她仍然會夢到那個熟悉的畫面。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WDdhE9Ddx
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVbbk30aXk
夢裡，血泊中的兩人，是永遠不會闔起的眼，注視著她、祈求著她。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AqALIqC0f
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm4vXTA2uw
然而，她卻無法改變任何事情。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVMuqh1AiS
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbuQ4oZm2E
每當看見文具盒中的美工刀時，她的心中總會浮現那個危險的想法。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI5L2i6qgA
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgWcwA984I
但很快，就會被理性否定掉了。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLaCnGyM9q
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYRvfqRHAQ
生前作為警官的父母，一定不會希望自己成為那樣的怪物吧？120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKXXGlA55a
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAEApR3WMe
「你聽說了嗎？蘭德里大學也倒了，學生都被抓去從軍。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ6OA54wdX
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd7skRDKQf
「真的假的……下一個不會輪到我們吧？」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAn8rdqxo9
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQnL9udlxI
夏伊勒沒有理會一旁同學的交頭接耳，順手拿起桌上成堆的講義，獨自一人離開了這間四個年級加起來不到四十人的教室。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA3Wx7q4kx
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxgsdbfSLC
「喂！克萊爾！」一個男生追了出來，快步跟上一旁。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfExYYNCCe
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIruszudya
「要去哪裡？」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYDNvFDvLv
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5HbssDl8W
「圖書館。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs8vrnfV58
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZzq1uNHfb
「又是圖書館？」他笑著說，喘氣還沒完全平復。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctHHbgThT3
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsUBq0X1Cj
那是同為法學院的學生，也是她為數不多的「同學」。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg4Es6a5Pb
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwwVcm773a
「聽說妳要跳級畢業了，真厲害啊。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2vjBtI2L4
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNQmwguB8A
「可能吧。」她語氣淡漠如冰，彷彿在驅趕著圍繞耳邊的蒼蠅。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVyf2kM64I
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZUMVRQXRc
「畢業後想做什麼？」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrod6FsVMT
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWFRLaDslM
「檢察官。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWUDOiYz3e
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJdzFkA9HV
她已經相當敷衍，然而不知為何，對方還是能滔滔不絕地繼續下去。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNETt4QS05
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXHJlxxxeP
「嗯……也是，根本就不用問。」他擺擺手，自顧自地笑著說：「我應該會去當律師吧？感覺比較賺錢。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFNZYI7pRL
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI5dOHQuQW
「那我們就是對手了。」夏伊勒冷冷地看了他一眼。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxx2O4AASy
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoRrdLUgwk
對方愣在原地，只能看著加快腳步的她，遠離視線。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioo28jffXG
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmMwJcFyV
「她不會理你的，格雷姆。」一旁路過的學長看笑話式地笑道：「那傢伙是個復仇鬼。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxicHKIxTeV
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8c8PRi9q5
初中第一名畢業、高中第一名畢業，然後是法學院第一名畢業……120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxkIx1tty0
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMQ3dRdn5N
然而，這些也無法讓她感到分毫雀躍，只要她還活著的一天——只要「那個人」還沒被繩之以法的一天。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjac2kUtd3A
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvwYqgj9Yp
「妳有想接手進行的案子？」主任檢察官拿著她稍早送來的文件，皺著眉抬頭：「在妳剛上任的第二天？」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVR52lIUuE
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5434SYtxkB
「沒錯。」夏伊勒站得筆直，眼裡是不容置疑的堅定，像一把還未燒盡的野火。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVtwCwviea
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF2RUDOLq7
「唉……」主任揉了揉眉心，再次檢閱了一遍文件，過了好一會兒才妥協地說：「行吧，只要妳能不影響到地檢署分派的案子。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMSvnyPLBz
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCJdrfsFbV
「是。」她微微點頭後轉身離去，留下一臉鬱悶的主任。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxR1yJQLw
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaFYa7lwJI
對她來說，一切才正要開始。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV944t6o1oA
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoEBm2YkCA
但是，一樁擱置將近十年的案件，究竟要從何起頭？又能留下多少線索？120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xN0gPGhmc
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yaQAE0T0g
筆錄資料、物證、行蹤紀錄……任何原始檔案上留下的蛛絲馬跡她都沒有放過，甚至是那個已成一棟荒宅的，充滿回憶、溫暖與痛苦的地方。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmPuYdZkit
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTvtuMe3fy
