Opening the folder, she saw a photo of a young woman in an old-fashioned military uniform. She was very familiar with this person. This was… her mother. Even though she had only been with her for less than four years, she would always rember how gentle she looked when she told her stories.
Even after another lifeti, her mories were still vivid.
The lounge room was so quiet that no one seed to exist. Not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Commissioner Cai looked at Ye Jian, who was flipping through the book carefully. When she flipped to the second page, he said in a low voice, "…The mission back then was indeed a mission with no return. Soone used their position to collude with the dark forces. It was easy to open the country's borders and gain profits from it.
"When your mother received the mission, she probably knew that the odds were against her. Before she left, she told us that she had a daughter in her hotown. If she didn't co back, she asked us to take care of her.
"Back then, we had no way of finding out who exactly used their position to open up the country's borders and participate in smuggling and drug trafficking. With our capabilities, we couldn't find out who the other party was. Family scandals couldn't be made public. It's the sa for national scandals. Most of these activities were executed secretly."
That era was when everything started to evolve. So people couldn't keep true to their principles and couldn't resist the temptation of money. They started to violate their vows and walked step by step toward sin.
"Look at what your mother's comrade said. He said that your mother used her hotown dialect to shout soone's na before she died. Then, she was ambushed and shot in the chest.
"She was sacrificed just like this…" Commissioner Cai suddenly stopped talking. He silently took out a brown envelope from the other compartnt of his briefcase. He placed it on the coffee table and slowly pushed it to Ye Jian. "…Ye Jian, take a look."
As if she knew what it was, Ye Jian retracted her hand suddenly. She glanced at Commissioner Cai, whose expression was dark, and clenched her fist. When she unclenched her hand, she quickly picked up the envelope as if she had made up her mind.
There was a photo inside. Even after more than ten years, the colors were still so bright. It was a bright red flag with so blue leaves. Ye Jian's eyes were filled with tears. She moved her lips. "…This is the photo of my mother when she was sacrificed, right?
She's the one lying under the flag, right?"
"Yes, child. The person lying under the flag is Martyr Sun Xueqing. This was taken after she was sacrificed."
Commissioner Cai's voice was filled with sorrow. It had been more than ten years since he last ntioned his comrade who had saved his life. The ntion of her sacrifice still made him feel sad.
Tears slowly rolled down from her eyes. Ye Jian stared at the photo and sobbed.
The entire flag was over her mother, covering her from head to toe. Only the faint outline of her body was visible. She couldn't see her mother's face or her mother's body, but she could see… the blood on the red flag.
"Martyr Sun Xueqing's comrade who was on a mission with her said that she shouted sothing in her hotown dialect. It was very short, and it sounded like she was shouting soone's na. Unfortunately, there were so many bullets being fired at that ti, so he couldn't replicate what your mother said.
"Look at the second photo… The second photo is a little bloody. It's a blood-stained combat dagger. When I retrieved the tissue on the combat dagger, I realized that it's tissue from the human eye.
"Which ans your mother used this combat dagger to stab a criminal in the eye before she was sacrificed."
