Liu Ziguang was overjoyed and asked: "When will Old Chengtou be released?"
Zhou Wen said: "There are still some legal procedures to go through, and it may take a few days."
Liu Ziguang asked: "Can you ask for the specific date so I can hold a welcome ceremony?"
Zhou Wen complained: "My Mr. Liu, please don't make things difficult for me. I am the director of the Tourism Bureau, not the director of the Public Security Bureau. I only asked my friends for these information. Don't you have friends in the municipal bureau?"
Well, just ask them directly, why bother me?"
Liu Ziguang thought about it and called Hu Rong. Hu Rong said: "I have also heard about this matter. The old man is basically fine, but it is impossible to release him immediately. He must go through a court trial and a verdict before he can be released.
These procedures always have to be completed, and it is estimated that they will be released on the day of the trial, so you can just pay attention to the news."
Liu Ziguang said thank you and was about to hang up the phone when Hu Rong said again: "This matter is quite a fuss. I heard that a certain head of the central government personally called to inquire about it. In addition, today the Nantai County Bureau arrested several people and sent them to
Come from the city, did you do this?"
Liu Ziguang pretended to be confused: "What does it have to do with me?"
Hu Rong said: "Two officers of the General Staff were detained by the rural police station. I heard that they also injured people. You sent people to rescue them, right? The county bureau immediately investigated after learning about the situation and found out that it was a few temporary workers who did it."
, now the murderer has been eliminated and kidnapped and sent to the security headquarters."
Liu Ziguang sneered: "What a temporary worker. If something goes wrong, it's always a temporary worker. Those who have merit are the leaders."
Hu Rong said helplessly: "What else do you want? You can't find fault with what they did. By now, the county leaders may have gone to the hospital to visit the injured with gifts."
…
The Nantai County Party Committee conference room was filled with smoke. The county committee team gathered around an oblong conference table. They all imitated Secretary Zhang's dress, wearing dark jackets and trousers, white shirts without ties, and solemn expressions.
A 16-karat leather-covered notebook, with a pen in one hand and a cigarette in the other, listening carefully to Zhang Piao’s astronomy network. There are many posts about our county, and they are all on the Baidu search list. We must seize this opportunity, anti-Japanese theme
We should set up a stage to perform economic activities, and strive to build Tianjie Township into a town of resistance against Japan and a town of tourism. At the same time, we must also set up a number of positive and typical anti-Japanese role models. I think this matter can be dug into deeply. The Cultural Bureau and Tourism Bureau
Comrades in the county chronicle compilation office should work hard and try to find out a few deeds. They should be published in newspapers and on TV. It would be even better if they can contact a cooperative unit and make a TV series or movie." There is also the Orion named Cheng.
, you can also promote it in a positive way. If you are not qualified to represent our county, you can be the image ambassador of the town.
The members of the county committee put down their pens and applauded one after another. They posted discordant remarks on the Internet and enforced the law rigorously without favoritism. They severely punished the murderers and redressed the injustices of our international friends. Today, a 180-degree change occurred.
In a twist of events, the bandit armed leader became an anti-Japanese hero, and the murderer became an image ambassador.
Deputy County Magistrate Tang then spoke. He said: "Secretary Zhang has set a general direction for us. Let me add some specific details. Comrade Cheng Shuanzhu is old and in poor health. He is not suitable to continue to be detained in the county detention center. I suggest
, place the elderly in our county committee guest house."
The leaders whispered to each other and nodded in agreement. Secretary Zhang even waved his hand and said: "Let's handle it according to Comrade Tang Chuan's opinion."
At the end of the meeting, Secretary Zhang walked out of the conference room with official steps. After returning to his office, a look of panic appeared on his face. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. The secretary carefully closed the door for him and retreated to the corridor.
inside.
"I have sent the deputy secretary of the county party committee and the county public security director to visit the injured in the hospital, and severely punished those responsible. After all, this is just a misunderstanding. The country people have never seen the market. They can't even tell the difference between a8 and a6.
