2861 Breakthrough Of The Case
He really didn’t have any impression of this senior colonel. It had been 23 years. He hadn’t even seen this photo before. For a moment, he couldn’t remember who this senior colonel was.
Then, Commander Xia pointed at the female soldier standing side by side with the senior colonel. There was a soldier between them. “What about her? Do you remember her?”
“Her cap is pressed too low, so I can’t see her appearance…” Major General Yang looked at the female soldier carefully. Suddenly, a young face flashed past his mind.
Major General Yang was so shocked that he raised his head abruptly. “No wonder I keep feeling that Ye Jian looks familiar! Commander-in-chief, look at this female soldier. Look at her facial features. Does Ye Jian look like her?”
That meant that he had some impression of her.
Commander Xia took out another one-inch black and white photo. “Does she look like this person?”
“That’s right, that’s right. The photo in your hand is this female soldier with the brim of her cap lowered! I finally remember why I find Ye Jian familiar. This, this, this…” Major General Yang took the inch-sized black and white photo and asked in disbelief, “Could this be Ye Jian’s mother? Martyr Sun Xueqing, who was sacrificed more than 20 years ago?”
“That’s right. This is Martyr Sun Xueqing. You took a photo with her before she died. Think about why you took a photo with Martyr Sun Xueqing back then and why you took a photo with this senior colonel.
“I looked at your resume. When you took this photo, you were transferred to the port in the Southern Province.”
Major General Yang felt that something was amiss. He nodded and said, “At that time, I was just transferred to the border defense company at the Southern Province port. I became a small platoon leader there.
“But I didn’t work there for long. In less than half a year, I received another transfer order. At that time, I thought that I had done something wrong. I was still very nervous when I went to look for the company commander of the border defense company…
“At that time, the company commander of the border defense company at the port told me that it wasn’t because he was dissatisfied with my work ability but because he wanted to give me a position that was more suitable for me. A senior colonel from the army suggested transferring me to this position.”
The lid of the past opened, and memories surged out like a tide. Major General Yang also remembered why he took a photo with Martyr Sun Xueqing and this senior colonel.
“If I remember correctly, this senior colonel’s surname should be Li. As for Martyr Sun Xueqing, she came with this senior colonel to take over my job.
“I actually forgot about this. It’s really…” Major General Yang slapped his forehead and shook his head with a smile. “It looks like I’m fated with the female soldier, Ye Jian. It’s only right for her to be a special forces soldier in the Xueyu unit.”
“Back then, you were the platoon leader of the border defense company. You were in charge of inspecting the import and export goods at the port with the customs. How many times did you see this senior colonel in the half a year you were in office? How many times did you see Martyr Sun Xueqing?
“Old Yang, remember well. You must think carefully before answering.”
This photo was the only evidence that Sun Xueqing had worked with Li Chuhai before. It also meant that Sun Xueqing knew Li Chuhai when she was alive!
Major General Yang looked at the group photo that he had forgotten about. He rubbed the photo with his fingers and recalled his days at the port.
After a while, Major General Yang frowned and said, “I’m not sure if he came to the port often… However, a sentinel on duty said something to me. He said that he saw the senior colonel coming over.
“It’s been too long. I can’t remember the original words, but that’s the gist of it.”
