Chapter 11: The Funeral
The streets were full of people, and a convoy was driving on the highway, with a coffin in a white cloth strip and draped in the national flag, neatly and neatly.
Vehicles one after another, military vehicles, private cars, all followed, leaders, brothers, comrades-in-arms, relatives, friends, all attended the funeral.
In front of a cemetery, everyone mourned in silence, a mother and daughter hugged the coffin and cried bitterly, reluctant to let go, hugged tightly, and there was only a black ash folded old military uniform in the coffin.
A wife loses her husband, a daughter loses her father, and for those who attend the funeral, they lose a loved one, a close friend, a brother.
The closest people began to put incense to tell their thoughts, soldiers began to incense, the comradeship of birth and death, a strong and sad military salute.
The friend began to offer incense, "Please mourn." ”
"Thank you."
Everyone who put on the incense, mother and daughter, said, "Thank you." ”
Grief is spreading, and in this cemetery, the funerals of the four soldiers who died are being held at the same time on the other side, and their relatives are also in grief and pain. The most heard were crying.
Yang Zhe and Elder Bande were both at the funeral, watching the people who attended the funeral go to mourn one by one, everyone's eyes were red.
Blonde hair, swollen blue eyes, a face full of pain and tears, this is a middle-aged woman, not very good-looking, with rough hands, indicating that she often does chores, and for the wife of a high-ranking officer, it shows their poverty.
The daughter is very beautiful, with sapphire eyes, very charming, and the golden double ponytail is neatly combed to the waist. Tall and seductive, this is a stunning beautiful girl. But Yang Zhe didn't have the slightest distraction, when it was his turn, he walked over heavily, silently finished the incense, looked at their crying faces, and couldn't say anything. He bowed his head and silently walked back to where he was standing.
I'm so bad, Yang Zhe thought in his heart, even if he couldn't say a word of mourning, there seemed to be something stuck in his throat, he couldn't say it, he couldn't swallow it.
The funeral was still underway, and a group of senior officers attending the funeral were talking about something in the distance.
Sir, the clue is broken, only to know that Major Tony went to a trade center before his death and used his privilege to check the transaction records, where the daily transaction volume reached 100,000 pieces of information, and there is no way to trace whether he is checking an individual, a group, or international trade.
A general scolded: "If you can't find it, you have to check it, he is a soldier I brought out, and I was born and died, and I saved Lao Tzu's life, I can't let him die in vain." ”
Another general said: "Go to the port of Liaoning to check, Tony is rushing to the road to destroy the corpses, where the horse's feet will definitely be exposed." ”
The military told them not to think that they would get away with destroying the corpses. Those who dare to kill the military in the capital will refuse to tolerate even if they find the ends of the earth.
It was already dark and the funeral was complete. People are scattered. There were almost no one in the back. Tony's wife, who had fainted from grief, had now been taken to the hospital. A figure stood on the tombstone for a long time.
Yang Zhe looked at her back, plucked up the courage and walked over, I should say something, said in my heart.
The rustling of leaves, the wind, the farther and farther the coins on the ground, and the distance between the two people became closer and closer. When the leaves and the paper reached Yang Zhe's feet and flew away, the other party spoke.
"I know who you are, that you killed my father." Hela said coldly, and she could feel the hatred in her tone.
Yang Zhe stopped, his face was embarrassed, "I didn't kill him, but he did die because of me." ”
The girl turned her head and couldn't stop crying, watching Yang Zhe squat down and caress the tombstone.
"My father is retiring, because of the torture of illness, because you he took on the last task."
Yang Zhe finally learned that Tony had severe physical injuries due to the war and could not be treated, and he needed to take a lot of painkillers every day, and Tony would officially retire if he was sent back to the academy.
"If it makes you feel better, I don't mind." Yang Zhe walked over and looked at her back and said.
"Do you think you're cool? I don't need your sympathy. ”
Hela was directly furious, and it was a slap in the face when she stood up and looked back.
"Smack"
This slap directly blinded Yang Zhe, the speed was too fast, and he didn't expect her to do it directly.
