"Originally, today's Fernand case was going to be heard in the First Criminal Court, right?"
"Yes, but the location of the day after tomorrow has been changed to the 'Second Criminal Court', which is at the east end of the inner court. There is the newly opened criminal court this year. If you don't know it-"
"It's okay, I'll go for a walk by myself." Chiba waved to Campbell, "...you are busy with your business."
After speaking, Chiba left briskly.
Looking at Chiba's back, Campbell couldn't help but sigh, what a powerful person this is. The determination and confidence that permeated her body were so contagious. Just talking to her for a moment, some uneasy and doubtful thoughts were swept away. And empty.
Chiba was indeed very confident at the moment, because between the time she left the visiting room and the end of her conversation with Campbell, she suddenly solved the mystery that "Hesta" had just left for her——
meditation
A quiet, undisturbed place
Your own room or an empty area with few people...
And - "Maybe it can help you, I hope you can try it."
These suggestions, taken together, all pointed to the hope that she would go to a space where she could be alone.
At the beginning of the entire conversation, this "Hesta" confessed that she had encountered some "unsatisfactory" things, but out of caution, she could not express her needs clearly.
But this is not a dead end, because if the person in the prison is not the real Jane, then Jane is obviously wandering outside at the moment.
——As long as you stay alone and stay away from the crowd, it is equivalent to giving Jane a chance to get close or even show up.
This guess may not be correct, but it is enough to make Chiba excited. Because it is not only logically self-consistent, but also can make some predictions - for example, if it is established, then the real Jane should be lurking near the "Criminal Court" of the internal court at this moment.
Chiba knew that the monitoring intensity of the internal court was slightly less than that of the independent prison. If you want to do something that needs to be hidden from others - such as exchanging identities, it would be more suitable than an independent prison.
Judging from the existing clues, Jane seems to be planning to personally participate in the trial against her. Otherwise, the fake "Hesta" in prison would not have to be so cold-blooded to Campbell. The stand-in's "silence" is obviously In order to avoid any mistakes in words after the return of the rightful owner.
Then the "unsuccessful" mentioned by the fake Herstad came to light - Campbell's "application" to postpone the court hearing took effect, so the "return operation" that was supposed to be carried out today was in vain.
Ah.
Isn’t this all connected?
Chiba started running on the street. Thinking of Victoria's excited face last night, she felt her heart pounding in her chest.
Can you make it? Is there still time to do anything else?
…
At a quarter past nine, Victoria and Ende were sitting together in the drawing room of the Duke of Villefort's palace.
The purpose of their trip was to persuade Tanglar and Villefort to leave Tan Yi temporarily and head to the core city under their personal escort.
This operation is different from Schmidt's lame tricks before. This time Victoria called a special plane. The plane is currently parked at Tan Yi's reserve base. Their team has already inspected the body and will be ready in fifteen minutes. Take the two of them and leave directly.
This kind of asylum specification is unprecedented in the history of AHgAs and the coalition government. Victoria and others reviewed the plan repeatedly, aiming to ensure that the entire process was foolproof.
However, they never expected that this proposal was rejected by both Danglars and Villefort.
"I won't go - do you think I will still believe you? Schmidt also said he was going to Core City. We have all seen his fate... He can survive for a few more days if he stays here, but now he is gone , die immediately!"
Tangglar looked excited, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying and insomnia all night long. Obviously, everything that had happened to Lixi was happening again to Tangglar at this moment.
However, unlike Lixi's obedient character, Tanglar's voice was shrill. He glared at the women in front of him with great resentment, as if the few people in front of him had caused his unfortunate fate at this moment.
Endai leaned back slightly and approached Victoria's ear, "Do we have to ask for his consent? Can't we just knock him out and carry him on the plane?"
"No." Victoria also suppressed her anger. "If we don't get their authorization letter, once something happens to them, some people in the coalition government will definitely take advantage of it and bite us."
"But if we continue like this, I don't know how many loopholes the assassin will be able to take advantage of. Will something really happen by then?"
Victoria took a deep breath and looked at Villefort, "Where are you, Duke? Are you willing to come with us?"
Villefort's expression seemed a little hesitant. He had been silent before. Now that he was asked by name, he had to give an answer: "I also want to stay..."
Victoria held her forehead and asked, "What's your reason?"
"Although, although I know this reason may seem a bit crazy to you, but..." Villefort's eyes fell on the smooth wooden table, "I kind of want to see this 'assassin' with my own eyes."
As soon as these words came out, the four people were shocked.
"...What is he talking about?" Endai looked at Theresa, "Did I hear wrongly?"
Villefort glanced at Danglars beside him. The frightened poor man was holding his head in his hands, falling into despair. Villefort was a little unsure whether he should finish his words in front of him.
"Why do you want to see the assassin?" Victoria leaned forward, "If you do, what do you want to do?"
"Well... I have... indeed done some wrong things, and for this... for this I..." Villefort frowned, as if he was briefly in a daze, and then he suddenly raised his head again, "But Back then, I, I never—”
"Stop your wishful thinking!" Danglars screamed, "This is a murderous madman! What illusions do you have about her-"
"What did you just say?" Victoria asked.
Villefort fell into thought again, his face remained tense, and finally he shook his head. "...I'm sorry, it concerns the reputation of the deceased, I, I can't do it for myself..."
"Duke," Victoria reminded, "what time is it now, and you still want to talk about the honor of the dead-"
"I just want to see the assassin," Villefort said in a deep voice, as if he had made some determination. "If the assassin thinks that I should die to atone for my sins, then I will give my life to her. If she thinks If death is not enough, I should also accept torture, then I will use my pain to fill her resentment...I...I am willing to accept the trial of the 'assassin', I don't plan to leave, that's it."
