In the car, Zhao Yueshan and Wen Xiuzhi sat side by side in the back seat. Minister Zhao Yueshan said politely: "Minister Wen, I will make a report to you on the incident of Shudu University last night." ”

Wen Xiuzhi said kindly: "Lao Zhao, don't talk about reporting, just let's breathe, you can say it!"

Wen Xiuzhi had already put on a very close attitude, but Zhao Yueshan still looked very serious, he took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it and read a few pages, and said in a deep voice: "Minister Wen, at four o'clock in the morning last night, after receiving an urgent order from the General Staff Department, our large military region immediately mobilized and quickly conveyed the order to the Jincheng garrison area. At 3:50 a.m., the Jincheng Garrison District completed its mobilization and ordered the troops closest to Shudu University, that is, the Police Tong Battalion directly under the garrison area, to immediately set off from the garrison and rush to the scene of Shudu University, and to meet with Xu Yan, Director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters, who was at the scene, and the commanders and fighters of the battalion began to accept the command of Director Xu and wait for the dispatch -- this was about 4:35 a.m.......

At this time, Wen Xiuzhi had already guessed that something very bad had happened. Because Zhao Yueshan reported in too much detail, he even pointed out the time when the troops in the garrison area were dispatched, and his tone gave people a feeling: You see, we didn't do anything wrong, and the reason why things came to that was not our fault -- that's right, in the official document process, after an accident, everyone always described their actions as clearly as possible to reduce responsibility.

What the hell is going on?

Wen Xiuzhi simply interrupted Zhao Yueshan: "Old Zhao, I know all this." This morning, before I got on the plane. I also had a phone call with Director Xu at the scene, and the situation at the scene was fine at that time. Lao Zhao. Is something wrong?"

Zhao Yueshan nodded, and he said heavily: "Minister Wen." You're right, something did happen on the spot...... We can't even imagine it. ”

"Oh, tell me, what's going on?"

"Minister Wen, I will briefly report - it was about five o'clock this morning, it should be not long after you boarded the plane, Minister of Culture, near the scene of the monster corpse at Shudu University, there was a murder case: Zhang Nan, the platoon commander of the second company of the police battalion, suddenly fired at the commander at the scene with his pistol, that is, Comrade Xu Yan, director of the Intelligence Department, and fired six shots in total......."

"What!" Wen Xiuzhi Huo Ran changed color. He sat up straight abruptly and looked at the other party in shock: "The platoon commander of the police battalion shot at Xu Yan?Xu Yan, how is he himself? He is not injured? He ......" Wen Xiuzhi's face turned pale, his heart pounded, and he waited nervously for Zhao Yueshan's answer.

Zhao Yueshan shook his head: "It's finally a great luck in misfortune, this shooting was stopped by a police officer who was with Director Xu at the time, this police officer is called Huang Shan, and he is the head of the criminal police detachment of the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau." But unfortunately, when it came time to stop the murderer from shooting. Officer Huang was shot six times in a row and died on the spot. ”

The name "Yellow Mountain", Wen Xiuzhi still has an impression, and remembers that Xu Yan mentioned this person to himself. said that he was his friend, and he had to let himself greet Zhao Sen to help him find an official position. But now, Wen Xiuzhi's full energy has been focused on Xu Yan's shooting. He couldn't care about the "Huangshan" he had never met at all, and he asked repeatedly: "What happened to Xu Yan? Was he hit? He wasn't hurt, right?"

"Minister of Literature. Rest assured, we have the exact news: Director Xu is safe and sound. ”

Wen Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he came back to his senses, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, but his tone was still light: "Director Xu is fine." Did Minister Zhao, the platoon commander named Zhang Nan, catch him? Why did he shoot at the head of the investigation team sent by the General Staff Headquarters? Is there anyone behind the scenes?"

When the two of them were alone before, Wen Xiuzhi had always affectionately called Zhao Yueshan "Old Zhao", but now, he has changed back to the official title of "Minister Zhao", and Zhao Yueshan naturally understands that this is Wen Xiuzhi implicitly expressing his anger and dissatisfaction -- my subordinates were sent down, and they were actually shot by the people of your military region? This matter is not so easy to end!

Zhao Yueshan smiled bitterly: Of course he knew Wen Xiuzhi's identity, and he also knew Wen Xiuzhi's temper. It can be regarded as unlucky, on such an errand, you have to negotiate with Wen Xiuzhi on behalf of the military region. If you anger this uncle and make him angry with himself, it will be very unworthy.

