Chapter 274 The Child



“There are indeed suspicious people among the platoon leader’s men.”

I'm doing this for safety reasons; I hope the platoon leader can inspect the equipment before we proceed with training.

Jiang Tiecheng was naturally very confident in his painting. The moment he touched the gun, he received a message from the information panel.

The bullets fired from this gun will penetrate the target and injure the people behind it.

Moreover, it was a move to kill someone.

And because the victims were children from a nearby village, it caused a huge uproar in the local area.

Because of this incident, everyone training at the firing range was punished, especially Platoon Leader Guo.

Jiang Tiecheng also believed that Platoon Leader Guo and his team must have already conducted a check here beforehand, but he trusted his information panel even more.

"Wu Wei, Hao Zhiqiang, you two are specifically in charge of the safety inspection today."

"You all step forward and check me again."

Wu Wei and Hao Zhiqiang stepped forward with strong dissatisfaction in their eyes; they felt humiliated.

"Platoon leader, we conducted a thorough inspection today, and all the local residents have been asked to leave this area."

The situation described by Jiang Tiecheng is absolutely impossible.

"Platoon leader, we can't let Fei bear this stigma just because Jiang Tiecheng said something casually."

The soldiers in the recruit company looked at each other, all feeling a pang of worry for Jiang Tiecheng.

Jiang Tiecheng has gained great prestige among everyone because of his technical expertise, but even the most prestigious person cannot speak so carelessly.

When the two collided, these soldiers at the firing range were veterans.

How could they possibly doubt the discipline and sense of responsibility of veterans?

No wonder the other party was so angry.

"Jiang Tiecheng, you heard that my comrades have already conducted a safety check, and we are at a live-fire range."

Before conducting target practice here, we will definitely clear out all civilians within a 1km radius.

There is absolutely no possibility of accidental injury. What you just said is tantamount to questioning our sense of responsibility.

"Platoon Leader Guo really has someone behind the target."

You just need to send someone to check it out, and I will take full responsibility for what I said.

If no one is behind me, I can take all the punishment.

This is a matter of life and death, and Jiang Tiecheng is not joking.

Seeing that Jiang Tiecheng was still so serious, even Guo Yaozong began to doubt himself.

This kid must have a death wish; how can he be so stubborn?

"You two go get checked."

Although Wu Wei and his companion didn't swear or curse, their expressions were quite unpleasant.

The two ran quickly toward the target.

Fifteen minutes later, the two men carried a child out from behind the target.

Both of them turned pale, their eyes filled with disbelief and panic.

You should know that the child was tied up tightly with ropes, his mouth was gagged, and he was thrown behind the target.

Based on this location, no one can see the child.

However, if a bullet penetrates the target, it is very likely to hit the stone wall and kill the child directly.

They are experienced personnel; just from the child's position, you can tell that only someone with extensive experience with firearms would make such a choice.

In other words, someone deliberately left the children here, waiting for them to practice target shooting, and then killed them.

When Guo Yaozong saw the child being carried out, he was also startled.

She glanced back at Jiang Tiecheng, her eyes filled with surprise and gratitude.

This is no joke if someone dies.

The scene fell silent, and everyone's gaze towards Jiang Tiecheng instantly changed.

The main problem is that no one can figure out why Jiang Tiecheng knew there was a child behind him, a position that is not visible to the naked eye.

In other words, where did Jiang Tiecheng get this information from?

However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness the child was found. If they hadn't found him and had accidentally hurt him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Just then, a commotion arose outside the firing range.

“A child in our village went missing, my fifth child went missing, and someone said they saw the child run to the shooting range.”

"Please, please help us find our child."

Hearing the cries, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

If they hadn't found the child just now.

The consequence of firing the gun was that the children were likely to be injured during their training, and then the villagers came looking for them.

Anyone with a brain can tell that this is a well-designed trap.

Li Jinhu led his men to the entrance. As the company commander of the new recruits' company, he was in charge of all affairs here.

The villagers have come looking for us. We're all one family, so we can't afford any conflict right now.

Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, Li Jinhu knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it could lead to local unrest.

This area belongs to the military reclamation zone.

He was well aware of the close bond between the military and the people, and how a problem would cause a ripple effect on the local community.

"Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, I am the company commander of the new recruits here, and I am in charge of things here. If you have any requests, you can tell me."

"Comrade, we've just lost a child. Someone saw the child at the shooting range. Please let us in to look for the child."

"Comrade Commander, Xiao Wu is the youngest child in our family. His two older brothers died young."

That's the only one left.

"Please, sir, let us find the child."

"Yes, comrade, if anything happens to the child, the couple won't be able to survive."

"Comrades, fellow villagers, it's not that I don't want you to go in, I can send people to help you look for the children in the surrounding area, but this is a military stronghold, you can't come in."

Li Jinhu's attitude was very firm, and just then someone in the crowd said something.

"Comrade, are you not letting us in? Did something happen to the child at your shooting range?"

You were just doing target practice; we all heard the gunshots.

Did you beat the child to death?

Upon hearing this, the child's biological parents immediately became agitated and rushed to Li Jinhu, shoving and pleading.

"Comrade, please, please let us in to look for our child?"

"Fellow villagers, listen to me, listen to me, you absolutely cannot go in here."

This is our discipline, our rule. Anyone who dares to trespass into this military restricted area will face our harsh treatment.

Li Jinhu's words were not a threat to the crowd, but rather an indication that the situation was extremely strange.

A group of villagers insisted on trespassing into their military territory, which is strictly off-limits to outsiders.

This involves a lot of confidential information, and the consequences of a leak would be unimaginable.

They are currently in a dilemma: if these villagers force their way in, they cannot actually injure them.
