It was just past twelve o'clock, and Si Lei's car stopped at the entrance of the reserve base. She registered her information according to the procedure, and then saw Turan and Hesta in the distance.
"Officer Si Lei!"
Si Lei stopped signing with the pen in his hand, "Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the underground garage?"
"We all saw your car...it's just a few steps away, it's okay!"
Si Lei quickly stepped forward to help, "You have a lot of luggage."
"These boxes are all mine. There is only one piece of Jane's luggage - the one in her arms." Turan opened the trunk of the car and stuffed his and Hesta's things inside one after another.
"Where is Qianye?" Si Lei asked.
Turan was startled, "I don't know, will she come over?"
"...I called her all morning, and the line was open, but no one answered." Si Lei's mouth sank slightly, "I thought she would come to pick her up in person."
Si Lei said as he helped Hesta in the wheelchair get into the car and helped her fasten her seat belt.
"Do you know where Chiba is, Jane?"
"Probably on the boat," Hesta replied. "She told me last week that she would wait for me on the boat today."
"…Well, this person will always be elusive—"
"Officer Si Lei!" Turan's voice came from behind, "Your trunk can't fit. Is there anything in it that can be temporarily stored at the reserve base?"
"No, the rest are my luggage." Si Lei replied, "Put some small boxes in front."
Turan's movements stopped, "So...will you board the ship with Jane too?"
"Yes." Si Lei responded simply, "I was supposed to go back to District 14 after the last case was over, but I was delayed by some documents for several months. I just happened to go with them this time."
"Has Officer Si Lei received the ticket?"
"I received it half a month ago, what happened?"
"Did you see the boarding instructions? It's the one that came with the ship card-"
Seeing that Si Lei was confused, Turan began to explain carefully. Si Lei quickly took out the envelope from her backpack. Her ship card and paper ticket were still well stored in the envelope. As for the "Instructions for Boarding", Si Lei glanced at the title before and stopped reading it - anyway, it would have written clichés such as "Do not bring flammable and explosive dangerous goods"... These days Who else would take the time to read through these things?
But when Si Lei unfolded the instructions in confusion, she was also stunned. This "Instructions" was obviously full of weirdness.
"What about the reverse side? Is there a message on the reverse side of the letter?" Turan asked again.
Si Lei turned over the letter - there were also two lines of small handwritten words with meaningful handwriting. Si Lei read softly: "When we have ambitions but no predecessors, we know that we have to leave this ruins and look elsewhere. You are loyal. Of, Alberdo Carney.”
She raised her head and looked at Turan and Hesta, "Who is Alberdo Carni?"
"God knows... Jane also received the same letter, look at this."
Si Lei frowned.
"I don't understand. The email I received said that ticket checking starts at four o'clock. Why does it say that you have to enter the waiting room at three o'clock? Have you asked Chiba what the situation is?"
"We can't contact her either...the photo has been sent to her but she hasn't responded."
Si Lei glanced at his watch, it was just twelve past twelve.
"Then let's go first and go to the port to have a look."
…
The port of Havre is about 90 kilometers northwest of Tany, and it takes about an hour to drive there. Along the way, the three of them occasionally overtook passenger buses heading towards the port, each of which was full of passengers.
"There are too many people... Is there any festival going on recently?"
"I guess it's because of the previous solar storm that the spring break in many places has been postponed to this month." Turan, who was in the co-pilot, replied, "Everyone must be depressed because they can't travel far."
Si Lei glanced at the bus that was getting further and further away in the rearview mirror, "When I was young, let alone traveling far away, even going to neighboring towns required approval at various levels... Times have really changed."
"Ten years ago, the coverage rate of signal towers in livable areas was less than 10%. It's understandable." Turan looked at Si Lei, "Has your 'murder photography' case officially ended? How can you do this in this place?" Leaving the third area at this critical moment?”
"There is no retrospective period within Ahgas for such cases of attacks on civilians... Now it's just a different group of people investigating." At this point, Si Lei suddenly wanted to take a look at Hesta's expression, but she He resisted the urge and forced himself to look directly in front of the car, "But for me personally, it is indeed the end."
"…to you personally?"
"If there are new clues in the future, I will return to the case team at any time to cooperate with the investigation——"
"Ha, there is no doubt, this must have been done by the mercury needle."
"……Why?"
"Didn't you all take the video of the assassin? If you have that kind of speed, except for the mercury needle, it is a chelate. Excluding her from being a chelate, wouldn't it be a mercury needle?"
Si Lei smiled and she fell silent at the right time to end this slightly dangerous topic.
At 1:40, the three of them finally arrived at the parking lot of the port.
After getting off the car, Si Lei handed the car keys directly to Turan - after she and Hesta boarded the ship safely, Turan could drive the car directly to the airport.
Turan got out of the car empty-handed, "This is really convenient. Look, now I am the one with the fewest things."
When they stepped into the port hall of Havre, Hesta, who had been silent all this time, suddenly grabbed her wheelchair. She stood up crookedly and walked back, like a dying old woman, walking with difficulty.
"Jane, are you going to--" Before Turan could finish his question, Hesta had already vomited on the marble floor at the port entrance. The vomit that splashed to the ground immediately created an invisible vacuum around Hesta. All travelers avoided this place.
"...Are you motion sick!?"
Hesta was about to answer when a second wave of vomit rushed up her throat. The staff at the port hall arrived quickly. They helped Hesta into the wheelchair again and pushed him to the nearest emergency medical room.
After a moment of rest, Hesta finally regained his composure.
"If I had known that you would get motion sickness, I should have given you some motion sickness medicine before setting off... Why didn't you tell us that you felt uncomfortable in the car?"
Hesta looked at Turan. She wanted to answer. In fact, before today, she didn't know that her body would get motion sickness. As for why she didn't tell her in the car - because she had a strong premonition that if she was in If you say one word in the car, it will be Si Lei's car that will be destroyed.
Just thinking about such a long passage in his mind already made Hesta feel tired.
"...Where is the Slei man?" Hesta asked in a low voice.
"She went to the reception desk to ask about the location of the cabin," Turan gently patted Hesta on the back, "Anyway, we are already here. Let's sit here until two fifty before leaving. You don't have to worry. ——There just happen to be few people here, so it’s convenient for you to rest.”
Hesta sighed softly and held Turan's hand.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and they both looked up at the same time. The person who came was indeed Si Lei.
"How is it?" Turan asked, "Is waiting room No. 12 far from here?"
"Has Chiba returned your call?"
"……No."
Si Lei was silent for a moment, then she walked up to Turan and Hesta: "The receptionist said that there are only eleven waiting rooms in Havre Port."
