"Although everything now points to Jetrin's person, 、、、" Wilch didn't finish his sentence, he handed the picture to Adelaide, walked to the counter next to him, took an empty glass, and when he opened the cabinet door below, he found that there was no bottle of wine in it. Smacking his lips, he poured himself a glass of cold water and drank half of it in one gulp.

Adelaide looked at each photograph carefully, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How is the investigation going over there in Puno?" ”

"Foggy results. Wilch shook his head, his eyes wandering around the full bottle on the table, as if to find some remnants of wine, "We found the communication machine used by Miss Ovilla in that industrial city, and handed it over to a professional technician to parse and retrieve the few stored contents inside. Since Del Lin lost contact with her, that is, died, there has been no record of Puno's communications. ”

"The connection between the two of us was almost exclusively with Delrin, and the trust between us was not well established. Or from the beginning, Delrin's side just wanted to temporarily use our power to achieve the goal of cleaning up Ye Jielin. There's no way to investigate, and I don't know if Puno is alive now. But it should be dead, and according to the news from the Webley family's insiders, Puno did not return to the military school after the mission, nor did he return to the family. It's that Iyeta is still alive and well, and the strength between the two is equal, but because of family reasons, without other feelings, I still think Iyeta's strength is stronger. ”

"So、、、" Adelaide muttered, "that means we haven't made a deal with us?"

"Now I see, it is. It's just that according to intelligence, Iyeta was indeed seriously injured, and after returning to the military school, she underwent treatment and surgery, and it took more than a week to recover most of it. Whether it was caused by the horrific or not, we do not know now. ”

"How likely do you think there is a collaboration between Hack and Iyeta?" Adelaide then asked Wilch for his judgment.

Shaking his head, Wilch drank the rest of the cold water, and the crunch of the cup breaking the extremely brief silence between the two.

He looked Adelaide in the eye, trying to get some kind of information from it. Those eyes were so deep that they hid everything so that they didn't show a single light. Inside, Wilch saw only his own shadow.

"Whether or not he cooperates with Iyeta, he's not someone we should be in contact with too much. This is true now, and it will be the same in the future. The nature of the Hill family is a monster that I don't think either of us will have a crush on. ”

Waiting for Adelaide to nod, Wilch continued his words.

"But I didn't find any evidence of much involvement in this incident. His men had indeed been to the industrial city, but it had been three days since we had set out to search for information. Combined with the time when Iyeta returned to the military school, everything can coincide. And 、、、、," Wilch paused, thinking of other factors, "though there hasn't been a formal party yet, but Adelaide you know, Hack is Miss Auville's fiancé." The people of the two major families also attach more importance to this matter. As I understand it, Hack will be in a neutral position, and he won't do anything to Miss Ovilla, but he won't do everything in his power in the matter of Iyeta either. ”

"There are expressions on both sides. Adelaide concluded.

That's it, both sides say something. Wilch recounted, "But from now on, it is good news for us to put aside the relationship with Horror by the affairs of Miss Ovilla." Ye Jielin's side needs to deal with it with all her might, she is also a very talented person in the family, and after recent events, our side still falls behind. ”

With a sighing face, Wilch remembered what he had seen when he arrived at the armor body that night, and a suppressed aura escaped from his body.

"The things taken by the camera left in the Warframe Difference Machine's storage mechanism must have been extracted by the family's technicians, right?" Wilch asked at this moment, remembering something else.

"Extracted, Ye Jielin's side also suffered serious casualties, and the retreat was in a hurry. Perhaps it was because he thought that Ovilla would still be able to control the Warframe at that time, so he used his sniper rifle to make a final attack from a distance when he saw us rushing over. The differential machine is still well preserved, and the stored information has not been destroyed. Adelaide's words became a little depressed at this moment, "But there may be something else important in it, and the family hierarchy has completely blocked the extracted information." I also didn't have the qualifications to check it, and all the applications were denied. ”

"Something important?" Wilch couldn't think of what something important could be.

There was silence between the two of them again, as if they were both thinking about what the "important thing" would be. At the same time, the hall fell silent, and the sound of rain outside came in, and the faint sound of "rustling" was mixed with one or two insect chirpings from time to time.

Adelaide then looked at his mechanical watch, which pointed to half past eight in the evening. He looked up and said to Wilch, "Let's go, there's still some time." ”

Wilch stood up, took the umbrella by the door with Adelaide, and walked out of the hall into the illuminated night. It didn't rain much, but there was still a distinct dripping sound on the umbrella surface, enveloping them.

The two walked slowly inside the House of Astus, not enjoying the first rain of the summer. Under the mixed lighting, the entire Astus family headquarters revealed a lifeless atmosphere, and the building was silent under the gray rain curtain, and the whole thing was soaked in it, as if it was absorbing enough water.

It's just that when the rain stops, will Astus be able to break something out of it and rejuvenate it, or will it completely decay and become nutrients for other plants, just like those dead leaves buried under the ground. Everything is unknown, as the former king family of the empire, what Astus has experienced, as well as history, is indeed much more and longer than the other four forces.

"The same as a white corpse. Adelaide said suddenly.

The mood was depressed, probably influenced by the weather and Adelaide's words, Wilkie thought. He looked at Adelaide on the side, exhaled, sighed and asked, "Adelaide, what do you think Miss Ovilla 、、、、?"

Wilch seems to have a habit of not liking to finish his sentence.

"The result?" Adelaide picked up Wilch's words, "I don't know, it's all up to the family's top brass who are about to become tombstones." Perhaps the influence of the Knights of the Rose and Rose could help a little, but I don't know what will happen in the end. ”

"It's still up to Ovilla herself, with her character, I don't think she would be willing to soak in the nutrient solution forever and become the test subject of the group of scientific researchers in the family!" Adelaide's words were cold, "You haven't forgotten a few years ago, when we agreed with us, and when we decided where to go." ”

Wilch shook his head, then smiled, "Of course, it's only a few years. He said, "You and I will go to the periphery of the extreme area, increase our strength, and become something like a sword and a warhead in the future." Ovilla, on the other hand, remained in the empire and entered the seminary as a commander. ”

"It's only been a few years since I decided to do something, but I don't think it can be changed. ”

"It can't be changed. Wilch recounted, "Nurtured by the family, we decided a long time ago to devote our strength to this family. It is not only to restore the status and glory of the original empire, but also to give the title of the king's family all the meaning they deserve. Miss Ovilla should have been the princess of this empire, and she should be the queen of this empire in the future!"
