Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lin Xiang was sitting in a large office, looking at an old man sitting on a metal folding chair across from him across the old table.

    The Seventy-Three Labor Camp receives a new batch of prisoners every week.  They could have come from any settlement in Republican territory.  As for the crimes """" In addition to the criminals who really violated the criminal law such as theft, robbery, murder, etc., probably more than half of them are classified as "anti-Party, anti-state socialism, counter-revolutionary" and so on.  The old man Guan Kuangli is at least over sixty years old. His snow-white hair is a bit messy and very sparse. You can even see the scalp through the sparse hair roots. He is very thin, and the wrinkles on his face are as deep as knife carvings, full of traces of time.  .Due to the lack of cleaning for a long time and the lack of water and other environmental factors, the surface is covered with fine dust particles. It looks very gray.

    Lin Xiang opened a file on the table and bound it with twine. On the side page was a document stamped with the seal of the Political Supervision Committee, which listed the old man's name, place of origin, age and other detailed information.  Among them, there are also several photos collected by other regulatory agencies.  Compared with the current situation, the old man in the film is not as decadent as he is now, and is surrounded by family members with smiles on their faces.

    His name is Chen Shouyi, he is sixty-four years old and a second-level engineer at the Railway Design Institute of the Republic of China.  Three months ago, he was arrested by the supervision department of his unit and has been detained in the Xinjing City Sixth Police Bureau.  According to the results of the first and second trials, he has been identified as a counter-revolutionary revolutionary.

    The second page of the file in Lin Xiang¡¯s hand was accompanied by the autograph of Director Yifeng and a short note that arrived with the file.  The content is very brief, and the purpose is very clear - deleting the Political Supervision Committee requires Chen Shouyi to hand over what he has.

    Judging from the handwriting, it is obvious that the note was not written by the director of the Supervisory Committee.  But Lin Xiang understands that someone who has the ability to put such a piece of paper in the file bag must have great power, and may even influence the director's mouth to a certain extent. If the matter is not too special, people in the new capital will not treat it like this.  A troublesome character, sent to No. 73 Labor Camp.

    The speculation may not be completely consistent with the truth, and Lin Xiang cannot find clues from simple case review documents.  But one thing is for sure - the director will never sign a simple document. Maybe this can be seen as a test?  It may also be that you want to use this to judge your ability to handle affairs.  After all, as long as they are prisoners assigned to No. 73 Farm, they must obey their own jurisdiction.

    Looking at the files on the desktop, Lin Xiang slowly frowned.

    Opposite, the old man sitting on the chair was also looking at him.

    The room was deathly silent.  No one spoke, only the ventilation fan high on the wall was turning slowly, casting an alternating light and dark shadow on the floor and interior walls.

    Nearly five minutes later, Lin Xiangzhui stood up from his chair, walked to the closet, picked up the stainless steel teapot filled with water, poured a full glass of water, and sent it to the old man.

    "I don't like to use force to force others to speak. But this does not mean that my character will be weaker than others. I hope you can understand and be smart enough."

    Lin Xiang¡¯s voice was not loud, but it caused a hollow echo in the spacious room.

    The old man was not polite at all. He took the water glass and drank it in one gulp.  While leveling the cup, he also took a long breath. The look on his face seemed a little lonely and he didn't answer.

    "Tell me! What do you know?"

    Lin Xiang returned to his desk and sat down, took out a box of "Red Star" cigarettes from the drawer, took out one and lit it, and said seriously: "There are some secrets that you shouldn't know. Telling them will be good for the Tian family."  In the "criminal record" column of the file, it is mentioned in vague terms that Chen Shouyi "posed a threat to the safety of the country's main leaders" without actually explaining his specific actions, time, location and other details.  This is completely different from the files of other prisoners in No. 73 Labor Camp.

    The old man raised his head and looked at Lin Xiang without saying a word.  After a few minutes, the Dawn God hit him, leaned his body back, and sneered in a hoarse voice: "I don't even know why you grabbed me."  mouth.  Young man, although you are exactly the same as the guy named Lin in the textbook, you are obviously too young and your level is not enough.  Let¡¯s talk to someone with a higher position!  you.  "Kou" Kou. Not qualified enough."

    Breathing out a thick puff of smoke, Lin Xiang stared at the old man, his eyes slowly moving on the other person's face and body, scanning the wounds that were raised from under the muscles and skin, as well as those exposed from under the collar and cuffs, and the surface was still exposed.  There are still black scars from the blood craziness.

    "Being beaten with whips, tied with wires, and hit hard with sticks" were even mixed with traces of burns and scars, needle pricks and burns, especially on the head.?Those areas that appear to be bald are obviously caused by someone pulling out the hair with force.

    "You should have suffered a lot before coming here. I don't have the patience to play hide-and-seek with you. To be honest, if you are smart enough, you should tell the truth."

