Why it never ends

Chapter 1144 Call the Police

At this moment, many children rushed into the hall from the yard at the other end. They screamed and rushed over like the wind. Victoria shouted loudly, "Don't make loud noises in public!", and the children restrained themselves, but at the same time they had already run far away.

When the children and Sophie left, Meisnan faced the huge living room alone.

He was not alone here, but the servants could almost blend into the background perfectly when they were waiting in silence. He felt out of place in this place, and he wanted to get up and walk outside, but he seemed to be pressed on the chair by some force.

He scanned everything outside the window, hoping to see Hesta's red hair or hem at some point. Although he felt that he was simply wasting time sitting here, he did not act rashly. This moment of being forced to sit quietly seemed to be an opportunity... So he calmed down and tried to adapt himself to this long-lasting feeling of desire and fruitlessness.

Sophie's words "Why did you have to follow me?" swung regularly in his mind like a pendulum - Sophie was only asking him why he had to follow her to the farm, but in fact, what he should really ask himself was why he had to follow Hestag all the way to District 12.

If we trace back to the beginning of it all, it probably started with the gazes they exchanged in the piano classroom, but that was just a rather dramatic accident. He had a vague feeling that there was something more important hidden beneath this intuition.

Whether it was Sophie, Ksenia... or Hesta, he felt that he naturally stayed by their side, just like a piece of iron filings would feel the magnetic field of a magnet - that magnetic field was their existence itself.

Whether it is Ksenia or Sophie, they all know so clearly what they are doing and what they are going to do... Their passion, rationality, and the courage to naturally anchor their own position in the world are what Meisnan himself does not have. He is like a hollow person, naturally attracted to real things. He follows the heat and weight that belong to them, and his originally thin existence also takes shape because of this.

But Hesta... Hesta was different. When he followed Hesta here, he clearly felt that what he was following was not a concrete person, but a silent and profound order.

This order did not depend on Hesta's words or actions - even if Hesta never really tried to convey anything to him, her steps, her silence, her casual gaze... were meaning in themselves. He was attracted to these things, even if they were not gentle... and even never responded.

He had a vague feeling that he would get an answer from Hesta - perhaps in her existence, he could find the way in which he was placed in the world.

During this long meditation, the sirens suddenly sounded outside. Mei Sinan looked up and saw a huge motorcade passing by the palace. He finally stood up and walked to the window, following the motorcade. Several mercury needles came down from the second floor quickly.

"What happened just now?" Zoe asked.

"...I don't know." Meisnan replied, "It seems like a lot of police officers went there."

Endai followed closely behind Zoe, and the two of them rushed out of the palace gate at a rapid pace. Meisnan was stunned for a moment, and soon followed them and ran out together.

……

In the family quarters south of the farm, many people did not sleep all night.

Hesta sat on a grass hill made of three hay bales, looking solemnly at the more than 20 men who were tied and hung together. Their tongues had been cut off, and the executioners used hot charcoal to stop the bleeding. When the police arrived, the place was already full of grief.

A middle-aged man got out of the police car. He took a quick look at the scene and guessed what had happened.

"What happened?" he asked coldly, "Who called the police?"

"Me." Hesta jumped down from the height and stretched out her hand to the man, "What's your name?" "Andre, I'm the police inspector of the royal territory of Emanlia," he shook Hesta's hand, "I recognize you, Inspector Hesta, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"You sound like a very reliable police officer." Hesta smiled. "We uncovered a very serious assassination case last night. Twenty-seven men here participated in the assassination of Governor Arevalo not long ago. They planned a tragic arson case and almost caused irreparable harm to the life of the Governor."

The middle-aged man frowned: "What's going on with their mouths..."

"They were afraid of interrogation, so they cut off their tongues last night when we weren't paying attention," said another man standing behind Fatima. "But we heard their testimony. You can ask us any questions you have."

"...Let's take him back first," Andre said, "It looks like he needs to be sent to the hospital first."

As soon as he finished speaking, several men kneeling on the edge fell to the ground. A police officer came forward to check, and then turned back: "...dead."

"Take them to the car first." Andre ordered, "Call the central hospital and ask them to prepare a bed."

"Yes!"

Andre turned around and faced Hesta again: "I also heard about the fire on the farm a few days ago. I had already decided to send the police, but considering that you didn't take the initiative to report it, I thought Mercury Needle had his own plans-"

"Indeed." Hesta nodded. "So now I'm handing the person over to you. How do you deal with him? I'm not familiar with the laws of District 12. Just follow the rules and regulations."

"Of course..." Andre nodded, "But there may be many things in the future that require your cooperation..."

As he spoke, he looked at Fatima not far away - her cheeks were almost bloodless, she stood there haggard, her eye sockets sunken, and looked extremely frightened.

"Oh, madam, are you okay?" Andre walked up to Fatima. "Why are you here?"

"Ms. Fatima will go back with you in a little while," Hesta said. "She will tell you everything that happened from last night to this morning."

“Really?” Andre looked at Fatima uncertainly, “Or you can take a rest first—”

“No, Inspector,” Fatima whispered, “I’ll go with you today.”

Zoe and Ende arrived at the scene at this time. They smelled blood from afar and didn't know what was going on. Then they saw Hesta walking out of the park's gate.

"Jane, what's wrong?" Ende ran forward, "Why are there so many——"

"It's over." Hesta patted Ende's shoulder, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
