Arthur didn't think this was a good thing, "Teacher, this extract is not an ordinary drug."
"Drugs? Why do you say that?"
Professor Bell asked very puzzledly.
"Because it's more addictive than opium, and it's the kind that you can't quit."
"That's it! No wonder Holly didn't tell me or publish a paper. Arthur, you see, this is the conscience of scientists!"
Arthur couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice, "Yes! Teacher, you are right."
Professor Bell obviously hadn't grasped the key points he raised, so he couldn't help but explain further: "This drug is incredibly profitable, and with its level of addiction, it can almost control the entire world."
Only then did Professor Bell truly feel the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly asked: "What about this formula now?"
"It is in the hands of Holly's daughter. You can rest assured that she will not spread this thing."
Professor Bell nodded, but looking like that, he still felt uneasy.
And Arthur continued: "My suspicion is that teacher, your research on poppies may have been noticed by some people, so they kidnapped your daughter Alex and they did not extort money from you. I think they In fact, I just want your recipe.”
Professor Bell was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "But I'm not studying drugs?"
"Maybe it was the interaction between you and Holly that attracted the attention of those people. But after kidnapping Alex, but suddenly losing contact, there are only two possibilities. One is that they killed Alex unintentionally Kesi, it makes it impossible to trade with you, but with such a huge benefit, these people will definitely come to you later, but it seems that this speculation is no longer valid. There is also a speculation that they know the formula of the drug, so they also I don’t need to deal with you anymore.”
"Doesn't that mean Alex will be killed by them?"
Professor Bell finally had a bright idea this time.
Arthur hurriedly comforted Professor Bell, "Teacher, don't worry, there are still some strange things about this case. Because this formula has not been circulated by Professor Holly, and there is no such drug for sale on the market now, so Your daughter should still be safe, but precisely because of this, I can’t figure out why these people suddenly stopped contacting you?”
At this time, Professor Bell thought of a possibility and couldn't help but said slowly: "When Alex was very young, she was willing to study these plants like me. In fact, she knew the formula herself."
At this time, Arthur completely understood, "So they asked Alex about the formula you researched, but unfortunately it was not the kind of drug developed by Professor Holly, so these people thought it was him. It’s a misunderstanding, but Alex has already seen their appearance, so she can’t be let back.”
"It seems that things are basically like this, but what has become of her now?"
At this point, Arthur couldn't help it anymore and said, "Teacher, someone who is familiar with you must know this information."
Professor Bell looked at Arthur, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Alex's case has been proven to be related to Scotland Yard, and the person directly related to Scotland Yard at the University of Edinburgh is Director Matthew Charteris. Teacher, you'd better recall that during that time, this Does the director visit you often?"
Professor Bell was still surprised when he heard Matthew Charteris's name.
It's not that he doesn't believe that Matthew Charteris will harm him. Professor Bell knows very well about the Charteris family. This is a family that will do anything for profit.
Because when he was young, he once fell in love with a woman from the Charteris family, but later because he was not a nobleman, the two did not get together, and the woman has not married until now.
Therefore, Professor Bell has very complicated feelings about the Charteris family.
"Matthew Charteris was not a professor of pharmacology at that time, so he often came to ask me questions about drugs."
When Professor Bell said this, Arthur was sure that Matthew Charteris was involved.
But now there are no witnesses or physical evidence, so it is impossible to sue him.
So Arthur had to remind Professor Bell: "Teacher's case may be involved in a bigger case later. So you'd better not mess with him yet. Wait until I find clues at Scotland Yard. It’s time for us to remove this cancer.”
Professor Bell is more stable than Arthur thought, but he is just more worried about his safety.
So I couldn't help but advise: "I know the result now, and I am already very satisfied. Since this matter is so dangerous, you'd better not get into it too deep."
Arthur only nodded to reassure the teacher that there were two lives of the Harlem and Charteris families inside, and even if Arthur wanted to give up, it would not be that easy.
That night he stayed at the teacher's house, and Professor Bell planned many life routes for him.
But what attracted Arthur the most was the coroner's profession.
