Hitzfeld suddenly turned to look at the woman, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Hitzfeld?"
"I hope you can trust me at any time."
"……what?"
"I said I'm not sure yet."
Hitzfeld quickly turned his head back.
"You just……"
"Well, just remember this sentence."
Chapter 66: Riot
Hitzfeld's words made Xia Yibing feel very strange.
Especially... She didn't understand the other party's next arrangement - Hitzfeld actually planned to move out of the Wicker Bar! They said they would act separately in the next period of time!
"Xia... I know you are worried about me, but I think the main purpose of Villefort arranging you to follow me is not to protect me, but to use the identity of Shadow Lion Agent to make trouble for me."
This is how Hitzfeld comforted her.
"And you can see the current situation. Although Bishop Jones can't see the situation clearly, after learning about the changes that happened in Ponceborg today, he must know who his real enemy is... so this kind of cover is unnecessary."
"So in order to save time and maximize the efficiency of the investigation, I plan to act separately."
"...what do you want to arrange?" The woman's lips moved for a while, but in the end she did not protest.
She couldn’t say what would happen to Nan Xinze and his group in the future, but at least her relationship with the girl had greatly improved.
Although Hitzfeld did not agree and did not even reveal a possibility, she also did not say that she hated it.
At least she was willing to face her and talk to her normally, which was the biggest gain.
Xia Yibing felt that she should quit while she was ahead... This was the knowledge she learned from novels.
"Strictly speaking, there is only one thing we need to do next." Hitzfeld held up two fingers.
"Assuming that the purpose of Harry's Library is to drive the Dark Monger Snake... to eat Nanxinze like it ate Sigrant, then we must find a way to solve this problem before this giant monster appears and wakes up."
This is not easy.
Xia Yibing frowned slightly.
Not to mention finding a solution, they are not even sure where the Black Snake is hiding, or even whether such a thing exists.
If the solution was so easy to find, West Grant would never have been abandoned.
"These are two examples. I don't think they can be compared together." Hitzfeld shook his head slightly, then asked, "I guess when the disaster broke out in West Grant, that incident was recorded in the Shadow Lion's internal archives...was the first time the Dark Serpent appeared?"
"Indeed."
"So, Xia, do you think that if a criminal commits a crime once, twice, or even three times, will he leave the same number of clues?"
"Of course not." Xia Yibing's face suddenly became clear, but she frowned again soon: "What did you find?"
Hitzfeld's words are obviously metaphorical.
Comparing Harry's library to a habitual criminal, the traces left by his multiple crimes can be verified and compared. Even with the most naive method, a rookie detective can find similarities between the two cases by comparing them.
In other words, by comparing the similarities between the newspaper war in South Sinze and the records of the disaster in West Grant, the probability of finding the cause of the disaster is definitely greater than it was back then, much greater.
But based on her understanding of Hitzfeld, if she had not discovered something and was not certain about it, she would not choose to take risks at this time.
She was curious about what that discovery was like.
Of course, she might still feel unwilling in her heart because Hitzfeld didn't intend to share this secret with her.
She couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times.
Hitzfeld wore a long black dress today.
The waist of the long skirt is designed to be constricted, which is not exaggerated, but enough to highlight the slender and delicate figure.
The skirt is slightly puffy from the waist down. Because it is autumn, there is a layer of pleated lining inside the skirt.
With Xia Yibing's height, at this distance and at this angle, one could only vaguely see a small section of her white silk ankle under the hem of her skirt.
As conservative as ever.
Look further up.
The first thing that catches your eye is naturally the girl's face.
fair.
Exquisite.
He looks serious because he is wearing an eye mask.
But her overly delicate face and the black leather collar on her neck diluted this seriousness. Instead, it made people want to hold her face in their hands and rub it and caress it, and it would be best if they could hear her utter a few shy complaints.
Of course, this is just a thought.
However, as she watched, Xia Yibing made an additional discovery.
Most of Hitzfeld's gray hair was loose, except for one part that was braided into a pigtail that fell sideways from her face to her chest.
