Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 497 Beating
Chen Daqiang is a bit arrogant and simple-minded. He seems to look down on everyone except Director Gao, not even Director Dai.

When he learned some time ago that Director Gao chose him to be in charge of criminal investigation work, he was so proud, as if he was about to take over. During those few days in the bureau, he fully demonstrated the word "arrogant".

But when he learned that a deputy director was going to be parachuted in, and that this parachuted person was designated by the city and the headquarters to be in charge of criminal investigation, he reportedly swept everything on the desk to the floor, and the clanging sound could be heard throughout the second floor.

Later, after knowing who was to be transferred over, he immediately started talking nonsense in the bureau, saying that the person got to his position thanks to his father-in-law, and without his father-in-law who was the vice president, he would be nothing.

He doesn't even look at himself, as if he got to his position by relying on his retired father-in-law who used to be the executive vice president of the city's organization department?
What's more, the various merits that Director Li has made over the years are real. Director Liu doesn't believe that those first-class and second-class merits were fabricated out of thin air by Vice President Luo for his son-in-law.

That had to be approved by the then Political and Legal Leading Group. Director Liu remembered that the leader of this group had been replaced since the 22nd year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the person who replaced him just happened to have a special conflict with Vice President Luo.

That year, Vice President Luo was transferred from Shanghai to the factory in a small city in the northwest, and this person’s contribution was partly due to this.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for the son-in-law of the Luo family to be able to make contributions and receive awards again and again, if he did not have real talent.

This job transfer may have been helped by Vice President Luo, but Director Liu thinks there is nothing wrong with it. After all, he has real skills and is not just here to gild his resume.

But what about Deputy Director Chen in front of him?

"Old Liu, is Director Li satisfied with his office?"

Just then, Director Dai came over with the freshly prepared meal and sat down next to Director Liu.

"I am very satisfied, but..." Director Liu hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"I was just a little worried that it might exceed the limit. I explained this to Director Li, but he didn't say anything else."

"Yeah," Director Dai nodded, "It's normal for Director Li to have this worry. He is a cadre from a ministry, and those government agencies are quite strict in terms of treatment.

I see he seems to be driving the same Shanghai-licensed car, what's the matter with this car? Did the Social Affairs Bureau agree to let him take it away?"

"Director Dai, that's not true. Director Li told me that the car was a personal reward from above and has nothing to do with the Social Affairs Bureau."

"The reward is for him personally?" This news stunned Director Dai and Director Chen.

"Yes, I didn't ask for the specific reason for the reward, but I think it should be in the file. However, I don't have the authority to see Director Li's file. I guess only you and the director in our bureau can see all of Director Li's files."

"I don't have the authority to see it, and I don't know the director." Director Dai shook his head and denied Director Liu's statement.

His words made Director Liu and Director Chen's eyes widen instantly. Even the executive deputy at the director level did not have the authority to read it. What kind of secrets were in this file?

Old Dai lowered his head and put a chopstick of food into his mouth. He didn't look up, but he seemed to see the reactions of the two people. He chuckled and said, "Okay, stop guessing and eat quickly. Which case handled by the Social Affairs Bureau doesn't need to be kept confidential?

What's more, when our Director Li was there, he was a specialist in interrogations and traveled all over the country. The confidential information he possessed was probably no less than that of the confidential department under your command.

This time he was transferred to our bureau. If he was transferred to another unit, the higher-ups would definitely not approve it."

The Municipal Bureau’s Confidential Affairs Section is under the jurisdiction of the Office and is a section under Director Liu.

This department is a very important administrative department, responsible for processing and managing confidential documents, the unit's confidentiality work, ensuring the transmission and timely delivery of information, and is a key department for ensuring the flow and security of information within the organization.

If Li Yancheng has more confidential information than this department, then it is normal for his file to have a high level of confidentiality. However, the reason for this is not simply because he has a lot of confidential information. The main reason is the health care team.

