Because the new review mechanism is estimated to be delayed for a few hours before it can be seen, there is no way around it. During this special period, it is very hard to review during the holidays. I hope everyone understands~

Chapter 40 Tracing the Past 1
Ten minutes later, Hitzfeld and others returned to the temporary camp together.
It was impossible to stay in the cave to question Dai Lin. It was damp and cold in there. As Bill complained, staying in there for a long time would cause arthritis.
This so-called temporary camp was actually a simple residence formed by the fleet dragging most of the ships onto the beach and piling up stones to block the rising tide... and taking out tents and lights from the cabins.
It was now completely dark. When they came back, some corpse lifters were already making a fire and cooking. Bill's young assistant just came out of the cabin to stretch his body. When he saw these people - especially Hitzfeld at the head of the line, he was stunned and quickly went back again.
So they naturally didn't bother to cook for themselves. Andy Boom was very considerate and brought it to them.
"It's delicious." Hitzfeld was still recovering, so she ate a lot. Halfway through, she suddenly had an idea and asked the young man who brought the food, "What did you put in it to get rid of the fishy smell?"
Freshwater and seafood are both delicious. They are fresh and delicious even without cooking, but they will taste fishy if not handled properly. However, because of her keen senses, she rarely eats this kind of food.
If you can really learn the tricks to deal with it, you can go back and try it yourself.
She glanced at the woman with a ponytail who was eating with her head down.
It’s her own fault if she doesn’t like eating fish, but she can’t just not cook it because someone in her family likes to eat it.
"Uh... I added a kind of cooking oil extracted from soybeans." The young man stuttered when communicating with her, and soon he got the kitchen secrets out of her.
Bill and Sixus looked at each other and shook their heads at this scene.
We are all old guys, who can't see what Andy Boom is thinking? And it's not a shameful thing, everyone has the right to express themselves.
But his performance was so bad, so bad that no one else could bear to watch it... Not to mention that Sixus knew the relationship between Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing, even people who didn't know didn't think he had a chance.
When they were almost done eating, Bill and Andy were collecting the dishes and Dai Lin happened to come by at that time.
"I can smell the fragrance from far away!"
Before she came in, Hitzfeld heard a lot of shouting.
"Eh! But weren't you with them?" Lu Xier helped her get her coat at the door and teased her, "They're all fish feasts, so what's the difference in how they're prepared?"
"Andy's cooking is different." The female knight stepped in by holding onto the door frame and sniffed, "What a shame... I've already eaten it over there!"
She had originally planned to take a boat back to town tonight to continue helping Bill and the others search for suspects. If Hitzfeld hadn't made up his mind quickly, the boat would have already left, and they would not meet again until at least three days later.
"Dai Lin." Xia Yibing stared at her and patted the table in front of her: "Come here, come and sit here."
"Hitzfeld, does he want to talk to me about something?" Seeing her, Hitzfeld, Ms. Feti, Sixus, Mr. Hughley... a large group of people sitting upright, the female knight touched the freckles on her face, put on a sullen expression and sat there.
"It shouldn't be a big deal..." Sixus said dryly, "Just tell us what you know..."
"No, this is actually a big deal." Hitzfeld interrupted her, stroking the big white dog on his lap while glancing at the faces of the people present. "It's directly related to whether she is a suspect or not."
"Huh?" Sixus was secretly surprised.
She really didn't expect that Hitzfeld called Daelin back to discuss such an important matter.
Because she thought that Xia Yibing had helped to describe all of Hitzfeld's discoveries on the seabed.
Even if Director Imaer's ability to collect clues is not as good as hers, at least they encountered and saw the same things... From the information revealed by Xia Yibing, Xixus could not see any connection with Dai Lin.
And doesn’t she think that if it is to interrogate a suspect, and a Flint Knight of the Gold Rank... does the lineup present here seem too shabby?
If Dai Lin really wanted to attack and hurt someone, to be frank, no one present would be able to stop him.
Aisuen must have heard or seen something hidden in time.
Others were puzzled, but Xia Yibing knew what the girl meant.
The time travel opened by the divine eye... This kind of experience, she had the honor to go through with the other party once in Dragon Country. So she could imagine why the two people's information was not equal, and at the same time she had doubts in her heart... The girl finally ignored her inquiries and just climbed up. Was it the influence of that time?