Following the direction of the braid, one will naturally notice the bulge in the other person's chest.
In this regard.
how to say.
When I first met Annual Ring, I discovered that Hitzfeld's development level was very advanced.
Now it seems that this kind of advancement has not only not stopped, but has become worse because the other party's insomnia has been relieved and his health has improved.
So just——
A skirt that should have been a perfect fit.
The chest area is a little small.
It's very tight.
Looks like he's almost catching up with her.
"...Can you please focus a little?"
Hitzfeld frowned, with complaints hidden in his single blue eye.
With her observation skills, she naturally noticed that the other person was distracted.
Really - who on earth was she going through all this trouble for?
Is it unfair for her to be distracted at a time like this? Is it unfair for her to burn so many brain cells out of thin air?
"I'm going to find Casimir next. All you have to do is take the badge he gave me and go to the library to retrieve the reserved files for me."
Lifting up his skirt in front of the woman, Hitzfeld unconsciously pulled out a shield-shaped emblem from his leggings.
"Normally you have to go in person...but you were with me that day, so they should know you."
Pass the badge.
Xia Yibing instinctively reached out to take it.
But her vision was still focused on the wrong place, and the position of the connection was completely wrong.
"Ding!"
The badge fell directly to the ground.
"you!"
Hitzfeld was so angry that his chest was tight.
At the same time, he felt a little puzzled and a little guilty, wondering if his arrangement with Xia Yibing had caused any kind of blow to her.
Carefully observed the other person's expression.
everything is normal.
By the way, I also saw the bulge under the other person's dress shirt.
His face suddenly turned red, and he quickly turned around, squatted down, and looked for the badge.
Xia Yibing's pupils contracted violently.
late autumn.
It's cold.
Maybe it's to keep warm.
Perhaps it's the awareness of being a lady.
In short, when Hitzfeld squatted down, he naturally pressed the hem of his skirt with his left hand - at the bend of his knee, and completed the squat in this way.
She squatted very deep.
The fabric was wrapped tightly there, and from here, all the shapes and outlines were visible.
The standard hip width is wider than the shoulders...
The woman's eyes widened.
He is like this at this age. What will happen if he gets older?
Xia Yibing knew that what she was thinking was extremely rude, but she found herself as if possessed by a demon and could not take her eyes off the plump outline.
At the same time, no one noticed that a wisp of black gas was quietly rising from the shadow under her feet.
The black gas floated higher and higher, like a wisp of smoke, and flew out from the window gap.
"I've got it steady this time!"
Standing up again, Hitzfeld handed over the badge with a bit of viciousness.
Xia Yibing blinked, and her eyes became clear again. She consciously took the badge from her hand.
His frank attitude made Hitzfeld feel a little embarrassed.
"Are there any other tasks?"
Xia Yibing put away the badge, took out her pocket watch and took a look at it.
Even if Hitzfeld were to move, it would take time; her suitcase was still at the Wicker Bar, and she would certainly have to stay there this afternoon and evening.
The base was not far from the Wicker Bar. If one only went there to pick up something, a round trip would take at most two hours, with plenty of time left.
"In fact, what I want to do most is to have the Nanxinze Government Office issue a statement and cooperate with the existing armed forces to close down all those newspapers."
Hitzfeld's words startled her slightly.
"But this is obviously impossible." The girl grinned, "At least not in the short term."
“It’s not possible in the long term.”
Xia Yibing warned her.
"It is impossible for Feka Jones to agree to such an excessive request. If you want to do it, you have to die."
"Then I might really want him to die."
"you……"
"That's another reason why I asked you to separate, Xia."
Hitzfeld blinked his one eye and decided to reveal a little bit of his guess to the other party.
"I suspect that there is something wrong with this Archbishop Jones, but I am obviously a person that they are closely guarding, so..."
"I was hoping you could check him out for me."
Chapter 67 Reappearance
Hitzfeld left Ponceburg together with Xia Yibing.
It was Xia Yibing who drove her to the vicinity of Nanqiao Square, and she walked back to the Willow Bar by herself.
