The warden waited for a long time, but there was still no answer. He observed for a while and felt that Hesta's entire mental state was a little depressed. She might not have listened to what he just said.
But there is nothing surprising about this. Anyone who comes here will not be in a good mood.
He was so attentive purely for Campbell's sake, but since the other party didn't appreciate it, he wasn't persistent.
"Okay, Miss Youleka, you can rest. If you need anything, let's talk."
The door opened from the outside, and Hestad was alone in the room again.
She glanced at the time. It was now 1:27 pm.
Hesta looked at the room with his peripheral vision. There were two surveillance cameras indoors and outdoors. They were installed in the southeast corner and northwest corner of the room. They included the entire room within their observation range, and there were almost no blind spots - except Toilets and bathrooms on the west side.
But there are no windows in the toilet or bathroom. If you want to enter, it seems that there is only one entrance to the living room, and any movement passing through that door will be recorded by the surveillance here.
Hesta sat down at the desk by the window and stared at the drizzle outside the window.
The next thing to do seemed to be to wait.
She has to wait for a change that she doesn't know will come.
Solar eclipse.
…
The sun is blazing in the short-minging lane today.
Si Lei was waiting alone in the car, her gun loaded, ready to deal with possible dangers - at least three unknown people were squatting at the alley at the end of the road.
Those were not any special stalkers, they were just bandits that could be seen everywhere in Short Call Alley. They were extremely interested in all outsiders and were ready to rob Si Lei's car and her accompanying equipment - as long as they showed up. The right opportunity.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching quickly. Si Lei turned around with a gun and faced Qianye.
She put down the gun with lingering fear, "...Why did you come back from the back? Didn't you go from the front?"
"After a circle, we came back from the back." Chiba jumped into the co-pilot, "I left the clues related to Maya to our informant here. She said she had no impression and had to look for it. Just ask and you can give me the answer.”
"Just asking, why have you been gone for so long?" Si Lei was even more surprised, "You were gone for more than seventy minutes -"
"Informants are not that easy to find," Qianye interrupted Si Lei, "I don't work in an office. I have to wait for the leader to come and check every day..."
"How long will it take for her to give us an answer?"
"One or two days." Qianye replied, "But there is no delay. We can go to other wastelands to check out and give her some time."
"Is your informant reliable?"
"I have lived in Short Ming Lane for more than thirty years," Qianye lowered his voice, "And this time I came to ask in person, what do you think?"
Si Lei sighed.
They had been out for a day and a night, and even though she and Qianye had contacted all their familiar contacts in the wasteland, they didn't expect that both sides found nothing.
The name "Maya" is most likely not her name in Short Ring Alley, and she may have changed her name again after this person left the habitable place, which will make the search more difficult.
Si Lei restarted the car engine and said to himself, "...How come there are no clues at all?"
Chiba pulled a blanket to cover her face, "It's normal to have no clues at all. Give her some time... I'm tired, let's sleep for a while."
Si Lei nodded. She was immersed in anxiety about the prospect of the investigation, and did not notice that Qianye, who had returned, was slightly more depressed than before.
When she first met Hestad eight years ago, Chiba accurately reported Hestad's origins - even though St. Anne's Abbey deliberately concealed Hestad's name in Short Call Lane in the materials to the city hall. Although she was born, these records were written in her notes by the dean, and Qianye read them carefully.
Hesta, who was lying on the hospital bed at that time, did not lie about this matter and admitted it openly.
At that time, Chiba didn't have the energy to find out how she, a little girl in the wasteland, entered a livable place. After all, Robert and his group started to plot against Hesta.
All these investigations were later handed over to the New Personnel Section of Office 003 - these people are responsible for digging up the backgrounds of reserve recruits. All relevant materials will eventually be sorted and archived and stored in the underground archives. The Liz... That's how Fletcher's files came about.
Later, Chiba also looked through Jane's files and found that her past was extremely simple.
Investigators took Jane's photo and searched for her in Short Alley, but no one had any impression of the face in the photo.
As Jane herself said, she was an orphan living in Short Alley. She had no parents and no partners. She had lived alone as long as she could remember. In those years, she did not even join some loose gangs of children. She only relied on some money from the garbage dump. The leftovers are eaten cold and satiated.
Jane's description was detailed. Based on some of the key features she mentioned, the investigators quickly found several of her past residences in Short Ming Alley, including bridge caves, stairwells of old buildings, and even a certain place outside Short Meing Alley. In a cave.
Therefore, Jane's description was deemed "credible" and the matter was settled.
But this time when she came to Short Call Lane, Chiba had one more thing on her mind - Valenti concluded that Jane once had a female caregiver.
If Valenti's guess is true, it means that Jane deliberately concealed this matter, which is intriguing.
At this point, Chiba had to prepare for the worst. If the "assassin" was Jane, then her past in Short Call Lane would be particularly important.
In order not to alert the enemy, Chiba, after explaining the matters related to Maya, asked the informant to silently come up with a list of people who could be called sharpshooters in Short Alley on the grounds of personal mission.
There were about forty people in total on this list. Chiba asked about the situation one by one, from their personal background, family members to the forces they belonged to... Chiba asked in great detail.
During the conversation, Chiba indeed found six characters among these people that she was somewhat concerned about. Among them, the two old people who caught her attention the most: one was named Joan Valerie, who had worked as a mercenary in the past. He bore a lot of blood debts and settled in Short Call Lane to avoid being wanted. He died of illness in the winter of 4618;
The other one is Charles Jallow, known as "Old Charlie". His origin is unknown. He ran a grocery store for more than thirty years. In the summer of 4619, he suddenly disappeared without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
These two old people were surrounded by their granddaughters and juniors, some of whom were about the same age as Jane. These people also disappeared with their disappearance.
