Chapter 543 Clues
“How about…after the cremation, let us handle the ashes.”

After listening to her husband’s words, Luo Min hesitated for a while, and finally expressed her thoughts.

Li Yancheng looked at his wife in surprise. He didn’t expect her to say that.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You said it yourself. She may not have any other relatives in this world. At least you and she were once husband and wife. No matter what she did before, she never had any bad intentions towards you. Just for this reason, I am willing to help her deal with her affairs after her death.”

“You!” Li Yancheng was somewhat touched and also somewhat amused. What on earth was going through this woman’s mind all day?

What do you mean you never had any bad thoughts towards him?
If she knew that when Chen Yunwei asked the doctor to find him, she used the name of his wife, I wonder if she would still be willing to handle the affairs of that woman after her death.

Li Yancheng knew his wife had good intentions, but…

Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, Luo Min squeezed his hand and said, “Okay, just leave it to me. You don’t have to show up. I know it’s not appropriate for you to do this.”

After saying this, she looked at Guan Weidong who was driving and said, “Weidong…”

“Chief Luo, you said…”

Hearing Luo Min calling him, Guan Weidong turned his head and looked back in the rearview mirror.

“When you take people to clean Chen Yunwei later, tell the hospital and the prison separately and tell them that I will take care of her ashes. If there are any expenses, I will pay for it.”

Guan Weidong quickly glanced at Li Yancheng through the rearview mirror. Seeing that his leader did not say anything, he nodded and said, “I understand, Chief Luo.”

Only then did he realize that his leader had been married. He knew about it. He had previously thought…

Come to think of it, how could the Luo family marry off their daughter without investigating the man’s background?

He almost laughed at himself for being so stupid.

This incident changed his perception of his leader’s lover a lot.

Before, he always thought that Deputy Section Chief Luo was a serious person, the same whether he was outside or at home.

I also feel sorry for the leader. Marrying a wife like this may be prestigious, but life is too boring.

Moreover, the woman is stronger than the man (so he thought), and the thought of it makes him feel uncomfortable.

Although men of this era say that women hold up half the sky, they are actually still patriarchal at heart. Most of them believe that a family should be one in which the man works outside and the woman works inside.

If the family is one in which the woman is strong and the man is weak, no matter how many compliments others say to him, the man will not be able to hold his head up in public.

This situation can only change slowly with the development of society. It is far from being able to change the old ideas in people’s minds by just shouting a few slogans.

Just like Li Yancheng, although he is already a director-general level cadre, in the eyes of many people, his family is also one where the woman is strong and the man is weak.

However, this strong woman refers to the woman’s family.

Only the real people themselves understand that Li Yancheng marrying the daughter of the Luo family is a powerful combination.

People like Su Xiaotong’s father, Mr. Su, the leader of the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Fang who has left the Social Affairs Bureau but has not retired, all know Mr. Luo’s temper and personality very well.

At their age, it is difficult to change some of their old ideas unless they can provide substantial evidence.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so much opposition when the decision to reform and open up was made two years ago.

It is because no one knows whether this matter is good or bad, and no one can tell what the future will be like.

Of course, Li Yancheng must be excluded here.

In the eyes of Mr. Su and others, Mr. Luo is more conservative.

This conservatism does not mean that Mr. Luo is an old-fashioned person, but that he has always firmly believed that this is the path that China should take.

But I don’t know when this idea started to change, and the change was very big.

Later, when several old comrades were chatting together, they found out that it was actually Li Yancheng who brought about Mr. Luo’s transformation.

It was this young son-in-law who often talked about the importance of economic development in front of Mr. Luo.

Talking about the necessity of the country investing heavily in infrastructure construction.

Such as water, electricity, roads and railways.

Mumbling…

And so on and so forth. In short, for such a big country, everything needs money.

Money is very important. The country must have money and the people must become prosperous.

Poverty should not be exclusive to a country with a social nature like ours.

We should take a path that is unique to China and most suitable for us.

Instead of repeating the path that others have taken.

This road is bound to be full of thorns, but if you work hard to walk out of it, you will definitely enjoy different scenery.

And this road will definitely have many people’s names engraved on it.

How should I put it? The things that Li Yancheng told Mr. Luo were all verified by facts in the previous life.

When he was talking about those things with his father-in-law, he deliberately eliminated some of the pitfalls he had encountered during his development in his previous life.

Of course, what he said was not particularly detailed. After all, he had never worked in the local government in his previous life and had always been in the enterprise. He could not see many documents about local economic development.

The information he had was basically summarized from the Internet and was rather general. Even so, it still left his father-in-law dumbfounded.

In this way, Li Yancheng constantly instilled the advantages and disadvantages of economic development to his father-in-law for ten years, and really changed Luo’s conservative ideas a lot. So, when the right time came, this old comrade became a staunch supporter of reform and opening up.

