Asfen tipped his hat to her.
"Your Majesty suspects that someone is trying to harm you. For a long time to come, I will do my best to protect you."
"You said you have the authority to answer the question I just asked."
Hitzfeld stared at the two black eyes embedded in his eye sockets.
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Oh..." Asfen narrowed his eyes slightly after looking into the strange golden pupil, "These two things are very strange..."
"eccentric?"
"Yes. First of all, I can tell you that the ruins of Harry's library have been found in reality. It was disguised as various welfare homes and shelters, and there are more than one. Many of the core members of the Holy Fruit Society that you were tracking down came from these shelters."
"Were they contaminated when they were orphans?"
"That's about it." Asfin sighed, "And Izabella, Agent de Casimir's mother..."
Hitzfeld's breath hitched.
"She's dead," Asfen said. "The injuries were assessed and it was confirmed to be suicide."
Hitzfeld didn't say anything, but the anger in his chest slowly subsided.
"We found her in the ruins of a library. After a detailed examination of her body, we discovered that she had reached a symbiotic relationship with a... well, a very strange plant. Her death meant that the plant would also fade back into a seed state and grow again. And this is what touched us the most.
To strange places.”
Asfen softened his tone a little.
"Because the vitality of that thing is very strong, it can even be said to be very terrifying... If there is no major change, a thing like it can almost achieve immortality."
"Not to mention the changes that happened to the Black Snake at the same time..."
At this point, he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and read:
"According to Joe Cole... and even the description of the lady next to you, 'The monster in the sky is struggling like crazy as if it had taken poison. Every time it twists, you can see layers of black smoke falling off its body and dissipating. This process is visible to the naked eye and is absolutely certain, but
No one knows what caused this incident, to the point where such a terrifying evil god seed actually disappeared in this form...'"
"So, Esun Hitzfeld." He raised his eyes, "Perhaps you can answer... these questions for us?"
"Paper, pen."
Xia Yibing immediately jumped over her, grabbed a notebook and pen from the drawer and handed them to the girl.
Hitzfeld didn't say much, just opened the notebook and started writing.
She knew the process of these report materials, and after writing a few pages, she directly covered the entire text and signed her name.
No one disturbed her during this process.
After writing, he handed the notebook to Asfen.
"Let me see……"
The puppet took the notebook, took out a pair of glasses from his jacket pocket and put them on.
"Um... the woman in the blue dress, Schneider Harry, the real owner of Harry's library."
"Warrenford is still alive? He was killed by Schoenaert-Harry, and then she stole his body and resurrected him with the Necronomicon? Maybe he's still active now?"
"Izabella was hit hard by De Casimir's defection, and her emotions got out of control, which caused the Black Snake to riot. The Black Snake's subsequent abnormal reaction may be because it accidentally ate the fruit produced by De Casimir..."
"All information comes from the sea of information in the library... The information fog generated after the fruit explodes allows people to see illusions in it..."
"Um……"
After pondering for a long time, he put down the notebook and sighed exaggeratedly: "Great deeds... I must pay my highest tribute to you and the sacrificed Agent Casimir."
As he said this, he stood up, put his hands on his chest, and bowed deeply to the girl.
"But I want to confirm it."
When he looked up, Hitzfeld saw a sharp reflection in his eyes.
"Are you sure... that the Black Snake died because he accidentally ate the fruit produced by Casimir? Are you sure that he was the one who ended this disaster?"
"determine."
Hitzfeld looked him straight in the eyes, his expression calm.
"Are you sure he has been on our side from the beginning to the end and has not taken any actions that are beyond the scope of the law?"
"determine."
Hitzfeld nodded again, then said, "That question seems to me an insult to his sacrifice."
"If you doubted him, you shouldn't have sent him in the first place."
Asfen stood at the head of the bed, and their eyes met for a long time.
"I will report the situation to His Majesty truthfully."
Asfen nodded.
"Casimir...if everything is true, there will definitely be a lot of people attending his internal memorial service..."
After asking a few more irrelevant questions, Asfen stood up and said goodbye.
"Hitzfeld..."
Xia Yibing sat on the edge of the bed, took the girl's hand, and looked at her with concern in her eyes.
Hitzfeld seemed changed when he woke up.
Become more calm and composed.
Although it seemed like a good thing, behind this calmness, she always felt that the other party was carrying something much heavier than before.
This made her heaviness look naturally gloomy.
