Chapter 183 When the dove of peace streaks across the sky 25

The trial ended and the war criminals were taken away from the scene one after another.

Ludwig slowly walked behind the team, and a different gaze fell gently on him.

The alertness of a soldier enabled him to keenly catch this sight, and he immediately looked in that direction.

Who did he see?

——His love, his hate, the person he has been pursuing all his life and is willing to let go and fulfill.

Tanya was sitting in the crowd, staring deeply at him, her expression sad and painful.

Before today, Ludwig had never thought that his and Tanya's first reunion after separation would happen under such circumstances.

In this solemn military court, he was a war criminal who had been despised by everyone, and she was a high-ranking spectator of the victorious country.

The distance between them is not long, but it seems to be naturally separated by countless mountains and rivers.

Tanya was still looking at him, but Ludwig quickly looked away, fearing that he would lose his composure on the spot if he took one more look, and desperately acknowledged her aloud.

Forced into a relationship with a war criminal, Tanya knew she would face endless troubles and investigations.

How could he bear to let her get entangled in public opinion?

Ludwig and Tanya's past has been fixed 20 years ago, and now they are just two strangers who don't know each other.

Right, that is it.

Ludwig lowered his head and smiled silently, but the smile was full of self-deprecation and bitterness.

He sighed imperceptibly, decided not to stay any longer, looked ahead, tried to straighten his body, and strode out in a decent manner.

The soldiers escorting Ludwig searched the crowd for a while, but could not find the person he was staring at just now. Seeing the criminal getting farther and farther away from them, they could only suppress their confusion and chase after him.

Until Ludwig disappeared, Mrs. Tanya was still immersed in sadness.

Ling Liang saw that her condition was obviously not right, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Mrs. Tanya reluctantly smiled at him, but turned her face away the next second and quietly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Ling Liang saw her actions and didn't expose her. He looked away silently and pretended that he didn't notice anything.

Things in the world are unpredictable, and fate plays tricks on people. A couple who were close in the past will see each other again forever. Who can feel better if they let it go?

Before the trial, Mrs. Tanya had no idea that Ludwig was among the criminals. The moment he came out, she doubted whether she had seen it wrong.

Ludwig returned to China not long after they broke up, and the two were separated from each other since then. She never heard from the other party again.

I never thought that after so many years, he would stand in court as a war criminal with numerous crimes. The various plans and actions he planned and participated in the implementation of were shocking and disturbing.

The war has changed this man too much, but he was clearly a kind and conscientious person in the past...

It was two fifteen in the morning.

In a simple small room where war criminals were temporarily detained, Ludwig was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the roof, unable to fall asleep.

Of course, it doesn't really matter whether he sleeps or not now. Anyway, as soon as the sun comes up in the morning, he will be taken to the execution. When the rope is tightened and his eyes are closed, he can say goodbye to the world and darkness forever. Went to keep company.

The bedside table lamp was still on, and the light shone on Ludwig's face.

He suddenly thought of his friend who was hanged because he was unwilling to join them.

My friend's final words have now come true.

As expected, they, the invaders, will not end well, they will all go to hell as he wished.

"Haha, hahaha..." Ludwig raised his hands to cover his eyes, and a hoarse and unpleasant laugh burst from his throat.

He laughed so hard that his shoulders shook, as if he had encountered the most interesting thing in the world.

Suddenly, his laughter stopped, he suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up, quickly looking for something in the room.

No, no, still no!

There was no sharp weapon to be found in the house, not even a mirror hanging.

The sound of Ludwig rummaging through boxes and cabinets alerted the soldiers guarding the door.

They opened the door and saw the prisoner standing in the middle of the room, looking over with red eyes.

"You, what are you doing? I warn you, don't think about running away or committing suicide..."

Before one of the soldiers could finish speaking, Ludwig fell down clutching his chest, shocking him.

After looking at his companions and receiving a positive answer, the thinner soldier approached Ludwig cautiously with a gun.

"Hey, stop pretending, brother. I've seen it. You're fine at all, right?" He tentatively kicked the person on the ground and waited for a long time, but there was no reaction.

Nothing really happened, right?

He felt a little unsure, so he bent down and was ready to feel the man's breath.

Waiting for this opportunity.

Ludwig suddenly opened his eyes, and when the soldier was squatting undefended, he grabbed him by the collar, threw him to the ground, and grabbed the gun in his hand.

The sudden change caused the guarding soldiers to panic. They quickly raised their guns and shouted sternly: "Don't move, put the guns down! Ludwig, you can't escape!"

"Bang——!" A loud noise pierced the silent sky.

Ludwig put the muzzle of the gun to his temple, shot himself cleanly, and slowly fell back in the horrified eyes of the soldiers.

His body fell heavily to the ground, and a large pool of blood quickly oozed from the position of his head.

Ludwig laughed weakly.

He would rather commit suicide now than hang his body on the gallows after his death, allowing others to spit on and insult him, and perhaps even be put down for onlookers to vent their anger at will.

What's more, his friend's lesson was still vivid in his mind. The process of being hanged was too painful, and he would never accept the hanging.

The power of life continued to disappear, Ludwig's breathing gradually became non-existent, and his eyes slowly lost their luster.

The last scene Ludwig recalled in his mind was his first meeting with Tanya many years ago.

At that time, he was free and uninhibited and loved freedom. He lived overseas all year round and traveled around all day long. He wanted to gain experience while he was young and see the scenery and all kinds of people in other countries.

On a sunny day, he went to the outskirts of the mountains and forests to sketch.

When I was looking for a sketching location with my sketch pad under my arm, I accidentally bumped into the girl picking wild fruits.

She was behind a tree, its branches half-hiding her face.

But he could still clearly see her curious and bright eyes and her naughty and cute freckles.

Seeing that he noticed her, the girl smiled shyly at him, like an elf in a fairy tale book who was about to fly away. She also held the fruit basket and was about to leave.

"Wait-" He took two steps forward and stretched out his arms to keep the girl.

"Sir, are you okay?" She stopped and looked back at him not far away.

"My...my name is Ludwig, what's yours?"

He said nervously, and tried his best to think about whether there was something wrong with his clothes today and whether it would give the other party a bad impression.

Thinking about it like this, I don't know how to let go of my hands.

"Me? My name is Tanya, Tanya Hughes." The girl looked at him with a smile.

Their beginning was so wonderful, but in the end they were destined to be together.

The world was still in peace at that time, and it would be a long time before the war raged. If the war had never happened, how could there be no possibility between them again?

Ludwig closed his eyes forever in reluctance.
