Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Looking for a Poet

Many people thought that since She Tong had been arrested, the case would be closed soon.But two months later, the case has not yet been closed.At this time, some rumors pointed to Tian Gangliang, the victim of the Double Ten Murder. Tian Gangliang stayed in the hospital for more than half a year before being discharged from the hospital. Except for the dislocation and fragmentation of the bone in his left elbow, which was not flexible before the injury, he was fine.Although there was a python-like white pattern on his abdomen, but due to the cover of his clothes, no outsiders knew about it except his wife Shu Hui.Those who visited him found that he looked good, the only shortcoming was that his elbow was a bit like a robotic joint, a little dull and stiff.Everyone reassured him that Premier Zhou also had a hand that was not so flexible, but he still managed a lot of things every day.He also smiled and said it's okay, it's okay.In a flash, it has been more than half a year since he was discharged from the hospital, and the organization still let him rest at home.Rest, rest, and rest, it becomes unemployment.At the beginning, his mood was like the eyes of an old horse, suddenly gloomy and suddenly vigorous.However, he thinks that the organization still trusts him.

As long as the case is over, he can go back to battle.Of course, it is impossible for him to return to the small county town called Anning that he can't bear to look back on.Even if he didn't say what he meant, it was clear from the organization.That is not the place where he was shamed and shamed, but the place where his fame shines through, and it is also the place where he relieves his hidden pain.He couldn't return to peace, and he didn't want to wait like a rabbit for a long time, but he didn't feel that he had to act immediately until a friend of his told him some comments about him from the outside world.In a kind of discussion from the outside world, he and Cheng Jiaqing were on the same page.It is said that he was intrigued with Cheng Jiaqing, and Cheng Jiaqing was so angry that he hired someone to punish him.If there is nothing wrong with him, why hasn't he been reappointed after being injured for more than half a year?

It's a rainy day. Tian Gangliang finally calmed down after his friend left for a long time. He opened the curtain and saw the chaotic and grand world in the raindrops.At this time, he had a fantasy of running into the rain and taking a quick bath. The facts must be clarified, otherwise the outside world will spread rumors, and I will not be able to speak clearly.It's not that I'm afraid that others will say it's stinky, but I'm afraid that I'll be put on it innocently for three or two years.Although the body is not afraid of the shadow, and the fragrance is not stinky, it is an indisputable fact that the people's words are awesome.Thinking of this, he wrote a letter to Du Ruo, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

Tian Gangliang wrote in the letter: "...the appearance of the Double Ten Murder was not caused by my personal grievances with Cheng Jiaqing. In fact, I have no personal grievances with Cheng Jiaqing. Compared with traitors, unscrupulous, domineering, ignoring party discipline and state laws, not tolerating the correct opinions of others, and rejecting dissidents..." Tian Gangliang also stated in the letter three reasons why Cheng Jiaqing wanted to retaliate against him: "...One of the reasons is I advocate that Qi Wanchun should be investigated for his crimes in the economic field... The second reason is that I decided to conduct another investigation into the truth about Comrade Huang Hai being hit by a car... The third reason is that Cheng Jiaqing mistakenly believed that Fu Mei was transferred from An Ning. Mischief. In fact, the scandal between him and Fu Mei is as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows..." At the end of the letter, Tian Gangliang also described his embarrassing situation, hoping that the organization will clarify the facts as soon as possible so that he can return to work , to work for the party again.

Comrade Du Ruo gave instructions in the letter on the second day after receiving the letter: investigate and appraise Comrade Tian Gangliang's work in Anning as soon as possible. If there is no problem, he may consider not returning to Anning.Comrade Tian Gangliang fought against evil forces and corrupt elements with commendable courage. Comrade Du Ruo's words mean a lot. The leaders of the Nanzhang Municipal Party Committee sent officials from the organization department to Anning to investigate. Tian Gangliang's reputation in Anning is very good. Although he has only worked in Anning for a few months, his bold and resolute work style, especially his courage to touch Cheng Jiaqing's tiger's ass and Qi Wanchun's snake head without fear of power, gave Anning The people left an excellent impression, and those who knew the inside story said: "Cheng Jiaqing drank the blood of Anning people, and Tian Gangliang bleeds for Anning people."

