A generation of soldiers begins with Feng Yuxiu traveling through time and space with Xu Sanduo

Chapter 529 Mr. Shu's Unnatural Death

"Sir, our captain asked you to take me there."

As Feng Yuxiu walked up to the military vehicle, a sergeant got out, saluted, and reported.

"No rush. I need your armed police detachment to cooperate, as well as the local public security bureau. I think someone has already told you to cooperate with me, right?"

The sergeant hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, I need to ask our battalion commander for instructions."

Feng Yuxiu did not nod. The sergeant went straight to the military vehicle, took out his phone, and began to ask for instructions.

Feng Yuxiu turned around and looked at the bustling station. He really liked the current situation.

This right to speak is what I earned after six years of hard work and dedication.

Unlike his previous life, where he appeared powerful and domineering but was actually chased around like a dog.

He has always been a vengeful person. Even though he became Mr. Tree before, he still hasn't forgotten the people who were picking on him all this time.

If I don't deal with these inner conflicts, I feel like there's a thorn in my side every time I go to sleep.

Unlike those weaklings who endure being bullied to their faces, only to become angrier and angrier as they go back, even having nightmares of sitting up in a fit of impotent rage.

He has only one principle in life: the world must never make him unhappy.

The scorpion incident was an example; now, there's still a small thorn in Wangdu Village waiting for him to deal with.

There's another thing: according to previous records, before he regained his memory, a tragic death seemed to have occurred in Wangdu Village.

The archives detailed the registered residence of those individuals, and a photograph of the person was found on one of them.

The photo shows him killing the woman and her men in a daze inside the submarine during the Battle of Crescent Island.

If the woman is right, the live photos from inside the submarine were downloaded by someone somewhere in the world.

That woman was the daughter of someone with a major mission, and he tore her to pieces alive.

They came looking for me to take revenge.

Furthermore, during their time in Wangdu Village, several strangers also entered Xia Rongshu Village.

They were all desperate criminals whose goal was to kill Xu Baishun's entire family.

"Looking back now, these bastards have come back to life. While I was being promoted in various military regions, they were unknowingly searching for me all over the world."

Feng Yuxiu narrowed his eyes. He had originally thought that the Polar Bear Company had been wiped out.

It now appears that the scorpion has many, many more accomplices.

As mentioned before, he never brings hatred into his dreams.

"Sir, our captain has dispatched armed police, and the local government has contacted the public security bureau to cooperate with your operation."

The person who can issue orders for major military missions directly across provinces is probably related to someone else.

They dared not be negligent.

-

Feng Yuxiu did not go directly to Wangdu Village, but instead stood on the mountain in Wangdu Village again.

He was followed by the forensic doctor and police officers.

"I want to know the detailed autopsy report from back then, as well as the results of your investigation."

The forensic doctor behind him stepped forward and said, "He died from blunt force trauma, and after falling from a height, his abdomen was pierced by a protruding tree branch. His cause of death is multifaceted."

Rumble.

Feng Yuxiu suddenly turned around, "Struck by a blunt object?"

"Yes, to be precise, some kind of iron tool, because I extracted residual iron filings from the deceased's brain, it should be some kind of hammer or something... directly hitting the back of the head."

Feng Yuxiu closed his eyes, trying his best to recall the scene from a year ago.

In his memory, he was standing below, while the trees stood on the hillside.

I could vaguely see the tree trunk leaning forward before plummeting straight down.

That was all he saw.

However, the autopsy report stated that he had been struck on the head with a blunt object before falling.

In other words... there was a third or more people present at that time.

It can make it out of one's sight...

Feng Yuxiu walked quickly up the hillside, then took a few steps forward.

The hillside was flat, so if someone had stood there and struck a tree with a hammer... you wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

"This is getting interesting..."

Feng Yuxiu walked down again, turned around and looked at the police, "Since it was an accident, what are the results of your investigation over the past few days?"

The police officer paused for a moment, then said, "There is no evidence, and the body was discovered too late, and it had been touched by multiple people... so we cannot pinpoint any leads."