Zhao Yueshan said very sincerely: "Minister Wen, after receiving the report, our military region is also shocked. The soldiers shot at the superior commander and killed the local police officer, normally speaking, if such an incident occurs, the nature must be very serious, the platoon commander who killed the person will definitely be shot, and our military region will inevitably have a share of management responsibility-"

Wen Xiuzhi drooped his eyelids, sneered in his heart, thinking that Zhao Yueshan's fluttering sentence "You can't avoid management responsibility" is even if you apologize to yourself on behalf of the military region?

The PLA troops are highly disciplined, and the attempted murder of the head of the central investigation group and the killing of a local policeman by a grassroots officer is also a homicide case in such a sensitive matter, and both the nature and the consequences are extremely serious and vile in nature, and according to discipline, they will certainly be strictly investigated, and the squad leader who fired the shot will definitely be dead, and from top to bottom, a large number of people will certainly be involved, and the commander and political commissar of the garrison area will definitely be dismissed. No wonder Director Zhang of the Political Department of the Grand Military Region hurriedly came to see him just now, and it is estimated that he also means to make amends.

Wen Xiuzhi sneered: However, Xu Yan is my confidant and favorite general, you want me to let you pass the test so easily? That's also a dream!

Wen Xiuzhi said lightly: "Minister Zhao, if this matter is to be investigated and held accountable, it is a matter for the political department, and it has nothing to do with our intelligence department." However, I suggest that you better thoroughly investigate the cause of the murderer's shooting, and don't just kill the murderer and leave it alone - this is something that our intelligence department will follow. ”

Wen Xiuzhi thought that he had guessed Zhao Yueshan's intentions, so he preemptively expressed his position, blocking the other party's mouth, and saving the other party from pleading.

Zhao Yueshan smiled awkwardly: "...... Well, Minister Wen, I'm sorry, but I'm not done yet. ”

"It's not over yet?" Wen Xiuzhi was also stunned for a moment: "It's not that Xu Yan was shot." Has the murderer been caught, has there been anything else?"

Zhao Yueshan smiled bitterly: "There really is!"

As he spoke, he glanced down at his notebook. He said in a deep voice: "About 50 minutes after Director Xu was shot, it was about 6 o'clock in the morning this morning. The murderer this time was a non-commissioned officer named Mo Ning of the third squad of the second platoon of the first company of our garrison battalion, who came to the scene near the leaders who were holding a meeting, and from 30 meters away, he suddenly fired at the leaders present with an automatic rifle, killing three people and injuring two on the spot, among whom Zhao Sen, secretary of the Jincheng City Political and Legal Committee, was shot in the shoulder and was seriously injured; Qi Hua, director of the Jincheng City Comprehensive Management Office, and two cadres of the Jincheng City Political and Legal Committee were killed on the spot...... Comrade Deng Bonan, director of the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau, was also at the scene, but he reacted quickly. Quickly lay down and rolled to dodge, and escaped this catastrophe......"

Wen Xiuzhi's eyes widened, his face was full of shock, and he said in shock: "What?! Minister Zhao, you...... You're not kidding, are you? Another one? Zhao Sen was injured? Is this news, are you sure?"

Zhao Yueshan nodded heavily: "When the news came, we couldn't believe it, I asked repeatedly and confirmed, and the news was indeed true." ”

"The murderer who shot him. Did you catch it in the end? What the hell is going on?"

Minister Zhao shook his head: "How can you arrest this? He was holding an automatic rifle at the time, who would dare to go up? In the end, the murderer was shot dead by the police on the spot. Failed to capture alive. ”

Wen Xiuzhi let out an "oh", and he muttered: "It's dead? That's troublesome! Injured a department-level cadre, Shuchuan Province and Jincheng City have a lot to do with your military region......

Minister Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Wen." But that's not all...... Then another half an hour passed, and something happened again!"

Wen Xiuzhi blurted out: "Ah." Or is something wrong with the people in our troops?"

"Yes, this time it's a non-commissioned officer with the surname Tan. It was about 6:30 a.m. He suddenly opened fire with an automatic rifle at the officers who were resting in the police car, resulting in the death of two policemen and the wounding of four others......"

