Upon hearing that he was going to be sentenced, Xu Sheng hurriedly explained.

"No, sir, listen to me, I am not selling arms privately, I have obtained permission from the Yanjing Military Region."

"Are you saying you got so scared that you started talking nonsense?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Song and the others looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

Is this Xu Sheng frightened silly and starting to talk nonsense?

Would the Yanjing Military Region approve him to sell arms to foreign countries? This is simply a fantasy!

"What I said is true, leader. If you don't believe me, you can check. When I transported this batch of arms out of the country, I took the inspection exemption documents from the military district."

Even though Xu Sheng was transferred here by the International Criminal Investigation Department, he was not too panicked because he knew that the military district would back him up.

This is something that has been approved by the military district, so it naturally cannot be the same as ordinary arms trafficking.

"Why would the military district allow you to sell arms for no reason? Young man, do you think we are so easy to fool?

Or do you think that if you move out of the military zone, we won't dare to do anything to you?"

The assistant director spoke in a cold voice and stared at Xu Sheng sharply.

Xu Sheng was frightened by the other party's eyes, but what he said was indeed the truth, so he still spoke firmly.

"I didn't lie. Everything I said was true. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate. When I transported this batch of arms out of the country, I took the inspection exemption documents issued by the military region.

Otherwise, I would not be able to successfully transport such a large amount of arms without escaping customs inspection."

"This"

The assistant director, who had originally had a firm attitude, was stunned when he heard this.

Then he turned and looked at Cheng Song beside him.

Cheng Song received his gaze and naturally understood what he meant.

What Xu Sheng said does make sense. It would be extremely difficult to transport such a large amount of arms out of the country.

Not only does it have to go through customs, but it also needs to go through multiple inspections by many departments in Longguo.

However, if you have the inspection exemption document from the military district, you can indeed transport the items out smoothly without going through inspection.

But the most crucial thing is, how could the military district agree to allow someone to sell arms out of the country?
Seeing that the people opposite him were silent, Xu Sheng suddenly panicked.

"Leaders, if you don't believe me, you can go and investigate. What I said is true. In my situation, there is no need for me to lie like this!"

What Xu Sheng said made sense. After hearing it, Cheng Song looked at him silently for two seconds.

Then he stood up and left the interrogation room.

After leaving the house, he immediately called the National Security Bureau and asked them to investigate Xu Sheng's departure from the country a few days ago.

Seeing Cheng Song coming out, people from the International Criminal Investigation Department also came forward to inquire about the situation.

"Director Cheng, what's the situation? Did Xu Sheng confess?"

Chen Long looked at Cheng Song's complicated expression and couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Song walked to a chair nearby and sat down, still thinking about what Xu Sheng had just said.

"That Xu Sheng actually said that this batch of arms was sold to the outside world at the instruction of the Yanjing military."

"What? How is this possible!"

Hearing this, the usually calm Chen Long's face changed in shock.

How could the Yanjing military authorize the sale of arms abroad?

This was simply the most ridiculous joke he had ever heard!

Cheng Song snorted coldly: "Who said it wasn't? But what he said is very convincing. I have asked the National Security Bureau to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."

After hearing this, Chen Long nodded silently, thinking that it was really funny that Xu Sheng was still telling such an unrealistic lie at this time.

How could such a lie be hidden from the National Security Bureau?
Xu Sheng left the country just a few days ago, and the National Security Bureau is extremely efficient.

Soon, Cheng Song received their investigation results.

However, what shocked Cheng Song was that the goods transported by Xu Sheng when he left the country actually had inspection exemption documents from the military district!

Therefore, this batch of arms left the country directly without going through customs inspection.

Cheng Song was stunned. How could it be possible? The military district actually approved Xu Sheng to sell arms abroad? !

What on earth is the Yanjing Military Region doing?
Not only Cheng Song was stunned, but also the people from the International Criminal Investigation Department were stunned.

Wow, Xu Sheng didn’t lie, he really had the approval of the Yanjing Military Region!
Today, the people from the International Criminal Investigation Department were really eye-opening!
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Song called Chen Yuliang, the head of the Yanjing Military Region.

Ask him to come to the National Security Bureau as soon as possible, there is an urgent matter that requires his cooperation in the investigation.

He would like to ask Chen Yuliang in person why he made such an outrageous decision!

At the same time, in the Yanjing Military Region in the suburbs of Yanjing City.

In the administrative building, Chen Yuliang was handling various affairs in his office as usual.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.

