Father Claus's office and bedroom have been sealed, and all his belongings have been strictly preserved.
But Arthur knew that not only was Father Claus's pendant missing, but the more important notebook was also missing.
Sher walked to Arthur's side, "What should we do now?"
The deadline to solve the case already made him feel the pressure.
After Arthur thought for a moment, he asked: "Who discovered the body of Father Claus?"
Sher looked at Father Belmont standing in the distance, and then whispered: "Didn't the church say that we won't be allowed to intervene in this matter?"
"We won't investigate Father Claus's identity, but the case still needs to be clarified."
Seeing what he said, Sher shrugged helplessly, "Okay! You have the final say. I saw it when Irene and I were walking on the cliff this morning."
Arthur lit a cigarette and took a long drag, when he saw Vernon walking towards them from below.
Arthur muttered a few words in a low voice, and Schell couldn't help but frown while listening.
However, he already had absolute trust in Arthur, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and walked out of the church.
When they met Vernon, the two even said hello.
"Inspector Scheer, where is he going?"
Vernon walked up to Arthur and asked him.
Arthur sighed, "Isn't this because Father Claus was killed? So I asked him to go to the town to ask. It was a rare sunny day last night. You know, there are many children around here, and they will go there at night. On the beach, maybe they saw the murderer."
"Yes, maybe this is really possible."
Vernon nodded and complained again: "Who is so crazy that he killed two priests in a row? If this continues, I'm afraid my sergeant won't be able to work for long."
Arthur patted his shoulder comfortingly and asked again: "Have you found the doctor who moved away?"
"No, I have looked through the files and there is no such doctor as Miss Yirenai mentioned."
"Maybe she remembered it wrong!"
Arthur said slightly helplessly.
After a while, Sher came up with a child.
"Arthur, this kid saw a man who had a fight with Father Claus at the beach last night."
Arthur clapped his hands happily, "Then let Vernon summon the residents of the town and let this kid identify it."
"Where's Vernon? He was here just now."
Arthur looked around, and he didn't know when he was gone.
"Vernon might be back in town again! Then I'll take him around the town."
The child's name was Cruz, and Arthur dragged him around the town for a whole day.
It wasn't until night that he sent the little Cruze back home.
As night falls, everything in the world is submerged in darkness.
At this time, there was still a dark shadow, slowly lurking into the yard of Cruze's house. He carefully checked around and found no movement, and then carefully and tentatively pushed the doors and windows.
On the side of the house, he finally found an unclosed window. He took out a dagger, carefully pushed the window open, and then gently jumped into the house.
There was no sound in the dark room, which made the shadow immediately alert. It was impossible for a poor family like Little Cruze to have such an idle house.
The black shadow hurriedly raised the dagger, and then he felt an evil wind blowing towards his face, and a "bang" kick hit his chest.
Both sides yelled "Ouch" in pain at the same time, and the room was also lit by candlelight.
"Shell, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Sher was already squatting on the ground, covering his calf. He had just kicked the black shadow, and was also hit in the calf by the opponent's dagger.
But at this moment, the dark figure jumped out of the window again before Sher could take out his pistol.
Sher was so anxious that he wanted to chase him out, but Arthur hurriedly shouted: "Stop chasing him, let's go to his house to look for him."
It was pitch dark outside, and he didn't want anything to happen to Sher.
Sher was very upset at the moment, "This guy is really cunning. I didn't expect that he could escape like this."
"Now that we all know his identity, are you still worried that he can escape?"
Arthur comforted Scheer while examining his injuries.
Fortunately, it was just an unintentional scratch, not serious. Arthur simply bandaged him, and the two of them lit up torches and hurried on the night journey.
The two stopped in front of a house near the police station.
"Bang bang bang", Sher knocked on the door, but there was no response from the room.
"Is it possible that we left too fast and he hasn't come back yet?"
Arthur shook his head, "Although we are walking fast, he is more familiar with this place and will definitely arrive earlier than us. I think we should break the goal with force!"
Sher nodded, used all his strength, kicked open the door, and rushed into the house first.
Arthur took a torch and took a look inside. The very simple furnishings fit the image of the bachelor owner.
The two men continued to search each room. As expected, the prisoner did not come back, but they did not find anything useful here either.
"Could it be that we made a mistake?"
Sher couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
Arthur was very firm in his judgment. At this moment, there seemed to be a voice coming from the room behind.
"Help, someone is out there, please help me!"
The two of them had just checked the room when a cry for help suddenly came out.
Sher couldn't help but cursed, "What the hell!"
Arthur took his cane and paused on the ground, "It's not a ghost, it should be underground."
The two struggled to move the cabinet, and sure enough, an underground passage was revealed underneath. The two held torches and carefully walked down the stairs.
In the dark basement, the sound of rolling chains suddenly came.
"Who are you? Please help me, I am Pastor Allen!"
"What, you're Pastor Allen?"
This was far beyond Arthur's expectation.
Xie Er held the torch and shined it on the opponent's face. Although he had become very embarrassed, Xie Er quickly recognized his one eye.
"Pastor Allen, were you also arrested by Vernon?"
Sher asked as he unchained him.
"It's Sheriff Vernon. He invited me here the day before yesterday, and then he drugged the wine. When I woke up, he locked me here."
Arthur asked hesitantly: "Do you know why he arrested you?"
Pastor Allen seemed very excited at this moment, "He is a member of the Illuminati. He wanted to destroy the sacred objects, so he kidnapped me and wanted me to unlock the secrets of Roslin Church for him. But I really don't know, And even if I knew, I would not cooperate with the devil!”
