The guests downstairs had been sitting for a long time, but the tea in the cups at the table hadn't moved at all. Although he was wearing a hooded uniform, I could tell from the way he was sitting that he came from the military police.
I sat across from him and nodded slightly. "Sorry to be late."
"Xia ~ No ~ Fourth Boss, hello." The man seemed a little nervous, halting, and slightly accented.
I smiled. "Friend, can you take off your hat first?" It's not really a rule, it's just that it feels weird all the time. "
He obediently moved his hat to the back of his head, revealing a young face. He had half an inch of short hair and looked quite energetic. I had an idea, so I took out a cigarette and put it in my mouth. As I lit the cigarette, I mumbled, "Which unit?"
The man blurted out, "47 ~ ~ Ah ~ No, how did you know I was in the army?"
I smiled at him. "Alright, little brother. Your sitting posture and hairstyle have already been exposed. Don't hide it anymore. The more you hide, the more I can't help you." Speak, who told you to come? "
The young lad was called Zhao Zhibing and was really from a military background. However, he was part of the garrison, and his unit was responsible for the garrison of a military goods warehouse in the mountains located at the outskirts of the city. The problem this time was the old dugout that had been renovated into a warehouse.
The military warehouse was different from the military warehouse, as it was strictly guarded. However, it was a two-door, two-post building. Usually, the rows of the third class, the sixth guard were arranged in a way that everyone was used to. Although it was a garrison force, Company Leader Xiong Lusheng did not slack in his daily training. If there was nothing to do, he would organize these lads to use all their equipment to fight in the wilderness. However, this group of lads didn't complain at all. It was better to learn some skills after training their bodies than to walk around in a cave every day.
Zhao Zhibing is now a volunteer, and a monitor of the first class of the second platoon." He really loved to be a soldier. Normally, he looked like he was a reserved person, but once he put on his military uniform and took out his gun, it was as if he had become a completely different person. Just from this point, he and Xiong Lusheng had a perfect match. Xiong Lusheng often advised Zhao Zhibing to take advantage of his youth to take part in the military exam and turn into an officer as soon as possible.
The day of the accident was the night one month ago. Zhao Zhibing's class was on the night watch, and according to them, it was just walking. Just as he finished setting up camp in his inner circle, he saw Deputy Company Commander Zhao Hai and his commissar Chen Si Zhe. At that time, Zhao Zhibing was a little curious in his heart. These two people usually did not pay very much, and would not easily check the posts together. However, he could not ask too much about the Leader's matters. After greeting him, he headed towards the inner area while Zhao Hai and Chen Si Zhe continued to talk as they headed deeper into the dugout.
After about 20 minutes, Zhao Zhibing completed his patrol and just as he walked to the entrance of the inner four storehouses, he suddenly heard a few deep sounds coming from there. With his many years of experience as a soldier, he could immediately determine that it was most likely a gunshot! Zhao Zhibing did not dare to move recklessly, he ordered a new recruit to stand guard at the door. He used the walkie-talkie to call for the duty room softly, then brought another new recruit with him to the inner 4 storage room.
After walking for a few minutes, there were a few more bangs from the deepest part of the cave. This time, Zhao Zhibing confirmed that it was a gunshot! He no longer cared about hiding, leading his men and rushing in. After passing by a few small warehouses, Zhao Zhibing saw the corpse of the commissar Chen Si Zhe at the entrance of the innermost one.
Chen Si Zhe laid on his back on the ground with his eyes wide open. His mouth was nearly torn open to the ear, and his chest was a mess of flesh and blood. His right hand with the gun was broken at the wrist, leaving only a layer of flesh on his arm. His left leg was twisted at an odd angle and his knee should have been broken.
Zhao Zhibing didn't care about being disgusted at all, and carefully took out his spear to patrol his surroundings. He didn't see Deputy Company Commander Zhao Hai's figure, but he was shocked to discover that the lock of the door to the small warehouse wasn't coming anymore. The door to the warehouse was ajar, revealing a narrow gap.
