Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 1032 - 677: Even the Honest Judge Struggles with Family Affairs

Night has fallen, and since there's no electricity, people temporarily settled on the embankment mostly have drifted into slumber without being able to watch TV or listen to the radio. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Some people can't sleep, gathered in small groups, gazing into the distance where their homes are flooded, sighing deeply and softly discussing their uncertain future.

At this moment, a series of hurried yet orderly footsteps sound from afar.

The crowd turns to look, and lo and behold, a troop is marching rapidly, their flashlights dazzling.

"Third platoon, speed up! Second platoon, follow! First platoon, halt!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Surround immediately, don't let them get away."

...

Such commotion naturally couldn't escape the notice of Xu Mingyuan, Ma Jintao, and others.

Xu Mingyuan and Ma Jintao just stepped out of the tent when they saw the entire camp surrounded. Facing them was an Army Captain and a Lieutenant in camouflage, accompanied by a dozen warriors.

"Comrade, which unit are you from, and what are you doing?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

The Army Captain, already enraged, raised his flashlight to shine it on Xu Mingyuan and others, and ordered coldly, "Wen Youming, Chen Hua, Zhang Guobing!"

"Present!"

"Identify them!"

"Yes, sir!"

The three warriors quickly rushed forward, shining their flashlights one by one, clearly here to capture Xiao Yu and Xiao Gu.

Xiao Mingyuan didn't expect them to be so furious, hurriedly signaling Guo Weitao and others to stay calm, and asked again, "Captain, what are you doing?"

"Looking for people."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Looking for the people who stole our company's honor title flag."

"You can look for people, but is this how you do it?"

Xiao Mingyuan's expression turned serious, fixing his gaze on him, "My last name is Xu, Xu Mingyuan, Deputy Instructor of Jiangnan Province Military District's Linghai Reserve Camp. Now I order you to immediately have your subordinates vacate our camp, or don't blame us for being unkind!"

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Reserve Forces are veterans.

The Army Captain realized he couldn't be too excessive, raised his arm and saluted, "Old platoon leader, I am Guan Zhenghao, Company Commander of the 274th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 1st Company of the 902nd Division, 301st Army. Our soldiers witnessed your camp's people stealing our flag! Hand over the flag and the people, and we'll leave."

"Comrade Guan Zhenghao, this may be a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding, haha, old platoon leader, I also don't want to blow things up. Just hand over the people, have them apologize, and this matter will be settled."

"Or else?"

"Or else don't blame us for being unkind."

Chen Youren couldn't take it anymore, pointing at him and scolding, "You new recruit, do you have superiors? You can talk nicely, our Instructor Xu was being polite to you, yet you don't appreciate it!"

"Old platoon leader, your people steal our flag and have the nerve to justify it? I heard one of the two who stole our flag is a Deputy Company Commander, truly the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"

"Watch your words!"

"That's how I say it, and I'd say the same if the superior comes." Guan Zhenghao grew increasingly indignant, turning around and shouting, "First platoon leader!"

"Present!" A Lieutenant ran over.

"Take two squads inside to search. If anyone dares not cooperate, apprehend them!"

"Yes, sir!"

"You dare!"

"I do dare! If you want to fight, bring it on, I'll be happy to test the skills of the old platoon leaders."

Xiao Yu was so furious he was gritting his teeth, about to charge forward but was pulled back by Guo Weitao.

Just as the first platoon leader of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Company of the 274th Regiment, accompanied by over twenty warriors, was about to head into the tent to search for the flag, the sound of a car engine suddenly erupted behind them, the headlights of the car blinding Guan Zhenghao and the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Company of the 274th Regiment.

"What are you doing, looking for a fight?"

Master Dai pushed open the door and got out of the car, accompanied by two warriors with military inspection webbing, shoulder badges with three bars and one star, and armbands and carrying blue folders, walked over.

Inspections are divided into two types, one is internal unit inspection, usually done by soldiers from the Guard Company or Guard Platoon on temporary duty, not a full-time position and only targeting unit officers and soldiers, not performing inspection tasks outside the camp.

The other type is the military inspection of the guard district, Provincial Military District, and Military District.

All inspections are annoying, but compared to internal inspections, military inspections are even more annoying!

They always find faults where none should exist, no matter which unit you're from or what rank or position you hold. If they target you, you're in trouble.

They "rank one level higher than officers," their main duties being "three maintenances, one execution, one assistance."

Maintaining military appearance and discipline, maintaining military vehicle operating order and traffic safety, maintaining military reputation and soldiers' rights, executing temporary security duties, and assisting local authorities with security as required.

They're authorized to criticize, educate, and even physically restrain current military personnel violating military appearance and discipline or disregarding advice, reporting to superiors or informing relevant units for handling as a normal procedure.

Just three months ago, a female military doctor from the division medical team forgot to wear her hat when going out, carrying a newly bought lady's handbag, and unfortunately was targeted by several military inspectors, frightening her into hiding in the ladies' restroom.

In the end, those military inspectors stood guard outside the ladies' restroom for two hours, leaving the female military doctor with no choice but to come out and admit her mistake, which was then recorded and reported to the division.

Fortunately, she was female; if it had been a man, they would take him away and inform his leaders to fetch him.

Overall, as soon as you see inspectors, don't think twice, just run!

If they don't catch you, you're safe.
