Chapter 57: Sarah And Diana (2)

"Relax, I'm not coming here to capture you. I just want to ask you some questions. Um... Won't you invite me to sit down?" Jeanne smiled. Her tone was relaxed and pleasant.

"Oh, yes, yes..." Sarah hurriedly started looking for chairs. She brought the chair she was sitting on to Jeanne, and then gave Keiko the small chair that her daughter Diana was sitting on.

When Keiko was in front of her, she deliberately wiped the surface of the chair with her sleeve, and bowed slightly to Keiko. It seemed that she also recognized who Keiko was.

There were only two chairs in the house, and they were both used by Jeanne and Keiko, so Sarah could only sit by the bed, while Diana simply sat on the ground, staring at the fire with a lowered head, saying nothing and ignoring anyone.

"So, I'll start?" Jeanne said in a tone asking for confirmation, and when she saw Sarah nod, she asked, "First of all, I want to know if you have any connection with the military higher up?"

This first question dumbstruck Keiko. She couldn't help but stare at Jeanne beside her with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

'What is Jeanne talking about?'

Sarah and Diana have been struggling for five years to investigate Leigh Pisco's suicide case, exhausting their family assets. If they had a connection to the military's higher-ups, how could this case be dragged on for almost five years?

Obviously, this question also stunned Sarah, and suddenly her face started losing its color. Before she could answer, Jeanne interrupted. 

"I'm going back this afternoon. I don't want to waste your time or mine, so I won't beat the bush with you," Jeanne's tone became colder and stricter, "You and your daughter fled here all the way from Sariel, and when the fire broke, you were also the first to escape. If you want to say you did it yourself, I seriously have doubts about it."

"What made me really suspicious was after seeing you were being chased by debt collectors in Ein, and I was there that day by chance. You and your daughter were in trouble, and no one offered their help to you. Fortunately, Second Lieutenant Lee is a big softie, so she helped you. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to this matter, but when I pondered about this matter carefully, I felt something was fishy."

Sarah's head lowered so much that Jeanne couldn't see her expression, but she didn't mind it and continued, "Debt collectors' intelligent networks shouldn't be as good as those of the military, don't you agree?" Jeanne's voice became deeper, sending a chill down Sarah's spine. "But why could they find you when the military couldn't? Even after that commotion, they didn't seem to care, and you had even successfully arrived at Trudheim at this time. How could something like this happen, I wonder?" 

The air of silence pervaded the room, and the atmosphere suddenly turned heavy and oppressive. Keiko's body was restless; she seemed to want to interrupt right away, but Jeanne continued without giving her a chance.

"My guess is that there are three possibilities," she said while showing her three fingers, "Firstly, the higher-ups really knew your whereabouts, but they let it go because someone was secretly backing you, hoping that you could get asylum."

"The second possibility is that the military really didn't know of your whereabouts and your most recent location was secretly leaked by debt collectors to the authorities."

"The last possibility is... that you deliberately leaked your whereabouts, clashed with debt collectors in Ein's Central Square to alert some people who are hiding in the dark, or for some other purpose. Of course, this third point is based on the first point. As far as possibilities are concerned, the second is obviously the least, the first is the most likely, and the third is purely my own speculation." 

"Officer, I don't have an idea of what you're talking about," Sarah shook her head profusely while still lowering her head to avoid Jeanne's gaze, and her voice trembled, making her sound so pitiful, "How could I have contact with the military higher up like you say I was? If I had that ability, my husband's affairs would have come to light long ago."

"Okay, you don't need to answer this question if you don't want to," Jeanne suddenly changed her mind, as if she no longer needed Sarah's answer, and then she asked again, "Do you know that you have three personalities?"

Sarah nodded slowly.

Jeanne pondered for a moment and asked again. 

"With all due respect, when you were cornered in the square at that time, why didn't you switch personalities?" 

"I...I don't know..." Sarah staggered. Her voice broke down. 

"Hey! What are you doing?! Why are you interrogating my mother like this?! Whatever happened to my mother, it's none of your business!"

Diana, who was silent on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and jumped up and angrily shouted at Jeanne. 

"Diana! Shut up!" Sarah said urgently. 

"Little girl, don't worry, I have one last question. I'll leave after I ask, and I won't bother you again," Jeanne said calmly, without any fluctuations in her voice. Then she turned her eyes back to Sarah and continued to ask, "Have you been living in Sariel in the five years after your husband's accident?" 

"No, Diana and I were shuttling between Sariel and Nilfheim, and we had stayed in both places for a long time," Sarah replied. 

"Very good, I've finished asking," Jeanne stood up, smiled at the mother and daughter, and then pushed the door and walked out. Keiko looked at her with a puzzled expression and followed her out. 

"Major, you... you were going too far just now!" Keiko frowned and whispered to Jeanne when she went out. 

"Going too far?" Jeanne laughed, but her eyes darkened, "I just asked some questions. When people with guilty feelings in their hearts hear it, naturally they'll feel that I'm too excessive." 

"Why are you doing this? What does this have to do with you?" Keiko unknowingly grunted in a low voice as anger eluded her. 

Jeanne gave her a sidelong glance and sighed, then pointed her index finger to her temple while looking at Keiko with ridicule in her eyes.

Keiko's face was flushed with anger. This woman was clearly laughing at her as if she was a fool! But who could keep up with her thinking? She asked those seemingly random questions that Keiko couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried.

Jeanne didn't answer Keiko's question but instead said, "Second lieutenant Lee, this mother-daughter affair won't end here, and I may have to visit them again. They are indeed very pitiful, I would trouble Second Lieutenant Lee to take care of them."

Jeanne's attitude changed so suddenly, like a downpour on a sunny day, that Keiko struggled to believe it. One moment ago, she cornered the mother and daughter like a wicked witch, and the next moment, she was very kind, like a saint. What was going on? 

She sighed deeply and felt a bit tired. She looked around and saw that when Donna left, there were many people watching them secretly, making her a little uncomfortable. 

Her eyes inadvertently fell on the scribble drawn by Diana on the ground with a wooden stick. Looking at it closely, she found that the girl drew a crying woman, holding an umbrella in the heavy rain.

For some reason, Keiko's heart tightened when she glimpsed at the saddening picture.