Nodding, You Qi gave Xia a comforting look. Hitzfeld slowed down his tone: "Because when I was crawling in the tunnel cave, I found a suicide note... The content accused a person of suspected murder."
"In that kind of place?" A sudden exclamation came from behind.
It was Bill, who came back with the dishes. He had been leaning back and listening, but now he couldn't help but express his opinion.
"I don't understand, Hitzfeld..." he said, "You guys kept saying that no one had ever been there?"
"If no one had been there, how could there be such a wonder? And how could there be a tombstone in each cavity?" Sixus mocked him, "Do you really think those eggs were generated naturally? Is your brain rigid?"
"We can't just solve the case based on logic... that's just theoretical reasoning. You said someone had been there, but the problem is that the search at the time didn't find any traces of human life - except for those two!"
"It's possible that they were covered by seaweed," Hitzfeld said. "Just like the inscriptions I found, they were embedded in the center of the tunnel, blocked by thick seaweed."
Bill stopped talking.
Seaweed is indeed a big problem. According to the girl, if the area had not been damaged by repeated friction, she might not have found anything even if she climbed back and forth ten times.
"What exactly does the will say?" Xia Yibing asked.
"Who wrote it? Did he leave his name?"
"And the name of the person suspected of murder, did he engrave it?"
Those were all crucial questions... Hitzfeld glanced at her, and she immediately puffed out her chest as if to take credit.
Look at Dai Lin again... this "Paladin" who is very popular in the town, she was a little restless, rubbing her butt on the chair.
"A man called Bricher accused another called Descartes of robbing him of his supplies, which caused him to lack the strength to go up there."
She stared into Daelin's blue eyes and whispered, "So this is why I called you here... Knight Blue."
"...?"
The others stared in amazement for a moment, then Bill jumped up.
"Descartes? Do you mean Descartes-Lavos?"
"Oh my God...you are doubting——"
When he finished speaking, he covered his mouth, his voice suddenly became inaudible, and only his two eyes, wide open with fear, darted back and forth across everyone's faces.
I looked as if you should be shocked along with me.
But his reaction was not exaggerated, because Desca Lavos was indeed extremely famous. Even if one were to make a comprehensive ranking of the influence and reputation of the Golden Order in the Wayne Diocese, this person would be ranked in the top five in recent decades.
Most people can only specialize in one thing, such as detectives investigating cases and doctors saving lives... But Descartes-Lavos was not only a golden knight, but also the most famous biologist of that era. He wrote many books, including "The Truth about Evolution" and "Life: Noble or Bone".
This is amazing. According to what Hitzfeld learned, many people working in the fields of medicine and biology, including Lu Hill, admire this person very much.
She also knew about this guy from this channel...
The book that Lu Xier placed on the bedside...
She had seen it occasionally when she went there...
"Are you sure that the engraving you touched and saw pointed to this name and was not a mistake?"
In the silence, the red-haired female knight spoke hoarsely.
She looked relatively calm, but Xia Yibing was sitting a little off to the side, and without the obstruction of the table corner, one could see that she was twisting her hands vigorously on her legs.
"I am sure."
Hitzfeld spoke these words almost in pauses.
"I don't want to...if possible, of course no one would suspect the Golden Rank...or suspect two people at once."
"But I have to get this straight - did your teacher come here when he was young? Did he do something here, or leave something behind?"
"I..." Dai Lin opened his mouth to speak.
"And yourself—"
Hitzfeld continued to oppress her and put pressure on her.
"Tell me about Daelin."
"Did you really insist on going back to the beach?"
Chapter 41: Tracing the Past Part 2
Perhaps it was because she put too much pressure on him, Dai Lin stood there in a daze, looking confused and not knowing how to respond.
Hitzfeld thought uncomfortably that if the townspeople saw him questioning her, her image would probably change from "the famous young detective" to "the royal running dog", "specially sent here to oppress them".
"Maybe I can answer this question." A hoarse female voice came from the side.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Ms. Feti leaning on the table, pushing up her glasses, squinting her eyes as if she was recalling something.
"Ms. Hitzfeld must have always been curious about why I teach at Muguo Public School." Seeing everyone's gaze, she first met the girl's gaze and smiled at her with pursed lips.
