Chapter 1730 How Could This Happen?
However, the night before the concert, Chen Xu suddenly found Qin Yuan, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Qin Yuan, I regret it a little bit." He whispered, revealing a hint of confusion in his tone, "I don't know if I am doing the right thing. What if Ye Cunxin misunderstands?"
Qin Yuan looked at Chen Xu in front of him and understood his worries. He patted Chen Xu on the shoulder and comforted him: "Captain, since you have made a decision, you must face it bravely. Ye Cunxin is a smart girl, she will understand your intentions."
Chen Xu sighed and nodded: "You are right, I can't back down at this time. Thank you, Qin Yuan."
On the night of the concert, Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin sat side by side in the concert hall, surrounded by melodious piano music and audiences immersed in the music. Although both of them were a little nervous, as the music flowed, they gradually relaxed and began to enjoy this rare quiet time.
After the concert, Chen Xu mustered up the courage to express his thoughts to Ye Cunxin: "Ye Cunxin, I am very grateful that you came tonight. In fact, I have always admired you and hope to become a better friend with you."
Ye Cunxin looked at Chen Xu's serious face, and a warm current surged in her heart. She smiled and responded: "Captain Chen Xu, I am also very happy to listen to the concert with you. We can communicate more in the future."
As the night fell and the lights came on, Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin walked out of the door of the concert hall side by side, and both of them were filled with satisfaction and joy. The melody of the concert seemed to still echo in their ears, making them feel particularly comfortable.
"Today's concert is really good, what do you think?" Chen Xu spoke first and broke the silence.
Ye Cunxin nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, those classical music are really touching. Thank you for inviting me, I am very happy."
Chen Xu heard this and felt a burst of joy in his heart. He secretly glanced at Ye Cunxin, and seeing her smiling like a flower, he was more certain of his feelings for her. However, at this moment, a discordant voice broke the beautiful atmosphere.
"Hey, isn't this the beauty in our military camp? How come we meet here by chance?" A frivolous voice sounded in Ye Cunxin's ears, and then a sloppy little gangster in a flowered shirt appeared in their sight.
Ye Cunxin frowned, obviously displeased with the arrival of this uninvited guest. She subconsciously leaned towards Chen Xu for protection. Chen Xu also immediately noticed Ye Cunxin's nervousness. He straightened his back and blocked the gangster's sight with his body, trying to give Ye Cunxin a sense of security.
"What are you doing? We don't know you." Chen Xu spoke coldly, with a hint of warning in his tone.
The gangster was not afraid at all. He looked up and down at Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin, and a lewd smile appeared on his face: "Hey, don't be so polite. Beauty, you are so beautiful, how can you be with such a block of wood? Why don't you hang out with me? I promise to let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
As he said, the gangster actually reached out to pull Ye Cunxin's arm. Chen Xu was furious when he saw this. He grabbed the gangster's wrist and twisted it hard, causing the gangster to scream in pain.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The gangster struggled to break free from Chen Xu's restraints, but Chen Xu's strength was so great that he couldn't move at all.
"I warn you, don't make trouble." Chen Xu glared at the gangster and said in a cold tone. After that, he let go of his hand, and the gangster immediately ran away.
Ye Cunxin looked at Chen Xu's heroic figure, and a warm current surged in her heart. She looked at Chen Xu gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Chen Xu."
Chen Xu turned his head and looked at Ye Cunxin's gentle eyes, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared. He smiled slightly and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm here, I won't let you be bullied."
The two smiled at each other, as if there was a tacit understanding between each other. However, they did not expect that this episode was just the beginning of a series of troubles.
Although the gangster was driven away by Chen Xu, he did not give up. He held a grudge and decided to find an opportunity to retaliate against Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin. So, in the following days, the gangster gathered a group of accomplices and wandered around the military camp, looking for an opportunity to start.
And Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin also noticed something wrong. They found that no matter where they went, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them in secret. This made the two feel very uneasy, so they decided to be more vigilant just in case.
Finally one day, the gangster and his accomplices found an opportunity to start. That evening, Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin were walking near the military camp as usual, but were suddenly surrounded by a group of people. The leader was the gangster that Chen Xu had driven away that day. He was now full of viciousness and holding an iron rod in his hand.
"You are finally here." Chen Xu looked at the gangster coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "I knew you would not give up."
The gangster snorted and waved the iron rod in his hand: "Today is your death day! Dare to offend me, I will make you pay the price!"
As he said, he swung the iron rod and hit Chen Xu. Chen Xu dodged the blow easily, then quickly counterattacked and punched the gangster in the face. The gangster screamed and fell to the ground. Seeing this, his accomplices came forward to besiege Chen Xu.
However, Chen Xu was not afraid at all. With his extraordinary skills and keen insight, he shuttled freely among the crowd, and each time he attacked, he accurately hit the opponent's vital points. Soon, the gangster and his accomplices were beaten to pieces and fled in all directions.
Ye Cunxin looked at Chen Xu's heroic figure, and her heart was full of admiration and gratitude. She knew that if Chen Xu hadn't been around to protect her today, the consequences would be disastrous. She walked to Chen Xu and held his hand tightly: "Thank you, Chen Xu. You always show up when I need you most."
Chen Xu looked at Ye Cunxin's grateful eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He smiled slightly and held Ye Cunxin's hand back hard: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you."
The two people's eyes met, as if there was an invisible force passing between each other.
The next morning, the sound of soldiers' neat training was still ringing on the playground of the third company. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the harmonious atmosphere. Several officials from the Military Law Department looked serious and walked straight to the office of the third company commander.
