Due to a slip of the tongue that was like a short circuit in the brain, Ling Fan was knocked over by Tian Yu's towel. At this moment, Hong Feng finally thought of Ling Fan on the other end of the phone and said immediately: "Xiao Yu, is Ling Fan at home?"
Let him answer the phone. I have something to tell him.' "Here, I'll give him the phone right now." Xiao Yu said and handed the phone to Ling Fan.
I saw Ling Fan getting up from the ground with a look of embarrassment, holding up the sofa, sitting on it, and then took Xiao Yu's cell phone and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Hong, why did you think of me? You know it was me who asked you to
It’s not Xiao Yu who’s doing things!”
‘You kid, you’re still saying, I’ve blown up your phone and it keeps showing arrears, have you failed to pay your mobile phone bill?’ Hong Feng scolded reproachfully on the other end of the phone.
As soon as these words came out, Ling Fan was extremely depressed. Fang Yi, who was not very stalwart in the first place, was now downgraded by another level in his mind. It turned out that the old fox said he wanted to recharge his phone bill, but he was just perfunctory.
That's all, he actually naively thought... Damn it, the fox was indeed a fox, and he was still an old fox.
"Ah? Who are you talking about, the fox?" Hong Feng asked curiously.
'Oops, I spilled the beans in a moment of anger!' Ling Fan quickly changed his mind and said with a smile: "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, by the way, Senior Brother Hong, how is the matter I asked you to check, do you have any clues?
?”
Hong Feng said: "Well, I have some clues, but I spent a lot of effort. Fortunately, I have a good friend in the Vatican Cathedral. With his help, I was able to check the event book of that year. The fire in the Vatican Cathedral happened."
One night in January twenty years ago, the cause of the fire was probably that the clergyman on night watch failed to set up the torch properly and dropped it on the floor. Since the floor was made of wood, it caused a series of fires.
Due to the sudden incident, many clergy were asleep at the time. By the time they discovered the fire, the fire had spread to the main hall of the cathedral, where many documents and cultural relics of the church were preserved. So under the leadership of the archbishop of the church, the clergy
Personnel joined the effort to extinguish the fire, but the fire was too fierce and many clergymen were burned, but the fire still failed to weaken.
Many precious cultural relics in the main hall in front of them were about to be swallowed up by the raging fire. At this critical moment, four priests rushed into the fire scene with their bodies wet in order to save the cultural relics. But even so, the four priests
The personnel failed to rescue the cultural relics, but instead lost four young lives. The fire was still raging crazily. Later, firefighters arrived to join the fight to put out the fire. It was not until the next morning that the Vatican Church was stopped.
However, the main hall has been burned into ruins by the fire, and a large number of cultural relics have been burned by the fire. The most regrettable thing among them is the precious Shroud of Jesus and the four young lives. For this reason, the cathedral still has
A grand funeral was held specifically for them... The above is the investigation of Hong Feng's trip to the Vatican, but Ling Fan always felt that something was wrong. If the truth of the matter is really like this, then the "Shroud of Jesus" that suddenly appeared now
'What is it again?! Is it a fake?!
"Senior Brother Hong, you said that four priests were burned to death. Has anyone seen their bodies?" Ling Fan asked.
Hong Feng sighed: "What corpses are there? The entire main hall of the church is about to be burned to rubble. The corpses have long been burned to ashes. The church held a funeral for them." This was beyond Ling Fan's expectation.
, there was no body, which was an interesting discovery. Gradually, a clear image appeared in Ling Fan's mind. He asked again: "Brother Hong, those four clergymen broke into the church on their own initiative to save the cultural relics.
Or was it ordered by the Archbishop?"
This made Hong Feng stumped. He really didn't pay much attention to this. After thinking for a long time, he said: 'Well, if I remember correctly, the four clergy should have volunteered for the job. Yes, they are.
They took the initiative to put out the fire, otherwise we wouldn't have held such a grand funeral for them. 'Offered to put out the fire...' was such a good word that Ling Fan couldn't help but praise Hong Feng. He did bring him a useful clue.
, but there are still some things that he doesn’t quite understand. One of them is the wraith that claimed to be Merde when he was possessed: “Senior Brother Hong, have you investigated the matter about Merde?”
Hong Feng said: "Oh, I also made a trip to Kentucky in the United States about that matter. The police in Kentucky were also very cooperative. They transferred a fire file from July 20 years ago to me.
It turns out that Maude's real name is Nieves Maude, and he lives with his wife and children in a small town on the west coast of Kende. Moreover, he is also a famous local collector, with numerous cultural relics in his home, and he is also a famous collector.
