The discussion continued for about half an hour. At about seven o'clock, Si Lei left the reserve base, and Zoe went with her.
After Si Lei left, Victoria called everyone back.
"There is one thing I haven't mentioned just now." Victoria looked serious. "As for how our coordinates were leaked, Office No. 004 has responded."
…
At 7:05, Campbell, who was eating, suddenly received a call from Chiba.
"Hey, Ms. Chiba——"
"Mr. Campbell, is it convenient for you to come out now?"
"Convenience, what's wrong?"
"I have to see Hesta again, can you help me make arrangements?"
"Now?"
"Now."
Campbell looked at the time and felt a little embarrassed. "This time is not within the prison's visiting period. We may have to wait until tomorrow morning at the earliest——"
"That's what the prison told me, so I called you." Chiba lowered his voice slightly, "I got some new information... If you can let me see her, maybe I can find a way Let her talk."
Campbell raised his hand to signal the butler on the side that he no longer had to share his meal. He stood up and walked to the window, "Where are you now?"
"Lage Workstation."
Twenty minutes later, Chiba was already sitting in the car sent by Campbell. Campbell himself did not show up, but he arranged for his secretary to go with Chiba to the home of the warden of the independent prison.
Later, Chiba obtained a temporary visit permit personally issued by the warden from the warden. On the way to the independent prison, the secretary kept talking to Chiba about how much Campbell valued this matter tonight and how efficient this series of actions was. and rare.
Chiba was not surprised by this - rules can only block those who cannot circumvent them, and she has long understood this.
Under the power of this visit permission letter, Chiba went directly to "Hesta"'s cell.
"Go out and talk."
Chiba patted "Hesta" on the shoulder and walked through the empty room first to its back garden.
Under the dark blue night and the bright white street lights, Chiba went straight in and spoke in a voice that only two people could hear: "Two choices."
Eclipse looked sideways at Chiba.
"The first one is high risk and requires you and Jane to cooperate skillfully. If you succeed, you can leave tonight; the other one is low risk. You basically don't have to do anything. You just need to follow the designated person to the designated place to escape, but you have to wait until tomorrow morning. ...Which one do you choose?”
Eclipse was lost in thought.
…
Chiba and Eclipse sat together on the bench in the backyard for about forty minutes, during which Campbell's secretary kept looking at their backs in the room.
Whenever the secretary tried to get up to bring them water or a blanket to keep out the cold, the two of them would fall into silence.
But when the secretary tried to get closer for the last time, he saw the back of "Hesta" covering her face and crying.
The girl's shoulders were shaking violently, and she covered her face tightly with her hands. Chiba squatted in front of her, as if to comfort her.
After entering the independent prison for so long, "Hesta" has never had such an intense emotional reaction.
This exciting news quickly spread back to Campbell. Campbell, who had planned to go to bed early, immediately conveyed new instructions to his secretary: After the incident was over, Chiba must be invited to sit at home.
Only a few minutes later, the secretary sent a reply: "It's over. We'll be back together now. Please wait a moment."
Campbell was overjoyed, and he suddenly regretted not making a prompt decision to go with Qianye tonight, but it didn't matter, he would soon know what happened tonight.
…
When Chiba appeared in front of Campbell again, Campbell had already prepared some red wine and cheese. Chiba said that she wanted some more filling food. After all, she had not had dinner yet, and Campbell immediately asked the kitchen to start preparations.
Campbell resisted the urge to ask - he didn't want to appear too eager.
However, what he didn't expect was that Qianye remained silent and kept talking to him about trivial matters. Campbell yawned endlessly while feeling anxious in his heart until the kitchen removed the appetizer plates and put tonight's meal away. After the main course was served, Chiba started to get down to business.
"There are some things that are still under confidentiality. I shouldn't have said them originally, but I think Ava will take the initiative to reveal them when the court opens the day after tomorrow. So I thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it. It was better to tell Hess in advance. Tower..." Chiba said and glanced at Campbell, "I'll tell you too."
Campbell said nothing, but straightened his back.
"There is an assassin who has been active in Tan Yi's area recently. Do you know this?"
"Have heard a little bit."
"The assassin has extremely high combat qualities. During the fight with her, we also discovered that this person is extremely knowledgeable about AHgAs. Not only does he have access to internal information, but he can even get his hands on some confidential information... In a previous operation Among them, she showed a highly similar combat behavior to Hesta, and several of the deceased had insisted that the assassin was 'Hesta' who joined AHgAs many years ago——"
Campbell was shocked when he heard this, "...What is their basis?"
"It's a long story..."
Chiba chewed calmly and talked while eating.
The aroma of food rose from the cup of chicken stewed in red wine in front of her. The soup base is stewed with white mushrooms, fatty pork and red wine, and is paired with chicken legs and oyster meat - the Campbell family's private chefs are really good.
During the dinner, Chiba's eyes glanced at the watch from time to time, and the hands of time were slowly rotating.
"It's a pity that Ava has been treating illnesses in the core city during this period. Otherwise, I would be really curious about her expression after hearing these clues - she was wrong this time. She insisted that Hesta was the murderer of the Fernan case. But now it seems that the assassin who committed the attack in Tan Yi is more suspected.
"However, they are likely to use Hesta as a breakthrough to capture the assassin. After all, the assassin deliberately showed many behavioral characteristics similar to Hesta... I told Hesta all these things. By the way, there is also some news that I found out in the wasteland this week."
"You went to the wasteland?"
"Yes, let's investigate the origin of the assassin and see if Hesta really knows her."
Campbell held his breath and leaned towards Chiba involuntarily, "What did Ms. Hesta say?"
Chiba lightly shrugged, "...she was very shocked by these groundless accusations and said she needed time to think about it - she has been in prison these days and has no contact with the outside world. It is normal to have this reaction, just let her think about it. Think about it, we can just go there tomorrow morning."
"So, is this why Ms. Hestad is crying in prison tonight?"
Chiba nodded, "Yes."