Sure enough, in May 1997, Tian Gangliang was appointed as the Deputy Secretary of the Guoren County Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee.Same as his position in Anning, neither promotion nor demotion. Before taking office, Tian Gangliang wrote a thank-you letter to the Provincial Party Committee, and wrote a letter full of ardent expectations to the Double Ten Murder Investigation Team, hoping that all members of the investigation team would work hard to catch all the criminals involved. Seeing that She Tong has been captured and that She Tong himself has confessed to his crime, many members of the Double Ten murder investigation team breathed a sigh of relief.They thought that they could call back the troops now, at least they could withdraw the investigation headquarters to Nanzhang, but Lei Huanshan never issued such an order.

Lei Huanshan remained calm, so what was he thinking? Cheng Jiaqing, Qi Wanchun, Qi Wanqiu, She Tong, and Mi Zhiqiang have all been arrested, and Fu Mei is filing a case for investigation. Even if all members of the investigation team evacuate An Ning, some of them can be evacuated first.Why do we still need to gather together?The case has been cleared, so will new branches emerge? Lei Huanshan had Lei Huanshan's idea. He thought that if some people were evacuated first, it would mean that the case was about to end, and people who had been observing behind the scenes and would have to tell the truth at a certain time would swallow their words back.Will the case involve higher-level figures, or other people in Anning?Lei Huanshan wasn't sure.Again, there are two more things to figure out.For a villain of all kinds who presided over two murders, there was no guarantee that he would not do other outrageous things.The poet, the adopted son of the old guerrilla, is now missing. Will he be murdered by Cheng Jiaqing and his gang?If murdered, where and by whom?If he wasn't murdered, where was he?His whereabouts must now be found out.

The whereabouts of the poet, that is the first question.The second question is about the loan of more than 20 million yuan from Anning County Construction Bank, which Cheng Jiaqing is the general manager of Nanzhang Huaxia Trading Co., Ltd. and Mi Chengshan.The more than 20 million yuan has been squandered and nothing has been returned, and the lender Mi Chengshan died of cancer in the first half of 1995.Where did the loan of more than 20 million yuan go?What role does Cheng Jiaqing play here?What should be the responsibility?It has to be figured out. In Anning, many people recognize the poet.He is known far and wide for his wildness and frankness.But when he asked his neighbors, work colleagues, work leaders, classmates, and friends about his current whereabouts, everyone was vague, or it was just hearsay.

"Shortly after Old Guerrilla's death, I didn't see him again." "Maybe, he's wandering again. He likes to live that kind of unstable life." "I heard that he was involved in a car accident and was run over by a large truck from Anhui on National Highway 105." "Once, when I was drinking with him, he said that he must kill that bastard Cheng Jiaqing." These are the exact words of a good friend of his, but when asked about the poet's current whereabouts, his good friend shook his head. "Once, I went to his house and knocked on the door for a long time, but I couldn't find anyone. After that, I looked for him several times, but there was no one, so I stopped going. Who knows where he went? A good man, a really cynical good man."

However, the information provided by a middle school classmate of the poet is of some value. "I once went to Guangzhou on a business trip. At the Guangzhou Railway Station, I found a man who looked very much like him. The man was dressed in rags, his face was dark and red, and there were several scars on his face, like white daffodils blooming on his face. Very eye-catching. I called him, but he gave me a cold look and didn’t agree. At that time, I thought I had misidentified the person, but when I got home, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that person was a poet, but I’m not sure .often followed by affirmations and negations.”

