Why it never ends

Chapter 268 Intuition
"Why don't you go to the base hospital tomorrow—"

"No need, the wound doesn't seem to be getting worse now. This kind of repair surgery is more troublesome, and I don't think it will last in a week." Hesta interrupted softly, "As long as you don't directly participate in the battle, it shouldn't be a big problem, although Occasionally a slight loss of tactile sensation in the right hand, but it just needs to be removed and reinstalled... I guess the infection caused some loss of nerve signals."

Hesta put his arm back together and looked at Victoria, "If I leave suddenly now, I don't know what will happen again, so let me stay here. Four days have passed, maybe the assassin is very I will act soon, I don't want to alarm her at this time."

"But your sleep quality doesn't seem to be very good recently." Victoria asked, "Are you tired?"

"Ah."

"Which aspect specifically?"

"Do I have to answer this question?"

"Yes, because it involves the core of our entire mission." Victoria replied, "If you are tired now, then your persuasiveness to the assassin will be a question mark, rather than force you to stay in the Here, it's better to let you go earlier... Relax, Jane, what do you think, tell me about it. "

Hesta looked down and thought for a moment.

"I do feel a little tired lately, but I don't think it's due to any single task."

"That is……?"

"I don't like my rhythm of doing things is always disrupted, but since the Fernan case, I have to be led by various accidents. This is not the rhythm of tasks I am familiar with." She looked at Victoria lowered her voice slightly, "I'm still more used to acting alone."

"Does it bother you to be around other people like you are now?"

"Trouble? No, it's nice to be with everyone, but it's also easier to feel exhausted than before." Hesta looked forward, "It's just that I'm more used to pushing tasks forward step by step according to my own arrangement. ..."

Victoria pondered for a moment, "I probably understand this feeling."

"What behavior of mine recently made you start to worry about my competence?"

"Of course not, it was Chiba who called me in the afternoon and asked me about your situation..." Victoria patted Hesta on the shoulder, "If there is something that feels reluctant, don't hold on, and we Say."

"Yeah." Hesta nodded, she stood up and watched Victoria leave the room.

Although in the conversation just now, Victoria has been expressing concern, but Hesta faintly smelled a little doubt.

She lay down in the room with the lights off, and once again went through the things she had done and the things she hadn't done.

There should be...no flaws left.

……

At midnight, the terrace on the second floor was completely silent. The girls chatting here at night had already dispersed. Su Lei stood by the fence alone and looked at the night. She didn’t think about anything, but many thoughts were still running freely in her mind. come and go.

"I'm back." Victoria walked to Si Lei's side, "I've reported that Gray is Roger."

"Are there any new clues?"

"No."

"Not at all?" Su Lei was a little surprised, "He should still be very famous in your Mercury Needle, right?"

"You mean the assassination three years ago," Victoria leaned against the fence, "the mercury needles involved have been deported."

"What about the other mercury needles stationed in Tan Yi, none of them had a problem with him?"

"This will take some time. I will give you an answer at least tomorrow." Victoria said softly, "Is Tanglar's statement reliable? He said that Gray is Roger, and Gray is Roger?"

"Regarding this point, I will have to wait until tomorrow to give you a definite answer, but I can assure you that it is easy to verify." Su Lei looked into the distance thoughtfully, "It is really a pity that he disappeared suddenly at this juncture. It's a bit too coincidental."

"What's the coincidence? If you want to make a reasoning, you have to tell the evidence, police officer."

Su Lei laughed, "There's no need to deduce it when you have evidence. Reasoning is only useful when there is no clue."

Victoria looked at her, "Then what are you launching now?"

"It's not a push, it's just an intuition." Si Lei looked in the direction of Roger's mansion in the distance, "This Roger is probably in danger now."

……

Early the next morning, everyone went downstairs to eat as usual.

Even though Danglar had intentionally controlled his gaze, he still couldn't help but kept glancing at Hesta. His eyes crossed several times, and he found that Hesta really didn't have the slightest sense of complicity.

At this moment, he needs some encouragement from his companions, even if it's just a glance.

"Ah, Sophie!" Tanglar suddenly saw a familiar figure on the stairs, "You are finally willing to come out!"

Sophie didn't say a word, but smiled at Tanglar. She was holding six or seven books in her arms, all of which were brought back to the house temporarily the night before to write the long letter to Helen.

In order to make the content of the letter more convincing, she did her best to quote from the classics, and she also carefully chose the words to avoid the wording from appearing too obscure.Although the letter had been written at this time, she still didn't have the courage to deliver it in person. She just wanted to wait for Helen and the others to leave the manor before sending someone to deliver it in person.

Tanglar stepped forward very attentively, and he took the book in Sophie's arms, "Have you been reading these two days?"

"Yes," Sophie said shyly, "It was evening when I used the book, so I didn't tell you—"

"There's no need to care about such a small matter, just sit down and eat something." Tanglar patted Sophie's head carelessly, "I'll put the books away for you."

"...Thank you." Sophie looked at Tanglar's back in surprise.

Hesta also looked at Tanglar from the corner of his eye. He turned his back to everyone, and put the books in the corresponding positions on the shelf according to the size and type of the books in his hand——except for Sophie and herself, there was no one at the moment. Watch out there.

Suddenly, Danglars stopped moving, and the book presented by Villefort suddenly appeared in his hands, even he was slightly taken aback.

Opening the dark green cover, the title page of this book is still signed with Villefort's name.

Tanglar sighed secretly in his heart, this is simply a kind of providence!He opened the book naturally, and quickly stuffed the twelve blank photo papers Hesta gave him last night into the empty slot on the back cover.

After completing all this, Tanglar felt a burst of heartfelt satisfaction. This unexpected coincidence suddenly gave him a feeling that he was being favored by fate...it was so smooth.
