"Does that mean there's no way we're going to get Anderson's guys off the horse?"

The smile on Alber's lips permeated a touch of pathos and powerlessness, and then, his eyes were raised again, looking at Hoden, the despair hidden in the depths of his eyes was dragging his ankles into the darkness little by little, and full of bitterness overflowed from the smile.

Perhaps, sacrificing the lives of the Alber family may not be able to shake those high-ranking nobles.

Even if the truth is unearthed, so what?

Truth requires courage to insist, while justice requires the power of social solidarity to enforce it. Too often, they are able to dig up the truth but still fail to enforce justice.

Facing Alber's gaze, the always calm Holden was a little embarrassed, not because of guilt or fear, but because he couldn't give an answer.

This is true from the Ursula case to the Alber case. Hodden can follow the clues to find the truth, but he can't ensure that the truth is equal to justice.

Tarbes Girls' High School has suffered a corresponding punishment, and its closure and dissolution should be a high probability event, but it is not necessarily the same fate for Southern Orson Company. The search for truth and the pursuit of justice are equally difficult, but the dilemmas they face are two very different things.

Horgan helps Alber find the truth, but what about justice?

"Mr. Alber. ”

It was not Hordon who spoke, but Isa, her eyes were clear and firm, and the blood and passion that erupted in her heart were burning, not even realizing that she had clenched her hands, and seemed to be ready to roll up her sleeves and go into battle in person at any time.

"We're working on it. ”

Issa said.

"We must believe that justice exists. Although it is very, very difficult to achieve, I want you to know that there is still a group of people who are chasing justice, and we still firmly believe that the light of Goddess Shuma is shrouded in Norsnes and that justice will not disappear. ”

"Squadron Leader Trento is fighting, I'm fighting, and we're all standing side by side with you. ”

"You should believe that evil will eventually be punished, justice will be served, and that Southern Orson will have to pay for what they have done. ”

Word by word, Isa's fighting spirit was burning, as if he could hear the crackling sound of burning, and the powerful power was transmitted to Alber through his eyes, lighting up a glimmer of hope in Alber's eyes, and the darkness of despair quickly dissipated.

Holden lowered his gaze, hiding his embarrassment.

Actually, Issa shouldn't have said that.

As sheriff, she needs to maintain a neutral and objective position, so as not to let her emotions influence judgment and decision-making, and these words will give Alber unrealistic illusions, emotions suppress reason and prevail, and the despair is even more terrible if the subsequent development changes.

Perhaps, Hodden could have told Alber this, but Issa, as sheriff, could not, and this was professional ethics.

Why doesn't Issa understand this?

It's just that there are some things that I know I can't do, but not because of blood, but because of faith.

From Tarbes Girls' High School to the Southern Orson Company, and the uncountable missing homeless, in a short period of time, Issa has witnessed too much helplessness and sighing in the darkness, these fresh lives are abandoned and forgotten and sacrificed at will, why can those criminals get away with impunity without burden, and why do those victims have to bear the wounds and struggle?

What about justice?

What about morality?

What about the light?

Where have they gone?

So, should people believe that kindness can bring happiness, or should they choose to harm the innocent?

"Mr. Alber, you know what? Holden, the young man sitting next to me, was the one who told me that I should continue to believe in justice. ”

Because only when all people believe in the existence of justice, and when they encounter difficulties, disasters, and fears, they are willing to choose to believe in goodness. When you are wronged, you choose to trust the company, not the security team, and this is our dereliction of duty. Because we ignore the truth, and because we forget justice, you turn your back on us. ”

Just like Ursula and them.

"But from now on, you can trust in justice, even if it's just a faint hope, and it may light up the world. I assure you, we will not give up easily. ”

Even if the opponent is the Southern Orson Company, so what?

Giving it a gamble and giving it a go can end up winning or failing, after all, they are facing a behemoth, but what is certain is that if they give up here, they will never succeed.

Isa's eyes were so bright, shining with conviction.

Alber nodded heavily, his spine unconsciously straightened up, and the middle-aged man who would not bend regained his courage, looked at Issa with resolute eyes, and let out a long breath, "This is the world I want to show Ames." ”

Holden didn't say anything after all, because faith is indeed the first motivation needed to expose the Southern Orson Company.

Even if Trento doesn't say much about the company, the small details that Issa has repeatedly tried to investigate Victor's case and repeatedly run into a wall are enough to say a lot.

"Squadron Leader, I'll go to the bathroom. ”

Hodden whispered to Issa, then gestured to Alber's jaw, then stood up and turned to leave the room—

He needed to sort out his thoughts.

Initially, based on the information Victor revealed before his death, Holden assumed that the Southern Orson Company should be related to secret tunnels, which in turn were related to missing persons, and that Victor was sealed because he knew the secrets.

However, judging from the information Alber revealed today, the involvement of the Southern Orson Company is deeper than imagined, and it may even be the supporter behind Mr. Harford - at least one of the supporters, in addition to the monthly expenses, Victor also participated in the banquet.

There are two questions that are most curious in Hoden's mind right now:

First, how much does Victor really know?

If Victor has touched the edge of secrecy, then his level is too low? And the first reaction after the accident is to be killed rather than protected - judging from the tip of the iceberg that the Southern Orson Company is now showing, it is not a problem at all to save a Victor from the security team, does this mean that Victor is not worth it?

If Victor doesn't know anything, then is there a possibility that the banquet itself is just a front, and the waiters are not the target, and those who disappear may be because they have snooped on some secrets, and those who have disappeared have nothing to do with the banquet at all?

Second, why is Nanfang Orson involved?

Judging from the reactions of the security forces in the third and eighth jurisdictions, this company is already top-notch, and the formal channels for making money are already extraordinary, so why do you need to participate in those dark transactions? Or maybe the value of dark transactions is still more than imagined?
