Since you have spoken out, you don’t have to hide it anymore. Mu Guoxing asked: “Captain, are you not seeing Li Tie in the past few years?”

Shui Yidong thought for a while before saying, "I remember something when you say that. Li Tie has been training the transportation brigade in recent years and often organizes more than a dozen vehicles for long-distance transportation drills!"

Speaking of this, Shui Yidong slapped his head: "I remembered it. All the long-distance drills he organized started from your Anjiang River, and the destination was Hedong Province to the north of us."

Things became clearer and clearer. The drills organized by Li Tie were actually covering the transportation of smuggled items, which was consistent with the materials Mu Guoxing had.

Mu Guoxing asked again: "How are the cadres of this transportation brigade arranged? What is the relationship with Li Tie on weekdays?"

Shui Yidong took a breath: "The captain and instructor of the Transportation Brigade are both fellow villagers of Li Tie. These two people were originally deputy battalion officers of the General Corps Command. Li Tie worked a lot to do so in order for them to take on this position. At first, both the old political commissar and I disagreed, but later we agreed after the unblocking of Jiao Ningjun, the former Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Shunhai Province. You also know that Jiao Ningjun also served as the first political commissar and the first secretary of the Party Committee of our Armed Police Corps at that time. We should still respect his opinions."

Mu Guoxing knew that Shui Yidong was talking about the actual situation. According to relevant central regulations, the provincial party secretary should serve as the first secretary and first political commissar of the Provincial Military Region Party Committee, and the provincial political and legal committee secretary should also serve as the first secretary and first political commissar of the Provincial Armed Police Corps. Such regulations are mainly to reflect the party's leadership over the army and to facilitate unified command and coordination in handling emergencies.

In fact, the part-time jobs of the provincial party secretary and the provincial political and legal committee secretary in the army will not directly participate in the leadership of the army. Shui Yidong and the old political commissar agreed that Li Tie's two fellow villagers should serve as the captain and instructor of the transportation brigade, which is mainly a matter of inequality that cannot be smeared.

Face is very particular in our country. Even the leaders of military units like the troops cannot make exceptions. Some people took advantage of this loophole to make a very simple matter complicated. If Shui Yidong and the old political commissar resolutely acted in accordance with relevant regulations and did not allow those two people to hold such important positions, Li Tie would not have been able to lead the transport convoy so happily to carry out such a large-scale so-called military drill every time.

According to the materials obtained by Mu Guoxing, the cigarettes and high-end household appliances smuggled by Xi Bin and his group were transported by military vehicles. It turned out that Li Tie provided them with it! This explains why Li Tie fought to save Xi Binzhi to the death.

Qi Qiang walked in and whispered: "Political Commissar, Yu Jianyan asked to see you!"

Mu Guoxing nodded, and Qi Qiang shouted outside the door: "Come in!"

Seeing Yu Jianyan's face turned pale, Mu Guoxing knew that their search had no result. Like their actions just now, they could only conduct searches in public or in the military compound, and they would never dare to enter the eldest son's house. Now Xi Binzhi is hiding in Li Tie's house. If they could catch him, it would be a strange thing.

"Report to the captain of the general and political commissar, no search for Xi Binzhi!"

Shui Yidong asked: "Have you checked the family of the leader of the corps?"

"Report to the captain, we dare not enter the captain's house without orders."

"Okay, you go out and stand by!"

After looking at the time, it was already five o'clock in the morning. Shui Yidong asked, "Political Commissar, let's take action. Should we each lead the people to act, or should we join together?"

Mu Guoxing knew that Shui Yidong sought his own opinions just to avoid suspicion. He led his own actions and would be better if he caught Xi Binzhi. If he couldn't catch him, there would inevitably be some meaning that no one could explain.

"Captain, it's almost dawn now. Since Xi Binzhi hasn't run out of this courtyard, he will not dare to go out after dawn. My opinion is, let's go and see the Chief of Staff lying in the medical room first. What do you think about this arrangement?"

