Chapter 1067: The Organization Won't Forget Him!

"Teacher Wu, to ensure your safety, let's move today. The house was already prepared yesterday; we will help you move," Tang Ye said, striking while the iron was hot.

"I will listen to everything you say."

In truth, ever since Wu Li received the threatening package, she had been living in a state of constant fear.

She also had a daughter.

She was even more afraid of her daughter getting hurt.

Therefore, Wu Li had been in a state of inner conflict.

Tang Ye looked around the room and said decisively, "Most things over there are ready; the bedsheets and bedding are all arranged. You just need to take your valuables and daily necessities. As for the rest, you can move them bit by bit, like an ant moving house."

Wu Li's eyes turned red. "Alright, let me pack!"

Tang Ye walked around the living room.

Wu Li came out carrying a duffel bag.

Ma Ran hurried over, lifted it, and said in surprise, "It's quite heavy. Teacher Wu, let me take this bag."

Wu Li let go and explained, "It contains photo albums. Songtao loved photography, and these albums are the works he left behind before he passed. I can leave other things behind, but I must take these. They contain his heart's blood and memories."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossing his mind, and asked softly, "May I take a look at these albums?"

Put himself in another's shoes.

If he were Zhou Songtao, and if he had secrets in his heart, he would leave those secrets in the place he was most familiar with and most skilled at.

He liked photography.

Perhaps he could find clues through the photography.

Wu Li nodded and said, "You may!"

Having said that, she opened the duffel bag.

Tang Ye took out the top album and quickly flipped through a few pages.

Zhou Songtao's photography skills were indeed quite good; although he didn't know much about photography techniques, every photo gave people a sense of profound artistic conception.

Tang Ye picked out a few recent albums and found one place quite strange; there was a photo that felt abrupt and looked a bit awkward.

Of course, if it were an ordinary person, they certainly wouldn't see the problem within it.

On the contrary, Tang Ye's eyes were not ordinary eyes, and his powers of observation were more meticulous than a normal person's.

"Sister-in-law, may I take this photo out to have a look?"

"You may!" Wu Li looked at Tang Ye with curiosity.

Tang Ye took the photo out and rubbed the back of it with his finger. "Sister-in-law, is there a pencil in the house?"

Wu Li felt Tang Ye's reaction was a bit strange, but she still found a pencil.

Tang Ye rubbed the pencil lead over the back of the photo, coating it carefully.

After about a few minutes, the graphite powder covered the back of the photo, simultaneously causing hidden numbers and symbols to emerge.

Zheng Shaokang saw these numbers, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

From a criminal investigation perspective, seemingly illogical numbers and symbols were very likely to bring brand-new clues to solving the case.

Tang Ye kept the numbers in his mind, inserted the photo back into the album, and said to Wu Li, "Sister-in-law, I just wanted to see if I could find any clues; don't overthink it."

Wu Li shook her head and sighed, "It's fine, I understand your intentions. I have actually been organizing his belongings all along. I also hope he can tell me something. However, I have gained nothing."

Tang Ye comforted Wu Li, "Relying on yourself alone certainly won't work. County Magistrate Zheng is a criminal investigation expert; if you don't mind, hand his belongings over to us. Let's see if we can find relevant clues among them."

"I trust you all."

At this moment, Wu Li felt she could trust Tang Ye.

Relying on herself alone, she couldn't do anything at all.

However, Tang Ye was the Acting County Magistrate and had no connections to those local forces in Yechuan County.

Therefore, he was someone who could be trusted.

At this moment, there was movement outside the door, and a sweet-looking teenage girl walked in, carrying a schoolbag.

"Mom, what happened?" Zhou Zishan asked nervously, discovering the house in a mess.

"Zishan, these people are your father's colleagues: Uncle Tang, Uncle Zheng, and Uncle Ma. They came over to help us move," Wu Li hurriedly introduced them to her daughter.

A look of surprise appeared in Zhou Zishan's eyes. "Where are we moving to?"

Wu Li said patiently, "Moving to a safer place."

Zhou Zishan suddenly lost control of her emotions and said excitedly, "Can you please help my mom?"

Tang Ye was quite surprised to see this scene. "Don't cry; tell us what's wrong, and we will think of a way together."

Zhou Zishan choked with sobs, "Mom hasn't been to work for a long time."

Tang Ye's expression turned serious; he picked up his phone and dialed the number of the Director of the County Education Bureau, Zhao Yang.

"Director Zhao, this is Tang Ye!"

It took Zhao Yang a long time to react. "County Magistrate Tang, hello. May I ask what the matter is?"

Tang Ye said, "Although Comrade Zhou Songtao has passed, we still need to show concern for his wife and child. I heard that his wife was recently suspended by the school. You must intervene immediately and handle this."

Zhao Yang secretly thought that this woman, Wu Li, was truly a nuisance.

How did she manage to go and complain in front of Tang Ye?

Although Tang Ye had only just arrived, his recent actions were significant; quite a few cadres in the construction department had been dismissed due to the safety rectification campaign.

Zhao Yang hurriedly explained, "County Magistrate Tang, the Principal of the County No. 1 Middle School reported this matter to me. After County Magistrate Zhou passed away, her mental state wasn't right, and her teaching quality declined severely, leading to complaints and reports from students' parents. We also hoped to let her adjust her state."

Tang Ye knew that Wu Li being suspended was, in the final analysis, a case of everyone kicking a man when he is down.

He said in a serious tone, "Regarding Comrade Zhou Songtao, neither the province nor the city has reached a final conclusion yet. He is our comrade, and his body is not yet cold; everyone must absolutely not kick him while he is down. You must take immediate action regarding Comrade Wu Li's job."

Seeing Tang Ye's tone was so serious, Zhao Yang hurriedly promised, "I will instruct the County No. 1 Middle School later to have Comrade Wu Li return to her post immediately."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Ye said to Wu Li, "Teacher Wu, I have already communicated with them just now. You can go to the school to teach at any time."

Wu Li was so excited that she could not speak.

After Zhou Songtao died, she experienced the darkest moment of her life.

When Zhou Songtao was the County Magistrate, everyone at the school treated her with great respect.

She was attentive and dedicated in her work and toward her students.

However, after her husband passed away, those who had originally drawn close to her all avoided her as much as they could.

Especially after she began frequently petitioning, the school leadership found her many times, telling her not to pursue the matter further.

Now, the situation had taken a turn for the better.

The appearance of Tang Ye made her world instantly become bright.

Zhou Zishan could no longer control her emotions and said softly, "Thank you, Uncle Tang, thank you for helping us."

Tang Ye could feel the despair of the mother and daughter, and their sincerity at this moment.

He said in a grave tone, "In the future, if you have any matters, contact me at any time. Do not be afraid of any trouble. If I cannot resolve it, there are others to help you resolve it. Although Comrade Songtao has left us, the organization will not forget him; he still has a group of comrades."
