Chapter 224 Quantifiers (2)
Shen Yue nodded and said: "Yes. Industrialization, urbanization and environmental protection are always a kind of contradiction, just like people's pursuit of money and yearning for soul purification." At this point, he looked out of the car window again, as if He said thoughtfully: "I don't know what kind of mood Xin Fen felt when he first entered this mountain."

Zeng Yingjie said: "If it was me, I would have been very excited at the beginning... His name is good. But if I have to work here for a long time, I will definitely not be able to bear it."

Shen Yue said: "The problem is, not only did he persevere in such a place, but he was also recognized by his superiors. This shows that he is a very ambitious, down-to-earth person. You must know that he did not come from a poor background. Family, so, it can be said that his actions are completely supported by ideals. Yingjie, tell me, a person with ideals, a down-to-earth job, and who is highly valued by his superiors, will he make mistakes in money or beauty?"

Zeng Yingjie thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Shen Yue smiled immediately, nodded and said: "Yes, who knows? A person's inner desire is like a devil, and not anyone can control it. But I think that a person like Xin Fen, he His self-control is definitely much stronger than the average person."

More than two hours later, the two arrived in Qianlai Township.The small town in front of me was dilapidated, and the only bright spot was the school on a hill, which was the only modern building in this place, and it was relatively new.The name Qianlai itself shows the long-standing poverty of this place. Just like a person who wants to have a boy named his daughter "Laidi", the place name Qianlai entrusts a dream of people deep in the mountains.

Shen Yue and Zeng Yingjie went directly to the township government. The head of the township was a middle-aged man in his 40s, dark and thin, who looked like a farmer in the neighborhood.After seeing Zeng Yingjie's ID, he hurriedly asked the two to sit down, and when he heard that Shen Yue was a doctor, he immediately became more polite.It is estimated that this is the first time a doctor has come to a place like this.

Zeng Yingjie explained the purpose of his visit, and the mayor sighed: "It's a pity. If it weren't for him, we would not have been able to get through the road until now."

Shen Yue thought to himself, the information spread really fast now, and said, "Please tell me about his specific situation."

The township head was still sighing, and said: "In a place like ours, people from outside are not willing to come in at all. Since I started working here when I was 20 years old, until now, he is the only one who volunteered to come here. A working person, and a college student. Our town produces coal, but the output is not large, so it has not been open to traffic for many years. After he came, he felt that coal was at least the biggest source of income for us here, so he persuaded us to borrow money to build a road. Later He became the leader of the county, and allocated funds to harden the road. He really suffered. When he first came, there was no road in this place, and there was only one donkey in the village, whether it was going to the county for a meeting or to work in the village. , he rode that donkey there.”

Shen Yue asked: "That school of yours was also built when he was working in the county?"

The township head nodded and said: "Yes. When he was the director of the education committee, he specially allocated funds to build several village-level primary schools. His ability is indeed very strong. After being a deputy township head here for a year, I went to the county The leader inside said, just let him take my seat." Speaking of this, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Actually, I also have selfish intentions. I thought he was so capable. After taking over my seat, I will You can go to the county to work. But the county disagrees, saying that he is a key cadre trained by the organization, and it is impossible to continue working in the village. It's a pity, how could such a thing happen?"

Shen Yue asked again: "What do you think is his main shortcoming?"

The head of the township froze for a moment, and said: "Shortcomings? Well, he is a bit impatient, and as soon as he thinks of something, he has to do it right away. People here are used to being lazy, and they were not used to his kind of work at first. Afterwards, the road was repaired, the coal and local products were shipped out, and the life of the township government became much easier, so everyone was motivated."

Shen Yue smiled slightly and said, "What happened later? After he left, he changed back to the original, right?"

The mayor was a little embarrassed and said, "I want to do something too, but I don't have his ability. He worked too hard. At that time, in order to get a loan, someone introduced him to the president of the county agricultural bank as his son-in-law. He didn't say anything." Say it and agree."

Shen Yue's expression changed, and he asked, "Is there no process of falling in love?"

The township head said: "What kind of love is he talking about? Where does he have time to fall in love? From here to the county town, he rides a donkey in and out. He can only stay at home for one night when he goes to the county town for a meeting, and he rushes to the county town the next day. came back."

Shen Yue asked again: "How is their relationship as husband and wife? Do you know?"

The township head smiled and replied: "It seems to be okay. After he went to work in the county, I went to his house a few times. His women are very polite and virtuous, and he had it when he was working here. Child, the child should be seven or eight years old now."

It's hard work.Shen Yue thought in his heart.He said to the mayor, "I want to go and see where he used to live, is that okay?"

The mayor nodded and said, "Of course. The place where he used to live is still vacant. No one wants to work here."

Just behind the township government was a row of low-rise bungalows, which were also dilapidated. After opening the door, there was a musty smell.Shen Yue found that it was a room of only a dozen square meters. The floor was very damp. There was a bed and a desk inside. It was as simple as a place where migrant workers lived in the city.Shen Yue went in and stood there for a while, and then came out. He could already feel what it was like when Xin Fen lived here.

