Why it never ends

Chapter 300 Knowing
At nine o'clock in the morning, Villefort was confirmed dead.

Villefort's death was a huge blow to most of the mercury needles. Zoe almost collapsed. She had repeatedly checked every room in this mansion. She couldn't explain where Villefort's suicide gun came from. .

Sophie cried and accused everyone present. She cited Su Lei's reasoning from yesterday and repeated several times, "This is not suicide, this is a siege that you all conspired with! It's murder! It's murder!"

Victoria didn't say a word, she sat on the sofa in the hall with her forehead resting on her hands.

Whether it was Villefort's unbearable pressure or the assassin's last trick, she has no way of knowing, but since practicing, she has never felt as humiliated as she is today.

The Assassin will no longer appear.

I will never have another chance to catch her.

At [-]:[-], Su Lei walked into the living room, "Where is Ms. Alvira?"

"Upstairs." The butler replied.

"How dare you come to our house like nothing happened!?" Sophie rushed down from the second floor, and she grabbed Si Lei by the collar, "I told you yesterday that my uncle would never be able to fight this kind of murder!" You don’t believe it’s linked to the case! Now that he’s gone, he’s proven his innocence with his death! Are you satisfied... are you satisfied!?”

Si Lei sighed, and she squeezed Sophie's wrist, "I understand your current mood..."

"What do you understand?! Do you understand?? You accomplice!" Sophie screamed and stared at Si Lei, her voice trembling, "You've thought of it, you've thought of everything, but you didn't stop them... You are an accomplice, an accomplice!!"

With a little force, Su Lei broke away Sophie's hand, "Butler Townsend, can you come over and do me a favor?"

The butler stepped forward and held Sophie down with a complicated expression.

Su Lei straightened his collar, and said to the servants beside him, "Ms. Alvira, please come down."

The servant glanced at the butler, and the butler nodded, before he quickly walked up the stairs.

After a while, Alvira came to the hall.

To everyone's surprise, Alvira's footsteps were calm and light as usual, but when she sat across from Si Lei, Su Lei immediately noticed his pale face and red eyes. Si Lei didn't know how to speak for a while.

She thought about her words, but she didn't expect Alvira to ask first: "What do you want from me, officer?"

"Um... about the Duke's death," Su Lei said in a low voice, "I think you should know something about it."

"Are you referring to those evil deeds committed by Tanglar and others through foreign aid organizations?"

"……Um."

Alvira showed a sad smile, "...that has nothing to do with us, officer."

"but--"

"Villefort may not be considered a noble-minded person, but he is unlikely to have anything to do with such a horrible thing," Alvira said softly, "We have lived together for decades, my husband, I I understand."

Si Lei hesitated to speak, she was silent for a long time, and finally stood up, "Can you please come out with me?"

"Where to go?"

"Just outside, Roon Palace."

Alvira sat with her eyes closed for a while, then stood up, "Okay."

When Alvira followed Si Lei to the outside of Roon Palace, Sophie also rushed out, and she held Alvira's hand tightly, as if this could give him strength.

Before entering the gate of the palace, Alvira noticed people in police uniforms howing the ground.

"What are you digging for?"

"You'll know when you come with me."

When the three came to the sunken dance floor and opened the door, Alvira saw eleven skeletons in the center of the dance floor.

For a moment, she was stunned.

"……what is that?"

"It was found in the secret room behind the dance floor, buried at a depth of about three meters underground." Su Lei said softly, "When we inspected the scene the night before yesterday, we found a finger bone behind a vase in the corner, which means The murderers didn't even clean up the place after committing the crime... So I guess they probably didn't pay attention to the body.

"Yesterday morning, I went here again to check, and found that the pattern of the floor tiles in one of the secret rooms was messed up, so I called the police station and asked them to come and dig up the ground to take a look... They didn't know why they delayed I've been here all day and just came this morning."

Slay paused, she had already walked quickly along the stone steps to the center of the dance floor.

"The humerus, ulna, radius, femur, and tibia of these remains are mostly broken, and they may have experienced very cruel dismemberment in front of them; moreover, there are only bones in the excavated things. I am afraid that when the people were buried, these corpses did not exist. wear clothes."

Su Lei looked up at Alvira who was standing on a high place.

"These remains have been buried in the ground of Rohan Palace for more than ten years, madam."

Alvira stood where she was, looking at the dense bones not far away, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Si Lei looked at her, "The Duke mentioned some details in ambiguity many times before his death... I believe you must still have the impression, how much does he know about these things, and how much do you know?"

"I……"

Alvira's breathing gradually became short, and a biting chill climbed from the bottom of her feet.

"I never..."

A burst of dizziness struck, and Alvira was almost unsteady on her feet. She took two steps back stiffly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sophie immediately grabbed one of her arms, but Alvira still fell heavily on the ground.

"Doctor...doctor!"

……

three days later.it's clear.

Palan parked his car downstairs in the Mercury Needle apartment in Tanyi City, and quickly went upstairs with a bottle of wine.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. She looked at the house number, found 607, and rang the doorbell.

"Here we come." Hesta's voice came from behind the door, followed by the sound of the bolt twisting, "Push the door down."

Palan pushed open the door - the layout of the one-bedroom room in front of him was exactly the same as the one in Chiba, except that there was no furniture, and all the windows in the room were open, simple and bright.

Palan closed the door, she changed her shoes, walked from the entrance to the living room, looked around, "Are you cleaning?"

"Well, now that my identity has been restored, I can now have a fixed room of my own in the apartment."

"Is the injury all healed?"

"Maybe another two weeks... But hygiene can be done with one hand."

There was a sound of water in the bathroom. Hesta simply rubbed the stain on the rag, quickly took off his gloves, and returned to the living room.

Palan put the wine on the coffee table by the window, and walked half a circle around Hesta with a half-smile.

"It's really different... It's only been a few days? The fever has subsided, the complexion has also improved, and the whole person's energy has been revived?"

"How could it be that exaggerated?" Hesta laughed, "I still had a low fever last night."

Palan turned around and sat down on the only chair in the living room, "Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"
