In the dark prison, only a candle lamp on the table is emitting a faint light.

There was a creepy chill in the air, Shen Mu Qi looked at Qiao Lun who was on the opposite bed, and saw disdainful hatred in the eyes of the other party.

The stiff legs seemed to be filled with lead, unable to move.

and after?

Is your mother back?

Why did Sandra do this?

Why would she go to a place like the underground mall?

That kind of sanctimonious person, really... is it my mother?

None of these gods said anything.

Quiet as always, she stared at Qiao Lun indifferently.

"In the end, I was adopted by the Stringer family," Qiao Lun moved his lips, looking at Kamiki without fear, "I met Walpole for the first time when I was 13 years old. Ha, it's really ironic..."

The look in his eyes that almost abandoned himself, failing to hide the sarcasm in his eyes, seemed like an extreme self-comfort.

Kamiki's indifference made his tone harsh.

"Slaughter in the name of saving people, what does your mother—Sandora Kameech—take life as? Is it a pastime for her boring life?"

He asked in a questioning tone, but couldn't hear the meaning of trying to get an answer.

It's just a vent.

"What's the difference between that pretentious woman and the hypocritical peacemaker in the aristocratic circle?"

The sharp words pointed directly at her, as if forcing himself to face up to the whitewashed haze of this world.

Shen Muqi's silence made Qiao Lun start to speak harshly to Sandora like a needle, as if it was a curse that was like a comfort in despair.

"If deception has to be used, why is there no reason to do so?"

"It is clearly human beings who push human beings into a desperate situation! Why don't people repent of their own mistakes, but put all the blame on others?"

"...See, even the gods can't be indifferent, and now humans are forced to be imprisoned in the giant wall, this is the punishment of God..."

The air is palpably cold.

It seems that with one more sentence from him, he can smash the false surface and see the truest reality.

Kamikizaki did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

The playful look in his eyes became more and more intense, "What? You were too shocked to speak?"

The way of speaking is very similar to the proud gesture of the winner.But such sharp words did not even raise a speck of dust.

"No matter what you say, I won't refute it." Shen Mizaki's voice was so steady that it was almost ridiculous, but Qiao Lun was not aroused by this, because her next words were soft as if she was apologizing.

"...if that comforts you."

However, it didn't take long for the tranquility on Qiao Lun's face to be shattered.

"Some people can't be forgiven even if they pray every day and night." He said, his eyes were filled with poison, and his heart became cold with just one look. To be forgiven, even though she is now bending over me to ask me to forgive her sins..."

After thinking about it, Qiao Lun still denied his naive thoughts, "If an apology is useful..."

"sorry."

He raised his head in surprise, the room was so dark, but it couldn't melt away the bowed figure of Shen Muqi.

The girl's face was completely hidden by the hair on her forehead, and he couldn't see her expression clearly, but in her apology, he could hear unprecedented sincerity.

Shen Muqi maintained such an action, and never said a word.

Why should I apologize...

Obviously, he spoke so well that there was no room for change.

The prison door was closed, leaving Qiao Lun behind.

Walpole had already left at some point, and Kamiki saw Levi still standing outside the door waiting.

She yelled "Levi" for the first time, and she felt that something was wrong as soon as the words came out. In the end, she didn't deliberately correct anything, but she didn't have anything to say.

When Kamiki was going to go around him and walk towards the exit, Levi grabbed her arm, perhaps shocked by the other party's hypothermia, Levi frowned before speaking.

"What happened?" A voice came from behind.

Shen Muqi always turned his back to him, "Qiao Lun still has a lot of doubts, I can't ask anything, you tell the leader of this matter, let him investigate."

Keeping his voice as calm as possible, Levi still noticed the pretended calmness.

"What did Qiao Lun tell you?" The strength of his hands increased, regardless of whether it hurt the opponent.

As for Shenmizaki, it seems that he has completely lost his sense of pain, no matter how hard Levi tries, he refuses to speak.

Levi changes his tone, at least that way it won't sound so forceful.

"Sooner or later, there will be a day when you face the truth about some things." He said, "Did you say it yourself, or let Alvin find out the truth and force you to face the truth again?"

The ten fingers of the hand held by Kamiki curled up by Levi, the gradually whitening knuckles made Levi feel her trembling.

"Shen Muqi, you speak." An inexplicable anger burned in his chest, and Levi raised his voice without deliberately discerning the anxiety in the words.

But before he had time to ask why, Shen Muqi's next move made him forcefully suppress Wu Minghuo.

Kamiki plunged into Levi's arms, with his forehead resting on his shoulder, almost putting his weight on Levi's body.

No choked sobs, no hoarse questions.

Even when the girl leaned on Levi's shoulder, he couldn't find any trace of weakness and helplessness in Levi's eyes.

