step, and said to Shao Youfu behind him: "Just follow my footsteps and move forward!" ”

Shao Youfu hurriedly followed behind him, and walked forward according to his footsteps.

After walking a few steps, Shao Youfu saw him jumping left and right, stopping and stopping, and he was a little skeptical that he could really recognize it, "Jian Pai, tell me, how do you identify the traps on the road?" ”

"Well, if there is a trap on the road, it must be covered with loose soil, and the loose soil will not reflect the starlight at night, so the shining place is the ground, and the unshiny road surface may have a trap underneath. In addition, I found a discarded TV antenna before I set out, which can now be used to find a way, and I can sense whether there are tripwires and boar traps ahead. ”

"Well, yes, it's really two!" Shao Youfu not only praised him verbally, but also recognized him in his heart, with such a platoon commander, it is estimated that during his term of office, he can completely manage the troops.

The two of them came to the gate of the barracks in this way, and the light from the barracks could already see the road clearly. Shao Youfu saw a small piece of loose soil in front of Jian Zheng, and Jian Zheng was calmly stepping up, he quickly pulled him, "Be careful, that's loose soil!" ”

"I know!" Jian Zheng said with a smile.

"Do you know how to step on it?"

"Such a small piece of loose soil, it's definitely not a trap down there."

"What's that?"

"It's supposed to be a boar trap buried in the earth." Jian Zheng said it very lightly.

"Are you crazy, do you know it's a boar trap and step on it?"

"They have set up so many mechanisms, if none of them are used, then they must be disappointed, and when they are disappointed, they want to find them from somewhere else, then we don't know how long to watch out." Jian Zheng lowered his voice and said to him, "Moreover, they find that we are not fooled and too shrewd, so they will work harder against us." ”

Shao Youfu listened to what he said, and he couldn't stop nodding, but to be honest, he didn't understand these truths.

Jian Zheng didn't continue to explain, gently shook off his hand, and stepped on it with one foot, and a wild boar clip was firmly clamped on his ankle. He sat down on the ground with his ass and let out a scream of "ah" from his mouth. The voice was loud, and he wanted to tell the soldiers in the barracks that he had been hit.

The soldiers in the barracks were actually not sleeping, and when they heard this scream, they all leaned on the windows and looked at them.

The clamp was so powerful that it took a lot of effort for two people to get it down.

Jian Zheng slowly pulled up his trousers and asked Shao Youfu with difficulty: "Instructor, can you help me see how the injury is?" ”

Shao Youfu took a closer look through the faint light, good guy, it turned out that he had already prepared. I saw a pair of thick combat boots on Jian Zheng's feet, followed by a pair of sandbags tied to his calves, and the clip just now didn't hurt him at all.

This guy is smart enough.

Shao Youfu raised his head and handed Jian Zheng an approving look, and at the same time cooperated: "You have broken your bones and shed so much blood, are you okay?" ”

"I have a towel in my bag, you can help me take it out, tear it into strips of cloth, tie up the wound, and stop the bleeding."

"Okay."

……

The two of them, tossing and turning for more than ten minutes, Shao Youfu helped Jian Zheng, who was on crutches, and walked towards the barracks.