而只要踏入其中，那個昔日的溫馨、那份作嘔的血腥，總會一併傳入大腦——那是血泊中的眼，是永遠不會闔起的眼。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPHDSEkTaq
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxSaeverqA
這些年來，每當其他案件插入時，她又必須將其擱置一旁，再延後得更久更久，久到甚至令她懷疑，這條道路究竟有沒有盡頭。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfOazrfVa4
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sbBLi8kIO
即便如此，她也從未忘記自己必須要做的事。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgoB6XKGBl
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZQSJT6ISR
「終於……終於找到了……」直到那年秋天，一切迎來轉變。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVd1UTyyBJ
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1GyiuRIr
她終於找到了，能讓那個罪魁禍首坐穿牢底的鐵證。那時的她敢肯定，那些沒日沒夜的努力，就是為了這個瞬間。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHfiQ0aANv
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTwxuqvVp5
「查理！跟我去法院申請逮捕令。」她一把抓起那件黑色的大衣，快步朝外走去。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tGOUTEE0d
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42qrk16yBI
「欸？現在？」年輕的助手連忙收拾物品，狼狽跟上。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAoQ92mZve
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5YawLU6Hd
「命運就像水中的一枚倒影，當你伸手抓得越緊，它就碎得越是面目全非。」——她已經忘記這是出自哪一本書、哪位作者之筆了。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerG3mWs9Ce
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEJhL6OqHX
當回過神來時，她已經站在這裡。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2gmb2wblL
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG3gjAJOdJ
橘紅色的夕陽、光禿禿的山野，滿山遍野的是細長的銀色十字架，立在象徵死者的墓碑上。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaWkhUcxwT
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleVPVIvUre
「亞倫·霍格姆」眼前墓碑刻著的，是逮捕令上的名字。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CHGukwdg0
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jbOXfh8J5
現在，就插在這裡。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SuAJNJVLo
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCiRqaWsl9
而她能感覺到的，只有一片空白，和一陣塞在喉中的，與那一天一樣噁心的冷。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUinsMYB3
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJque3gCZRe
「開什麼玩笑……」她吸著空氣中的冰冷，終究是吐出了這一句。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1vXtFRLih
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPTNlFbjgX
「開什麼玩笑！」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRbZphGQco
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR681nvXhU
哐噹一聲，她一腳踹飛了立在墓碑前方的金屬罐，花朵與水四散濺出，嚇壞了現場的眾人。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWFkio8jWi
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlNMni6LdE
「開什麼玩笑！開什麼玩笑！」她抬腳奮力踹在十字架上，留下深深鞋印：「什麼英靈園？什麼英雄？戰死就了不起了嗎！」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7rxRRn6wI
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pEUQrRMKp
「請您不要這樣！夏伊勒小姐！」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T5C4SfPVY
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUnAO3NJRg
「克萊爾小姐！妳冷靜一點！」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZCTaLaBXW
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkPZpB5CmN
一旁的刑警和查理伸手將她攔住，但依然抵不過她奮力掙扎的向前踢踹。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8twAvZiTG
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHd95v42o3
「混帳東西！開什麼玩笑！」她歇斯底里地咆哮著，連腳踝踢得發紅都渾然不覺。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKT1RYRihI
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvM0XH0x56
隨著幾人用力一拉，重心不穩的她摔在查理身上，與他一同跌坐地面，兩名刑警趕忙上前將被掀翻的墓地扶正。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQOiQetf9L
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cuQwvZ7v4
「為什麼……」她低下頭，聲音從紊亂的喘息中微弱地流出。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfs7lJ1T6l
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztKNanJHIN
十二年。這些年的堅持，這些日子的努力，究竟是為了什麼？120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42GM3YDwhX
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p5NMe6Yda
那個夢裡死不瞑目的雙眼，究竟該如何睡去？120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DR7yBUHnO
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsYmtEE68Y
「為什麼……」眼淚順著啜泣聲溢出，濕涼的觸感滑過臉頰。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxjqIWf4Pg
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU1LOHLZdN
「克萊爾小姐……」查理用外套將身前的她輕輕裹住，遮住了那點微弱的喘息聲。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpVlzz68fl
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9XjypEKDy
「不要碰我……渾蛋……」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWn6v0iozC
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyNhzYavzm
她再也按捺不住地哭了出來，埋頭低泣。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs0IYoBIMR
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLYegbEue2
據說，後來那座墓碑被從英靈園撤掉了，但那一切已經與她再無關係。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ezpvxxQG
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexDXTsw7SD
她也不會再有機會得知，艾瑪和提姆究竟是為何被殺害了。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZJyugEOrj
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhQiNEcPvp
「接下來，我們要表揚克萊爾·夏伊勒檢察官，再度偵破撲朔迷離的公園懸案。夏伊勒檢察官始終秉持『繩不撓曲、法不阿貴』的堅毅精神，為司法正義樹立了卓越標竿。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqeKNQrz8H
