Chapter Ninety-Three: The "Giant" Bishop
In the evening, Klein sat down in an easy chair in the living room, and in the warmth of the fireplace, picked up the materials that Issinger's assistant had just delivered.
After the detective praised him for his thoughts in the morning, Kaslana immediately said that she needed a similar document, and Stuart sighed in a low voice, saying that he had believed that he was a good detective from Crane's composure and calmness when facing the Atru case, but what he did not expect was that he would be so good.
At the same time, he told Klein that he could go to him if he needed manpower and help, and he made quite a few friends in Beckland's detective circle.
Esinger Stanton also promised to contact the police department immediately and try to provide the appropriate information to the detectives who need it before dark.
He was very reputable.
At the next tarot meeting, I have to ask the "world" to ask the little "sun", to ask about the characteristics of the "demon" in sequence 6, and to ask what abilities the extraordinary person of this sequence has...... I didn't want to mix it up before, and I forgot to gather the corresponding information, but now that I have decided to help, I have to be prepared, so as not to encounter danger and not know what is going on...... Crane pondered for a few seconds, lowered his head, and looked through the unsolved serial murder cases in the entire kingdom of Rune in the past twenty years under the light of the gaslight.
And that's a lot less than he expected.
There were four cases in Beckland, and a total of five cases in other cities, adding up to a total of nine!
"Well, although the concept of DNA testing has not yet appeared in this world, and there is a lack of many necessary criminal investigation techniques, but under the promotion of the emperor, there is already a relatively formed 'fingerprint science', and there are also extraordinary means such as channeling, divination, and dreaming......! In this way, it is reasonable and logical that there are only a few serial murder cases that have not been solved in twenty years. Klein quickly figured out why.
He gathered his thoughts and flipped through the cases one by one.
In the absence of sufficient information to divination, he preliminarily selected two serial murder cases that might be related to current events, intending to use them as a preliminary entry point.
In one case, which occurred four years ago, there were five victims, all single prostitutes with one child, who had been abused before their deaths but lacked traces of having been in a relationship.
The police in charge at the time believed that the murderer must have known the prostitutes, otherwise it would be impossible to accurately pick out the type of single with a child, and they started with people living nearby and several prostitutes' regulars, and identified some suspects, but in the end they still did not find the real murderer.
Although there was only a slight mention of this in the dossier, Klein could clearly see that they had asked the extraordinary people of the three major churches to help, but unfortunately, they still failed to solve the case.
With the extraordinary ability of the "abyss" path, it is not contrary to the occult to see that women have traces of depravity, and it is the same to see that the other party is a prostitute, but it is unreasonable to see that the other party is currently single and has only one child...... The police's thinking is right, so what's the problem? The real murderer, like me, can fight against dreaming, divination, and psychic, and evade the investigation of the middle and low sequence night watchers or substitute punishers?
It is possible that although the major churches do not lack knowledge of "serial killers", they may have other adventures!
I'm analyzing them in a "kind" way...... lived up to the surname Moriarty...... He laughed at himself and decided that the four suspects would continue to be the first target.
"Well, let Mr. Stanton determine the current address and status of those suspects through the police, and ask Stuart to find someone to assist, I won't come forward directly, so as not to meet the official extraordinary, and when the situation is clarified, I will collect the suspect's belongings and go to the gray fog for metaphysical reasoning. Klein quickly drew up a plan.
The second case occurred eleven years ago, when there were four cases of mutilation, originally, these cases were not combined, until the police had doubts about the method of handling the corpses, it was confirmed that it was a serial murder case, the victims were people who worked late and did not return home, there were men and women, they were not robbed, and they had no common relationship with each other.
Because of the most precious time, the suspect has not been able to find clues in this case.
"It's a mistake to do it, and if you call in the 'psychic' soon, the spirits of the dead will even gather around the murderer...... Of course, it is possible that the murderer even 'killed' his soul, as in this case...... The body of the deceased should only be ashes, and it is difficult to get hold of it......" Klein rubbed the corners of his forehead, saw that it was already dark, stopped thinking about the case for a while, got up from the easy chair, and left Minsk Street.
He's got something to do tonight!
He was going to the south of the bridge, to the Harvest Church on Yuejihua Street, to find Bishop Utravsky, and try to get the recipe for the "pharmacist"βhe had already divined whether it was dangerous.