This time, Zhao Zhibing did not rush in. The two of them guarded Chen Si Zhe's corpse together and held the door of the small warehouse at the same time.
After around ten minutes, company commander Xiong Lusheng rushed over with a row of people. After bringing Chen Si Zhe's corpse to the infirmary, the thirty odd people had flipped through the entire warehouse aside from the small one, not even finding a single hair on Zhao Hai's head. Everyone gathered at the place where Chen Si Zhe's corpse was, and waited for Xiong Lusheng's order. Xiong Lusheng seemed to be hesitant to search the little warehouse. After thinking for a while, he ordered Zhao Zhibing to seal the warehouse door and send people to guard it. He then hurriedly walked out to report to his superiors.
The next day, Chen Sizhe's autopsy report came out, but no one in the company saw it, because the superior had sent a special team to take charge of everything. Not only did they not see the autopsy report, but even the four warehouses inside had stopped letting them patrol the area. They had also taken all of the cellphones and communication equipment. Although Xiong Lusheng had reignited his enthusiasm for training, these four sports fields the size of basketball courts didn't have any tricks to play. The soldiers more or less all knew of the situation and whispered to each other, causing the company's discipline to be in chaos.
Zhao Zhibing did not care about all these, as the first officer to witness the corpse, he was recruited by the special team, and the so-called conscription only brought them to the scene time and time again, constantly repeating what he had seen that day to different people. It was only on the third day after the incident that Zhao Zhibing could finally be considered relieved, because the special task force was finally going to take action.
The special team had a total of ten people. Other than two medical personnel and one technical staff, the other seven and twenty people that Xiong Lusheng had transferred from the row entered the small warehouse located in the deepest part of the inner four warehouses.
At first, Zhao Zhibing and the others thought that it was a small matter. One of the four warehouses was only about 10,000 square meters, the small warehouse inside was only about 300-500 square meters, was there a need to let these people in? But after his blabbering, Zhao Zhibing realized that there was not a single person in the company who had entered the small warehouse within the inner four warehouses. No one could say how big it was, or what was stored inside, and even the account book only had the words "Military Supplies" written on it. As a result, a faint uneasiness started to spread among his comrades. Furthermore, it was not only one person who noticed that the face of their leader, Xiong Lusheng, was also not good. It could even be said that he was depressed and dejected.
48 hours later, Company Commander Xiong Lusheng once again dialed the number of the upper echelons. There were no messages from the 27 people in his team.
This time, the leader didn't send any other special forces, but gave Xiong Lusheng a phone number instead. Only after Xiong Lusheng called him did he know that the other party was a Bureau Chief with the surname Duan. After Chief Duan roughly understood the situation, he had Xiong Lusheng send someone over to move the troops, which was why Zhao Zhibing came to find him.
I waited for Zhao Zhibing to finish drinking the cold tea and refill his cup before asking him, "I don't really understand the troop composition, but is it a bit of a waste to send a company to guard a military goods warehouse?"
Zhao Zhibing stared blankly for a moment, then said hesitantly, "This … is a little. "Besides the armory, most of them are for the guard platoon. It's possible that our place is a bit big ~ ~ ~"
I nodded. "Okay, I understand. Since it was the soldiers from the people looking for me and Director Duan was the one who introduced me, then I must make a trip no matter what. "You rest first. We'll set off at dawn."
After sending Bao Mu to take Zhao Zhibing to rest, I looked at my watch. It was already 3 in the morning, I took out my phone and dialed a number.
"Fourth Boss, why are you calling me at such a late hour?"
"Director Duan, since you've already helped me take over my business, I can't help but express my gratitude."
"Oh, oh ~ ~ I forgot to greet you in advance. Sorry, sorry."
"Come on, the military has a family. We should help out. But I have a little trouble to deal with, so I'll have to ask you to do me a favor. "
