Very similar plot: the main character is given a worthless promotion and sent to a remote village because his colleagues want him out of the way. His predecessor apparently had a breakdown and / or died mysteriously. The village is eccentric and seemingly peaceful, and the main character's new work colleagues lazy and incompetent. He struggles to motivate them and perform his duties, but is driven to the point of leaving, until it becomes clear that the village really conceals a criminal conspiracy, whereupon he and his colleagues save the day.
