Since Colin joined the funeral home, he has met all his colleagues at the top and bottom, but he has never met the rumored director.
According to Old Carl, Old William and others, the curator was on a business trip.
But now that I think about it, why does the director of a funeral home go on a business trip? What does he do on a business trip? Purchase corpses? Learn advanced cremation technology? Raise investment and sponsorship to expand cremation equipment?
Something is not quite right.
Even if we take a step back and say that the curator went on a business trip to learn advanced customer-drawing skills, the time was a bit too long. Even if we only count the time when Colin came to work, it was close to a month, and then we started from Old Carl and so on.
Judging by the tone, the curator had been gone for a while.
"So, the director's business trip is a problem in itself. I didn't think about it deeply because of my busy schedule and other reasons. But the figure just now clearly said that he is the director of the funeral parlor."
Inexplicably, he felt a cold air blowing behind him.
With Colin's mind, he would not hear or remember wrongly.
"If that figure is really the curator? What is the connection between him and the call in the morgue wall? Is he dead? Also, why are Old Carl and the others so sure that the curator is on a business trip?"
Suddenly, the seemingly simple funeral home began to become complicated.
"Do you want to unlock this secret? Well, you don't need to tear down the wall directly. You can start with the curator's whereabouts to learn more information. Even if that person is not the curator, then those people related to the call are also worth exploring.
"
As he was thinking about it, the young man sitting in the front row suddenly turned around and said: "Mr. Varland, we will arrive at the city hall in five minutes."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Colin's thoughts were interrupted, and he responded perfunctorily.
The person in the front passenger seat is called Dreibao, who is the clerk of the city hall and the clerk of the mayor's office.
Just now, it was this person who stopped the escape team where the clone was, and Colin found the opportunity to exchange with the clone. Otherwise, neither Little nor the two military extraordinarys would have noticed the changes on the hills.
, have been extra vigilant, and may find some clues.
It was precisely for this reason that Colin was willing to get in this car to meet the mayor whose name he still didn't even remember.
Noticing Colin's carelessness, Dreibao reminded: "Mr. Varlan, in addition to the mayor, there are two religious figures in the city hall. Please be sure to pay attention later, because there are religious-related matters.
People tend to be rigid and in some ways difficult to communicate."
"Religious people?"
Colin finally regained his energy.
Religious figures in this world often not only deal with religious affairs, but also have something to do with mystery. Facing an ordinary mayor, Colin may not be able to cheer up, but if clergy are involved, he has to be careful.
After all, he just caused a big incident.
"Which church is it from?" he asked.
"The priest of Moonlight Church," Delaibao glanced at the small book he carried with him, "is a priest from Desai City."
Moonlight Church?
Colin was a little more worried. He still had someone else's stolen goods in his hands. Could it be that something was revealed? After a moment of hesitation, he asked: "What are they doing here? I mean, why did they choose this time?"
If it is inconvenient for the mayor, we can reschedule."
"No, no, no," Dreibao shook his head, "the two priests are here just for you, sir. They value you very much, but they have never had the chance to meet you, so they asked the mayor to arrange it."
"So, it's because of the priests that the mayor wants to see me?" Colin became even more uneasy, feeling like he was going to the Hongmen Banquet.
If I had known this, it would have been better to stay with Mr. Entel Bligh, at least be exposed in front of them and still have some room for maneuver.
"No, no, no," Dreibao still shook his head, "it's Mr. Mayor who wants to see you. He respects you very much, an academic genius who appeared in Bursonburg. He wanted to meet you several times, but was delayed for some reasons.
"Several priests learned of the mayor's plan and entrusted the mayor to let them meet you during this meeting."
Can you finish it in one breath?
Although Colin was deeply skeptical of this answer, since he got into the car, he actually had no choice but to put on a mask and tear off his face on the spot.
Jingle bells.
Suddenly, Delaibao's cell phone rang, and after he answered it, his expression became even weirder.
