Cerf's reply, in which he regretted that he could not go home to spend the New Year with his family this year, but also wished him a smooth entry into the Central Gendarmerie next year.As long as you join the Central Gendarmerie, you will join the king's personal guard, and you will be able to get in touch with dignitaries more easily than ordinary soldiers.In this way, he may be able to help his brother through the difficult time at a critical time.

But what made Benson feel strange was that Joseph also mentioned in his letter that he had sent a few boxes of chocolates to Benson's contemporaries who joined the survey corps, and he also praised the girl with 'white hair' a few words, so that Benson could communicate with them more. She communicates.At first glance, it seems that an older brother took a fancy to a girl and wanted her to be his younger brother's girlfriend. In fact, Benson knew Joseph's personality and he would never interfere in his private life. The mention of Vanessa this time may have other meanings , he felt that it was necessary to find a time to ask Vanessa about it after the year.

In the Alford District Gendarmerie Branch, the remaining gendarmes slumped lazily on the chairs in the office. Looking at the time, they were going to patrol again, but it was so cold outside, it was more comfortable to nest in the warm office.So they decided who would go on patrol first by guessing fists. After a few rounds, Benson lost, so he had no choice but to sigh helplessly, put on his coat and go out.

It was still daytime, and the surrounding roofs were covered with a thin layer of frost, and the entire town was completely white as far as the eye could see.The ground was a little slippery due to the snowmelt, and the road was lined with snowdrifts that would not melt in the future, mixed with various dust particles and dirt.Benson glanced at the no longer pure white snow on the side of the road in disgust, rubbed his hands and continued walking cautiously.

Before he knew it, Benson arrived at the scene of the first homicide he took over. The windows of that simple three-story residential building were closed, and the glass reflected the sunlight. It was impossible to tell if there was anyone inside.His gaze settled on a window on the second floor, where the body was found.

Suddenly, Benson caught a glimpse of something unusual. There was a familiar radial crack on the wall next to the window, but it was sealed with cement.A flash of inspiration flashed, and Benson immediately ran to the bottom of the clock tower.The clock tower is another crime scene of the 'cigarette killer'. Benson raised his head, squinted his eyes to overcome the dazzling sunlight and walked around the clock tower. He suddenly found the same crack on the outer wall at the top of the clock tower, but the location of the crack may be It's too high, no one notices, and therefore no one fills it with stuff.

Benson is familiar with that kind of crack, it is the trace left by the claw hook of the three-dimensional mobile device when it clings to the object.Now he finally understands why Durand asked him not to share his findings. The murderer will use a three-dimensional mobile device, which means that he is likely to be someone from within the Corps, and if he fails, he will lose his life.That's why after listening to Benson's analysis, Durand glanced out of the window nervously and horrified. It was a subconscious reaction of fear of someone coming in through the window.

Benson forcibly suppressed the chill on his back. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He still had a lot to do, and he couldn't lose his life because of this kind of thing.Soon, Benson's breathing gradually became even, and he continued to walk forward along the patrol route without looking back.

On the first day of the holiday of the Survey Corps, many soldiers quickly packed up their things and prepared to go home.They all had happy smiles on their faces. They had stayed in Trost for nearly a year, and some soldiers from other places were particularly homesick.

Among the crowd leaving with luggage, four people were particularly conspicuous. They either had a bag on their shoulders, or they were empty-handed, because they were not going home, but were going out to buy things.When the other soldiers passed by the four of them, they would say, "Goodbye, Captain Levi."

Levi didn't want to be so troublesome to respond one by one, he just nodded slightly one by one as if he had heard it.

Watching the scene of other people saying goodbye to each other, Dai Er felt like returning to the time when she had just graduated from the training regiment.Time flies, and another year has passed.

"What a familiar scene, I thought I was back in the training regiment." Vanessa said.

"Do you feel the same way?" Fitch was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone had the same idea.

The four people who went shopping this time included Vanessa and Fitch, in addition to Levi and Dill.Levi wanted to buy more black tea and cleaning tools, because the store might not be open during the New Year's Eve, so after hearing from Daier that she was going out to buy things, I decided to drop by.As for Dale, Vanessa, and Fitch, it’s the first time for the three of them to spend the winter in the Survey Corps. Of course, they need to buy some things just in case, such as charcoal for heating, board games such as cards to pass the time, and New Year’s celebrations. snacks etc.

