Chapter 51
Don’t think too much
"This time the conflict between the Salvation Army and our St. Mellon Parish is well known. To be fair, Lieutenant Charles's body is still at the notary office of the Sheriff's Department awaiting autopsy." He paused: "They said Anthony shot him.
Him, but you don’t think so, right?”
Joe had to admit that it was indeed the case.
Although the two priests sent by Petit to assist, or rather monitor, his work were eccentric, they were still respectable.
"I know that witchcraft can cause such results." Petty pointed to his heart: "If you put a bullet here in advance and then use witchcraft to ignite the gunpowder, you can indeed fake the consequences of the shooting, but
The shell casings will remain.”
"Can a wizard still do this?" Joe was extremely surprised.
He felt it was magical at first, but soon found it troublesome.
Once the possible involvement of supernatural forces is considered, all cases will be filled with countless doubts and entanglements.
"Of course you can. Witchcraft is the power of using the elements of nature for your own use. Even for apprentices, it is not difficult to light a fire from a distance." Petty's statement is somewhat novel compared to the teachings, and even counts in the eyes of some conservatives.
Apostasy.
"Second Lieutenant Charles showed some strangeness in the last few hours of his life. Before his death, he seemed to want to find a young man in the workhouse under the pretext of searching for missing soldiers. That was probably you. This was probably instigated by someone from the Holy Grail Society.
Or it was caused by manipulating his mind. But due to his past experience, this doubt was not accepted by the courts of both parties."
"We found the location of the bullet casing at the scene. It was still hot when it fell off the bullet. Based on the burn marks on the weeds and wet mud on the ground, we can confirm that it did not fall from Anthony's gun, because
The distance is wrong. But this cannot be used as evidence in the trial."
It seems like they don't go out anymore.
Petty shook his head slightly: "I can't solve them, but I have convinced the people from the General Security Department to let them send the most elite police officers to take turns taking care of the body. This was the case until Lieutenant Charles' body was sent to the hospital.
Once the body leaves the notary office, we will send someone to accompany it all the way, which can prevent people from the Holy Grail Society from coming into contact with the body to the greatest extent."
"Don't worry, the people in the Salvation Army are not despicable heretics."
Now he also took over the work of the director of the studio for a day, because the latter was taken in for questioning.
It was precisely because of this that she didn't chat much with them that day. She just wrote the letter as required and hurried back to the post office.
She had waited for today.
But instead of waiting for that man to show up, he waited until his friend went out.
These things alone are enough to make the poor in this parish richer than elsewhere.
These girls have always refused Mary's help. Even if they are reduced to this, they still hope to be able to hold their heads high when facing their friends.
The petite figure wrapped in a cloak only trembled when he heard the call. He did not stop, but quickened his pace, not caring about the splashing of dirty water in the alley.
But my health is even worse,
Although he is from the military, it does not mean that he has any favorable impression of the military.
A few days later, she also discovered something strange about her friends.
A large number of people were encouraged to go to the battlefield by their school teachers. Although Joe was lucky enough not to go to the front line, many of his classmates and friends failed to come back.
"That's okay."
If someone who didn't know the inside story looked at it, they might think that she was spying on the strip club instead of that person's job.
“Don’t they also believe in Heavenly Father?”
"So, I applied for someone to go over and further examine the wounds on the corpse. But considering that the city's military department has not had a transcendent join for a long time, and the thinking is still the same as it was fifty years ago, they will probably block us for a while and fight for those boring words.
power and prestige. And the person who caused this incident will definitely destroy the traces on the body during that time. Once the body is destroyed, we and the senior military officials will definitely be addicted to the pleasure of blaming each other and have no time to manage business.
."
Mary didn't care anymore, she just chased after her sincerely.
"What if no one from the Holy Grail Society came to destroy the body?"
Although paranoid, the Salvation Army was also known as a firm believer in the military. He did not expect that Father Petty would evaluate them as a heretic.