The next day, Arthur got on the carriage very early and arrived at St. Giles Cathedral. The place changed from the deserted state a few months ago and could be called a bustling place.
If this were a shop, even Queen Victoria would definitely be jealous.
However, although the church does not do business, it is definitely more profitable than the shops.
Arthur walked into the church and met Father Belmont.
"Father, I have come to ask you a theological question again."
Belmont immediately raised his hand. This was what Arthur appreciated so much. He would never pretend to understand something he didn't understand, even if this knowledge was something he should know.
"Arthur, I can't help you with this. If you want to learn about theology, I recommend you."
After saying this, Father Belmont thought for a long time. Last time he recommended Arthur to Rosslyn Church, but unexpectedly many people died there.
Seeing that he was still thinking hard, Arthur interrupted: "This question is very simple. I think you will know it."
"I think it's best for you not to be so optimistic!"
Arthur......
"I want to ask you this time, was Judas punished for his betrayal?"
This question is indeed very easy because it is written in the New Testament of the Bible.
"Kid, don't you even have a Bible?"
Arthur.....
"Of course I do, but I want to know more details from you."
"That's it!" Professor Belmont spread his hands, "Then there's nothing I can do, because we should know the same amount."
Arthur was speechless, but then Father Baymont suddenly said: "But I have an older New Testament here. If you are willing to read it, I will find someone to bring it to you."
Arthur also felt that Father Belmont was unreliable, and it would be better to check the book in person.
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"
After a while, two priests were seen walking into the office carrying huge books.
Arthur blew away the dust on it, touched the ancient parchment, and couldn't help but joked: "Could this be the one written by Paul?"
Father Belmont had not read it either, and said with a smile: "You will know if you open it and take a look. If it is in Hebrew, then maybe it is!"
Arthur turned over the pages of the book. Fortunately, the records were in Latin, so Arthur couldn't understand them either.
But this time Father Belmont finally came into play, "I have no problem with Latin. Since you are looking for the part about Judas betraying Jesus, we should turn to Matthew Chapter 26."
Father Belmont took it upon himself to help Arthur rummage.
"Look, it's right here."
Arthur looked at the Gospel of Matthew and was immediately attracted by it, because not only was the text recorded here, but there were also pictures beside it.
Among them was a picture of Judas holding the reward for betraying Jesus, which was 30 silver coins. At this time, Judas had already regretted it, so many silver coins fell to the ground.
But there are three very strange silver coins among them, because what is engraved on them is the formation on the Hell Rubik's Cube.
Arthur pointed to the picture and asked Father Belmont, "Please help me see what the images of these three silver coins are."
Father Belmont only took one look and then began to shake his head, "Who knows this, but it is said that what Judas received at that time was the reward from the priests. It was probably the silver coins specially used by the priests at that time!"
"No! Look, these three silver coins are different from the others."
"Is there such a thing?"
Belmont took a look and saw that there was indeed a big difference. He couldn't help but murmured: "I didn't expect these painters to be quite serious. They even painted this small difference."
Seeing Father Belmont's faith in God being so superficial and careless, Arthur couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"I really know this. It is said that Jesus already knew that Judas had betrayed him at the last supper, but in order for Judas to repent, he gave him three opportunities. The first opportunity was for God to wash his feet. The second opportunity was to dip the bread for him to eat, and the third opportunity was to kiss him. Judas did not repent at these three opportunities, so later generations will call Judas a greedy and irredeemable person. At the same time, he used three coins Coins, to commemorate the mercy of Jesus.”
After hearing this, Arthur couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly: "It's him!"
The Hell Rubik's Cube they obtained was taken out from under the statue's feet.
It just confirms the first mercy of Jesus. I don’t know whether the one I got from Meyer Child is the second mercy or the third mercy.
"Father, the second chance you mentioned, dipping bread, what kind of food is it?"
Father Belmont...
"Okay! Then what do you mean by the third chance and kiss?"
Father Belmont...
"You don't even know, do you?"
Father Belmont was speechless for a while, "This book records events in the first century AD. How could I know the eating habits of people at that time!"
