"So, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"No, that's enough. I'll come back if I find anything."
"Please."
Ani gave him a deep look, turned and left the room.
Elliot also burned the note to ashes and said to the butler, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going out immediately."
After coming out of the gate of the villa, Ani was about to leave when he saw a familiar figure leaning against a big tree not far across from him.The sunlight through the shade of the trees fell on him, adding a bit of laziness.
He was leaning against the tree trunk at the moment, clasping his hands in front of his chest, as if closing his eyes and resting.Ani turned around and wanted to leave quietly, but was stopped as soon as he turned around.
"Hey, Ani. Do you feel embarrassed about taking time off to go on a date...?"
Chapter 061: The Struggle of Bees
Ani's footsteps stopped, and after a few seconds, she turned back reluctantly.
Li Lin, who had closed his eyes and rested on the tree trunk, had come over. Unlike her, he was not wearing a uniform.Instead, he was wearing a simple gray uniform, which he bought newly.
After all, he only had three sets of clothes in total, a formal suit bought when he saw the king, a set of original linen clothes, and a uniform.So now I also bought a set of ordinary everyday clothes that are not too conspicuous.
"Just asking for a leave." Li Lin was approaching at this moment, "I won't deny it. Is it necessary to do a troublesome errand for this?"
"..."
Ani was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Yes, I just don't want to tell you personally because I'm shy."
Li Lin looked at the indifferent face, and thought that even if she didn't blush when she said something like this, at least her eyes should be dodged a little bit, right?Is such indifference really credible?
"That's it, it's good." Li Lin asked: "Then can I ask who the target is? It should be the same student in our 104th period, right? I haven't seen any boy you are very close to in those three years."
"No," said Ani.
"Ok."
Li Lin was not annoyed and changed the subject: "Then, Elliot should tell you, I have already asked me to investigate the matter of his daughter's disappearance."
"kindness."
"I got all the information you got at the banquet last night. You can go back and I'll investigate it myself."
"No." Ani said, "I promised Hickey."
"If that's the case, then let's go, I already have some clues." Li Lin walked forward, and Ani followed, and asked, "What clues?"
"Carly Strassman, Elliott's baby girl, but she loves to hang out," he said. "If you go out too much, it's bound to cause something to happen. I checked it out in the police records. Her arrest record for a drunken disorder was at a pub - PitLidors."
Ani frowned and thought for a while: "That pub on the slums?"
Because most of the military police's usual work is patrolling the area, the recruits have also familiarized most of the Stobes area this month.
"Well, what, is it weird?"
"..."
"Why do you think a rich girl would go to that kind of place? It's actually quite normal. Rich girls like poor boys. Isn't it a classic art scene? Art comes from reality."
"yes."
"Yeah, but it's not classic enough, and the contrast is not high enough. If Carly Strassman is not just a rich girl, but a noble lady, it will be more interesting - the plot can also be extended to: noble Girls and commoner boys break out of traditional constraints and run away bravely or something."
"……It's useless."
"kindness?"
"It's useless." Ani said, "A lot of things are predestined."
Li Lin glanced back at her, the latter's eyes lowered, although he was answering him, this sentence was more like what she said to herself.
"Fate? It's just that I feel that accepting a fact silently is often more painful than struggling to resist."
This sentence seems to have touched Ani's emotions. She took a step and clenched her palms unconsciously: "Resistance will only bring more pain! It can't change the result! What's the point?!"
Her sudden outburst startled herself, and she fell silent the next second.
It was the first time Li Lin saw her so angry, so he stopped and thought about it: "You are right, pain itself is meaningless, but thinking about pain is meaningful, so is resistance. in this way."
Ani seemed to see his own reflection in Li Lin's pupils, and he heard his calm voice.
"Like a bee, a bee can only sting a person once, it has only one needle, and the needle is connected to its internal organs. Sting a person, lose the internal organs, the bee will soon die But for humans, being stung in most cases will not die, but can we say that the behavior of bees is meaningless?"
"..."
"With the lesson of pain this time, the next time the stung person wants to provoke a bee, he will have concerns in his heart. This is the meaning of the bee's life and struggle. Even if the body is shattered, at least the enemy must feel the 'pain'. , so that their own kind can have more safety.”
Li Lin looked at Ani deeply, and suddenly laughed again: "Really, what are you talking about bees? Let's go, find that playful rich girl first, finish work early and eat early."
Ani looked at Li Lin who was walking forward, he didn't know what to say for a while, and his mood was very complicated.
"The struggle of bees..."
"Hey, hurry up and follow."
