But no sooner had they closed the door than someone knocked on it.
Du Chenzhou opened the door, completely bewildered, only to find two more guards standing at his doorstep.
Du Chenzhou peeked out and saw that the two guards who were standing at the door of Howard and Lusca's house were still there and seemed to be fine.
That shouldn't be because something happened to Howard and Lusca.
"What are you doing...?"
Du Chenzhou was completely bewildered.
The two guards didn't say anything, they just saluted him expressionlessly.
"Comrade Du Chenzhou, please come with us."
Seeing that he probably wouldn't get any information out of him, Du Chenzhou could only follow along in a daze.
As he walked, he kept wondering what he had done wrong.
After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't come up with an answer.
These past two days, besides accompanying Howard and Lusca as their translator, he's just had dinner with them in the evenings, then come back and go straight to sleep... that's about it.
Du Chenzhou was led to a conference room.
Upon opening the door, Xie Zhiyan, Division Commander Du, and Brigade Commander Zeng were all present.
He had met these two before; they were both high-ranking leaders.
Xie Zhiyan was sitting next to the two leaders.
Today, Xie Zhiyan was dressed in a military uniform, looking very smart. The epaulets on his shoulders, symbolizing his military rank, shone brightly, reflecting a dignified light.
Du Chenzhou's throat tightened involuntarily, and he frowned with some worry.
This is quite a spectacle!
He walked hesitantly to the chair opposite the table where the two leaders were sitting, but hesitated to sit down for a moment.
"What are you two doing?"
Neither of the two leaders made a statement yet, so Xie Zhiyan spoke on their behalf.
Xie Zhiyan's gaze was sharp as a sword. He looked Du Chenzhou up and down without making a sound, and his eyes fell on his face to observe his subtle expressions.
He got straight to the point—
"I've invited you here today to cooperate with the investigation into the pocket watch."
"Comrade Du Chenzhou, please explain in detail how you arrived at the border battlefield."
"Please note that we need you to describe the cause and effect, as well as the course of action, in detail."
The three people sitting in front of him were all very serious. Du Chenzhou was already nervous enough, and Xie Zhiyan's blunt questioning made his heart beat faster for no reason.
He silently calmed his racing heart while trying to speak calmly.
"I already explained all of this at the police station. Is there any other problem?"
Xie Zhiyan remained calm and composed, without the slightest fluctuation: "The investigation needs to be thorough, please cooperate."
Du Chenzhou nodded; there was no other way.
He took a deep breath and, as Xie Zhiyan had asked, recounted in detail all the causes, consequences, and routes he remembered, without holding anything back.
"As for why I woke up on the battlefield, it was because I was mistakenly captured by those two Yue people. I almost lost my life there, but unexpectedly, the people who captured me suddenly died, and I was lucky enough to save my life."
"Everything I've said above is true, without any concealment. I hope you leaders will believe me!"
Xie Zhiyan exchanged glances with Commander Du and Brigade Commander Zeng.
When Xie Zhiyan returned from the border battlefield, he had already submitted a report, which detailed the situation on the battlefield at that time.
Even the report submitted by the company responsible for cleaning up the battlefield later stated that they did not find the bodies of the two Yue people that Du Chenzhou mentioned during the cleanup process.