He is a caring philanthropist who often gives food, clothing, and other things to orphans who have no one to take care of them. Although he is not a local in the town, everyone still respects him very much.
But one night in July twenty years ago, the collector's villa suddenly caught fire, and gasoline was doused around the house. The fire was so huge that people from the whole town came to put out the fire, but there was still nothing they could do.
Someone heard the collector's terrifying cry for help coming from the villa, but the fire was too huge and they couldn't come forward to rescue them. Several young people tried to break in, but they found that the door was locked with a big lock.
It can't be broken.
When the fire truck arrived, there was no sound anymore in the villa. The collector, his wife and children were all buried in the flames. The collector and his wife were burnt to the point of being completely charred and black.
The police suspected that this was a deliberate murder and locked the suspicion on a friend named Isbel Khalif. However, due to insufficient evidence, he was released, and then this major fire became an unsolved case until today.
None of them could be detected. "Isbell? Khalif?" Ling Fan muttered this name, and suddenly he remembered that the deceased in the first of the seven deadly sins was also named Isbell, so he quickly asked: "Senior Brother Hong,
Can you investigate the man named Isbel Khalif?"
I thought Hong Feng was full of promises, but I heard Hong Feng say on the phone with some disappointment: 'Of course I thought about investigating this person, but when I arrived in that town, I found that the door of his home was locked and the courtyard was full of chaos.
The grass is growing like crazy. People in the town told me that Khalif died of illness more than ten years ago, and his wife also left the town. I don’t know where she went, so please
It's no use to me, I really can't do anything.' In fact, what Hong Feng said is the truth. It's not easy to find someone in such a huge sea of people.
"In that case, forget it. Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Hong, when you come back, help me fax me the information of the four clergy in the Vatican Cathedral." Ling Fan couldn't help but hear that Khalif was deceased.
I'm a little disappointed, but how can everything go according to your wishes?
'Okay, no problem. My phone is about to run out of battery. Let's stop talking and talk back.' After saying that, Hong Feng hung up the phone. Ling Fan returned the phone to Xiao Yu and picked up his coffee again.
He got up, but his brows were furrowed. It turned out that the coffee had already gone cold.
"How's it going? Do you have any clues?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Of course, but he won't tell you." Tian Yu suddenly interrupted, her hair no longer so wet.
"Eh? Tianyu, how do you know he has a clue?" Xiao Yu was a little curious.
Tian Yu glanced sideways at Ling Fan and said angrily: "Look at his eyes, they are shining right now. That's a sign."
Xiao Yu looked at Ling Fan, and it was true that Ling Fan's eyes were much brighter than before. Ling Fan was a little distressed about this. He pointed at himself and looked at the two beauties and said: "Well...my eyes are really shining."
Light?"
The two beauties were speechless for a moment. Xiao Yu was a little interested in Ling Fan's thoughts at this time, and hurriedly moved to Ling Fan's side and urged: "Ling Fan, just tell me what you are thinking of now?!"
Ling Fan smiled and said: "Okay, let me tell you some of the conjectures that came to mind. First of all, you just knew about the huge fire in the Vatican Cathedral, and you also knew that there were four priests and the shroud of Jesus.
The cloth was burned to ashes together, but why would a shroud claiming to be a holy object suddenly appear in the Bauhinia Garden twenty years later, and various signs indicate that it may indeed be the shroud of Jesus."
"But wasn't it burned down?" Xiao Yu asked strangely.
"Good question, this is the key, this is the strange thing, why, let me make a bold assumption, if the Shroud of Jesus was not burned by the fire that year, but was preserved.
Although it has been preserved, many priests from the Vatican Cathedral did not find it, but only found a piece of ashes." Ling Fan squatted on the sofa and drew strange symbols on the table with his fingers dipped in coffee.
With.
"That's easy. The one that was burned was definitely a fake, and the one that was really burned was definitely taken away by someone." Tian Yu interjected.
"Yes, but who took it away, and who dared to take away the Shroud of Jesus, which is regarded as a Christian holy object, in front of the church clergy?" Ling Fan looked at Tian Yu and Xiao.
Yu asked with a smile.
"Of course it's the archbishop with supreme power!" Xiao Yu immediately raised his hand and said.
Ling Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "Even the Archbishop of the Vatican Church would not dare to have such courage."
"Who is that?" Xiao Yu and Tian Yu asked in unison.
"Who?!" Ling Fan's eyes suddenly shone brightly and he said, "Of course it's the four resentful souls who were burned to death by the fire."
