Bree's screams sounded again, and Rico decided to go in and take a look. Before pressing the doorknob, Rico glanced in the direction of Hesta - at this moment, Jane was handling the doctor's questions with ease.
Rico coughed lightly and stepped into the compartment between the consulting room and the sterile room without saying a word.
Almost at the moment he opened the door, Rico saw "The Awakening of the Male" placed on the chest of drawers. After only a few hours of absence, the book was destroyed beyond recognition. Some of the pages soaked in sulfuric acid have begun to carbonize. The kraft paper used to wrap the book has also fallen off, revealing the copper paper cover underneath.
Li Ge quickly put the book on his lower back and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Si Lei's voice coming from inside.
She moved lightly and listened.
"...What are you hesitating about?"
——It’s still Si Lei’s voice.
Then there was a vague whisper, which should be Bree's response. However, it seemed that his energy could only be spent on shouting out pain. Rico could barely hear a few words, but he could not deduce the whole sentence from them.
"Don't make any mistake. I'm not doing this to help you. I just hate lynching." Si Lei added, "Also, don't do any tricks in front of me. I have many ways to know what you are doing behind your back." What……"
Rico put her ear against the door, trying to hear the conversation more clearly, but Hesta's shouting suddenly came from the other side of the consulting room, and she realized that she had to leave immediately.
Sure enough, shortly after returning to the consulting room, there was a knock on the door - the nurses who had just left returned.
"Come in!" The doctor behind the curtain greeted, and Rico immediately stepped forward and turned the door lock.
"Why is the door locked?" The nurse was pushing the equipment cart in her hand, her voice a little dissatisfied, "We are only going out for a while..."
"There are patients being examined, so it's better to lock them up," Rico replied. "Besides, I'm watching here, so I'm not wasting anything."
The nurse's tone became more severe: "Don't touch anything here without permission!"
Rico no longer insisted on anything, she walked to the examination table, stood behind the doctor and gave Hesta an ok gesture.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Hestad and Rico returned to the room. Facing the completely destroyed book, Hestad reached out and covered his face: "...This is not true."
"Is this book very precious? How about buying another one for her when we get off the ship?"
"It shouldn't be available outside..." Hesta scratched his scalp, "This book might have been published before the blackout."
"Really?" Rico lowered her head and turned through a few pages. After marking the year on the publication information page, she closed the book, "...it's true."
Hesta remained silent, looking at the broken book in front of her with a headache - if she had known this, she shouldn't have observed it at that time, so what if she rushed in with Meyer...
"Si Lei was also inside just now."
"Um?"
"I heard her talking to Bree, and saying things like 'What are you hesitating about' and 'I'm not here to help you'... I felt a little strange." Rico said softly, "It sounded like she was persuading Bree made a deal with her."
Hesta heard the implication of Rico's message, "Don't worry, Officer Si Lei is very reliable."
"Perhaps she is indeed reliable, but you don't know if she will be deceived by people like Bree," Rico said. "Why don't we see if she will take the initiative to bring up the conversation with Bree tonight -"
"No, if we want to know, we should take the initiative to ask." Hesta stood up in the wheelchair, "We should not set such a test for ourselves."
"But I remember you said before that Si Lei is not on anyone's side."
"Indeed, but—"
Just as Hesta was thinking about her answer, the phone in the room suddenly rang. Rico took a few steps to the landline and picked up the phone. After a while, she turned back to look at Hesta and made some gestures.
"Looking for me?" Hesta was a little surprised, she lowered her voice, "Who?"
"Meyer." Rico mouthed his answer.
Hesta didn't think for too long before he stretched out his hand to Rico and said, "Give it to me."
Rico handed the microphone over, but after the initial greetings, Hesta fell into a long silence, only occasionally sending out some "um" and "um" responses. At the end of the call, she looked at her watch and said, "Then How about tonight? You can decide the location before six o'clock."
After hanging up the phone, Hesta raised his head and said, "Roboglier has started distributing weapons to their people."
"What weapon?"
"Meyer hasn't gotten it yet, so she doesn't know the specific model, but she judged that it might be some fully automatic pistols and rifles, as well as some improvised grenades. She and Agnes will move out of the cabin tonight and go to the designated location to stand by."
"Roboglier is going to make some big move..." Rico crossed his arms, "What does Meyer want from you?"
"She wanted to see me and said it would be easier to talk to me in person."
Hesta turned towards her suitcase. She opened the lock and began to rummage through her luggage.
"What are you looking for?" Rico asked.
Hesta turned around and placed the "Instructions" on the coffee table between her and Rico, "When you were passing the restricted time, Si Lei brought three things over, all of which were Dietrich's relics... …”
Hesta whispered to Rico the note, diary and empty envelope he had seen before, and Rico suddenly understood - no wonder Si Lei wanted to find Bree.
"She went there to pray for Dietrich's confession, didn't she?"
"Maybe," Hesta's eyes returned to the "Instructions," "Can you help me take a look at it? I think we need to take another look at this Notice...since Dietrich specifically mentioned it in his last words. .”
"Magical." Rico stood next to Hesta. Since he did not board the ship at the Havre port, Rico did not receive the boarding instructions. Although everyone was talking about it in the past two days, Rico still Didn't read the whole article seriously.
"Too many things have happened in the past few days, and we have not made full use of the existing clues..." Hesta said in a low voice, "Assuming that Si Lei's previous inference is correct, the first rule of the rule corresponds to an undersea explosion. Article 34 is potentially related to Dietrich’s murder, and Article 5 explains the tasks after boarding the ship... So what is Article 2 for?”
Rico glanced at the second rule again:
"Second, the ship card will be your only valid identification for the rest of the journey. You need to keep it properly. However, before boarding the ship, theoretically there is no link where you need to show the ship card to anyone. You can only rely on paper With the ferry ticket and personal ID card, you can freely enter and exit the ticket gate, waiting room or board the ship directly."
Rico thought deeply: "Have you never used your ship card again after changing the room card?"
"Yes, Rob previously claimed that he would choose a lucky passenger to have lunch with him every day, just by drawing a number... But he probably hasn't been in the mood to do such things in the past two days."
