Chapter 15 Fifteen Cao Yuefang's first narration

Lao Yin came back in the morning and told me that he had told Captain Zhao face to face that we don't think Dong Lin was murdered.I immediately criticized him.How did Dong Lin die, let's not jump to conclusions.To be honest, we can't come to this conclusion.This is a matter of strong technical policy and political nature.We can't do it.Over the decades, I have participated in many sports.I have been drawn to conclusions by others, and I have also drawn conclusions for others.I know all too well how important and difficult it is to draw conclusions.Sometimes for one or two words, one or two sentences in the conclusion, I can go back and forth for several days, dawdling so many times, delaying for one or two years, two or three years, and some even ten years to reach the conclusion. Pass.In our society, organizational conclusions are political verdicts.One or two key words, one or two key words, can determine your destination for life.So it cannot be ambiguous.But we can provide information.Provide the situation as factually as possible.Of course, it is not certain whether this can be done.Because everyone's understanding is limited.Have a good attitude and do your best.Be as factual as possible and get as close to the truth as possible.

But in the previous stage, I heard that you have already determined that Mr. Lao was murdered, so we are a little bit reluctant to talk to you anymore.I am afraid that some different opinions will be expressed, and you will think that we are deliberately misleading you and deliberately hindering the resolution of the case.Later I heard that you also have different opinions.Therefore, we feel that we should boldly provide some information we know, just for your reference... Donglin is my good friend.This ending of his shocked me very much, and I also felt... and felt quite reasonable.When I say this, you will definitely feel that I am very unreasonable and inhuman.But isn't the tone of our conversation today set on "being as close to the truth as possible"? I am "closer to the truth".As long as it is "close to the truth", I dare to say anything.That's why I don't want anyone else to join us in this conversation.If there is another person sitting next to him.Even if my daughter is sitting, I dare say that Dong Lin is so dead, it makes sense? I say so.It was as if I was expecting him to die like this, and to spread the word, in the eyes of everyone, who is I, Cao Yuefang? But this is indeed the truth in my heart.Dong Lin didn't want to be mediocre and make do with life all his life, which also determines that his death will not be as mediocre and ordinary as ordinary people: You may also know that recently, in a special small circle, there is a saying that , Said Lord Lao committed suicide.This statement was immediately opposed and ridiculed by the vast majority of people.They thought it was absolutely impossible for Donglin to commit suicide, but he encountered a huge hurdle and couldn't get through it.He will not kill himself either.Because the biggest characteristic of him is that the good life is not enough; when encountering the bad life, he can change it into a good life in a different way, and if it is impossible to change it, he can also let it go. Have a good time.For decades, he had tried in every possible way to keep himself from feeling bad.In any case, he did have a good time.This is his biggest characteristic.These friends think they know him very well, but they don’t: the vast majority of them don’t know that Donglin’s heart is very painful and contradictory in the final stage of Taurigan... These pains and contradictions are not only piled up on his outside. In life, and has entered his heart.For the first time in his life, he encountered such a kind of "pain" that could neither be reformed nor ignored in passing...

