At around 9:30, Yi Chengjie, the director of the Lanshan City Public Security Bureau Office, came to Liu Qingyu’s office and said with a smile on his face: “Director Liu, the bus is ready now, and now we can leave for the city funeral home. "
Liu Qingyu nodded lightly, and without saying a word, he followed Yi Chengjie downstairs, got on the bus, and went straight to the city funeral home.
On the bus, Liu Qingyu looked around and found that the bus that could accommodate 45 people was sparsely populated with less than 20 people. Among the 9 municipal bureau party committee members, except Liu Qingyu, only 3 were relatively ranked. The one in the back was on the bus, but Cai Baoshan, the executive deputy director who had called Liu Qingyu to ask if he was going to attend the funeral, was not on the bus.
Liu Qingyu frowned slightly, looked at Yi Chengjie and asked, "Comrade Yi Chengjie, why didn't I see Comrade Cai Baoshan get on the bus? Where did he go?"
Yi Chengjie said: "Director Liu, it's like this. This morning, the city government notified Director Cai to go over for a meeting. Therefore, although Director Cai originally planned to attend the funeral, due to the unlucky timing, he could only attend the funeral temporarily. He postponed the time to attend the funeral. He said that if he could catch up with the funeral after the meeting, it would be over. If he couldn't, he would only regret it."
When Liu Qingyu heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, but he had a little doubt in his heart. Logically speaking, the city government should notify him in advance if he was going to hold a meeting. However, he was only notified of the meeting at short notice this morning. This situation is relatively rare, and he has already done so. When you officially take office, it stands to reason that even if there is a meeting, you should first notify yourself, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and send someone there. However, now, the city government has directly notified Cai Baoshan to go there. There is no problem in this. , Liu Qingyu absolutely didn’t believe it.
However, Liu Qingyu didn't care about this, because he knew that he was just the commander in Lanshan City now, and the situation here was very complicated. If he wanted to open up the situation, it would definitely not be achieved overnight. Many things, even in his heart If you are dissatisfied, you must suppress it for the time being and wait until the situation in Arashiyama City is understood first.
On the bus, before Liu Qingyu got on the bus, everyone was chatting lively, and there were endless fights and laughter. However, since Liu Qingyu got on the bus, the bus suddenly became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads. Go, or play with your mobile phone, or whisper, the atmosphere seems very depressing.
Liu Qingyu sat on the left side of the front of the bus and didn't say much. He just leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to relax.
The municipal funeral parlor is located in the western suburbs of Lanshan City. The bus took more than 20 minutes to arrive at the municipal funeral parlor.
After getting off the bus, Liu Qingyu immediately saw a small group of people gathering outside a farewell hall on the west side of the funeral home. There were about thirty or forty people, including more than 10 people wearing police uniforms. There were more than 20 people in casual clothes. Liu Qingyu could guess without analyzing that this should be the place where the body of Officer Chen Tiancheng was held to bid farewell. The crowd gathered in twos and threes, either whispering to each other, discussing, or looking left and right.
However, at the same time, Liu Qingyu also saw a group of people gathering outside the auditorium on the east side not far from the farewell auditorium, but this group of people's farewell team was smaller than the farewell team on the west side. Much more majestic, this is a send-off team with more than 200 people. The entire team is all dressed in black suits, with white flowers on their chests. They are lined up in three neat lines and are waiting silently. There was no noise or noise in the team, they just waited silently, seemingly very organized and disciplined.
At this time, the heavy bell rang, the two auditorium doors slowly opened at the same time, and the farewell team standing in front of the door slowly entered the auditorium.
At this time, Liu Qingyu and his party all got off the bus. Under the guidance of Yi Chengjie, they came to the farewell auditorium on the west side and lined up to go in.
Looking at the direction of the entire team, Liu Qingyu's mood gradually became heavy, because he always had a feeling that there seemed to be a few people attending the farewell ceremony for Officer Chen Tiancheng's body. There were only more than fifty people in total, which was much smaller than the farewell team opposite. Logically speaking, Chen Tiancheng was a policeman who had made outstanding contributions to the anti-drug cause in Lanshan City, and he was considered a martyr. It stands to reason that in this case, the Lanshan City Public Security Bureau should at least organize a grand farewell ceremony to express comfort to the souls of the martyrs. Only in this way can the city bureau truly show its respect for those who sincerely serve the police cause. The importance attached to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives shows that the city bureau attaches great importance to every police officer. After all, as public security officers, especially those who are working on the front line against criminals such as criminal police and anti-narcotics police, they fight almost all the time. On the verge of life and death, those criminals don't care about east, west, north or south, or your status. For the sake of profit, they dare to do anything.