After saying this, Zhao Yueshan took a deep breath, and his face turned a little blue. He looked at Wen Xiuzhi and said in a low voice, "Minister Wen, that's probably how things are. I've been in the army for decades, and I've never seen anything like this! Three shootings in a row overnight! I can't imagine at all! Is the police battalion trying to rebel?"

Wen Xiuzhi shook his head, and suddenly heard such shocking news, his face was also pale, and his mind was chaotic, and he subconsciously whispered: "That police battalion...... This unit is no longer reliable! Withdraw them immediately! The battalion commander and instructors must be examined!"

"This has already been done: two hours ago, the police battalion had been withdrawn...... The Jincheng Armed Police Detachment was replaced to protect the scene. The Political Department has already taken control of the battalion commander Zhao Quanyang and instructor Lu Ning. ”

"Who's in charge of the scene?"

"After Secretary Zhao was injured, Deng Bonan, who is now the director of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau, ......"

"Director Deng, he is a local person, do any leaders from our army go to the scene?"

"No--after hearing about the shooting incident of Director Xu, Director Zhang originally wanted to go over to offer condolences, but when the car was halfway through, the news of the second and third shootings came, and Director Zhang immediately stopped the car and turned to the airport to pick you up......

Wen Xiuzhi frowned slightly-Zhao Yueshan was secretly giving Zhang Quan eye medicine.

Why Director Zhang Quan turned around halfway, Wen Xiuzhi can also guess. It was just a shooting case before, and a criminal police captain died, although this matter was very bad, it was still within the scope of Zhang Quan's handling, so he came to condolence and sat at the scene. But then, even Zhao Sen, secretary of the Jincheng City Political and Legal Committee, was shot, and now, the matter was a big deal, and such a shocking event was no longer something that Zhang Quan could handle - moreover, there were continuous accidents at the scene, this kind of thing was too weird, and any leader who was a little vigilant would not be willing to go to the scene to fill in the hole.

Wen Xiuzhi's thick eyebrows were deep, and he asked, "Several shootings, is there a conclusion of the investigation?"

Zhao Yueshan shook his head: "At present, no conclusion has been reached - it should be said that the investigation has not yet begun." Because the scene was too chaotic. Without the presence of leaders who can make decisions, no one knows what to do. ”

"Such a big deal...... What about the leadership of the military district?"

"The leader has other things to do. Zhao Yueshan said lightly: "At this time, who dares to go over? ”

Listening to his acquaintance, Wen Xiuzhi immediately understood the implication of Zhao Yueshan's words -- the soldiers shot at the local policemen and leaders, and such a horrific incident would have only happened once, but this kind of shooting incident had occurred three times in a row, and this could not but make people wonder if there was someone planning something behind it? Three shootings in a row, the shooting of the head of the central investigation team, and the shooting of the secretary of the political and legal committee -- this is simply hysterical madness, who is making trouble, and who is targeting? What's going on here?

The leaders are thoughtful, and it is impossible for them to rashly intervene in such a dangerous situation before they figure out what is going on. Therefore, because of this, after Zhang Quan, director of the Political Department, heard that Zhao Sen was shot, he immediately changed his mind, did not go to the scene, and went to the airport to pick up Wen Xiuzhi instead.

Wen Xiuzhi's mind was sharp, he thought about it a little, and immediately understood the intentions of the bigwigs in the military region. He said lightly: "Lao Zhao, you are not kind, but you dug a pit for me to jump! You should know that I came down this time to investigate the monster incident at Shudu University." When it comes to the gun case, since only one battalion was dispatched, several murderers should be below the battalion level, right? Even if the battalion commander and instructor are involved, they are only a battalion-level cadre, and this should be investigated by the security department of the military region. ”

Zhao Yueshan was a little embarrassed, he coughed dryly: "Minister Wen, the nature of this incident is too serious, and it is not something that the Security Department of the Military Region can bear." Therefore, we urgently ask the investigation team of the General Staff to intervene to support us and help us find out the truth of the case. ”

Wen Xiuzhi said lightly: "It's not that you can't find out, you don't dare to check!"

Zhao Yueshan smiled bitterly, and he said helplessly: "Minister Wen, you are a clear-sighted person, and I will assure you with the party spirit that my old Zhao is innocent and has nothing to do with this matter!

Wen Xiuzhi still shook his head: "Our investigation team is only responsible for the investigation of the F virus, but the criminal cases of military crimes should be handled by the security department...... It is not under the control of our intelligence department. ”