"Oh, okay, okay, don't worry, I will tell Mr. Varlan."
Colin paid attention.
Soon, Delaibo hung up the phone and told Colin the reason: "There are several foreign scholars who know about your meeting with the mayor and want to take this opportunity to meet with you."
"Uh, okay."
Colin couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a while.
Jingle bells.
The phone of the clerk in the mayor's office rang again.
Dreibao connected again, listened to a few words, and showed an expression of disbelief. When he hung up the phone, he said to Colin: "Mr. Varland, the latest news is that the ambassador of the Waldersee Federation to our country has arrived.
City Hall, looking forward to meeting you.”
"Okay. Wait? Who?"
When Colin reacted, he was also confused.
Time goes back to ten minutes ago.
The huge changes that broke out in the hills on the edge of the city were immediately reported to the relevant agencies.
Of course, as the head of local civil affairs and in charge of administrative affairs, the mayor, Yadan, was the first to get the news.
He first sent someone out to further clarify the situation, and then learned that Colin Varland's traces were found on the edge of the hill where the incident occurred. So, after thinking for a while, the mayor of Bulsenberg asked his confidant Dreibao who happened to be nearby.
Go and invite Colin to come again.
Dreibao was originally monitoring the actions of the Defense Agency.
Another of his confidants, Miss Hergie, the secretary, expressed doubts about Yadan's decision. After all, the previous invitations had been rejected by Mr. Varlan.
But for some reason, Mayor Yadan is very confident about the success rate of this invitation.
It turned out just as he thought, Mr. Colin Varland accepted the invitation and got on the special car.
"Mayor, it's exactly what you expected."
After receiving the news, Miss Erjie came over in a hurry. She first praised her and then asked about the arrangements: "You originally arranged three meetings. The first meeting will be in ten minutes, with several factory owners in the north of the city..."
"Mr. Varlan is the most important person in Bursenberg and will become a top figure in Clovis in the future. No meeting can compare with meeting him. What's more, it took a lot of effort for him to agree to my invitation." Yadan
The mayor is a handsome middle-aged man with curly hair. When he speaks, his tone is gentle and elegant. "Put off all other meetings temporarily. If you can't postpone them, cancel them first and find an opportunity."
Arrange again.”
"Okay." Miss Erjie nodded and left quickly to make arrangements. But a few minutes later, she came back with a look of helplessness on her face: "I don't know where the news was leaked. There are two Moonlight Church members.
The priests came over and said they wanted to meet Mr. Varlan. They..."
"I know, arrange for them to go to the living room." Mr. Yadan put down the phone in his hand and shrugged, "The status of the two priests is unusual. They came from the Clovis General Assembly. Don't cause trouble."
"Okay, okay, they are privileged people again." Miss Elger muttered, "Why do these people always like to come to a small place like ours recently? It's such a headache."
"Thank you for your hard work." Mayor Yadan smiled bitterly, with helplessness on his face, "Although I am the civil affairs chief, you know, with the administrative status of Bursonburg, many people cannot afford to offend me."
Miss Erjie's cheeks were slightly red and she shook her head: "Mr. Mayor, you can't take everything on yourself. Many things are not your fault."
After this episode, Miss Erjie quickly returned to the living room. After some busy work, she ushered in two men wearing black robes.
The dark clothes under their robes can vaguely be seen in the style of clergy uniforms, but they are tight-fitting and look more like some kind of military uniforms. Moreover, these two people are indeed wearing military boots, and they move in unison when walking.
His serious face and cold eyes do have a military temperament.
The city hall staff who saw the two priests along the way bowed politely to them, but the two priests did not even look at them, let alone return the greetings, and just stared at Miss Hergie.
Under the guidance of the teacher, we came to the living room and sat directly in the middle position.
Seeing this scene, even Miss Erjie couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
After she made arrangements and left, she heard many colleagues muttering about how arrogant and arrogant the two priests were.
