Chapter 46: Heart to Heart
Hitzfeld certainly knew what she was doing.
There are two parasites, one has been identified, but the other is still elusive.
This means that the suspicion against Aisuen Hitzfeld has not been completely cleared, and any form of contact with her may add to one's own suspicion.
"You'll be locked up too," she whispered.
"It doesn't matter. We can't find anything outside anyway, so why not come in and protect you closely?"
"If they can't find any evidence in the end, they might choose to shoot everyone here."
"They can only live a little longer. The Ash Legion will not believe any of their explanations. From the moment the seed landed in the town of Elnak, this place was destined to be destroyed."
"Are you willing to give it your all?" Hitzfeld looked up and stared at Xia Yibing's face.
"There's a high probability that I'll die anyway." The woman also looked down at her, "Why shouldn't I follow my instincts?"
Yes, intuition.
As a detective, a secret policeman, it does sound unprofessional to make judgments based on intuition.
But the cases she faced were never ordinary ones. Instead, they were often related to evil spirits in the dream world and monsters that came and went without a trace and left no trace.
When dealing with these things, it is useless to just talk about logic and evidence. Sometimes you have to rely more on your "spirit", that is, act on your intuition.
'Spirit' is an extension of consciousness.
It will intersect and come into contact with the dream world.
In cases involving dreams and evil, this intuition is not entirely a gamble. It may be the feedback of the truth to the real consciousness, but it just skips the whole process and projects a result.
Of course, this is a huge risk. No matter how confident a person is in his own "spirituality", he cannot always bet right.
But at least this time Xia Yibing is still willing to gamble.
Oh.
It should be said that as long as Aisuen Hitzfeld stood by her side, she would always be willing to gamble...
She was not without theoretical basis - Hitzfeld's physical and mental strength were weaker than ordinary people, which was more obvious a year ago. Since she was able to withstand the corruption of the evil god with her extraordinary willpower at that time, could the mere Death God Tree be stronger than the evil god?
Even if it was stronger, the Seed of Destruction was only a lower-level parasite of the Death Tree, and the parasites that split from the Seed of Destruction were even lower in level. She didn't think Hitzfeld would be unable to resist the corruption of this thing.
And Tasm Bissen has been diagnosed with heart problems. In his chest... in the folds of 'fat', there is a hidden crack under the skin.
According to the speculation that "the parasites are split from the heart and the brain", the remaining parasitic seed comes from the monster's brain.
If Hitzfeld was possessed by this thing, it would have to find a way to get into her brain.
And she described to me what was going on in her mind...
That eye, no matter it was the organ of a god or the flesh and blood of an evil god, the parasitic seed could not have any effect on her.
Xia is showing his hand...
Hitzfeld suppressed his pounding heart and forced himself to calm down.
You have to stay calm.
Xia's showdown meant that she placed all her hopes on "protecting her", which meant that she completely gave up her dominance over the case as captain and devoted herself to serving this side wholeheartedly.
Then she must make achievements to respond to this trust, she can't let this behavior really turn into madness before death!
"Let me tell you why I make this judgment." She said softly, "Nan Xinze's forbidden fruit case conveyed a message that the Eclipse Church knew very little about the Dead Silence Forest and the Death God Tree when they were studying the Black Snake."
"Are you referring to what you described to them, what Izabella told you in her dream?" Xia Yibing frowned.
"Yes, she explicitly mentioned that the goal of sending Casimir to infiltrate the library was to obtain intelligence about this thing." Hitzfeld confirmed.
"But let alone Sarah at that time, even Sarah now, judging from that file, you know almost nothing about this thing."
"So we can think of this whole situation as a competition - Sarah and Eclipse, both sides are competing to see who can figure out its secrets first. And the result is obviously that Eclipse has the absolute upper hand."
Xia Yibing was confused at first, but she was quick-witted and immediately understood the girl's subtext.
The first official appearance of the Black Snake was in 1963.
By the first day of 1964, it had consumed the city of West Grant.
Looking back, Warren Ford, a person who was crucial to the research and development of the Black Snake, died of illness in 1957. The evil disciples obtained special anesthetics from him. It can be basically understood that the research and development and manufacturing of the Black Snake officially began in 1957.
In the scene that Hitzfeld saw after taking the "holy fruit", Casimir's predecessor had worked together with Izabella. This time must have been after 1957.
It was basically the period from 1957 to 1963. This is certain.
It was during this stage that Casimir was sent to go undercover, which indirectly shows that the Eclipse Church at this time did not know much about the Death Tree.
They thought that this thing was similar to the Wisdom Fruit Tree and the Ice God Tree, and were all legacies left by ancient gods.
Since the Eclipse Church in 1957 didn't know what the Death Tree was, they had to use this method to gather intelligence.
How could they have used the Death Tree to cause a natural disaster in 1941?
Not to mention that the record of the Death Tree can be traced back to 160, 1823 years ago, which is too early. The Eclipse Church obviously has no connection with the Death Tree.
Her judgment was correct!
She broke out in a cold sweat - Xia Yibing then realized that what Hitzfeld said about no evidence simply meant that she was not sure who the other party was, not that she could not prove the existence of such an organization!
This organization...the organization that controls the Death Tree does exist!
This information alone is enough to prove it!
