Witness No. 1 took a step forward and said loudly: "Sir, my name is Zhang Gaorui, captain and company commander of the second company of the first battalion of the fifth regiment of the security brigade of the Wuhan Garrison Command. I am responsible for the checkpoint guarding mission in Yuexi County!"
After that, Witness No. 2 also took a step forward and said loudly: "Sir, my name is Li Xiancheng, captain and company commander of the third company of the first battalion of the fifth regiment of the Security Brigade of the Wuhan Security Command. I am responsible for the checkpoint guarding mission in Luotian County!"
Jiao Juncai said: "Very good! Now I want to ask you a question, please answer it truthfully!"
At this time, Luo Jiang held a pencil in his hand, pointed it straight at Xiao Ancheng, glared at him, and then quietly pointed at the two witnesses.
Xiao Ancheng suddenly woke up, stood up immediately, raised one hand high, and said loudly: "Sir, I have something to say!"
Jiao Juncai was very angry and said, "Wait a moment and I'll have your chance to speak!"
Xiao Ancheng said bluntly: "Sir, we are the defendants and have the right to ask the witnesses questions first according to law! Please allow me to ask the witnesses questions first!"
Jiao Juncai became even more angry! But as soon as Xiao Ancheng said the word "according to law", he felt a little guilty.
To be honest, although he is the Chief of the Military Justice Department, he does not know whether there is such a law that allows the defendant to ask questions to the witness first.
He looked back again and saw no other expressions from the officers, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll let you ask first! I'll see what tricks you can come up with!"
Xiao Ancheng ignored it, stood up and walked towards the two witnesses.
He was wearing a neat and straight military uniform with a gleaming military rank. He had only worn this military uniform a few times. He was not wearing a helmet, and his hair was parted and combed neatly. His handsome face attracted even more attention!
Several female reporters in the press box were already shouting "Ouch! Ouch!"
Liao Ruolan saw Qiao Yanfang tilting her head back slightly, so she leaned over and whispered, "Sister, don't worry!"
Qiao Yanfang held back her laughter and nodded to her.

At this time, many people are quietly paying attention to this trial.
The person who has the most advantage in paying attention to this trial is actually Takashi sitting in the Deming Hotel room.
He grabbed the phone and listened to the person on the phone introducing him to the situation in the court. This introduction was detailed down to every detail.
He occasionally raised his head and told Mr. Sato opposite him what he heard.
Mr. Sato always had a slightly sarcastic smile on his face.
He felt a little regretful that he actually expected a military court from China to judge those people guilty!
To be honest, he would rather confront those people directly! It would be a matter of honor to win!
15-11
In the main hall of Chi's house, Chi Jun and Mrs. Chi sat quietly.
No one called them to report on the trial. They could only wait.
They won't know the outcome of the court trial until tonight.
Now for Miss Chi Jun, this trial is crucial!
Miss Chi Jun has made a decision in her heart that she will bet her money on these military police who are being tried again! She feels that she trusts them more!
Therefore, the waiting now makes her quite anxious!
15-12
In the operating room of the 22nd Field Hospital, Fu Xuelan had to hand over the operation she was doing to another doctor. She felt that she had been distracted.
She left the operating room, still wearing surgical clothes, standing in front of the window, looking at the sky outside.
She knew very well that once Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng were found guilty, her medicines would really not be returned!
Also, there is no way to solve the Wuhan defense strategic issue that Lao Liu has always been concerned about!
15-13
At this time, the large conference room of the Security Headquarters was very quiet, and everyone was looking ahead.
Xiao Ancheng walked up to the two witnesses, saluted them first, and then said: "Two sirs, I am Xiao Ancheng from the Military Police of the Investigation Division of the Wuhan Security Command. I wonder if the two sirs still remember me?"
An officer nodded, "I'm still a little impressed."
Xiao Ancheng looked back at the court and said, "This is a military court after all, and it's a bit serious. Let me ask a few questions first so that we can all get used to this place, okay?"
Everyone could see that the two officers were quite nervous. They nodded solemnly and said nothing.
Xiao Ancheng smiled and asked: "Captain Zhang, when did you start performing guard duties at Yuexi Pass?"
Company Commander Zhang thought about it very seriously, "It was December 20 last year."
Xiao Ancheng nodded, "We arrived at the Yuexi County Checkpoint on February 21 this year. Calculating this, by the time we arrived, you had been guarding the Yuexi County Checkpoint for two months."
"Yes, it's been two months." Captain Zhang replied with some confusion.
"How many people pass your checkpoint every day?" Xiao Ancheng asked with a smile.
"a lot of."
"Approximately how many people pass through every day? Approximately, not accurate."
"There are about two to three hundred people." Captain Zhang nodded and said.
