Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

As night fell,

"Woo-la, woo-la..."

Several police cars sped along the winding mountain road behind Tanzhe Temple, and a group of police officers immediately jumped out of the cars and surrounded the scene. Several police officers quickly cordoned off the area with yellow police ropes to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching.

As Xiao Zhan walked down the hillside, Shen Jun stepped forward and asked, "Instructor, Director Xia has notified the police, and Deputy Director Ling Xiao has arrived with his men and is currently investigating and clearing the scene."

"I told Zhang Jie and Wu Lei to go back first."

Xiao Zhan nodded and asked, "Did you find any clues when you checked those people?"

Shen Jun shook his head and said, "These people don't have any identification information on them, and even the information on their phones has been completely wiped clean, but it's certain that those guns are military weapons."

Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's a military weapon?"

Shen Jun said firmly, "Instructor, I'm sure that although the serial number on the gun has been worn off, the code on the bullet won't be easily erased."

Xiao Zhan was very familiar with the military's firearms management. Military bullets usually have serial numbers, which are used to identify the type, specifications, purpose, production batch, and other information of the ammunition. These numbers are an important basis for the military's logistics management, ammunition identification, and use.

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Send me the serial number on the bullet, and I'll have someone check it. Maybe we can trace the origin of these people by following the bullet's trail."

at this time,

Xiao Zhan had a bad feeling.

Liu Shiyuan had worked in the military for many years before transferring to the government. His influence in the military and the power of his protégés should not be underestimated. He likely had many of his pawns in the military.

In fact, this is also the key point that Xiao Zhan has been secretly implementing "Project Dragon Shield". However, many things need to be unraveled layer by layer to find the answer, which takes time. Also, since it has not yet involved the military, it has not been investigated.

Now that the military personnel have shown up, it's a good time to follow the clues and launch an investigation.

Shen Jun sent the bullet serial numbers he had photographed to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan immediately forwarded the message, then made a phone call and said, "Commander, please quickly find out the source of the bullets and which unit is using this type of bullet."

Xiao Zhan said a few words and then hung up the phone.

At this moment, Xia Keke walked over quickly.

Xiao Zhan asked, "Has Ishida Mako confessed everything?"

Xia Keke pouted and said, "Ishida Mako won't say anything, and I can't force her."

"What do we do now?"

"Are we just going to let her go like this?"

"After all, she's Deng Zhi's woman?"

"I'm afraid that if I stay too long, Deng Zhi will come looking for you."

"Beep beep beep".

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's phone rang.

Xiao Zhan saw that the incoming call was indeed from Deng Zhi.

He grinned and said, "Wow, no way! Speak of the devil, and he appears! It really is Deng Zhi calling."

Xia Keke: "They must be here to ask you for someone."

Xiao Zhan answered the phone and asked, "What's up, Brother Zhi?"

On the other end of the phone, Deng Zhi asked in a questioning tone, "Xiao Zhan, why haven't you let Ishida Mako leave yet?"

Xiao Zhan feigned surprise and said, "Ishida Mako has already been released, right? What happened, Zhi-ge? Didn't she come looking for you?"

On the other end of the phone, Deng Zhi said unhappily, "Xiao Zhan, I didn't expect even you to start lying to me. I kindly told you where Liu Chuanren was hiding, and you arrested Liu Chuanren, so why haven't you released Ishida Mako? I told you, you arrest your people, and I want my things. From the beginning, I told you that Ishida Mako was my undercover agent, so why have you been holding her captive?"

Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "How do you know I didn't release them? You weren't even there."

On the other end of the phone, Deng Zhi said in a mysterious tone, "Of course I know you didn't release him. Don't try to trick me, Xiao Zhan. If you break your promise, there won't be a next time."

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xia Keke beside him and said, "It's probably Director Xia asking questions. You know we're working together, so it's normal for her to want to know some things. I'll go check it out now. If they really haven't released them, I'll immediately have Ishida Mako come to you. Sorry, Zhi-ge."

"Xiao Zhan, you're getting more and more slick."

"Clatter."

Deng Zhi hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Xiao Zhan shrugged, holding his phone, and said with a wry smile, "Deng Zhi said I'm getting more and more slick. Director Xia, do you think I'm slick?"

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Hahaha, you're more than just greasy, you're practically lying through your teeth, you're almost a complete scoundrel."

Xiao Zhan immediately exclaimed awkwardly, "Hey, Director Xia, are you kidding me? You're the one who wanted to ask about Ishida Mako's situation, you're the one who detained her and wouldn't let her leave, and I was covering for you, yet you're saying such nasty things about me."

Shen Jun turned his head away, pursing his lips, not daring to laugh out loud…

Xia Keke laughed and said, "Jokes aside, Ishida Mako is unwilling to say anything. The only way she'll say anything is to ask her."

Xiao Zhan frowned and said, "Why do I have to ask?"

Xia Keke chuckled mischievously, "Hehehe, after all, you're the object of her sexual fantasies, so why don't you sacrifice your looks for once?"

Xiao Zhan was immediately exasperated and shouted, "Xia Keke, if you bring this up again, we're done. I'm a married man."

Xia Ke should know when to stop; even jokes should have limits.

So he said, "Alright, alright, I won't joke around next time. Go ask Mako Ishida now."

Xiao Zhan walked to a minivan and saw Ishida Mako sitting inside, with two state security personnel watching her.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said, "You two can go down."

"yes!"

The two Beijing Guoan players agreed and got out of the car.

Xiao Zhan cut to the chase: "Deng Zhi just called me and asked why I won't let you go, Ishida Mako. Let's be straightforward. I'll ask you two questions, and you can leave after you answer them."

With her beautiful eyes filled with affection, Mako Ishida looked at Xiao Zhan and said sweetly, "I will answer all your questions truthfully, but I have a small request."

Xiao Zhan: "What are your requirements?"

Mako Ishida said shyly, "Go on a date with me."

Xiao Zhan was immediately speechless and said in a deep voice, "I'm a decent person, I don't sell myself. You'd better give up your filthy thoughts."

Ishida Mako wasn't angry. She looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile and said, "Then I won't answer your question."

Xiao Zhan's face darkened as he said, "Then you're not leaving."

Then, pointing to the dark forests around him, he said, "I have dozens of ways to cause you an accident, and they will have nothing to do with me. Even if Deng Zhi comes to me, it won't make a difference."

Mako Ishida's expression changed slightly, but she still said, "Don't you really want a beauty like me?"

"I'm not sick. I'm great in bed. I can give you a feeling that's different from other women."

"Snapped!"

Xiao Zhan slapped Ishida Mako hard across her pretty face and said coldly, "You're being a jerk, so I'll do it!"

"Miss Mako, please have some self-respect!"

She paused for a moment, then added, "I know you have your own goals and principles, but I also have my own principles and bottom line. Not every man will be seduced by you."

"I'll ask you one last time. Answer my question, and then I'll let you go. Otherwise, I won't be responsible for anything that happens to you. If you end up dead in the wilderness, you can only blame your own incompetence."

Ishida Mako, covering her swollen cheek, laughed instead of being angry: "Hahaha, well done! This slap showed me a real man. Although I can't have you, I'm impressed by your righteous spirit. I'm willing to answer your questions."
