Uriel always feels a headache when it comes to these undercurrents of conspiracy. It's not that he doesn't understand the cunning and planning involved, it's just that compared to the battle of wits and courage with enemies like Lemons or Aurora, exploring the shadowy struggle between Hobson and Dunbar Fielding is really exciting. Unpleasant... The last time Uriel felt this way was when he was thinking about the relationship between necromancers and nobles in Four Leaf City. When the incident came to an end, he felt physically and mentally exhausted the entire journey to Whinivales.
"So, it was Hobson's idea to dispose of Bowman's body?" the apprentice said. "Not only did he lose his money-making job, he was also hunted by the Whistle Gang. In this case, he wanted to take revenge on the vampire. It's also reasonable. Just...hanging the mummy in the church?" He couldn't find the words to describe this strange behavior.
"How stupid," Agatha commented. "Andrew Furner wanted to cover up the truth, and he found a particularly unreliable partner. He certainly didn't expect you to throw a body into a church to frame a vampire! And the attempted murder, Mr. Hobson , I’m afraid you don’t know that the clergy of the church have countless ways to find the whereabouts of heretics, right? They have long been targeting you. Father Fielding’s sinful business was exposed to the bishop. If he had to guard the forbidden area of the headquarters, he might not be able to He will personally bring back Fielding's head. The Church Crusaders are not the Whistle Gang, and it seems our great conspirator didn't realize the difference between the two."
The gambler said hoarsely: "No matter what, I'm going to make Gardner pay the price."
Even at the cost of the lives of your family who love you? Uriel didn't ask. To Hobson, family meant nothing. It's impossible for me to understand how this kind of person thinks.
"Andrew thought everything was fine, and that Bowman's disappearance would serve as a warning to the gang. When he saw the report of the church case in the newspaper, I really don't know how he felt." Agatha said, "Bertha died the next day. She was the last person to see Lady Bertha. "But Mrs. Verner acted like she had just heard the news. I didn't tell her at all that it was Bowman... She talked about feeling guilty about someone. Not Andrew. Not Gunther. She said 'her,' which was A woman."
"It's the daughter she sent away." The apprentice understood. Bertha would certainly not know the whereabouts of the children in the convent. She would have thought that the little daughter who was dedicated would go to heaven, and she killed Bowman and would never be reunited with her children again. This double blow to faith and soul drove Bertha to a dead end...
His thinking suddenly went astray. What happened to Pod's mother after I left the cemetery that day? Has she returned to her family? Did she shed tears at night for her dead eldest son? Dead men's fingers sprouted from the silver lilies. The pure angel returns to heaven. He thought of dryads and stone tablets. Is there really a kingdom of heaven?
All questions have no answers.
The leaves of the wild rose in the vase were broken off, and Uriel tore off the whole broken part and threw it into the trash can. He realized that he couldn't stay here for a second, so he pushed the door open and walked out. In the dim light of the evening, Uriel relied on the sign and walked towards the stairs deep in the corridor. The stone steps were so steep that he felt like he was heading towards an unfathomable hell. Agatha's voice seemed to be heard behind him, telling the sad truth.
…
"Maybe she felt the same way." The detective sighed. "She learned that the deceased had appeared in the church, and her excitement accelerated the effect of the poison. Bertha's death was not because she couldn't stand Andrew, but she was also ashamed of her husband." She He snorted, "I have said before that among these dead people, only the girl deserves sympathy. It doesn't matter whether she is a vampire or a human, it doesn't matter whether she is registered or not. The laws of the Affairs Department are like antiques from hundreds of years ago, trying to make Bloom Knott's development went backwards."
Everyone involved in the scene already knew the ending: Andrew worked hard to cover up Bowman's death, and Hobson went into hiding under the pursuit of the church. The former hates vampires as much as a gambler, so much so that he cruelly sends innocent vampire children into the tiger's mouth. The latter hid directly in the Public Security Bureau in order to survive. But he never imagined that they would meet again in the dungeon a few hours later. In any case, all the mysteries have been revealed now, and the story should come to an end.
"Is this the end?" Picol couldn't help but blurt out.
Wittek didn't feel relaxed either. "Bowman was killed by Bertha, and Dunbar Fielding died in the purge within the church. Bertha Verner committed suicide and passed away. The vampire girl was probably the 'goods' that Father Fielding prepared to send away, and was kidnapped by Andrew. , and finally died tragically at the hands of Gardner. It seems that the case is indeed over." He scratched his bald head, "But I'm still not happy."