"When he was working here, what did he do at night?" Shen Yue asked after coming out of the room.

The mayor replied: "Reading, he likes reading very much."

Shen Yue looked in from the door, as if he saw a lonely figure reading quietly under the dim light.Perhaps, it was ideals and books that enabled him to survive the most difficult days of those three years.But what happened later?He is less than 1.7 meters tall and weighs nearly two hundred catties...

Shen Yue and Zeng Yingjie rejected the warm invitation from the mayor and did not have lunch in the village.A meal is a trivial matter, but it is really awkward for the leaders of such a poor place to treat them.It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the county seat. The two found a specialty shop to eat something, and then went directly to the county government.

The person who received them was the office director of the county government. As soon as he heard that the two of them came here for the Xinjin case, he immediately said apologetically: "The leaders in the county have been changed quite frequently in recent years. Most of the previous leaders were I am no longer in the local area. I used to work in a township, so I don’t know much about Secretary-General Xin.”

Shen Yue smiled slightly and said, "Most of them are gone, but there are always some, right?"

The director of the office was stunned for a moment, and then realized the loophole in what he said just now, and said, "Then I'll make a call first."

Shen Yue smiled at him, and said: "Not for now. You said you used to work in the township, so you must have been the head or the deputy head of the township, um, the deputy head of the township. That's right, you were the same as Xin Fen at the time. But now he is the secretary-general of the city government, but you are not even a deputy to a county-level leader. This world is too unfair. I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to waste time, since you Knowing about him, why don't you tell us all about it?"

The director of the office looked very embarrassed, wanted to get angry but had some scruples, so he chose to remain silent.Shen Yue said: "Well, let me ask a question, and you answer yes. We are here for the case, and I hope Mr. Director can fully cooperate with us. Is it possible?"

The office director nodded and said, "Okay."

Shen Yue asked: "Actually, you don't recognize his ability, is that so?"

"There are more capable people, and luck and platforms are more important. Don't you think so?"

"Why do you think his ability is not outstanding?"

"I don't think his ability is not outstanding, it's just..."

"Just what? It doesn't matter, you can talk about it casually, and no one else will know about our conversation. You see, we have not contacted your public security department here, because we especially hope to learn some of the most real situations. "

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I think about him. This person graduated from a key university and is an honor student. I also admire him for being able to work hard in such a poor place for three years. But as far as the specific work is concerned, For example, there are many people who have done better than him. For example, a deputy county magistrate in our county has worked in the township for nearly 20 years and has developed a poor township into the most famous tourist attraction in the city. One, he worked as the director of the County Investment Promotion Bureau for another eight years. It is his credit that our county's native products went to the whole country, and even exported to European and American countries, but he is only a deputy county magistrate so far. You say, is this fair? Is education really that important?"

"In any country, there will be certain standards for the appointment of officials. Of course, this is not an issue we need to care about at present. Mr. Director, what we want to know is what kind of person Xin Fen is, and his main character What is it, and so on."

"It's really hard to say. When he was working with the education committee in the township, he was more humble to others, but after he became the deputy county magistrate, he got a little airs. After arriving in the city, except for the leaders in the county, most people want to see him. He's basically unlikely."

"It shouldn't be a problem for you to see him, right?"

"Not necessarily. But it's understandable. Not only is he young, but he also has a high degree of education. It's inevitable to be proud and arrogant."

Shen Yue noticed that when he said these words, the corner of his right mouth slightly turned up, and the eyelid on the same side also became slightly smaller at the same time, so he formed a momentary sneer expression.This is contempt, disgust.Shen Yue asked: "Actually, you look down on him a little bit, don't you? Why?"

The director of the office looked at Shen Yue in surprise, and then Zeng Yingjie introduced: "Dr. Shen is a psychologist, and he solved many major cases in our province."

Shen Yue waved at Zeng Yingjie, stared at the office director in front of him again, and asked seriously: "Please tell me, why do you look down on him?"

The office director was still immersed in the surprise just now, while hesitating in his heart, he didn't dare to look into Shen Yue's eyes.After a while, he finally said: "I heard that his child is not his, and his wife has already cuckolded him. In fact, many people know about it, but he himself has been kept in the dark." Drum."

Shen Yue's expression changed, and he continued to ask: "Oh? Did you hear about it, or is there really such a thing?"

The director of the office shook his head and said: "Anyway, it's a legend. Didn't he work in the village at that time? The place was poor and there was no road, and he had to walk or ride a donkey to the county town, so he seldom went home at that time. Someone once saw a man He ran to his house at night, and the cleaners who swept the street also saw that man coming out of his house early in the morning. Later, their children grew up, and many people thought that the boy looked very similar to the man in people's rumors. picture."

Shen Yue asked again: "What's that man's name? Where does he work now?"

The director of the office hesitated for a moment, and replied: "His name is Tang Weiwei, a high school classmate of Xin Fen's wife, and now a section chief of the County Finance Bureau."

Shen Yue stretched out his hand towards him and said, "Thank you for providing us with such an important clue."