(Shao Changshui interjected: "Then, do you also think he committed suicide?") This... I don't draw conclusions yet.I'll just talk about the matter itself, and leave the conclusion to you. Once such a thing happened.It really scared me that day.He broke into my house suddenly... I'm going off a bit here to add an explanation.The "home" I'm talking about here is my home in Taurigan.I think you guys must have done some research on my history.In my hometown, there is an abandoned water tower behind the compound of the former Taurigan County Government. On the water tower, a bird’s nest made of white birch bark and red pine boards can still be found for a month.This bird's nest is quite large, and it was specially made for white storks to inhabit.Later, the white storks stopped coming, and many gray magpies and old black ravens lived there: I made that nest when I was in middle school in Taoligan.I don’t know why, Taurigan has been demolished and rebuilt so much in recent years. Almost all the old buildings in the city have been demolished. This water tower has survived, and the big bird’s nest made of bark and wood has also survived. down.At the same time, a small building was reserved on the opposite road of the Land Planning Bureau.It was the private property of the owner of the only time-honored winery "Cao Buquan Winery" in this small county.The small building is now preserved as a historical relic of the industrial and commercial aspects of Taurigan City.Cao Buquan is my father, and Cao Nan's grandfather.Later, I went to the provincial capital to become a policeman, learned the craft, and settled my family in the provincial capital, where I have been hanging around until today.In fact, my roots are still in Taurigan.There are dozens of members of my old Cao's family there.During the holidays, if the whole family wants to get together, there are four or five generations of people, old and young, which is really a huge area.If you add relatives of relatives, acquaintances of relatives, acquaintances of acquaintances, relatives of acquaintances... I am sure it is not an exaggeration to say that more than half of the people in the old town of Taurigan had some kind of relationship with our old Cao family. or sparse relationship.When I go back to Taurigan, I will grab anyone on the street. As long as he is from Taurigan and over 30 years old, say a few words and name three or four people, we will definitely find a common acquaintance. , immediately became very close.Therefore, it was a very wise choice for Mr. Lao to go to Taurigan to conduct his "secret investigation" and ask me for help, and it was also a choice that would get twice the result with half the effort.It can be said that it is precisely because of my connections in Taurigan that Lord Lao's "investigation" went so smoothly and effectively in the first place.But that day, he suddenly broke into my house.I'm brewing medicinal wine.Every year at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the men of the Cao family would drink a kind of medicinal wine.This medicinal wine is made according to the recipe handed down by my family.According to our Cao family's statement, winter supplements stop loss, spring supplements stop dryness, during winter and spring, nourish the heart and kidneys, connect the past and the next, open the outside and strengthen the inside.Prescriptions are ready-made, but the priority of compatibility and the amount of medicine should be determined every year according to the changes of different people's pulse at the beginning of the new year.Therefore, whenever this time comes, whenever possible, the men of the Cao family will return to Tao Ligen, and my third uncle, who is a medical student, will take the pulse one by one and check the tongue coating; Urine, according to the color of the urine, the amount of foam in the urine, the pattern of accumulation and the length of the retention time, comprehensively judge his physical condition, prescribe a new prescription, and then make a drink suitable for him in the new year That medicinal wine.

...It was raining heavily that day.If you still remember, it was the time of the Jingzhe that day, and it happened that the thunder sent black Changling.There is a local folk proverb: "Thunder strikes Hei Changling, and heavy rain kills people." Many old people can see it very clearly. The lightning rushed straight from the nest of Hei Changling into the air like a dragon, and then suddenly issued a sound. Loud noise.The zenith was about to split, the earth trembled; heavy rain poured down.At that time, it was about four o’clock in the afternoon, and the sky was dark. If you didn’t turn on the lights in the house, you could hardly see the calligraphy and paintings on the opposite wall. = It rained for about ten minutes, and the secondary thunder came one after another. One by one, they came out from Heichangling, almost pressing down on the roofs of every house.The heavy rain fell for another hour in the dark, and the sky gradually became brighter, and the rain gradually stabilized.Mr. Lao broke into my house just at the moment when the heavy rain was about to subside and had not yet subsided.

...He drove the car by himself, as usual = he was driving an old Volvo back then.As soon as he entered the room, I felt that there was something wrong with him. I only heard him panting heavily, throwing the things in his hand to the side, sitting down sullenly, and then remained silent.Usually when he comes home, first, his hands are never empty.As long as you come to the door, whether it is food or use, you always have a little "gift" in your hand.I've "protested" to him many times, but it didn't work: he smiled and explained: "I'm used to it. I'm used to it. I was trained by my old father when I was young: it's always been like this in our family. Don't worry about it. Qian Don't worry about it. I will correct it next time." But next time, it will be the same.Second, love bluffing.As soon as he came home, he talked, learned, teased, and sang. All he could hear was his yelling and laughter.So the whole family expected him to come, and liked him to come: but after entering the house that day, they actually became silent.I turned on the light quickly, only to see his face was gloomy.He looked sluggish, and while driving, he was drenched like a soaked chicken; his leather shoes, which were always shiny before, were now covered with mud, and it was a pity that the black cashmere mid-length coat that he had just bought was now fast. It became an old felt rug, with no shape or style.Limp on his short and frail body.