He can meet at any time those old comrades whom he rescued in previous years. Not only those old comrades, but also several who are still working now can be met at any time.

If this were to be known by some people or organizations with ulterior motives, it would cause big trouble.

Therefore, even without considering other aspects, just for the sake of his personal safety and that of his family, these matters need to be kept strictly confidential.

Director Dai had also heard something about this matter, and he also got some information from Director Gao. Of course, he didn't know the details, and the director couldn't tell him.

Many people in the Municipal Bureau knew that Li Yancheng was an excellent doctor.

There are also many people in the public security system who were injured on the battlefield in the early years. The medical level at that time was not good, and the treatment on the battlefield was mainly focused on saving lives. There was a shortage of medicines, which caused many legacy problems.

When he first started working at the Operations Department of the Social Affairs Bureau, he treated many comrades who had just returned from the battlefield and had many hidden injuries on their bodies, and helped them resolve years of pain.

This kind of thing cannot be concealed. More and more people know his abilities and come to him to treat their old injuries. Most of these people are from the public security system.

However, as time went by, his rank became higher and higher, and fewer and fewer people came to him to treat their old injuries. But as long as Li Yancheng met such people, he would definitely lend a hand if he could. If he went to the staff quarters of the Municipal Bureau now, he would be guaranteed three meals a day, and different people would invite him to dinner for several months in a row.

The truth is that he has solved too many people's chronic diseases over the years, and he never accepts invitations to dinner or takes a penny. I don't know how many people owe him favors.

In other words, these people are basically retired now, otherwise if he had appeared at the Municipal Bureau this morning, he would probably have been surrounded by three layers of enemies.

"Old Liu, what are Director Li's requirements for the communicators and drivers?" Director Dai stopped talking about Li Yancheng's file and turned to ask about other aspects.

He is the executive deputy, assisting the director in managing the daily work of the bureau. The newly appointed Deputy Director Li is of the same rank as him, so in order to appear important, he has to personally inquire about many matters.

"Director Li wants to transfer his secretary from the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters to serve as a communicator. As for the driver... Director Li said he doesn't need a driver. He usually drives himself. If necessary, he can be temporarily transferred from the driver team."

"Hey, this Deputy Director Li is really amazing. He is just a communications officer, but he wants to transfer him from his original unit. What's the matter? Does he not trust our Public Security Bureau and is worried about leaking some of his secrets? He even doesn't want a driver. I'm afraid he wants to do something and doesn't think it's convenient to bring an outsider with him?"

Before Director Dai could say anything, Chen Daqiang spoke first, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded a bit harsh.

Old Dai looked at Deputy Director Chen deeply, then turned to Director Liu and said, "I know Director Li's previous secretary. He was the nephew of Director Guan of the former Municipal Social Affairs Bureau. He was retired from the army. It should be that Director Guan asked Director Li to take care of him before he retired.

Lao Liu, since Director Li said so, then you should follow the procedures and transfer the person here as soon as possible. It will be inconvenient for him to not have a contact person around him."

"Okay," Director Liu nodded in response.

Chen Daqiang's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that the secretary was actually the nephew of the old director of the Social Affairs Bureau. More importantly, since Li Yancheng proposed to bring the person over, it meant that he had communicated with the old director in advance. The fact that he agreed showed how much trust he had in him.

Old Dai didn't care what he thought and continued, "Since Director Li said he doesn't need a driver, then there's no need to assign one. Tell the driver team to keep a mobile driver at all times to ensure that there will be someone to take over when Director Li needs one."

"no problem"

Old Dai knew why Li Yancheng didn't want a driver, because he often needed to go to places that ordinary people couldn't easily enter, such as the compound, and many sanatoriums that were off-limits to idle people. If he wanted a driver, the driver would need to go through various inspections, including his family, and it was unknown how long it would take to complete these inspection procedures. Instead of going through so much trouble, it would be better to drive yourself, go wherever you want, and don't have to worry about anything else.

