Why it never ends

Chapter 208 Case
Almost in these short few minutes, Qianye understood everything.

She had to admit that the person in front of her was very similar to Hesta in every aspect, even to the point where she looked more and more like him.

However, when she pulled her attention away from all the details and just felt the individual that existed as "Hesta" in front of her... the sudden sense of strangeness was still hard to suppress.

Perhaps before hearing the assassin's whisper last night, Chiba would have easily attributed this difference to "something is really wrong with Jane's state", but at this moment, she had to fall back to another guess.

This kind of speculation is almost impossible to happen in real life, and even saying it seems absurd——

The person in front of him who looked exactly like "Hesta" might...not be Jane himself.

Chiba stared into the eyes of the solar eclipse, and this tiny possibility slowly took root and sprouted in her heart. The more her rationality questioned this assumption one after another, the more vigorous and vigorous this idea was, showing an unstoppable Blocking vitality.

Time passed slowly as the two looked at each other.

In this silence and silence, 5 minutes passed.

Campbell listened to the conversation between the two in another room-there was no recording device in this special visiting room, but it could be monitored in real time.

"Your court date has been postponed to the day after tomorrow, do you know?" Qianye said suddenly.

Eclipse nods.

"You are here, is everything going well?"

Eclipse shook his head.

"What are the specific aspects?" Chiba continued to ask.

Eclipse looked at her without speaking.

In another room, Campbell couldn't stop urging, "What about the picture? Why can't I see the picture now?"

"Still debugging... Yes, yes!"

"Okay, let me ask another question..." Qianye stared into the eyes of the solar eclipse, "Can I do anything for you?"

For a moment, everyone's breathing slowed down, and they were all waiting for the answer from "Hersta", but the person involved lowered his gaze, and even his expression didn't change.

Qianye moved the chair forward and whispered, "Is there anything I can do now?"

Eclipse was silent for a long time, and could only shake his head, "...I don't know."

Half an hour passed quickly in such meaningless conversation.

Campbell put down his earphones in desperation—Chiba Masaki also failed to bring about a miracle. He originally hoped that this only guardian would arouse some special reactions from Hesta. Now it seems that things are not as good as he expected. .

When the time came, the prison guards entered the visiting room and took "Hesta" away, and Chiba also stood up and prepared to leave. Suddenly, "Hesta" turned around, "Miss Chiba."

Qianye immediately pricked up her ears, "Say."

"During this time, if you feel worried or anxious about me, you can try meditation." Eclipse said softly.

Chiba was puzzled for a moment.

"I've been meditating these days," said Eclipse's voice softly, "Meditation can calm me down."

"... how to meditate?"

"Just sit quietly and focus all your attention on your breathing, a certain part of your body, or some imaginary image for a period of time," Eclipse blinked, "this is a great idea for beginners. Difficult, because everyone is always easily distracted, if you also encounter this kind of problem, I suggest you find a quiet place to practice, so as not to be disturbed by other people."

"...Like my own room or something?"

"Yes, an open place with few people is also very suitable." Eclipse looked at her deeply, "Maybe meditation can help you, I hope you can try it."

Chiba stood where she was, and answered after a while, "Okay, I will try."

……

In the corridor outside the independent prison, Chiba and Campbell walked out side by side.

"I heard that AHgAs will arrange psychological counselors for each member in the reserve base, is that true?" Campbell looked at Chiba's ecstatic expression, "Ms. Chiba?"

"Huh?" Qianye came back to his senses, "What?"

"Consultant?" Campbell repeated, "Hersta is still in reserve, theoretically she should have one in Tanyi—"

"Well, yes." Chiba nodded, "Do you want a consultant to come and talk to her? To be honest, I don't think it's necessary."

"……why?"

"You think she's not in a good condition now, but I think this may be a typical misinterpretation of mercury needles by ordinary people."

Campbell opened his eyes slightly, "Really?"

"You have also read her resume. Generally speaking, it is impossible to justify an excellent mercury needle like Hester without any eccentricities." Qianye paused, thinking about what to say next, "Geniuses usually have Some... are different, can you understand me when I say this? This phenomenon should be very common among ordinary people."

"But she hardly communicates with us, does that—"

"Maybe it's because she is still immersed in some of her own logical deduction. Of course, you can say that she may be frightened by the sudden disaster, or that she doesn't trust you at all, so she fell into a negative attitude and said nothing... ...But I think another possibility is that she didn't plan to ask for help before she figured out how to deal with the situation in front of her—this kind of situation also appeared in the previous Hesta battle."

"...So there is such a thing," Campbell looked awe-inspiring, he thought about Qianye's words seriously, and still seemed a little unconvinced, "But I... I have never seen it in the case file of Mercury Needle. "

"It's not surprising. After all, the Mercury needles that were sent to the inner court in the past are hardly as outstanding as hers. I believe you have also discovered that most of Hesta's data is currently confidential. If it weren't for the fact that Ava sent her With such a serious accusation, I am afraid that you will not have the opportunity to get in touch with her resume."

Campbell nodded.

"In short," Qianye raised her hands and put them behind her head, "my suggestion is to regard her as a unique and extreme case in your defense career. Habits, understand this as her way of controlling her own rhythm."

Campbell struggled, "...but how do I fit into this rhythm?"

Chiba looked up and thought for a while, "Maybe... just wait?"

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for her to give you instructions." Chiba replied, "I know it might be a bit difficult... But as a senior defense lawyer, you should be used to this kind of thing."

"Occasionally, there are situations where you need to fight alone." Campbell began to seriously consider the opinions given by Chiba, "Thank you for your advice, I really feel relieved a lot."

Qianye laughed, "You're welcome... what time is it?"

Campbell glanced at his watch. "Five minutes to nine."