Here, there is still white, low-quality whale oil with recycling value flowing in the mud. The fishy smell can even penetrate into the bones of the residents. Rusty and damaged parts are inserted into the wall as anti-theft stabs, but some of them have stabbed the homeowners and caused serious injuries.
Cases of death due to tetanus.
Until recently, things changed.
Although this was against the rules of the post office, Mary had never taken a vacation before, and no one would care about her occasional willfulness.
She can still remember the people she met at that time, and the people she still considers as friends are the same people as at that time.
Mary searched for several days, but the man never appeared again.
People in the military did not show sympathy to these soldiers, and too many families of fallen soldiers did not receive fair compensation.
When Joe was reassured, Patty revealed something even worse: "They are real heathens."
It should be said that it was because of my experience as a soldier that I disliked the Kingdom's military department.
"They just thought they were believing in Heavenly Father." Petty looked at Joe's blue eyes: "I don't know what sounds they heard in the depths of those oceans and polar regions, but those sounds obviously did not come from Heavenly Father and were not calm.
They can't even get rid of those auditory hallucinations. Such people can't even meditate and can't master the ability to cast spells."
The girls from Broken Wing Angel Club make up the majority of her friends.
A woman wrapped in a gray cloak emerged from the club's exit.
"Then what can we do to solve the problem?"
Marietta experienced for the first time what she had inflicted on others.
"Even if the traces of witchcraft are exposed, it doesn't prove that it was a third party involved, right? The Salvation Army people have been talking about it, maybe they really know some witchcraft." Joe shrugged, he was not optimistic about it.
this arrangement.
Joe thought for a while and then asked doubtfully: "You are so sure that the Sheriff can resist the secret operations of the Holy Grail Society, how can they resist the wizards?"
St. Alvin's Parish is far more filthy than other areas.
Joe hasn't reacted yet.
So she didn't bother to run around anymore, and simply stood where he met her for the first time, leaning against the wall and waiting for him.
"you mean?"
"Sylvia."
There are so many people using low-quality whale oil here that lung disease has almost become a local specialty.
Because she only remembers them, on the other hand, the probability of remaining friends with them is greater.
Because of the difference in financial situation, they became a little distant, but they were still willing to talk to Mary.
Because it is close to a train station, a large amount of valuable but unwanted garbage is thrown off the train every day.
When Mary asked them why they refused to show up, their answer was simply "it's not convenient to see people."
She misses her childhood.
Because her face was covered tightly, leaving only a small space for observation, she did not notice Mary's presence and passed directly in front of her.
Marietta took ten days off just to find the mysterious tall man.
Just talking to Patty about how disrespectful the church was, Joe Mani also didn't look good on the military department.
Mary could not forcefully break into the dressing room and break in to ask what was going on. She could only wait for the man to come over before asking about their affairs.
Marietta once lived here, but she was a child then and the place was not what it is now.
She shouted into the winding alley. Although she didn't see the face, she could identify that this was a friend she knew just by her figure and pace.
"Sylvia, what's wrong with everyone lately? What troubles do you have that you can't tell me?"
Until the director returns, he has to suspend his activities in the church, where there are other priests to help abbot.
Peidi walked behind the table and sat down: "You will know later."
On the day that Mary met the mysterious man, she walked into the club as before, but those friends hid in the dressing room and refused to meet her, and the request to write letters was made through the door.
"ah?"
They chased in the alley, kicking up a few pebbles and beer bottle caps from time to time to scare away the rats that were foraging for food near the garbage.
In the past few days, when she was looking for the man who was following the club and was most likely a detective, because of the last words he said, she would also wonder if her friends were involved in a certain incident or did something wrong.
So much so that detectives were invited to investigate them.
Mary is not as familiar with the terrain here as her opponent, but her running skills are better.
In less than five minutes, she caught up with him.
"Sylvia, you really should tell me what happened?"
Sylvia was still breathing, and Mary was able to calmly ask her questions. Then she heard her friend screaming at her with a tearful voice.
"Don't come near me!"
