Chapter 742 The Narrow Gate (13)
“Of course I haven’t forgotten it.” Mike said: “Even though I was a little moved, I still remember the purpose of going there.”
Mike was putting his After gaining the trust of other believers by telling his true experiences, he also began to listen to other people's living conditions.
In general, it's just that - it's not very good.
But this is inevitable. If you live a very good life, have a harmonious family, and work smoothly, how can anyone put their hope in illusory religion except those who have been exposed to it since childhood and then joined religion?
In the island country of Japan, there are not many traditional Christian families, so it stands to reason that the believers who come to the church must be people who have encountered difficulties in life and want to seek spiritual sustenance.
Compared with facing the uneasiness of the unknown, leaving all explanations to "God" has someone to rely on no matter what. This choice is much easier than facing life head-on.
“That’s why I say Father Zinye is really a good person.” Mike said: “Even those homeless people are treated equally and will not stop them from entering the church just because they are dirty. , and even every once in a while he would organize the distribution of free food to the poor homeless people.”
Listening to Mike’s description, Qian Xiaoyi, who had only met Father Zhiye once, suddenly appeared in his mind. The image of a compassionate clergyman.
He asked again: "So how many believers are there in this church? Are there any of them who suddenly stopped coming?"
Qian Xiaoyi had previously told Mike to focus on this aspect.
Mike said: "I just came into contact with those people, so it's not easy to inquire about this kind of thing. It would be too obvious. But during their conversations, I heard that they have a son. The church member who owed gambling debt used to go to church every time, but he suddenly stopped going a month ago. According to their conversation, the family situation of that person was very poor, and his son was an unemployed vagrant. , who often steals things from home and sells them for gambling. "That's it!" Qian Xiaoyi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you know that person's name?"
Mike. He replied: "It seems to be Mr. 'Izakaya', right? That's probably the pronunciation. As for the Chinese characters, I'm not sure."
The pronunciation of Japanese names is separate from the Chinese characters, and some names have different pronunciations than ordinary ones. The situation is completely different. It often happens that when you see a name in Chinese characters at first glance, you mispronounce it.
"Wine house? I understand. I finally have a clue." Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Mike. You lurk in that church first. If I really misunderstand Father Zhiye, I will go to him." I'm sorry, but before I find out his details, please be careful not to expose him."
"I understand," Mike said with a smile, "After all, I am still a person. Where's the agent~"
“It’s almost time.” Qian Xiaoyi left his seat at the bar and said, “Then I won’t disturb your opening.”
Maria asked: “I want to go Did you investigate it? Detective?"
"You are very annoying, Maria!" Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "I really doubt that I have any detective skills at all... I'll see you next time. Chat, I’m leaving.”
Maria looked at Qian Xiaoyi's back and said, "You have to have confidence, Mr. Detective, people have always believed that you are a very good detective."
Qian Xiaoyi didn't look back. He waved and left the bar.
After returning to the office, Qian Xiaoyi sent a message to Zhang Chunfa.
After a long time, Zhang Chunfa called.
"What's wrong? What are your orders, boss?" Zhang Chunfa asked teasingly. "You are the boss, Brother Zhang." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "If I have nothing to do, I can't call you and invite you to tea? What are you busy with?"
"Drinking tea? Come to my hotel and drink whatever you want." Zhang Chunfa said: "I was just checking the accounts in the office. There were people nearby, so it was inconvenient to answer the phone. Okay, stop talking nonsense and just talk. "What do you want me to do?"
Qian Xiaoyi said seriously: "I want you to help me check the information of a man. I only know that his last name should be 'Jiuwu' is a gambler who is in debt. I need his address and basic information quickly."
Zhang Chunfa asked: "Which casino did he gamble in? How much? What do you like to play? "
Zhang Chunfa asked a series of questions, Qian Xiaoyi just shook his head: "I don't know."
"You don't even know?" Zhang Chunfa said funny: "Only one surname? Boss, don't play with me. Do you know how many casinos there are in Tokyo? Serious ones, informal ones, everywhere, as small as a dozen people A small chess and card room, an underground casino that can accommodate hundreds of people... just one surname? Do you think I'm a god?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "This matter is related to that organization, so I suspect that he probably went to the casino under your jurisdiction. Don't forget what your casino was doing before."
Qian Xiaoyi suspects that since the Hope Sect and Chuandao Huitong are subordinate organizations of Baigui, there may be a connection between them.
For example, if the Hope Sect wants to create the Aquarius, there must be desperate tragedies, and the Golden God Game Hall needs to collect those fallen souls. The two are a perfect match! It's possible that as soon as one corrupted soul is seduced here, the family collapses on the other side.
One-stop service.
Eat everything and wipe it clean, and never let go until the last drop of oil and water is squeezed out of the target. These societies and cults are similar in this regard.
Hearing what Qian Xiaoyi said, Zhang Chunfa breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh~ In this case, it will be much simpler. I understand, and I can give you an answer as soon as evening. The surname of Jiuwu is also quite good. In particular, it should not be difficult to notice. I will ask my people to send up the list of debtors later, and I will check them one by one." "Then I'll leave it to you," Qian Xiaoyi. Hang up the phone.
Japanese people have all kinds of strange surnames. It is said that there are more than 300,000 different surnames in Japan. Some rare surnames are only owned by a few dozen people in the entire country, so as long as you have one surname, sometimes you can Lock a person's information.
Sure enough, at night, Zhang Chunfa called again.
"I found out that in the casino under the Chuan Dao Society, there is only one debtor whose name is pronounced 'wine house'." Zhang Chunfa yawned and said, "I asked my confidant to ask him. This is A gangster in his twenties, who was notoriously unfilial, owed the casino more than one million yen, which was not much, but he couldn't even pay back the interest. Casinos, as you know, the interest is very expensive. But just last month, when the people below went to collect debts, they found that the man was dead. "Dead? How?" Qian Xiaoyi immediately became excited after hearing this. none.
Zhang Chunfa yawned again and said: "I heard that this bad boy wanted to steal the real estate certificate for mortgage, so he continued to gamble and wanted to make money, but when he was fighting with his father, he accidentally lost his money. He fell down the stairs and died."
"What about his father?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.
"I don't know." Zhang Chunfa said: "There is no one in the house. I asked the neighbors and I don't know where he went. Do you want to continue to search? I can ask someone to take his photo and continue to search. , but don’t expect too much.”
"No need, I will alert the snake." Qian Xiaoyi said: "And I think I already know where that person went... The clues are connected."