"I'll forgive you for being irrational today, if you go on like this, those who killed Uncle Tony will only laugh secretly in the back."
Yang Zhe held back his anger at her, his face turned red, and he looked at the tombstone behind Hela, and his heart, which should have been turbulent, returned to calm.
"I also have a father, I understand what you do, but if you blindly put the fault on me, then what's the difference between you and those bad people."
After speaking, Yang Zhe bowed to the tombstone and left.
"Yang Zhe, I hate you, I don't want to see you get out of here again."
Hela felt insulted and roared hoarsely, out of step with her simple and lovely appearance.
Yang Zhe paused for a moment and didn't look back to continue walking, and there was no point in turning around and arguing with her now. And today is in front of Uncle Tony's tombstone, I know that Uncle Tony loves her the most, what can I do if I win the quarrel, and the dead will not be resurrected.
At this moment he was very calm.
It's already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the rows of street lights on the side of the road are brightly lit.
There was only one military vehicle on the road, driving alone, surrounded by suburbs, and they were returning to the center of the capital center, with two people sitting in the car.
"What did you find today?"
Yang Zhe looked out the window and asked.
"Nothing," Elder Bender said slowly, leaning back in his chair.
"Could it be the military, after all, my father was a veteran, and I know that he has been refusing aid from the military."
Elder Bender shook his head and began to explain patiently.
"Although we have been hiding from the military, there is no need for the military to take away your father, as long as the military intends to give an order, we will be demobilized."
The car was quiet for a while, and Elder Bender looked at the driver and said, "He helped me find a clue, but it's not your father's, but there is a connection." ”
Yang Zhe was still a little disappointed at first, his father disappeared but he couldn't find any information, and now there is news even a little, so he quickly asked.
"Tell me, what did you find?"
Elder Bande looked at Yang Nan with an excited expression and sighed.
"Someone also disappeared 3 years ago, and he was your father's comrade-in-arms, and he lived in Aquamarine."
The car stopped at the gate of the academy, Yang Zhe got out of the car alone, said goodbye to Elder Bande, and looked at the military vehicle until the headlights disappeared into the corner.
Yang Zhe remembered that the person who disappeared 3 years ago was named Li Yi, who was also his father's comrade-in-arms.
As for the clues to Uncle Tony's death, Elder Bender told him that the military would deal with it.
Yang Zhe calmed his heart for a moment, and as he walked, he recalled the content of yesterday's conversation with Elder Bander to see if there were any clues.
Elder Bender: "The night you left, I went to your father's house to consult with him, and the door was open, and there was no one in the house, and I called my name a few times, but no one answered me, and then I waited until dawn, and I didn't see your father. After that, I mobilized the people of Yangjiaping to find it until the next morning, but they did not find it. ”
This is the original words of Elder Bander, damn there is no clue, Yang Zhe began to recall the second paragraph,
Elder Bender: "Your father's house is not missing anything, there is no fighting, the bed is neatly covered, there are no notes, there is only a bowl on the table, and bone broth is boiling on the fire. ”
"Are you sure there's nothing missing?"
Elder Bender scolded, "Your family is so poor, and I didn't know that your father and you were both grown up in my childhood. ”
Yang Zhe became embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up a bowl of water and handed it over, "You dissipate your anger, don't be angry." ”
The memories are over, and I finally found it, why didn't I find it yesterday, because I wasn't calm enough?
My father didn't like to drink bone broth because he would vomit, as if it was related to the fact that he went to war when he was young, and he didn't like to eat meat and vomited. Bone broth is my favorite, because the meat is too expensive to buy and there will be unclean meat on the bones, so in order for me to grow my body, my father will buy a pound of bones a week and come back to stew soup.
Someone has been to my house, boiled bone broth by himself, and knew my father, otherwise it would be impossible to swagger and drink soup, there are so many households in Yangjiaping, someone must have seen it.
Yang Zhe immediately took out the black and red rose card and ran to the communicator and told Elder Bande about this discovery.
