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

"Hmph, they may run away, but they can't hide. Sooner or later I will personally catch them and bring them to justice."

"Let me see the sniper rifle."

Xiao Zhan said with a cold gaze.

Shen Jun handed a sniper rifle to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan reached out and took the sniper rifle, and a familiar feeling immediately washed over him.

He was very familiar with this type of domestically produced sniper rifle...

Xiao Zhan glanced at a code next to the sniper rifle's stock and sneered inwardly, "As expected, this is a rifle from the garrison area. We're getting a little closer to the target."

Those who don't understand it can't see the contents of the code on the gun, but those who really understand it can see the secret at a glance.

Xiao Zhan was very familiar with this code.

Because military identification codes are usually encoded using binary digits, they mainly consist of codes that distinguish military personnel and check codes used to verify the correctness of the code.

The code that distinguishes the unit's identity consists of multiple digits, the number of which is determined by the number of units being identified, and must be compiled and allocated in advance according to certain rules; the check code consists of 1 digit, the value of which is determined by the parity of the number of bits that are 1 in the code.

At this moment, Shen Jun whispered, "General Zhan, those two snipers who escaped must be soldiers. I'm very familiar with their tactics. Even if they weren't active duty soldiers, they must be retired soldiers."

Xiao Zhan nodded and tossed the sniper rifle to Shen Jun, then lowered his voice and said, "Shen Jun, keep this a secret for now. Take a picture of the serial numbers on these two rifles and send it to me."

Shen Jun took the gun and said, "Understood."

Xiao Zhan looked up at the scene.

At this moment, everyone present looked at Xiao Zhan, and many of them looked at him with fear in their eyes…

The scene took an immediate turn when Xiao Zhan appeared. Deputy Director Wang Dayong was shot in the head and killed on the spot by Xiao Zhan for attempting to ambush him.

Xiao Zhan's ruthless decisiveness left these people with lingering fear.

The other two uniformed men were killed by a long-range sniper shot...

Everyone present knew that this matter was difficult to handle; the situation was far too complex.

They were waiting for Xiao Zhan's next instructions.

Xiao Zhan looked at the temporary on-site commander and asked, "What's your name? What's your current position?"

The man shuddered and said loudly, "Report, my name is Fang Zhigang, and I am the deputy captain of the county criminal investigation team."

Xiao Zhan nodded, pointed to the two headless corpses on the ground, and asked, "Do you recognize these two uniformed men who were silenced?"

Fang Zhigang shook his head and said, "I don't know them. They're not from our county bureau."

At this moment, someone next to him whispered, "These two are You Changqing's bodyguards. You Changqing sent them to follow Wang Dayong specifically to deal with Ma Feng."

Xiao Zhan sneered, "It's utterly ironic that two private bodyguards are dressed in government uniforms and specifically targeting an active-duty soldier."

"You Changqing is really good at scheming."

"Captain Fang, I order you to immediately lead all police officers on site back. I will personally take charge of the situation here."

Fang Zhigang raised his hand in salute: "Yes, comrade investigator."

Fang Zhigang gave the other police officers at the scene the order: "Everyone, return to the county bureau immediately."

"yes!"

Actually, these police officers had wanted to leave for a long time. Deputy Director Wang Dayong was dead, and if they stayed here, they might accidentally get into trouble, which would be a loss for them.

Xiao Zhan then said, "Fang Zhigang, from now on, you will succeed Wang Dayong as deputy director. I will notify the relevant departments to issue the appointment notice shortly."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhigang paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Special Investigator."

Xiao Zhan watched Fang Zhigang leave with his men, then quickly walked over to Ma Youshan and Wu Xiuying and said, "Dad, Mom, you've suffered. I'm late. Don't worry, whoever demolished your house, I'll make them rebuild it exactly as it was."

Ma Youshan and Wu Xiuying, with tears streaming down their faces and choking back sobs, said, "Captain Xiao, it's enough that you came to see us. We've thought it through. The house is gone, so be it. The You family is too powerful. So many people died all at once. What a tragedy. The bad guys will be punished by God. There's bound to be a place for us old folks to live in this world."

Xiao Zhan said tearfully, "Dad, Mom, that won't do. What right does You Changqing have to forcibly demolish your house? According to relevant national policies, even if demolition is necessary, there must be corresponding compensation measures and standards. Moreover, forced demolition cannot be carried out without the consent of the homeowner. These are all clearly stipulated laws and regulations."

Ma Youshan wiped his cloudy eyes and said, "You Changqing's family is very powerful, and his three sons are all high-ranking officials. We can't afford to offend them, so let's just avoid them. Now You Changqing is falsely accusing Xiao Feng of being a murderer. Captain Xiao, you're very capable. Quickly take Xiao Feng away and run far away. We old folks are not afraid of death, and we are not afraid of You Changqing either. At worst, we'll fight You Changqing to the death with our two old lives."

Xiao Zhan: "Dad, Mom, Ma Feng and I came back to seek justice for you. You saw it just now, that deputy director violated party discipline and national laws, and I still killed him."

"You two can rest assured."

"Shen Jun, take the two elders to the car and make sure they are safe. Ma Feng and I will go find You Changqing."

Shen Jun: "It's General Zhan."

"Please come with me, sirs."

Ma Feng walked up to Xiao Zhan, pointed to the three corpses on the ground, and asked, "Brother Zhan, what should we do with these three corpses?"

Xiao Zhan: "No rush. This is called making an example of someone to scare the monkeys. Let You Changqing and his gang see how many lives they have to fight us."

Ma Feng asked worriedly, "Brother Zhan, this is a matter of life and death, won't it cause you any trouble?"

Xiao Zhan: "No, don't worry."

Ma Feng: "Brother Zhan, was that special investigator's badge you just showed me genuine?"

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hahaha, what's wrong, Ma Feng? You don't even believe me?"

Ma Feng smiled awkwardly: "Brother Zhan, I definitely believe you, it's just that you didn't say beforehand that you were unsure."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Hearing you say that makes me feel uneasy. Don't worry, my credentials are issued at the highest level, and they're guaranteed to be more genuine than pearls. The higher-ups specifically sent me to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feng's expression changed instantly. He said, "Such a small matter in my family has alarmed the higher-ups?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said truthfully, "Because it involves you and the family of a martyr. Also, I won't hide it from you. They're not after you or your parents. They're after me. I disrupted their plans and killed many of their people. They want to kill me, but they have no chance in Beijing. So they're using your family's demolition project to deliberately create trouble. Their goal is to lure me here and set a trap for me to fall into."

Xiao Zhan paused, then said guiltily, "I should say that I've dragged Mom and Dad into this."

Ma Feng was completely confused...

Little did he know that there were so many little-known secrets involved. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Brother Zhan, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Why would I lie to you?"

"We are on the same side, facing the same enemy. Your house demolition is just a starting point for them. Even You Changqing was used as a pawn, and You Changqing's three sons were ultimately their cannon fodder."

Ma Feng was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

This is a huge amount of information.

He asked, "Brother Zhan, who exactly are these people you're talking about?"