    Lin Xiang flicked the cigarette ashes with his fingers and said calmly: "Actually, you don't need to be tortured at all." The old man looked at his face indifferently, and the mocking meaning in his eyes did not diminish at all.

    He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on his desk, lit it with a lighter, and took a puff.  Lin Xiang held the cigarette and walked up to the old man. He lowered his head and looked at the iron shackles tightly bound on his wrists and ankles. He turned the cigarette butt and stuffed the slightly wet filter into his chapped lips.

    ¡°People who are addicted cannot smoke, which is actually the biggest torture.¡±

    Lin Xiang glanced at the words "history of smoking" in the criminal's "Hobbies" column on the inside page of the file, raised his head, and focused his eyes again on the slightly confused old face opposite.  Youyou blew out a puff of pale white smoke and asked in a voice that did not change at all: "Tell me your story! You will find that I am a good listener."

    Before the old man could speak sarcastically, Lin Xiang lost no time and added: "I forgot to tell you something. According to the current relevant laws, your wife, children, and all family members were already included as coercive accomplices on the day of your arrest."  Of course, you may have expected this. Previous interrogation records also mentioned that you repeatedly claimed that everything had nothing to do with them. But you seem to have forgotten one very key thing - Shen - under the control of the Red Republican Army  Within the scope, it is impossible to have a lawyer appear in court to defend you like in the old days. In other words, their fate """ depends on you.  "

    The old man was smoking a cigarette with a dull expression. His expression remained motionless, but the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.

    "mouth".

    The process of Chen Shouyi¡¯s case is actually very simple.  There is no complicated deceit, no bloody and cruel murder, not even the most ordinary and clumsy theft and robbery.  But judging from the nature of the case itself, it is indeed very serious.

    The Railway Engineering Design Institute is mainly responsible for the planning and design of railways between various areas within the sphere of influence of the Red Republic Army.  Because the scope of governance is too large and the area is sparsely populated, it is not cost-effective to spend a lot of fuel and rely on road transportation to transport materials.  As for the so-called railway planning, it is nothing more than re-laying the rails based on the original lines of the old era, or cutting out a new curved section as a branch road.  So that most settlements in the entire northwest region can benefit from it.

    Chen Shouyi has been in the design institute for nearly forty years.  He is an out-and-out expert in geographical exploration and route design.  He is a very cautious person and never participates in the battles between the various so-called "revolutionary factions" within the unit.  Neutral, kind to others, down-to-earth in work, responsible and selfless." All these are relevant comments about him from several department leaders over the years. Of course, the review evaluations of the political supervisory committee members will always add a few words: "Not enough about class struggle.  Take the initiative¡±, ¡°lack resistance to capitalist penetration¡±, ¡°never actively participate in party affairs and belong to the type of people who swing back and forth on the edge of politics¡± and so on.

    Chen Shouyi is very popular and never offends anyone.  He is diligent and busy at his job. Although he is not the kind of person who is regarded as a hero or role model by everyone, he has no negative comments among his colleagues.  In the eyes of many people, he is a little old man who concentrates on his work, is strict with his children and maintains a harmonious family.

    Human thinking ability will gradually decline with age.  If Chen Shouyi had maintained his fixed appearance, his life might still have maintained its original trajectory.

    According to the relevant laws of the Republic of China: staff of male livestock institutions can retire when they reach seventy years old.

    Although they can still receive sufficient food rations as usual, they no longer enjoy the average monthly share of agency members in terms of special living resources such as oil, sugar, and meat.  Of course, this regulation only applies to responsible communication staff.  If you can reach a certain administrative level before retirement, similar to a high position such as deputy dean or dean in the old days, then you can get a completely different status of "retired cadre".

    People who lived a prosperous life in the old days would have a hard time imagining life in the wasteland world.  Unlike the refugees in the wilderness who had to desperately search for food to relieve their hunger every day, the people under the rule of the Red Republican Army, although they could eat enough, had an unusual preference for fat and meat.  The yearning for beauty and prosperity is the basic driving force for human society to move from ignorance to civilization.  Chen Shouyi's purpose was simply to enjoy the oily aroma of five ounces of pork per month after retirement.

    He feels that he can definitely do this - in terms of length of service, qualifications, and actual work ability.Everyone can be ranked at the forefront of the design institute.  Even if Kai doesn't covet the high position of deputy dean, he should at least get a position like department head.

    This is not a delusion without any basis.  In terms of the administrative system, the Red Republican Army has largely followed many rules of the old era. Especially for the elderly who are about to retire, they usually arrange an insignificant high-level position so that they can earn enough political capital before leaving.  Generally speaking, this kind of thing will only target those who have made significant contributions to the affairs of the unit.  The transition period can be as long as a year or as short as a few months. It will not have any impact on the actual people in power, but it can get enough benefits from it.