Who else is happy? Everyone who knew the whole story remained silent. The only one who stayed out of the matter, Bai Zhizhi, seemed to have no interest in it.
"You think so because Father Fielding didn't get people's criticism? Don't be stupid, the church can't let such a scandal spread. The case will be completed quietly, and the believers will get an answer they approve of... Having said that, Even if the news is made public, these fanatics still have a hard time believing it or not." Miss Detective stretched her body. "I'll inform Sheriff Johnny that my job is done in three days, but he still won't get tomorrow's Shrove Day off - the Sheriff's Department needs to clean up all the Sauvero potions in Dead End Alley. Gods are here Come on, how did this thing become popular?”
Then, she looked at the gambler: "Do you have anything else to add?"
Hobson looked up at the detective, confusion in his eyes. "You know everything." He murmured, "Are you the astrologer of the tower? Or are you the ghost that has been following us?" The shackles on his body flashed with anger at a high frequency. "There are some things that even that old guy Andrew doesn't know! He doesn't understand... My secrets, everyone's secrets, you know everything? This is absolutely impossible."
"It seems there is none." Agatha tilted her head.
She walked over and closed the door gently. The prisoners in the interrogation room suddenly became furious and roared in a small space.
"He asked what was in my heart." Picol couldn't help but say. The young Sheriff was almost a fan of Agatha's. "How did you guess Hobson's plans, sir?"
"I'm still surprised, why can't you guess his plan?"
The detective's answer was rather 'modest', but Picol took it for granted. He was still amazed by the twists and turns. "Hobson just came to the Sheriff's Department to escape pursuit, but who would have thought that he was a killer who was afraid of the church? To be honest, I don't think the church should be involved at all - not as a simple victim."
"Oh, it's not just me."
"It's Uriel." Witek Shazo said, "He has always felt that there is something wrong with the church. Uriel is a priest of Gaia, and Father Fielding's incident must have hit him hard." This big guy also said He noticed the apprentice's silence very carefully.
"I think it's not just a blow." Halfway through the messenger's words, no one dared to speak. He showed little sympathy for his apprentice. "Is there anything you haven't said yet? Time is very tight."
"The previous question..."
"...The way Bertha killed Bowman? It's nothing worth wasting time." Agatha turned her eyes to her subordinates, passing by the abrupt armor on the young man's shoulders. "We all know the effect of the alchemy potion Sauvero. Although the improved version will not kill people, there will definitely be a price for forcing the soul to be activated. Fire mutations are not uncommon in Binya Ao... I think her He has turned into a demon." She said softly, "The power of a demon is far beyond that of ordinary people, and it is easy to kill a gangster. I'm afraid Bertha's psychological pressure is also caused by this."
"Devil?!" Picol was startled and did not notice that Witke's expression was strange. His heart suddenly sank, "So anyone who has ever smoked -"
"No, Bertha's situation is mostly a low-probability incident, but even so, things involving unknown people cannot be ignored." The detective lady seemed a little worried, "The Public Security Bureau needs to mobilize a large number of manpower to clean up dead-end alleys, and the aftermath of the incident will not be ignored. Professionals are needed to eliminate the bait..." She glanced secretly at the door, where a 'professional' was standing.
"In the past two days, there will be fewer heads under the church's torture knife." The messenger stated.
Demon hunters rarely capture anyone alive when dealing with demons. If Shiro brings a mysterious hunter of this level into action, Blumnot will soon have no demons to kill.
Agatha was unaware of the discussions at the Destiny Gathering, and the blood-red prophecy was kept strictly confidential. But even so, she could still detect Bai Zhishi's unusual attitude. The keen detective realized that something was going on. Blumnot will cause a stir, and the first force to push this wave may be the Sheriff's Department's sweep operation.
"The case is solved, but the story is not over yet."
"What does this mean, sir?"
Even if you tell me, you don’t understand. "Nothing. Where did our friend Uriel go?" She turned around and looked around, and suddenly her face turned from sunny to gloomy. "This is no place for running around!"
The messenger had a different opinion. "You'd better leave him alone."
"He may not be happy to be alone," the detective said. They all knew that Uriel was going to meet Andrew Furner, the maintenance man, Lady Bertha's husband. The dungeon of the Public Security Bureau is obviously not one that can be visited casually, but Agatha remembered the emblem of the sky that the White Envoy gave to Uriel when she entered, and suddenly felt that they had planned it. "Why, for God's sake, doesn't everyone want to talk to me in advance?" she complained.