In addition to cloudless sadness.

There was silence in the corridor.

Without knowing it, Levi wrapped his hands around Shenmizaki's back, taking her into his arms as a matter of course.

###

Walpole did not go back to the estate first.The moment Shen Muqi walked out of the prison, he saw the Earl waiting at the door.

The appearance of the nobles and the soldiers of the Survey Corps together in a place like a prison seemed too eye-catching.Even if he is full of doubts, it is more appropriate to go back to the manor to say everything.

On this point, the three reached a very high consensus and remained silent all the way.

After a brief discussion that day, Levi sent someone to send a letter to Erwin, explaining in detail all the incidents in the Mainland.Before the head of the team arrives in the mainland, Shen Muqi will not be involved in the investigation for the time being.

She was injured, and with today's meeting with Qiao Lun, Shen Muqi went back to the room to rest after returning to the manor, and did not meet Levi again until dinner.

Alvin arrived at Walpole Manor early the next morning.There were only a handful of soldiers accompanying him, which showed that the head of the regiment was extremely careful when he came to the mainland this time.

The Earl entertained Alvin, and after learning about the general situation, Alvin followed the Earl to the prison where the Gendarmerie was stationed again. The reason was naturally that he wanted to interrogate Jorun himself.

Levi went with Erwin, but Shenmizaki was alone this time, mostly due to Erwin's consideration of her current physical condition.

The interrogation lasted about an hour.Since Qiao Lun only wanted to see Erwin, Levi who was traveling with him could only wait outside the door, just like the time he came with Shenmizaki yesterday.

He really couldn't stand the strange smell in the prison, so when Erwin opened the door after the interrogation, Levi asked straight to the point.

"How's it going?"

Erwin didn't have time to fade away the solemn expression on his face, noticed Levi's frown, and said as he walked, "Joren confessed everything, everything was done by him."

Whether it's Vera's death or Roger's assassination.

It was obviously difficult for Levi to accept this result, and Alvin continued, "I am also very confused, after all, there are too many doubts about the whole thing."

For example, why did Qiao Lun get the notes, why did he assassinate Roger, and what did Qiao Lun know about the basement of Shenmizaki's house.

However, none of these Alvins could find out why.

"Although Qiao Lun's words cannot be trusted, they are not worthless." Alvin stopped and looked at Levi beside him, "At that time we insisted that the murderer was a member of the Survey Corps, and this inference was not unreasonable , but it also lacks infallible considerations.”

Levi raised his eyebrows, "You really think Jorun did all of this?"

"No," Alvin quickly denied, "It's just that today's interrogation gave me a third guess."

Levi gave Alvin time to continue talking, and after sorting out his thoughts, Alvin made a bold guess, "There is more than one murderer. In other words, Qiao Lun is just an accomplice, and the real murderer has not yet surfaced."

The news about the pocket watch was only known to a few members of the investigation corps, but Qiao Lun took action under such a tightly sealed situation. Unless there was an internal response, Erwin couldn't think of other convincing explanations.

Qiao Lun is not the real murderer. The reason is very simple. Ever since Shenmuzaki first sneaked into the Corps and went out without permission, the Survey Corps has strictly checked the identities of the soldiers every time they go on an expedition, so there will never be any fish that slip through the net.

What's more, the murderer is an opponent that even Vera can't match, such skill is one of the few in the entire investigation corps.

Jorun was evasive on many key points, and it was even more impossible for Alvin to have complete trust in his confession.

"Will that guy be someone from within the Corps?" Levi raised his eyes, his tone more like a statement.

Alvin didn't overturn Levi's statement, "It's very likely."

The internal and external cooperation not only took advantage of the convenience of the Survey Corps as a source of first-hand information, but also relied on Qiao Lun's status as a nobleman to plan secretly in the interior. The enemy's approach is quite clever.

Relieved that Levi is about to reach the prison's exit, he asks instead, "What are you going to do next."

"It's very simple." Alvin twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously already having his own ideas.

"Lead the snake out of its hole."

###

As the carriage came to Walpole Manor, Alvin got off the car and was about to tell Shenmizaki about his next plan, when he was stopped by someone as soon as he entered the door.

"Shenmu?" Alvin was surprised by Shenmaki's sudden blocking action.

It's not just Alvin who has this idea, Levi is the same.

I saw Shen Muqi raised his head, his eyes were clear.

"let's talk."

Before the leader could speak, Levi raised his eyebrows, "Have you finally figured it out?"

The author has something to say: Yesterday the wifi in the dormitory was restricted, and I couldn't log in to JJ... I'm sorry for the late update, everyone...

There will be another update tomorrow, the time remains the same, at 19:30