"Jingle Bell--!"

Chen Yuliang didn't even raise his head, his eyes continued to stare at the documents in his hand, and he reached out to answer the phone.

"Hello, who is this?" After two seconds, Chen Yuliang heard the answer from the other end of the phone. He immediately put down the documents in his hand and asked again in disbelief.

"Director Cheng of the National Security Bureau?"

"Yes, it's me. I'm at the International Criminal Investigation Office in Yanjing right now. There's something very urgent, and I need you, Chief Chen, to come over and assist in the investigation."

Hearing Cheng Song's calm voice on the phone, Chen Yuliang did not ask any more questions and responded immediately.

"Okay, I understand, I'll go there now."

After saying that, Cheng Song hung up the phone first.

Chen Yuliang couldn't help but murmur in his heart as he heard the busy tone on the phone.

What on earth was going on that required their Yanjing Military Region to cooperate in the investigation?
However, since the director of the National Security Bureau had to come personally from the capital to Yanjing, it must be no small matter.

So Chen Yuliang immediately put aside the matters at hand.

He asked Zhang Chao to accompany him and rushed to the Yanjing City International Criminal Investigation Office.

In the lounge of the International Criminal Investigation Office, Cheng Song was waiting for the arrival of Chen Yuliang, who had just finished an interrogation.

After more than ten minutes, Chen Yuliang did not appear, but the navy representatives came first. After receiving the news from the National Security Bureau, the navy responded quickly and sent political commissar Jiang Li to come. Jiang Li was entrusted by the captain Kong Changyuan to drive directly from the ship to Yanjing, and arrived at the destination in just one hour.

"Hello, Director Cheng." Jiang Li greeted politely.

"Political Commissar Jiang, thank you for your hard work." Cheng Song responded. He had been in contact with the navy before and was not surprised by Jiang Li's arrival.

After a brief greeting, Jiang Li got straight to the point: "Director Cheng, where is the person who sold arms to the Hei Luo Organization that you mentioned on the phone now?"

"In the interrogation room, Political Commissar Jiang can come with me to the observation room to take a look." Cheng Song said, and took Jiang Li to the observation room.

Through the one-way glass, Jiang Li saw Xu Sheng being interrogated. He was surprised to find that this so-called "military industry tycoon" was so young, looking only in his twenties.

"Director Cheng, is this the military industry tycoon you found? He looks too young, how is this possible!" Jiang Li asked in disbelief.

Cheng Song briefly explained the situation and said, "The weapons sold by the other party are exactly the same as those in the hands of the Hei Luo Organization. This matter must be related to the arms trafficking case. And this Xu Sheng is probably the subordinate of the real military industry boss, who is only responsible for transportation."

Jiang Li nodded and then asked, "Did he reveal the person behind this?"

Cheng Song smiled bitterly and said, "He confessed that the Yanjing Military Region was behind this and that the arms sales were approved by the military region. This is absolutely ridiculous!"

"Yanjing Military Region? How is this possible!" Jiang Li was also shocked.

Cheng Song continued, "It does sound unbelievable, but Xu Sheng claimed that they had the inspection exemption documents from the Yanjing Military Region, which allowed them to pass through customs smoothly. I have asked the National Security Bureau to verify it, and it is true."

Jiang Li's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his doubts became even greater. At this moment, the door of the observation room was knocked, and a policeman came in to inform them that the people from the Yanjing Military Region had arrived.

"Okay, let them take the man to the lounge first." Cheng Song ordered, then turned to Jiang Li and said, "Let's go ask Commander Chen of the Yanjing Military Region what's going on."

The two walked out of the observation room and went to the lounge to meet Chen Yuliang. At this time, Chen Yuliang had hurried over with Zhang Chao and was talking to the police officers from the International Criminal Investigation Office.

Seeing Cheng Song and Jiang Li, Chen Yuliang immediately stepped forward to greet them: "Director Cheng, Political Commissar Jiang, hello. I am Chen Yuliang, the head of the Yanjing Military Region."

Cheng Song and Jiang Li shook hands with Chen Yuliang respectively, and then Cheng Song directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Chief Chen, I asked you to come here this time because there is an important international arms smuggling case that requires your assistance in investigating. Our Ministry of State Security has intervened and successfully captured the suspect."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuliang's expression immediately became serious: "International arms smuggling? This is no small matter. But why does our Yanjing Military Region need to cooperate in the investigation?"

