Chapter 679

Hai!

Chen Yongren's expression solemn, he stepped forward and accepted the order: "Please rest assured, General, the Special Investigation Unit will definitely get to the bottom of this case and give you an answer!"

Such a good opportunity to eliminate rivals and find someone to take the blame cannot be lightly missed; besides, it can also be used to shift the blame for the drink poisoning incident.

"The troops stationed in the warehouse are now under our control; for the time being, they are forbidden from contacting the outside world!" Gangcun Ningci said coldly.

Because there is currently no solid evidence that can prove these people are problematic, if mishandled it could easily cause a negative impact.

Therefore, Gangcun Ningci can only first minimize the impact as much as possible.

After a pause, Gangcun Ningci said again: "Chief Director Sir, this is no small matter; these guys, to stop your investigation, will surely do something even crazier!"

"For your safety, I will dispatch a small detachment to personally protect you."

Hai!

Having caused this trouble, Chen Yongren clearly knows he cannot refuse, or else he would only increase his own suspicion; "Chief Director understands, thank you for your trouble, General."

Gangcun Ningci said in a low voice: "Besides investigating who poisoned the drink, we also need to find out whether Village West Lord uncovered any useful clues, which is why they resorted to killing him."

"Hai!" Chen Yongren stepped forward again, turned and left.

Gangcun Ningci then looked at Anda ershisan and asked: "Anda sir, what do you think of this?"

"It's strange; if this is true, it can only mean one thing: internal army problems are more serious than we imagined." Anda ershisan said softly.

"A mere company commander definitely lacks the ability and courage to do this; he surely has one, or several, vested-interest groups behind him."

Gangcun Ningci nodded with a grim face; the logistical problems are more serious than he imagined, and these scoundrels must be rooted out before the sweep officially begins.

"Especially the death of Village West Gong..." Upon saying this, Anda ershisan wanted to speak but stopped.

"Just after they looked into his identity, he suddenly died—it's too coincidental."

"But Village West Gong's corpse lies right before them, so they cannot help but believe it."

Upon hearing this, Gangcun Ningci felt a surge of unnamed anger.

"He had hoped to use Village West Gong to trace up the network, but now it's all gone."

"Upon careful thought, this might also be a good thing." Gangcun Ningci consoled himself.

Anda ershisan exclaimed in surprise: "Village West Gong is dead—how could that be a good thing?"

Gangcun Ningci said: "At least for now, Village West Gong seems unrelated to those people; otherwise he wouldn't have died."

Compared to having a Red Party member emerge internally, Gangcun Ningci would rather have internal termites.

Because the natures of these two things are completely different.

Anda ershisan thought for a moment, then suddenly understood.

The Eighth Route would certainly have made preparations to avoid friendly fire incidents and would not stand by while such a blunder occurs.

"However, Commander Gangcun, since Village West Gong is already dead, why not tell Chief Director Sir that he was a Red Party agent?" Anda ershisan asked.

Gangcun Ningci irritably pinched the bridge of his nose: "Village West Gong is already dead; telling him now would be pointless."

"If we tell him now, it would only disturb his thinking; first let him focus on the case, finding the true culprit behind it is most important."

While the two Japanese were chatting back and forth, Chen Yongren also returned to the Special Investigation Unit and briefly recounted what had happened today.

After hearing Chen Yongren finish, the team members even thought they had a hearing problem.

"\"Chief Commander, what did you say? \" Zhongyuan Shen exclaimed in disbelief: \"Was the Village West chief assassinated? \""

Chen Yongren nodded with a grim face: "Exactly; if I hadn't been lucky, I might have already gone down with Village West Lord."

"\"These bastards are utterly reckless; don't they know what they're doing? \" Shichuan Zhongming felt only a chill of fear."

"\"They certainly know what they're doing. \" Anteong Zhongsi said coldly: \"Definitely the Chief Commander discovered something, which is why they resorted to killing him. \"

Saying this, Anteong Zhongsi looked at Chen Yongren and said earnestly: "Sir, this is too dangerous; you should leave this matter to us to handle."

Upon hearing this, the others all chimed in, saying they would take over the investigation for Chen Yongren and let him stay at the military headquarters.

"\"Bah, a bunch of idiots; as officers of Younger Brother Country, if you're scared over this and dare not show your faces, wouldn't you be letting that lot laugh at you? \" Chen Yongren looked at the people in the room and said: \"Besides, as your commander, how could I be timid and watch you walk into danger? \""

Upon hearing this, the team members all showed moved expressions.

Indeed, following the right commander is rare; leaders who truly care for their subordinates like Chief Commander Yuan are few.

"\"These bastards dare to poison an investigation officer; this is outright a challenge to the army's dignity! \" Chen Yongren said coldly: \"I will definitely catch that scoundrel with my own hands! \"

Chen Yongren glanced around the room and shouted: "Warriors, this case is no small matter; we must make full preparations—everyone go to the Equipment Section, draw a sidearm, and if danger arises, fire directly without filing any report!"

Hai!

Seeing Chen Yongren insist, the team members did not dare delay; they stepped forward to accept the order, first went to the Equipment Section to collect extra pistols, then took a vehicle to the military warehouse.

Because of Village West Gong's sudden death, the warehouse inside and out is under martial law, and Gangcun Ningci also dispatched two companies of troops to the warehouse.

One outside, one inside, monitoring the original warehouse garrison's movements 24 hours a day.

The troops stationed in the warehouse, seeing such a commotion, all felt personally endangered.

Seeing Chen Yongren return again, Yeshan Zijji quickly stepped forward: "Chief Commander, you've finally arrived; please believe me…"

But before he could finish, Zhongyuan Shen quickly stepped in front of Chen Yongren, the others also placed their hands on their waists, warily eyeing this person.

Upon learning that Village West Gong had been assassinated, the team members led by Zhongyuan Shen were also jumpy, eyeing anyone as if they wanted to assassinate Chief Commander Yuan.

If Yeshan Zijji dared to make any abnormal move, they would immediately shoot him full of holes.

「Lord Zhongyuan, don't be nervous, this is Yeshan Ziji, the officer stationed at the warehouse, not someone who wants to assassinate me. 」 Speaking of the latter half, Chen Yongren looked toward Yeshan Ziji

「Hai! 」 Zhongyuan Shen only then responded, carefully stepped back behind Chen Yongren

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, Yeshan Ziji's expression turned a little awkward

Speaking of which, he was also quite angry; it's just an inspection, after all; anyway, there's no problem; once it's checked, it'll be fine

But once Xigong dies, isn't this just like mud falling into one's pants — whether it's shit or not, it's still shit?

Do they really think that once a person dies, no one will investigate the case?

This is obviously not an attempt to blow things out of proportion

How could the military department possibly just let it go?

Ye Shan Zi Ji simply wanted to strangle this smart-ass to death.
