For some reason, Ye Jian’s heart trembled suddenly; she raised her eyes to look at Director Cai, “The criminal’s eye? Are the criminals caught?”
Her voice was sharp and rushing that she didn’t even notice.
“Don’t worry, kid, drink some water and calm down.” Director Cai quickly got up and handed a warm cup to Ye Jian, “You need to listen to me slowly; we will look for a breakthrough together.”
Ye Jian squeezed the photo in her hand, and when she took the cup, her hand trembled lightly. She took a couple of sips, suppressed the huge grief in her heart, and asked in a hoarse voice, “I want to know this criminal. Did you catch him?”
“No. We didn’t manage to catch the criminal with the injured eye, and several criminals were killed at the scene. Later, when I heard that a comrade heard your mother yell a word in her native dialect, I went to look for that comrade, he told me that he mentioned this several times, but no one cared. Someone even went to his dormitory window and warned him not to mention it again.”
“And so from that day onwards till the day he was discharged, he never mentioned it again. He didn’t mention it again until I found him some time ago.”
Ye Jian closed her eyes lightly; a bloody face flashed in her mind,…Sun Yaozu, his eyes happened to be injured during the time her mother sacrificed.
Old Mrs. Ye also said that it was an accidental injury caused by work outside the factory, and the boss also paid a large amount of compensation for this. The villagers said that it was more than 100,000 or 200,000.
At that time, 100,000 or 200,000 was an astronomical figure for the villagers!
Hometown dialect, stabbing criminal in the eyes, Sun Yaozu…, recalling his fierce look when he stared at her after returning with an injured eye, that year he kicked her, and she passed out.
So it turned out to be like this!
She finally understood why Sun Yaozu hated her so much, why Old Mrs. Ye obviously hated her, and yet she had to pretend to be kind, and why she ran to school to make trouble during Ye Jian’s third year of high school and took photos of her parents with her with a look of fear.
Finally, she knew the reason!
She put the photo of the dagger back on the table. Ye Jian, who was still quite emotional just now, was so furious that her voice was terribly cold at this moment, “Can you do me a favor? I want to get the results of the organization on the dagger back then.”
Her changes were so great that Director Cai could not keep up with her; he could not help asking her, “What do you want the result for?”
“I want to compare it and see if it’s the same person.”
Her very low voice was full of extremely strong hostility. She could be so hostile and yet speak in a calm tone. This made Director Cai, a veteran who had seen the scene with his own eyes, shocked.
But his attention quickly turned away; his voice suppressed as he continued, “What did you think of.”
“I thought of something that coincided with my mother’s sacrifice, and it so happened that that dirty thing also injured his eye and wore a one-eye mask all day. He still wore a pair of black glasses now. I plan to meet him tomorrow; maybe I can take some tissue back and see if it’s matched.”
Director Cai sternly objected, “Nonsense! Once you are discovered, Ye Jian, your future will be ruined! Tell me the suspect, and I’ll handle the rest.”
She was the only blood of “Red Plum” in this world; he had to protect her.
“You can’t stop me, and I have to do it myself.” Ye Jian shook her head, only with an undoubted determination in her indifferent expression, “I can only rest assured if I do it myself.”