"That means that when we arrived, there were already 10,000 or even 20,000 refugees passing through the checkpoint you were guarding."
"Yes, probably about the same."
"How do your soldiers check those refugees?"
"The main thing is to check the documents."
"If there is no problem with the documents, you can pass, right?"
"yes."
"Do you want to check anything else? For example, if there is anything else in the certificate, let me show it to you. There are two to three hundred people every day. It must be a very troublesome process. Is there anything else?"
He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were staring at Company Commander Zhang quite sternly.
At this time, Captain Zhang's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Ancheng who was smiling nervously.
Only then did he understand what the point of this question was! There were a total of 10,000 to 20,000 refugees passing through his checkpoint! Each person was charged one yuan, which was 10,000 to 20,000 yuan! He never thought there would be so many!
In fact, for many poor refugees, he does not charge money! However, no one will believe it for this reason!
Therefore, he was quite hesitant about how to answer this person's question!
He stared at Xiao Ancheng in front of him, his eyes turning rapidly!
15-14
In Deming Hotel, Takashi looked up at Mr. Sato, but anger flashed in his eyes.
He covered the phone receiver and whispered: "Sir, that Xiao Ancheng is very cunning! He threatened the witness! He threatened the witness without showing any trace! I'm afraid the witness will be fooled!"
Mr. Sato smiled and said softly: "I have dealt with them twice, once in Qiaojia Lane and once in Zhupeng Lane. I can really see that Xiao Ancheng is more cunning!"
Takaji said softly: "Sir, I feel that they may escape trial!"
Mr. Sato smiled even more happily, "I have never believed that a temporary military court can control these people!"
After a moment, he whispered again: "Takaji-kun, you'd better prepare other methods!"
Takashi looked at him and continued to put the receiver to his ear.
15-15
In the court, Captain Zhang had a stern face and stared at Xiao Ancheng motionlessly.
He had no other choice at this time, so he gritted his teeth and said, "We only check the documents, nothing else!"
At this moment, Jiao Juncai finally couldn't bear it anymore. This witness's testimony was completely beyond his expectation!
He said sternly: "This is a military court, not a place for you to chat! Defender, get back to the topic immediately!"
Xiao Ancheng turned to him and said, "Yes, sir, let's get back to the topic."
He turned back to stare at Company Commander Zhang, but his eyes became stern!
He raised his hand and pointed at the row of brothers in the dock and said seriously: "Captain Zhang, those are my brothers. Please tell me, and also tell the officer in court, have you seen my brothers extorting refugees?"
Company Commander Zhang looked at the row of soldiers, then looked back at the rostrum, and gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't see it!"
Xiao Ancheng raised his voice, "So, have your brothers seen my brothers extorting refugees?"
Company Commander Zhang shook his head firmly, "I didn't see it!"
At this time, the whole hall was very quiet, there was no sound at all.
Everyone looked at Xiao Ancheng and Captain Zhang. They were all surprised by Captain Zhang's answer!
Several officials on the rostrum also looked at them! They were even more surprised!
Only Jiao Juncai looked back at He Guixiang from time to time. He was very anxious. Today's trial might be out of control!
But now, he didn't get any new expression from the commander's face!
At this time, Xiao Ancheng slowly walked up to Captain Li and stared at him calmly.
He said: "Captain Li, you are guarding the Luotian County checkpoint, right?"
Unexpectedly, Captain Li said bluntly: "Lieutenant Xiao, you don't have to ask me so many questions, I didn't see anything! My brothers didn't see anything either!"
Xiao Ancheng stared at him sternly, "Captain Li, you didn't see anything!"
Captain Li glared at him and said, "I didn't see anything extorting refugees! Neither did my brothers!"
Xiao Ancheng still stared at them for a long time, even surprisingly long.
Finally, he said softly: "Thank you both," he turned back to the rostrum, "Sir, I have finished asking."
15-16
A rapid ringing of the phone woke Gui Longhai from his sleep.
He was very, very annoyed. He came back just after five o'clock this morning and had only slept for more than four hours!
He reluctantly grabbed the phone and asked: "Who!"
The person on the phone said: "Department Chief, you'd better come over, we're in trouble here!"
He asked: "What's going on! Tell me quickly!"
The person on the phone said: "Chief of the Section, the director has told us that all women must find a new home for them! But now there is a bastard woman who refuses to find a new home! We said, you can choose any one, and we will give you the price.
I’ll discuss it for you! But this rotten woman doesn’t agree to it! It’s hard for us to explain to the director just because of such a rotten woman!”
Gui Longhai knew very well that the director received money in this business! He must send all those women to prostitutes! People outside would never imagine that the interests involved are quite huge!
