The captain of Li Family Village came in and immediately started showering Zuo Daya with praise. It was quite the performance. According to him, Zuo Daya was a hardworking, down-to-earth, and diligent commune member who never complained. She was proactive and progressive, a staunch supporter of national development who listened to the Party and followed its path—a model commune member who never asked for anything in return.
The old policeman could see what the captain was up to. He respectfully heard him out, then said with a cheerful smile, "The situation you've described is very important. It's a great help to our investigation. We were just having a good chat with the old lady, and we can also tell she's an honest person. But since someone has raised an issue, we have to investigate it thoroughly. That way, we won't end up wronging a good person, right?"
