Section 14 Inquiry
Do you know His Highness Alexander Eredinand?"
"know."
"How did you meet?"
"Drowned--Well, I saved him."
“Where is it?”
"The sea near the center of Simonton's resort." Lily could of course answer the "Triangle Sea". But it is well known that the Triangle Sea base of the Salieri family is a must-pass transit station when Eliushin drug landed in Western Sardinia. She could not let her answer make others associate Alex with drug dealing.
But the inquirer was obviously holding the opposite attempt to her.
"He was injured?"
"I injured him with a scooter." Lily smiled embarrassedly: "He suddenly grabbed my foot and I was startled." If you simply answered "yes", it might be considered a gunshot wound - and gunshot wounds are mostly related to crimes or criminals.
The questioner took a few steps back and forth.
"You and your parents have obtained the house and money of the Sallyrieli family? And the Sallyri family intends to marry your parents?"
"My parents wanted to live with my uncle a long time ago. The Sallyri's family gave us five thousand yuan. There is also a small building by the sea. There are four rooms. It's very good - as for the engagement, it's just an adult's idea. I want to go to college.
”
The attendees showed disapproving expressions - the questioner wanted to make them feel that Lily and her family had been kept by the Sallyri family.
Even the members of the House of Commons have an average annual income of around 600,000 yuan. The best place for a small building on the beach is only about 20,000 yuan.
"But you have also said that you are His Highness Alexander's fiancée."
"I was a little too childish at that time. Because some girls laughed at me for not having a boyfriend... Of course they had no malice." Lily smiled brightly: "In fact, Alex and I were always just ordinary friends. But at that time, he was the only one by me, who was Sardinian, so... I used him as a shield. I am very sorry for this." She wrapped her fingers around her big dark brown eyes on her chest and looked at her as if the child who had accidentally done something wrong was begging for forgiveness by the adults - this skin was beautiful. The cheeks were covered with a thin layer of rose red. The girl was different from Rosalia, who was golden and blue-eyed, and she was a typical Sardinian girl with vitality and youth.
Lily was glad that the audience relaxed their tight shoulders and then she immediately returned her attention to the questioner's place-she knew she was not so nervous on the surface. She was calm, relaxed, confident and honest.
After Alex left, she and Barbara were immediately surrounded by reporters. In addition to Barbara's distribution of staff food, accommodation, transportation costs, etc. due to ticket income, donations and advertising sponsorship income, distribution of stage lighting, sound, costumes, props, stage design and venue rental fees, publicity costs, and the largest reconstruction of "Alice Wonderland" matters, etc., being entangled as Black's spokesperson in the world of the Living - more than one hundred new songwriters with a very black style - after all, a high-tech projection cannot be made by himself, so only Lily, who can be familiar with and understand the inspiration and creative process of these songs at any time, signed the copyright contracts and documents.
Of course, Beverly's media couldn't miss this opportunity to hype this - Barbara gave her no special training for no less than a dozen before Lily had to face the reporter alone.
"You once wanted to learn how to seduce men from me. This was stupid." Barbara said bluntly, Lily's face suddenly turned red: "You should learn how to seduce everyone like me, men, women, old men, children... and even your friends and your enemies."
The big star raised his head and raised his chest in a very dignified manner and waved the decorative feathers that were temporarily used as teaching sticks.
She asked Lily to use the room she had used was filled with mirrors and every small flaw could be clearly seen by herself.
"——Make sure that you are in good condition but don't try your best to show your charm like a peacock, and you won't suddenly run away by yourself. Anyone with eyes can feel this without having to poke it under their noses. In this way, they will either get bored or see those shortcomings that they didn't see."
"——You have a rare face? Is it beautiful? Secondly, the most important thing is that it can gain the trust of others."
"—Put on trousers instead of skirts, don't wear bikini to attend the celestial camp ** party—I guess you won't be anything else... Don't worry about the worst clothes and the silly smiles or something. - Occasionally making a fool of yourself is beneficial to mental health - Other people hate perfect heroes and saints."