For Klein, it would be very helpful to have a "pharmacist" as his subordinate.
He will be injured, he will get sick, he will encounter enemies who can cause him harm, and a "medicine man" who can be found at any time will be his strong backing.
After a bit of a trip to the East End, Klein, who had changed his costume, took a steam subway, crossed the Tasok River, and arrived at the South District of the Bridge.
Along the way, the dimness along the subway line and the corresponding gas lamps make for an impressive scene.
Switching to a public carriage, Klein made his way to Moonflower Street, where he found the small Harvest Chapel without recognizance.
The golden church, with its striking spire and emblem of life inscribed on the faΓ§ade, is a stick figure baby surrounded by symbols such as ears of wheat, flowers and springs, which is very different from the surrounding buildings.
At this moment, the church is dimly lit and there do not seem to be many believers.
Crane sneaked in from the side, carefully smearing his face with oil paint, rather than relying solely on the ability to create illusions.
In the hall of the church, rows of seats are neatly arranged, with a huge emblem of life at the top, and lit candles on both sides.
In one of the front seats, there was a tall man in his forties and fifties in a brown clergyman's uniform.
Just sitting there is like a small mountain, giving people a great sense of oppression.
The man, wearing a Bishop's soft hat, with pale and sparse eyebrows, and obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, cheeks, and mouth, was closing his eyes tightly, clasping his hands against his chin, as if in the most pious confession.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, revealing a light blue.
"The Church of Mother God will not refuse anyone, why don't you go through the main entrance?" said the forty or fifty-year-old man without looking up, and spoke in a low and soft voice.
"You're Bishop Utravsky?" Klein stepped out of the shadows.
The tall man in the brown bishop's uniform replied in a gentle tone:
"I prefer to be called a priest. β
"Father Utravsky. β
"Yes, Mr. Bishop. Klein laughed deliberately, "Your name and your height tell me that you are from Fusak, why do you believe in Mother Earth?"
Bishop Utravsky slowly raised his head, looked at the emblem of life in front of him, and said with emotion:
"I was born in Indo, on the coast of the sea, and I am a man who is fanatical about fighting and killing. β
Indo? He was indeed from the Vorsack Empire...... Crane nodded imperceptibly.
The sea is the natural dividing line between Rune, Intis and Fersak, with the east coast belonging to Rune, the west coast mostly belonging to Intis, and the north being the famous port cities of the Fersak Empire, such as Indo.
In addition, the Sea also spreads northeastward, penetrating the territory of the Vorsack Empire and connecting with the North Sea, which has many islands and is home to animals such as ice bears and seals.
Bear hunting and seal fishing are the traditional programs of the local people of Vrsack.
When his thoughts diverged slightly, Bishop Utravsky continued to look ahead and said:
"I committed a serious crime and fled to the Sea of Sunia and became a murderous pirate. β
"Before I really fell into the hell of my heart, I was lucky enough to meet the preacher of Mother Goddess. β
"After that day, I understood the preciousness of life, understood the charm of the growth of all things, and attained pure joy from life itself, and I made a vow before the emblem of the Mother Goddess to spread His faith to other kingdoms as a bloody repentance of the past. β
"So, here I am, here I am. β
In a calm but emotional voice, Bishop Utravsky stood up, he was more than two meters twenty tall, with a strong physique, and his clerical uniform was tight, like a legendary giant who had reappeared on the Northern Continent.
A true giant of three to five meters, with a straight one-eyed ...... The populace of the Vorsack Empire was generally tall...... No wonder they have always called themselves giant remnants, believing that they have giant blood...... Crane had to tilt his neck back and look into the face of the "priest."
"What are you doing here?" asked Bishop Utravsky, bowing his head.
"I heard that you have something you want to entrust, and the reward is the recipe of the 'pharmacist'?" Klein, who had done the disguise, asked bluntly.
Bishop Utravsky was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Yes. β
"I don't know where you heard about it, but it does. β
"So, what is the mission?" Klein asked with a smile.
Utrawski looked at him deeply for a while and said:
"I don't think you can fulfill my commission. β
"Maybe I can? I have to know the specifics before I can make an assessment. Klein said with a slight frown.
Utravsky stood there like a giant pillar, and after a few seconds he said:
"My commission is ......"
Speaking of which, he closed his eyes:
"Kill me. β