"What's wrong? Was there a car accident?" I hurriedly asked.While throwing a dry towel to wipe his face, he looked out the window.The old Volvo was parked in front of the window in front of my house in good condition, although the body was also covered with mud and water.But there was no trace of a bump.What makes me wonder is that when driving in such a heavy thunderstorm, the windows on both sides are all open, as if deliberately trying to compete with the raging God.It is conceivable that the situation in the car must have been "a mess". I know he went to find Yu Dacheng that day.During that time, he had been trying to find Yu Dacheng to report on the situation.What exactly to report, he refused to tell me.But he told me that he wanted to find Yu Dacheng.And it must be found.I can't find it.On that day, he got the news that Yu Dacheng accompanied several distinguished guests from Beijing across the river to visit that small city in Russia.In those days, something changed in Donglin.I can feel that there is something in his heart; the number of visits to my house is also less; after coming, the laughter and words are not as much as before.Even if there are some, they seem a bit forced, as if they were just made up to prevent us from disappointing.Sometimes even from his slightly helpless eyes, he could even detect a little bit of "wretchedness" of "the white-headed palace lady's strong words and joy".In private, I have asked him many times what troubles he encountered.He just said "nothing".I said: "You're 'nothing', you can deceive others, but I can't deceive you. Tell me the truth." He smiled wryly, and replied: "It's really nothing. Why should I deceive you? Even if it's something , also... also... It's nothing more than a little bit of self-inflicted trouble. It's not a small thing. Let me retort it in my heart and it will pass in two days. Don't worry about it." But "two days ", "Two weeks" have "retting" passed, it is obvious that he is getting more and more dull, the matter seems not only not to pass, but also more serious.It was originally agreed that I would make an appointment with an accountant for him.At that time, he was checking an account related to Rao Shangdu, Gu Liyuan and Zhu Lei.This accountant was the insider who handled the account back then.Lord Lao approached him several times and asked him to talk about the actual situation at that time, but he politely refused, even refusing to meet.Later, Mr. Lao asked me, and I entrusted some connections and made certain guarantees. Only then did the accountant agree to see Mr. Lao.It was so hard to make sense of it, but he gave up that day in order to find Yu Dacheng.From this, you can imagine how urgent he was to see Yu Dacheng.Can you have a serious talk with Yu Dacheng, how important it was to him at that time.

Ordinarily, you should be very happy to finally meet the person you have always wanted to see; even if you are not "very happy", you can't be "as if you are mourning"! Did you not meet? Or did you meet? But, whether it is meeting I haven't seen it yet, and I still don't want to speculate. With Master Lao's quality and self-sufficiency, no matter what, I won't let myself be so depressed! What happened? I really feel nervous. I didn't dare to ask in detail at first.I know, if I ask, he won't tell me.Although he sometimes appears to be very "naive" and "straightforward", but most of the time he still shows the kind of city that is unique to Old An.Things he doesn't want to tell you, or things he feels he shouldn't tell you, he absolutely "keeps tight."Never ambiguous.After a long time, I realized that he never saw Yu Dacheng that day.It wasn't that Yu Dacheng didn't have time, but that he didn't want to see Lao Donglin at all.And he felt that Yu Da was avoiding him like the plague that day. Lao Donglin: At the beginning, he asked the staff around Yu Da to send a message to Yu Da. But it has to be talked about.Yu Dacheng didn't even give this pitiful ten minutes, and asked the staff around him to bring him a message, if there is something to do, wait until he returns to the provincial capital, don't make trouble for him here.When Dong Lin heard this, he felt awkward: Go back to the provincial capital? The provincial capital is six to seven hundred kilometers away from Taurigan, so why go far away? Let’s talk! What do you mean by “don’t make trouble for him”? You said that at the time , if there is anything in the future, I can come to you in time: I still restrain me, I must go to you, and I can't go to other people.What's the matter.When I was really in a hurry and needed your help, did you treat Sheng Nuoquan as a fart for what you said and done? At first, Dong Lin thought that these words were not the original words of Yu Datou.It was made up by the staff around him.Besides, at this time, he was accompanying the guests from Beijing, and he really couldn't get away, so he endured it and waited in the lobby of the hotel again.He thought, after Yu Dacheng had finished entertaining the guests, he went back to his room to rest, blocked him when he passed by, and made an appointment with him face to face. After waiting like this for almost two hours, he waited for Yu Dacheng to wait for the group to have a full meal. After returning to the hotel, he waited for Yu Dacheng to send those distinguished guests to the elevator, until only Dacheng and the staff member beside him were left on the scene.He just appeared from a corner of the lobby and hurriedly walked towards Yu Dacheng.He thought that now Yu Dacheng would give him a warm reception.Unexpectedly, when Yu Dacheng saw Lao Donglin walking towards him, he turned his head and quickly got into the elevator, and deliberately left the staff member at the elevator door to block Lao Donglin, and whispered this sentence to him : "Old comrade, please pay attention to the influence."

