The two military judges left after they finished speaking.
When Shen Liwu came out of the interrogation room, Zhou Yanjing just came out. Zhou Yanjing came over, held her slightly cold hand, and frowned:
"Why are your hands so cold? Did they interrogate you? Did they ask you to confess anything?"
Shen Liwu shook his head: "No. They just asked some questions about Shen Jiajia and the poison, and didn't force me. We didn't make any mistakes, so there is no need to bear the blame."
Zhou Yanjing was silent for a moment, "I will get to the bottom of this matter."
Shen Liwu smiled and said, “No, don’t worry.”
"Yeah." Zhou Yanjing took Shen Liwu's hand and walked towards the family compound.
…
The next day Zhou Yanjing came to the chief's office and knocked on the door. He stood at the door and howled:
"Report!"
"Come in."
Zhou Yanjing pushed the door open and went in. Standing in front of the chief, she began to ask why the person protecting Shen Liwu was replaced by someone else, and why she was mainly under surveillance. She did nothing but was framed, just because she had poison in her hand, just because she had a dispute with Shen Jiajia?
But I was forbidden to leave the army and go anywhere. What kind of logic is this?
"Commander, my wife didn't kill anyone. When I found Shen Jiajia, she was already dead. Isn't what you are doing the same as telling everyone that my wife and I killed Shen Jiajia?"
The chief raised his head, frowned, and stared at Zhou Yanjing sharply, "Do you know what Shen Jiajia's death involves? This is not just her personal matter, there may be a bigger conspiracy behind it. Your identities are special, especially Shen Liwu. She holds the poison in her hand. We must ensure her safety, and at the same time eliminate all possible suspicions."
Zhou Yanjing clenched his fists tightly, his voice low and suppressed, "But she is my wife! I have the responsibility to protect her, not let others monitor her!"
The chief's expression softened slightly, and his tone became steady. "I understand how you feel. This is a special period. We have already sent the most reliable personnel, and they will protect her safety for 14 hours. And you need to stay with the troops and cooperate with our investigation. Only in this way can we clear your suspicion as soon as possible."
"I request a replacement. I am worried about those people. Also, I request to join the investigation into who the murderer is." He could endure being banned from leaving the army, but he could not be careless about Chen Liwu's safety. He had to replace him with someone capable and whom he could trust.
The chief laughed angrily and cursed, "You little bastard, this is the reason you came this time, right? I knew you would come here for no reason, and you have so many tricks up your sleeve, how could I not understand you? Don't you believe in my ability?"
Zhou Yanjing did not deny what the chief said, "The chief's ability is obvious to all, but I am still worried."
"You..." The leader's face turned red and his neck became thick with anger.
Zhou Yanjing, however, looked calm and composed, "Commander, the army has its own disciplines. I know that once an order is issued, it cannot be changed. Let me say a few words. My wife has to get up early and go to work in the hospital every day, and the commute is long. Last time, she was kidnapped because I didn't know. She jumped off the cliff and survived. She was lucky. But I don't dare to gamble. If the commander doesn't change someone, then I will retire and fully support what she wants to do. I will stay by her side to protect her and find out who killed Shen Jiajia and clear our name."
"You..." The chief pointed at him and was speechless for a while. After a while, he said, "Are you threatening me?"
This brat, knowing that he cherishes talent and is reluctant to touch him, uses this to force himself, and he has grown up.
"Report to the commander: I didn't. I thought about retiring when Chen Liwu jumped off the cliff. If I can't protect her, then why am I still a soldier? If I can't even protect the people I love, how can I talk about defending the country and serving the people? I'm retiring voluntarily. You didn't force me to do it. I volunteered.
I will not let my wife bear the crime of being a murderer. If even the army cannot give her justice, then I will not be the deputy commander anymore. "Zhou Yanjing answered in a resounding voice, with a strong determination in his eyes.
"I...you..."
This brat is getting more and more arrogant. He doesn't even dare to threaten me with discharge from the army.
Zhou Yanjing took out the application form from his trouser pocket and handed it to the chief with both hands: "Chief, this is my application for retirement. I have already written it. Please approve my retirement letter."
