"...so urgent?"
"You don't understand the situation," Victoria looked out the window at the rapidly receding street scene. "The assassin might be watching our car somewhere right now."
"'Recruiting an assassin' is just a thought that crossed my mind. I may not really know her." Hesta looked at Victoria's back, "Although it may be a bit disappointing to say this now, I still hope you can Understand this."
Victoria laughed out loud on the spot, "No need to be modest, you must be very important to the assassin."
Hesta opened her eyes slightly, "Why do you say that?"
"We'll talk more about it later when we get to a safe place."
"...Do we have to go to Tan Yi today?"
"Do you have anything else?"
"Can I go see Ms. Morgan first?" Hesta asked tentatively, "There are some things I want to explain to her in person -"
"I understand your feelings, but it's not necessary. Ava always treats things differently. Since you have a reason for everything, she will understand."
"but I--"
"Ava is preparing for surgery in Core City recently. You won't be able to survive."
Hesta leaned on the car seat, "...Okay."
"This time when you go to Tan Yi, don't reveal your identity for the time being, and still use the name 'Youleka'. Apart from me, Endai has also come here to see you before, and she will also keep your secret."
"...Why can't you use my real name?"
"Haha, let's be a little considerate of the feelings of Danglars and Villefort. After all, Danglars and the others have always thought that you are the murderer." Victoria glanced sideways at Hesta again, "You don't need to change too much. As long as you dye your hair or wear a wig, they only have a photo of you when you were eleven, and without the red hair, they won't recognize you."
Hesta lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "But I still prefer to leave tomorrow, not in a hurry."
"Why?"
"Campbell will definitely come to Lager Workstation to find me again," Hestad said softly, "If he notices that I am no longer at the workstation -"
"What's the matter? He can't get in."
"But his ability to stir up trouble is first-rate," Hesta replied. "Just trust me, please."
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Robin, who was still in the office, received the response from Lager's workstation. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, Robin needed to synchronize these contents to the coalition government. It would be another long conversation. She read through the entire manuscript and found that Ahgas had retained most of the conversation framework, with almost no deletions of important event nodes, and only a few changes to Hestad's wording.
This somewhat shows that Hesta has thought carefully about most of what she says - she knows what she should say and what she shouldn't say.
Robin took off her glasses, leaned back in the chair for a while, and finally started packing her things to go home. When leaving the office building, she suddenly saw a familiar figure near the parking lot.
"...Qianye?"
"You're finally off work." Qianye leaned against Robin's car, "If you don't come down, I'll have to go up to find you."
Robin laughed a few times and looked at Qianye meaningfully, "Don't talk to me about Hesta, I don't know anything."
"I know you are strict, so I won't ask you for information. Besides, I have my own information channels." Qianye crossed his arms, "Isn't it Victoria and the others who took people away to deal with the 'assassins'? , Is there anything to hide?"
"Then why did you come to me?"
"Long time no see. I didn't expect you to be the prosecutor today, so I came over to take a look." Gu Xun
Robin laughed again, "There's nothing to see... No matter what happens to you, wait until you fully understand it before talking about it. I'm leaving, so don't follow me."
"Wait a minute -" Qianye held Robin's car tightly with both hands, with a polite smile on his face, "Aren't you too heartless to even reminisce about the past?"
Robin turned the key in his hand slightly.
"Okay, then just tell me what you want to ask...I'll just listen to one question. After you say it, I'll see if you can answer it, and then let me go. How about that?"
Chiba sighed softly, "I told you that I was just here to catch up on old times and didn't ask Hesta. Why don't you believe me?"
Robin raised his eyebrows, "Is this your question? If so, I'll answer it——"
"Okay, okay," Qianye interrupted Robin, "If you have to ask something... I just want to ask you how you feel after six hours of questioning."
"That's it?"
"That's it. Insensitive, right?"
Robin thought for a moment, "To be honest, I find it quite surprising, but it's also not surprising."
"No need to play such riddles with me..."
"This is exactly the truth. I have long discovered that idealists tend to appear among you mercury needles - such people are rare in livable places. So I am both surprised and not surprised."
"Idealist...you mean Jane?"
"Yes, don't you think she is?"
Chiba didn't answer.
"No, it's not," Robin opened the car door, "She looks like a taciturn person. Maybe even if she has some thoughts, she won't express them directly to the outside world... But to be honest, she has some inner thoughts. , those who have not experienced it cannot understand it.”
Robin breathed a sigh of relief, "This is my family's word, believe it if you like it."
Chiba let go of his hand and took half a step back.
Robin drove the car out of the parking space and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped the car again, "Qianye, have you seen Ava recently?"
"What's wrong?"
"If you can see her, say hello to her for me." Robin said softly, "She had been very concerned about this case before going to Core City. The main suspicion at that time was still focused on Hesta's denial of her life experience. However, At that time, the turmoil caused by the assassins was not as big as it is now. After all-"
"You should find a chance to tell her yourself. I won't spread such words."
"Okay... then, bye."
Chiba watched Robin's car drive away with a complicated expression. This afternoon she had roughly learned the first half of the interrogation from Victoria. Although the whole story sounded very solid, it was far from the plan that Jane had revealed in the cemetery before - What was supposed to happen next was that Jane went through a trial process lasting one to two weeks with the help of Campbell's lawyer, and was finally released without charge.
Apparently, Jane suddenly changed her mind.
Although Qianye couldn't ask Hesta the whole story face to face at the moment and could only come to Robin to talk about it, she already had a guess about it. It's just that the hat of "idealist" was suddenly removed from Robin, which made Chiba feel a little suspicious - what did Jane and Robin say?
From the moment they met in the cemetery, Chiba really felt the changes in her.
Different from the previous depression, joy, anger, sadness... it was not a temporary ups and downs of emotions, but a transformation from the inside out. When Qianye observed it, Jane was already different from the little girl she was familiar with back then. Girls are far apart.
But when did it all start?
Chiba knew nothing about this.
