364: Chapter 363 Inquiry

The Military Affairs Management Office seems no different from the Military Affairs Management Bureau seen normally, but if you add the three words "Security Bureau" in front of this name, it becomes an entirely different agency.

A special service agency that sits above all military departments.

It is directly subordinate to the Discipline Committee of the Central Military Commission of China, has supervisory power over active-duty military personnel of other departments of the Military Commission and their subordinate troops, and can directly take measures against military personnel suspected of violating military rules and regulations and laws, acting first and reporting later.

If this doesn't help you understand the importance of the function of this Military Affairs Management Office, then there is another agency under the Security Bureau, which is called — Special Service Office.

A special service department that possesses legal killing credentials and is half a rank higher than any official encountered when performing tasks.

In necessary circumstances, the Special Service Office can even make a person disappear silently without any traces.

In addition, there is a well-known agency under the Security Bureau — the Defense Department.

The Military Affairs Management Office, the Special Service Office, and the Defense Department constitute all the functions of the Security Bureau.

Now, the person from the supervisory agency wants to see the captain?

The team members looked at each other, and a young soldier stepped forward and said: "This Chief, the captain is injured and needs to rest. If you have any business, please come back tomorrow."

The soldier glanced at him, ignored him, looked directly at the Hospital room door, bowed his head slightly, and pushed the door to enter.

On the Hospital bed, Zheng Yi had already heard the sound. Seeing the officer enter, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Senior Colonel Zheng."

The soldier saluted and said: "I apologize for coming late at night and disturbing your rest, but the situation is urgent, so I have no choice. Please forgive me."

"It's fine."

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "Urgent military affairs do not care about time. Speak, what is it?"

The soldier nodded slightly, closed the door, and went straight to Zheng Yi's bed.

"Senior Colonel Zheng, Director Duan heard that you were injured, so he entrusted me to come and see you and conduct a routine interrogation. Please cooperate."

"Hmm."

Zheng Yi nodded slightly.

The soldier relaxed a little, took a small notebook from his pocket, took a pen, and sat down beside Zheng Yi, his back straight.

"Senior Colonel Zheng, at 8:00 this morning, you reported to the Special Service Office that you discovered the traces of the suspect and requested a covert investigation. After receiving approval, you took the first and second teams of the Hanzhong City Special Service Brigade to go there. Is this situation true?"

"True."

Zheng Yi replied: "At that time, I discovered the whereabouts of the suspect I had been investigating for a long time. I suspected that they were hiding in Hanzhong City. After analyzing the specific location of the suspect combined with the clues, I led the team to investigate."

The soldier nodded, his pen writing and drawing, recording every word of Zheng Yi.

"Senior Colonel Zheng, did you and your team members carry a Weapon at that time?"

"Because it was a covert investigation, we changed into plain clothes and only carried pistols."

Zheng Yi said slowly: "But I have already ordered the other team members of the first and second teams to be fully armed and on standby 15 kilometers away, ready to support at any time if there is an emergency."

The soldier nodded slightly and continued: "Senior Colonel Zheng, according to general practice, the standby distance for support troops from the destination should not exceed ten kilometers. May I ask why you gave the order to stand by 15 kilometers away at that time?"

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "The target suspect comes from a very tricky secret organization. This organization's activities within China have no rules, and its members are hidden very deeply. We have never been able to accurately grasp their whereabouts. Once there is any action, they will flee in advance. Therefore, I suspect that they will monitor the surrounding environment. According to the terrain at that time, if we entered within 10 kilometers, it would be very easy to alert the suspect and there would be a risk of exposure. 15 kilometers is the best distance I calculated. Even if discovered, it can be disguised as a temporary drill."

The soldier's hand speed was very fast, and he quickly wrote down what Zheng Yi said.

"Senior Colonel Zheng, at 1:00 pm, you and your team exchanged fire with the other party in the target area. We want to know the detailed process."

This time, Zheng Yi pondered for a moment and said: "I have written a written report detailing the specific firefight process. You can check the content of the report."

The soldier was non-committal, did not pester, and asked: "When the firefight occurred, there were four team members with you, but only two followed you into the target building. May I ask if you anticipated the attack that was about to happen? Do you think you have the ability to deal with it with only two people?"

Zheng Yi frowned slightly: "The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to wait for support. Moreover, we captured a member of the organization at the scene, so we could only leave two people to guard, and I took two people into the target building to search for the suspect."