Combined with her description of the natural disaster that occurred in Alphonse after 1941, and the various strange things in the process...
She couldn't help but feel confused like the girl.
What do these people want to do?
"One more thing, don't you think Villefort is hiding some important information from us?" Hitzfeld continued to throw out explosive information.
Xia has completely trusted this side.
There is no need to be fussy about some things.
"you mean……"
"As the successor to the director, it's impossible for him not to know who Eric Heidegger is. But when I mentioned 'Heidegger', he and Year Ring were indifferent. Don't you think this is strange?"
"It's very strange..."
"The child he left behind was named Doyle Heidegger," Hitzfeld continued, "around 1941, when the child was six years old. Who are the agents in the Security Agency with names similar to 'Doyle' who are about the same age?"
"You mean Ethan?"
The woman stared sharply.
Ethan is definitely not getting any younger.
This can be seen from the description that 'he is often mistaken for the girl's father'.
"Oh... now that you mention it, I do hear Alex call him 'Doyle' sometimes." Xia Yibing put her hand on her forehead, "Oh... because he has amnesia... so he always forgets about his name change!"
And some of Ethan's abnormal behavior after coming to Ernak can now be explained.
Villefort trusts Ethan, and he hides this information to protect Ethan.
Including asking him to change his name so that the name 'Doyle Heidegger' disappears from the files.
The reason why Team 17 accompanied Hitzfeld to protect him this time was not only because they were familiar with each other, but also because an important purpose was to let Ethan investigate the truth of that year!
Bati-Villefort also had doubts about the natural disaster that happened more than 40 years ago!
This is also the attitude of the royal family!
The reason why Ethan acted so anxious was probably to wash away the sins in his blood.
He is not only looking for the truth, but also seeking redress and revenge for his father!
"Not only that." Hitzfeld shook his head, "You may have wondered why I made all these judgments without reading the archival materials."
"Actually, I have seen it. Someone passed me information. It is most likely him."
"A scheming guy."
Xia Yibing narrowed her eyes, then grinned.
"I was really fooled by him."
"And - he wasn't the only one who passed the message to me." The girl continued, "That was another note... It not only revealed Eric Heidegger's guilt but also talked about his relationship with Ethan. It also reminded me at the end that he couldn't be trusted."
"There is definitely something wrong with people who hold this view."
Xia Yibing jumped to the conclusion.
"Whoever he is, he is not one of us."
"It would be best to find him. He must know more than us."
"I think so."
Hitzfeld smiled.
"I've almost sorted out my thoughts now."
"I have a way to catch him."

Chapter 47: Finding Out
Pippen-Ovis felt a little uneasy.
Ever since he had performed that autopsy on Hem-Blitt, he had always felt uneasy, and he didn't know exactly what it was.
Seen too much blood?
Just kidding, if he had hemophobia, he would never have been able to pass those agent exams. He would never have been chosen by Zafira after all the tests.
In the end, he could only conclude that his spirit was too sharp. It might have discovered something and was giving him a warning, but he knew too little about the intelligence and was still unaware of the source of his uneasiness.
"Gather all?" He was stunned for a moment when he heard the news. "No, what do they want to do? Are they not guarding the thatched house anymore?"
"I don't know. I was just relaying the order." Grimm said at the door. "You'd better find some perfume to spray. This smell... is a bit obvious."
He could smell an extremely strong smell of blood through the door. If he hadn't known that an autopsy had just been performed inside, he would have definitely suspected that someone had been dismembered inside.
"Okay... I admit that I was wrong to always tease you before, but Alex, this is not a joke. Tell me honestly, what do they want to do?"
"If you can keep doing this, Orvis." The black man's face looked better. "...I heard a few people talking about it. It seems that the captain had some physical contact with Hitzfeld in front of everyone, and then he was unwilling to accept isolation."
"What the hell?"
"That's the truth. She said she trusts Hitzfeld 100%, but Agent Anmi insists that she should be isolated as well. They can't take any risks now."
"Agent Anmi, is there anything wrong with what you said?"
"But Agent Anmi's rank in this case is not as high as ours. Especially the captain. If she insists on making a decision, the others are legally required to cooperate with her."
"Well……"
Pippen frowned.
This is true - Team 17 is a special commissioner. In layman's terms, people in the special commission area can "see the official three levels higher" - it may not be that exaggerated, but it is certain that Agent Anmi must cooperate with them.
This creates a contradiction, which is a conflict between factual logic and legal opinions.
"What was the final result?" Pippen continued to ask, "I think the captain won, right?"
"How do you know?" Grimm was a little surprised.
"It's impossible for Ami to give the order to gather all the players. He doesn't have the courage." Pippen shook his head. "I think they should have reached an agreement. Ami will cooperate with the captain, but the captain must also accept a certain degree of supervision."
"You guessed right." Grim was even more surprised. "Okay, Ovis, I still have to notify the others. You should change your clothes quickly... You will have about ten minutes to prepare."
Pippen changed his clothes - in fact, he just changed back to his black uniform. He put his cap on and saw many people gathered around him chatting when he went out.
They are all police officers, and they are the power in Agent Anmi's hands.
By questioning these people, Pippen learned that the so-called mobilization of all manpower did not mean to summon all the 500 or so police forces in the town. Only those who gathered here were those guarding around Sina's House.
