"You mean Anna?"
After listening to Hitzfeld's point of view, Xia Yibing and Ethan frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" She stared at the girl with an incredible expression.
"Anna-Gre..."
"Anna Guglielmo was not taken to the hospital at all.
Chapter 48: Horrifying
He stared at the woman for a long moment with a frown on his face, as if Hitzfeld hadn’t heard clearly: “What…did you say?”
"Anna Griet wasn't here forty years ago!
"Are you sure?"
"I'm going to take over now. I'm going to take over now. I'm going to take over now. I'm going to take over now. I'm going to take over now! "
"I remember the account about Anna-Gree very clearly. She was sold to the slums by the corrupted Ivan not long after she was born. Anna-Gree thought that both her husband and daughter had met with misfortune, so she had a big fight with her superiors. The reason why she backed off and stopped pursuing the matter was because our people followed the clues and helped her rescue her daughter from the slums."
"That's true." Ethan drank some water and felt that his breath had recovered a lot. He immediately helped to add: "The family she was sold to originally planned to raise her and then sell her, but because the man was in debt, he had to hand her over to a group of thugs who knew nothing in advance. I remember that year's famine was severe. When our people found her, the group of people were gathered together to discuss that if they couldn't sell her for a good price, they would-"
Having said this, he paused and started coughing violently due to a stitch in the side.
"Ahem... Anyway, as long as you know... ahem... that's exactly what happened... ahem... that's all..."
Hitzfeld listened in a trance.
She didn't care at all about what Ethan deliberately omitted, and her mind was full of the time she spent leaning against the bookshelf No. 5-53.
These people spoke with details, as if Anna-Gree had never appeared in the palace, but it seemed that Anna-Gree had never appeared in the palace.
But she remembered very clearly and definitely that she had seen Anna in the lady's manuscript!
The little newborn baby girl, who knew nothing, was taken away by her corrupt father to be a child.
Then she was found by her mother, who took good care of her from then until the end of the Golem curse...
Two completely contradictory statements.
Who is lying?
"When did Anna die?" Hitzfeld suddenly looked up.
"November 1959, 11." Xia Yibing answered reflexively.
The girl is now completely involved in the case and can no longer be considered an irrelevant person. She can make the decision on this kind of information which is not highly confidential.
"I heard from Madam that he died in an evil incident... What kind of incident was it?"
"It's related to the Eclipse Church." Xia Yibing's face darkened.
"The town of Yanmu is not named randomly because there is a strange forest in the southwest of here."
"forest?"
Hitzfeld frowned slightly.
At the same time, I felt a little surprised: November 11th... was the last day of Ramadan.
Surprisingly, it was the same day she was dug out.
"Yes... It's behind the White Mist River. According to records, that forest will devour any life that stays in it for a long time. In addition, the trees and vegetation in it are dark in color, so the early people who lived here called it the Black Wood Forest... and the Dead Woodland."
Xia Yibing spread her hands.
"Don't be surprised why a settlement can be built here, because we have investigated it for a long time and confirmed that although people disappear in it from time to time, in most cases, there is no risk in entering or passing through it."
"The agent who was in charge of Anna at the time was named Pete. Although many of his skills have deteriorated due to his age, he is experienced and is just the right person to help guide a newcomer like this."
"We won't assign too dangerous missions to such a group. It just so happens that the Blackwood Forest is right next to the city, not far from Anna's home, and there are reports of people going missing in it from time to time, so it's normal for them to receive a mission to survey the forest."
"and then?"
Hitzfeld stared at her.
“Then they disappeared.” The woman smiled bitterly. “They disappeared for a week. We couldn’t find them. There was no news. At the most, there were thousands of people entering the forest at the same time to look for them, but they only found Pete’s mummy.”
"Mummy?"
"Yes, a body that has been rotten and dried up and its original appearance is completely unrecognizable. This is very strange - because after identification, it was found that the body has been dead for at least forty years."
When saying this, Xia Yibing stared at the girl's single eye.