"Don't talk about these casually, you will get into trouble."
Although she tried to appease her colleagues and told them to keep quiet and avoid getting into trouble, Miss Alger could not avoid slander in her heart.
However, when she went to return the mayor's life, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and then someone walked quickly and reminded her in her ear: "Several well-known scholars are here, all from neighboring countries, headed by
Professor Marco Werner is a well-known professor in the Belusoron Federation and a former member of parliament. He has great political influence!"
"What? Why are you here at this time?" There was a vague feeling of something bad, but Erjie still asked.
"Professor Werner said it was for Mr. Colin Varland!"
"That's true!" Miss Erjie rubbed her forehead, "But where did they get the news?"
"Clovis protected Mr. Varland very well and never gave us a chance to contact him! But now, through the channels of the city hall, we meet with him to discuss academic issues. Who can blame him?"
Marco was in high spirits and spoke to the few people who came with him.
He is not very familiar with these people, but they have met each other at some academic forums and summit gatherings. The purpose of coming to Bursonburg this time is also the same, so they have reached a temporary offensive and defensive alliance——
The root cause is the public opinion turmoil a while ago. They believed that Clovis wanted to exclude Colin Varland, and then thought that this was their opportunity to bring a rising genius back to their country. As a result, they came here.
I found out that my trip was in vain.
However, most people still adhere to the guiding ideology of "come and come", and still want to meet Colin once, so as to become familiar with each other, and maybe there will be a chance in the future.
Unexpectedly, such a simple wish could not be realized, and in the obstruction, Clovis official figures could be seen overtly and covertly. This group of people became more and more unconvinced and unwilling. This time, they also got the news, so they hurriedly
Come here to prevent further changes.
"In short, when we meet Mr. Varlan later, we should warn him not to get involved with politics. It will definitely not be good for his future."
While chatting, the group also came to the living room and saw the two priests.
Both sides looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, but no one paid any attention to the other.
Outside the door, the staff of the city hall couldn't help but start talking.
"Who is Mr. Varlan? He attracted religious people and scholars from the academic circle."
Many ladies couldn't help but ask.
"You don't know?" The young man with square eyes looked surprised, "Oh, that's right. You little girls pay more attention to cosmetics. You don't know how big a disturbance Mr. Varlan has caused in the medical academic circle.
But, didn't you watch TV a while ago? Half of Clovis was talking about him at that time."
"When you say that, I have some impressions, but it's been several days. Aren't all the talks lately about the selection of the most handsome man?"
"Well, in this age of entertainment to death, human memory is not even as good as that of goldfish. Let's put it this way, what he is doing now will completely change the world in the future!" The man with glasses said in a very passionate tone.
“Like Ramos Cardo?”
"Ramos Cardo?" The bespectacled man thought for a moment, "Oh, you're talking about the founder of luxury goods? Well, it's a bit similar, but in my opinion, Mr. Varlan is better."
"So powerful? Then he must be an old man, right?"
"What is your idea?" The man with glasses thought for a moment, "It seems that his photo has not been released yet, but I heard that he is not very old."
…
Conversations like this are circulating throughout the office.
For those who pay attention to scientific research, technology and medical care, the name Colin Varland is already well-known. The recent public opinion storm has pushed him to the forefront, and many people are already aware of it.
But not everyone in this world cares about current affairs.
On the other hand, under the influence of a certain force, the impression he left on ordinary people is also rapidly fading.
However, when the New World Ambassador's special car stopped in front of the city hall, the entire city hall staff were so shocked that they remembered that name——
Colin Varland.
"Colin Varland."
Reciting this name, the man with blond hair chuckled.
He looked out the porthole at the airport scenery.
The connecting flight he was on had landed.
"In this confused country, a land looking forward to being pitied, countless poor lambs are waiting for the guidance of the Lord. Colin Varland, will you be one of them? Or, like me, will you become the Lord?
Servants, shepherds, working to save a sunken and fallen nation?”
