Chapter 155: Outrageous Witness
When Qin Yecheng got so angry, Zhang Jiacheng was a little afraid to look him in the face.
Seeing this, the other army commanders on the side hurriedly pulled Qin Yecheng to persuade him.
"Lao Qin, don't get excited, let's talk it over."
"Yes, you and Commander Xiao Qin are both heroes of our Northern Military Region."
"Everyone knows how many victories you have won, and we will definitely not wrongly accuse you!"
"That's right. If both you and your son betray the people, there will be no one in this world who can be trusted."
Seeing that everyone believed in Qin Yecheng and his son, Zhang Jiacheng felt a little dissatisfied.
He moved his mouth twice and wanted to say a few words in rebuttal.
The head of the military affairs group said sternly, "Comrades, you may raise your opinions, but please control your emotions."
"Please also remain rational and refrain from making blind, unfounded speculations that hurt the feelings of fellow comrades."
Qin Chen nodded after hearing this.
"Comrade Investigator, I have something to say about Commander Zhang's accusations."
When Qin Chen spoke, those in charge of the investigation nodded.
Only then did he say, "The gunshot wound on Battalion Commander Zhang Jiazhu's arm was indeed caused by me."
"It was simply because when we arrived at the plains, we saw Battalion Commander Zhang fighting with Comrade Zhang Shuang, and he was even trying to shoot Comrade Zhang Shuang with a gun."
"I was in a moment of desperation, so I shot and injured Battalion Commander Zhang. My only thought at the time was to prevent tragedy."
"The wound on Captain Zhang's stomach was also caused by an accidental discharge of a pistol during their struggle."
"After all, the military doctor should have examined it and knew that the gunshot wound to Captain Zhang's stomach came from his own service rifle."
"Then I would like to ask, since Comrade Zhang Shuang is a reactionary and our enemy."
"How could she attack Comrade Zhang Jiazhu when we were outnumbered and had no weapons at all?"
"That's right!"
Qin Chen grasped the key point, and Shen Yao nodded.
"According to normal human logic, a person would never challenge a powerful opponent when they are in a weak position."
"Moreover, Commander Zhang and Battalion Commander Zhang said that they discovered Comrade Zhang Shuang's reactionary identity and went to arrest him."
"Didn't they report to the military district leaders before taking action?"
"So is this considered a private action, or is there some ulterior motive?"
The Zhang brothers' reasons are indeed untenable.
The more Huang Ming listened, the more he felt that there was something wrong with them, so he frowned.
The comrades from the Military Affairs Group and the Supervision Group repeatedly reviewed the materials they submitted and couldn't help but frown.
"These documents have indeed been manipulated, but it's somewhat arbitrary to use them to prove there's something wrong with Comrade Zhang Shuang."
"Ah."
The comrades in the supervision group also nodded.
"Then I'd like to ask Comrade Zhang Shuang, since you are Zhang Jiachuan's biological daughter, why did you tamper with your identity in the file?"
"If it's not for some other purpose, what's your starting point for doing this?"
It turned out that Zhang Jiacheng and the others had dug up this matter. Shen Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she quickly looked at Qin Chen.
After all, in order to protect Zhang Shuang, she begged Qin Chen to do this!
Although this matter is not very serious, it is still a violation of discipline.
Just when Shen Yao was nervous, Qin Chen took the initiative to admit it.
"Reporting to all leaders, I was the one who tampered with Comrade Zhang Shuang's file!"
Qin Chen's frank admission confused everyone present.
When Zhang Shuang heard this, he hurried to explain.
"Commander Qin helped me change my file to protect me."
"Because ever since I was kicked out of the Zhang family by the Zhang brothers, they have been tracking my whereabouts and want to wipe out the roots."
"Comrade Shen Yao got to know me and learned about this situation, so she asked Commander Qin for help."
"That's right!"
After Zhang Shuang said this, Shen Yao also stood up.
"Dear leaders, it was indeed wrong for us to tamper with the files, but we had no choice but to do so."
