"What do you say, Sophia is gone!?"

White learned the news on his way to meet with Bishop Edgar and appeared rather alarmed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, I went out for a while, and when I came back, she was gone......"

Joshua said softly, his eyes were red, his sister's disappearance because of him made it difficult for him to accept, not to mention that there were unsolvable cases of disappearances within Byron Weiss now, so at this time, it was even more unsettling to him.

"What about those priests, weren't there some pastors when you brought her in before?"

As White listened to Joshua's choked narration of the whole process, he immediately noticed the strangeness.

"Do you still recognize what they look like?"

"I—I should be able to recognize it. ”

Joshua nodded, he had seen those priests before, so he was relieved to hand over Sophia to them, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

"Edgar, could you please summon the priest of this great church, I would like to inquire about my niece's whereabouts. ”

Although it is possible that Sophia has just run out to play alone, White is still quite anxious.

Could it be that the guy who saw him meeting with Bishop Edgar and thought he was going to leak the news, so he kidnapped Sophia?

Thinking of that person's great strength, White felt more and more that this was very likely.

"No problem. ”

Bishop Edgar was so calm that he rang the bell and summoned the priest who was now in the church.

Yet, strikingly, none of these pastors were what Joshua had seen at that time.

"No way, I can't name them, but those priests are undoubtedly the ones I've seen before, the Edgar people, are there any other priests who haven't returned?"

Joshua was even more anxious, his hands trembling, his heart racing, and his face flushed.

"Pahaibel's group of men who had gone on the night patrol should be coming back soon. ”

Bishop Edgar said slowly, as if he had thought of something.

"Mr. White, please wait for me in the break room, and I'll send someone to continue looking for your niece. ”

"Okay, okay. ”

Bishop Edgar spoke, and it seemed that there was something more important, and White could only watch Bishop Edgar leave, and then slumped in his chair somewhat weakly.

"Uncle, it's my fault......"

Joshua sobbed quietly, curled up.

"Joshua, you don't have to blame yourself. ”

White tried to comfort his nephew, but the servant who appeared at the door made him stand up unconsciously.

"My lord, Mr. Lazer asked me to bring this letter to you. ”

The other party said that Lazer was the name of the alchemist of the White family, and it seemed that the identification of the holy water had a result.

However, in such a hurry, it seems that the result is quite unusual.

"Good. You stay here and watch Joshua. ”

White got up, took the envelope, and walked out of the lounge, unpacking the letter in the shade of a nearby tree.

“...... W-How is this possible?"

After reading the analysis of the composition of the holy water and the speculation on the possible use of the holy water on the letter, White seemed to have been hit by a bolt from the blue, and the whole person stood in place, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

If all this is true, then this is not something to condemn by buying and selling holy water.

What went wrong?

White thought, not moving half a step.

Until, from behind him, a familiar voice was heard.

"Mr. White, what are you looking at?"

"No, nothing ......"

Flustered in reply, White hurriedly put the letter in his pocket, and just turned around, he felt a chill in his heart.

Lowering his head, a dagger was plunging into his heart with precision.

"You know too much. ”

The last thing he heard was such a whisper that White felt that his breath was uncomfortable, and his vision swirled for a while, and then his eyes went dark, and he gradually fell into the abyss of darkness, and the last thing he saw was the corner of the other party's spotless clergyman's robes.

......

Pahaibel walked smoothly down the corridor, the sun shining through the stained glass on his face, showing a different color.

He walked to a room with a closed door, where Bishop Edgar worked, and the key was only for Bishop Edgar and him, and it was one of the most mysterious places in the whole church.

"Master Odysseus, you're back. ”

He was greeted by a passing priest.

"Well, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Pahaibel looked calm, and when he saw the other party's hurried footsteps, he asked curiously.

"Hey, didn't you hear the bell ringing, my lord, it should be Edgar's calling us. ”

The other said, looking at Pahaibel.

"What are you going to do, sir?"

"I'm going to get something for the Edgar people. ”

With a kind smile, Pahaibel explained.

"I see, then I'll go first. ”

The other nodded, as if he had no doubt about Pahaibel's words.

"Okay, I'll get over later. ”

After seeing the other party leave, Pahaibel took out the key, opened the door to the room, quickly dodged in, and then closed it gently.

On the shelves were editions of holy texts and doctrinal exposition, and many more miscellaneous notes on the human geography of the various nations, and on the wooden desks were various spread out files, and the ink on the quill had not yet dried up, apparently not so long before when Bishop Edgar had been working.

When it comes to evidence, then the most direct thing should be the ledger, whether it is the circulation of holy water or the money obtained from the sale, there should be a written record.

However, Pahaibel rummaged for a while, but did not find any relevant records.

"It doesn't seem to be here. ”

Thinking about it, it seems that such an important thing should also be carried with you, Pahaibel shook his head.

If you really carry it with you, then the difficulty of collecting evidence is too great, and if you want to find evidence, you can only start from other aspects.

It's about the same time.

Seeing that there was no gain, Pahaibel did not linger any longer, restored everything to its original state, and then slowly exited the room and locked the door with the key.

However,

"What are you doing here, Pahaibel?"

From behind Pahaibel, a low question was heard.

It's Bishop Edgar.

"Edgar, I'll take this. ”

Pahaibel flashed the book in his hand, it was a research note that analyzed several legends in the Holy Scriptures, which he had picked up from the shelf, and which Bishop Edgar had mentioned to him a few words before, so it was quite reasonable for him to borrow this book himself.

He behaved very naturally and without any flaws.

"Really?"

But there was no emotion in Bishop Edgar's eyes.

"As it happens, I have a few things to discuss with you here. ”

He opened the locked room, gently pushed the door open, glanced around, and then turned back to Pahaibel.

"Let's come in and talk about it. ”