"——Lying? Why do you lie? You are not good at this and don't expose your own shortcomings as you are not good at pretending. You have never taken drugs, killed people, evaded taxes, robbed banks, and others are personal ** and trade secrets."
"—If you have to say something, think about it before saying it slowly, say less, say better and more correct."
"—Don't make a big fuss because of a little ugly word or attitude and pursue it, which will make you lose more than you can - check if you have any mistakes and find corrections and cannot find them, don't be frustrated, nervous and unhappy because this can only make your enemies proud. The best way is to be when they have never been born."
...
Now Lily sincerely thanks Barbara for her teachings - she could not imagine that before this, she faced these aggressive and murderous questions, as for the inquirer's painstaking contempt tone and sharp eyes, she completely failed to win Miss Lily's favor - compared to the methods of the reporter from the Beverly Hills of the Western Continent, this gentleman's performance can be ignored. ()
The inquirer now seems to be distracted unconsciously. While feeling insulted, he quietly decided that it was time to shoot an important blow. He asked in a low voice: "Please answer me honestly. You were arrested for assisting criminals in escape from prison while studying at the Feloncui City-National Women's Noble College. That was when Alexander Rieri helped you. You were exempted from prosecution and even left any criminal record...is that true?"
“I’ve never been arrested.”
Unexpectedly, Lily did not answer yes or no—this would fall into a trap. She looked straight at the questioner and replied calmly: "I think your investigators are too dereliction of duty. In Fei Lengcui, I am a victim, and I was kidnapped by a shameless and evil criminal. If Alex had not saved me, I would have died. I would definitely be like several other classmates. I transferred to school because of this reason. I can't help a classmate who killed me beat me and hurt me and imprisoned me and almost killed me."
Her voice was clear and firm. The pen needle of the lie detector continued to slide slowly and regularly on the paper without any abnormalities.
"Alex saved you? How did he save you?!" The questioner quickly grabbed a small question. "He fought with the criminal and killed him?"
"He found us and called the police." Lily said bluntly.
"us?"
Li was sure that these people didn't really understand the whole thing-the Knights obviously wouldn't say too much to the mortals in their eyes. She suppressed her eyebrows: "We were kidnapped at the same time, and my classmate Anne Gretterieri and Rosalia, who is now Rosalia Ferdinand Carlos, hadn't found us in time. She would have died."
The audience seemed to frown slightly together.
Lily smiled in her heart: It is true that Alex saved her, and Rosalia or the forces she represents are doing now, obviously not gratitude and reward but malicious attacks.
I hope that in addition to the "saint", she can also like the name of the ungrateful person.
The answer made the questioner's face turn pale. He stared at the lie detector as if he wanted it to suddenly shake wildly, so it showed that the little girl was lying. Lily was right. The Templars had no intention of informing a mortal that they knew and would not leave any written records for mortals to check. Just as they would not let the ordinary people know that they had burned the two criminals tempted by the demons without any investigation and trial. The investigators only found some students and spent a lot of effort to knock open the mouth of an employee of the Salieri family. He was working in Feilencui at the time. If it weren't for this incident, it would be a good idea that Alexander had abused his powers and had already officially won the title of Crown Prince. He would not have taken the risk of raising this question.
The inquirer urgently asked several somewhat boundless questions in order to change his emotions with the audience until Chief Inspector Cervantes asked him to return to the topic and began to raise the question about Alexander's months-long "vacation" problem in the Western Continental Federation - a crown prince who values personal interests over the responsibilities and obligations entrusted to the state?
Lily thought for a while before answering the question, and finally she said slowly: "I can't answer this question - because I'm not Alex. But I can say what I've got in those months - I think you should know that it's definitely not money. Thirty percent of the net income of those songs belongs to Black's children, all 20 percent of all the charities of the Western Continental Federation donated 40 percent of my charity..." She looked at the inquirer: "I donated to the Fisheries Exhibition Committee of Western Sardinia to exchange for the old ship domestic sewage treatment units so that they can fish in those environmentally sensitive areas."
