Chapter 581 Serving the People
"Leader, who are you...?"
When Xiao Jianliang saw Li Zhenmin and others got out of the car and seemed to be coming this way, he put down the work in his hands, stood up and greeted them nervously.
At this time, he was filled with uneasiness, because during this period, someone came to ask about an incident involving his daughter a few years ago, and it seemed that someone was investigating something.
Although the other party repeatedly told him not to be nervous and that they valued fairness and justice, Xiao Jianliang and his family did not dare to believe it. After all, there were some things they could not get involved in, and their family's current risk resistance was not enough for them to put everything aside and fight against those who persecuted Xiao Caihong.
In their hearts, the people in the police station are the boss. At the beginning, the police station didn’t care and some people even threatened them.
So even if someone really wants to seek justice for what happened back then, what can they do? Just like the imperial envoy in the story, can he be in charge for a while but can he be in charge for the rest of his life?
What if someone wants to take revenge after the imperial envoy leaves? Wouldn't he be the one who suffers?
So even though Xiao Jianliang had some hope in his heart these days, he still didn't dare to believe the people who came to investigate, and he didn't reveal what he was thinking.
Today, two cars came over, with two people who looked like leaders and three who looked like thugs. They subconsciously thought that it was the imperial envoy who came to show off.
"Boss, come in and have a cup of tea."
Without waiting for Li Zhenmin to speak, Chen Yun stood up, wiped his hands on his body nervously, greeted him nervously, and hurried into the house to pour tea.
Li Zhenmin and Zhang Huaiyuan did not refuse, as they were planning to come and sit for a while anyway. However, they both looked at the sloppy Xiao Caihong who was sitting in a daze on the recliner in the corner of the yard.
After a brief observation by Li Zhenmin and Zhang Huaiyuan, Xiao Caihong did not react at all. She was still staring at the sky in a daze, with no sign of turning around.
And because of this reaction, Li Zhenmin and Zhang Huaiyuan looked at each other and had the same idea, that is, there was something wrong with Xiao Caihong. She was deliberately keeping calm. Otherwise, unless she was a vegetative person, she would be attracted by the movement here and at least take a look, but Xiao Caihong did not.
"Hello, comrade. I am a doctor from Union Hospital. The person next to me is Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Health."
Li Zhenmin was the first to speak and introduce himself, but he temporarily changed his identity to a doctor.
Xiao Jianliang was stunned for a moment. He knew about Union Hospital, but the Minister of Health? What was that?
With his identity, he had never been exposed to such things. He had heard a lot about the Organization Department or the Propaganda Department, but he had no impression of the Ministry of Health. He just thought that it was in charge of health and it should not be a high-ranking official.
He didn't dare to think about the significance of the word "minister" and subconsciously ignored it.
But what he was sure of was that the person in front of him was definitely a leader, as he could tell from his temperament.
So he said nervously: "Hello, leader, please come in and have a cup of tea. The house is a bit messy, please don't mind."
The rough hands, slightly hunched back, and submissive attitude were the epitome of the lower class. Zhang Huaiyuan saw it and his heart softened at once. He smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Jianliang. My name is Zhang Huaiyuan, from the Ministry of Health."
In order to reassure Xiao Jianliang, he added: "You know Union Hospital, we are in charge of it. All hospitals in the city, as well as all hospitals and health stations across the country, are under our control."
As he spoke, he observed the reactions of Xiao Jianliang and others.
Sure enough, the moment the words fell, Xiao Jianliang was stunned for a moment and then his eyes widened, as if he realized something terrible, and then he knelt down with a thud.
At the same time, the sound of a kettle falling to the ground was heard in the room. It was obvious that Chen Yun, who was pouring water, also reacted.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I don't know who you are..."
Xiao Jianliang realized with horror that he had not given enough respect just now, and was so scared that he wanted to kowtow.
Seeing this, Li Zhenmin quickly supported him.
Zhang Huaiyuan also panicked and said, "No, no, we are all comrades, please don't do this."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and held Xiao Jianliang's shaking hand, patiently explaining, "Someone has been asking you about something these days, right? They are all my people."
Seeing Xiao Jianliang's pale face, Li Zhenmin helped him sit on a stool in the yard and explained, "Comrade, don't be nervous. This is what happened. You know Ma Zhengguang, right? He has a woman named Ma Lanlan, who was your daughter's classmate. Recently, the higher-ups wanted to purge some of the country's parasites, and when they were investigating your area, they learned that there seemed to be something fishy about your daughter's past."
"Our Minister Zhang is a leader who serves the people. He is afraid that his subordinates will become local tyrants and cover up everything, so he bypassed the grassroots law enforcement officers and sent people to investigate this matter."
"We have now obtained the confession of Gong Changjiang, another former classmate of your daughter, and have basically confirmed some of the things that happened back then. In order to prevent corrupt elements from threatening and retaliating against you, Minister Zhang has come here in person to dispel your concerns."
"The three people behind are also national investigators. They are here to confirm your specific situation. If you have any difficulties or more detailed information, you can tell us without worry."
"If you don't trust our identities, we can take you to the largest public security bureau in Sijiu City, or you can go anywhere you want. No one will hurt you now."
"I came here to check your daughter's legs. The guys behind you still have weapons on them, so they can protect you."
After saying this, Li Zhenmin waved to the Guoan comrades behind him.
Although they didn't want to do this, they still showed the weapons on their waists when they saw Zhang Huaiyuan nod, and assured him: "Hello comrade, please believe in the country and believe in us. There may be some corrupt elements at the grassroots level who oppress the people, but don't worry, if we find evidence, we will bring them to justice and give you a satisfactory answer."
The reason for doing this is not to make Xiao Jianliang believe the identities of these people, but more importantly to deter Dao.
In the minds of these lower-class people, sometimes well-intentioned explanations are not as effective as direct deterrence with weapons.
With this guy, I can ask Xiao Jianliang and others to go with me, and then I can prove my identity and conduct a better investigation.
This is also a helpless move. After all, if it were not for this, it would really be impossible to dispel the concerns of Xiao Jianliang and others.
Of course, good words should also be said.
So Li Zhenmin added: "By the way, their specific identities are not convenient to disclose, but they can arrest any leaders you think of. Even if your factory director comes today, he can't speak unless he is allowed to. But don't worry, we are all here to serve the people. Our rights are also given by you. Our comrades will never point their guns at ordinary people."
Whether it is useful or not, these words have to be said.
