Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Sudden Shooting Incident

He halted his steps, stood at attention, and saluted solemnly.

As he lowered his hand, a hot liquid swirled in the bottom of his eyes.

People called him the ’Cold-faced King of Hell,’ but whether he was truly cold, and how he treated his comrades and colleagues, these salutes spoke volumes.

Qin Jian continued forward, a car was already waiting for him at the headquarters’ entrance.

Suddenly, bang, bang, bang! A series of sounds shattered the silence of the night!

Qin Jian abruptly stopped.

At the same time, all the warriors assembled to see off Qin Jian heard the sounds and froze, their gazes turning toward the northwest.

All the warriors were unfamiliar with this sound!

It was gunfire!

Gunfire at three forty-five in the morning!

Qin Jian’s sharp intuition told him something was wrong! Almost without hesitation, he turned and rushed back to the administration building.

Meanwhile, the phone in Commander Lin’s room rang: "Commander Lin! There’s been an incident!"

"What was that gunfire about?" Commander Lin asked urgently.

"A sentry from the Third Battalion was shot with a hunting rifle! Two semi-automatic rifles were stolen!"

At the same time, the same situation occurred in the First Battalion!

"What? That’s outrageous!" Commander Lin slammed his fist on the table, "Assemble the troops, conduct a search within a fifty-kilometer radius! Quickly! We must capture the criminal!"

All the leaders of the forces had gathered in the commander’s office, each with a grave expression on their faces.

"These criminals are too audacious! They’ve even targeted the military!"

"Send out a reconnaissance company! If that’s not enough, get two tanks from the tank battalion and crush these troublemakers into a pulp! Damn it!"

"The military police forces will take over this case! I believe the Public Security Bureau will also send someone! Our group army cannot be involved in this matter."

Commander Lin, with his hands behind his back, turned and asked Yang Dahe, "Has the incident been reported to the Public Security Bureau?"

"Just reported it."

"How are our warriors doing?" Commander Lin continued.

"Six dead, four wounded! The armory and ammunition depot were separated, the incident happened so suddenly, so..."

Yang Dahe was speaking when the door was pushed open and Qin Jian appeared at the entrance of the commander’s office.

"Why have you come back?" Commander Lin was somewhat surprised.

"I heard the gunfire! It came from the northwest!" Qin Jian asked gravely, "What exactly happened?"

"Our sentry was shot and firearms were stolen!" Commander Lin said somberly, "The criminal gang has become this brazen!"

"What’s more important now is that the criminals have stolen firearms! With spring festival approaching, I fear the people across the country will not have peace of mind because of these firearms!" Qin Jian said.

"This is a major case, and a serious one! The Public Security Bureau will definitely investigate! Now, we wait for their outcome." Commander Lin said with a tight jaw.

The phone on the desk rang again, Qin Jian glanced down: "Commander, the Division Headquarters is calling!"

Commander Lin picked up the phone, listened to the instructions, and finally stood at attention, said "Yes," and then hung up the phone.

"The division commander is aware of the situation! He has asked us to cooperate fully!" Commander Lin said.

"So, what is your command now?" Qin Jian looked at him, waiting for his order.

"Chief of Staff Qin! I’m sorry! Although you are now with the Northern Military Region and are on leave, I must say you! Your leave ends early! I request you to stay, assist the police in their investigation, and exercise the right to apprehend the criminals!"
