What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Didn't find it?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Du's heart tightened.

If he remembers correctly.

On the day the candidates' perfect scores were reported, Director Lin went to find them personally.

How come I can't find it?

"What went wrong?"

Lin Zheng found it difficult to speak, unsure of where to begin.

"This student's family is struggling financially and lives in a shantytown in a neighboring city."

"He moved out after the college entrance exam."

"His parents are both dead, and he has no relatives or friends to help him."

"We have already notified the police to assist in the investigation."

Upon hearing this,

Nie Zhenhuan's face darkened completely.

As a leader.

He knows how to focus on the key points.

"Are you experiencing financial difficulties?"

"Such a good student, aren't there any poverty alleviation policies in place?"

Lin Zheng didn't offer much praise or criticism, but simply stated the facts: "From what I've seen with my own eyes, this child has always struggled to make ends meet."

"Nonsense!"

Nie Du roared angrily, his anger flaring up instantly.

Over the past few years.

The country has been focusing on poverty alleviation.

After taking office in Shanhe Province, he also made poverty alleviation his top priority.

After all, Hebei Province is a major agricultural province, and it should set an example.

But now.

Reality slapped him in the face.

"Such an outstanding student, how come he's been struggling to make ends meet?"

"Then all our work over the years has been for nothing?"

Done.

Nie Du rushed to the telephone in two strides.

"Hello, Secretary Zhao."

"Find me information about someone, whose name is..."

Nie Zhenhuan looked at Lin Zheng.

Lin Zhengfu said from the bottom of his heart, "Qin Ze is from Group 2, Xitao Village, Wulihe Town, Zhengtai County, Lincheng City."

Nie Zhenhuan: "Qin Ze, native of Group 2, Xitao Village, Wulihe Town, Zhengtai County, Lincheng City."

"I need all his files within five minutes!"

"in addition."

"Make Li Fuping from the poverty alleviation office run to see me!"

As the head of a province.

Governor Nie was furious.

Some people will inevitably lose their hats.

Therefore, Secretary Zhao on the other end of the phone dared not delay.

He arrived at the office with all the documents within three minutes.

at this time.

Li Fuping from the poverty alleviation office was already standing respectfully in front of the desk, receiving a reprimand.

"Director Li, what are the key priorities for poverty alleviation work at this stage?"

Li Fuping didn't know what had happened, but he had a bad feeling and could only answer weakly.

"Preventing a return to poverty and ensuring stable income growth..."

"Stop!"

Nie Zhenhuan raised his voice slightly.

"Take this issue of preventing a return to poverty, how do you carry out your work?"

"A student who scored a perfect score on the college entrance exam can't afford to go to school?"

"We also have to collect bottles every day to make a living."

"You call this preventing a return to poverty?"

Nie Zhenhuan knew this well.

For these people struggling to make ends meet...

Education is their only way to turn their lives around.

The country's poverty alleviation policies can help them temporarily, but not forever.

Only when family members receive a good education can they change the fate of their entire family.

But now.

The bloody examples are right in front of us.

A gifted young boy, who is well-versed in all subjects, has to supplement his family's income by collecting bottles every day.

Thinking about Governor Nie makes my heart ache.

He stepped forward and took Qin Ze's materials from the secretary.

Turn to the first page.

It is a photocopy of the household registration booklet.

The account holder is Qin Ze himself; the remaining pages show that the account has been closed.

"Secretary Zhao, what caused his parents to pass away?"

The secretary whispered, "My father died in an accident, and my mother died of illness. I haven't investigated the specific cause yet..."

"Go check it out now!"

Nie Du turned around and looked at Li Fuping again.

"Director Li, do you think a child who has lost both parents and has no relatives should be a primary target of your poverty alleviation efforts?"

Li Fuping then realized the ensuing disaster: "I'm sorry, Governor Nie! It's my fault for not doing my job properly."

"If 'sorry' is enough, then what's the point of having national laws and family rules?"

Nie Zhenhuan didn't give Li Fuping a chance to defend himself.

"From now on, starting from you, all the way down to the poverty alleviation office in Zhengtai County."

"Everyone will receive a disciplinary action."

"The entire leadership team of Wulihe Town will receive a major demerit, and I want to see their written self-criticisms in person within three days."

Nie Zhenhuan then realized.

How inadequate is my own work?

Receiving disciplinary action or a major demerit is only a temporary measure.

Once this matter is resolved, he must personally oversee this work again.

Just then.

dong dong!

A knock sounded at the door.

"Go!" Nie Zhenhuan shouted angrily, his emotions still running high.

The person who led the way in was a police officer.

Two teachers-looking people followed behind him, their faces showing exhaustion and disappointment.

Nie Zhenhuan recognized the man in the peaked cap at a glance, his brows furrowing: "Director Yang, what...is this?"

Yang Jinghua nodded to Director Lin first, and then saluted Nie Zhenhuan.

"Reporting to Inspector Nie, after receiving Principal Jiang's request for help, I immediately organized a team to search for Qin Ze within the city."

Lin Zheng had high hopes for Director Yang's arrival.

but.

When he saw the droopy faces of Jiang Xingguo and Wang Huiju, he began to feel uneasy.

He asked anxiously, "And the result?"

Yang Jinghua looked troubled: "Director Lin, please don't worry."

"After Qin Ze finished the college entrance examination and moved out of the apartment, he appeared twice in public surveillance footage."

"The first time was at a mobile phone store in this city."

"After investigation, it was learned that Qin Ze had sold his cell phone."

side said.

Yang Jinghua took out the videotape he had copied.

Even through the blurry image, everyone could see it very clearly.

Qin Ze handed a black object to the shop owner.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the shop owner handed Qin Ze two large red banknotes.

See here.

Lin Zheng was furious: "You swindler! You only offer two hundred yuan? Even a broken phone costs more than that!"

Yang Jinghua explained, "We visited the shop owner."

"Qin Ze was selling a knock-off smartphone, the kind that old people use."

"We also saw the phone; it was in very poor condition, almost unusable."

"The shop owner said he wouldn't have used this kind of phone anyway, but he gave Qin Ze two hundred yuan out of pity because he thought he was sensible."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Zheng unconsciously looked at Li Fuping.

It's as if it's saying...

Let's see.

This is the good thing you've done.

What era are we living in? An 18-year-old is still using an old-fashioned phone that's not even worth 200 yuan.

Yang Jinghua then explained, "Qin Ze sold his phone, which is probably why we can't contact him."

With a furrowed brow, Nie Du asked, "You just mentioned two video clips? What about the second one?"

"The second section is the one we filmed near the city's main bus station."

Yang Jinghua then produced the second video recording.

"Qin Ze boarded the No. 1511 suburban bus."

"Since then, no cameras have captured any footage of him."

Nie Du asked anxiously, "Route 1511? Where does this bus go?"

"Besides Yanghuai Town, it's all deep mountains and forests."

Nie Du: "..."
