Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Jin Man frowned and asked coldly: "Then how do you want to investigate?"

"Is there any firsthand investigation data on the fire? I want to see it. I also want to meet the comrades who were in charge of the on-site investigation and the forensic doctor who performed the autopsy."

Jin Man nodded and said, "This case is handled by Deputy Director Yu Xueliang. I want him to come over and give you a detailed introduction."

Dabao nodded: "Okay,"

Jinman picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Deputy Director Yu? Please come to my office and bring all the materials about the fire in the District Government's Policy Research Office. Yes, all of them. Also notify the forensic doctor to come along. Yes, immediately."

She hung up the phone: "Deputy Director Yu will be here soon. Director Qin, are you planning to stay in Fangshan? Or go back to the city?"

If you live in Fangshan, I will have to arrange for you to stay with your fellow villagers, because there is no guesthouse in our area, so you can only stay with your fellow villagers temporarily."

Dabao shook his head: "No, we can just go back and forth from the city every day. But at noon, if possible, please provide us with meals."

Jin Man nodded: "That's no problem. Although we are short of food now, we can still afford one or two meals."

Wang Ming and Li Liang's faces changed as soon as these words came out. What was Director Jin talking about? Did he think we were begging for food?

In fact, in the minds of ordinary grassroots cadres, the superiors who come to do things are just begging for food. They not only want to eat enough, but also want to eat well.

Jin Man did not invite Da Bao to sit down, let alone offer him water. In fact, Da Bao had already seen that this office only had two chairs and not even an extra teacup. It seemed that this was the District Public Security Bureau, and it was in a bad state.

Jin Man has a strong personality. Whether at home or at work, everyone has to listen to her. If they don't, she will get furious. So over time, everyone stays away from her, for fear of being hurt by her hedgehog personality. Most strong women have this personality.

There were several soft knocks on the door. Jin Man called out, "Come in!" The door opened and a middle-aged man walked in, followed by a forensic doctor in a white coat. The middle-aged man was holding a stack of case files in his hand.

"Director Jin, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

Jin Man gestured to Da Bao with his chin.

"This is Director Qin from the Municipal Bureau's Discipline Inspection Commission. He's here with the Criminal Investigation Team 3 to investigate the fire at the Policy Research Office."

Yu Xueliang shook hands with Dabao. After hearing Jinman's words, he was startled and looked at Dabao.

"Director Qin, why do you, the Discipline Inspection Department, also want to review previous cases? Aren't you meddling in other people's business?" His tone was very firm. It seemed that he, like Jin Man, had a strong personality and was not good at speaking. No wonder he felt depressed in this place called a district but actually a town.

Dabao glanced at him and said, "The case you reported has many suspicious points, so the Criminal Investigation Department has decided to reiterate it. Since it involves the district-level government, for the sake of fairness, we, the Discipline Inspection Commission, will supervise the handling of the case by the three major Criminal Investigation Departments. This is also a small adjustment.

If this operation is effective, in the future, when we encounter controversial cases or cases with unclear facts, our disciplinary inspection and supervision personnel will follow up on the cases until they are concluded. If there are no false charges or wrongful convictions, our disciplinary inspection and supervision personnel will sign off on them before they are sent to the procuratorate and the court.

Yu Xueliang smiled and adjusted his glasses.

"Director Qin, we have already investigated the arson case in the Policy Research Office. Director Gao Dahe was dissatisfied with the attitude of his superiors, so he took revenge.

The day before the fire, Gao Dahe had argued with District Chief Qin Mingwei about a promotion. According to District Chief Qin, the Party Committee held a meeting to discuss the promotion of some cadres, and Gao Dahe was removed from the list for some reason.

Dabao interrupted and asked, "Some reason? What reason?"

Yu Xueliang shook his head: "District Chief Qin didn't say that."

Dabao glanced at Yu Xueliang and said, "Go on."

Gao Dahe held a grudge against the office and, impulsively, set fire to it. At the time, there were four people in the office: Gao Dahe, Deputy Director Dong Minghe, and Section Members Xie Donglin and Fan Debiao.

After the fire started, Xie Donglin and Fan Debiao were the first to faint due to the heavy smoke. According to Dong Minghe, he was drinking tea at the time, so he took out a handkerchief, poured tea on it, and covered his mouth and nose to avoid being fainted by the smoke.

He desperately dragged the unconscious Xie Donglin and Fan Debiao out of the fire scene. When he returned, he found Director Gao was already covered in flames, still shouting "Burn you to death, burn you to death."

Dabao interrupted and said, "In other words, Dong Minghe was certain that Gao Dahe set the fire based on this one sentence, is that right?"

Yu Xueliang nodded.

"Our conclusion is also based on the testimony of Deputy District Chief Dong, who escaped the fire, and two section officers. They also said that Gao Dahe had been absent-minded for the past two days, constantly mumbling things like, 'You dare to bully me? I'll kill you. I won't tolerate this anymore. What's mine is mine. You can't take it away.'"

Although Xie Donglin and Fan Debiao did not understand what it meant, Gao Dahe's mental state seemed a little abnormal.

Dabao said: "If that's the case, it can really prove that Gao Dahe set the fire. After all, he has a motive. But it's a bit ridiculous to hastily conclude the case based on Dong Minghe and his men's one-sided statement.

Director Jin, Deputy Director Yu, this is why we and our comrades from the Third Brigade are here to solve this case."

Yu Xueliang said: "Director Qin, this is not necessary, right? The case is already very clear, let's not waste our energy. We are serious about our work as a police officer."

Dabao looked through the materials Yu Xueliang handed him and came to the chapter on forensic identification. Dabao said,

"Who is the medical examiner?"

Yu Xueliang moved aside, revealing the man behind him. The man had messy hair, a thin face, wore a pair of glasses, and his white coat was not clean. Overall, he looked slovenly.

"Director Qin, this is forensic pathologist Zheng Wenlin,"

Zheng Wenlin nodded at Dabao.

"Director Qin, is there any problem?"

Dabao put the materials filled out by the forensic doctor on the table.

"Doctor Zheng, isn't your forensic report a little too simple? You didn't write about the changes in the body's surface, skin and soft tissue, internal organs, or bones.

Also, regarding the livor mortis, your description is too general, indicating that you did not perform an autopsy on the deceased, but only made a visual inspection. Why is that?"

Zheng Wenlin's expression remained unchanged.

"I'm sorry, Director Qin. This is all Director Yu's request. Keep everything simple and close the case immediately."

Yu Xueliang was anxious at that time.

"Old Zheng, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever ask you to keep things simple?"
