    “Ha.” Lieutenant Wu laughed, but then he felt that he was laughing too unconfidently, so he deliberately raised his voice and laughed again, “I didn’t expect you to be quite humorous.”

    Cheng Xiu curled his lips slightly and slowly put down the gun.

    Lieutenant Wu signaled to the guard next to him, and the firearms on the table were immediately taken away without even leaving a single bullet casing.

    “You’re scared.”

    Qiao Qiao heard some mocking in Cheng Xiu’s tone.

    “Fart.” Lieutenant Wu slammed the table, “You still want to intimidate me, but you don’t even look up to see where this is!”

    After saying that, he softened his tone and said, “Let’s do this. I’ll give you some time to think about it slowly. I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”

    Lieutenant Wu raised his feet and went out, and stopped the guard from locking the door: “No need to lock it, let them wander around and take a look, maybe they can figure it out.”

    Qiao Qiao knew that this was a way to show off his power and negotiate to exert pressure, showing that he was confident that Qiao Qiao and Cheng Xiu would not be able to escape.

    But no matter what, there is no need to stay in that dark room without ventilation from all sides.

    As soon as Lieutenant Wu and others left, Cheng Xiu’s face became extremely dark. There was always no shortage of moths and rats in the army, but due to the strict regulations of the military, no matter how greedy he was, he would not dare to be so blatant, let alone take human life lightly.

    “Should we take this opportunity to leave?” Qiao Qiao thought for a while and frowned: “No, they will find out as soon as we leave, and they will definitely destroy the evidence as soon as possible. It will be difficult to catch us again.”

    She was still wavering between walking and not walking. Suddenly she realized that Cheng Xiu was gone, so she hurriedly ran out of the house.

    The two of them walked around the camp first, and after figuring out the location of the checkpoints, Cheng Xiujiao walked through the canteen door.

    This time was the time for the camp officers to eat. The canteen was bustling with people, but few people noticed them.Qiao Qiao went to the window to get the plate, grabbed some meat and vegetables, and then sat in the corner with Cheng Xiu to eat.

    “Bah…” Qiao Qiao spat a mouthful of pork belly back onto the plate, “What does it taste like? It’s all rancid.”

    Cheng Xiu took a bite and then passed the delicious food on his plate to Qiao Qiao.

    “Have the officers and soldiers here always been eating this kind of food?” Qiao Qiao felt chills all over his body.

    “The food standard for the second-class stove is four dishes and one soup, two meat, two vegetarian and fruit.” Cheng Xiu looked at the pitiful wrinkled apple on the plate, “It’s just superficial, not even as good as pig food.”

    “I guess when the higher ups come to check, they will replace it with good food and good food. Anyway, the quantity is just right, and the soldiers below will not be able to tell if they are suffering.”

    Cheng Xiu was silent for a while, then took Qiao Qiao’s plate, poured all the meat slices into his bowl, and started eating.

    It seems that this way is used to feel the pain of the officers and soldiers eating “pig food” every day.

    While eating without taste, Qiao Qiao’s eyes were attracted by a strange person.

    The man was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier and had two portions of rice in front of him, but he didn’t eat a bite. He only lowered his head and kept wiping tears, looking very sad.

    Qiao Qiao looked around and saw that no one cared about him. The two sides were not far apart anyway. Qiao Qiao glanced at Cheng Xiu and the two of them sat down next to him with plates in hand.

    “Are you okay?” Qiao Qiao handed over a pack of tissues, “Don’t wipe it with your sleeves, your eyes will be inflamed.”

    When I sat closer and took a closer look, I realized that the soldier was very young. He still looked like a childish boy. He took the tissue sheepishly and muttered thank you.

    Qiao Qiao observed him calmly and asked deliberately: “Are you homesick?”

    “No…”

    “So you just miss your girlfriend?”

    The recruit lowered his head: “I’m fine, thank you… I, I want to sit by myself for a while.”

    Qiao Qiao looked at the extra portion of rice on the table: “Do you still miss your comrade who just passed away?”

    The recruit suddenly raised his head and stammered: “Do you know Xue Gang?”

    Qiao Qiao: “Of course, that’s why we’re here.”

    She was deliberately vague, but the recruit in front of her was undoubtedly extremely desperate and quickly grabbed this life-saving straw: “Are you really from the investigation team?”

    Qiao Qiao blinked and made a silent gesture: “Can you tell us the situation in detail?”

    The recruit nodded, wiped his tears hard, and told Xue Gang the cause and effect of his car falling into the ravine.

    “Besides Xue Gang, is there anyone else?” Qiao Qiao took a breath.

    “Yes. Several people in the team have had accidents while driving, and the investigation results were all drunk driving.” The recruit’s eyes turned red again, “But Xue Gang never drinks.”

    “Which hospital is Xue Gang’s body stored in?” Cheng Xiu asked.

    “XX Hospital, the director is a relative of Lieutenant Wu.”

    “What’s your name?”

    The recruit was stunned: “Xue Baojun, Xue Gang and I are from the same village.”

    After comforting Xue Baojun and telling him not to mention this to anyone, Qiao Qiao and Cheng Xiu left the restaurant.