As far as he knew, the new Deputy Director Li was not just a professional and technical cadre. He was very proficient in shooting and Sanda, and could be said to be both civil and military.

"Director Chen"

"Ah? Director Dai..."

Chen Daqiang, who was immersed in his emotions, suddenly heard Director Dai calling him. After he came to his senses, he looked over blankly, not knowing what he wanted to talk to him about.

"Director Chen, since some things have already been decided, there is no way to change them. Since they cannot be changed, it is better to adjust your mindset as soon as possible and put your energy into your work. It is better than offending others, don't you think?"

After saying this, Director Dai lowered his head and continued eating without looking at Deputy Director Chen. Director Liu had been eating hard since he responded just now. At this moment, it was as if he had not heard anything. There was no change in the movements of his subordinates or the expression on his face.

Only Chen Daqiang's face turned blue, white, and red after listening to Lao Dai's words, as if he had opened a dyeing factory. It was very interesting.

Director Dai is nearly ten years older than him, and his administrative rank is one level higher than his. He is the executive deputy, half a level higher than him. He also serves as the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau's Organization Committee, and the director is Director Gao. It is normal for Old Dai to criticize him, an ordinary deputy director, with words. Even if he criticizes him directly, he can only take it.

"Well, Lao Liu, have you contacted Director Qiao? If Director Li is not here, he doesn't need to come over to handle the handover formalities. It would be a waste of time for him to come."

After taking two bites of his meal, Director Dai thought about handing over his work.

"I just called Director Qiao and told him about it. He said we should contact him after Director Li comes back."

"It's okay to contact them. Have Lao Lin and the others from the Rouhuai County Bureau left? Don't wait until Director Li leaves and they are still here." As he spoke, Director Dai turned his head and looked around the cafeteria.

"I just checked and didn't see Director Lin and the others. I plan to contact Rouhuai after dinner."

"Director Dai, do you want to say hello to the Rouhuai County Government as well?"

"We don't care about that." Old Dai shook his head and said, "You can contact the on-duty leader of the Rouhuai County Bureau later and tell them that Director Li is leading the team today. As for whether to inform the county government, let them decide for themselves."

"I see."

When Li Yancheng goes to the lower county now, it is equivalent to a deputy of a functional department in the province going to inspect the work. It is normal for the leader of the place he goes to to receive him. Not to mention Rouhuai, a division-level county, even in the bureau-level districts such as Chengdong and Chengxi, if he goes to the district public security bureau to inspect the work, then the director of the district or the district government leader will have to receive him, and the district's in charge leader will have to accompany him throughout the process, and both sides will have formal exchanges on some of the work of the district bureau.

This is the change brought about by his current position. He did not receive such treatment when he previously held the honorary position of deputy secretary-general at the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters.

As for Director Lin of the Rouhuai County Bureau mentioned by Old Dai, as well as the political commissar and several deputy directors, they had already received notification from the bureau and were now sitting in their cars, rushing back at full speed.

They were not aware that Deputy Director Li, who had just taken office today, was going to lead the team there in person. In their opinion, his appointment document had just been read out in the morning and his work had not yet been handed over. Even if he concurrently served as the chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps, it was impossible for him to just run over there.

They were in a hurry to go back because they wanted to solve the case as soon as possible.

My goodness, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation just took office today, and you, Rouhuai County, have come up with a vicious case of two deaths and two missing persons. Is this to welcome the new leader? I'm afraid this is to put eye drops on the new leader.

"Xiao Zheng, drive faster." Director Lin of the Rouhuai County Bureau, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat of the jeep, raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was almost one o'clock. They set out from the Municipal Bureau at 11:30 and walked for more than an hour. They had only traveled two-thirds of the distance of fifty or sixty kilometers. He was now thirsty, hungry, and anxious.

