Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

A thrilling hijacking case finally came to an end.

Du Ming was captured and the two hostages were rescued. This seems to be the best outcome.

Zhang Xingye was busy for three days, until Si Lu and Jiang Yan were about to leave, he finally had time to host a dinner for them.

Zhang Xingye was full of sincerity. He set up a table at home and cooked a large table of food himself.

It was only when Jiang Yan arrived at the county party committee's staff quarters that he found out that Zhang Xingye had never married. He had lived alone for many years in a house of about 40 square meters, and his home was cold and deserted.

According to his level, he should have moved to a bigger house long ago. But Zhang Xingye thought, if he could feed himself and his family, why would he need such a big house?

Forty square meters is enough for him to live alone, which is good enough.

"Come on, sister-in-law, don't be polite, try my cooking." Zhang Xingye was wearing an old military trousers and a yellowed white shirt with two holes on the sleeves.

"I learned this skill in the army. I don't know if you can handle spicy food, but the mapo tofu I made is really good."

"Thank you, Director Zhang. You are so polite."

Zhang Xingye's face turned serious. "Why call me Director Zhang? That's too formal. In front of others, you can call me Director Zhang. Behind others, you can be like Si Lu and call me Old Squad Leader or Big Brother."

Si Lu nodded slightly, "You don't have to be polite with him. He will feel depressed if you call him Director Zhang." Zhang Xingye is a sentimental person, otherwise he would not have been alone for so many years.

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Zhang." She had never been a soldier, so why should she call him "old squad leader"?

Zhang Xingye chuckled, "At my age, I'm already an old man. It's an advantage for me to be your elder brother."

At his age, he can be Xiao Jiang’s father.

"Have you forgotten that seniority starts with me?" Si Lu's eyes widened. "This is my wife, of course you should call me that. What does your age have to do with it?"

"Yes, yes, that's right." Zhang Xingye poured wine for Si Lu, and the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.

"Sister-in-law, eat your food. Pay attention to your sister-in-law's order and don't just drink by yourself."

"You're still talking about me! Look at you, you can't drink anymore, right?"

Zhang Xingye glared and said, "Who said that? If you don't believe me, let's go one by one."

The two of them clinked glasses and soon finished half a bottle of liquor without their faces getting red or their heads getting dizzy. They both really could drink.

"I brought this wine. How can you be so stingy as a director? Can't you treat me to some good wine?"

"That's good, just drink it!"

Zhang Xingye lived a very frugal life. There was almost no furniture in his house. Most of the clothes he wore were old, and the dial of his watch was worn, and you could tell it was quite old.

As the head of a bureau, he earns a little over 100 yuan and has no family, so how come he lives in such a tight financial situation?

Jiang Yan thought, maybe he sent all his salary back to his hometown! After all, this generation was almost all from rural areas, and his father and brothers were all in the countryside, so it was reasonable for him to supplement some of the money.

"Du Ming has advanced liver cancer and won't live for many days. He is the godson of Liu Fengling, the victim of the Liujia Village arson case. He was planning to visit Liu Fengling's family on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but who could have imagined that he would be separated from his loved ones forever."

Zhang Xingye sighed. It was fate that played tricks on him. He was one of the people being played around by God!

"Liu Fengling's family is dead. Du Ming knew that they must have offended someone, so he didn't dare to show up, fearing that he would be targeted by the murderer, so he left. But in the past few years, he has been paying attention to this case and even secretly investigated the Liu family's case himself, but unfortunately he found nothing."

"He originally thought that he would fight this matter to the end for the rest of his life, but who would have thought that he would get liver cancer! It was a bolt from the blue."

Jiang Yan also said helplessly: "Sometimes things don't go as planned. By the way, has this Du Ming ever been a soldier?"

That person's willpower and anti-detection ability are so strong that he can't be an ordinary person.

"Yes! The year when the Liu family got into trouble, he was discharged from the army and returned home..."

No wonder.

"He knew that he didn't have many days left to live, so he thought that before he died he must bring this case to the public and expand its impact so that the case would have a chance to be re-investigated." Zhang Xingye said this, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it.

He also felt bad.

Du Ming is still in the hospital. If we follow normal procedures, he should be detained, a case should be filed, and then prosecution should be brought step by step before a verdict is made.

This process may be long, but Du Ming's physical condition no longer allows for repeated interrogations. Out of humanitarian considerations, he can only be hospitalized and wait for death.

The reality is so cruel.

"I have already re-opened the case in Liujia Village."

Zhang Xingye didn’t say what happened next, but Si Lu and Jiang Yan could both guess it.

Du Ming's death may have been a deserved punishment, but the Liujia Village case was undoubtedly tragic, and people are still uneasy that the real murderer is still at large.

"Old squad leader, how are the two hostages?"

"The female victim's injuries are not serious and she will be discharged soon. The male has lost a lot of blood, but fortunately he has no vital injuries. He will be able to go home and recuperate after a few more days."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xingye couldn't help but admire Jiang Yan. Her diagnosis was exactly the same as what the doctor said.

"Sister-in-law, I saw that you were not very old, but I didn't expect that you had such good medical skills."

Jiang Yan only said: "I haven't learned it systematically. There are people in my family who practice medicine. I have learned a little bit from them since I was a child."

Zhang Xingye was not a fool. He knew that there were many things that were beyond one’s control in this era, so he just changed the subject.

"I toast to Xiao Jiang with this cup!" Zhang Xingye said, "Just drink tea instead of wine!"

After that, he said very seriously: "You all saw what happened that day. If it weren't for the educated youth Xiao Jiang who stepped forward and arrested Du Ming, who knows how many people would have died! The things wrapped around him would have almost razed the entire first floor to the ground."

"Cheers to you." Zhang Xingye drank the wine in the glass.

Jiang Yan held the teacup and said, "Brother Zhang, what you said is serious. In that situation, anyone would have stood up."

Zhang Xingye laughed and shook his head, "Even if you have the intention, you may not have the ability." Isn't that the case with Doctor Li? She is very timid. It would be difficult for her to face such a vicious criminal.

"Old squad leader, we will go back tomorrow."

"Okay, I heard that Sun Changcun knows about your situation and wants to send a special car to take you?"

Si Lu couldn't help but say, "Director Sun is also a kind-hearted person. He dispatched a truck and took the people and goods directly back to the village."

Zhang Xingye laughed out loud after hearing this, "Old Sun is still a very polite person."