This change of his not only aroused the curiosity of several old comrades who were very familiar with him, such as Mr. Su, but also made that person quite surprised.

After several inquiries, I learned that all the changes in Mr. Luo were due to his son-in-law.

This is also the reason why Li Yancheng’s proposal to vigorously develop individual and private economy so that everyone has something to do and thus fundamentally improve the social security environment was reported in newspapers so quickly and was followed by an editorial.

Moreover, those old comrades, especially that one, blocked a lot of attacks from all sides for him. Otherwise, the verbal sparring of those conservatives alone would have been enough to make him feel like he was in heaven.

It was precisely because Li Yancheng made his father-in-law change his ways that at the meeting earlier this month, Mr. Luo was able to take a step further and become the first deputy, or executive deputy. Otherwise, if he still had the same political ideas as before, he would most likely retire this time.

Therefore, everyone who is familiar with them knows that Li Yancheng and Luo Lao, the father-in-law and son-in-law, actually complement each other. If you ignore their positions, it is hard to say who is stronger or weaker.

Moreover, this young son-in-law of the Luo family can be said to have saved Mr. Luo’s political life twice. This alone made many old comrades who knew the details drool at Li Yancheng and feel annoyed at the same time.

How come they didn’t discover such a rough jade back then?

It is obviously impossible to poach people now, so many people set their sights on the two children of the Li family.

Faced with the endless stream of people coming to propose marriage, Li Yancheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. His son was only ten years old, and his daughter was only seven. He felt that he couldn’t accept getting engaged now, and to a stranger at that.

In the end, it was his mother-in-law who stepped in and helped him fend off this wave of marriage proposals.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to refuse some people.

…Just as Li Yancheng and his wife were driving back, planning to enjoy their rare three-day holiday, the criminal who had been hiding in the dark became restless again after nearly a month.

Based on information provided by Qi Feng and his partner, Hu Rui, who is also one of the victims in the series of cases, the police have created a new portrait of the suspect that they believe is more reliable.

Age, height, body shape, and voice characteristics.

After obtaining this information, the police stations in Beijing conducted another round of investigation and visits to all residents in their jurisdiction, especially men.

This large-scale visit identified quite a few people who matched the physical description of the suspect listed in the joint investigation notice issued by the Municipal Bureau.

After the police station officers have identified someone who matches the physical description of the suspect, they will report it to the branch, which will then take over and engage in direct contact.

The criminal police teams of each branch mainly investigate the time periods of the three cases that occurred this year and the whereabouts of the people they are investigating during this time period.

There are a total of three time periods. As long as there is a case that cannot be explained clearly, the criminal police team of the branch will report it to the headquarters, and the headquarters will take over the investigation.

This is how they did it at the beginning, and Li Yancheng immediately rejected their approach after hearing about it.

It was changed to that as long as one of the three time periods can be explained clearly and someone can provide evidence, that person can be ruled out and there is no need to continue the investigation.

Of the three time periods for the crimes that they knew of this year, the earliest one occurred on May 1st Labor Day and the latest was on September 2nd, which is more than ten days ago.

Many people may not even remember what they did a week ago, let alone more than ten days ago or more than four months ago, and they have to remember it in detail down to the right time.

It is somewhat difficult to provide such detailed information.

The case must be solved and the criminals must be brought to justice. It is the duty of the police to protect the lives and property of the people, but this is not an excuse to disturb the public.

The series of cases had extremely bad consequences and spanned a very long period of time, causing a very bad impact on society.

If the police investigate this case and the person under investigation cannot clearly state his whereabouts and cannot provide relevant proof, then even if this person returns, he is likely to become socially dead, and the surrounding neighbors, including relatives and friends, will look at him strangely.

Li Yancheng specifically instructed that such a thing must not be allowed to happen. After the investigation is completed and the person is ruled out of suspicion, a clear explanation must be given and cannot be vague, especially to the neighborhood committee and street office where the person under investigation is located.

It is the citizens’ obligation to cooperate with the police, but this should not disturb the normal lives of the people.

The investigation had been going on for more than ten days. After receiving the list of people reported by the local police station, the criminal police teams of each branch conducted a detailed investigation and eliminated hundreds of suspicious persons, but the criminal was still not found.

This made everyone wonder whether the conditions for the investigation were wrong again.

Not only the front-line police officers were suspicious, Li Yancheng was also suspicious. Logically speaking, the information provided by Qi Feng and Hu Rui this time was relatively comprehensive. As long as no household or person was missed in the investigation, they should be able to track down this person. However, more than ten days have passed and there has been no news at all. This is a bit strange.

Unless the information provided by those two people was wrong.

