The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

In the police station's interrogation room, Shen Yan and Ga Wa sat side by side.

Although it was called an interrogation room, to Ga Wa, this place was no different from an interrogation room.

White walls, a table, chairs, a policeman sitting opposite, and someone else taking notes next to him.

The atmosphere was even more serious than during a roll call at a company meeting!

The little boy sat very upright, in the standard military posture.

When he threw stones at the thugs in the amusement park, his hand was as steady as an old hunter from the pastoral area.

Now that I'm sitting in the police station, I'm starting to feel a little nervous.

He glanced at Shen Yan furtively and asked in a low voice:

"Friend, are we being detained?"

"Are we going to get discharged from the army?!"

Shen Yan glanced at him, her tone remaining relatively calm.

"We're not being detained; we're just cooperating with an investigation!"

Ga Wa breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became a little uneasy again.

"So when I called out to the police officer that we were good people, wasn't that timely enough?"

Shen Yan paused for a moment.

"Quite timely."

At least the SWAT team didn't pin him to the ground immediately!

After all, the scene at that time was indeed a bit easy to misunderstand.

The amusement park was in chaos. Two thugs lay on the ground, and three long knives lay next to Ga Wa and Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was still holding someone down, and the little boy was holding a pebble in his hand, looking like he was ready to smash someone to death at any moment.

In this situation, anyone who sees it should shout "Don't move!"

After all, it's hard to tell who the victim really is!

Not long after, the door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in.

He was wearing a police uniform, had a square face, and looked very dignified.

"My name is Zhou Weiguo, and I am the deputy director here."

Shen Yan and Ga Wa immediately stood up and saluted.

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand.

"Don't be nervous, sit down."

He sat down opposite the two of them, first looking at Shen Yan, then at Ga Wa.

He sensed a familiarity about the two men, as if they were soldiers like himself.

However, the two of them didn't have a strong military aura; they looked more like raw recruits.

However, their salutes were quite standard.

Zhou Weiguo has just read the preliminary on-site report.

Three knife-wielding assailants have been apprehended. One of them was hit on the back of the head with a rock and collapsed to the ground, still unconscious, and has been taken to the ICU.

One was injured in the hands and feet by a stone and lost the ability to move, while the other was held down by Shen Yan's joint locks.

Even more outrageous, many people at the scene said that these two young men were amazing.

One of the knives flew out of the air, but one of the two young men hit it with a stone halfway through the air and deflected it!

Zhou Weiguo has handled cases for so many years, and he has seen plenty of acts of bravery and righteousness.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone subdue a thug with a stone!

He opened the notebook and asked in a calm tone:

"Name."

Shen Yan replied, "Shen Yan."

Ga Wa quickly added, "Ga Wa."

Zhou Weiguo looked up at him.

Full name.

Ga Wa gave his full name, speaking rather quickly.

The recorder paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask him to repeat it again.

After repeating it, the little boy added in a low voice:

"Our names are a bit longer."

The recorder's pen tip tilted, drawing a line on the notebook.

He sighed helplessly; he would have to rewrite it later.

Zhou Weiguo continued to ask for basic information.

Age, place of origin, why they are in the city today, and why they are in the amusement park.

Shen Yandu answered truthfully.

When asked about his profession, Shen Yan paused for a moment and said:

"soldier."

Zhou Weiguo looked up at him.

"active duty?"

"active duty."

Which organization?

Shen Yan did not answer immediately, but said very seriously:

"I'm sorry, we cannot disclose the specific unit. You can verify this through military channels."

Ga Wa quickly nodded in agreement.

"That's right, it's a confidentiality agreement."

Zhou Weiguo glanced at the two of them but did not press the matter further.

Based on his many years of criminal investigation experience, the two men's posture, reactions, and sense of discipline were indeed very similar to those of people from the military.

Moreover, when Shen Yan said "it's inconvenient to disclose" just now, his tone was very calm, which didn't seem like he was making up lies.

Zhou Weiguo nodded.

"Okay, we will verify your identity with your unit later."

Shen Yan replied, "Understood."

Zhou Weiguo put down his pen and began to formally discuss the incident.

"Tell me, what exactly happened at the amusement park today? Let's start from when you got to the city."

Shen Yan didn't embellish or deliberately emphasize what he did; he simply recounted the events chronologically.

They came out today with the mess hall's purchasing truck, and the squad leader dropped them off in the city center.

The two originally planned to go to the amusement park in the morning, the bookstore and supermarket in the afternoon, and then return to camp with the shopping truck in the evening.

They then heard screams in the amusement park and discovered three masked men wielding knives attacking tourists, resulting in multiple injuries.

They judged that the other party had a knife, and that they were in plain clothes and unarmed, and that the surrounding crowd was very dense.