It's almost like going up to Qiongbi and down to Huangquan, and the two places are all gone. Poet, where are you? Finding this poet among 1.2 billion people is probably not as easy as finding a needle in a haystack, nor is it easier than finding a living rat in a cat. After thinking about it, Lei Huanshan decided to ask Director Zuo to open the door of the poet's house to see if he could find any clues. The poet's house is relatively spacious, with a single courtyard in front and a small two-story building in the back.This is a good place for the old guerrilla to sit and enjoy the blessings and retire forever. Unexpectedly, the building is empty and there is no shadow, but the plants and trees in the courtyard seem to know that the old man will come back, and they are still verdant.A gentle cool breeze blows from among the ivy, which makes people forget. On the long stone bench and under the grape trellis, there is a bicycle leaning on it. He unscrewed the lock of the door downstairs of the small building, opened the door, and a few chiefs on the left walked in lightly. The tables and chairs, the sofa, the teacups, the TV, and the decorations on the wall in the room were all covered with a thick layer of dust. Maybe it was the vibration of footsteps, maybe it was the call of the door opening, but there were some dust on the ground. As if the dust had woken up from sleep, it fluttered like catkins, dancing, dancing, dancing into a piece of tender and grievous music. The chief on the left stood still, staring intently at the huge and solemn portrait of the old guerrilla. On both sides of the portrait is an elegiac couplet: It can be seen that the poet in the elegiac couplet is full of tears and filled with resentment, and it can also be seen that the poet cherishes strongly, and he will definitely seek revenge from Cheng Jiaqing.So how did he get his revenge? Director Zuo saw another couplet in his study: This couplet is full of charm, full of the ease and ease of Jin people waving five strings and watching Feihong, which is obviously one of the poet's rare works. The books in the study are mainly about literary aesthetics, and the literature books are mainly about poetry and drama.There are all kinds of pillows and pillows.As soon as it was turned over, choking dust came to the nostrils. Director Zuo also found the poet's diary in the drawer: If you travel far away, why don't you even take the diary that is closest to your heart?With doubts, Director Zuo casually flipped through a few pages—…China no longer has classes, and class struggle no longer exists, but the struggle between justice and evil has never stopped for a day, and I don’t think it will stop... …I used to think Lu Xun's books were gray, or even black.Now I know it's just the exterior, its red-hot volcanic lava rushing and surging beneath the gray-black exterior.It finds eyes that can appreciate him in the dark night sky. It can erupt like a volcano and be colorful like fireworks. Now I love reading Lu Xun's books.Those lingering romances now seem so powerless... It has been several months since my father died violently, and several complaint letters have been sent, but there has been no reply... I found my father's former friend Jiang Shangfei. He was shocked when he saw me, and advised me to escape from An Ning as soon as possible.What can I do to escape?My father's revenge has not been avenged, my father's grievances have not been resolved, am I still a human being if I live in this world? …… Fatty Ma from the Public Security Bureau found me today and raised the letter in his hand to me. He said loudly, “I have the letter of your complaint now. I think you should stop suing me. Sue again. , but still sent a letter back and sent it to me. When I got here, I just threw it in the wastebasket." I really don't understand how my letter of complaint fell into his hands... In the diary there is On the last page of the text—… Today, Fatty Ma from the Public Security Bureau came to me again, and said to me in a half-threatening, half-admonishing tone: "You should restrain yourself, little guy, don't let people treat you like a bug It's the same shot. I'm doing it for your own good. Don't be stupid. If it wasn't for your stubborn father, I would have locked you up. Handcuff your hands and feet, and watch your How far can the voice go!" He also said: "A person who knows the current affairs is a hero, and I also eat based on people's faces, so don't be too naughty. If you make me feel uneasy, don't blame me for being ruthless." I know exactly whose order he came here.Do you really want to kill me?Then he will come?There is an old saying: If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself.Besides, "Yesterday the roof was very hot, but today it is very busy outside the door." Looking at it now, someone is very prosperous on the surface. This is because people are taking care of him, but it is nothing more than the trend of interests. How many people will there be? People approach a snake, either to get the pearl in its mouth, or to hit it seven inches, I am the latter kind of person.I think that I am not the only one who can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, a villain who has done many evils and is unspeakable. In fact, people have already eliminated him in their hearts.You can see that he is still alive and well today, proud and confident, but maybe it will be tomorrow... This passage makes Zuo Chuchang's eyes and heart beat. Back at Wenfeng Hotel, Lei Huanshan also read the letter.Director Ma's Fatty Ma mentioned in the letter must be Director Ma of the Public Security Bureau. Director Zuo proposed to Lei Huanshan to detain Director Ma, but Lei Huanshan did not answer directly, but sighed: "If you pull one hair, you will affect the whole body. To arrest one Cheng Jiaqing, I don't know how many