Why it never ends

Chapter 284
Si Lei's expression changed slightly, "...does this explain?"

"I can't explain anything for the time being," Trisha said softly, "Due to some reasons that I can't disclose, Eureka really needs more time to rush back here. What we are more concerned about now is that she has not responded to our news. "

"Then did you send someone to find her?"

"Yes, Victoria has already gone, I believe there will be an answer soon." Trisha smiled, "Wait a minute."

Su Lei pulled out the chair next to Teresa and sat down in the hall.

She was looking at the ceiling thoughtfully, with a serious expression on her face.

"What are you thinking?" Trisha handed a cup of tea to Si Lei, "Take it easy for now."

"Thank you." Si Lei took the cup and seemed to be talking to himself, "I just mentioned Eureka earlier, and I suddenly remembered that Gray is very special to her."

"Really?" Teresa was a little surprised, "Why 'special'?"

"There are some... details." Su Lei said vaguely, but did not expand.

These days, Roger hasn't visited the Viscount's villa many times. When investigating his recent activities, the police have checked all the people who have had contact with him recently, except for the one who sent Palan on a night walk. In the evening and during the walks in the pomegranate garden, Eureka had little contact with this person.

But Su Lei suddenly recalled the morning before Roger's disappearance. On that day, this man came to the Viscount's hall early like a peacock with its tail open. From perfume to accessories, everything was meticulously taken care of.

On the way to the pomegranate garden, he threw the topic to Eureka several times, although Eureka almost never answered it.

Obviously, Roger is very interested in Eureka.

But what does this mean?

Just based on Roger's unilateral closeness, can it be inferred that Eureka is indeed more likely to commit the crime?

As soon as this idea surfaced, it aroused Su Lei's disgust.

"Maybe my neighbor is suspicious." She looked up at Trisha, "Let's wait for news from Victoria."

……

At dusk, a car slowly drove into Tanglar's manor, and Trisha was already waiting at the door.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Eureka got off the driver's seat. Her left arm was wrapped with gauze, and one end was still hanging around her neck, but her movements were still brisk and agile.

"Sorry, I'm late... I didn't see the news of the assembly until after Victoria found me. Did I miss something?"

"No," Trisha replied, looking at Eureka's hand. "Are you hurt?"

"Yes, when I arrived at the cemetery in the morning, I found that there was a fire over there, so I followed the fire together. At that time, I was focusing on saving people, but I didn't notice a scaffolding falling behind me..."

Eureka raised her left hand and waved it vigorously a few times.

"But in fact, my injuries are not so exaggerated. The citizens who were fighting the fire insisted on taking me to the hospital. Later, I heard that Sophie had come back with you. I guess I can't go to the Duke's Mansion today, so I followed the others. Went to the hospital and got bandaged."

"It's a good job, really brave," Trisha patted Eureka's shoulder lightly, "but don't do it again next time, you shouldn't let yourself get hurt in these things."

Eureka smiled, "By the way, Victoria asked me to come back and report my whereabouts to you and Su Lei—where is Officer Su Lei?"

"inside."

After the initial cross-examination, Su Lei's doubts were partly eliminated, but she still asked to check Eureka's back in person.

Eureka in front of her was obviously not clear about the reason of all this - she didn't even know that today's assassin had fought against the mercury needles, she just looked at Si Lei with some doubts, "Why do you all want to see my back? I said I only hurt my left hand."

Eureka's innocent expression made Si Lei suddenly feel a little guilty.After making sure that the other party had no other injuries, Si Lei sat down again and stared at his fingers without saying a word.

——This afternoon, for a moment, she felt that she was indeed close to the truth.

But now it seems that this is just an illusion.

After Eureka got dressed again, she got up and looked at her phone, then turned to Su Lei and said, "Officer Su Lei, can I trouble you?"

"what?"

"I was going to go to the Duke's Mansion with Sophie to get some things today... But I couldn't make it." Eureka handed her mobile phone to Si Lei, "Ms. Palan said that she is near Longfang Avenue tonight When the dinner is over, she can help us pick up the things and deliver them to the gate of the manor tomorrow morning."

Su Lei glanced at the screen in a low voice, "Do you need a pass?"

"Ah."

"Okay." Su Lei nodded, took out his phone, "What time does her dinner finish?"

"It looks like seven or eight o'clock. I need to confirm with her again."

"Let her make a list. People are waiting outside, and ask others to get things for her." Su Lei said, "Is there a list?"

Eureka thought for a while, "Yes."

……

At night, a car was slowly driving towards the Duke's mansion. Hesta was holding the steering wheel. Huge sunglasses almost completely covered the upper half of her face, and a fluffy foxtail scarf blocked her jawline.

"Hello," she handed out Palan's ID card and a long book list to the policeman on duty at the gate, "I'm here to help Miss Sophie get some things."

Under the dim light, the policeman squatting at the gate barely compared the ID with the face of the real person. He bowed to the list of results, briefly glanced at the content on it, then raised his head, and respectfully treated the person in front of him, who was personally signed by Si Lei. The visitor who opened the mouth to allow entry, "Are they all books?"

"Yes, they are all books."

"Your Excellency, wait a moment, I will send someone in to look for it now."

"Wait!" Hesta raised his sunglasses slightly, "Can I borrow your garage? I just found out that my oil lamp is already below the minimum mark."

"Oh, of course, do you need help?"

"No, that will delay you too much, I can do it myself."

"Haha, you're very polite, then I'll take you to the garage first."

It was so cold in December that every word the policeman uttered turned into a cloud of white mist in the air. Hesta smiled and thanked him sincerely.

Half an hour later, Hesta's car left the Duke's mansion, and no one noticed anything unusual.

The dark underground garage was silent. Tanglar listened to the movement of the second hand of his watch. After guessing that there was no one around, he unzipped the package and turned over from the large black suitcase.

At this moment, he was hungry and his lips were dry. It was just an extraordinary period, and he really couldn't care less.Most of his escape route has been completed, although he doesn't understand why Eureka chose this place as the final connection point, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can escape in the end.

Facing the faint light, he checked the time - it was almost nine o'clock.

Tanglar heaved a sigh of relief, he just had to wait here until the middle of the night.

At that time, Eureka will send him to see Roger.
