At nine o'clock in the evening on this day, Mayor Tan Yi issued a public speech on TV, responding directly to the "false report" about Jane Hestad in the "Indomitable" newspaper last Sunday.
During the speech, Robert, as the actual person in charge of the entire project, participated in the whole process. They invited several children from St. Anne's Monastery and asked them to retell in front of the camera how kind-hearted Hesta was. , pure heart.
Later, Robert denounced some young reporters with "ulterior motives" who made assumptions and fabricated lies based on the lack of solid evidence in an attempt to mislead the public and confuse right and wrong.
At 10:20 that night, AHgAs did not provide any additional text explanation, but only released a video on the official website.
There is a corridor in the picture. A red-haired girl grabbed a thin boy and beat her violently. The boy looked very pitiful. He did not fight back the whole time, but just kept struggling to crawl out. But the red-haired girl refused to let go and just faced her. The thin boy was full of old fists.
Outside the screen, there is a pale and frightened female voice——
"Hitting someone...beating someone - ah, my God... stop it, kid - oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
Although the boys and girls in the picture have all been mosaicd, people still recognized Hesta by her unique hair color.
...This can be said to be irrefutable evidence.
Whether this little red-haired girl is a little angel with a crystal heart, or a potential demon who acts violently and cruelly, everyone has their own answer.
The entire Tanyi City Hall was on fire. The evidence came in so quickly that they were not sure if AHgAs had any other unreleased materials.
Bad things happened one after another. An hour later, the AHgAs reserve base announced that it would announce a detailed explanation of the chelate attack inside the base at eight o'clock the next morning.
The important people's phone calls were kept busy by their relatives and friends - why are there still chelates in the reserve base? And it is said that he almost ran away?
At the same time, many creditors who hold large amounts of city bonds in Tanyi City have begun to make reservations for bond sales the next day. When the sun rises tomorrow, it is still unknown how many waves will be stirred up.
Robert could only face all this with a pale face.
A special investigation team has been set up against him, and the matter has been exposed so uglyly. The influence he had previously exerted on his opponents has now turned into a backlash against himself - he will face an interrogation from all sides, and his political career will be completely over. It is a certainty, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to avoid prison in his later years.
How could everything suddenly come to this point?
In a daze, Chiba Masaki's words before leaving rang in his ears - "This is the reason."
But what exactly did he say at that time to inspire her to say such a thing?
Robert frowned.
He has...a little hard to remember.
1am.
Hesta went upstairs alone after taking a shower. Liz still didn't sleep. She was sitting on the sofa in the public area with her computer in her arms, watching everyone's discussions on the forum - most of the discussions above made Liz very angry. Firelight.
"What are you looking at?" Hesta asked while wiping her hair, "It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
Liz was typing the keyboard loudly. She was having a cyber battle with a few out-of-the-box keyboard gangsters. Seeing Hesta approaching, Liz turned the screen to the other side and said, "Don't look at it. Someone is coming." gas."
"Why are you angry?" Hesta tilted her head slightly and smiled, "These comments will not constitute one ten thousandth of me."
…
…
One month later.
Sean couldn't remember how many surgeries he had performed during this period. He kept having fevers and fevers, and his consciousness briefly drifted between coma and wakefulness, as if he was sinking in a long dream, unable to distinguish between dreams. the border with reality.
On the second Sunday in August, Sean woke up and found that he had grown two hands again.
He thought he was dreaming, but the moment he raised his hand, he felt a huge violation.
First of all, it's not his hand.
His fingertips and knuckles were calloused from years of disassembling electrical appliances, but his hands were perfect.
Secondly, there is always a subtle delay between these hands and movements and his expectations - perhaps in the eyes of others, he is just waving his hands casually, but he himself can clearly feel that the reaction of his hands is faster than that of his brain. Take a slow shot.
"You're awake." A synthesized voice suddenly sounded, and Sean was startled. He looked around to find the source of the sound, but there was no one around.
"Get out of bed, go out, and don't ask any questions." The voice said again.
Although this place felt strange to him, Sean guessed that it was still a reserve base. He obeyed and left the room barefoot.
There was an empty corridor outside. This scene almost immediately reminded Sean of the scene when he encountered chelate not long ago. His feet were a little weak, and he held his head in his hands and leaned against the wall shivering.
"Forward," the synthesized voice commanded.
"Where is this..." Sean closed his eyes tightly, "Who are you?"
"Forward!" The synthesized human voice sounded obviously heavier.
He had no choice but to stand up again and move forward step by step.
The voice didn't mind that he was walking slowly. At the key intersection, Sean followed the instructions, turning left, right or going straight. Finally, he came to a pure white interrogation room.
The whole room was pure white, and he couldn't even tell which was the floor and which was the wall. There was a chair in the middle of the room, but there was nothing else here.
"Go, sit down."
Sean slowly moved to the chair and sat down timidly.
After a while, a square composed of four black lines appeared directly in front of Sean. It slowly moved up, like a slider, and a black lens stretched out from behind, facing Sean's eyes.
At the same time, a piece of text appeared directly in front of Sean - only then did he realize that every wall here might be a screen.
"Read this passage out loud."
Sean shuddered.
"I...I accessed...the computer system of...the Third District Coalition Government without authorization," Sean stumbled and stared at the huge text in front of him, "I passed...technical and non-technical Using this method, we successfully obtained the source codes of various operating systems and information devices in order to...study their weaknesses."
The black lens faithfully records Sean's words and deeds.
"But I'm just curious - I'm just curious! I want to see what I can do, and I didn't mean it! I don't mean any harm!"
Sean looked at the camera and defended loudly, but the camera had already retracted.
"You have two choices." The synthesized human voice said coldly, "You have secretly stolen and illegally used agency information without authorization, which has constituted a serious crime of information theft. You will face up to thirty years in prison—— "
"What about the other choice?" Sean had already shouted, "I choose the other one!"
