, so their family's carriage generally does not appear directly near the survey corps, but this time is an exception.

The officers were taken to the capital for a meeting in the street yesterday, and the rest of the soldiers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they still stood in front of Creek very responsibly, not letting him in and out of the regiment at will just because he was a nobleman headquarters.

As a relatively senior veteran, Nanaba stepped forward to negotiate with Creek, "The regiment commander and the others haven't come back yet, please come back later."

Crick's attitude was not very tough, but instead he said sadly: "I don't intend to offend, I just want to get back a friend's...relic."

"The relic? Who is it?" Although they didn't name them, everyone already had the answer in their hearts.

Crick pursed his lips, and said a name with difficulty, "Vanessa..."

Petra pushed aside the people in front and hurried forward, "What happened to Vanessa? Wasn't she taken away by the military police yesterday afternoon? Why did she suddenly..."

Crick shook his head, not daring to look directly into Petra's eyes, "I'm sorry, I don't know, and we still need to wait for the findings of the Gendarmerie Corps to find out exactly what happened."

"How did this happen?" Petra covered her face with her hands and sobbed. Although she was angry at Vanessa's betrayal, she had already received the punishment she deserved. Even if she couldn't forgive her, she didn't want anything bad happened to her.The rest of Levi's class also stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder to express comfort, but they were also feeling uncomfortable.

"Excuse me, can you show me the way?" Crick's tone became a little more nasal, his eyes were moist and red.

Judging from Crick's performance, he is undoubtedly the 'ex-boyfriend' who sent flowers to Vanessa and later dumped her.It is estimated that the reason for their breakup was that Vanessa decided to stay in the Survey Corps, so when he so earnestly hoped to take away Vanessa's relics, everyone remained silent and did not stop him.

Death (2)

After listening to Petra's description, Erwin felt something was wrong, "What did he take?"

"He took everything from Vanessa."

"Is there anything special in it?"

Petra looked distressed, and she tried to recall the scene at that time, "In addition to clothes and some daily necessities, it seems that a large 'book' in her cabinet was also taken away."

Erwin was lost in thought. He was 100% sure that the 'book' was the item Crick was looking for, but what was it?Will it be bad for the Survey Corps?Why didn't Han Ji find it when he searched her cabinet?It seems that you have to find Vanessa to know the answer, provided that she is still alive.

"Erwin..." Hanji broke in suddenly, and stopped talking after seeing Petra.

Seeing this, Petra hurriedly left the office.

"Have you heard the news?"

Han Ji said dejectedly: "The military police branch said that they did receive a notice to hand over Vanessa, but the military police who went to pick them up were not theirs, so they didn't know where Vanessa was taken. gone."

On the other side, with the assistance of Durand, Mikay and Levi found some fragmentary information, in general, there are only three pieces: Icarus is suspected of running away from home, and the servants are looking for people everywhere; 'cigarette killer' The dossier was transferred by the Central Gendarmerie. It is estimated that the political enemies of the Stirling family wanted to attack it; the forest holiday villa of the Stirling family caught fire and became a ruin, but the casualties are uncertain.

Levi wanted to confirm whether Vanessa was involved in the fire, but he had no right to intervene in noble-related cases, so he could only go back and report to Erwin first.

At the same time, Niobe returned home under the surveillance of the gendarmes after the interrogation, and issued a "foot restraint order" to her, and she was not allowed to go out until the investigation of the case was clear.From the interrogation just now, she guessed that the gendarmerie has not grasped its core criminal evidence, so as long as she destroys other relevant documents at home in time and finds the ledger stolen by Daier, she still has a chance to stand up.

The curtains were drawn, only the fire in the metal basin was shaking, and the ashes of paper were tumbling up and down.As Niobe tossed the family's income and expenditure documents into the brazier, she wondered how to find Dill.The ledger was either in her possession or hidden in Scout Corps headquarters.But the Survey Corps was back, and no one she could command could slip in except the Cigarette Killer.But now she and the servants are being watched by the Gendarmerie, unable to contact that guy.And she didn't dare to act rashly, any unnecessary actions might prove her crime.

Someone knocked on the door of the room, and Niobe raised his head and asked loudly through the door, "What's the matter?"