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx6xcy8jnU
「至今，她已成功起訴並歸案生涯第十八起重大貪汙舞弊案，在任期間更明察秋毫，偵破二十四起艱難凶殺懸案。她代表國家再次彰顯了正義的絕對價值，是法治社會最堅實的守護者……」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaA1c1Xgx2
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JXVkS92A
面對典禮上院長的表揚，她的神情沒有任何波動。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N6GVjlwzd
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVcfsaQxIc
只因這些，依舊無法讓她感到分毫的雀躍，只要她還活著的一天。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkNamcj0KR
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaTNrRM9lJ
「克萊爾。」在下班前的一刻，主任叫住了她。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomTt9CBkc1
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPIiiY0w0a
「妳已經把第三個鎮長送進去了，妳知道嗎？」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeueHAGrGA
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR87jPNgOj
「我知道。」她面無表情地說：「戰後的社會治安，實在令人髮指。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ONhdvUWoW
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUktKJMBUZI
「克萊爾。」主任皺著眉，神情嚴肅：「妳贏了那幾場漂亮的勝仗，媒體把妳捧成英雄……」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYSzeRfWr6
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9cHySl4tQ
「但司法部要的是『結案率』，不是『與全世界為敵』。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK8W3MTZAM
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pc1KRzJdv
夏伊勒微微瞇起眼，冰冷的視線遠比晚冬的寒氣來得懾人：「你是要我當作沒看到，讓那些犯人逍遙法外嗎？」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3SUGTNHn6
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAgR3bv36o
「有些案子，點到為止就夠了，再挖下去，對誰都沒有好處。」他壓低了聲，一字一句的說著。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GZFgPHydS
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRTh8eVsSh
「克萊爾，聽我一句：真正的標竿，是懂得在什麼時候睜一隻眼，閉一隻眼。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ECE6wes5
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGU9ZCUhau
「我是司法的劍。」還不等主任說完，夏伊勒出聲打斷了他。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2T7N2pftp
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCahtEre492
「今後也會繼續『與世界為敵』，直到那些有罪之人全部繩之以法，或是我死掉的那天。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeDlN3c6V8
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZwt8OFxxQ
「夏伊勒！」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R66U64eGt
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡietncoIvZZ
她沒有理會對方的叫喚，說完便轉身離去，只留下恨得牙癢癢卻無可奈何的主任。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbmQArNQD7
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlegQEdtug
沒錯，既然女神是盲眼的，那麼就由她來成為那把劍，那把不計代價，永恆指向罪惡的劍。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFahjxhzYN
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn4JMdkP6y
直至今日，每當走過這道被夜色包裹的走廊時，這一切總會在她腦海浮現。反覆地刺激著、確認著她早已經下定的決心。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXiCpN8716
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzci0VIDZt
「查理，我今晚要看到文森特議員名下的所有資產和運用情況。」她走入幾乎空無一人的辦公室，隨手將大衣甩到了椅背上。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbQDZsKosZ
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXB7m9GKGL
「欸？現在？今晚嗎？」本就已經埋在文件堆裡的查理猛地抬頭，面露震驚。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauziAfiu1l
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsR09RirAY
「嗯，今晚。」她坐在與查理僅有一塊塑膠板之隔的對桌，喚醒了還未關機的電腦螢幕。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEKXNfTyzk
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NGWCmfGhV
「又來……」他嘆了口氣，將手中的文件推至一旁。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIf0mL9Jjw
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjruPqH1pmj
「你剛剛說什麼？」
「沒有。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtBBuOYnxg
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3od5gHb7v5
隱藏的蟲族、那個少女的能力、新的線索以及羅特稍早的那番話……思緒像翻滾的暗潮翻攪她的大腦，使她不禁閉上眼按了按眉間。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdkMlUToUM
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ9iJ8wG6g
「妳還好嗎？要不要休息一下？」查理探頭瞥了她一眼，神色平穩地說：「我會先負責調查的，妳就先休息一下吧。」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslDWwU22hn
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY3TMMa9FR
夏伊勒愣了一下，望向他桌邊成堆的文件。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NHzqa1oJ5
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QVIOrbkwM
「不需要，這本來就是我的案子。」她冷冷說道。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN0u9Tfaod
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VZHRPlgNc
空蕩蕩的辦公室，只剩安靜的兩人默默敲擊著鍵盤，連一句對話也沒有，沉寂的空間比任何時候都來得令人能夠靜下情緒。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq3Harr56g
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TWkw3uOjt
「謝謝你，查理。」她聲音微弱，在夜深人靜的此刻卻又無比清晰。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkCZHrfzIN
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5s3hXitRE
查理身體顫了一下，不可置信地抬頭看她，彷彿剛剛聽聞了一個驚天動地的言論。120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7IV3TT0UM
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifIbSakkQM
「妳沒事吧？是不是真的太累了？」120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAcIVQIE4i
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEeFnoDURD
「找死嗎？」