If you rashly engage in close combat, you may not only get injured, but the assailant may also take advantage of the chaos to continue harming others.

So he immediately told Ga Wa to call the police, and he went to find something that could restrain the criminals from a distance.

Then they discovered that there were a lot of pebbles in the flower bed, which could be used as weapons.

Zhou Weiguo nodded; Shen Yan's judgment was very rational.

Unlike most young people who are easily swayed by emotions and rush headlong into a knife-wielding assailant, thus avoiding unnecessary casualties, they are not impulsive and hot-blooded.

Having courage is one thing; being able to make rational judgments in a chaotic situation is another.

Then, Shen Yan recounted how he used a stone to knock down the thug who was about to harm the little boy, and how Ga Wa hit the running thug with a stone.

After the two assailants inhaled an unidentified white powder, they became abnormal, with weakened pain sensation and heightened agitation. The assailants had to separate and restrain them, leading them towards a less crowded area.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's brows furrowed noticeably.

"White powder?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"I'm not sure what it is, but after they inhaled it, they experienced rapid breathing, red eyes, and a significant decrease in pain response."

The individual's behavior became more agitated, suggesting the possible presence of stimulants.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the police officer next to him.

The police officer immediately nodded, indicating that relevant physical evidence had been collected from the scene.

Zhou Weiguo then looked at Ga Wa.

"Did you hit those moving thugs with a stone?"

The little boy sat up even straighter.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Weiguo asked, "Have you trained before?"

The little boy nodded very seriously.

"I've practiced it."

Zhou Weiguo's expression softened slightly.

"Where did you train?"

The child's answer was very simple.

"I practiced it when I was herding sheep in the mountains."

Zhou Weiguo: "..."

The scribe's pen paused again.

Can you develop this level of accuracy just by herding sheep?

If this statement gets out, people will think the police are writing about extraordinary people in ordinary life!

There was a two-second silence in the interrogation room.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the little boy and for a moment didn't know how to evaluate him.

He has handled many cases and seen all sorts of sources of skills.

Those who practice Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), those who practice wrestling, those who practice shooting, and those who practice general sports.

But this was the first time he had ever heard of practicing aiming while herding sheep.

The crucial on-site surveillance footage also proved that this guy wasn't bragging!

Zhou Weiguo could only nod.

"continue."

Shen Yan then finished recounting the subsequent events.

This included him carrying the little boy to safety, Gawa deflecting the throwing knife with a stone, and then hitting the assailant in the back of the knee. He then took advantage of the assailant's disarming moment to get close and subdue him.

Zhou Weiguo pressed Shen Yan for details, and Shen Yan answered them all very clearly.

After completing the initial questioning, Zhou Weiguo closed his notebook and said:

"Please wait here for a moment. We need to verify the surveillance footage, the testimonies of the people at the scene, and your military identification."

Shen Yan nodded.

"Can."

After Zhou Weiguo left with the recorder, only Shen Yan and Ga Wa remained in the interrogation room.

Ga Wa finally relaxed a little.

He asked in a low voice:

"Friend, do you think what we did counts as meritorious service? At the very least, it's a third-class merit, right?"

Shen Yan glanced at him.

"Pretty much. If that white powder were some kind of contraband, we might even get a second-class merit award!"

The little boy was taken aback, then his face lit up with surprise!

"As expected, following Shen Yan was the right decision!"

Shen Yan took out his phone, glanced at the time, and then said helplessly.

"Gawa, I think we should put aside the matter of making meritorious contributions for now and think about what to do with Squad Leader Zhao first."

Ga Wa's expression changed.

"It's broken!"

"We still need to take the shopping bus back tonight!"

It was already afternoon.

The meeting time agreed upon by Zhao Mancang was getting closer and closer.

The original plan was for them to go to the amusement park in the morning and then go to the bookstore with Shen Yan to buy medical books in the afternoon.

Then go to the supermarket to buy the items on the list, and return to the meeting point on time in the evening.

Now look what's happened.

I didn't buy any books, and I didn't even go to the supermarket.

The items on the list are still just on A4 paper.

Shen Yan looked at his phone and couldn't help but sigh.

Today's medical book project is most likely to fall through.

Gawa also thought of those two lists, and his expression suddenly became complicated.

"Friend, it seems the things our comrades wanted to bring are probably not going to come."

Shen Yan: "..."

Even after arriving at the police station, he was still thinking about the things his comrade needed to bring.

The little boy really values ​​camaraderie!

About half an hour later, Zhou Weiguo returned to the interrogation room.

This time, his attitude was much more moderate than before.

The on-site surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and police reports have been preliminarily matched.

This basically proves that Shen Yan and Ga Wa are not suspects.

Rather, they are kind-hearted individuals who, in the event of a sudden knife attack, participate in stopping the crime, protecting the people, and acting bravely for a just cause!

