Mudun brings benefits to the United Kingdom and the United States

Fujiya told Steve her guess.

"Maybe it's just pure intimacy?" Steve has a different opinion from Fujiya on this point. He hesitates to speak, and he doesn't know whether to say something.

——Esther only showed such a clear dislike to Fujiya, and he behaved cutely and cutely in front of him and Bucky.It's unlikely that Esther will target Bucky.

But... the exposure of the three of them to Este does sound like they all have some heavy pasts that can be unearthed and turned into pain points.For example, the death of Fujiya's "good friend", Steve's infirmity when he was a child, and Bucky's serious illness lying in bed for many years... It all depends on what Esther plans to do.

So the two of them didn't bother Bucky, and planned to let nature take its course.

In reality, Tony can help them take care of the big black cat Yata, and Fujiya and Steve stay in this small world, planning not to go back anytime soon, until the task is completed.On the second day, Esther, whose fever subsided, could only go to school obediently, and Fujiya didn't mention taking her for a medical examination anymore, just let her think that this matter was muddled over.

Unexpectedly, before school was over that day, Steve received a call from the school teacher, and Esther's terrified cry in the background of the phone: "...Dad!"

"What's the matter? Okay...I'll be there right away." Steve's heart sank after hearing this, he hung up the phone, and looked at Fujiya who was counting the seeds in the living room and was practicing her ability, "One of the students in Este's school Something happened to the girl."

"You mean—" Teng Ya suddenly raised her face, ignoring the seeds in her palm slipping to the ground, she thought of the information Jarvis found, the places where Esther had been, There's always something going on out of nowhere.

"The girl fell down the stairs at the school and hit her head and is still under observation in the hospital. No one saw what happened, only the girl insisted that Esther pushed it, but Esther said it was a frame-up. Steve briefly recounted the situation, put on his leather jacket, and was about to get the motorcycle keys, "The teacher asked me to go."

"I'll go with you." Fujiya said quickly.

She didn't expect that before the fishing plan went ahead, something happened to Este's school.

"Although there is no evidence...but I think it is very likely that she did it." Fujiya sat on the back seat of the motorcycle entangled and said with her arms around Steve's waist.According to what happened in the past two days and the information I saw, Este's character is obviously very good at making troubles.Is this another time she can't restrain the desire to hurt people?

"..." Steve didn't speak, he was thinking about something while driving the car, and he didn't say a word the whole time.

Sure enough, the incident of going to the school to coordinate this time did not get any results. Since the testimonies of the two children were different, and it was confirmed that they had no conflicts before, they could only end it hastily.This is also thanks to the image of a smart, precocious and obedient girl in the eyes of the teacher during the period when Esther transferred to another school.

But after going home.

Unbearable, Steve sat in the living room with his arms around his shoulders. After a long silence, he said to Esther who was looking at him anxiously: "...Do you know how some serial murderers become such criminals?"

Fujiya was startled, and subconsciously glanced at Bucky, whose expression became surprised. Today, Bucky went to a small town to replace a painter who was injured and asked for leave, so he just came back not long ago, and he still doesn't know what happened yesterday. .

"Because they didn't get sanctioned in time when they committed crimes, they thought that such behaviors were allowed, so they became more and more courageous and acted recklessly." Steve's voice was unprecedentedly deep, He thought of the little girl in Sherlock Holmes' world.

Sometimes, the 'evil' of children is even more shocking.

Compared with adult criminals, who can be knocked down and sent to prison directly, Steve doesn't know how to deal with underage children.Even if Esther is only short of decisive criminal evidence - because of her age, even if she is arrested, she will only be sent to a special school for re-education.Given the way she's doing things now, Steve wouldn't be optimistic that in a few years she'll really be able to make amends.

As her temporary guardian in this world, Steve thought he needed to come up with a better solution.

Steve was still narrating in a low voice: "Turn back the time, maybe at the age when they were still ignorant when they were young, they did wrong things but were not found out, and they were not told by adults what they should never do. Slowly blurred the bottom line, from wrong to evil, and finally didn't even think there was anything wrong with 'hurting others', as long as no evidence was found, as long as you like it, that's enough. Is it Esther?"

"Dad...?" Standing in the middle of the living room, Esther's expression was a little stiff. It was a confused expression mixed with innocence and bewilderment.

She bit her lower lip aggrieved, and wanted to explain: "Dad, don't you believe me? I really didn't do it..." Esther has a sweet appearance and sincere emotions. When she said this angrily and aggrieved, who Don't think she's lying.But Steve's momentum at this moment was too condensed.

From the gentle blue eyes of the blond man in the past, from the movement of his arms folded tightly to his chest, there seemed to be some deadly danger in the silent atmosphere, which made Esther speak unknowingly. Gradually low, even the defense is not so emboldened.

