Three-Open Coffin

Cadre corruption in Laolongtan Township, Hetan County has led to economic regression. Dong Butong, secretary of the party committee, relied on his uncle to be the deputy governor. He had a corrupt lifestyle and engaged in massive corruption and bribery. The cadres of Longtang Village also embezzled the school building funds allocated by their superiors and collected by the villagers. They bribed Dong Butong and used the underworld to intimidate the masses. The masses dared to be angry but dared not speak out. Wu Gang, a veteran, discovered this problem after returning to his hometown. He was very angry and secretly obtained evidence and wanted to report it to the village cadres. The village chief first treated him with courtesy and then invited him to a banquet. During the banquet, he was threatened and lured, but Wu Gang finally refused to give in. The camp commander of the villagers resorted to wine and used force to subdue Wu Gang, but unexpectedly killed Wu Gang. Dong Butong and his accomplices were afraid that the problems in Longtang Village would be exposed and they would be implicated, so they tried every means to cover up the situation and bribed the chief doctor of the hospital to sign the death certificate of Wu Gang who died of a heart attack. Wu Gang's father, Wu Laogeng, was dissatisfied and refused to allow the funeral. People started talking a lot. In order to cover up the public, Dong Butong arranged for people to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. The result was still that he died of a heart attack. Wu Laogeng became even more angry and went to the county to file a complaint. A second post-mortem examination was conducted, and the results maintained the original conclusion. Wu Laogeng was still dissatisfied and continued to complain. For a while, Wu Gang's case caused a stir in Hetan County. Dong Butong was confident and unreasonable, and Wu Laogeng suffered a lot. In order to gain political capital, Dong Butong deceived his superiors by deceiving his work. The old county party secretary was about to retire and did not want to offend the vice governor's relatives, so he turned a blind eye. As a result, Laolongtan Township was rated as an advanced unit by the county every year. Other township leaders were indignant. After the Wu Gang case, the negative discussion against Dong Butong became even more intense. The old county party secretary knew that Dong Butong's corruption was closely related to the deputy governor and that Wu Gang's case was a hot potato, so he focused on dragging him down. The case of Wu Gang being beaten to death has not been resolved for two years. Wu Laogeng firmly believed that with the wise leadership of the party, the corruption of Laolongtan Township cadres would be seriously punished and his son's injustice would be vindicated. He kept complaining in the past two years. The old county party secretary retired. After taking office, the new county party secretary Miao Tianyu encountered Wu Laogeng who stopped his car and complained. Miao Tianyu was shocked and determined to punish corruption and give justice to the people. He investigated the case in detail and learned that the problems in Laolongtan Township had seriously affected the prestige of the party and the government and the enthusiasm of the people, and had a very bad impact on the economic development of the county. He was even more sad. But the corrupt elements are so intricate that it makes him very troubled. Dong Butong was promoted to deputy county magistrate under the "care" of the deputy governor. Miao Tianyu decisively sent strong cadres to take over Dong Butong's position. Wang Yiming, the retired director of the Investigation Division of the Provincial Public Security Department, stayed at Wu Lao Geng's house when he was stationed in the countryside. He developed a deep relationship with Wu Lao Geng. He attached great importance to Wu Gang's case and retired tirelessly, eliminating all kinds of interference and pressure to help Miao Tianyu clarify the case. He skillfully collected evidence despite many difficulties and opened Wu Gang's autopsy for the third time with the support of leaders at the county and township levels. With all kinds of evidence available, the criminals in Longtang Village were brought to justice. This opened a gap in the corruption case of Dong Butong and others. Leaders at the county and township levels cooperated with the public security department to find out the corruption facts of Dong Butong and others. Corrupt elements at all levels and the underworld forces that colluded with them were wiped out. The plots are interlocking, thrilling, twists and turns, and touching, composing an ode to anti-corruption and upholding integrity.