But now, the number of people attending Chen Tiancheng's funeral was much smaller than Liu Qingyu's imagination. Why is this? Why are there only so few people attending this funeral? Could it be that the waiter named Yang Qianqian at the municipal party committee guesthouse yesterday It is true that there are people in the government in Lanshan City who are spreading rumors to prevent people from coming to attend the funeral. Could it be that the words of those people are so powerful and can affect so many people.
Could it be that Cai Baoshan's absence is also related to these words?
For a moment, Liu Qingyu couldn't help but think of it.
Following the farewell procession, Liu Qingyu walked into the funeral hall, and at the same time saw three people at the position where the family members were answering the ceremony.
The three family members are all women. One is an old man in his seventies with a sallow complexion, a haggard appearance, and gray hair. The other is an ordinary-looking woman in her mid-thirties with endless sadness on her face. There is also a talented woman. A little girl who was about four years old and was already crying into tears.
Seeing these three people constantly greeting those who came to participate in the farewell ceremony under the reminder of the emcee, Liu Qingyu suddenly felt that something was touched deep in his heart, especially when Liu Qingyu saw that person When Chen Tiancheng, wearing a neat police uniform, was lying quietly on the coffin with a calm and serene expression, Liu Qingyu suddenly felt waves of cramps in his heart.
Two drops of eyes slowly slid down the corners of his eyes.
Holding the fake flower in his hand, he gently placed it next to Chen Tiancheng. He looked at Chen Tiancheng and murmured to himself: "Comrade Chen Tiancheng, thank you for your sacrifice for us, the people of Lanshan City. You can go with peace of mind. Your relatives will not be helpless. The party and the government will solve the worries for your family. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. As the newly appointed director of the Public Security Bureau, I will definitely seize those people as soon as possible. Let your murderers accept the punishment of the law and avenge you to appease your spirit in heaven."
Slowly walking to Chen Tiancheng's family, Liu Qingyu looked at Chen Tiancheng's mother and said slowly: "Old man, you and Ruifen (Chen Tiancheng's wife) must express your condolences and don't break your body from crying. I am the new director Liu
Qingyu, here, I promise you that our city bureau will catch those murderers as soon as possible and bring them to justice."
Hearing what Liu Qingyu said, the little girl suddenly looked at Liu Qingyu with angry eyes and said: "Uncle policeman, the murderer of my father is right across the street. Do you really dare to arrest them? My mother said
Well, except for my father, all of your police officers are paper tigers."
Hearing what the little girl said, the woman quickly reached out and pulled the little girl over, covered her mouth, and apologized to Liu Qingyu with tears: "Director Liu, don't listen to her nonsense. The child is ignorant, don't blame her."
.”
Liu Qingyu naturally wouldn't argue with the little girl, but what the little girl said was deeply imprinted in his heart. At the same time, he became very interested in the group holding the funeral opposite.
Liu Qingyu bent down, looked directly at the little girl and asked: "Nanny, whether you believe it or not, uncle can promise you here that he will definitely catch the murderers who killed your father, no matter what
No matter how powerful their background is, no matter how cruel they are, uncle will definitely make them pay the price they deserve."
At this moment, the woman also released her hand covering her daughter. The little girl looked at Liu Qingyu with doubts on her face and said, "Uncle, are you telling the truth? Are you not lying to me?"
Liu Qingyu shook his head: "No, uncle is the director and will not lie to others."
"Then let's pull the hook. Our kindergarten teacher said that after pulling the hook, you can't lie to others." After saying this, the little girl pressed her little finger.
Liu Qingyu also stretched out his little finger to hook up with the little girl.
Before the hooking was over, the little girl started crying again: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, I will never go to kindergarten again. The teacher doesn't want me anymore."
Hearing this, Liu Qingyu was stunned. While taking out a tissue to help the little girl wipe her tears, he looked at the woman next to him and asked, "Comrade Ruifen, why did my daughter say that?"
When Chen Tiancheng's wife Ma Ruifen heard this, her face showed helplessness and anger, and she said with tears: "It was the kindergarten teacher who informed us to take our daughter back, saying that the school no longer accepts her. I begged them repeatedly,
I asked them to give me another month and I would definitely pay the kindergarten tuition fees, but the school still refused."
When Liu Qingyu heard this, the anger in his heart suddenly emerged. Chen Tiancheng's body was still cold. Now, his child was expelled from kindergarten. Although from Ma Ruifen's words, Liu Qingyu heard that some factors were due to
Regarding the issue of tuition fees, Liu Qingyu believes that a normal kindergarten should take care of the children of a martyr and will never kick the children out of school just because of a one-month delay in paying tuition fees.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyu did not hesitate at all, and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Ruifen, please rest assured that you and your family will leave it to me to let Nannan go to school. I promise that Nannan can go to school tomorrow.
"
Hearing what Liu Qingyu said, the little girl's face showed a look of expectation. She looked at Liu Qingyu with gratitude and expectation and said, "Uncle, can I really go to school again?"