However, this incident was far too serious, involving a criminal wielding a knife and injuring several people.

In addition to verifying the identities of the three criminals and dealing with the suspected illegal drugs, the procedures wouldn't allow Shen Yan and his group to simply pack up and leave!

Upon seeing Zhou Weiguo return, Shen Yan took the initiative to speak:

"Director Zhou, we need to return to our unit."

"If we're any later, we'll miss the agreed-upon time."

After Zhou Weiguo sat down, he said:

"We can't leave yet."

The little boy sat up straight instinctively.

Shen Yan frowned slightly, but did not speak immediately.

Zhou Weiguo explained:

"Don't be nervous, it's not that there's a problem with you."

Preliminary verification shows that the on-site evidence and witness testimonies all prove that you were stopping a crime.

Just as Ga Wa breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Weiguo said again:

"But the matter has not been fully investigated yet, the statements need to be supplemented, and your military status also needs to be officially verified by the military."

"In addition, witnesses at the scene testified that you saved the child and participated in controlling the perpetrator. This may involve issues such as commendation, notification, and documentation."

"Therefore, you cannot leave on your own for the time being!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan understood.

We still need to go through the procedures!

But once this process is complete, he probably won't be able to buy the book today!

Shen Yan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

I clearly came out to buy medical books.

As a result, they didn't even get into the bookstore; they were immediately detained at the police station!

Seeing their nervous expressions, Zhou Weiguo smiled and comforted them:

"Here's what we'll do. Here's your phone back. You can contact the military and explain the situation."

Once this is all settled, we can send a car to take you back, or you can wait for the military to pick you up.

Shen Yan nodded upon hearing this. He took out his phone, ready to call Gao Zhenhai.

He scrolled through his contacts and then suddenly stopped.

The little boy leaned closer and whispered:

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yan remained silent for two seconds.

"I didn't save the class monitor's phone number. Did you?"

Ga Wa picked up his phone and scrolled through it, then fell silent.

Shen Yan flipped through it again.

I didn't save Chen Lian's phone number either.

Gawa blinked.

"What should we do then?"

In the end, Shen Yan could only find Zhao Mancang's phone number.

This was something Zhao Mancang specifically asked them to save before they got off the bus, saying it would be convenient to contact each other when they gathered in the evening.

Helpless, Shen Yan could only call Zhao Mancang.

The call was answered quickly.

The background noise from Zhao Mancang's side was very loud, like it was in a market or a purchasing point.

"Xiao Shen, what's wrong?"

Shen Yan said:

"Squad Leader Zhao, we probably won't be able to get back by the agreed time."

Zhao Mancang was clearly taken aback for a moment.

Then, his tone suddenly became serious.

"Xiao Shen, listen to me! You're new recruits, this is your first time out here. It may be exciting outside, but you absolutely mustn't do anything foolish!"

Shen Yan was taken aback.

"Squad Leader Zhao, I didn't..."

Zhao Mancang didn't give him a chance to explain.

"Military discipline is no joke, and the word 'deserter' is not something to be taken lightly!"

If you and Ga Wa have any ideas, talk to the squad leader and the company first. Don't act impulsively!

Shen Yan was speechless.

"Squad Leader Zhao, we're not going to run away."

Zhao Mancang was still trying to persuade him.

"I know you are young and this is your first time leaving the camp. Seeing the hustle and bustle outside, it's inevitable that you will have some thoughts."

But you're already in military uniform. Even though you're wearing civilian clothes today, you're still members of the military...

Shen Yan could only interrupt him.

"Squad Leader Zhao, Ga Wa and I are at the police station now!"

There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.

Two seconds later, Zhao Mancang's voice rose eight octaves.

"What the heck?"

"public security bureau?"

The scenario in his mind instantly changed from "two recruits wanting to desert" to "two recruits causing trouble in the city and getting arrested!"

Zhao Mancang almost dropped the purchasing book in his hand!

broken!

I should never have let those two out!

They should have been made to carry potatoes alongside them!

They had just released him, and after a morning of not keeping an eye on him, he ended up in the police station!

Zhao Mancang forced himself to suppress his panic and asked:

"What did you two do? Is it serious?"

"If it's not too big, I'll come pick you up now."

Just as Shen Yangang was about to explain, Zhou Weiguo raised his hand in a gesture.

Shen Yan thought for a moment and felt that it would be more appropriate for the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau to explain than for him to make things more confusing if he tried to explain himself.

So he handed over the phone.

Zhou Weiguo answered the phone, his tone calm and steady.

"Hello, I am Zhou Weiguo, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Mancang's heart skipped a beat.

Deputy Director?

Why would a deputy director personally answer a phone call about something so trivial?

Finished!

These two new recruits have probably gotten themselves into some serious trouble!

I'm afraid I, as the class monitor, can't handle this!