Where do you know the certificate of the General Staff? In a word, you can spend as much as you need, and we will never be ambiguous."
Secretary Zhang patted his chest and made a promise. The voice on the other end of the phone was still cold: "Xiao Zhang, you have to pay attention to the impact when doing things. There is no need to parade if there is nothing to do. What does that sentence say? The first bird will be shot. I heard that
I have already informed the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that they want to deal with you. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection called the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and then the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. They are pressing it down step by step. What do you want me to do?"
Secretary Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Isn't he just a retired veteran with so much energy?"
The other party sneered: "I am retired, but my children and grandchildren are all in their seats. The youngest is a major general. You are in big trouble this time."
Secretary Zhang said: "What should we do? Wei Hong is sick and Xiao Binbin is alone in Australia. You, the elder, can't ignore it."
"Let's talk about it. Director Zhang is sent by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Lao Yan is led by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. You can think of a way on your own. I still have a meeting, so I'll hang up." The other party hung up the phone. Secretary Zhang's face was ashen, as if he was mourning for a heir.
After pondering for a long time, he called his secretary in and said: "Hurry up and help me clear the position, sell all the stocks, and those few houses, hurry up!"
The secretary said: "The funds in the stock market are all tied up, and housing prices are not at a high level right now. You will lose money if you make a move rashly."
Secretary Zhang said: "Just do it as you are told. There are so many words!"
…
At the Nantai County Detention Center, Lao Chengtou was walking in a single cell. Suddenly, a policeman came over and opened the iron door and said, "Take your luggage and follow me."
Old Chengtou asked calmly: "Where to go?"
"Your medical parole has been approved. You will stay at the county party committee hostel first, and you can go home after the case is concluded." the police said.
Old Chengtou said: "I won't go. My body and bones are fine. The prisoner should live in prison. I will not go out until the court finds me not guilty."
The policeman said, "Why are you so stubborn, old man? Get out quickly." Then he went to pull Old Chengtou's arm, but the old man's horse was so impregnable that the policeman couldn't pull it even with all his strength.
The county detention center is very small, with iron bars and doors attached to each other. When the police and Old Cheng were talking to each other, everyone in the prison could hear them. Most people who were not sick wanted to rely on connections to spend money to pretend to be sick and get medical parole to get out.
Unexpectedly, Old Chengtou was unwilling to go even after the arrangement was completed. This old man was really a man. All the prisoners in the detention center, regardless of whether they were fighting, cheating, abducting, or other criminals who came in, were all beating.
The railing applauded Old Chengtou.
The policeman left in a nonchalant manner and went to give a reply to the superiors. Lao Chengtou was unwilling to leave and there was nothing they could do.
…
The court day came soon. At the gate of Nantai County Court, there was a sea of people. There were people holding banners everywhere. These people came from all over the country to support Lao Chengtou, and most of them were organized online. Basically,
There are those from all over the world, from Tianya, from Xici Hutong, from super-large to iron-blooded, and from Longkong and the Scer Expeditionary Force who are known as the most yellow in the military world and the most military in Huangtan.
A large group of short, fat, geeky men with glasses gathered at the entrance of the court. When the police car appeared, a burst of cheers rang out. Lao Chengtou in the prison car was puzzled and asked the policeman escorting the car: "What are these dolls doing?" The policeman said: "They
They are all here to cheer you up."
Old Chengtou couldn't help but sigh: "When Commander Zhao went to the execution ground, it was just like this. Even if you kill me, it's worth it."
The court opened to hear the case. The prosecutor and the defense lawyer came to court. The judge entered the scene wearing a solemn robe. Old Chengtou was also brought into the dock. This trial was quite simple. The lawyer issued the certificate of Hashimoto Takayoshi.
The death report and suicide note proved that the deceased had already had the will to die, and that coming to Yezhuyu would end the rest of his life. The stab wound caused by Lao Chengtou was not fatal. What really caused Takayoshi Hashimoto's death was cancer and the last injection of stimulants.