    Relying on the popularity accumulated over the years, Chen Shouyi was easily nominated by the department head.  That period was probably the most glorious and the most exciting time in his life.  Chen Shouyi finally understood why the ancients invented the word "spring breeze proudly". For the first time in his life, he tasted the "special treatment" of being flattered by others and having gift-givers come to his home from time to time.  Although most of the gifts delivered to him were eggs, lard, bottles of liquor or packs of cigarettes, and occasionally "luxury goods" such as military cans, they could indeed satisfy Chen Shouyi's vanity.

    Things often change unexpectedly.  Without any warning, half a month later, according to the decision made at the office meeting of the Academy¡¯s Party Committee, the position of head of Chen Shouyi¡¯s department fell to a little-known female employee who had just graduated from a professional surveying and mapping school within two years.

    When he heard the news, Chen Shouyi sat in his seat in shock for half an hour. Then he ran to the public notice list with disbelief, held his glasses close to him, and looked at the black name written on the red paper.  I watched it for nearly an hour.  In the end, with a loss that could not be expressed in words deep in my heart, with red eyes, as if all the strength in my body had been drained, I supported the wall as if exhausted, and slowly moved home with faltering steps.

    He simply cannot accept this unimaginable reality.  The feeling of hope falling suddenly from the high clouds made him feel dizzy and out of breath.  Immediately afterwards, the body that seemed to have been drained of all its contents was instantly burned and filled with crazy jealousy and anger.

    He wants revenge - a newcomer who has just joined the job has no reason to run ahead of him.  What's more, she is still a yellow-haired girl who cannot compare with herself in terms of qualifications and experience.

    Once an honest person is determined to do something, there is no obstacle that can stop him from his crazy stubbornness.

    Chen Shouyi began to follow the female official who had just taken office.  Although he had not received any special training in this area, with his reputation as a good old man and the pity and sympathy of most people, he still figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.  And the so-called inside story also made his anger rise again - the reason why the woman came to power was actually exactly the same as Chen Shouyi imagined.

    Being beautiful enough, young enough, and daring to take off her clothes and do it are a woman¡¯s biggest physical advantage and the sharpest weapon.  In this respect, men can never compare.  Lying down with her legs spread out, coupled with a beautiful face and graceful figure, a woman is a dish that all men covet.

    Men "mouth".  OK?

    I want to expose - I want to sue, I want to kill you, these filthy, corrupt bastards, the moment they found out that the new female boss was having an affair with the dean, Chen Shouyi felt like all the blood in his body was boiling.  He felt like a teenager rejuvenated and happily wrote tens of thousands of words of reporting materials.  In his opinion, killing this woman was as simple as killing an ant.  The Republican Army has a set of strict and harsh rules.  The Political Supervision Committee accepts reports from anyone, especially those that clearly belong to the dregs of capitalist society. It is a serious crime that must be wiped out.  Chen Shouyi seemed to have seen the young and beautiful female boss being arrested together with the dean, and being paraded through the streets with thousands of people twisting their arms, with big red crosses on their chests such as "broken shoes, small counter-revolutionary orders" and so on.  A wooden sign, wearing a tall white hat with a pointed peak on his head, and his body was covered with foul-smelling saliva."""

    As for the seats left after they are cleared, it is logical that they should belong to themselves.

    Most speculators have this mentality of climbing on other people's heads.  Chen Shouyi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. He just took back what originally belonged to him.  Undoubtedly, this is just and deserved.

    The conspiracies brewed by honest people will always be leaked for some strange reasons.  The female boss and the dean immediately found Chen Shouyi and talked to them separately.  The content is also full of earnest exhortations and pleas.  Both men made a solemn promise that they would promote Chen Shouyi to a high-level cadre before retiring.  Let him enjoy the treatment he deserves and get everything he wants.

    If Chen Shouyi agrees, then the whole??The matter may have ended at this time, and there will never be any changes in the future.

    ?Perhaps he is carried away by anger, or he is disgusted by this unhealthy trend.  Again.  "" Chen Shouyi also had a little potential expectation in his heart.  The position he was looking for was no longer department head, and he began to fantasize about being the dean.  This is not an unfounded fantasy. According to the relevant regulations promulgated by the Political Supervision Committee - once the whistleblower's revelation is confirmed, he will receive a large amount of material rewards equivalent to military merit.  If they pass political review, they can even be directly appointed as the core leader of their region or unit.

    He sternly rejected the pleas of the dean and his female boss.  At that time, it seemed to him that he had all the advantages.  It was precisely under the anesthesia of this unprecedented sense of satisfaction that he did not turn in the report letter in time, but delayed it for nearly ten days.  He enjoyed watching the woman and the dean look in panic every day, and his potential vanity was greatly satisfied by the other party's sad and sad face.  At that time, Chen Shouyi truly realized the wonderful feeling of holding power and watching others tremble on their knees.  !  ~!