Del and Vanessa go first, Levi and Fitch follow.It was the first time he walked side by side with his idol in casual clothes on the street, Fitch was so nervous that he didn't dare to turn his head to look at Levi.

As they walked, they heard lively cheers coming from ahead.Dale and Vanessa immediately forgot to buy something, and walked over curiously to see what was going on.Levi and Fitch could only follow behind them to find out.

When I got closer, I found out that someone had a wedding in front of their house, and the children on the roof sprinkled flowers and ribbons down.Witnessed by the neighbors in the neighborhood, the groom in a white suit and the bride in a white wedding dress made vows to each other, exchanged rings, and then kissed each other. The two looked at each other affectionately and smiled happily from the bottom of their hearts. .

Vanessa looked at this romantic scene, her girlish heart overflowed, a thin blush appeared on her face, and she stood there motionless in a daze.

"It turns out that the wedding process is like this." Dai'er opened her eyes wide, put one hand on Levi's shoulder, stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck for a closer look, gaining insight.

"Let's talk." Fitch asked suspiciously, "Isn't it cold for the bride to wear so little?"

Winesa gave Fitch a white look, "You have ruined a good atmosphere. Of course it's cold for a bride to dress like this, but this is the most important thing in life. Even if it's cold, you have to grit your teeth and stick to it. Besides, you see, she looks like Does she look cold? She must be very hot now."

Levi's first reaction when he saw this wedding scene was, who will clean up the 'garbage' left on the floor?So he was actually staring at the petals and ribbons on the ground the whole time, and his nerves of cleanliness were always tense.

After watching the wedding, the four continued to walk on the street looking for things they needed to buy.Vanessa asked Del: "How did you feel about the wedding?"

"It's fine, but it's too cold." Dai'er rubbed her arms and said.

He does not mean that.Levi suddenly realized that Del was old enough to fall in love, so she became curious about the wedding process.But this made Levi a little bit difficult, he didn't have any experience in this area to give Dier a reference.Looking back, it seems that almost all men and women in the Survey Corps are bachelors, because most of them die young and never live long enough to marry.Even an uncle like Erwin stopped talking about marriage because he didn't know when he would die.So, what should she do if she meets a scumbag?But looking at Dai'er's naivety and not knowing what love is, Levi felt that he was probably being mediocre.

It took a lot of time to watch the wedding just now. When I came to the fountain square next to the commercial street, Vanessa turned to the other three people and said, "Why don't we do this? Let's split up here and buy what we need. It might be more efficient to come back and assemble in an hour later."

Everyone looked at each other and thought this proposal was good, so that they could finish shopping and go back quickly.But Levi said suddenly: "Vanessa, come with me, I need your help to move the cleaning tools later."

Vanessa didn't react for a while, shouldn't Daier be allowed to do this kind of thing?But she immediately remembered that one of the agreements with Erwin seemed to be to investigate the Corps to protect her safety.Levi's doing this is actually keeping her out of his sight, so that he can protect her and monitor her.

"Yes." Vanessa replied, and she deliberately gave a heart salute, making Del and Fitch subconsciously think that Levi asked her for help because she was his direct subordinate.

Two hours passed quickly, and it was Levi and Vanessa who came back the latest. The main reason was that Levi was picky about a broom, and what Vanessa wanted to buy was not clean at all. The tools couldn't match, so the two of them were much slower than Del and Fitch.

Dill and Fitch sat side by side on the bench next to the fountain and studied how to play the newly bought card game. Seeing Vanessa rolling her eyes behind Levi with a bunch of cleaning tools, Dill and Fitch rolled their eyes. He quickly packed up his things and stepped forward to help.

Back in the Survey Corps, Vanessa went to the mail room habitually to check, and sure enough there was her letter.She put the letter in her bosom, and joined the three people waiting outside as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the survey corps seemed a little deserted. The people who should leave were almost gone, and only some high-level officials headed by Erwin remained.The purpose of their stay is to have a meeting to study how to proceed with the next survey outside the wall, because when the winter is over and the ice and snow melt, the survey outside the wall will start again.

"Thank you for your hard work." Levi said to Del and the three of them.Several people helped him replace the old cleaning tools with new ones, and all of them were a little reddened by the heat.

"You're welcome, Captain Levi, it's my pleasure," Fitch said nervously.

Levi remembered that he had seen Fitch's information, and his home was in the Trost District, but his father
