Chapter 1410: Investigation

They had just finished eating when someone came looking: "Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, we've found out."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at Shen Kaiyuan, and the two of them led the men into the house.

Mo Ruhua, somewhat puzzled, asked, "They're avoiding us too?"

Liu Chuxue pulled her under the osmanthus tree, picked up a washed tomato as a post-meal fruit, and said, "They avoided Instructor Guo and came straight here; there's something wrong with that. Of course they have to be cautious."

At this, Mo Ruhua nodded and leaned close to Liu Chuxue's ear: "Do you think they've been used by enemy agents?"

Liu Chuxue didn't reply, offering only a faint smile.

After all, she had heard the conversation inside the room clearly; with her keen hearing, there was no way she couldn't. Someone reported: "The one who brought them into the family compound was Mi Cuifang, the wife of Company Commander Sun from the regiment."

We've made inquiries. Mi Cuifang's maiden family lives just across a river from the Chen family. A few days ago, the old Chen family specifically approached her. When Mi Cuifang returned to her maiden home, the stingy Chen matriarch even gave her a basket of eggs. They talked for quite a while before parting.

As for exactly what they said, since no one heard, we cannot know, but it must be related to today's events."

At this, another person spoke up: "From the Chen family's neighbors, we learned that a few days ago, people from the city visited the Chen family and brought them many good things. Given the Chen family's nature, they should have been boasting everywhere, but this time they acted very strangely; for the first time, the entire family has fallen completely silent."

After hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng said to the two men: "You two go back later, separate those people, have them ignored, and question them again first thing tomorrow morning."

After those two soldier comrades left, and after Fu Yan Cheng finished talking with Shen Kaiyuan, Shen Kaiyuan called Mo Ruhua to go home.

Seeing them leave, Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Isn't Zhuifeng's meal about ready to get cold? If we don't take it to him soon, that dog-post of yours will probably have to be moved again."

Hearing this, Zhuifeng barked at the perfect moment. Fu Yan Cheng laughed outright: "Wait, I'll take it to him right now."

Zhuifeng was truly very smart. The dog-post actually couldn't withstand his strength at all, but unless something unusual happened, he would just stay obediently tied there.

This was only discovered a few days ago. That day, some children were playing soccer outside. Somehow, the ball came flying straight at Liu Chuxue, who was standing in the yard. Just as she was preparing to dodge, Zhuifeng unexpectedly pulled hard, dragging the post tied to him straight at the flying ball.

When Fu Yan Cheng returned and learned of this, he praised Zhuifeng thoroughly.

That fellow, upon hearing this, seemed to have discovered a new world. The next day, when Fu Yan Cheng didn't deliver the food on time, Zhuifeng, in a fit of anger, dragged the dog-post with him and went off to find food himself.

After eating and drinking his fill, he returned to his territory, leaving the dog-post lying there brazenly. When the couple discovered it later, they felt like the clowns were actually themselves.

But during the day, to avoid people dropping by the house, if the dog wasn't tied up, and something happened, someone would surely come knocking. After all, he was the only one in the family compound raising a dog, and the scene when they first arrived was so dramatic; they had no choice but to keep the main door open and tie him up there as a show of compliance.

Who would have thought Zhuifeng was the one truly cooperating in the act.

Inside the red walls on the other side, someone was reporting to the commanders: "We have investigated. Those things indeed have no connection to Comrade Xiao Chuxue. She is merely a chosen mouthpiece."