Shui Yidong understood that Mu Guoxing said he wanted to see Li Tie, but in fact he was giving Li Tie a chance. If he could take the initiative to hand over Xi Binzhi, it would obviously be better than going to his house to search and catch Xi Binzhi. At least when reporting to his superiors, it can be said that Li Tie took the initiative to hand over the person. When the superiors deal with it, they would also take this issue into consideration.

Shui Yidong nodded and looked at Mu Guoxing with gratitude. Mu Guoxing did this not only for Li Tie, but also for his good speech in front of his superiors in the future.

"I agree with the political commissar. Lao Shui thanks you first. I have some more additions. Escape from a vicious criminal will bring great safety hazards to our headquarters. Should we jointly issue an order to strengthen the vigilance of key departments, including the leadership of the corps, and prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall."

Mu Guoxing also understood what Shui Yidong meant. He was a preventive measure that Xi Binzhi took when people were relaxed in the morning and then ran around while they were running around.

Yu Jianyan was shouted in by Shui Yidong: "Captain Yu, you immediately organize forces to strengthen the vigilance of key departments such as the headquarters building, armory, etc. In addition, strictly protect the headquarters leaders of the corps. No one is allowed to enter and exit casually! This is the order of my political commissar and I, and I will be executed immediately and there must be no mistakes!"

Yu Jianyan's command sounded outside the door. With the sound of footsteps and the sound of the guns, there was no movement in a short while. Shui Yidong smiled and said, "Political Commissar, after strengthening the alert, Xi Binzhi can't escape. Let's go to the medical room together. After seeing Li Tie, it's best to arrest Xi Binzhi during this period before work. Try to keep the impact to the minimum range."

In the innermost observation room of the medical room, Li Tie was taking a bottle drip, and several medical staff were surrounding him. Seeing the captain and political commissar coming, they saluted and walked out of the observation room.

Li Tie struggled to sit up from the bed, but was stopped by Mu Guoxing: "Chief of Staff, don't get up, take good care of your injuries, and wait for us to go to the General Corps Hospital for a thorough examination. Knowing that you were injured in order to rescue public funds, the General Corps and I were very worried, so we will come to see you!"

Mu Guoxing swept Li Tie's waist with the flow, and nodded to Shui Yidong with an undetectable movement, meaning that he told Shui Yidong that Li Tie did not carry weapons with him.

"Thank you, the captain and the political commissar for visiting me. Actually, I have no major problems. I just choked by thick smoke. I wanted to go back just now, but these medical staff just disagreed and insisted on letting me observe here. There is really nothing I can do about them!"

Seeing Li Tie's honest appearance, Shui Yidong and Mu Guoxing could not equate him with a criminal who colluded with smugglers. The two of them were both sorry for Li Tie. It is indeed a very heartbreaking thing that such a colonel officer who has been educated by the Party for many years lost his bright future because of greed.

Shui Yidong and Mu Guoxing looked at each other, and saw Shui Yidong nodding. Mu Guoxing said, "Chief of Staff, there is a very bad news to inform you. While you are busy putting out the fire, the smuggling leader Xi Binzhi we just caught was let go while the chaos was in chaos. The person who let him go also injured two soldiers who were guarding him."

Li Tie sat up as he heard this, and asked the medical staff to pull out the needle for him, saying, "Captain, political commissar, it is not a trivial matter to run away such a big criminal. I want to personally arrange my strength to pursue him."

Mu Guoxing shook his head: "According to our preliminary investigation and analysis, Xi Binzhi has not yet run out of this compound. The commander and I have issued an order just now, strengthening our vigilance against the key departments of the headquarters compound and sending people to strictly protect the homes of all the leaders of the corps."

Mu Guoxing was carefully observing Li Tie while talking. Although Li Tie's expression looked calm, Mu Guoxing read a hint of panic from his eyes.