"Although you didn't say it, I can see it... Don't be surprised. I'm certainly not a detective, but with a certain age and experience, some things are easy to understand."
Hitzfeld nodded, his face calm. There was really nothing to be embarrassed about.
If nothing unexpected happens, what Ms. Feti is going to say next is related to her origins.
"I can barely be considered Mr. Lavos' student." But Feti's next words surprised everyone, and they looked back and forth between her and Dai Lin.
"It shouldn't be that kind of formal relationship, right?" Sixus asked further.
She noticed that Feti referred to him as "Mr. Lavos" rather than "Sir Lavos" or "Knight Descartes".
There are some rules here. Generally speaking, those who call Descartes "Knight" are those who have learned about his life story from the "Paladin", including his colleagues in the parish and most of the Shadow Lion agents.
Most of those who call him "Mr. Laworth" are politicians, his formal students, and those in the academic world who have to deal with his academic status.
If Feiti is not right on both counts, then this student's statement is probably false.
"Mr. Lavos gave public lectures at the Challen Hall in the early years." Fetti nodded, "Anyone - as long as they are registered with the Scholars Association, can attend for free. I attended the lectures for a period of time, and I can say that I was deeply influenced by Mr. Lavos's ideas."
At this point, she looked at Hitzfeld again: "What is Mr. Lavos' most famous philosophy? Do you all know it?"
"'Equality theory'." Hitzfeld frowned slightly and uttered a term that was not usually used.
She had not just "seen" Lu Xi'er's book but had "read" it, and she was still impressed by some of the ideas put forward in it.
Simply put, Descartes-Ravos believed that judging the world from a biological perspective, no life should be superior to another.
At first glance, his philosophy seems to advocate the protection of nature and the conservation of species ecology - of course there are similar demands in it, but the real core of the concept is not here, but - it advocates that every member of human society should enjoy equal status.
I don't even think that humans are biologically superior to birds or dogs, so for the same reason, I think there should be more equality within the human community. Isn't that natural?
That's pretty much the demand.
Of course, this is different from the argument that Hitzfeld is familiar with. The theory of equality is more subtle and more rigid. On the basis of proposing biological equality and ethnic equality, it further proposes that "treatment and status in society are not the same."
Before Descartes, few people really studied these things. Such boring things... In the eyes of most people, treatment and status are equal, and the two can be completely interchangeable.
Descartes's discussion distinguished them for the first time. He believed that "treatment is the equivalent reward a person receives in society for creating value" and "status is the right that nature gives to a life to be respected in the community."
It's a bit confusing, and an ordinary person who has no idea about sociology would probably not understand it.
But Hitzfeld saw it immediately - this Descartes-Ravos probably wanted to improve the current social situation, but due to his difficulties, he did not dare to make more radical remarks. He could only say half and half, using this distinction to cover it up.
With this cover-up, the concepts of treatment and value creation are brought up, and those prominent people will not criticize him harshly, and both sides will have a way out.
Although it is valuable and of great significance, it will not have any effect on this world and this society for the time being.
This was the evaluation Hitzfeld gave after reading the book.
Different eras have different backgrounds. From the perspective of the examinees, this is the inevitable trend of historical development. Just like if you promote a new law in ancient times, it is called going against the trend, and it is impossible to succeed from the beginning.
After going through all this, Hitzfeld looked at Ms. Feti again and could almost guess what she was going to say next.
"It's the theory of equality." Feiti nodded.
"I come from a good family... I believe you can see that, but I am influenced by the theory of equality and I am not like my family who look down on the common people. At the very least, I believe that as long as you are a human being, you are entitled to education."
Closing his eyes, Feiti thought back to that time when he was a student and had conflicts with his family.
Her family thought that Descartes's statement was nonsense. In order to dissuade her from doing so, they even prepared a car on the spot and took her to the aristocratic restricted area - the slums, so that she could witness with her own eyes the dark laws that were always being played out there.
She was indeed frightened.
By those means, those tragic scenes, those vicious, beastly faces that burst out from the primitive nature.
But this did not discourage her, but made her more determined, because she realized that the reason why these people became so terrible was not because they were born lowly, but because they did not have the opportunity to receive education.
"…Is this why you went to Muguo Public School?"
