Chapter 729 Hope and Despair (32)
After seeing Fumu Yin’s body, Inuyama Heita and Qian Xiaoyi walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department and came outside.
"Companion? Mr. Fushigi's companion?" Heita Inuyama asked in confusion: "You mean... the one who helped him, the traitor who hoped to teach? Mr. Fushigi handed the demon sword to that person and asked him to He escaped?"
"I guess so," Qian Xiaoyi said.
Heita Inuyama raised another question: "Then who is fighting Mr. Fushigi?"
"Don't there often be plots like that in detective novels?" Qian Xiaoyi said: "Often the person who rushes to the deceased the fastest is the murderer."
Because I have been called a detective all the time. , so Qian Xiaoyi finally read two detective novels when he had nothing to do.
"Is it that priest? Mr. Fushigi's targets are all the top leaders of the Hope Sect, so...that priest may be one of them?" Heita Inuyama said in surprise: "He is not a spiritual exterminator. Even a priest would believe in a cult? "
"It may just be cooperation, and true religious people are much better at starting a cult than ordinary people." Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand: "Me too. It's just speculation without any substantial evidence, but if my guess is correct, as long as we can find the knife, all the mysteries will be solved."
"If this is true, then why..." Heita Inuyama thought: "Did Mr. Fushigi's companions convey this information to us? In that case, if Mr. Fushiki wants revenge, the only one he can rely on is the Soul Exterminator Alliance, right?"
"Who knows." Qian Xiaoyi said: "Either the other party wants to use this information as a bargaining chip. After all, he is a mole, and he will definitely not make a move without some benefit. Or... there may be some concerns, such as We previously speculated that the priest might be the murderer, and he was also a spiritualist, so he witnessed The mysterious man in charge had doubts about the alliance and decided to wait and see for a while. "
Inuyama Heita calmed down. Now that he has experienced real death, he finally sees the bloody reality. An organization like the Hope Teaching is not something that can be defeated by just one person like in the comics.
Recalling Heita Inuyama who wanted to imitate Fushigi Yin and ran out to seek revenge alone, he felt a little ashamed of his naivety. He asked, "Then how should we find that person?"
Qian Xiaoyi replied: "There is no rush in this matter. I have already said it. Everything just happened. It's my guess. There is no evidence to prove the accuracy of these inferences. If we directly conclude without evidence, it is no different from conjecture, so we will take the initiative to collect evidence."
"Collect. Evidence? "Heita Inuyama asked: "What to do?"
"The first thing is to confirm the identity of Fu Muyin's companion." Qian Xiaoyi said: "We don't have to worry about this. The Hope Sect is definitely looking for him, so in order to prevent us from believing him, I'm afraid there will be someone soon." The information about the real culprit who killed Fushigi Yin was spread. "
Inuyama Heita nodded: "Not only are we looking for him, but also the Hope Sect, so the other party will definitely release information to interfere with our sight. , We can’t believe what that person said, and then what?”
“Then we will investigate the priest,” Qian Xiaoyi said: “As to why Fu Muyin ran near that church, what was his purpose. It’s the priest, and how Fushigiin found out about the priest’s secret. We need to figure out these issues.”
Inuyama Heita was a little worried: “Are we going to go to the church to investigate? Isn’t this like a warning?” It's the same as telling the priest directly, 'I'm doubting you'."
"So of course we can't appear in front of him directly. We need to find an ordinary person who will not be suspected." Qian Xiaoyi said: "I. I thought of a good candidate.”
"Who?" Inuyama Heita couldn't imagine the identity of this candidate.
..."Let me go to that church? Okay." In the blues bar, Mike wore round sunglasses and stood behind the bar wiping the glass. Even if he was wearing a bartender's uniform, his muscles could not cover.
Mike, the black man who works as a bartender in Maria’s bar, is Qian Xiaoyi’s fitness instructor and a devout believer. Among the people Qian Xiaoyi knows, there is no one better than him. more suitable for this task.
Maria had some doubts. He looked at Qian Xiaoyi and asked: "But, Xiaoyi, if you say so, wouldn't it be a bit dangerous there? After all, it is the secret stronghold of the cultists. If Mike goes alone, what if he is discovered and attacked?”
Qian Xiaoyi looked at Mike's sturdy figure and thought unscrupulously: Being attacked? He looks like this, he can definitely fight his way out.
But it was just a thought, Qian Xiaoyi explained: "Maria, you are overthinking. I didn't ask Mike to be an agent and steal some confidential files. I just let him have access to them. It’s just a visit to get some information about the believers there. There’s no need to do anything dangerous. And he happens to be a believer, so it’s completely reasonable to go to the church to worship.”
“Ms. Maria, I have no problem here. "Mike said in strange Japanese with an accent: "Actually, I have also heard of Father Kanano's name. He has a good reputation in my circle of parishioners. Many of my friends have gone to worship there. If he If it’s really a disguised heresy, I can remind my friends.”
Mike’s accent was deliberately retained. According to Maria, it would make him more [American]. The bartender's style, those who come to the bar to get drunk like this kind of high-end style.
Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Then it's up to you. You don't need to do anything extraordinary. The main thing is to understand the basic information of the church through communication with other believers."
"No problem." Mike grinned, showing a pair of shining white teeth: "Speaking of which, that church seems to be called St. Mary's Church. The name of the Virgin is the same as Lady Mary. Just like that, I There is a reason to pay a visit. If that priest is really a heretic, I will never allow him to continue to use this name."
"Oh, you are really annoying~Mike~" Ma. Leah said shyly.
Mike said that he would go to St. Mary's Church to worship this Sunday to get to know the people there and the priest.
Due to family reasons, he has been a believer since he was a child, is familiar with scriptures, and is a foreigner. Although he is a little conspicuous, it is not inappropriate for him to choose a suitable time to visit the church, even if it is the priest. , I guess I can’t find any fault, right?
After deciding on the candidate to spy on, Qian Xiaoyi returned to the office and waited for good news. At the same time, he himself was also asking other acquaintances for information about Father Zhiye.
And while he was waiting for Mike to inquire about information, a heavy piece of news reached his ears.
“I got it, the murderer of Fushigiin!”
Xingchang Rang called him to inform him, with anger in his voice: “The [Nineteenth Saint] of Hope Sect—— Oku Kenjiro, I heard that he used despicable heretical means to threaten Fushigi with Miss Yoko's safety, and then forced Fushigi to commit suicide. He was really a complete bastard, but this also explains why there is no residue on Fushiki's body! Those special auras, because the other party did not use those abilities to fight Fushimu, but used this insidious method!"
"Yes~" Qian Xiaoyi said quietly: "It's really a trick! You bastard."
[The Nineteenth Saint] - Okuji Kenjiro, has become the number one enemy of the Spiritual Master Alliance, and everyone can punish him.
