Wine and Gun

She paused, then continued: "Perhaps after going around in circles to the end, you will find that the price you have to pay is no less than mine. At least I know that at this moment, you may feel more pain in your heart than me."

Herstal was silent, no one could see the word "pain" on his flawless mask.

"You know, I dropped out of high school and went out at the age of seventeen to try to find a job for myself, and finally took on a housekeeping job at the Sequoia Manor at the time." O'Reilly sighed and continued. , "Then I met Slade - he was very nice to me at first, I thought he was someone who really liked me and was willing to help me... Ha, anyway when he was in the storeroom of the manor before me, I really think so. Mr Armalette, these days have been the most relaxing time I've had in years."

That's why at that dinner party at Sequoia Manor, Aureli chose to chat up Herstal, maybe it was because she entered society too early to make her see people accurately, or maybe it was because she was born with that amazing intuition. She watched Herstal cut through the raucous crowd, frowning inconspicuously in the midst of a cross-flow of eroticism, a man with something deep in his eyes that led her to believe that this man had entered the redwoods The estate has another purpose.

Some subtle look in the man's eyes reminded her of herself looking at the mirror in the dead of night.

Aurelie still had that smile on her lips, as if her statement didn't hurt her. Then she said to Herstal: "I spent the night at the police station last night and it was the best sleep I've had in years - my testimony may not have been enough to convict him, and it may all be pointless. , but I always felt it was better than the other options."

"Perhaps what you're trying to say," Herstal pointed out dryly, "is better than my choice."

Aurelie still smiled, allowing the silence to ferment between them.

It was at this moment that Wallis Hardy walked out of the interrogation room, still frowning. Then she saw Herstal, but the next second she looked away awkwardly, her shoulders stiffened, as if she didn't know how to greet him, and she seemed even more angry than the moment before.

She walked neatly to Aureli, said words like leaving, and quickly brushed past Herstal, as if escaping.

Hestal stared straight ahead, wanting to sigh more than ever before, but the subtle voice he used to vent his emotions seemed to have been used by him to a negative value. There was no sound at the end.

Then he walked in the direction of the interrogation room - where Kaba Slade was sitting, and as soon as he entered the door he would look up politely and smilingly, as if he saw the man who had pulled him out of the lake of fire and brimstone. Savior.

He'd say, "Mr. Armalette, I'm glad you're here again."

"I've checked the reports about him—he didn't do anything good at all, right? He rescued the officer's daughter, and the reports say you were involved in that case." Midaren made sense, This is actually relatively easy to say. The real process is: he stalked and asked for a computer from the social worker to play with, just to secretly check the information of Hestahl.

"That's because he happened to be at the crime scene when we arrived." Hunter frowned and shook his head, "In the case of killing the butcher, he had no other choice but to help, and the case of Sequoia Manor No: he doesn't really need to come in this muddy water at all. And, child, people are very complicated, of course it is possible for a person to be enthusiastic about charity while doing all kinds of evil, no matter what you think, I want to remind you, and It's not like he's helped you in some way, he's got to be a good guy."

Midaren looked at him quietly, then nodded slowly.

"I see," he whispered, "but everything has to be for a reason—I want to know what the reason these people do for everything."

Hunter was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "God, you really sound like Molozer."

"Who is that?" Midaren asked curiously.

"An exceptionally powerful girl," Hunter said vaguely, then shook his head, as if to put some more complicated thoughts behind him, before continuing: "Anyway, my point is: Amarette There was no interest or dispute with Sequoia Manor, and his performance also proved that he was obviously not a pedophile; and, IMHO, he does not seem to be a particularly righteous person. So he has absolutely no reason to be a member He entered the Sequoia Manor as an identity and asked for the information from your mouth. Obviously he did not enter Sequoia Manor for a sense of justice, the police's entrustment or other reasons, so there is only one possibility left..."

"...What or who was he particularly interested in that place?" Midaren asked hesitantly.

"I think it's more likely that he's investigating someone unless he's actually Philip Thompson's illegitimate son and wants to get his inheritance back from Slade or something," Hunt joked. He said, "Actually, I ruled out the possibility that the matter was related to the Thompson family from the beginning. Thompson has two sons. If this matter has anything to do with Thompson, Amarette should start from his sons. .Then we can continue to exclude: it can't be the thugs or staff in the manor, Slade is very cautious, and rotates a group of staff every once in a while, it is difficult for anyone other than him and Rowan to know who the specific people are. Served at the manor. My friends at WLPD gave me a little inside information, but there were actually only three people who were resident at Sequoia Manor, Slade, Rowan, and the woman named Aurelie Delphine. "