Chen Xu was sorting documents in the office at this time. He looked up when he heard the noise outside, and his heart sank. He naturally knew the people from the Military Court, and their arrival often meant a lot of trouble.
"Captain Chen, please come with us." Among the officials of the Military Court, a leader spoke coldly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.
Chen Xu put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and tried to stay calm: "Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you? I am handling official business now."
"Official business?" The leading official sneered, "I'm afraid you have to put your official business aside for the time being. Did you beat up a gangster after the concert yesterday?"
Chen Xu's heart tightened when he heard this. He didn't expect that what happened yesterday would be heard by the Military Court so quickly. He nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, I did beat up a gangster yesterday because he harassed Ye Cunxin."
"Then do you know that the gangster died last night?" The leading official stared at Chen Xu's eyes with a sharp gaze.
Chen Xu was stunned when he heard this. He had never expected that his punch would cause such serious consequences. He shook his head, his tone full of disbelief: "Dead? How is that possible? I just punched him lightly."
"Just a light punch?" The leading officer snorted, "According to our understanding, your punch was not light. Moreover, the body of the deceased only has the scars of your punch. You are now our biggest suspect."
As he said, he waved his hand, and several officials behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded Chen Xu. Chen Xu knew that it would be futile for him to say anything now, and he could only cooperate with the investigation of the military court. He took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
When the soldiers of the third company saw this scene, they all stopped their training and whispered. They all knew that Captain Chen was a good man and usually took good care of everyone. Now seeing him being taken away by the military court, they were full of worry.
At this time, Ye Cunxin also learned the news. She hurried to the third company, but only saw the back of Chen Xu being taken away. Her heart tightened, and she immediately turned and ran to the Military Court.
In the Military Court, Chen Xu was placed in an interrogation room. The lights in the interrogation room were dim, and the air was filled with a repressive atmosphere. Chen Xu sat across the table, facing the leading official and a recorder.
"Name, age, position, say it again." The leading official spoke coldly and began the interrogation.
A correct version in 16191 book and 1 bar!
Although Chen Xu was dissatisfied, he still answered one by one as required. He knew that at this time, any non-cooperation might put himself in a deeper predicament.
However, as the interrogation deepened, Chen Xu gradually discovered that the Military Court seemed to have regarded him as a murderer. Their questions became more and more sharp, and their tone became more and more severe. Although Chen Xu tried his best to explain, the other party did not seem to believe his words.
At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open. Ye Cunxin hurried in, her face full of worry: "Chen Xu, are you okay?"
The leading official saw Ye Cunxin and frowned: "Who are you? We are interrogating here, no outsiders are allowed to enter."
Ye Cunxin was not afraid at all. She straightened her back and said loudly: "I am Ye Cunxin from the Women's Special Forces, and I am also one of the parties involved in yesterday's incident. I can prove that Chen Xu did not kill anyone."
The leading official heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that this seemingly weak woman would dare to stand up and speak for Chen Xu at this time. He waved his hand and signaled the recorder to stop recording first: "You said you can prove it? Then tell me, what happened yesterday?"
Ye Cunxin took a deep breath and began to recall the scene of yesterday. She described in detail the whole process of being harassed by the gangsters after the concert, Chen Xu's rescue, and the gangsters' escape. Finally, she looked at the leading official firmly: "I can say for sure that Chen Xu did not hit the gangster hard. There must be another reason for his death."
After listening to Ye Cunxin's narration, the leading official was silent for a moment. He looked at Chen Xu, then at Ye Cunxin, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes. He knew that this case was not simple, and the two people in front of him did not seem so easy to deal with.
"Okay, we will continue the investigation." The leading official finally spoke, his tone was still cold, but a little more relaxed, "Before the results of the investigation come out, Chen Xu, you can't leave the military court for the time being. Ye Cunxin, thank you for your cooperation."
After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled others to leave the interrogation room. Chen Xu and Ye Cunxin looked at each other, and saw determination and trust in each other's eyes. They knew that the next few days might be difficult, but as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome the difficulties.
When Qin Yuan learned that Chen Xu was taken away by the military court, he was sweating on the training ground. After a moment of daze, he quickly grabbed the towel next to him, wiped the sweat off his face, and frowned.
"How could this happen?" He said to himself, full of doubts and uneasiness. Qin Yuan and Chen Xu had a deep friendship, so he naturally didn't believe that Chen Xu would do something to kill people.
He quickly put on his clothes, strode out of the training ground, and went straight to the military court. Along the way, his mind kept echoing the conversation with Chen Xu after yesterday's concert, trying to find any possible clues from it.
Arriving at the Military Court, Qin Yuan did not hesitate and went directly to the official in charge of the case.
"I am Qin Yuan. I heard that Chen Xu was taken away by you. I want to know the details." Qin Yuan's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.
The official of the Military Court looked up at Qin Yuan, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that someone would stand up and speak for Chen Xu at this time.
"Qin Yuan? What are you doing here? This is the Military Court, not a place you can come to whenever you want." There was a hint of displeasure in the official's tone.
Qin Yuan did not flinch. He straightened his back and said loudly: "I know this is the Military Court, and I also know that you are investigating Chen Xu's case. But what I want to say is that Chen Xu is my friend, and I believe he can't kill anyone. I am willing to help investigate this case and find out the truth."
The official frowned when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect Qin Yuan to make such a request. He was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"You help investigate? Why do you think you can find the truth?" The official's tone was full of sarcasm.
Qin Yuan did not show any weakness. He looked directly into the official's eyes and said word by word: "Based on my understanding of Chen Xu, my familiarity with the military camp, and my heart for the truth. I believe that as long as I take action, I will definitely find the truth."