people will be drawn." "The main reason is that there are too many slaves in An Ning, and the slave's understanding is particularly good. When the master is happy, he is also happy; when the master is frowning, he also worries with him; with one look from the master, he can know which step to take; When the master hiccups, he knows what the master ate last meal and what he should eat next meal; the master's palm is a little itchy, and his fist sticks out first." "It seems that Director Ma is indeed Cheng Jiaqing's accomplice. He helped Cheng Jiaqing cover up the truth about Huang Hai being hit by a car, helped Cheng Jiaqing suppress the laid-off workers, and helped Cheng Jiaqing threaten the poet who had no experience in the world. He obeyed Cheng Jiaqing's orders. Loyal and loyal. He also knows that it is impossible to be unfaithful and disobedient. If he wants to be in prison as the chief of the bureau, he has to work for certain people, otherwise, others will have to kick him out. He is in the society How can it be so beautiful?——In today's society, in the eyes of some people, the hat on a person's head is his face. Without a hat, he has no face. From this perspective, Director Ma is indeed a wise person. Those with a backer rely on the backer, and those without a backer hug other people's thick legs as a backer. Director Ma is also very clear about this." "It's too selfish to be wise, so it's okay to be confused. I think that although Director Ma may not have participated in the Double Ten murder case, there are indications that he is Cheng Jiaqing's main partner who committed crimes in Anning." "But he can't be detained now." , beat the side drum for him first, so that he will run out in fright." "If you want to find out the whereabouts of the poet, I'm afraid you can't find him-perhaps only he knows the whereabouts of the poet." "Will he say it?" "I think that Cheng Jiaqing is already in prison, and he has no backing. People like this are their forte." "That's not necessarily true. If the sparks didn't explode on his head, he would continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Only when the sparks exploded on his head and burned his scalp ached, would he speak." "I can only try it." "Okay. But don't show the diary. Even if he did, he'd deny it." Sure enough, when Director Zuo found Director Ma, Director Ma denied that he knew any "poet".Regarding the old Guerrilla, he said that he knew him, but he had never dealt with him before, and he was more slippery than a loach. He knew that Director Ma was denying it, and Director Zuo couldn't do anything about him.When Director Ma politely sent Director Zuo out the door, Director Zuo's face was distorted with anger.Back at the Wenfeng Hotel where the headquarters of the investigation team of the Double Ten Case was stationed, Director Zuo's sullen and serious expression told Director Lei Huanshan Ma's attitude. "I think I should show him the diary, and he will collapse immediately if he sees it. He won't cry until he sees the coffin." Lei Huanshan looked at Director Zuo, squinted his eyes and smiled. "Not to mention Director Ma, finding a poet is probably more difficult than finding a kite with a broken string." "Then what do you think of it?" "Then, post a missing person notice." "It's a way, but I don't see it working." "why?" "Do you think, if the poet is still alive, would he suspect a fraud? What if it is a missing person notice that tells him to throw himself into a trap." "That's right, if it were someone else, they wouldn't show up foolishly, in case they were going to kill themselves to silence them." "Don't think too much, I think maybe Director Ma will tell you the truth soon." "How is it possible?" Director Zuo was very strange. He didn't believe it. He had spent a lot of effort just now, but he couldn't get a word out of Director Ma's mouth.However, Director Ma, the old fox, will take the initiative to hand you the tail for you to grab. "You wait." "Then I'll wait." Director Zuo was dubious.Half of the belief comes from his knowledge of Lei Huanshan's knowledge of things like a god, and the half of doubt comes from his experience of Director Ma's stubborn attitude. About half an hour later, someone knocked on the door and came in. "Director Left, call." "Who's here?" "Director Ma of the Public Security Bureau, he said he must call you, immediately." "Okay, I'll come." Lei Huanshan looked at Director Zuo, squinted his eyes and smiled again.That look seems to be asking: How do I estimate? Director Zuo, who was still very puzzled, followed.In less than five minutes, he strode in again, as if with a different face, a face that can only be found on a festive day. "Old Lei, you are a god! The old fox poured out all of it." "He said where is the poet now?" "Sent to a madhouse by him." "It's so lawless! Send a good-looking person to the madhouse, is it sent to Nanzhang?" "According to the old fox, it was not sent to Nanzhang, but to the Qichun area." "Well, the goal of sending it to Nanzhang is big, so I sent it to Qichun, who doesn't attract much attention. I worked hard to get home. Director Zuo, you should take someone to look for it right away." "Okay, I'll take someone there right away." Walking to the door, Director Zuo turned around again. "How do you know Director Ma will speak out?" "Show the diary to the surname Ma. He knows that we are just looking for it. If there is no clue at all, and there is no possibility of finding it, he will grit his teeth tighter than a prison. Instead of showing him the diary, let him He knows that we are looking for someone, but he does not let him know our depth and how we are looking. In this way, he must be very nervous. He will think this way: instead of letting others speak out, it is better to say it sooner. If you come out, the crime will be lesser. Besides, if