Cheng Song said slowly: "The suspect has confessed that he dared to sell arms because he got the permission from your Yanjing Military Region. Therefore, I asked you to come here, hoping that you can help us find out the truth."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuliang was stunned, with shock and disbelief written all over his face. "Did our Yanjing Military Region instruct this? This is absolutely impossible! How could our military region do such a thing! If we knew someone was selling arms, we would definitely arrest them immediately. How could we approve and instruct them to transport arms!"

After witnessing Chen Yuliang's reaction, Cheng Song also firmly believed that the Yanjing Military Region would never get involved in such illegal activities. After all, the discipline of the military region is as strict as that of the Ministry of State Security. How could they break the law knowingly?

However, Cheng Song still spoke slowly and explained the whole story one by one: "At first, we were also skeptical. But the other party was very sure and claimed that it was your military region that gave the inspection exemption, so it was able to pass through customs smoothly. Later, I sent someone to check and found that the arms were indeed allowed to leave the country because of the inspection exemption document from the military region. Therefore, I specially asked you, Chief Chen, to come here."

Chen Yuliang frowned upon hearing this. Their military region did have the power to issue documents for exemption from inspection, but it was usually only used in special circumstances. How could they approve a request to transport arms out of the country? This was simply a fantasy!

Just when both of them were confused, Zhang Chao suddenly asked, "Could it be that the other party forged the exemption documents to make them look real?"

After this, Chen Yuliang and Cheng Song turned to look at Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao continued to analyze, "Recently, soldiers from various military regions have been on leave and going home, and many of them have brought with them the inspection exemption instructions from the military region. The other party may have taken advantage of this opportunity to forge an inspection exemption document that is so real that it can be mistaken for a fake one."

After hearing Zhang Chao's analysis, Cheng Song and Chen Yuliang both felt that it made sense. At this time, the door of the lounge was knocked, and an assistant of Cheng Song came in and reported: "Director Cheng, the other party confessed and said that he has another online."

Cheng Song's face changed, and he quickly asked: "Online? Did he tell us who that person is?"

"I've already told you, and he's currently in Yanjing," the assistant replied.

Cheng Song nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Don't alert the enemy yet. Find a way to lure the person over here, so that we can avoid hurting innocent people and make it easier for us to capture him in one fell swoop."

The assistant took the order and went back to the interrogation room to ask Xu Sheng to call his superior to bring him in. Under the watchful eyes of the National Security Bureau personnel, Xu Sheng had no choice but to pick up his phone and call Jiang Chen.

After the call was connected, Xu Sheng felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw when he heard Jiang Chen's voice. He followed the instructions of the National Security Bureau personnel and lied that something happened to him in Yanjing and asked Jiang Chen to pick him up. Although Jiang Chen was a little impatient, he still agreed to Xu Sheng's request.

Upon learning that Jiang Chen was coming, Cheng Song immediately asked the accompanying Ministry of State Security personnel to prepare. At the same time, the police from the International Criminal Investigation Department also assisted by being on the side, ready to capture Jiang Chen as soon as he arrived.

At the same time, after Jiang Chen at Yanjing University hung up the phone, although he was surprised by Xu Sheng's request, he decided to go to the place Xu Sheng mentioned. He didn't know that he was walking step by step into a carefully laid trap.

Jiang Chen was used to entering and exiting from the back door of Yanjing University. Although it was inconvenient to take a taxi there, he still skillfully entered the address provided by Xu Sheng into the taxi-hailing app without further investigation into where that place was.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the destination. After Jiang Chen got off the car, his eyes fell on the doorplate and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "International Criminal Investigation Office?" He frowned, his heart full of doubts. Why is Xu Sheng here? Did he get into trouble abroad and was arrested as soon as he returned? Or was the address he gave wrong?

Jiang Chen took out his cell phone and tried to contact Xu Sheng again, but no one answered the call. In desperation, he decided to go directly to the International Criminal Investigation Office to find out.

At this time, inside the International Criminal Investigation Office, the police from the Ministry of State Security and the International Criminal Investigation Office were already on high alert, and Cheng Song, Jiang Li, Chen Yuliang and others were also waiting in the hall. They were all waiting for the legendary military industry boss, who was also Xu Sheng's superior.

When Jiang Chen walked into the hall, Cheng Song and others immediately noticed him. Cheng Song saw Jiang Chen's young face and couldn't help but wonder: How could this young man be Xu Sheng's superior, not to mention a military industry boss?

When Chen Yuliang saw Jiang Chen, he exclaimed: "Jiang Chen? Why are you here?" (End of this chapter)
