Why it never ends

Chapter 408 Collection of Books
Hesta looked into the distance, and when everything calmed down, she bent her knees and sat on the ground covered in sweat.

Li Ke bypassed the scattered flesh and blood on the ground, and jumped close to the corpse and half of the skull.

"Look," Rico picked up a broken metal ring with a pen, "it's a neck bomb."

"I won't be surprised if anything appears on this ship..."

"Are you ok?"

"Stop asking such questions," Hesta unbuttoned his collar, and fell backwards a little weakly, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

……

About 10 minutes later, Su Lei rushed to the scene. The sea was overcast and it seemed that it would rain soon.

On the edge of the barrier, Rico and Hesta stood there without saying a word.

Su Lei looked at the two young men, "...Why are you two again, didn't you go back to sleep?"

"Suddenly wanted to come out to have a shower." Li Ke replied.

"My idea." Hesta continued.

The three looked at each other in silence.

Si Lei put on his gloves, "Tell me, what did you all see?"

Li Ke described the incident in such a way, and after a while, the crew member who opened the window at a high place was also brought to the scene. The descriptions on both sides confirmed each other, and the incident was quickly restored to a rough outline. .

Su Lei looked up at the flagpole in the accident. It had the same metal texture as the hull of the ship. The diameter of the flagpole was not too thick. Even if there was no explosion, it would be very dangerous for a grown man to hang on it.

"Why did he climb up the flagpole? Was he looking for something?"

"I don't know. When we saw him, he was gesturing to us, to the effect that we should keep quiet." Rico replied, "We wanted to go back to Bree, and then the gentleman opened the window and shouted, After that... 'Boom'."

The crew on the side couldn't help trembling with Lico's onomatopoeia.

After recording the key information, Su Lei closed the black notebook, and she turned to order two soldiers to prepare some materials for fingerprinting, and then asked another crew member to go to the monitoring room to say hello.

Several thorn monks finally rushed to the scene at this time, everyone's eyes were red and swollen, obviously they hadn't recovered from the conflict last night, Su Lei took them to the corpse to have a look. Nearly identifying the dead man, the men wept and whispered "Ashley".

Hesta watched all this.

"One a day."

"Huh?" Li Ke turned around, "What?"

"I said the rhythm of the murderer is basically one a day."

"...there are only twelve thorn monks in total," Li Ge thought for a while, "at this rate, it won't last for half a month."

Not far away, Si Lei turned around by chance, and suddenly found that Hesta and Lico were still stuck in place like two wooden stakes. She quickly approached, "You can go back first, it's going to rain, don't run around."

"Is there anything else we need to do?" Rico asked.

"Not for the time being, if there are other questions later, I will find you."

"Okay," Li Ke nodded, "but we don't live in the original room now."

"Where do you live?"

Li Ke asked Si Lei for a notebook and a pen, and wrote down the location of Chiba's room on a new page, "We should all stay here from now on."

Si Lei took it and took a look, "Okay."

"Then we-"

Before Li Ge finished speaking, Hesta suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the crime scene not far away, "...that, the wheelchair."

"Get a new one from Mantel first, this one can't be returned to you for the time being." Su Lei looked at Hesta, "It won't be occupied for a long time, I just need to go through all the evidence on the scene first. Summary check."

Hesta sighed softly, "...Okay."

……

On the way back, the two walked side by side, and Hesta's pace had completely returned to normal, and there was no longer any need for Rico's support or deliberately waiting.

"Why do you care so much about that wheelchair? I think you don't need it at all now."

"...You can't just throw it away, Turan carved flowers on it."

"What was engraved?"

"The flower is just an ordinary little red flower. I used to stop taking the medicine secretly for a while, but then every time I insisted on taking the medicine for fifteen days, Turan would carve a little red flower on it for me... now the color has faded." It's gone, but the outline is still very clear, just on the side of the left armrest... What are you laughing at, what's so funny about it?"

"I thought that Liz likes to do this kind of thing, and Turan will learn it sometime!"

"Anyway, I'm going to take that wheelchair with me..."

At the corner, a figure bumped into him suddenly, Lico and Hesta dodged at the same time, the person braked suddenly, lost his balance, and was grabbed by Lico's arm, but fortunately he didn't fall down, but the person in the person's arms The book was released in an instant and fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?"

"No……"

The two recognized the person at once, "Ah, Ms. Mantel, we are looking for you. We need a new wheelchair. Officer Sleigh told us to come to you."

"New...new wheelchair?" Mantel lifted the hat on her head, and quickly bent over to pick up the book on the ground. She patted the dust on the cover that didn't exist, and stuck the cover of the book to her bosom , "Do you want it now, or will I send it to you later?"

"Anything is fine," Li Ke said, "It depends on your convenience——"

"Just now." Hesta said suddenly.

"Then go this way, I'll take you to get your things first, and then go to register, is that okay?"

"Thank you," Hesta looked at the book in Mantel's arms, "What book is that?"

""When the Forest Sings", and there is a signed version of Ms. Anna Kosolova," Mantel said with joy, "I am so surprised that I have the honor to meet her this trip, and I have never Recognize her, you know—oh, sorry, I forgot that you are guests on board with Ms. Anna, you must know better than me, haha, look at my excitement—”

"We don't know each other well." Hesta said calmly.

"Huh?" Mantel looked over in surprise.

Hesta pointed to the book in Mantel's arms, "What is this book about?"

"...It's a popular science essay about the forest." Mantel hugged the book tightly in his arms, "When Ms. Anna was in her 20s, she went back to the uninhabited snowfield in District [-] to live alone. Seven months, the main line of this book is her seven-month memoir, interspersed with a lot of interesting knowledge."

"Can I take a look?"

Mantel immediately took a step back: "No."

Just as Hesta wanted to promise that he would read it carefully, Anna's book that had been changed beyond recognition appeared in his mind, and what he wanted to say suddenly became a little hard to say.

"If you want to read it, you can wait," Mantel smiled, "I usually keep this book with me, and I have two more for reading, and I can lend it to you later."