"In other words, the clues have been destroyed, and there's really nothing we can do."

In this day and age, the destruction of such a crucial clue... can only result in an unsolved case. Furthermore, the time since the tree's death is too far removed, making a reinvestigation virtually impossible.

The tree had long been buried. By now, the body would have been nothing but bones.

"That makes things simple. Let's start with the person who first made the discovery."

Feng Yuxiu turned around and said, "Arrest and interrogate Xiao Zhuang from Wangdu Village first. I'll do it myself."

Feng Yuxiu increasingly felt that this village was not simple.

"Arresting people without any evidence..."

"He was the first person to find me unconscious, so there's a problem with asking him questions as usual? Did I say he was a suspect?"

The police were speechless after being confronted; how could this military region leader interfere in local affairs?

However, the bureau chief had ordered them to cooperate unconditionally, so they could only nod and go to arrest Xiao Zhuang.

It was autumn in the north at that time.

The sun was like an oven, scorching your skin.

Wangdu Village is nestled in a mountain valley. The dirt roads are full of potholes, and the wind blows up yellow sand.

The courtyard walls of every household were either made of adobe or fences.

Whether someone is cooking or arguing, the noise can be heard throughout half the village.

The village chiefs who originally planned to move into Sun City also returned.

After they went to Sun City, they had no means of survival. In those days, the only options were farming or working as farm laborers.

And living in the city means you need money for everything.

For a farmer who has to split a dollar into two, this is the countdown to the end of the world.

Wangdu Village has regained its former lively atmosphere.

Of course, there were a few wealthy families in the village who stayed behind.

However, I still occasionally come back to pay respects to my ancestors during the Lunar New Year.

After all, their ancestors are still buried on the mountain.

For farmers in the north, ancestral graves and ancestral worship are of utmost importance.

No matter how rich or where you are, you must return to the countryside when paying respects to your ancestors.

In the evening, under the old locust tree at the east end of the village, several old men squatted there smoking their pipes, their spittle flying in smoke rings.

"Have you heard? The village chief's son, Erzhu, has gotten another project approved in the city. He says he's going to do some kind of business."

"That's right, all the county leaders have been dismissed. I'm not saying this to be rude, but the Gao family's son has really guts to have caused so many deaths, but he didn't take the village chief away."

"That's enough already. The boss of Ruiyang Mining has been executed... It's better to stay in the countryside. After a few days in the city, life there was unbearable, like being in prison... Unlike now, when a few of us brothers finish our meals and sit under the trees at the village entrance chatting."

“I agree. Sitting anywhere in the city is uncomfortable; if I keep sitting, I’ll die young…”

After they finished speaking, they suddenly saw a group of police officers walking towards the village entrance.

The group of old men looked at each other, then stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Why has it taken so long? The police even came. Didn't they say the case was closed?"

"Stop arguing...nothing happened."

The police walked straight past, and the group of old men all lowered their heads and smoked their pipes.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after the police went inside.

But less than five minutes later, the police came out again, leading a terrified-looking Xiao Zhuang away.

"This is outrageous! The police are arresting people randomly... How can you arrest people like this... Is there anyone who can help us...?"

Xiao Zhuang's mother shouted from behind.

Immediately, the village roads were filled with onlookers.

"Back up! Back up!"

The police pointed at the nearby villagers and berated them.

"I told you before, he was just cooperating with our investigation; he's not a suspect. He'll be released after the investigation is complete. Do you understand now?"

Xiao Zhuang kept his head down and remained silent.

Xiao Zhuang's mother blocked the road, saying, "I don't care. What did my son do? What law did he break that you're taking him away? I don't care. Either you release him now, or you take me with you."

The team leader coldly rebuked, "A year ago, your villager Shu fell off a cliff. Now we suspect it was an accident, so we are reinvestigating."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuang trembled.

Even Xiao Zhuang's mother's expression turned abnormal. Now that no one could stop them, they could only let the police take Xiao Zhuang away.

The old men at the village entrance lost their appetite for smoking; they even seemed somewhat... afraid.