"Madam, the Central Gendarmerie has sent someone to invite you out." The servant outside also replied through the door.

Niobe stopped burning, knowing that she was about to face the biggest problem of her life.

Two days later, Erwin summoned all the senior officers of the corps who knew Vanessa's identity and took out a letter, "This is the news Durand heard, although the authenticity needs to be investigated."

"According to the Central Gendarmerie, Icarus Sterling did not run away from home, but went to the villa in the forest for vacation, accompanied by Daier and his sister Dolores. But the day we returned from the investigation outside the wall At night, the villa caught fire, Icarus and Dolores died due to excessive smoke inhalation, Del..." Elvin paused, looking at Levi.

"What's wrong with Del?" Levi frowned anxiously.

"There are no detailed records of Dill, only that she is alive."

"How much of this information do you think is true?" Mikay asked.

Erwin's eyebrows trembled, "The vacation should be fake. It may be that Vanessa was taken away after discovering that she had done something that was not good for them. But the final result should not be fake."

Levi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Del was still alive, but something happened to Vanessa, I don't know if Del will blame herself again.He could already imagine Dai'er curled up in the corner crying sadly, and she must be in great need of comfort at this moment.However, Niobe Sterling was still alive and in charge, and it was still difficult for him and Del to see each other.

Time flies, the winter of 849 is coming, Levi leans against the window, takes a sip of black tea, enjoying a moment of tranquility.The yellowing leaves outside the window were blown off by the gust of wind, and it rained heavily on the soldiers passing under the tree.At first glance, the scenery is beautiful, but the urge to clean up fallen leaves has been entrenched in Levi's mind.

Many things have happened this year. In the month or so after they learned of Vanessa's death, news about Dai'er came one after another.

For example, the Sterling family held a grand funeral for Icarus. Since then, Dill has been shown in a black skirt, black hat and veil, which is the standard dress of a lady who has lost her husband; Died of a heartbroken illness. Since Dale and Icarus were husband and wife, she obtained the inheritance right of the Sterling family property and became the only countess within the wall who owned the property and status of two families; due to the huge amount of inheritance Due to taxes, Dai can only move back to the unrenovated house of the Morrison family and live alone away from the power struggle...

And not long ago, several mysterious letters were sent to the mail room of the Survey Corps silently.The letter writers were very cautious, and it took several rounds to send the letter to them. There was no letter writer, no addressee, and no date. Paper and envelopes were the most common types around Trout.

Each envelope contained only a piece of paper with an unknown pattern drawn on it. After Han Ji studied all night, she found that putting together the paper in each letter formed a rough map with several points marked on it.

Erwin asked Levi and Hanji to secretly go to the places marked on the map to check, but those places were so remote that they almost got lost in the woods on the way.But when they arrived at their destination, the sight in front of them couldn't help but make their eyes shine.

"This is..." Han Ji excitedly opened his arms and rushed over, "What a cute secret base!"

Levi glanced at the house, but it was just an ordinary safe house, and there was nothing cute about it.However, there are watchtowers around the house, which is quite thoughtful.

Entering the house, the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, attic, warehouse, and basement are all available, which is a good place to hide.More importantly, it seems that this place has not been built for a long time, and it has been carefully cleaned, and there is almost no dust in the house.Levi compliments that.

Han Ji opened the envelope on the table in the dining room, and inside were multiple checks of various denominations, the total value of which could almost support the Survey Corps to take a stroll outside the wall.

"The check was divided into so many parts on purpose, probably out of fear that one denomination would be too large and cause suspicion." Han Ji nodded approvingly, counting the money nimbly with his fingers.

"Who do you think is helping us?" Although happy to receive such a big gift, Levi remained vigilant.

Han Ji didn't even think about it, "Who else would do this except Dai'er?" Curiously looking around, afraid that there was something left behind, Han Ji sighed: "After so many things, She also seems to have grown a lot."

"I hope so."

After finding out the safe houses distributed in Rose's Wall one by one, Levi and Hanji returned to the headquarters to tell Erwin the good news.Inversely proportional to the rich harvest of the two of them, Mikay and Nanaba traveled all over several towns in the southeast, northwest and north in order to trace the source of the letter, but only got a vague answer.

"It seems to be a letter from a dark-haired man," replied a postman.besides,
