Chapter 29 Twilight Blessing
The bishop’s kneeling made tens of thousands of workers feel complicated and panicked.
When they faced this old man, they were full of gratitude. He was the Bishop of Twilight, a big shot who could be elected to the upper council, but he was rooted in Yu Guang and devoted almost all his life to the workers. He lost half his life.
Now that he is dragging his old body to his knees, no one thinks he can bear this blow.
The workers in the Houshan Cemetery who were angry and wanted an explanation all knelt down. Everyone felt that they were not qualified to stand and face the kneeling old man. .
Behind the bishop, there was a priest with a face full of self-blame and grief. He quickly stepped forward and wanted to help him up, but the withered hand stopped him.
His voice was not loud, but in the quiet night, most people present could hear him clearly.
“The corpses in the cemetery were stolen. This is the responsibility of the church and also my responsibility. I promise to find out this matter as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation, no matter who is the person who committed such a crime. , will hand him over to the public for trial!”
The bishop’s guarantee has great convincing power in the hearts of the workers.
He only made a verbal guarantee, and the workers dispersed. The back of the church, which was originally overcrowded, became empty again, leaving only Twilight's teaching staff, the labor union, and Tian Yuan. Led by police officers.
With the support of the union president and Tian Yuan, the bishop's stooped body stood up and sat back in the wheelchair.
He looked extremely tired, leaning on the back of the chair, and raised his cloudy eyes to look at Tian Yuan.
"Superintendent Tian Yuan"
Tian Yuan could show off his power in front of Feng Yanyi, and could put on airs in front of Li Ming, but he did not dare to put on airs in front of the bishop.
He bent down and lowered his head, his tone was more respectful than ever before.
"I'm here, Mr. Bishop."
"Can I safely leave this matter in the cemetery to you?"
I was already troubled by the lack of progress in the Fengzi case. Tian Yuan, who was extremely annoyed and unable to come up with an explanation within the seven-day period given to him by the parliament, did not dare to hesitate or refuse at this time.
He stood at attention and solemnly bowed to the bishop and promised.
“I will investigate this matter, please feel free to leave it to me!”
"That's good. The people need an explanation, and the workers also need a belief to persevere."
The bishop sighed and shook his head, motioning to the nun behind him to push the wheelchair out of the back hill.
After he left, Tian Yuan no longer concealed his extremely ugly expression.
Almost everything is weighing on him, including the Fengzi escape case that has attracted the attention of the entire parliament, the torture and murder case that frightened the workers in Yu Guang, and now the empty grave case that is enough to shock the entire sun!
Except for the murder case, he couldn't afford to delay the other two cases. The parliament was his immediate boss, and the bishop was a big shot he couldn't afford to offend.
Tian Yuan shouted in a voice that was almost self-defeating.
"Check! Check them all for me! Let people check the time when the cemetery was hollowed out! Check all the people who have been in contact with the cemetery over the years!"
Li Wei stood in the crowd Finally, he watched the whole process coldly.
Fengzi stood beside him, grabbing his sleeves, her pale face full of worry.
“Why would someone steal so many corpses?”
"Let's think about how to solve our own troubles first." Levi said softly. Fengzi could not help but turn her head to look at him nervously.
"What trouble are we in now? Has any police found us?"
Levi looked around and asked someone who seemed irrelevant. problem.
“Did you see Sister Cheng this afternoon?”
Fengzi shook her head.
“I didn’t see her. She seemed to be busy with anything after lunch.”
When I saw Grandma Cheng again, it was already the second day after the incident happened. It's morning.
Because of the empty grave case, the entire church staff began to be questioned and investigated by the police one by one, causing the choir training to be suspended for the next day.
At the same time, on this day, Grandma Cheng reappeared and conducted the first screening of the already over-subscribed choir.
Two children who struggled to recite the Gospels because they were illiterate were screened out. This made the atmosphere of the choir, which was originally relaxed and cheerful, become tense.
If there is selection, there will definitely be competition. If there is competition, the relationship between everyone will not become so pure.
At the same time, after this screening, Grandma Cheng also called out five people for a private conversation.
Li Wei and Fengzi are included among these five people.
They were taken into a room. The other three children all looked uneasy. After all, two of them had just been kicked out, and now it was easy to call five of them out alone. Gives people some bad associations.
Li Wei and Fengzi looked at each other, and Fengzi's face was full of embarrassment. She thought this was the trouble Li Wei said they would encounter yesterday.
But Li Wei himself understood that things were probably not that simple.
After closing the door, Grandma Cheng’s sharp eyes that usually made people afraid to look directly, for some reason, felt inexplicably nervous and anxious at this time.
“You are the children with the best performance in these three days, so the church will give you extra rewards. There will be a twilight blessing tomorrow that only teachers can participate in, and you can also follow it. "
Hearing these words, the worries on the faces of the three children immediately disappeared, and even Fengzi's expressions relaxed.
Aunt Cheng brought the five of them to such a small room just to talk about this thing, and then let them go.
Li Wei asked Fengzi thoughtfully on the way back.
"Will there be scientists in the Twilight Church?"
This is a question that should be common sense. When Li Wei asked it, Feng Zi didn't find it strange. He was already imprisoned. After 17 years, it is normal not to understand.
“Of course, Twilight was founded by a great brain biologist from the beginning, and almost every priest is a doctor, and the high-ranking bishops of the church are all named in the Central Biological Institute. So does the bishop of the diocese, who spent time at the Central Institute of Biology when he was young.”
Fengzi also explained to Levi about Twilight's blessing.
“In addition to biology, the Twilight Church has basically gathered the top biological talents in all underground cities. They are experienced in solving bacterial diseases, improving human body quality, and extending life span, so Twilight Church Blessings are sought after by many wealthy people, but the archbishop's blessings are generally things that money cannot buy."
"The blessing that the church invites us to attend tomorrow should only be a blessing given by a high-ranking person. Even if it is a small blessing hosted by a pastor, it is a rare blessing for ordinary people.”