"I think we got one thing wrong." Steve got up from the posture of leaning on the back of the sofa, walked towards Fujiya, asked her to take out her mobile phone and put it on the coffee table, and clicked on the information.He continued calmly, "Sometimes, you don't necessarily need to wait for solid evidence. Because there is more than one way to correct it, we can still leave here."

After hearing this sentence, Fujiya finally understood, she moved aside without a trace, blocking the direction of the door.

Bucky picked up the phone in confusion, and looked at it with Esther who was close, and then both of them were shocked.

"Do you have any explanation for this, Esther?" Bucky turned around in shock, and asked the little girl with complicated emotions.

"..." Esther didn't speak.

The little girl who was still wearing the princess dress lowered her head slightly, and her beautiful slightly curly hair hung down from her cheeks, covering her expression.Her hand was vaguely grabbing the corner of the skirt, which proved that she was very tangled and struggling.

Esther was also shocked. She didn't expect the host family to investigate so quickly and carefully this time, which caught her off guard, but fortunately, she hasn't discovered her biggest secret yet.The question is, after all this has been said, is she going to show her cards now... It seems impossible not to admit it. The doubts aroused by these clues in people's hearts cannot be dissipated.Unless she does nothing but set fire to the family again.But she hasn't been around enough, Steve and Bucky are so good...

It should be said that the only one that can really prove that the fire related to her is the last one, and the others can't even prove that she has actually been there. She can deny it as speculation.The rest are conflicts with the children, at most she has a tendency to hurt others.In addition, listening to what Steve meant, it seemed that he was planning to cover her up, after all, she was just a little girl who made mistakes...

Esther had some calculations in her mind, she broke down and cried, and admitted: "I have always been different, I can't play with everyone, and I came from an orphanage... Every time I transfer schools, the school My children will bully me, I just quietly retaliated back... I'm sorry Dad! I lied."

"The last time I stayed with a host family was because that auntie coldly raped me... We live in a very remote place, and I couldn't help but want to go back for revenge." Esther sobbed intermittently, patching up his behavior, " But the fire grew bigger and bigger, and finally I couldn't control it... I was the only one in the family of four who escaped. I know that I told a lot of lies before, so you won't believe me, but I really didn't mean it..."

Bucky's expression was very complicated, and he was speechless for a while.

He looked at Esther with new eyes, and didn't know if he should be shocked by the evil things this little girl did through ignorance, or whether he should wonder if she lied again before and after.To put it simply in one sentence, his three views have been refreshed.

"So I see my mother always... I already know I'm wrong!" Esther cried sincerely, she trotted over, and pulled Steve's sleeve in fear, "Don't hand me over to the police..."

Fujiya stroked her chin and used it as a background board beside her, pondering what Este said thoughtfully.

Didn't say 'I won't do it again', how could a child as smart as Esther leave it out?Did she forget, do it on purpose, or did she feel that no one would believe her even if she made a promise now?

"Daddy won't hand you over to the police." Steve replied in a calm tone, as if he wanted to cover up the little girl in a gentle tone, but the information he said was so informative that people couldn't help being shocked, " Because we're going somewhere else, and that's a place that can help you atone and make amends."

He is waiting for the nuns to find out Esther's origin, and when this last thing is over, they will take Esther and leave this world first-Steve wants to ask the powerful Natasha for help, the magician The academies related to the Shield Bureau also have many experienced teachers who specialize in dealing with such high-IQ teenagers.Then talk about redemption.

Because Esther is too precocious, at least don't let her become the kind of adult who went to an ordinary juvenile detention center for a few years and turned into a distorted adult, and one day she will evolve into a killer with a high IQ.

"Elsewhere?" Esther smelled danger from the vague words.What else is that kind of place where people can atone for their sins and make corrections?Her heart became cold, and she quickly took a step back, turned her head and looked at Bucky for help: "Uncle Bucky... I don't want to leave you!"

"I agree with Steve's decision." Bucky said with a complicated mood.Although he didn't know what Steve was going to do, he unconditionally supported his brother's idea.

"Mom..." Esther looked at Fujiya pleadingly.

"It seems that you still don't have the idea of ​​repentance, Esther." Fujiya pointed out sharply, "Even if you are still a child, you should make atonement for what you did."

"Okay... I see." The little girl lowered her eyelashes in frustration, and seemed to agree to the ending helplessly.

"Why are you forcing me?" She said softly, and suddenly Youyou's tone became as cold as snowflakes.The familiar hand//gun on// sounded the breech, and Esther took out a gun that was a few sizes larger than her hand from her backpack at some point.

"Thank you, Mr. Principal, for your contribution." Esther's tone didn't fluctuate.Originally, she was the closest to Fujiya, and she pointed the gun firmly at her in an instant, and her tone became resentful: "——If it wasn't for you to collect those materials and let the matter come to light, I would still like to stay in this house for a while !"

"Don't shoot!" The three people present were visibly nervous.

Fujiya's mood also became complicated: "Esther, are you so malicious to me?"