This time, it really hurt Donglin too much.He was stupid there.He is usually very quick in response and his brain turns very fast.It was as if someone had poured a pot of scalding hot pulp on his head and face, and his whole body froze: but even at this time, he still habitually thought about what happened in front of him in a positive way—this is what happened. Lin, it is also the spiritual tragedy of our generation.One thing at present.Always think of the good side first.That is, as the saying goes, let people sell.There is also some money for others with gusto.He also thought that Yu Dacheng was so indifferent to him.It was because he knew that Lao Donglin's "secret investigation" was too confidential, and it was not appropriate to openly contact it in public.Ordinarily, an old policeman like Dong Lin who has solved hundreds of thousands of cases and dealt with countless suspects in the pre-trial process can observe the words and expressions, capture the inner changes of the opponent in a moment, and confirm the opponent's true behavioral purpose and ideological motivation from countless illusions. , is definitely his special skill.But why didn't he read Yu Dacheng's real intentions that day from his facial expressions, body movements, and even the trance in his eyes? How could he appear so "stupid" and "sluggish" for a while? Actually, I want To put it bluntly, it's not surprising at all.When he faced criminal cases and suspects one by one, he knew that he was fighting against "bad guys" and "enemies". The energy in the cells is also mobilized.But in the face of Yu Dacheng, this is "one of my own", a "comrade", and a "comrade" with the status of a "superior" who has assigned tasks to him.For such a person, in his mind, besides "trust", there is really only "dependence" to speak of.How could he have imagined that such a person would deliberately avoid him at a critical moment, and would not want to have any contact with him anymore? To put it bluntly, how could he have imagined that this "comrade superior" would not wait for him to complete the task. But have you "abandoned" him?

As an old comrade who has been educated by the organization for decades, he can't believe this is true even if he is killed.Puzzled.uncomfortable.A few days later, he insisted on going back to the provincial capital to find Yu Dacheng again.He must see him.But still no sight.This time's experience made him start to wake up a little bit, and began to realize that Yu Dacheng "seemed" to be really avoiding him and didn't want to see him.He was surprised and disturbed.But he couldn't figure out why Yu Datou avoided him.As usual, he first looked for the reason from himself: Could it be that he didn't do a good job in any aspect of his work, which made the "organization" doubt himself and couldn't trust himself? This made him want to meet Comrade Yu Dacheng even more... But this time, he was a little clever and didn't go directly to the door.He knew that if he approached the door directly, he might be blocked from the door again.He entrusted someone to look for it.He waited for a whole week at his home in the provincial capital, and finally got a reply.Yu Dacheng's reply was, please tell Comrade Lao Donglin not to look for him again.It's useless to look for it, he doesn't care about these things.If there is any problem, please ask him to go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection or other relevant departments to ask for instructions and report.If he felt that he didn't want to stay in Taurigan any longer, he could leave there.He expresses his sincere apologies for the inconvenience and loss caused to him...

Yu Dacheng's answer and his attitude almost caused Dong Lin to "collapse". "What, what? He doesn't care about these things anymore? If there is any question, let me go to the relevant department? If you don't want to stay any longer, you can leave Taurigan? He said it simply! Throwing a dog is not so easy! He also Express my deep apologies to me? What does he mean by that?" Lao Donglin jumped up suddenly. "...I sincerely apologize...haha...haha...for this reason, I took off my police uniform and resigned from the public office. It can be said that I risked my whole family and life, just to exchange him for an 'apology'? He What do you think of me? He really doesn’t know who I am, Lao Donglin?!!” Before the friend rushed up to pull him, he started the car and went straight to Yu Datou’s office building.

