Why it never ends

Chapter 224 Born For This
"Neither." Hesta replied, "Fernan died that night, four or five cars entered and exited his manor, and I slipped in when I saw the opportunity."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

"But the entrance is monitored, and all the people who entered and exited the manor that night should be—"

"Don't worry about this issue anymore," Hesta said softly, "If you need it, I can go to the scene to demonstrate it again. Others, it's useless to say more."

"So, after that? What did you do?"

"After sneaking into the main building, I lurked in the attic on the top floor. Fernan's bedroom was on the south side of the second floor of the villa, but he was active in the basement almost the entire first half of the night that night. Around one o'clock in the morning, I heard him and several bodyguards Going upstairs, I sneaked into his bedroom at [-]:[-] in the morning during the security shift, and by that time, he was already dead."

At the trial seat, the judges have already found some corresponding content in the previous investigation results of the police according to Hestad's account. Except for some details, additional investigation is needed, and the overall discrepancy is not significant.

"Then, why did you kill Fernand?" Robin asked, "What was your motive?"

This time, Hesta did not give an answer immediately.

She seemed to be hit by this question, so she fell into silence briefly, and then she raised her head to look at the people on the trial seat.

"That's exactly what I want to say today, what I want to say. It touches on my whole experience before joining AHgAs, so I ask Office 004 to reassess the level of confidentiality of this case to see whether it will continue to be heard by the internal court , or completely hand over to the headquarters for processing.

"But no matter what the result is, I will cooperate."

In the trial seat, the judges talked in low voices again.Campbell in the audience ignored Hesta, and he tried his best to ask the court to temporarily suspend the trial of the case because the defendant was likely to have been coerced, and he was always "not sober."

The judges bluntly rejected the request, but they quickly announced a 10-minute adjournment - the judges needed to go to the lounge for a brief discussion and report the change to both the Coalition government and AHgAs.

The trial seat was empty, and soon Robin also left the public prosecutor's seat. Campbell's expression became a little ferocious. He lowered his voice and asked Hesta fiercely, but Hesta sat quietly with his eyes closed, turning a deaf ear to everything.

Hesta's silence further enraged Campbell, and when he got up to grab Hesta's left arm, a hand landed on his shoulder.

Campbell turned his head and saw Chiba standing behind him at some point.

"It's too boring in the courtroom," Qianye looked down at him, "Let me go out for a walk with you."

The adjournment actually lasted nearly an hour.

When Hesta's second round of interrogation officially started, the entire courtroom had become empty.Only the presiding judge and one judge remained in the trial seat, all the jurors in the jury seat avoided, and the auditorium was empty—even Qianye was asked to leave temporarily.

Prosecutor Robin sorted out the logic of her questioning in her mind for the last time, and then she will complete the detailed questioning of Jane Hester-originally this matter should be done by Campbell, but considering that the old man had not long ago The overreaction in the court and the behavior of leaving early, the final candidate was replaced by her.

Robin got up and walked over to Hesta.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah."

Robin himself was curious about the past of this young Mercury Needle.

……

……

"A long time ago, I heard from her that there is a monument to the War of the Fourteenth District at the southernmost tip of the Vilyuchinsky Wasteland.

"She said that the monument says 'the noblest man, the most cruel test, the purest ideal, always realized at the heaviest price'. I have always wanted to see it with my own eyes, but never had the chance .

"At that time I was very young, maybe five years old? Four years old? I don't have a clear memory."

Hesta spoke slowly, but Robin recorded quickly.

"Since when did you know that the old man who raised you was Joan Valerie?"

"A few years ago." Hesta replied softly. "The name Joan Valerie is called by outsiders. We call her Elise."

"Was Elise your primary caregiver in childhood?"

"Of course not, she is very busy." Hesta recalled softly, "In fact, everyone in the Commonwealth is very busy, and none of them can devote a long time to taking care of the children, so everyone It's like shifting on duty."

"Are there many children like you in the Communist League?"

"a lot of."

"Are you going to go to the battlefield at a young age?"

"It's not a bad thing..." Hesta said lightly, "Elise said that I already knew how to disassemble a gun before I could speak, people like us don't need meticulous care, we know What to do when."

"It sounds like you enjoyed your life at the Commonwealth."

"I like it, and I don't like it." Hesta looked into the distance, "In the wilderness, especially in places like Duan Ming Lane where the weak prey on the strong, the strong are often everywhere. I have seen many such people. They try to make rules, Forcing others to obey, the result is not long before being replaced by others.

"Others indulge in sex, drunkenness and dreams, even if they die one day, you will not know the news of their death, they just disappeared suddenly, disappeared...

"In short, in that kind of place, no one can leave a name for long."

Hesta looked at Robin, "Can you understand this feeling, Ms. Robin?"

Robin also stared into Hesta's eyes, she could see the teenage ambition in these eyes, it was burning like a fire, hot and sincere.Robin herself appreciates this kind of vigor, and in her eyes, it is far better than those who are not suitable for their age.

In silence, the two watched each other.

"How long has the Communist League taken care of you?"

"I've lived with them as long as I can remember," replied Hestad. "Although Elise seldom takes care of my daily life, she attaches great importance to our education, and she likes to ask us what we will do when we grow up. What she wants to do, some people say that she wants to be a general or a king, she is very happy, and some people say that she wants to be a tailor or a cook, she is furious."

"Interesting," Robin laughed. "How did you answer that?"

"Me?" Hesta murmured in a low voice, "I want to make a mercury needle."

Robin glanced at Hesta with some surprise. Hesta was looking up at the height, and the shackles on her hands and feet collided with each other with her movements, making a cold crash.

"I was born to be Mercury, and I knew it early on."