you tell him, even if you find the child, who knows what will happen to the child in that kind of place? It may have been changed beyond recognition, and he won’t know if you ask him. So , After thinking about it, he still chose to speak out." "No wonder the old fox said that he had too many things to do and almost forgot. In fact, he can't forget it even if he wants to—can he just forget this kind of immoral thing?" Director Zuo drove to Qichun with two police officers. In Qichun Mental Hospital, the dean received Director Zuo and others. "No one! I'm sure no one ever sent this one." The dean is a woman in her fifties, with a self-serving appearance, thin and capable, wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses. She took the photo provided by Director Zuo, looked at it through the glasses, and then took off the glasses to look at it. "There is no such person! I'm sure no one has sent this person here, I'm sure! He failed the college entrance examination?" "no." "Did you suffer setbacks in love?" "no." "Not married?" "Not married." "In the past two years, only three young people in their early twenties who have never been married have been admitted. Two women and one man. The man has been cured and discharged from the hospital." "Is it him?" "No, I'm sure not." "You think again?" "Do you think I'm old, my eyes are dim, and I can't see people clearly?" "That's not what I mean. It's just that this person is important to us and we have to find him." "Breaking the law, are you wanted?" "No." "Comrade Zuo, you have to trust us. We are not a magic team here, and we can't change the person you want." "This man is very important to our case. Think again, you?" "I said, why is your comrade like this? It's like a dog's skin plaster." Director Zuo almost suspected that Director Ma had colluded with this woman.Otherwise, why did Director Ma say it so easily? Could it be that the poet has already been dealt with by them? Director Zuo's heart sank suddenly. "Think again? A fat man in police uniform sent it." "Oh, oh, I remembered. It was a night of heavy rain. A big fat man drove a young man in a jeep. The fat man claimed to be a staff member of Anfeng County." "No, the public security officers of Anning County." "Then I don't know. Anyway, he told me that he is from Anfeng County. I heard him yelling to open the door. After opening the door, he dragged a person in like a sack. I saw this fat man Put away the batons." "What happened to that person?" Director Zuo's eyes suddenly lit up. "That person passed out at that time. He was very thin, his body was covered in mud, and his whole body was soaked." "Is he awake?" "Wake up is sure to wake up, but we haven't seen him wake up." "We put him in a separate isolation room first, and we want to diagnose whether his condition is serious and what type of mental illness he belongs to when he wakes up the next day. Because it is night, and his body is dirty. After locking the door, everyone went to sleep. The next day someone opened the door and found that the window glass was smashed, and the patient who was sent escaped.” "He ran away, and what happened next?" "I never saw this person again after that. I also never saw that fat man in police uniform again." "That fat man didn't leave his address?" "He left it. We told him to send the patient back according to the address he left, but the letter was sent back—there was no such person. It seems that the fat man used a pseudonym." "So, you never saw this young man again?" Director Zuo took back the photo of the poet from the dean's hand. The Headmistress shook her head. The chief on the left frowned, like a champion who was only 100 meters away from the finish line suddenly had a cramp, feeling more uncomfortable in his heart than his body.Where could an unfortunate child, alone, wander off?However, he felt lucky for him, who knows if he would be crazy or stupid today if he landed here? "Thank you for the information." Director Zuo shook hands with the dean to say goodbye. Back in Anning, Lei Huanshan stood up as soon as he saw Director Zuo. "How? Found it?" "Let me tell you the good news first." "Go ahead." "The child may still be alive." "And the bad news?" "We don't know his current whereabouts yet. He's not in Qichun Mental Hospital." "You, first give me a piece of candy, and then give me a pill." "Then what should we do now?" "People flock together, animals form flocks, and there are no camels in the flock. I think since he likes to write, he might as well ask cultural people. Teachers and friends in the past, important figures in the cultural world." "Last time he had a A classmate told me that a man who looked like him but had a scar on his face was found at the Guangzhou Railway Station." "This is also a clue to refer to." "Will he remain anonymous?" "It's possible. But there is one thing, the old Guerrilla's unrevenged revenge must be kept in his heart." "Then why didn't he come back when he heard the news of Cheng Jiaqing's arrest?" "Father Qing is not dead, and Lu's disaster is not over. Although Cheng Jiaqing has fallen, his minions and accomplices are still there. Director Ma is a ready-made example." "Not only Director Ma, but also some people who are used by Cheng Jiaqing are still there. Whenever I see these people, I can't get angry. In the past, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, but now the trees are falling and the monkeys are here." "Then what can be done? After all, there are not many people with the integrity of independent personality. How many people can avoid the vulgarity? When talking about mountains in mountains, talking about water in water, you have to chant scriptures in front of the Buddha." "Old Lei, you also have this idea" "Do you think I have this idea?" After finishing speaking, Lei Huanshan and Director Zuo laughed together.