The facts were clear. The prosecutor expressed no objection and withdrew the case. The judge announced that the case did not need to go to trial, and Cheng Shuanzhu was acquitted in court.
There was applause in the auditorium. The bailiff came over and opened the handcuffs of Lao Chengtou. The judge and prosecutor came to shake hands with him and said, "Old man, you are fine. You can go home."
Surrounded by the crowd, Old Chengtou walked out of the court gate. A dazzling flash light came on. Various media stretched their microphones in front of Old Chengtou. The support groups in the distance shouted loudly: "Old hero, we support
You!" Then the majestic and passionate "March of the Broadsword" sounded, hundreds of people at the scene sang together, and the atmosphere reached a climax.
Old Chengtou was walking between two human walls, his beard sticking out excitedly, and he kept saying: "Okay, okay, we have hope in China!"
A staff member from the county government came over and led Lao Chengtou into the car. He was welcomed by the crowd and drove away from the court to the Jinfan Hotel. As soon as he entered the hotel, Lao Chengtou felt at a loss. It was too luxurious here and was full of eyesores.
They are all gold, and the ground is polished so bright that people can be seen, and there is a faint fragrance in the air. The tall girls are all wearing black one-step skirts, revealing their long legs like white radishes. They smile when they see people and compare themselves to the people in the paintings.
The son is pretty good-looking, but old Chengtou, who has lived in the mountains all year round, is extremely uncomfortable. He only feels that his throat is itchy and he wants to spit but dare not. It is too clean here.
After taking a ride to the guest room upstairs, the staff knocked lightly on the door and the door opened immediately. Ono Kozo's assistant stood at the door, bowed politely and invited Mr. Cheng to come in.
This is the high-end business room of Jinfan Hotel. The floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass window faces the Civic Square. President Ono was sitting on the sofa in a suit. When he saw Lao Chengtou coming in, he quickly got up, took two steps forward, and knelt down on the ground.
, pay homage with great ceremony.
Old Cheng kept his head motionless, and after receiving a bow from Ono, he said, "What do you want from me, old man? Do you want to bring Hashimoto's body back?"
Ono chattered for a while, and then the translator said: "Old man, Mr. Ono would like to ask you to watch a video. I think you will understand."
Then the assistant opened the laptop and connected it to the large-screen LCD TV in the living room. Hashimoto Takayoshi's face appeared on the TV. Judging from the background, this video should have been shot in Japan. The old Hashimoto looked haggard and was wearing a kimono.
, he spoke a lot calmly in front of the camera, while the translator softly explained to Old Chengtou what Hashimoto said.
"These were Mr. Hashimoto's last words. Mr. Ono only discovered it after his death. Mr. Hashimoto said in the video that he had terminal cancer and was about to die soon, but he did not want to die in the hospital bed.
He wanted to die on the battlefield. In the war seventy years ago, he was actually dead, and the only ones alive were just zombies. Mr. Hashimoto wanted to go to China, to the place where he fought, and to be with his comrades.
Sleeping together forever, if possible, he also wanted to die in a dignified battle like a samurai. He told Mr. Ono that if any accident happened, everything would be his own responsibility and had nothing to do with others."
After hearing these words, Old Chengtou could only sigh and said: "You can be buried in Yezhuyu if you want. Let him guard Commander Zhao's grave instead of your father."
Ono Kozo immediately bowed: "Aricardo." With a wave of his hand, the assistant took a document printed in Japanese. Ono said: "My adoptive father will leave all his personal property to you, a house, a car, and stocks.
Please sign for the bonds and life insurance compensation."
Old Chengtou listened to the translation and wondered: "He didn't know me before, so how could he write my name in the will?"
Ono explained: "The original text of my adoptive father's will is that all property will be left to the person who killed him, so that person is you Cheng Sang. Please accept the money no matter what, please!"
Old Chengtou said with emotion: "Hashimoto wants to atone for his sins, okay, I'll take the money!"
