There were many types of counter-revolutionaries in a broad sense, ranging from adherence to feudalism to populism. All of these could be categorized as counter-revolutionaries. If there was an accurate ultimate standard, everyone, including Vézé, could be categorized as counter-revolutionaries. Counter-revolutionaries in a narrow sense were much simpler. In the Min dynasty, anyone who opposed the Min dynasty's political system could be categorized as counter-revolutionaries.
Ruan Xihao didn't have much understanding of counter-revolutionaries in a broad sense, nor did he intend to. As for counter-revolutionaries in a narrow sense … Ruan Xihao hadn't seen one for many years. Ever since the fall of the Manchu Qing, the most famous force in the country was the Shi Da Gang. Moreover, the Shi Da Gang had never set overthrowing the Min dynasty as their goal. As for the foreigners, they only fought against China and had nothing to do with the revolution. After their defeat, they didn't even persist in opposing the Chinese.
Wu Liao and Zhao Jingtu's faces were as dark as could be. Something like this happened as soon as the leader came for an inspection. They had lost a lot of face. Wu Liao accompanied Ruan Xihao while Zhao Jingtu personally went to check on the situation. Ruan Xihao didn't give Wu Liao any pressure. He only called his comrades in the farm to ask about the situation. Wu Liao's face was extremely gloomy. It didn't matter what Ruan Xihao said. As long as Ruan Xihao sat there, Wu Liao would feel a lot of pressure.
On the other hand, Ruan Xihao spoke calmly. Things had come to this point, and he only needed to wait for the results. Since that was the case, he might as well learn more about the farm before the results. The scale of the farm wasn't small. It was more than two hundred square kilometers. Although 200 square kilometers was nothing compared to the military farms in the Northeast, it was just a piece of land that was 10 kilometers by 20 kilometers. But such a large piece of flat land was big enough for the South.
The farm adopted a rotation system. The land was divided into three parts: alfalfa, wheat, and rye. The use of alfalfa and rye straws to feed the livestock resulted in a very high land utilization rate. The beef was very delicious and it was very famous in Shenyang and even in Hebei. In recent years, bread had gradually become popular in China. China had even specially sent people to Germany and other European countries to learn how to make bread. In addition to beef, the farms also made excellent rye bread. The farm staff were very confident when they introduced the farm's products. If it wasn't for the inappropriate situation, Ruan Xihao would have liked to try the farm's proud rye wheat buns and beef right now.
Zhao Jingtu did not return even after the farm staff had finished explaining the situation. Wu Liao wasn't the kind of person who couldn't bear it, so he asked the farm to prepare some food for him. Rye Beer, Rye Kvass, Rye Bread, Big Steak. Ruan Xihao ate happily. The slightly bitter rye bread was invigorating. The beef was extremely tender and melted in the mouth. Paired with rye beer and rye kvass, it was a great enjoyment. After eating the delicious food, Ruan Xihao began to understand why the army was unwilling to give up the farm. No one would be willing to spend money to buy food in the future.
Zhao Jingtu spent a few hours before he finally returned. It seemed that he had already gone through a great deal of anger. His entire face looked a little twisted and sinister, but there was a relaxed look on his face that was unique to someone who had just released some pressure. Seeing that Zhao Jingtu wanted to talk to Wu Liao alone, Wu Liao quickly said, "Let's talk now, we don't need to talk alone."
Looking at Zhao Jingtu's awkward expression, Wu Liao sighed, "You've already embarrassed yourself to this extent, what are you afraid of? You don't have to tell Political Commissar Ruan what you said to me first? Rather than embarrassing yourself twice, it's better to just embarrass yourself once! "
Wu Liao's words made sense, and more importantly, they made sense. Zhao Jingtu sat down in front of Ruan Xihao. He first ate a piece of rye bread with butter, then gulped down a few mouthfuls of rye kvass before he began to explain the situation.
Two people were killed. One was the head of the farm, the other was a female farm staff member. According to the comrades in the farm, the relationship between the two was probably a good one. Everyone thought that the female staff member was single, but not long ago, her husband came to the farm and asked the female staff member to go home. Not only did the female staff member not want to go home, but she also wanted to divorce her husband.
After the incident, the head of the farm staff member was furious. Today, the female staff member insisted on seeing the head of the farm staff member. The two argued for a while, then the head of the farm staff member screamed and yelled, "How dare you kill me!"
When the comrades outside realized something was wrong and rushed in, they saw the head of the farm staff member lying in a pool of blood. The female staff member also had a dagger in her chest. The head of the farm staff member must have fought back after being attacked. Both of them did not survive.
After saying all this, Zhao Jingtu let out two long sighs. He couldn't bring himself to say anything else about self-reflection or self-criticism. Wu Liao couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't expect this to happen. This was an embarrassment that no one else could bear.
Ruan Xihao wasn't angry, nor was he angry. He frowned and thought for a while, then said with a straight face, "This isn't right!"