This is not to say that they deliberately provided false information to mislead the police, but that the criminal’s anti-detection awareness was too strong and the two were also deceived.

I didn’t see his appearance, and it’s not easy to change his height and body shape, especially since he had a fight with Qi Feng. If he was disguised, it would be easily exposed under the intense action. Since there was no disguise, it means that this information is correct.

Then only age remains.

The judgment of the criminal’s age is based on the voice heard by the two people, and it is relatively easy to fake the voice.

The problem is that when the conditions for investigation were issued to each branch this time, the age of the suspects had been expanded. The cooperative investigation notice clearly states that age is not a necessary exclusion condition.

In other words, when police officers from the police station are investigating, they focus on people in their 50s and 60s, but they do not ignore people of other age groups. As long as they meet someone who matches the height and body shape, they will still investigate.

But it has come to this, why is there still no movement after more than ten days?

Li Yancheng was a little worried. There had been no movement in the past month since the case occurred on September 2nd. He was worried that the man would commit a crime again.

If another incident breaks out at this time, we will really have no way to explain to the people and the organization.

More importantly, tomorrow is National Day, a day of celebration for the whole country. If that guy presents a special “gift” on this day, it will be really fatal.

The night is getting deeper.

The children had already gone to bed in their respective rooms on the first floor, and his wife had fallen asleep in the bedroom due to his tossing and turning. He sat alone in the study, smoking in one hand and flipping through the case files of a series of cases with the other.

The case has come to this point, and it only needs the final push, but he just can’t find the right place to make that push. He always feels that there may be some clues that they have inadvertently missed.

call……

Exhaling the cigarette he had inhaled, Li Yancheng slammed the case file in his hand shut with a slight irritation.

If he could, he really wanted to throw the case file into the fire.

He has read it a lot in the past ten days. To be honest, he has almost torn it to pieces.

He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, stood up and twisted his body, his bones cracking. Just as he was about to walk out from behind the desk and go back to the bedroom to rest, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

As the light flashed, he put his foot down again and opened the photocopied case file on the desk.

After opening it, he quickly turned to the page where Qi Feng and his girlfriend Hu Rui provided clues.

It was recorded that Qi Feng fought with that man and ended up having one of his arms broken by that man, so that man ran away, but at the same time he also said that he should have broken at least one of that man’s ribs.

Qi Feng had practiced and fought often, so he knew the severity of his blows. Although he drank too much that day, he was still conscious. It was only because he felt dizzy that the man succeeded. However, he said that he broke at least one of the man’s ribs, so he should not have made a wrong judgment.

The man did not commit any crime for the next three months, and a case was not reported until the end of August. It is very likely that he was recuperating from his injuries during this period.

If a rib is broken and it is just a fracture, then it can be healed by resting. However, if it is completely broken and displaced, you must go to the hospital unless you can reposition it yourself.

Go to the hospital?
Hospital?!
Let’s give it a try and arrange for people to go to all the hospitals in the city to investigate whether there has been anyone who went to the hospital for broken ribs after May 1st.

If so, check!
Thinking of this, he reached for the phone on the table and dialed.

The on-duty leader of the headquarters tonight is Political Commissar Wan Changyou. Ever since he failed to make a report to Director Gao last time and was instead pointed out by Comrade Gao, Political Commissar Wan has been very cooperative with Li Yancheng’s work arrangements during this period.

He was especially terrified when he found that the two fires he had started in Rouhuai and Wuxuan were burning more and more fiercely, burning down the people in these two places.

Coupled with Li Yancheng’s remarks published in the newspaper, he realized at this time that people’s attention had long been on a higher level. They were considering some policy issues and focusing on the overall situation. They were not just focusing on the small things in front of them.

Indeed, from the moment he knew he would be transferred to the Municipal Bureau to work, Li Yancheng had never considered fighting for power here. He had always wanted to do something for this country.

Of course, although he doesn’t want to fight for power and profit, others cannot put their hands into his bowl.

In other words, Director Gao did not tell him about Wan Changyou’s tattling on him, otherwise, his third anger might have been directed at Political Commissar Wan, allowing him to feel the “care” from his superiors.

It was already past eleven o’clock. Wan Changyou was sleeping on the sofa in the office. The ringing of the phone woke him up.

When he heard the phone ringing, he didn’t even dare to stumble. He jumped up from the sofa, rushed to the desk and grabbed the phone.

“Hello, I’m Wan Changyou.”

The call so late at night was either from the superior checking on him or there was something very important. Under normal circumstances, the call would be made to the duty room, not to him.

But today he met a leader who did not play by the rules.

“Political Commissar, I’m Li Yancheng. I’m really sorry to call you so late and disturb your rest.”

When Wan Changyou, who was originally a little dazed, heard the voice of his direct supervisor on the phone, he suddenly became alert.
