She asked in a daze, her outstretched hand quickly sweeping across the crowd, then pointing at the guards, at the officials, and finally at the carriage carrying the corpse.

"Why should he apologize?"

"Who is he apologizing to?"

And the next moment, she ran towards the carriage. The guards were about to stop her, but Wolfgang stopped them.

Wolfgang looked at the crazy woman with a complicated expression. He felt that all the strength in his body had been drained and he felt deeply helpless.

Hannah rushed to the front of the carriage and frantically opened the body bags. Every time she opened a body bag, she spat viciously at the corpse inside.

No one knows whether she is a lunatic at this moment, or just a normal person venting her anger.

Wolfgang sighed, knowing that he couldn't just leave it like this, so he called back the guards and stepped forward himself, trying to control Hannah and arrange for someone to send her home.

But as soon as she reached the carriage, Hannah somehow found the strength to drag a body bag off the carriage.

When the body bag fell to the ground, the bag was torn open and the corpse fell out.

It was von Palen's corpse, which had begun to stiffen. When his horrific face was exposed to people's view, some of the people nearby even screamed.

Previously, they were too far away from the execution platform, so although it looked horrible from a distance, at least they had already prepared themselves. Now, at a distance of less than a few dozen meters, they suddenly saw the body fall out of the body bag, which made them feel terrified.

However, Hannah was not frightened at all, because she was already punching and kicking the corpse, cursing inaudibly.

When Wolfgang saw this scene, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm:

"What's your name? Where is your home? I'll arrange for someone to take you back."

"He's already dead, you don't have to..."

However, before she could finish her words, Hannah suddenly turned her head, drooling from the corners of her mouth, her face extremely ferocious, and she screamed at Wolfgang again:

"Are you defending this murderer?!"

The moment the scream came, Wolfgang unconsciously took half a step back. He looked at Hannah with a stiff face and suddenly felt that this woman didn't seem crazy.

"Let her go!"

"Let her go!"

At this time, the people who did not come forward raised their fists and shouted, as if they had regarded Hannah as their representative.

This poor woman lost all her loved ones. People sympathized with her because what happened to her was also experienced by most of the people present. They all had relatives who died in this cruel war.

The shouts grew louder and louder, so loud that the guards didn't even dare to shout to stop them. It seemed that it only took one person to commit a violent act for the tragedy that happened last time to happen again.

Then the guards, including the officials, all looked at Wolfgang, as if telling him with their eyes:

"Forget it, just leave the body to these people... let them vent their anger..."

Wolfgang sensed the meaning behind these looks, but he could not accept that von Palen's body would be mutilated again, so he still held Hannah's arm and said to her in an almost pleading tone:

"He has paid for it with his life."

"This war is over."

"Go back...Please go back..."

But when these words fell, Hannah's originally ferocious face suddenly became calm. She turned around like a normal person and looked at Wolfgang face to face.

Wolfgang thought he had persuaded her, and said, "Everything is over. Those who should be punished have been punished. We..."

But the next moment.

Hannah suddenly reached out and pushed Wolfgang in the chest, causing Wolfgang to take several steps back.

After pushing Wolfgang away, Hannah pointed at Wolfgang's stiff face and said in an extremely calm and even indifferent tone:

“When the war is over, can my family come back?”

Wolfgang could not answer and remained silent.

Hannah walked forward and repeated:

“When the war is over, can my family come back?”

This made Wolfgang's body stiffen, and he avoided looking directly into Hannah's eyes.

And among the crowd, the shouting had subsided, replaced by endless sobbing.

Just as Hannah said, the war is over, but can the family members who died in it come back?

The elderly lost their sons, the newlyweds lost their husbands, and the babies lost their fathers.

Perhaps the war will end one day, but the dead will never return, and the survivors will never be reunited.

The sobbing became louder and louder. Some people had already fallen to their knees, wailing bitterly. If their hearts were previously filled with grief and anger, now there was only sorrow that penetrated deep into their bones.

Seeing this scene, the officials present could not help but lower their heads and sigh in their hearts.

Tears fell again on Hannah's cold face, and she seemed no longer crazy.

She may have regained consciousness briefly, but it was this consciousness that made her even more sad.

She rushed to Wolfgang, beat on his chest, and cried:

"My husband trusted you, so you asked him to return to the army, and he went back immediately. You said you needed more weapons, so my brother went to work in a military factory and didn't come home for two years."

"My family trusted you, and look what you did."

Hearing this, Wolfgang, with a sad face, reached out and tried to hug Hannah and comfort her.

But Hannah drew back suddenly, pointing her finger at him and crying:

"Don't touch me! There's blood on your hands. You are all murderers!"

"You have betrayed our trust!"

When these words came out, Wolfgang felt as if he was pierced by thousands of sharp blades. The strong sense of guilt made it difficult for him to breathe and made him shaky.

The trial against von Paalen had ended in the Imperial Castle, and today he was hanged in front of everyone, making a tiny payment with his life.

But now, this is the judgment of the people, the millions of people who have suffered greatly from the war.

At this moment, the grieving people cannot give any accusations, but their cries are already the most powerful testimony.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, or even more cries, like a huge wave, swept over all the senior government officials present.

In the face of this public trial by the people, the defendants looked ashamed, ashamed to raise their heads, and remained silent, because they could not make any rebuttal to the testimonies.

It was at this time.

There was a "bang" sound.

Wolfgang bent his knees and knelt heavily on the ground.

When von Paaren was hanged, he closed his eyes and resisted the urge to cry, but at this moment, when the people were accusing him with their tears, he could no longer suppress the guilt and grief that filled his heart.

He fell to his knees in front of Hannah, crying uncontrollably.

"sorry Sorry....."

"sorry......"

Like all murderers who willingly plead guilty and admit their mistakes in front of the victim's family, Wolfgang, crying bitterly, could only say sorry over and over again.

Other officials also knelt down and admitted their mistakes to the people.

"Who are you apologizing to, sir?"

"Why are you apologizing?"

Hannah, who was sober just now, seemed to have gone crazy again. She was talking nonsense again and even tilted her head and grinned at Wolfgang.

But when she finished these two sentences, she walked away without looking at Wolfgang or von Paalen's body, as if he no longer cared.

She just waved her arms and walked aimlessly around the huge Saint-Marie Square like a madman, grabbing someone from time to time and asking:

"Sir, have you seen my sister? Her name is Botta..."

At this moment, the people who had gathered here began to leave spontaneously, as if they no longer needed to vent their anger on the corpse.

Wolfgang, who was still kneeling on the ground, looked at Hannah with tears on his face as she kept pulling people to ask questions, then turned to look at the people who were leaving.

Then he fell to the ground and burst into tears in grief.

The trial by the people has ended, and Wolfgang, who has pleaded guilty, has understood what awaits him and everyone in the new government.

It will all be a long and arduous life sentence.
