There is a kind of person who is very annoying.
When you have started a new life and gradually let go of your attachment to the past and begun to embrace a new tomorrow.
This kind of person will suddenly pop up and remind you that you cannot embrace tomorrow because you have no future!
This is what the art teacher was thinking at this moment. The voice and content were so disgusting that she even had the idea of hanging up the phone.
But her reason told her that she couldn't do this.
Although she is "retired", she is still a federal public servant, and she still has to stand up when needed.
She looked around and nodded, "It's easier to talk."
The voice of the person on the other side was a little cold, "The Department of Homeland Security has restarted the evidence collection and investigation of the crimes committed by the Grimm Brothers. As one of the people closest to them, we need you to cooperate with us in some evidence collection work."
The art teacher hesitated for a while, "We all know whether they committed a crime and whether they were tried has nothing to do with their own behavior."
This is a truth she gradually understood after being in contact with Fern for a while.
Just the fact that the Grimm brothers killed the heads of the five major families of Bupen, from a legal perspective, they committed a definite crime.
They killed people, no matter what their purpose was or what method they used, they killed people.
But the result was that they were not punished in any way, and no one arrested them. Everyone acquiesced in the occurrence of these things and treated them as if they had not happened.
Because they are the Brothers Grimm, and because behind them is Lynch.
No one can take on the Brothers Grimm without bringing down Lynch, no one can do that.
A lot of evidence has been collected about the Grimm brothers, but is it useful?
Charge them with murder?
Where is the evidence?
Sue them for selling bootleg liquor?
Where is the evidence?
The law is about evidence!
Without evidence, what can be done against them?
The person on the phone obviously knew this, but he still asked the art teacher to do it.
"How to send them to the dock is our business, and your job is to continue to collect evidence."
"It would be best to have Vern or Noel admit in person that they have committed crimes, and it would be best to involve Lynch."
"You can go to the store on Main Street, write down the equipment you need on paper, and put it in the complaint box."
"After the items arrive, you can go to the locker No.... at the station to pick them up."
"If there is an emergency, you can contact this number..."
With the quality of a "senior agent", the art teacher quickly memorized these key place names and numbers. Through this phone call, she realized that they might be serious this time.
This also put her into a very contradictory psychological state.
She has feelings for Fern.
At first she didn't know that the artistic student was Fern. She admired his always surprising and unexpected content and was amazed by his choice of colors.
She believed that Fern could become a top art master and a well-known painter.
Fern itself is also like a work of art.
He is full of passion when creating, like the rising sun shining brightly!
But sometimes, he is like a baby, a child.
This kind of conflict and strong contrast fascinated her deeply.
She liked Fern's head pressed against her belly, lying in her arms like a child attached to its mother.
She also likes his sometimes violent strength, full of destructive power!
In her eyes, Fern is different now than in the past. They are both engaged in legitimate jobs and everything seems to be getting better.
If there hadn't been this phone call.
She responded to the request on the phone in silence, and the guy's voice on the other end of the phone softened slightly.
"I know that you and Fern have feelings. As long as you can get enough evidence or convince Fern to turn into a tainted witness, I can ensure that he will be acquitted in the end."
"What we need is Noel and Lynch."
"More investigations have been launched, and I believe there will always be results, which is not a bad thing for you."
"At least you can keep him, until we get enough evidence!"
The art teacher sighed, "I know..."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, leaned against the wall and turned to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, but she didn't feel much warmth.
It was around 20 degrees in Slem in winter. The sunlight was actually warm when it hit people's bodies, but she couldn't feel it.
All I can feel is a cruel chill.
She quickly changed her clothes, went to the street store, made a list of the equipment she wanted, and stuffed it into the complaint and suggestion box.
The clerk's disgusted look made her a little embarrassed. After all, it was a bit... excessive for her to complain without making any purchases.
She walked around outside. She rarely went out after arriving in Slem. The bustling city made her feel out of place.
She likes to paint in quiet places, and her early undercover career made her preferences different from others.
This was her first time exploring the city in more depth.
The laughter on people's faces, the sound of money flowing, and the rising desire in the halo of neon lights!
Videos of the arena show brutal fights, and there are several thick call booklets in a random phone booth on the roadside.
There are people selling free magazines in hotel cafes. The magazines either introduce the special services of the casino or introduce various girls and boys.
This is Slem, a city full of desires and where desires can be unleashed!
Strange city.
After eating something casually on the roadside in the evening, when he returned home, Fern was already eating in the restaurant.
"Have you eaten yet?"
The art teacher was also fascinated by the dissonance of seeing the big, bulky Fern wearing an apron and eating at the dining table.
"Well, I've eaten!" The art teacher changed her clothes and walked into the restaurant. She looked at the exquisite food and felt more motivated to eat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is hard to imagine that Fern, the pervert in the eyes and minds of many people, has a completely different side.
He has a rich creative spirit, and every painting may seem irrelevant, but he can find something shocking in it.
The dishes he cooks are beautiful and delicious, and the dishes in big hotels are nothing more than that!
She picked up a piece of meat with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth, then sat on the edge of the restaurant.
The two of them were talking and eating.
Just like an ordinary couple having an ordinary dinner in the evening, simple, but not simple.
"Have you been busy at work lately?"
After the meal, the two of them sat on the sofa and watched Slem's TV programs. There were quite a few TV stations and the content was very rich.
Because companies from all over the world gather here, including TV stations.
In order to promote their own culture, many TV stations also broadcast TV programs and TV series that are foreign to federal people.
There is no one episode per week, most TV series have one episode per day, plus various other variety shows, and the whole world uses one language.
It can be said that the people living here are very happy and they can see whatever they want!
What was playing on the TV at this time was the preview of tomorrow's horse racing, which was broadcast by the official Slem TV station and rebroadcast by other TV stations.
The main introduction is the contestants and their mounts in tomorrow's horse racing, as well as various odds and past results.
"Did you buy a racehorse?", she asked.
Fern shook his head, "I just like animals."
The art teacher couldn't help laughing. Sometimes Fern was very childish and would say things that only children would say.
She also put forward some of her own ideas, "I feel a little bored at home today and want to find something to do."
Fern turned to look at her, "How about I open a gallery for you?"
But as he spoke, he shook his head again, "This is not a suitable place to open a gallery. It's too noisy and there are tourists everywhere. They will bore you so much that you don't have the time to create."
"Do you have any ideas of your own?"
The art teacher thought for a while and said, "I want to find a job so that I can kill some time."
"What do you mainly do now?"
Fern didn't think about other aspects, and just answered normally, "Managing some work matters."