That day Yu Datou was presiding over the meeting in the conference room.Lao Donglin pushed away the guard and secretary who came forward to stop him almost without thinking.After Zhao Zhi rushed into the conference room, he calmed himself down a little and forced a smile.After staring at Yu Datou who had been completely stunned there for a moment, he used 120,000 points of self-control.Forced a calm tone, he said to Yu Datou: "Mr. Yu, can I spare you a few minutes? I have to say a few words to you. The matter is not too big, but it's not too small..." Yu Dacheng hurriedly took care of a vice president, asked him to preside over the meeting for him temporarily, and hurriedly said to the participants: "You guys continue to express your opinions, please continue to express your opinions..." He led Lao Donglin to to his office: "Oh, you big detective Lao, you really have a rebel temper! Sit down..." As soon as he entered the office, Yu Datou smiled at the secretary who followed him, making him He quickly closed the two doors inside and outside, and told him not to let anyone disturb him and Lao Donglin during this time. "Have an opinion? It's good to have an opinion. If you have any opinion, you can talk about it openly. Talk about it openly." Yu Datou leaned back on the sofa.He took out a box of "Su Yan" which was said to be more expensive than Hong Zhonghua and threw it in front of Lao Donglin, smiling. "Old Chen didn't tell you my explanation in detail? This kid must have embezzled some of my key words." The "Old Chen" he said was the friend who spoke to Yu Datou for Lao Donglin. "..." Zhen sat down.When he was in front of the person again, Lao Donglin was not as angry and excited as before. "Did Chen tell you? The old secretary is ill. Suddenly fell ill..." Yu Datou said calmly, lighting a cigarette. "..." Lao Donglin still didn't respond.He remembered that when he rushed out just now, Lao Chen caught up and shouted: "Big head told you, someone is sick. He can't do it now..." At that time, he was completely engulfed by the anger , I didn't pay attention to who was sick, it seems that Lao Chen didn't make it very clear at that time.But when he explained clearly, Lao Donglin had already rushed out of the door and started the car, and he couldn't hear what others said clearly. "The old secretary suddenly fell ill and was in a deep coma. He lost the ability to breathe spontaneously at the beginning. He is still relying on intubation and a ventilator to maintain signs of life. Since he fell suddenly, he did not explain many things before his death... he If you don’t explain, no one can take over... You should know... If he doesn’t explain, others can’t continue, and they can’t continue..." Yu Datou still narrated in his very calm tone, as if It’s like describing a light rain that is bound to come, a cloud that is bound to disappear, a piece of rapeseed that is bound to bloom, and a dirt road that is bound to come to an end... "Then, is it really the old secretary's intention to let me go to Taoligan to conduct a secret investigation?" Lao Donglin took the opportunity to ask. "I didn't say that." Yu Datou replied calmly. "If it's not directly related to him, if he didn't ask you to arrange for me to do this thing, why can't you ask him why he's in a coma? Others can't continue to do it?" Lao Donglin chased after him and questioned him. "..." Yu Datou just looked at Lao Donglin, without any explanation.That meaning seems to say: "Well, you can deduce it yourself. I won't go into more details." "What do I do next?" "it's up to you……" "But I didn't decide to do it myself in the first place." "Let's not argue about this. You should remember that I told you very clearly at the time, whether to go to Taurigan to do this, the final big idea is up to you. I don't represent any organization, and I don't bring any Executive order colors..." "But you also said that after going to Taurigan, if you encounter any problems, you can come to you directly, and you can only come to you." "..." Yu Datou fell silent again.Suddenly, he looked very embarrassed.Yes, he did say those words at the time.He did not deny that he had come forward to talk to Lao Donglin about the whole matter.However, he was also entrusted by the old secretary to do this matter at that time.Shan Zai's old secretary suddenly fell into a coma, and the doctor judged.The old man may never wake up again.He didn't leave any words on how to deal with the Taurigan matter.And this matter directly involved a serving acting governor, which can be said to be no small matter. Of course, he, Yu Dacheng, could not issue "instructions" to Lao Donglin on what to do next or what not to do on his own.He can't reveal the "background" of this matter to anyone, nor can he "ask for instructions" to anyone.After all, the matter involved a retired old provincial party secretary and a current acting governor.What should we do? Whoever has the turn to do this matter will adopt this approach of "staying away".This is the only way to reduce losses. However, the question now is what should Lao Donglin do? According to Master Lao later told me, he stood up suddenly, raised his voice, and yelled at Comrade Yu Dacheng: "What should I do? You Say!!" He saw that although Yu Dacheng was still sitting motionless in his boss chair, his face gradually turned pale, and there was a clear expression of guilt and helplessness in his eyes. He supported his huge head with one palm, and Put it on the table.But subconsciously trembling slightly there.Then, in an instant.Master Lao seemed to see a moist luster in his eye sockets. (Later, Lord Lao told me many times. He did see tears in Yu Dacheng’s eyes at that time. Whether you believe it or not, such a person will also "tear tears", Lord Lao said that he was at that time Indeed, I saw a tear glistening in Yu Dacheng's eyes.) Afterwards, Yu Dacheng's eyelids changed from pale to pale.Turned to gray.His whole huge body shrank limply in the extremely wide executive chair, and was as stiff and inflexible as if it was cast from lead. What to do? Tell me!" Yu Dacheng remained stubbornly silent.Master Lao had no choice but to slam the door and strode out.The moment he turned his head and walked out, he determinedly took a look at this Yu Dacheng, and saw that he closed his eyes helplessly.He remained motionless, as if completely dead, only the fat and white hand lying flat on the table was still trembling slightly, slightly...
