Why it never ends

Chapter 159 Polyphony
"Let's go back to Heinz," Stella's eyes lowered slightly. "Strictly speaking, she is not a typical 'Rich-style adopted daughter', because most of the time, Rich still prefers those orphanages where both parents died. Her parents were still alive when Heinz was adopted by Rishi—they moved from the countryside to the old town of Tanyi and lived in a small townhouse. This house is in the Heinz bought it when he was nine years old, the year Rich gave the couple a fortune.

"After bringing Heinz to Clier Farm, Rich hired a retired teacher from a church school in Tanyi to take care of Heinz's daily life. When Rich wasn't here, the old man taught her to read, write, Singing poems, the two would walk along the outskirts of the farm...like grandparents.

"Rich raised her like this for half a year, raising her from a scrawny girl to pure white. That winter, Rich came to the farm for a hunting vacation, and Heinz's parents came here with him. At that time She was so happy that she didn't know what it meant.

"At night, Rishi entered her room. She resisted desperately. Although there was no light in the room and she couldn't see anything, in the chaos, Heinz almost bit off Rishi's left little finger. Rishi was in pain. She screamed, and then two men broke in and held Heinz's hands and feet—she didn't know who the other was, but she recognized one of them as her father.

"After that, Heinz didn't resist any more. During the day, she still got together with her parents, as if she didn't know what would happen at night. That winter, Viscount Lisi had a great time and made a private promise to Heinz's parents , They will be given a 'care fee' every year thereafter.

"Heinz doesn't know exactly how much the money was, but she remembers it very well, because after her menarche at the age of 13, Rich stopped visiting her at Clier's Farm and sent her money every year. The money from her parents also stopped, and her father came to the farm to find her specifically for this, and asked her to ask the Viscount, 'Where's the money?'"

Stella frowned, staring at everything in the void, and asked in a low voice: "What a good question, where is the money?"

No one spoke in the whole living room, and Su Lei no longer looked into Stella's eyes, her eyes also quietly fell on the table, only the floor lamp behind the three of them was dimmed because of poor contact.

"Heinz learned about Rich's address in the city from a retired teacher, so she really went to Longfang Avenue alone, intending to ask Viscount Rich about why he didn't pay this year. She was wearing a lady's dress and Most of the servants in Rishi’s house have never seen her, but when she took the name card of a retired teacher and said that she was from Clier Farm, many people immediately guessed her identity. identity.

"In Rich's mansion, she also saw two girls who were equally young and delicate. When Rich's servant told her that these two children were also Viscount Rich's adopted daughters, she collapsed. She ran After leaving the viscount's mansion, she returned to the farm and was beaten by her father, but no matter how her father forced her, she refused to enter the city again.

"About that week later, when Richie came back from the field, he was furious when he learned that Heinz had visited his house on Avenue Longfontaine disguised as a 'lady'. How could the noble viscount Should his fame be tainted? He first drove away the retired teacher next to Heinz—because this old lady was a little clueless, and she was actually teaching a bitch how to pretend to be a lady. Then he ordered people to warn Heinz's father that if he dared to be greedy, he would make him pay the price.

"However, this incident got out of the news somehow, and the story of the Heinz couple's betrayal of their daughter suddenly spread wildly in the streets and alleys. Such shocking rumors naturally attracted everyone's attention, but none of these neighbors had seen Heinz, let alone I don't know which kiln or which distinguished customer this child was sold to. Everything is just a matter of chasing rumors and killing time.
"Fathers are ruthless to their children. Although it is hateful, it has long been commonplace. There is no point in discussing it. But Heinz's mother is also involved. This is really unheard of. Since this woman's viciousness has broken through everyone's bottom line, then wait. What followed her was a series of intimidation and insults, and finally, under the siege of justice, she chose to commit suicide.

"Later, this matter was reported to Viscount Rich. He felt that he was wrong, so he gave Heinz's father a sum of money to let him leave Tan Yi... Tsk, who knew that Heinz's father is now Where to be happy and happy, anyway, a rich single man will live well anywhere.

"Everything I have said above, you can read the corresponding records in this manual. If you want to check, you must be able to easily find clues, but I am sorry that I cannot personally tell you the real information of everyone here—— But I hope you'd better not check it out, just listen to it as a story."

"Why?" Su Lei said in a low voice, "If Rishi is really guilty of so many crimes, he should be severely punished by the law—why didn't you call the police?"

"Then...you'll have to ask old Inspector Schmidt." Stella replied meaningfully.

"Where is Heinz now? Is she still at Rishi's Clearyer Farm?"

"No, she's married and doesn't live in Tanyi now." Stella said softly, "She came to me last year and told me that she already had a child and her life is very happy now. She said that she I remember talking to me four years ago about some 'things that have passed', and now she's scared day and night—not because she's afraid of Rishi, but because she's afraid that one day I'll write about these things, and she's begging me to give She made a promise that these things would never be reported."

"You promised her?"

"How do you think I should answer." Stella turned her head slightly, "An abstract justice, and a concrete person's happiness...?"

Su Lei's thumb lightly brushed the cover of the black notebook, "Then what are you doing now?"

"Heinz is not the only person recorded in this notebook." Stella said softly, "Heinz is the most innocent one, she is a victim from the beginning to the end, anyone who hears it will feel pity... but There are many women here, and they are not so innocent.

"In the beginning, like Heinz, they were just ignorant and ignorant children. Some of them were trained to be the mistresses of other lords and businessmen after being played by Richie. They lured more women to follow their footsteps, as The evils that have been committed are enough to make the pure hearts of the civilized world dumbfounded.

"I had a brief chat with some of them, and some of them, like Heinz, have become ordinary people in the livable land again. Although there is no death penalty in the third district, the case that is extremely heated by public opinion is still There will be banishment regulations-they can't afford any good lawyers, and they can't manipulate public opinion. No pen will sing the praises of their sinful flowers. If they are really implicated, they will definitely be punished. Driven to the wilderness.

"Is this justice in a livable place, Officer Su Lei?"