"It's as if," she said word by word, "it's as if there is a different dimension similar to the dream world there, and they accidentally entered it at some point in time, got trapped, and then after truly experiencing the scouring of time, their bodies were spit out again."
Xia Yibing still remembers the account of "Hitzfell Manor".
She wanted to test the girl and see how she would react to this description.
Hitzfeld was frozen.
His body shape and expression were frozen, and his mind was filled with images of himself living in Hitzfell Manor.
Kardashian mother-in-law.
Aunt Anila.
And her mother whom she had never met...
……
She recalled a lot.
From the tableau of life to the chapel in the backyard.
From the opening of the box to waking up in the Gleb family's house.
The humble rickshaw driver...
Bumpy mountain road...
A weedy hill...
The misty river...
The castle has become a ruin...
The forest of steles rises and falls...
The tombstone with my name engraved on it...
Wait a moment.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly thought of a very strange thing.
According to the lady, she went to the cemetery "as usual", and then heard the noise of herself struggling underground, so she found a shovel to dig up the soil and rescued her.
This shouldn't take long.
At least it was impossible that she rushed home from the cemetery to get the shovel, otherwise she would have suffocated to death by the time she got back.
That is to say, the lady brought a shovel from the beginning.
And she did go there “as usual”.
She remembered very clearly that the coachman Joseph asked the lady if she would "stop at the same place as last time", and the lady said "No, the last time before last".
It means she has been there many times.
Why did she go there?
Hitzfeld...this group that Madam calls the "cursed family", what is their relationship with Madam?
Even if it does, it seems that cleaning a cemetery does not require a shovel?
After careful consideration, she personally came to a preliminary conclusion: the lady might want to find Anna's body.
On November 1959, 11, Anna disappeared.
Pete's body was later found, but Anna's body has not been found to this day, and it is not even clear whether she is alive or dead.
Hitzfeld could imagine...the golem curse forty years ago must have dealt a heavy blow to the lady.
In this case - ignoring the question of where Anna was at the time - the days of living with her daughter must have been an important spiritual comfort.
She certainly couldn't accept Anna's death without a complete body. She kept carrying tools like a shovel, probably wanting to find her body by herself.
Then by chance, I dug myself out.
Which means Anna's body has not been found yet...
"..."
No sign.
Hitzfeld thought of the cellar in the yard.
Rancid...
corpse...
If I remember correctly, the body seemed to be smaller than an ordinary person.
Well, could it be that...
No.
She suddenly pinched her head hard.
No no no what am I thinking about?
I actually suspected that it was Anna... I also suspected that the lady had been lying all along, suspected that she had forged the fact that Anna was not there at the time, and suspected that she had lied to me all along.
Are you kidding? That's impossible no matter how you think about it.
It was obviously too big to fit on the three beds; it was so tall...there was no place for it to hide in the cellar or even in the entire house.
Well, the hiding place...
She paused again.
"Hitzfeld?"
Xia Yibing was frightened by her crazy look, so she came up to her, pinched her chin and slapped her face.
"Hey!"
"Hitzfeld?"
The girl stared with her empty eye, feeling nothing at all.
All she could think about now.
In her original bedroom.
That mechanical golem...
Chapter 49: Control of the Bureau
There is a saying in this world: Those who cannot do what is difficult will find it easy, while those who can do it will find it easy.
It also has another sentence structure: There are some things that you will feel clueless about when you don’t think of them, but after you figure them out, you will sigh that this is just how it is.
But Hitzfeld had a completely different feeling at this moment.
She remembered a story, a well-known story about a neighbor who stole an axe.
A man lost his axe and suspected that his neighbor had stolen it. He observed his neighbor carefully and the more he looked, the more he thought his neighbor looked like a thief.
Later, he found the axe in his own house, and when he went to see his neighbor again, he began to think that his neighbor was not a thief.
She is now at the stage where she sees others as thieves.
And this thief...is Mrs. Glee.
She doesn't want this.
I really don't want this to happen.
From childhood to adulthood, she has been labeled as "indifferent" and "cold-blooded", and has been rejected and misunderstood...
But she knows that she is also a person with feelings and who knows how to be grateful.