People showed surprise expressions without exception, but some were revealed on their faces and some were just hidden deep in their eyes.
"I am the daughter of a Sardinian fisherman growing up in a fishing village. For the first eighteen years of my life, I have been listening to my father, uncle and neighbors complaining that their fishing range is getting smaller and smaller - but I don't know what the cause is, and how to solve them, or I never thought of it.
If I hadn't left there to watch, listen and learn, even if I got twice the copyright of the song or even more wealth, I would only give it to my parents or buy what I like - and would never think that I could do it - so much and so good... Many things are something that I have never written in books that you can only understand some real truth from it if you see your own experience."
She smiled at everyone: "This is what I learned from Alex and many kind and sincere people and the most valuable thing I have ever obtained in those months."
****
How wonderful - a child who has almost been abandoned for naivety and childishness can now perfectly distort and allude Alex's happy holiday into a touching and arduous journey full of hope and responsibility - perhaps it cannot be ruled out that she thought so.
In the lounge, which is quite far away from the investigation committee's consultation with relevant witnesses, there is a thick cement steel wall, a cotton plate and silk that have good sound absorption function, which can not block the perception of the undead.
Although "the early people get up early to enter the grave (Sardinian proverb)" this sentence obviously corresponds to the fact that Wilderger, who is already in the grave, is also a questioned person, but the questioning time is scheduled at 9 o'clock at night. He listened to all the questions. The Archbishop's notice was probably only twenty-seven hours earlier than the document confirmation. But everyone knew that half an hour's error could lead to the establishment of a new Federation. The Eastern Continental Federation was originally because a country attempted to submit a declaration of war half an hour before the war started to evade the crime of sneak attack. However, due to various unpredictable reasons, the country was half an hour late and was furious to fight back against neighboring countries and couldn't help but get involved in this, which led to the third continental war. The result was the establishment of the Eastern Continental Federation dominated by victorious countries.
Twenty-seven hours can already allow those well-trained staff to do a lot of things to protect and fight back.
There is no suspense in Lily's subsequent inquiry - they can't even do anything about Lily's ability to deal with Barbara and other guys who are more tricky than demons?
They obviously exhausted all the energy of the inquirer, who should have been under strong attack, and almost got left out of trouble. It seemed that Cervantes, who would never feel tired, took over the responsibilities of the inquirer. Every question he read out was so hard and insensible. As if reading every crime Wilderger committed and the corresponding verdict. After discussion, a few of the questions decided were still too bad and sharp. Juana jumped onto his uncle's head and made trouble. The Attorney General either suddenly dropped a thigh of his head that should have been neatly combed and swept it to his eyes or was frowning by the sudden itch on his back. He had to pause the question. This won a lot of time for Wilderger to think... and entertainment.
The time for Wilderger to leave the gloomy building was delayed until 11 p.m.
When he walked out of the door, the undead breathed a deep breath. Although he didn't need to breathe now, he would still be nervous when facing the serious female parents.
Especially his niece was abducted by himself.
He waited at the door for a while until the lights on the Attorney General's office lighted up.
"Let's go." Juana said: "Uncle has to finish the work before he can fall asleep - so is my dad."
Wilderger touched Juana's small head with his index finger.
"We will have many more opportunities to see him in the future," said the undead, "I promise."
That's right—there will be many more opportunities in the future.
Wilderger narrowed his eyes and looked down at the pilgrims who marched over the Virgin with candles under the steps—their numbers seemed so daunting that the square had become a sea of candles—but so what? How long would it last without the madness of the Holy Land?
The corners of the Dead Knight's lips bent slightly, he bent slightly, his body and his toes stood up on the highest steps and stepped heavily like a cheetah foraging...
