This series of reactions finally formed a strange scene in District 3: In this livable place where the death penalty has been abolished, an ordinary person with a lot of crimes may serve his sentence happily in a cell with excellent conditions, while a The mercury needle, which does all kinds of evil, will inevitably end its life quickly.
Some people think this is the only way to reach a fair world, while others think this is the greatest injustice.
However, no matter how the internal public opinion of AHgAs boils, Ava Morgan's attitude towards criminals has always remained unchanged. Even before, District 1 wanted to secretly extradite a criminal to a local court for trial, but she was stopped in time - — Her roots in District 3 are so deep that even those who verbally criticize her are no match for her.
Now that Jane Hestad had hit the muzzle of Ava Morgan's gun, there was a question mark as to whether she could save her life. It was simply impossible to escape at night and kill someone.
All mercury needles that have brutally killed innocent people will die as long as they are targeted by this old man. This has almost become an iron rule.
"This is why neither Qianye, Si Lei nor Avinash had any doubts about her before," Victoria said softly, "It is impossible for a person to be imprisoned by Ava and at the same time come out to kill someone. .”
"Okay..." Zoe muttered in a low voice, "Then maybe I did think something wrong..."
"But there is another reason why I never doubted that this person was an assassin - Jane Hestad's ability is very special. She cannot enter bullet time autonomously without coming into contact with the chelate."
Everyone was startled.
"This is also the fundamental reason why I firmly believe that she is not an assassin. If the assassin is a mercury needle ability user like her, this restriction will be fatal... What do you do with such an expression? I am telling the truth. .”
After a long while, Susie frowned and said: "...It's so bizarre, almost unheard of - what is your source of information? Is it credible?"
"ha……"
Zoe was obviously not convinced either: "...You just said her name, right? What is her code name?"
Victoria shrugged, "I don't know. This person's information is quite mysterious. I can only find some fragmentary information, but I can't see her full resume."
"There are occasional cases like this," Trisha added. "In order to maintain maximum confidentiality, this type of special mercury needle will remain anonymous and serve secretly for a period of time - Chiba Masaki was also like this in the past. Begin to participate in formal combat. This kind of thing is just rare, not non-existent."
"So how does her ability compare to that of the assassin?"
"Some people have commented that she is currently the most likely person to take over Chiba's mantle. I guess her ability is not bad."
"...I still don't understand," Zoe said with confusion in her voice, "If Hesta doesn't even have the ability to enter bullet time on her own, then why does Ava conclude that she is the murderer of Fernand? Fernand doesn't Did he also die at the hands of a chelate-like murderer—wouldn’t it be more reasonable to say that he was killed by an assassin?”
"Emm, this may indeed have always existed." Victoria felt that the topic had gone a little sideways, and she wanted to end the discussion as soon as possible. "In my impression, the reason why Ava insists that Hesta is suspected is because she Not only was there a motive for committing the crime, but she also told more than one lie about the case - in short, Ava rarely goes into unprepared battles, and some evidence in her hand may not be revealed until the trial.
"I will meet with this person next. If you are really suspicious, I will personally confirm her detention situation during this period. How about it?"
"Okay." Zoe nodded.
Endai was a little surprised: "Why did you go to see her?"
"I'm wondering if there is such a possibility." Victoria tilted her head, "Maybe Hesta and the assassin are old acquaintances?"
…
At the end of the day's meeting, Victoria announced that everyone would be on vacation pending any new developments. During this period, everyone had no other tasks except taking turns to go to the central hospital to continue protecting Schmidt secretly.
After leaving the police station, it was already dark outside. Victoria decided to take a walk back to the apartment, and suddenly heard Zoe's voice from behind.
She turned around, and sure enough it was Zoe running after her.
"What's wrong?"
"I have another question, I forgot to mention it just now," Zoe said with a serious expression, "Do you still have time now?"
"have."
Zoe stared seriously into Victoria's eyes: "I saw the video of your fight with the assassin at the Central Hospital last night... You suddenly froze for a moment in the middle of the process. Why?"
Victoria looked confused at first, and then quickly recalled that amazing moment.
Looking at Zoe's expression at this moment, Victoria realized something, "Oh... you doubt me."
"It can't be said to be suspicion..." Zoe tried to defend, but quickly gave up. She simply went straight to the point, "But why didn't you mention this just now? Do you still have some clues that you haven't told?"
Victoria laughed dumbly, and raised her hand to hold her forehead, "Well... because it was imitating me at that moment, so I was surprised - but there is nothing worth talking about, because I have participated in many physical arts. Teaching work includes recording some courses, do you believe this answer?"
"Sorry," Zoe lowered her guard a little, "because you said before that the higher-ups might have been infiltrated, so..."
"understand."
"I have one last question..."
Victoria nodded—she had never found Zoe to be so astute in such matters before.
"you say."
Zoe's last question was hesitant, "Is it possible that the solar wind...can be affected by human power?"
Victoria shook her head, “This is a natural disaster, Zoe.”
"There is no technology that can artificially create a solar storm?"
"No." Victoria answered very firmly, "Not even humans in the Golden Age could do it."
Zoe's eyebrows knitted together again, her expression more hesitant than ever before.
"What's wrong?" Victoria asked.
"It almost seems to say..." she murmured softly, "God is also on her side -"
Before she finished speaking, Zoe felt someone hit her shoulder hard several times. She raised her head and found Victoria looking at her.
"No God, don't think so, we just need to do our part well. If the assassin really escapes, it only means that she was lucky this time," Victoria said with a very serious look. I am sure, "No one can be lucky every time."
…
And somewhere in the woods at this moment, He Lucky Star was waking up from his drowsy sleep.
She slept all day on the branches of a zelkova tree.
The moment she opened her eyes, Hesta seemed to have forgotten where she was, and almost fell over from the tree, but then she cleverly held on to the branches behind her to maintain her balance.
