Taunts and insults.

Herwin didn't know what the murderer had done to create this scene, but he could feel exactly what he wanted to say, the mockery of everything.

The Ouroboros, humans, lives, Jörmungandr, gods, and murderers are all very contemptuous and disdainful, looking down on all beings from above, and treating all things as filthy mud that can be trampled on at will.

It must be the ultimate evil that ordinary people can easily contend with.

But what purpose did it commit this evil deed? Does it have anything to do with it? Hewen did intend to do something shocking, but he was still an ordinary university professor.

Veronica, probably not, Sgate White, he's not evil enough, far from enough, Precursor Institute, they probably weren't aware of their existence yet.

"Professor Herwen. Kelly said with a solemn face, "I have a guess. ”

Elwood interjected and asked:

"What speculation?"

kelly says:

"I think this matter has something to do with Veronica and her admirers, when those two students came to your house yesterday, maybe they were paving the way for this incident, how could it be such a coincidence? Abbas was killed just after bullying Hara, and the students who knew him were suspicious of us at the first time and came to the door. ”

Elwood smiled and shook his head:

"Young man, do you mean that a student and her suitor plotted to kill a fellow suitor, and did such a brutal thing to his corpse, just to keep Mr. Herwin under suspicion?"

Elwood searched his mind for a few more polite words:

"I have to say that this idea is a bit unrealistic, not to mention that we are all professional police detectives, and we will not treat Mr. Hervin as a murderer just because he had a relationship with the victim, and Veronica is a student, and her suitors are mostly students, so it is difficult for them to do such a thing.

"I'm not talking about killing, but about killing people without leaving any visible evidence, and those things that were done to the bodies of the deceased, who were too young to be capable of. ”

kelly says:

"They are not suitors, but admirers, and secondly, I am skeptical of the crowd range of her admirers, which Inspector will understand if you have seen Veronica with your own eyes, provided that you are not deeply infatuated with her.

"And if it weren't for the adversers, maybe Veronica herself, and maybe you didn't know that Miss Veronica had repeatedly unilaterally provoked Mr. Hervin without any grudges, and with her wealth and charm, she was able to stir up many people of great talent. ”

Elwood took out his notebook and wrote down two lines:

"Veronica, but honestly, you don't want me to investigate her, and we won't even be able to get close to this group of nobles as the law allows, unless we find crucial evidence about her. ”

And he is quite satisfied with his current living conditions, and he does not plan to change jobs.

Hervin nodded and said:

"I don't think that child would really do anything bad, but her admirers might abandon their conscience and moral boundaries for the sake of her ideas.

"She's a very beautiful woman, and she should be at the top of all the people I've ever met. ”

Probably in the top hundred.

Kelly couldn't help but glance at Herwin when she heard this, the word "first" was a little harsh in her ears, and she couldn't imagine anyone who wouldn't put Veronica first.

Kelly, who is also a woman, may not like Veronica, but she also has to admit defeat in front of her beauty, which is still not something that ordinary humans can carry and understand.

"Veronica is really beautiful, at least I haven't seen a woman more beautiful than Veronica, maybe little Hola will be able to match her when she grows up, when that's just a possibility. ”

Hervin smiled:

"It's too exaggerated, in my eyes, the gap between you and Veronica is not obvious, and it should even be the same. ”

Before meeting Frigga and Sif in the eyes, mortal beauty was very limited, but Herwin was also past the age of making a first impression based on appearance.

Kelly's face turned red for a moment, because she thought she was so different from Veronica.

Is Herwin complimenting her for being pretty? But how does it feel weird to praise her in contrast to another, more beautiful woman?

Kelly whispered:

"If she is from the goddess of heaven, then I can only be regarded as a simple peasant woman. ”

Hervin was amazed at her low self-esteem:

"How, if she is a vast and dark nothingness, then you are a brilliant and colorful illusion, each with its own characteristics. ”

Kelly tried hard to digest Hervin's words, and confirmed that it was not a sarcasm or a joke:

"Thank you, Professor Herwen. ”

She didn't know what to say other than thank you.

Elwood interrupted the interaction between the two:

"Mr. Herwen, is there anything else you can offer about this corpse?"

Hervin says:

"There's nothing useful, I'll sort out the content about the Ouroboros Church in the past two days and send it to you, as long as you need it, I will cooperate with you, but with all due respect, I'm not a detective, so I can't really help you. ”

Elwood immediately showed a polite smile that he had trained over many years of his career:

"Excuse me, Mr. Herwin, you have helped us a lot today. ”

Hervin says:

"If there is nothing to do, I will leave first, and the children at home are still waiting for me. ”

Elwood asked curiously:

"Is Mr. Herwin married? ”

Hewen shook his head and said:

"Niece. ”

Kelly suddenly leaned over to the two older men and listened quietly to their conversation.

Elwood smiled helplessly and picked up a cigarette:

"I'm not as lucky as Mr. Herwen, the children are already as tall as the table, and they bother me all day long, and so is my wife, who nagging all day long, and she doesn't let me stay up late at night and run around outside. ”

Herwin smiled and shook his head, he clearly saw happiness and a hint of showing off in the man's eyes.

Herwin took a cigarette and lighter from Elwood, he generally did not smoke the products of the industrial age, in fact, he basically did not even touch tobacco, but now he had no intention of refusing Elwood's kindness.

It's been a long time since I've met a mature man who can talk a couple of words.

Seeing that Herwin was spitting clouds and fog like himself, Elwood asked:

"Why not get married. ”

Kelly's ears pricked up.

Herwin smiled self-deprecatingly:

"It's not that I didn't get married, but I didn't meet the right one for the time being. ”

Elwood shook his cigarette:

"Can't forget?"

Hewen spat out a puff of smoke:

"No, there have been a few love histories, but I can't say that I can't forget them, at most I have some nostalgia. ”

Elwood says:

"Then why don't you get married now, for the sake of your children?

Hewen took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled:

"Neither, the reason is really simple, it's just that I haven't met the right one, I'm not the kind of person who will take the initiative to push love outward. ”

Elwood smiled and looked at Hewen's face:

"A handsome professor like you, there must be a lot of little girls chasing after you. ”

When I was a witcher, this was quite a lot.

Hervin said helplessly:

"Can it be the same? ”

Elwood asked, seemingly casually:

"Why didn't you go to the end with them in the first place, young?"

Herwin shook his head.

"Relationship problems, concepts, family, money, affairs?"

As Elwood's questions were thrown one after the other, the answers were all in no.

At the end, Hewen snuffed out his cigarette and looked deep and dark. Only two words were spoken:

"Death. ”