    Qiao Qiao: “Xue Gang’s body should still be in the hospital. If we can get the autopsy report, it can prove that he was not a drunk driver.”

    “The autopsy report can be falsified.” Cheng Xiu said, “Xue Gang’s body cannot be cremated.”

    “Then what should we do? Xue Baojun said that the body will be sent to the funeral home tomorrow, and we can’t leave. As soon as we left, Wu discovered it.”

    Cheng Xiu said calmly: “Go out and come back.”

    “…”

    Qiao Qiao was speechless, “This is a military camp. Where can I leave and enter at a moment’s notice?”

    Ten minutes later.

    Cheng Xiu lifted Qiao Qiao’s waist and placed her firmly on the ground.

    Qiao Qiao looked at the two- to three-meter-high camp wall behind him and swallowed silently.

    She had a new understanding of Cheng Xiu’s physique and anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

    Without wasting time, the two of them set off and rushed to the hospital Xue Baojun mentioned. Fortunately, it was not far from the camp and they could get there quickly by taking a taxi.

    There were many people in the hospital at night. Cheng Xiu swaggered around in the corridor and got two white coats. He gave the smaller one to Qiao Qiao and put on the larger one himself. With the mask covering his face, he would not arouse suspicion even if he walked around the hospital all night.

    After walking around the entire floor pretending to be a doctor, Qiao Qiao found that people around him were always looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

    Qiao Qiao: “?”

    Cheng Xiu looked away as if nothing had happened, but after a while, he started to glance towards her again.

    Qiao Qiao thought there was something stuck on his face, but when he touched it, there was no problem. It was very smooth.

    “Why do you keep looking at me?”

    Cheng Xiu looked forward: “Very cute.”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    She was silent for a while: “Which one is cuter, the normal me or the me in a white coat?”

    A straight man was stunned on the spot and at a loss.

    Qiao Qiao: “It turns out you only like my skin.”

    “…No.”

    Qiao Qiao: “That’s right. Look, your eyes widen as soon as I change my clothes. You’re not usually like this.”

    Cheng Xiu held it in for a long time: “Then I won’t look at you anymore.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Okay, you don’t even like my skin anymore.”

    Cheng Xiu: “…”

    He almost ran away and rushed into the morgue, as if there were rockets chasing him.

    Qiao Qiao: Pfft, that’s not a joke.

    There were more than a dozen corpses placed in the morgue, all stored in special freezers. The names of the deceased and a simple cause of death were posted on the cabinet doors, so it took little effort to find Xue Gang’s body.

    Qiao Qiao opened the freezer, and a body bag appeared in front of them. Qiao Qiao wanted to pull it, but Cheng Xiu held his hand.

    “The body of someone who died in a car accident is not a good look.”

    Qiao Qiao thought the same and quickly retracted his hand.

    Cheng Xiu walked around the room and read the nameplate information of all the deceased people. Finally, he selected a yellowed and damaged one and exchanged it with Xue Gang’s nameplate.

    Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened: “What are you—”

    “The hospital keeps many unclaimed bodies in cold storage. This one has been frozen here for thirteen years. Cremation is also a relief for it.”

    In this way, what the funeral parlor will take away tomorrow will no longer be Xue Gang’s body, but the corpse of an ownerless man. As long as Xue Gang’s body is preserved, it will be able to confront the autopsy report produced by Lieutenant Wu later.

    Qiao Qiao: “I thought I could convict Wu based on what he said. I didn’t expect that I would have to look for evidence everywhere.”

    “It can be decided.” Cheng Xiu turned his eyes, “But Xue Gang will die unjustly.”

    Qiao Qiao felt his heart beat suddenly.

    It turned out that Cheng Xiu didn’t have to deal with Wu, he could have revealed his identity and made Wu confess on the spot, but in that case, they wouldn’t have met Xue Baojun, and they wouldn’t have been able to save Xue Gang’s body.Even if it is finally determined that the main cause of the accident was the replacement of vehicle parts, Xue Gang’s reputation cannot be restored if there is a forged autopsy report.

    Cheng Xiu was willing to do so much for a soldier he had never met before.

    After leaving the hospital, the two returned the same way. The checkpoints in the camp were like children playing house in front of Cheng Xiu. Qiao Qiao even suspected that without her as a burden, Cheng Xiu could even enter and exit at will as if he were in an uninhabited land.

    Not long after returning to the hut, the guards came. Seeing Qiao Qiao and Cheng Xiu sitting peacefully in the house, they immediately showed a ‘Thank God’ expression.

    Lieutenant Wu came early the next morning.

    “You disappeared for an hour yesterday under the noses of my guards,” he said straight to the point, “What were you doing?”

    Cheng Xiu: “…”

    While he was still racking his brains to think of a reason, Qiao Qiao had already calmly met Lieutenant Wu’s gaze.

    “I’m constipated and I’m squatting.”

    Lieutenant Wu looked unconvinced: “Two people squatting together?”

    Qiao Qiao innocently said: “Someone has to hand over the paper.”

    Lieutenant Wu: “…”