"After all, Commander Zhang and Battalion Commander Zhang hold high positions in the military. If we want to save Comrade Zhang Shuang's life, we have no choice but to resort to this last resort."
"I have violated military discipline, and I am willing to bear the consequences alone!"
Seeing Shen Yao step forward to take responsibility, Qin Chen stopped her and planned to take the responsibility himself.
But when Political Commissar Huang heard these words, he was so angry that he slapped the table.
"Nonsense, you are just fooling around!"
As soon as Political Commissar Huang finished speaking, Zhang Jiacheng laughed.
"Commissar, I've made it very clear."
"Qin Yecheng and his son are in cahoots with Zhang Shuang, otherwise why would they help her change her file?"
"Besides, Zhang Shuang is my niece. As her uncle, why should I kill her? Their excuse is so far-fetched!"
As soon as Zhang Jiacheng said this, everyone present changed their expressions again.
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not knowing who was telling the truth and who was lying.
And just at this moment, the head of the inspection team spoke.
"How dare you tamper with the army!"
When Zhang Jiazhu heard this, he proudly agreed on the spot.
"Yes, you are so bold!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the person in charge glared at him.
"I'm talking about you two brothers, you're simply lawless!"
After saying that, he threw the documents in his hand heavily onto the table.
"Not only do we have letters from the Zhang family here, they also confirm that you two brothers expelled Comrade Zhang Shuang from the family and wanted to eradicate him completely."
"And the comrades from the various military regions and divisions you contacted, please sign the results of your investigation into Zhang Shuang's whereabouts."
"Even the two captured officers of the Luo Kingdom accused you of instigating the killing of Comrade Shen Yao on the battlefield!"
"At that time, you must have thought that Comrade Shen Yao was Comrade Zhang Shuang, so you were determined to kill her at all costs, right?"
Zhang Jiacheng and Zhang Jiazhu never imagined that Qin Chen and the others would produce so much evidence in just a few days!
Even the Zhang family, who were thousands of miles away, had someone write a letter and send it over!
He was extremely shocked and immediately refuted: "Impossible, this must be a misunderstanding!"
After saying that, he turned back to look at Huang Ming and continued explaining.
"Commissar, this evidence must be fake!"
"I have never done these things. They are the ones who want to frame us two brothers!"
Seeing his panic, Qin Yecheng sneered.
"If the evidence you produced is false, then you claim that the evidence produced by others is also false."
"Zhang Jiacheng, ah Zhang Jiacheng, you are so shameless!"
Just when Qin Yecheng and Zhang Jiacheng were arguing with each other, Shen Yao subconsciously turned around to look at Qin Chen.
"Did you prepare these evidences early on?"
Otherwise, how could the Zhang family's letter be delivered in just a few days?
"Ah."
Qin Chen nodded at Shen Yao with a faint smile on his face.
"Even when you asked me to help Zhang Shuang tamper with the files, I knew this day would come."
"So I sent someone back to their hometown to collect a lot of evidence, just so we can be prepared if something happens."
He was so prepared for a rainy day. Shen Yao was more or less touched when she heard this!
Just when Shen Yao's anxious heart finally settled down because of Qin Chen's preparation.
An angry Zhang Jiacheng glared at Qin Yecheng and said word by word, "You two, father and son, are so scheming. You spared no effort to protect this reactionary."
"In that case, don't blame me for disregarding our comrades-in-arms relationship and embarrassing you!"
After saying this, Zhang Jiacheng looked at the comrades in the military affairs group again.
"I request that a witness come forward to testify."
When the comrades from the Military Affairs Group and the Supervision Group heard that Zhang Jiacheng was looking for witnesses to come forward, they had already begun to doubt his evidence.
But considering that he had been in the army for so many years, I still agreed to his request.
After a while, Zhang Jiacheng's so-called witness was brought in from the door.
When the Qin family father and son saw this man, they were stunned on the spot.
Especially when Shen Yao saw this person, her face instantly became ugly!
