Just as Qin Siyang was recounting the facts in grief, a Lie Detector abruptly sounded its verdict.
Qin Siyang looked down. The Lie Detector belonged to an officer beside Yan Xiaoying's command vehicle.
The officer stared gravely at Huang Changgong, who had already breathed his last in Qin Siyang's arms. His eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"His strength was exceptional, his talent commanded respect, and his loyalty was plain for all to see."
"True."
"But your brigade commander was willing to kill him
