Chen Shaoping rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the news.
The crime occurred in the forest farm compound one kilometer away from the Manchu Town Police Station.
The Gaozhai Mountains in Renli Town were once densely wooded and a source of timber. A logging station specialized in exploiting timber was set up here.
As the trees became overexploited and the forest was severely damaged, logging stations were removed.
The forest farm compound was the former family compound of the logging station employees. The victim, Ma Xiaoming, lived with his mother in the forest farm compound.
After get off work, Ma Xiaoming rode a battery car home and was beaten severely at the entrance of the compound.
When Chen Shaoping arrived, the scene had been cordoned off and Ma Xiaoming's body was covered with a piece of white cloth.
Chen Shaoping walked over and gently opened the white cloth. He saw a deformed face, a bloody slit on the top of his head, and his shoulders were obviously deformed after being beaten...
Chen Shaoping vaguely recalled Ma Xiaoming's appearance during his lifetime: a plain-looking policeman, thin, didn't talk much, and didn't have a strong sense of presence...
"Xiao Ming..."
A scream came over, and a thin woman with white hair rushed over crying.
This is Ma Xiaoming's mother. She fell to the ground before she could reach Ma Xiaoming's body. Chen Shaoping quickly went up to help her, but was pushed away.
She cried and rushed to Ma Xiaoming's body and let out an earth-shattering cry: "Xiao Ming, my son..."
In the dark night, the dim street lights dimmed the light. Ma Xiaoming's mother threw herself on the body and cried bitterly.
Chen Shaoping, Zhang Gui, Zhang Sanchuan, Lao Gu, Li Songbo, Luo Wenqiang... all stood silently, like stone statues that could not move.
The lights of the police car flickered dimly in the black night...
At one o'clock in the morning, Chen Shaoping finished handling all the problems and returned to the dormitory.
He sat in front of the window, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it. At this time, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
Zhang Sanchuan and Lao Gu knocked on the door outside, and came in with a barbecue and a bottle of wine.
"I know you can't sleep. Can we brothers have some drinks?" Zhang Sanchuan asked with a smile.
Chen Shaoping nodded, put out the cigarette butt on the table, and said, "Drink some! But not too much!"
"Shaoping, the situation here is much more complicated than we imagined!" Zhang Sanchuan took a sip of wine and said with emotion.
Chen Shaoping nodded and said: "The most terrifying thing is: except for our own people, no one here can be trusted!"
Zhang Sanchuan nodded with deep understanding, and then asked: "Shaoping, what are you going to do next?"
"Yangjiacun is an important breakthrough!" Chen Shaoping replied.
"If we rush to investigate Yangjiacun now, we will definitely alert the enemy. Those bastards can do anything!" Zhang Sanchuan said.
"That's right!" Chen Shaoping nodded and said, "So I'm going to make it impossible for these scoundrels to stay in Renli Town any longer... vigorously rectify the entertainment venues in Renli Town, and close down all entertainment venues suspected of gambling, prostitution, and fighting. !”
"I heard from Sister Yang that it is not easy for people to open entertainment venues in Renli Town, including Qianlong's industry!" Zhang Sanchuan said while drinking.
"No matter whose property it is, as long as it violates the law, rectification must be stopped. It's useless for anyone to come!" Chen Shaoping said firmly.
"This will put a lot of pressure on the police station. After all, a policeman just died!" Zhang Sanchuan analyzed.
"This is my preliminary idea. I will still discuss it with Director Zhang before implementing it, and report to County Magistrate Li in advance!" Chen Shaoping said.
Zhang Sanchuan nodded: "This is the best!"
"Lao Gu, your skills are not simple, I give you a toast!" Chen Shaoping picked up the wine glass and said to Lao Gu.
Lao Gu smiled and said: "Shaoping, Sanchuan and I are brothers in this place. Without him, I would have died in this place... I promised Sanchuan to help you before, but now I admire you from the bottom of my heart... …The world needs people like you!”
Lao Gu was very quiet on weekdays and seemed to cherish his words like gold. Chen Shaoping was quite moved by his heartfelt emotion today.
"Lao Gu, Sanchuan, you have suffered a lot by following me here. You have to be on guard at all times, and your life may be in danger if you are not careful... I can't help you!" Chen Shaoping took a sip of wine.
"Shaoping, let's not talk about this between us!" Zhang Sanchuan took a sip of wine.
There is a market every five days in Renli Town. On this day, people from all the surrounding villages have agreed to go to the streets of Renli Town to conduct business.
After all, Renli Town is a big town with more than 50,000 people. On the market day, it is still very prosperous.
In the morning, Chen Shaoping discussed with Zhang Gui, the director of the police station, how to intensify measures to rectify public security in Renli Town.
Zhang Gui agreed, but asked Chen Shaoping to give Zhang Gui some time. He was trying to find a way to find out the insider in the police station. At present, he has targeted three staff members who may be moles.
The conversation between the two unknowingly reached 12:30 noon, and Chen Shaoping proposed to eat at Renli Market.
The two of them walked towards Renli Market. There were various products on both sides of the street, mostly cheap clothes, shoes and socks.
There are people wearing white coats, setting up street stalls selling medicine, pulling teeth...
There is someone who drags a cart all over the street selling rat poison...
There is also a loudspeaker facing the fruit on the ground, playing "10 yuan for 3 pounds..." in a local accent.
After walking through the street, there is an open space. On market day, people will set up tents around the open space, and there will be many small restaurants.
This type of small restaurant has average sanitary conditions, but the price is cheap and the taste is good.
Chen Shaoping and Zhang Gui were going to find a nice little restaurant and have a casual meal. As they were walking, Chen Shaoping saw a woman with a ponytail and an apron cooking vegetables in a small tent.
Chen Shaoping suddenly felt familiar, took a few steps closer, and immediately shouted happily: "Guan Qingmei, is that you?"
The woman who was cooking just finished cooking a dish. When she heard someone calling her, she immediately stopped and looked at Chen Shaoping for a few seconds, and then she also became happy: "Chen Shaoping, is that you?"
"It's me!" Chen Shaoping smiled and nodded, and said to Zhang Gui: "Zhang Suo, this is our high school classmate, let's come and patronize her business!"
Guan Qingmei immediately asked Chen Shaoping and Zhang Gui to sit down and poured tea for them.
"Chen Shaoping, I remember your family is from Songguan Town. How did you come to Renli?" Guan Qingmei asked curiously.
"I came to Renli Town to work!" Chen Shaoping replied.
"Work? Oh, did you get admitted to Renli Town?" Guan Qingmei asked again.
"This classmate of yours is now our top leader in Renli Town, Secretary Chen!" Zhang Gui said to Guan Qingmei with a smile.
After Guan Qingmei heard this, her eyes widened in shock.
