After the meal, he still walked to work. When he arrived at the Commune, Huang Weizhong said that he had already sent the trial notice in the afternoon. The sentence would be pronounced in the morning, after which the convicted would be escorted to the farm.

Han Qingsong said, “Tomorrow, the sentence will be handed over to the Revolutionary Committee.”

The Revolutionary Committee would pronounce the sentence and the Public Security Bureau would escort them along with the militia.

Sun Zhuowen believed that it was Han Qingsong who wanted to push the responsibility to someone else by making others feel as if it was the Revolutionary Committee who made the sentence. He couldn’t help but say, “Director Han, it’s fine to have the Revolutionary Committee make the sentencing. However, the signature of approval is from our side, so we shouldn’t shrink away from the responsibility.”

Han Qingsong turned his head to look at him, “Shrink away? Was the judgment wrong?”

Sun Zhuowen didn’t expect Han Qingsong to be this direct without the slightest use of euphemism, putting him in an awkward position instead.

Huang Weizhong immediately said, “No, no, Director Han made a good judgment.”

At this time, a loud voice sounded outside, “Director Han, Luo Haicheng is here to report!”

Huang Weizhong immediately said, “Director Han, this is Luo Haicheng— Captain Luo, the Company Commander of our Commune militia and the Captain of the Public Security Bureau.”

Luo Haicheng stepped forward with large strides, “Director Han!”

Han Qingsong stood up and shook hands with him, “Comrade Luo Haicheng, hello.”

Sun Zhuowen looked at the scene with slight bitterness from the sidelines. When he was working as the stand-in Director a while ago, Luo Haicheng barely cooperated with him and even laughed at him.

Han Qingsong had a chat with Luo Haicheng to learn more about the security situation in the Commune’s jurisdiction. He knew that there was no problem mainly because of the training of the militiamen.

Luo Haicheng handed over the training plan to Han Qingsong for a review, “Director Han, please revise this.”

Han Qingsong glanced at it, “Yes, that’s fine to go along with this. The production teams should be flexible in their militia training, especially towards the farms. Also, remember to pay attention to the patrols of the production teams.”

“Yes!”

“After the sentence is pronounced tomorrow, I will ask Captain Luo to escort them to the labor farm,” Han Qingsong said.

Luo Haicheng smiled and said, “As Director Han ordered me to, I will definitely make it happen.”

Sun Zhuowen couldn’t wait to kick Luo Haicheng away; what was up with that disgustingly diligent act?

In the afternoon, Han Qingsong familiarized himself with the environment and went to the temporary detention center of the Public Security Bureau.

The so-called detention center was just a small yard in the corner. At this time, the prisoners do not need to be tied up. They were confined here and would be sent off to the labor farms after their sentence.

Han Qinghua was sent back to the Commune two days ago and was now locked up with Zhao Jianshe and his three accomplices.

When they first met, Zhao Jianshe was furious. Along with his friend Skinny, the two gave Han Qinghua a good beating.

If it wasn’t for Han Qinghua telling him about the 1,500 yuan, how could he have had such evil thoughts to lead others and attempt to steal the money, causing him to be caught by Han Qingsong himself?

He even wondered if Han Qinghua did it on purpose, but Han Qinghua said he was blamed wrongly. He was merely providing information, so how was it possible that he staged this?

He didn’t know that his third brother would come back at that time.

Han Qingsong stood outside the wall and looked at a few people in the yard.