"Political Commissar Ruan, we know we didn't do a good job …" Wu Liao immediately said.
"No, no, no!" Ruan Xihao quickly waved his hand, "Even if the two of them wanted to break up, what do you think the girl would do?"
Wu Liao and Zhao Jingtu were stunned. Their minds were initially occupied by the thought of "embarrassment". After hearing what Ruan Xihao said, they started to feel that something was wrong. When a man and a woman broke up, if the woman didn't want to, she would cry, throw a tantrum, or even commit suicide. They had never heard of a woman stabbing the man to death with a knife.
Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Ruan Xihao continued, "When it comes to this kind of thing, it's usually the man stabbing the woman to death. I've never seen a woman stabbing the man."
"What if they accidentally hurt each other?" Wu Liao asked. If the man didn't want the woman to leave, he could threaten her with a knife. There was also the possibility of accidentally hurting each other during the fight.
After hearing Wu Liao's opinion, Zhao Jingtu nodded, "Also, what if the female staff member wanted to commit suicide with a knife and the head of the farm staff tried to grab the knife and accidentally hurt himself? That's also possible. "
"If that's the case, then you wouldn't have the guts to kill me. Accidentally hurting each other while trying to grab a knife, why would you dare to kill me? That doesn't make sense, "Ruan Xihao said.
"Then …" Wu Liao didn't know what to do.
"Everyone, protect the crime scene and the bodies of the two comrades. We will immediately send someone to Shenyang to get the police to investigate the crime scene and examine the bodies. "Ruan Xihao gave his answer.
"Get the police involved in our military's matter?" Zhao Jingtu didn't expect Ruan Xihao to come up with such a solution.
"Our military isn't as good as the police in this area. We are only asking for the police's assistance," Ruan Xihao explained. After explaining, he paused for a moment and continued, "If this was a normal accidental injury, then it would be fine. If it wasn't an accidental injury, then it would be a big deal. You two should be mentally prepared. I'm not optimistic. Also, strengthen the security measures, no one is allowed to leave the farm. "
Wu Liao and Zhao Jingtu were stunned when they heard Ruan Xihao giving such an order.
Two days later, the Shenyang police and forensic team arrived at the farm by train. The police conducted the investigation and interrogation, while the forensic team examined the bodies and the weapons. That night, the two groups came up with their initial conclusions. "This male comrade was stabbed in the abdomen, but he didn't die on the spot. The murderer strangled him from behind, causing him to lose consciousness and finally bled to death. The female comrade was killed with one stab, and the wounds were all on the front, which means they were attacked from the front. "
Wu Liao didn't say anything. He just squinted his eyes and tightened his lips. From the degree of the muscles on his cheeks, Wu Liao's teeth were clenched tightly.
"Could it be that they were accidentally injured when they were fighting for the knife?" Zhao Jingtu asked. His tone wasn't so much questioning, but rather, it was more like he was looking forward to it.
"These two stabs were made with a lot of force, and there were no defensive wounds on their bodies, so it couldn't have been accidental injuries during the fight for the knife," the forensic team said.
Before Zhao Jingtu's emotions hit rock bottom, the forensic team continued, "Also, it wasn't one knife that stabbed them, but two. The knife that stabbed the male comrade was sharpened, and the blade was stuck in the male comrade's ribs, causing a small nick. I carefully examined the knife that stabbed the female comrade, because it was said that the knife was still on the female comrade when it was found. There were no nicks on the knife's blade. Therefore, I can confirm that the two people were killed by two knives. There were no traces of a second knife found at the scene. Therefore, I can confirm that the knife that killed the male comrade was not an accidental injury. "
The forensic team's words initially shocked Zhao Jingtu, but when the evidence showed that there was no possibility of accidental injury, Zhao Jingtu stood up in anger, "Motherf * cker! Get me the Chief of the Security Division! This bastard lied to me, he must have done it! "
However, after searching the entire farm, the Chief of the Security Division was nowhere to be found. The final confirmation was that the Chief of the Security Division had gone out to patrol in the evening, and no one had seen him again.
The farm immediately began to search, and at noon the next day, the Chief of the Security Division was found hanging in the woods. There was a blood letter pressed under his feet with a stone, and on it was a line of words written crookedly in blood, "I am guilty, I killed him, please don't tell my family what I did!"
Two days later, the farm secretary, Zhou Chengkang, was writing his self-reflection when a few soldiers suddenly rushed in and restrained him. Following behind them were Ruan Xihao, Wu Liao, and Zhao Jingtu.
"Zhou Chengkang, let us check your military dagger," Ruan Xihao said.
The belt was hanging on Zhou Chengkang's clothes rack, and the forensic team had already come over to remove the dagger. The dagger was sharpened, and the nick on the blade was very obvious. He put a small piece on it, and the two pieces fit together perfectly.
