"What's going on?" Liu Hongjun also realized that something big had happened, otherwise everyone's faces wouldn't be so ugly.

"Last night, the old couple of the Zhou family died." Qian Shengli said in a deep voice.

"Dead? How did he die?" Liu Hongjun exclaimed.

“I don’t know. I just arrived and thought that after locking them up for a night, it was enough, so I asked them to let them out.

As a result..." Qian Shengli shook his head.

Liu Hongjun walked quickly to the backyard of the village committee compound and came to the small dark room where Zhou's father and son were imprisoned.

The old couple of the Zhou family were lying on the kang at this time, their eyes tightly closed, and the ropes on their bodies had been untied.

Zhou Yongqiang had also been released and was crying on the old couple of the Zhou family.

Liu Hongjun walked over, reached out and felt Zhou Lao's nose, but found no breathing. He then lifted Zhou Lao's arm and took his pulse carefully.

Confirmed dead.

Then, Liu Hongjun opened Zhou's eyelids again and took a look. His pupils dilated radially.

"You murderer, it's all because of you. Give me back my parents' lives!" Seeing Liu Hongjun, Zhou Yongqiang rushed towards Liu Hongjun crying.

However, before Zhou Yongqiang could pounce, he was controlled by the militia.

"Call the police!" Liu Hongjun said to Qian Shengli in a deep voice.

"This?" Qian Shengli looked at Liu Hongjun, hesitated for a moment, and did not say anything else.

Liu Hongjun turned around and walked out of the small dark room with Qian Shengli and came to the front yard.

"I think we should do a good job of persuading Zhou Yongqiang. Once we call the police, the impact will be too bad." Qian Shengli whispered.

"Shengli is right. I also don't agree with calling the police. You are in a critical period now, so it's best not to call the police about this matter." Secretary Dong walked over and whispered to Liu Hongjun.

Liu Hongjun looked at Secretary Dong in confusion. What was his critical period?

Seeing Liu Hongjun's puzzled look, Secretary Dong also looked at Liu Hongjun with doubt and asked: "You don't know? Didn't your father-in-law tell you?"

"What did you say?" Liu Hongjun became even more confused and asked Secretary Dong.

"I will retire next year, and the commune has decided that you will serve as the party branch secretary of Yushutun." Secretary Dong said seriously.

“You really don’t know?

I noticed that you have been very active in the village committee recently, so I thought you knew it." Qian Shengli also said.

"I haven't seen my father-in-law for several months, where did you hear about it?

So you two both know about it?" Liu Hongjun said with a wry smile.

"We thought you knew it, and since it hasn't been announced yet, we didn't mention it." Qian Shengli scratched his head and explained with a smile.

“Let’s not talk about this matter for now. Regarding the accidental death of the old couple of the Zhou family, I still insist on calling the police.

This matter cannot be concealed.

Rather than waiting until the end, when everyone knows about the incident and the police intervene, we will be in a passive position.

It would be better if we just called the police right from the start.

We did not make any mistake in this matter.

I made the decision to put Zhou Yongqiang and his parents under house arrest based on village rules and regulations.

And what I said at that time was to lock him up for one night and send him to the police station today.

There is no problem with this decision.

Therefore, the death of Zhou Yongqiang's parents was just an accident.

Call the police first, and then negotiate to resolve the problem." Liu Hongjun insisted.

“The Red Army is right, this matter cannot be concealed.

Then call the police!" Secretary Dong thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, call the police!

The decisions made by the Red Army were also based on village rules and regulations.

We are dedicated to the public good and don't worry about what others say." Qian Shengli nodded seriously.

When Liu Hongjun heard what the two people said, a smile appeared on his face.

He understood that the two people understood the implicit meaning of his words.

Liu Hongjun made the decision on behalf of the Yushutun Village Committee in accordance with village rules and regulations.

As long as you grasp this point, you will be right wherever you go.

After reaching a consensus, Qian Shengli returned to the office and called the Taipinggou Police Station.

After calling the police, Qian Shengli thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called the commune.

The call was made to Liu Hongjun's father-in-law Yang Guangfu.

Just like Liu Hongjun said, this matter is too big to be concealed.

When Qian Shengli made the call, many villagers had already arrived outside the village committee compound.

They were all people who heard the news and ran over to watch the fun.

Liu Hongjun ignored the villagers who came to watch the fun and turned to walk into the village committee office.

"Hongjun, this matter is not your fault. We can only say that the old couple of the Zhou family deserved to die." Accountant Su comforted Liu Hongjun when he saw him come in.

“This is all retribution!

The old couple of the Zhou family were frightened to death. When I saw them this morning, their eyes were wide open..." Tian Xiaobing said.

"Uncle Su, you don't have to comfort me.

Although two people died in the Zhou family, I feel very sorry.

But I won’t be so depressed about this.

I put them in solitary confinement out of public interest and with a clear conscience." Liu Hongjun took out a cigarette, distributed one to everyone, and lit one for himself before speaking.

Whether in the future or in this life, Liu Hongjun has been accustomed to life and death. Naturally, he would not be sad or blame himself because of the death of two people.

"Red Army, let's hold a meeting first to discuss how to deal with this matter.

No matter what, the person died in our village committee compound." Secretary Dong came over and said to Liu Hongjun and others.

"Okay!" Liu Hongjun nodded, stood up and walked out of the office and went to the meeting room next door.

As soon as I walked into the conference room, I saw Li Aimin sitting in the conference room with his head down.

"Didn't you go back to rest?" Liu Hongjun was stunned for a moment and asked casually.

“Brother Hongjun, I’m sorry, I’ve caused trouble for the village committee.

If I hadn't tied up Old Man Zhou and his wife yesterday, maybe they wouldn't have died." Li Aimin said with a face full of self-blame.

"Ai Min, this is not your fault!

It was my decision to put someone in solitary confinement.

We tie them up because they are criminal suspects, and restraining their movements is a necessary measure for us to take.

So, you are not wrong!" Liu Hongjun put his hand on Li Aimin's shoulder and said seriously.

"Really?"

“Really, Zhou Yongqiang and his two sons are suspected of attempted rape, which is a criminal act.

Our village committee and your militia have the obligation to stop crime." Liu Hongjun patted Li Aimin's shoulder vigorously.

Liu Hongjun naturally would not mention such a thing as inappropriate bundling.

After all, Li Aimin mentioned to him yesterday the matter of tying up Zhou Yongqiang and the other two, told him about it, and got his consent.

Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with Li Aimin, and Liu Hongjun will not blame Li Aimin.

Without waiting for Li Aimin to speak, Liu Hongjun continued, "Okay, stop thinking too much, go back and have a rest!

All your actions were just following orders, so there is no need to blame yourself."
