Vicente's eyes were fixed on Agnes, and he said after a long time: "Okay, since you don't want to talk about things about you, let's get straight to the point."

"You said that the reward was to tell you how I investigated the existence of the skin drum. I can tell you now."

Vicente rubbed his fingers and said in a dazed manner: "This news was indeed told to me by an insider, but her existence is quite special."

"What kind of special form?" Agnes asked with interest.

Vicente seemed to be awakened by Agnes' words. He sighed slightly and then said to Agnes: "Miss Boethia, she is a broken walking corpse."

The living corpse of a "prisoner"? Or a creature related to the "Corpse Collector" path? Agnes couldn't help but frown, waiting for Vicente's next words.

"I met her when I was trying to investigate some clues from the Silver Rose." Vicente's fingers trembled, as if he remembered something he didn't want to recall: "She was a tall man lying in the cargo hold. Behind the wooden box, I didn’t see her when I first entered the cargo compartment until she made a sound on her own.”

"To be honest, if her face wasn't stained with bloody eyes, she could almost be recognized as a broken gourd, bloody, as if the skin had been peeled off; the exposed palms were completely intertwined with pale bones, and it looked like It seemed as if it would break apart at any time; it would even make a sound like broken glass when she dragged her body to move, but when she spoke, it was the voice of a young woman."

"I was terrified and subconsciously wanted to run out of the cargo bay, but she was quick and agile and caught me before I ran out of the cargo bay."

"It's hard to say what she was thinking. She didn't kill me after she caught me, but asked me what I was going to do there."

"After learning about my purpose, she directly told me that there was something wrong with the leather drum sent by the Silver Rose. She even described the leather drum in detail..." Vicente's face gradually became confused. The narration gradually stopped, and he reached out to hold his forehead, as if he was beginning to remember something.

After about a minute or two, he couldn't help but frown.

"Strange, why can't I remember what the leather drum she described looks like."

Detective Poirot has been to church? It looks like Bodivia's Heart of Nature squad is pretty efficient. Agnes couldn't help but curl her lips.

"I guess it's a good thing you can't remember what the leather drum looks like," Agnes said.

"I don't think that zombie wanted to do a good deed by telling you about the existence of Skin Drum."

Vicente looked at Agnes with some thoughts in his eyes.

Agnes thought for a while and asked, "Have you told anyone in the church about the existence of this walking corpse?"

"I..." Vicente had some doubts on his face, and he shook his head after a long time.

Agnes couldn't help but frown.

"Why? Detective Poirot." Agnes asked seriously.

"I...I..." Vicente hesitated a bit as he spoke, and his face showed some confusion: "I don't know either."

"But you told the church about the existence of the leather drum, right?" Agnes asked again.

Vincent nodded.

What does this zombie want to do? Agnes couldn't help but frown more tightly. She conveyed the existence of the leather drum through Vicente, but did not let Vicente reveal his existence in front of the church. It seemed that she did not want to expose herself, but Vicente revealed her existence in front of him. What did this mean?

And she also has the ability to prevent Vicente from speaking about himself in front of the church. How did she do it? Is it my own ability? Or through sealed objects?

Agnes couldn't figure out the reason behind this for a while, so she asked instead: "Mr. Vicente, did you go to church after saying goodbye to me this morning?"

Vincent nodded, hesitated, and asked, "I lost my memory of the appearance of the leather drum. Is it because of the church?"

"Maybe," Agnes shrugged and said, "If it was really the church that did it, they should just want to protect you."

"Including making me forget some things that I should have remembered?" Vicente asked, looking closely at Agnes.

"That's true if it's them." Agnes said with a smile.

"It seems that the church is hiding a lot of things." Vicente said with certainty.

Agnes looked out the window at the sparsely populated streets and said, "It is necessary to conceal some things."

"Really?" Vicente raised his eyebrows, with a hint of curiosity in his tone, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Agnes turned her head, looked at Vicente, and asked: "Mr. Detective, what do you think the Extraordinary is?"

"Superhuman strength? Or weird means?"

Vicente frowned and said nothing.

"Suppress your curiosity, Mr. Poirot. Most of those strange and extraordinary powers bring misfortune."

"It seems that Miss Boethia has her own unique understanding of the existence of extraordinary people?" Vicent asked with interest.

"It's not that my understanding is unique." Agnes said with a smile on her face, but her expression still looked a little cold for no reason. She didn't wait for Vicente to speak, and directly changed the subject: "Vicente Mr. Te, how did you inform the church before?"

...

"At present, it seems that Bonnard should have transported the leather drum mentioned by Mr. Poirot through the Silver Rose, and the leather drum should be a dangerous sealed object, probably reaching 'Level 2' or even Level 1', will continue to cause the people around him to undergo xenomorphic transformations. For the purpose of concealing the items he is transporting, or to cover up the mutations in these crew members, Bonnard, or the people behind him People chose to silence these crew members.

"The three deceased in the bombing...are they really Bonnar, his assistant, and his housekeeper?" Aiden said.

Wentz shrugged and said: "Joy has divined and it is indeed the three of them, but according to the information we have received, it is likely that they had been murdered before that. The bombing was probably to cover up something."

"So we still have to investigate the real cause of their death?" Aiden asked.

"More than that, our real focus is to investigate the purpose of this explosion?" Wentz turned around and said.

"Let's take a look at their bodies first, and then call Joey and the others to take a look at Newlin Manor."