Zhou Weiguo continued:

"Comrades Shen Yan and Ga Wa are now involved in a serious public security incident and need to stay and cooperate with the police investigation!"

Please inform your superiors immediately and explain the situation!

"After the follow-up investigation is completed, we will coordinate with the military to arrange their return."

Zhou Weiguo's statement was very rigorous and objective.

But when these words reached Zhao Mancang's ears, their power was completely different.

Serious public security incident?

Do we have to stay and cooperate with the investigation?

Should we also notify the military leadership?

Every word was like a 50-pound bag of rice, slamming into Zhao Mancang's head!

Zhao Mancang quickly said:

"Okay, okay, I'll notify my supervisor right away to resolve this!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mancang was completely stunned!

The veteran driver next to him was returning with shopping bags. Noticing his odd expression, he couldn't help but ask:

"Squad leader, what's wrong?"

Zhao Mancang looked at his phone, his voice slightly weak.

"broken!"

"Shen Yan and Ga Wa have been taken to the police station; they're involved in a serious public security incident."

The veteran driver nearly dropped the bag he was carrying.

"What?"

"Weren't they going to buy books and go shopping?"

"How did such a big thing happen?"

Zhao Mancang took a deep breath.

"Who knows? The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau just told me personally to find a leader!"

He didn't dare delay and immediately dialed Chen Gang's number.

At this moment, Chen Gang was in a pretty good mood.

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Mancang's first words almost sent Chen Gang to his death on the spot!

"Chen Lian, something terrible has happened!"

Chen Gang frowned.

"What is it?"

Zhao Mancang speaks very quickly.

"Shen Yan and Ga Wa have been arrested by the police; they're involved in a serious public security incident!"

Chen Gang's head buzzed.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Mancang quickly said:

"The two of them are at the Public Security Bureau now. The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau answered the phone personally and told us to notify the military leaders."

Chen Gang suddenly felt everything go black!

Two new recruits were released against regulations, resulting in a major security incident in the city.

Countless images flashed through Chen Gang's mind in an instant!

The regimental commander had a dark face, the political instructor came to question him, and he was squatting in a small dark room writing a self-criticism, worrying about his future...

The next second, Chen Gang's voice changed.

Which police station?

Zhao Mancang quickly gave the address.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Gang's first reaction was to call Gao Zhenhai.

Gao Zhenhai was near the Second Platoon at the moment, just about to go and check if the new recruits had been messing around on their day off.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Gang lowered his voice.

"Gao Zhenhai, call Liang Zheng to assemble at the camp gate immediately!"

Gao Zhenhai's heart tightened.

"yes!"

Chen Gang added:

"Shen Yan and Ga Wa have been taken to the police station!"

Gao Zhenhai's head buzzed for a moment.

"What?"

Chen Gang said:

"I don't know the specifics, come quickly!"

After the call ended, Gao Zhenhai stood there, his face visibly changed.

Liang Zheng happened to be nearby and, seeing Gao Zhenhai's expression, immediately asked:

"Old Gao, what's wrong?"

Gao Zhenhai glanced at him, his voice strained.

"Shen Yan and Ga Wa... have been taken to the police station."

Liang Zheng was also stunned.

"What?"

"Aren't they on official business?"

Gao Zhenhai's face turned dark.

"They say it involves a serious public security incident."

Liang Zheng: "..."

His first reaction wasn't anger, but bewilderment.

I've only been living in Class 2 for a few days?

I finally started to get used to life in the recruit training camp, but now the recruits I was leading went straight to the police station on leave?

Can this platoon leader still be allowed to hold his position normally?

The two quickly packed up and hurried towards the camp gate.

At the camp gate, Chen Gang was already sitting in the car.

Instructor Yang Wenjun was also in the car, his face equally dark.

Yang Wenjun is usually mild-mannered, but he couldn't be mild-mannered at this moment.

Just as the recruit training camp was starting to show promise, Shen Yan had just earned merit, and the promising recruits in the second platoon were just beginning to emerge, two new recruits left the camp on leave and went to the Public Security Bureau.

If a negative problem really occurs, the entire recruit company will be singled out for rectification!

When Gao Zhenhai and Liang Zheng arrived, they saw the atmosphere inside the car and immediately stopped breathing.

The two got into the car and closed the door.

The atmosphere inside the car was extremely tense; not a single person spoke!

Chen Gang stepped on the gas and drove the car straight out of the camp.

Gao Zhenhai sat in the back row, his mind racing with thoughts.

Shen Yan doesn't seem like the type to cause trouble.

Although Ga Wa is a chatterbox, he's not the kind of person who causes trouble for no reason!

What exactly is going on?

Chen Gang gripped the steering wheel, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

One sentence kept repeating to himself.

Shen Yan, oh Shen Yan!

You better not get into any big trouble!
