Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 466 43. The third believer
Chapter 466 Forty-three. The third believer
Murder, guilty.
The laws of this world remain at a fairly primitive level - wrapped in a light called civilization. Its usefulness is more to maintain upper class status than justice.
If this man saved not his own daughter but a nobleman, even if he killed a few gangsters, with the nobleman on his side, he could easily wash away the fact of the murder. Not only is he innocent, but if the nobleman is benevolent enough, he will also receive a large amount of money.
But unfortunately, he only saved his own daughter.
No matter what the purpose of this man, he violated the law, at most, the punishment will be reduced by a part because the opposite is a gangster, and another part of the punishment will be reduced because of the sympathy of the judge and the jury.
On the way to the church, the man washed his hands and the blood on his face in the pond, and then smeared the blood on his clothes with mud. Then he sat in front of the confession room and waited in fear for the Lord's judgment.
The trembling body represents the man who dare not think about what will happen to his underage daughter after he was hanged for murder.
Even in foster care with relatives, it is difficult for men to guarantee that those poor relatives will take good care of their daughters.
Hearing the man's confession, Lu Li really had the idea of letting him turn himself in.
He raised his black eyes slightly, and Lu Li looked at the proverb-like content on the hollow wooden wall: [Only the truth can win people's hearts]
The truth...
Lu Li picked up the quill and wrote.
"I can help you, but before everything else, I want to know if you're repenting for the sins you've committed, or just fearing...the cost of sin..."
The man whispered the content on the paper, the shaking of his palm was transmitted to the paper, and a lost murmur like a lost lamb: "I...I don't know..."
He is not sure, but it means that there is still salvation.
【tell me your name】
Lu Li wrote, hand out the wet paper through the wide hole.
"Arthur Green Pierce, Arthur is the given name I was given by the priest."
【Green, you have committed sins, but everything has a reason. The fault is not entirely your fault, now you have a chance to repent and save your fallen self]
Lu Li thought about what kind of words the church usually uses to fool those believers, and then wrote similar words on paper.
The rough and powerful hands outside the wide hole gradually stopped shaking, and Green Pierce implored: "Lord, please tell me what to do..."
【Do you know a lady named Olivia Kiken and a Viscount named Reeves】
Fortunately, the paper on which the above content was written was not rejected by the test, and the wide hole was successfully passed out and caught by Green Pierce.
"Olivia...I don't know her, but I know Viscount Reeves, and he lives in this Tower Windy City."
Tower Windy City.
Lu Li wrote down the name of the town and wrote: [Find Viscount Reeves, Olivia will find him soon, find her, save her, help her before she is killed by Viscount Reeves' carriage , your salvation lies in her]
Tragedy may have happened, but always try. This could give Green Pierce a reasonable "truth" to do, and perhaps save a poor man.
But just in case, the moment he handed out the paper, Lu Li wrote down a new basis of content.
【Remember, don’t get caught by the police until you help her. If the tragedy has already happened... to arrange the next thing, such as goodbye]
"I remember the proverbs of the Lord."
Green Pierce left, the footsteps gradually disappearing in his ears.
Like the previous floor, the scene changed, the time in the church accelerated, and was broken by a figure who broke into the church, returning to normal.
That silhouette did not go to the confessional room on the edge. In the church in the sunset and dusk when the organ no longer sounded, the slender silhouette walked past the rows of seats and stopped in the front row where Lu Li could not see it.
The test failed to "tell" Lu Li Green Pierce's ending through the mouth of an outsider, only the sound of reverently whispered chanting.
Over time, the chanting whispers were mixed with the faint sob of a girl.
Another figure walked over the bench and seemed to stop beside the girl, and then an old voice asked in a soft voice: "Child, tell me what happened."
"Father, my father died..."
Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly in the confession room.
He already knew how things ended.
"Arthur? What's wrong with him..." The priest said Green Pierce's Christian name in surprise.
"I was bullied by a group of thugs, my father rushed over and killed them, he escaped, but was caught by the thugs, and then...then..."
choked voices replaced the unspeakable sad words.
"Good boy...it's all right...everything will be fine."
"Woooooo...he...he was killed by those bastards...in front of everyone...how could they do that..."
"The wicked will be punished, Arthur has returned to the embrace of the Lord, don't feel too sorry for him..."
Lu Li quietly listened to his daughter's grief and the priest's comfort until they left the empty church.
woo woo - woo woo -
Lu Li's eyes moved slightly, looking towards the direction from which the voice came.
Two hazy figures appeared on the hollowed-out wooden wall. They were sweeping the ground and whispering in the spacious church.
"Have you heard? Olivia was killed by Viscount Reeves' carriage..." a voice said.
"Who is Olivia?" another voice asked.
This scene has happened before.
Lu Li's efforts only added an episode to the situation, but nothing has changed.
Silently listened to Sister Sweeping's speech, and the curtain of the confession room came to a close.
The second test is over, and it's still a bad ending.
Lu Li picked up the oil lamp emitting the only light source, and pushed open the wooden door behind him.
As imagined, the walls and steps have deteriorated, and the edges and corners of the steps have completely disappeared, like stone steps that have not been repaired for decades. The pitted walls are dull, weak, revealing the truth behind the walls.
That is a boundless abyss that is full of richness and despair in one's heart.
If the next level still doesn't end well, this space will get even worse.
At that time, the boundless abyss that has been blocked will appear in front of Lu Li without any cover.
Holding the oil lamp, Lu Li stepped on the heavily weathered stone steps without a word, and came to the carved wooden door on the third floor.
The wooden door was opened, and the warm afternoon sunlight in the church and the echoing sound of the organ seemed to make people forget the horror outside the door.
Luli's eyes swept across the motto on the hollow wooden wall.
Those are two new words.
【The difference between the wise and the mediocrity is that the former knows what to do and what not to do, while the latter does not know]
【Acknowledging your own incompetence is more painful than death】
