Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s
Chapter 212 The County Mayor Personally Intervenes

After hanging up the phone, County Chief Guo Zijing walked out of his office, "Secretary Liu, get the car ready, we’re going to Chaoyang Commune."

Secretary Liu asked, "Should we give Chaoyang Commune a heads-up before we go, Secretary?"

Guo Zijing checked his wristwatch and replied, "Sure, go ahead and call them to give them a heads-up, so we don’t end up not finding anyone when we get there."

At Chaoyang Commune, Wang Tiejun, who was about to finish for the day, was stopped by the operator, "Director, there’s a call from the county office."

Wang Tiejun quickly propped up his bicycle and hurried over, "This is Wang Tiejun."

Wang Tiejun hadn’t expected the County Chief to come and inquire about the case personally. Who exactly was the victim that so many people were interested in this case?

He thought Zhang Dezheng, the Branch Secretary, was likely not going to hold the position for much longer. The higher-ups hadn’t said anything explicitly; everyone who called was only asking about the progress of the case. Sigh!

After hanging up the phone, Wang Tiejun hurried out to stop all the cadres from the commune and colleagues from the local police station, "Delay your departure. The county just called; the County Chief will be visiting in a moment."

The head of the local police station, Liu Jun, asked, "Director, what kind of background does the victim have?"

Wang Tiejun replied, "We don’t know their background, but as long as we handle the case fairly and justly, that’s alright. Those above also only asked to make sure it’s handled fairly and justly on the phone.

I reckon the callers are aware of Zhang Dezheng’s identity and are worried that we might be biased in handling it."

The only female officer at the police station, Wang Xiaoru, said softly, "The Branch Secretary’s daughter is really something else. Today, Cheng Ping and I went to Qingshan Village to take Luo Qiao’s statement.

While taking photos to secure the evidence, seeing the injuries on her body was truly shocking. I thought at the time how lucky she must have been to avoid being hit or trampled by a cow, and to have the good fortune of grabbing onto the elm at the edge of the cliff to prevent herself from falling."

The thicket below the cliff was full of thorns; had she fallen, the consequences would be unthinkable. She suffered greatly for no reason at all."

Standing by, Cheng Ping said, "This woman’s jealousy is terrifying. She had no interaction with her at all, and just because the other girl got into the city’s top high school, she was willing to go so far. It’s truly an undeserved disaster."

Wang Xiaoru turned to Cheng Ping, "Don’t tar everyone with the same brush. Who could be as malicious as her?"

The police station chief Liu Jun said, "Now that we have all the statements and evidence, let’s send her away first thing tomorrow morning."

After waiting for over an hour, they finally arrived. The cadre from the commune and the colleagues from the police station together received County Chief Guo and Secretary Liu.

After discussing the commune’s daily work for a few moments, County Chief Guo moved on to the case at hand. Learning that evidence had been gathered and the criminal had confessed without reservation, with the intention to transfer her to the county detention center the next day,

he carefully inquired about the details of the incident. Knowing that the criminal was a seventeen-year-old girl, whose father was the village Branch Secretary, and understanding the girl’s motive for the crime,

he fell silent for a long while before saying, "If he can raise his child to be like this, it appears he isn’t suited to stay in this position. His daughter is so spoiled; he should put his own house in order first."

Wang Tiejun said, "Indeed, such a Party member and cadre also represents a failure on our part, we cadre from the commune must also reflect and review."