If this road were to be used a few decades later, it would take less than an hour to get there as long as there was no traffic jam. But it is different now. The road condition is too bad and you need to brake from time to time to avoid potholes. That's not to mention people driving tractors, donkey carts, bicycles, and carts on the road. No matter who you meet, you have to avoid them. Thirty kilometers an hour is considered fast.

The people sitting in the back row were already almost vomiting from being shaken around, and when they heard the director ask them to go faster, a look of bitterness appeared on their faces.

The two people sitting on both sides of the door reached out and grabbed the armrests above the door without saying a word. The two people sitting in the middle also silently reached out and held the seat backs of the driver's and co-pilot seats to prevent themselves from being accidentally thrown out.

"Forest Bureau..."

At this time, the political commissar of Rouhuai County Bureau, who was sitting in the back row near the door, spoke up. It turned out to be a female comrade.

The female political commissar's name is Deng Meili. This morning in the municipal bureau's conference room, there were a total of five female comrades who were qualified to attend the meeting. She was the youngest among them, at exactly 40 years old this year.

"Hmm? What's up, Commissar?"

Hearing the political commissar calling him, Director Lin, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned his head and looked over.

"Director Lin, did you know Director Li when you were in the city bureau's criminal investigation department?"

Before coming to Rouhuai as director, Director Lin had been working in the Third Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau, rising from investigator to deputy team leader and team leader. He only arrived in Rouhuai as director in the first half of last year.

County bureaus are generally section-level units, but the work of the Public Security Bureau is more important, so the director is a high-ranking deputy director. Director Lin's full name is Lin Wentao. He is only 45 years old this year. Among all the district and county bureau chiefs, he is considered young and promising.

The Rouhuai County Bureau team is also the youngest team in the Beijing area. The oldest is the trade union director who is sitting on the other side of the back row by the door. His surname is Xu and he is 54 years old this year. The youngest is the political commissar Deng Meili.

"I know him." Director Lin nodded. "When I first met Director Li, he was still the chief of the pre-trial section of the Municipal Social Affairs Bureau. He was less than 30 years old. I remember it was the beginning of the 20th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, he seemed to be unmarried. I was still an investigator at that time.

At that time, we had a case where several people were fighting, and someone took a knife and stabbed someone to death. After those people were caught, they all said that the knife was not theirs and they did not kill the person, and no matter how they were interrogated, they could not find out anything.

Think about it, if you stab someone to death, you have to pay with your life, no one is stupid enough to admit that they stabbed him. "

"Are there no fingerprints on the knife?" Deng Meili suddenly interrupted and asked.

"That's the problem. It was cold then and everyone was wearing gloves. There was a guard on the knife, and when it stabbed the victim, it just got stuck there. Not even a little blood flowed out, and there was no trace left.

Originally, if the victim had not touched the knife and had rushed to the hospital, he might not have died. But he pulled the knife out himself, and as a result, he died from excessive blood loss.

Those men had agreed together and none of them admitted to stabbing. They thought that as long as they refused to admit it, we wouldn't be able to find any evidence and we couldn't just shoot all five of them.

Just like that, the case was stuck there for a while. Those guys were really tight-lipped. I have been working in criminal investigation for more than 20 years, and they are the most tight-lipped people I have ever seen.

In the end it was Director Gao who came. Director Gao was in charge of criminal investigation at the time. He asked the bureau to make a report to the Security Committee and invited Director Li, who was already an interrogation expert of the Security Committee at that time. Wow, he was worthy of being an expert at such a young age. After Director Li came, it didn't even take him half an hour to interrogate the guy who had swung the knife.

That was my first time dealing with Director Li. I dealt with him a few more times afterwards, but I haven’t seen him for a while. I guess Director Li has forgotten me a long time ago.”

At this point, Director Lin laughed at himself and said, "What I said about dealing with him was just a compliment to myself. In fact, I haven't even spoken to Director Li for a few words."