"So you had already anticipated that you would encounter an attack, right?"

The soldier looked up and asked: "You are very confident in your abilities and believe that you have the ability to deal with it with only two teammates, right?"

Zheng Yi stared at him and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Because of your confidence, one excellent team member was seriously injured."

The soldier said indifferently: "Regarding this, do you have anything to explain?"

"No."

Zheng Yi shook her head slightly: "The situation at that time was very urgent, and I have tried my best to save my comrade within my ability."

The soldier nodded slightly and continued: "According to the statement of the team members present at the time, when you entered the target building, there seemed to be an explosion in the basement of the building. Did you find out the cause after entering?"

"Found out."

Zheng Yi nodded indifferently: "It was a Drone that the city Police Station had just equipped recently."

"Drone?"

The soldier frowned for the first time: "Police Drone?"

Zheng Yi smiled slightly: "For specific details, you can go to Director Jiao of the city bureau to understand."

"We will."

The soldier relaxed his brows, looked at Zheng Yi and said: "Senior Colonel Zheng, according to our on-site observation, the place where the concentrated firefight occurred in the target building is located in the parking lot on the second basement floor. According to the inspection, 48 bullet marks, 11 ricochet marks, and 37 direct shooting marks were found at the scene. Among them, the pistols of you and the injured team member fired two magazines with a total of 18 bullets, and the remaining 19 bullets were fired by the other party. In addition to these, we also found 148 marks different from bullet impacts, which are almost impossible to identify. Can you explain?"

"Drone."

Zheng Yi said indifferently.

The soldier paused, then recorded it.

"Senior Colonel Zheng."

The soldier said: "According to the narrative of the injured team member, he fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss after being injured. After waking up, he found that he was already receiving treatment at the Hospital. It was you who rescued him. We want to know what happened during this period. Can you please explain in detail?"

Zheng Yi shook her head slightly: "The matter is very complicated, and I have already described it in detail in the report. You can go and check it."

The soldier looked up: "Senior Colonel Zheng, this is just a routine interrogation. Please cooperate."

Zheng Yi looked at him and said indifferently: "I have already cooperated very well."

The soldier's face froze, then he lowered his head and said expressionlessly: "Senior Colonel Zheng, after the firefight ended, you ordered the scene to be sealed off and forbade anyone from approaching, including the police who came to maintain order. May I ask the reason?"

Zheng Yi shook her head slightly: "This is confidential. Although you have the right to ask, according to regulations, I also have the right to refuse to answer confidential content above my authority."

The soldier's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not continue to pester this question, picked up his pen and wrote on the notebook, and continued to speak: "Senior Colonel Zheng, do you know the conditions for setting up a temporary military restricted zone? Do you think the situation at that time had reached this condition?"

Zheng Yi shook her head and said indifferently: "I refuse to answer this question. I said it is confidential. Please do not try to beat around the bush in this way. If you really want to know, let Duan Ningsheng come to ask me personally, or go directly to ask the Defense Department."

The soldier's face stiffened slightly, then relaxed, and said: "This is just a routine interrogation. Of course, you have the right to refuse to answer confidential questions."

"Last question."

The soldier adjusted his mood, looked up at Zheng Yi and said: "Senior Colonel Zheng, according to the feedback from surrounding residents and a taxi driver, a role-playing enthusiast appeared in the target area where you were, characterized by a black form-fitting armor and extremely fast movement. Have you seen him?"

Zheng Yi was slightly startled. She didn't expect these guys to find out about The Figure so quickly. She had underestimated this group of people.

However, a taxi driver? Who was that? Did he also see Wang Shuo?

Her mind raced, but her face was calm. Zheng Yi shook her head slightly and said indifferently: "I haven't seen such personnel appear."

"Okay."

The soldier closed the small notebook, stood up, and saluted again.

"I'm done asking. Thank you again for Senior Colonel Zheng's cooperation. You rest first, I won't disturb you."

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the Hospital room.

As the footsteps sounded, the Hospital room became completely quiet.

Zheng Yi picked up her phone, looked at the screen, finally chose a contact, edited a message, and just as she was about to click send, she stopped.

With a frown, she deleted the message, looked up and shouted: "Someone come here!"

A team member pushed the door and entered, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Captain, what are your orders?"

Zheng Yi said indifferently: "Go, go back to the base, and bring my zero egg to me."

The team member was stunned: "Bring the zero egg? Now? Captain."

"Immediately, right now!"