Very depressing.
It made her feel very uncomfortable.
"I'm very good."
Hitzfeld took her hand in return and smiled at her.
"About our relationship... Xia."
"I thought about it."
"If we can keep fighting like this without either of us dying."
"Then I think it will proceed naturally and eventually bear fruit."
"Hey?"
Xia Yibing was stunned.
Then boundless joy welled up in my heart.
Is she... indirectly agreeing?
Maybe it means... not refusing... just getting along as friends for now... and seeing how it goes?
Seeing the joy in the woman's eyes, Hitzfeld's heart twitched violently.
Just like the secret she decided to carry.
Just as she decided to protect the nobility.
She was indeed too persistent about some things.
Now that she has made it clear why she was given special treatment by the City of the Dead, it means that she is not completely indifferent to Xia Yibing.
Then consider the risks you're taking for this woman.
So this is what love feels like...
Not greed.
But sacrifice.
She couldn't help but think of that face that deserved a beating again.
thank you.
……
Casimir.

Thank you very much~
Then the summary:
Because many readers were not satisfied with the previous summary, we will say more this time.
What this volume wants to talk about is actually very simple. On the surface, it is a story about how evil people use agenda setting to brainwash society, and the disaster that is ultimately caused is prevented in advance by the guardians.
But it is very difficult to write such a story well, especially in an imaginary other world. Because many concepts that seem natural when put into reality will feel detached when forced into another world, which may be very distracting.
So it needs to be polished, given a layer of skin, and it is necessary to deceive the audience in the early and middle stages.
It is said that the essence of detective novels is to deceive readers and audiences... Although ours is not a serious detective novel, at best it is just a layer of detective fiction, but the main theme must still be adhered to.
After all, "everything is for the show effect."
Let’s start from the beginning… The strange stories in the preface lead to the background of the following story, but this time I don’t intend to describe this family in detail, because in this volume I want to focus on “contrast”, “sacrifice” and “love”.
If the family in the prologue is used as the starting point, then the story I want to write might be... Hitzfeld tracks down the male owner's sneaky actions, which leads to Harry's library, and then in the battle with the library, the male owner sacrifices himself to protect his family - or the female owner or even the children sacrifice themselves to protect their father, causing the father to repent and die together with the evildoer... probably something like this.
This is too old-fashioned and too routine. I can't even read it myself, and I certainly can't write it out for others to read.
So I changed my entry point.
Since this is a newspaper war, there is definitely no problem in using newspapers as the starting point.
Oh, by the way, there is a hint of the ending of be before this - it is the novel "Ah! Seagull!" that Detective Xia read on the train.
Annaleka was made a marquis and prime minister but forgot her promise, and the shepherdess Phil waited for many years and turned into a seagull.
This novel within a novel is undoubtedly a tragedy. The reason why I put it in this position is to metaphorically describe the following plot and even the ending - Annaleka is like a person who eats the fruit of wisdom. After being granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, she obtains status, dreams, and wealth... All of these can be seen as the wisdom and experience gained after eating the fruit.
What Phil represents here is naturally the human nature, honesty, integrity...all the good things that remain in the human heart.
Annaleka's disregard for her promises is like people's disregard for themselves after eating the sacred fruit.
Just like people who have been struggling in a materialistic society for many years, looking back at their youth, they despise their childish self, despise and even denounce the persistence and bottom line they once held.
But I think this is wrong.
Even if it has always been like this.
I also think this is wrong.
There are always some bottom lines that should be followed, and there are always some noble things that should be sung.
I think this is why we are human beings and not animals.
If there are no other accidents and the story continues to develop in this way, even if Hitzfeld discovers the truth of the case from various clues, she will not be able to escape the fate of becoming Annaleka in the end.
Yes, many people think that "Phil" corresponds to Hitzfeld and "Annalieka" corresponds to Detective Xia.
Actually, it’s not like that…
I don't know if this counts as a joke - but if someone really misreads the meaning here, then I...
Hehe, I will be a little gloating~
Here we have to talk about the issue of CP getting along. Many people, including myself, thought at the beginning that what I was going to write was another "Emerald".
The same main and bottom position, but changed from 1vn to 1v1.
That would be too boring. Even if the writing style and story are improved compared to Jade, I still think it is not good.
So I was going to do something new: to really portray the masculine side of Hitzfeld.
Where does this part begin to manifest?
