Yang Xiao asked Tong Ran to park the car and said:
"Chief Zhou, tell me."
Zhou Xiaoping was a little excited, his breathing became rapid, and he said:
“I don’t know if this incident is related to Xiao Cheng’s accident.
It just suddenly occurred to me.
A few days before Xiao Cheng's accident, the office received a legal consultation letter.
This letter was received by Xiao Cheng, and I didn’t know what it contained. I just heard Xiao Cheng casually say that he wanted to take time to go to Yuzui Village.
Officer Yang, this matter has been in the past for too long, and you didn’t think of it when you asked me just now..."
"Chief Zhou, thank you." Yang Xiao turned on the phone so that Tong Ran and Mao Anping could hear Zhou Xiaoping's voice and said:
"This clue is important.
Do you know where this letter is now? "
"Ouch!" Zhou Xiaoping said regretfully:
"I don't know that!
Maybe it was collected by Xiao Cheng, maybe it's in the archives of the Judicial Office.
Who knows!
Our judicial office receives a lot of letters like this every year, and most of them are filed in the archives.
I don’t know if I can still find it now. "
Yang Xiao hung up the phone and said to Tong Ran and Mao Anping:
"Go back to Hong County!
You can just deal with it casually on the road. "
The incident happened in Hong County.
If you want to investigate clearly, you can only go back to Hong County.
The clues provided by Zhou Xiaoping are valuable.
Cheng Liyan had an accident on his way to Yuzui Village.
Maybe by finding that letter and figuring out the reason why Cheng Liyan went to Yuzui Village, we can figure out the accident.
Moreover, the judicial office six years ago is now the Hong County Justice Bureau, and many of the staff there are colleagues of Cheng Liyan. They may be able to provide more clues.
On the way back to Hong County, Yang Xiao talked with Cheng Chuan on the phone.
Yang Xiao mentioned the letter.
Neither Cheng Chuan nor his mother was impressed by this.
Judicial work involves personal privacy. Letters come from victims of family disputes and disputes, people whose rights and interests have been harmed, and even family members of prisoners. Staff rarely mention work matters after returning home, let alone leave letters. bring home.
Cheng Liyan did not tell his wife whether he went to Yuzui Village because of the letter he received.
Yang Xiao and the others left Rongcheng overnight and returned to Hong County.
Early the next morning.
Yang Xiao took Tong Ran and Mao Anping out of the dormitory of the Public Security Bureau and went straight to the office building of the County Justice Bureau.
Tong Ran looked for Cheng Liyan's old colleagues in the Justice Bureau to learn about the situation.
Yang Xiao and Mao Anping went to the archives room.
I hope I can find that letter from six years ago.
The director of the Justice Bureau office shook his head after hearing Yang Xiao's intention and said:
"It's hard to find letters from six years ago!
According to regulations, unless it is a report letter, our bureau will keep it permanently on file, and other letters will be cleared every two years.
It’s hard to say whether I can find it or not.
Come with me! "
The office director brought Yang Xiao and Mao Anping to the archives room and shouted:
"Chief Ma, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau are here to check some information. You can receive them."
The section chief of the archives, who was in his fifties and about to retire, wore a pair of thick glasses on his nose and led Yang Xiao and Mao Anping into the room where a large number of paper documents were stored.
Yang Xiao felt dizzy looking at the rows of shelves.
Although computers have become popular nowadays, due to limitations in performance and hard disks, organizations still mainly use paper for documents that need to be saved.
In small counties like Hong County, most units use traditional office methods, and computers are still rare gadgets. The county organizes cadres to study, and some old comrades can do nothing except play cards with them.
A letter sent to the Judicial Office six years ago!
Even if it is still stored in the archives, no one except Cheng Liyan knows the content of the letter, let alone the sender. They can only open and read each letter one by one. It is not easy to find out.
Yang Xiao frowned and asked:
"Chief Ma, where are the letters from the masses stored?"
"There!" Section Chief Ma adjusted his glasses frame, pointed to several large boxes in the corner, and said:
“In the early years, I wrote a lot of letters.
If anything happens now, I always call directly.
All letters received by the office in recent years are here.
What are you looking for? "
Yang Xiao noticed that Chief Ma was about the same age as Cheng Liyan and asked:
"Chief Ma, I see you are also a veteran of the Justice Bureau.
Do you know Cheng Liyan, whom you mentioned six years ago? "
Section Chief Ma’s eyes, hidden under his thick lenses, lit up and asked:
"You are here to check on Lao Cheng!
After Lao Cheng's accident, I led people to clean up his desk. Except for his personal belongings which were taken away by his family, everything else was still there.
Don't worry, let me think about it! Where was it placed? "
Section Chief Ma slapped his head and rummaged through the archives while complaining that young people today were not practical and had made the archives a mess. Many things had been moved and it was difficult to find them.
"found it!"
Section Chief Ma dug out a dusty box from the corner, walked to Yang Xiao with it in his arms, and said:
“Everything on Lao Cheng’s desk is here.
There are several letters inside. I don’t know if they are what you are looking for. Take a look at them yourself. "
"Thank you, Chief Ma." Mao Anping took the box from Chief Ma, walked to the window of the archives room, and opened the box in front of Yang Xiao.
There weren't many things inside, just a few black notebooks, a few newspapers from six years ago, some expired documents, and a work photo torn from the wall.
Cheng Liyan was wearing a black suit, with a judicial badge representing fairness and justice on his chest, and a bright smile on his face. He was completely different from the skinny man who was being tortured now.
Cheng Chuan looks very much like his father.
Yang Xiao took the photo from Mao Anping and placed it on the windowsill.
The notebook is full of meeting minutes.
In one of the notebooks were three yellowed letters.
"found it!"
Mao Anping shouted excitedly.
Yang Xiao took out his gloves from his trouser pocket, put them on and took out three letters from his notebook, opened them all, took out the letter paper, and laid it out in front of him.
All three letters were letters inquiring about legal issues.
One of the letters was from a woman named Zhang Fen, asking about divorcing her husband. She wanted to divide more of the couple's joint property, and she wrote to ask the lawyer at the judicial office if there was any way.
The second letter claimed to be a migrant worker from Hong County who came to Yangcheng to work. His boss had delayed his wages and he wanted to know how to file a lawsuit and get his labor remuneration back.
The last letter is quite interesting.
The person who wrote the letter did not sign, and the handwriting was very sloppy. It did not look like it was written by an adult. After repeated identification, the person who wrote the letter claimed that someone had faked his identity to study in college. I would like to ask if there is any way to help. Take back your identity.
Although the letter was unsigned, the letterhead was a piece of waste paper. The person who wrote the letter wrote the words on the back, and the letterhead had "Yuzui Village Village Committee" printed in large red characters!
