"When I was in Short Call Alley, I told Elise that I would never repeat the fate of the people in the alley. Whenever I thought that I would follow in the footsteps of these people, I would have a strong urge to catch him. The urge to live in something. Even if all history is created by these unknown people, I will not be willing to bend down and be a dust."
"...how old were you then?"
"I don't remember, it was only when I was five or six years old anyway." Hesta said softly, "Elise didn't laugh or get angry after hearing this, but told me about the monument very calmly, and then asked Me, 'Are you ready, my girl?'"
Although these were all things Hesta had already prepared, when she actually said them out, the feeling of falling into memories was still strong.
The words quickly brought her back to a quiet night, where the tears of her old friends once wet her shoulders in the darkness.
But she was too young to understand Liz's tears.
Looking back now, everything seems like a lifetime ago.
"My condolences," Robin said softly.
When Hesta came back to her senses, she felt that her eyes were already slightly moist.
"You said before that Elise's death was closely related to the 'Ceven Mountains Foreign Aid Organization' that Fernand participated in founding. What exactly happened?"
"Honestly, I don't know many of the details." Hesta replied calmly, "But I know that Fernan is the instigator."
"...Isn't it a bit hasty to take action without knowing the whole story?"
"Of course I don't know everything. I originally wanted to confront Fernan, but unfortunately I didn't make it."
"Then how did you target Fernan?"
Hesta's eyes and thoughts were lost in memories. After a long time, she said, "Fernand likes to collect some strange things, such as human shins, teeth, torture tools from the Iron Age, and witchcraft tools... There are many things in here. They were all found in the wilderness. If he paid a high price, someone would sell them to him.
"In the Severn Hills area, Fernando has a villa with many collections on display. To say villa may be too polite, the size of the building should be considered a castle, and his two most proud collections are placed there.
"One of them is a set of cups, and the other is a small suitcase." Hesta looked at Robin, "Both of these two things have a big background. Have you heard of them?"
Robin shook his head.
"There are three cups in total, divided into large, medium and small sizes. The material is human skulls, from two children and an adult woman. He named the three cups Little Mary, Mary and Big Mary - that is, wax The names of the three bells on the bell tower of Notre Dame Church.
"Three cups put together are collectively called 'Girl's Prayer'.
"The material of another leather suitcase is from an endangered animal. It is said that the raw material is very rare. I don't know about this. I will only tell you what impressed me - the handle part of this bag came from the spines of two babies.
"Why do I know these two collections, because they once appeared in Elise's hands as a warning to her."
"warn?"
"The existence of the Communist Alliance has seriously hindered foreign aid organizations from extending their tentacles further into other wastelands, so they destroyed a new branch of the Communist Alliance in District 4 and then sent this gift.
"The foreign aid organization had already made up its mind to crack down on the Communist League, which was a hard nut to crack down on. Elise was already ill at that time, and several key people in the Communist League had also been bribed - more importantly, at that time, On the 61st technology iteration day of the mother city of the third area, the weapons in the habitable area have been innovated, and the wasteland is unprepared for this.
"Then," Hestad's voice dropped, "it happened."
"Is that when you were sent to a habitable place?"
"No," Hesta shook his head, "Although I was taken away from Short Call Alley before Elise died, I stayed in other wastelands for a year, and was sent to St. Anne's Monastery the following year.
"At that time, I had no idea what was going on outside. If I hadn't been secretly investigating over the years, Fernan would still be at large."
Robin fell into deep thought, "...when you were in prison, did anyone talk to you about the 'Assassin'?"
"I've heard of it," Hesta replied softly, "She must have killed Fernan too, right?"
"Are you familiar with the deceased people in Tan Yi? Are they connected with the Communist Alliance?"
"I don't know." Hesta replied, "But I know that Fernand became famous in the habitable land because of his attachment to Villefort. As for whether these people were directly involved in the bloody attack on the Communist Alliance that year Suppression, I found no relevant evidence.”
"Have you ever seen people with mercury needle abilities in the Communist Alliance? Is it possible that the assassin came from the Communist Alliance?"
Hesta shook her head, "I don't know, even if there is someone with mercury needle ability, Elise and the others won't tell us.
"But I believe that if the assassin is really from the Communist Alliance, there must be a reason for her killing."
…
The time slowly passed from the warm afternoon to four o'clock in the afternoon, and Robin's questioning continued.
Outside the court, Chiba paced back and forth.
At a quarter past four, the mercury needles of Lager's workstation suddenly appeared outside the court. They drove the evacuation vehicle and parked directly at the side entrance of the Second Criminal Court. Several of them were holding weapons and had stern expressions, as if they were ready.
Chiba recognized the evacuation vehicle at the workstation at a glance and was a little surprised. He remembered that Hesta had previously made a request for ahgas to re-evaluate the confidentiality of this case - did 004 really intend to pick up the person?
But when she thought about it, Qianye felt that this was absolutely impossible.
No matter what, the Fernan case is always a case in which a citizen of a livable area was killed in a livable area. Even if Hesta is indeed not the murderer, this process must be jointly participated by the third district coalition government.
Ahgas has always taken a very low stance towards the coalition government. Cooperation is the priority in everything. There is no reason to be so tough this time.
"Chiba!"
The passenger window of the escort vehicle rolled down, revealing Victoria's face.
Qianye vaguely noticed something was wrong, and she stepped forward: "...Aren't you busy with Tan Yi? Why are you here?"
"I've just arrived, too. It's just after the restriction time. It's not even half an hour yet." Victoria replied with a smile. She raised her chin in the direction of the court, "Isn't it over yet?"
"It should be soon." Chiba glanced at the mercury needle on the driver's seat, "Are you here to pick someone up?"
"Yes, I just got the order," Victoria held her hands on the car window. "From now on, Hesta's detention location will be changed from an independent prison to an underground detention point in the workstation. It will be implemented immediately after the end of today's court hearing. Under the situation Until this becomes clearer, the trial of Fernand's case will be put on hold for the time being."
