After Bao Zhiguo finished talking about these trivial matters, he got back to business.

"The leaders of the commune came that day to listen to the report made by the educated youth Xiao Jiang. Our Shengli Brigade wants to vigorously develop sideline businesses to generate income, so the educated youth Xiao Jiang prepared a plan for a fish pond and wanted to report it to the leaders."

Bao Zhiguo sighed, "I don't know why Song Zhiqing was so violent. He and another female Zhiqing came over with firewood, lamp oil, and a piece of tattered clothes to set the fire.

Fortunately, our deputy captain was delayed that day and arrived late. He saw the backyard on fire before he entered the yard, so he ran a few steps to put out the fire. When Song Zhiqing and the female Zhiqing saw that the matter was exposed, they wanted to run away, but were caught on the spot by the deputy captain. "

Bao Zhiguo glanced at Song Zhe thoughtfully, "I don't know what they were thinking. They were arrested but still cried out that they were innocent. Could it be that someone asked them to set the fire? Or was someone forced to set the fire? They personally carried the pot of lamp oil and the firewood."

"Can I go see the crime scene?"

"Okay, come with me."

The two opened the door and came to the back of the house.

There are traces of burning on the ground. The area is not large, but the burnt color makes it clear that it has been burned.

It's strange to say, the fire was obviously put out quickly, but the traces left behind were very obvious. And from Song Zhe's point of view, the burn marks had not been processed again.

"Captain, shouldn't you be making reports at night? Logically speaking, shouldn't you be taking the reports to the commune?"

As soon as Bao Zhiguo heard it, he knew what he meant. He also started to have some opinions about Song Zhe, and the good impression he had when they first met also dissipated a lot.

"Fish farming is not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either. Comrade, you must know what the situation is now. People come and go in the commune, and we just don't want to cause trouble. Besides, I went to look for the leaders during the day, but they were not there. At night, when I was free, I persuaded them to come to our Victory Brigade. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask them in person. We act uprightly and there is nothing we can't say."

Song Zhe didn't blame Bao Zhiguo for his bad attitude. Song Jiaren had caused so much trouble for others, and he was trying to overturn Song Jiaren's actions and prove his innocence. No one would give him a good face.

"Captain, can you let me meet that educated youth named Xiao Jiang?"

Bao Zhiguo became alert, "What do you want to do?"

Song Zhe straightened his military uniform and said, "What can I do? I just heard that my useless family has caused a lot of trouble for the educated youth Xiao Jiang, so I want to apologize in person. Please don't misunderstand me."

Bao Zhiguo's expression looked better. "Wait a moment. As for whether Xiao Jiang is willing to see you, I can't guarantee it."

Song Zhe nodded and said nothing more.

The two returned to the office again. Bao Zhiguo went to call Jiang Yan, and Song Zhe waited in the room alone.

Jiang Yan knew that someone from the Song family was coming, but she didn't hide.

She is upright and has nothing to fear. If you want to see her, just go ahead and see her.

She just wanted to see what was going on in the Song family. How could they give birth to a weirdo like Song Jiaren? Was there anyone in their family who understood things, or were they all snakes and rats from the same nest?

Jiang Yan followed Bao Zhiguo into the office. When Song Zhe raised his eyes, he saw a girl wearing a blue coat and two pigtails walking in.

The girl was very fair, with a face like a flower bud, cool eyebrows and eyes, and a strong appearance. Although she was dressed simply and looked no different from ordinary people, she was so beautiful that it seemed as if a beam of light was shrouding her, making her look so different.

Song Zhe was sure that even if there were thousands of people around her, he would be able to recognize her in the crowd at a glance.

"Comrade, this is Xiao Jiang Zhiqing. Xiao Jiang Zhiqing, this is Comrade Song Zhe, the uncle of Song Zhiqing."

Jiang Yan's expression was calm. She glanced at Song Zhe's military rank calmly, and then said, "What does Captain Song want to ask?"

Song Zhe only said, "Little Jiang Zhiqing, I have no ill intentions. I just want to inquire about Song Jiaren. As far as I know, you and Song Jiaren are classmates?"

"Yes!"

"The other educated youth who got into trouble was also your classmate."

Jiang Yan nodded, "Yes."

"Since you are classmates, your relationship should be very harmonious, but I heard that your relationship doesn't seem to be like that."

Bao Zhiguo was a little anxious. What was he saying? It sounded like he was interrogating a criminal.

Jiang Yan smiled, "What is the identity of Captain Song who is interrogating me? Am I a prisoner? Or is Captain Song unfair and wants to accuse me of a false crime in order to exonerate Song Jiaren?"

"You misunderstood, I..."

"I didn't misunderstand. Captain Song's tone really didn't sound like a normal question. But I can answer your question."

Jiang Yan gave Bao Zhiguo a calming look, "Captain Song must have found out a lot of things before he came. Yes, Song Jiaren, Xiao Yan and I are classmates, and our relationship is not very good. When I was in school, Xiao Zhiqing and Song Zhiqing often talked about my identity. When I arrived at the educated youth camp, these two people did not let me go. Xiao Zhiqing wanted to take advantage of me and take my things. Everyone in the educated youth camp knew about this. Song Zhiqing..."

Jiang Yan frowned deliberately, "He is too self-righteous. He thinks that all women in the world should like him. The one or two who don't like him are just being arrogant and pretentious."

Jiang Yan's words made Song Zhe frown. This was indeed something Song Jiaren could do.

"I really don't like Song Zhiqing. He's a bit of a jerk. He's so shameless and always says things that are half-truths. Besides, he set fires and committed murders. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. His personality is really too paranoid."

When Song Zhe heard Jiang Yan speak without making a single mistake, he knew that he couldn't get anything out of her.

This little girl was interesting, and quite different from anyone he had met before.

"Xiao Jiang Zhiqing, sorry to bother you. I've taken note of what you said."

Jiang Yan nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll go get busy."

Song Zhe made a gesture to invite him to go, and Jiang Yan turned and left.

Song Zhe watched her disappear at the end of the yard before turning to Bao Zhiguo and saying, "Captain, sorry to bother you."

He was so polite that Bao Zhiguo didn't say anything unpleasant.

"Comrade, I think you should go to the farm to visit Song Zhiqing! There is a lack of food and clothing over there. You have the time to ask about these useless things. You might as well buy something and visit Song Zhiqing."

"Yes, then I'll leave first. Sorry to bother you." Song Zhe left the production team compound with his things, but did not leave the Victory Brigade. He walked around the village and inquired about Song Jiaren's reputation. Finally, he left the Victory Brigade and went to the town.

It's not that he's unwilling, but as Song Jiaren's elder, he still has some responsibilities and obligations that he has to fulfill.
