Thorn Bird. Until now, Zhan Junlin only knew this code name. He knew nothing else about Thorn Bird.

He also didn't expect that there were survivors on the ship at that time, and people who had seen the thorn bird before its sacrifice.

"Last words? What last words could he have? His final reaction was disappointment and despair." Feng Yin laughed wildly, "Zhan Junlin, don't think about clearing yourself. You were the one who killed the thorn bird. Our ship has already left the coast. If you don't give the order to sink it, we can leave.

It was obviously you. You were eager to make a contribution. You didn't want to let us go and were willing to let a policeman die with us. Then you said that his identity was exposed here and we killed him first, and then you gave the order to sink the ship. Bullshit!

Before you gave the order to sink the ship, Thornbird was still alive. He was killed by you. I had no ability to predict and I did not jump off the ship in advance. I was lucky to survive, but Thornbird died. He died a tragic death.

Zhan Junlin, didn’t you dream about him these years? Didn’t he come back to you in your dreams? Didn’t he appear bloody at your bedside and come to you in the middle of the night to take your life? Hahahahaha!”

Faced with Feng Yin's rampant clamor, Zhan Junlin really wanted to kill him, but reason told him that he couldn't. He couldn't become like this group of people, and he could never wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep!

"You wanted to see me today just to say this?"

"Of course not only that." Feng Yin's expression turned sinister, and he continued, "I want to tell you that not only did you kill an innocent policeman, but you also caused his family members great pain. You have been promoted step by step over the years, but the family members of Thornbird have had a miserable life."

The family of the thorn bird? The thorn bird has a family?

"What do you know? Where are Thornbird's family? Tell me, where are his family?"

"Why are you so excited? Don't you know that he has family members? Stop pretending, Zhan Junlin, haven't you been living a stable life these years? Aren't you happily enjoying the glory brought to you by your military rank?

I met you today for no other reason than to see you. I wanted to see what you look like in a military uniform with a beastly heart. Actually, you are the same kind of people as us. No, you are much more cruel than us. We don't kill our own people, but you did it!

Zhan Junlin, you are a scum among soldiers, you are not worthy of being a human being at all, you killed the thorn bird and made its family live such a miserable life, but you did not care about it at all, just lived your own life freely and carefree, you are a real cold-blooded animal, you are not a human being, hahahahaha!"

After hearing this, Zhan Junlin really couldn't control himself and wanted to take action. Jin Linfeng, who saw this scene in the monitoring room, hurried in and stopped Zhan Junlin.

"Jun Lin, don't make any mistakes."

"Go ahead, Zhan Junlin. I can't fight back now. Come on, why don't you hit me?"

Feng Yin was deliberately provoking Zhan Junlin, and Jin Linfeng hurriedly stopped him. Zhan Junlin left the interrogation room first. After walking out, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Xue Xiao. Now Xue Xiao is the chief of staff of the 38A Group Army and is still his superior.

"Hey, Junlin, I was just about to call you when your phone rang."

"Then let me talk about my business first."

"What's the hurry? Tell me."

"About the thorn-bird."

Thornbird?

Xue Xiao knew that this matter had always been a thorn in his heart, but so many years had passed, why was he bringing it up again?

"Why are you talking about him again?"

"I just heard today that Thornbird has a family. That's not what you told me back then. You said Thornbird was an orphan and he didn't have any family."

Hearing Feng Yin say this, Zhan Junlin's heart was really stabbed. He was really angry, "Commander, how could you lie to me about this?"

"Who told you he had a family? Someone from the police?"

"Don't worry about who it is. Just answer me, did you lie to me?"

Xue Xiao didn't expect that this matter would be brought up again, so he had to tell the truth: "Okay, since it has been brought up again, I will tell you the truth. I did lie to you, and I lied because I really didn't know.

At the provincial commendation meeting, you refused to go, but I went. We were praised in various ways, but when I went to talk to the special police department to which the Thornbird belonged, they ignored me and almost scolded me out of the office.

Yes, the intelligence was provided by someone, but in the end the undercover policeman died. We understand that they had emotions, so they didn't tell me the specific information about the thorn bird. This is confidential information of their police. What can I do if they don't tell me?

Then you keep asking me who Thornbird is? Does he have any family members? What can I say? You feel so guilty already. If I tell you the truth about the attitude of the SWAT department towards us, will you feel even worse? "

After hearing this, Zhan Junlin fell silent.

When Xue Xiao said that, he believed it. He never thought that the thorn bird had family members.

"Jun Lin, I don't care who you heard it from, but the person who told you this now has ulterior motives. Thornbird's death is not your fault. You have been cursed for so many years. That's enough. Even if Thornbird really has family members, the police will make proper arrangements for the martyr's family members."

"That's different." Zhan Junlin said, "As the commander of that mission, I failed to bring him back safely. I could only use his sacrifice in exchange for the victory of the mission. This is my fault. If he really has a family, it is the police's business to make arrangements. It cannot represent me."

"When I went to ask, I was kicked out. Now that so many years have passed, maybe the people have changed. If you go and ask, will they be able to tell you?"

Zhan Junlin remained silent.

"After you finish talking about your business, let me talk about mine. Have you finished dealing with your business in South City? The military's large-scale training has been advanced. You are the commander-in-chief, so you have to come back as soon as possible."

"I understand." Zhan Junlin was about to hang up after saying that. Xue Xiao could of course hear his emotions, so he quickly said, "Junlin, let me say one last thing. Just let go of the matter of Thornbird. Even if you find his family, what can you do? The special police are half colleagues of ours, and they can't understand. Do you expect Thornbird's family to understand you?

In our line of work, especially those who often go on dangerous missions, we are all prepared to sacrifice in advance. Do you think Thornbird was not mentally prepared to go undercover in such a dangerous terrorist organization? If he wasn't, he wouldn't have sacrificed himself.

For us, mission is always above everything else. Four years ago, it was the thorn bird that was sacrificed. Four years later, it might be us. If you were in the same situation, would you make the same decision as him? You would, because we all understand that the mission is to complete the task, not just to survive.

It is an honor to use our sacrifice to make the mission a success, so Thornbird did a great job in the undercover work. He was more successful than any of us. Maybe he couldn't live to enjoy the glory, but for him, he died a worthy death. That's enough, understand?"
