Chapter 42: The Witch
Gypsies are a naturally wandering people.
They called themselves the Rums, and the men made a living by selling livestock, taming animals, mending pots, and working as musicians.
Women are engaged in divination, medicine selling, begging and performing.
Mobile circuses and entertainment venues provide many job opportunities for Gypsies.
However, the non-Roma people in the world do not have a good impression of them, because of their mobile nature, so there are many beggars, thieves, or human traffickers among the Roma.
Legend has it that before God was crucified, there were four nails, and a gypsy stole one.
So Jesus had only one nail on each leg except one nail in each hand, but only one on each foot.
Therefore, God allowed them to steal without breaking the vows.
So Gypsies are born thieves.
Of course, the above are legends, and no one knows whether they are true or not.
However, being able to steal holy relics from the heavily fortified St. Paul's Cathedral shows that its ability is not simple.
"This gypsy's name is Palamas, and he came to Bactria to find his girlfriend Andrea......"
A staff member took the materials in his hand and introduced Song Jingxing, Chen Xuesong and Burak.
Andrea is currently a yoga instructor at Qiyang Lutheran Fitness. ”
"Huh, Decheng Gym?" Song Jingxing was a little surprised when he heard this.
"What, do you know?" asked Chen Xuesong curiously beside him.
Song Jingxing nodded when he heard this.
"Is the owner of Decheng Fitness Gym called Li Decheng?" asked Song Jingxing to the staff.
The staff nodded.
"That's right, this Li Decheng is my college classmate. ”
Li Decheng, like Song Jingxing, is a licking dog, but he can be described as the most inspirational licking dog.
In order to buy gifts for the goddess, he worked several jobs alone during his school years.
The goddess likes to be strong, so he tries to get fit.
The goddess likes hip-hop, so he went to learn hip-hop, participated in many competitions, and won many awards.
The goddess likes to sing, and during college, when no one had money or money, he held a concert attended by tens of thousands of people.
......
In short, he really licked everything.
Because he accumulated a lot of resources during college, as soon as he graduated from college, he opened several hip-hop training studios.
Then there are gyms, media companies, and so on.
In a few years, it is worth hundreds of millions.
He felt that the original goddess was no longer worthy of him.
Of course, the goddess has long been married.
But anyway, this is an inspirational licking dog, a successful licking dog.
The goddess has just become his motivation to keep improving himself.
It doesn't matter if you get it or not.
"So we're going to find Andrea now?" Song Jingxing asked Chen Xuesong after listening to the report.
Chen Xuesong shook his head: "As long as he is not stupid, he will not go to Andrea at this time." ”
"So what now?" Song Jingxing has no experience in handling cases, and everything is based on Chen Xuesong.
"Let's go and see, if there are any clues, wouldn't it be a pity to miss them?" Chen Xuesong thought for a while and said.
Braque stood up and opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he didn't.
"Don't worry, the entire Shuangyang City is covered with the Tianyan system, as long as someone else is in Shuangyang City, we will definitely be able to find him. ”
"Thank you. ”
Braque thanked him in his strange tone.
According to the information provided by the intelligence department, Song Jingxing and his party soon came to Andrea's residence.
"Is there anyone at home?" Chen Xuesong stepped forward and knocked on the door and asked.
"Who?" asked one of the women inside, wary.
It's almost 11 o'clock in the evening, knocking on the door of a single woman, it's strange not to be vigilant.
"From the Municipal Public Security Bureau, please open the door, we have something we want to consult. Chen Xuesong said.
"Wait a minute. ”
Then I heard the sound of ropes inside, and it took a while for the door to open.
A woman with long hair and a shawl and a headband appeared in front of them.
She was still a little vigilant, and asked through the iron gate, "Public security?"
Although she is a foreigner, Andrea's Daxia dialect is very good, and she even has a bit of Shuangyang accent.
If you don't look at her, you will think that she is a native of Shuangyang City.
Chen Xuesong passed through the iron door and handed his documents in.
Andrea took it and gave them a look, then opened the door for them.
Chen Xuesong kept staring at the other party's expression, frowning slightly when he saw this.
"We want to ask, do you know a man named Palamas?"
"Yes, he's my ex-boyfriend. Andrea replied quickly.
Song Jingxing quietly looked at this woman, a yoga instructor, and her figure was naturally very good.
The most important thing is that she also has a pair of turquoise eyes, which look quite mysterious.
Braque took the opportunity to look inside the room.
Andrea lives in a small apartment, you can see the bottom at a glance, the room is a little messy, but there is no one else.
"So has he been looking for you recently?" Chen Xuesong continued to ask.
Andrea shook her head, then turned her gaze to Brak and said curiously, "Who is this priest and gentleman?
"No, he's a victim, and Palamas stole something from him, so we brought him with us. ”
Andrea looked stunned when she heard this.
Chen Xuesong casually asked a few more questions.
Then he led Song Jingxing and them downstairs.
"It seems that Palamas did not come to Andrea. Song Jingxing said.
"No, Andrea is lying, Plamas has not only been here, but has not been gone for long. Chen Xuesong pushed his glasses and said.
There is a lot of detective momentum.
"You can see it from her facial expression?" Song Jingxing admired very much.
"No, I smelled the heather, the house was messy, but the beds were neat and clearly tidy.
And Andrea had wet hair, apparently just after taking a shower. ”
"Then what now? Directly arrest and interrogate?" Song Jingxing asked.
And Braque has been following behind without saying a word, obviously also a stuffy gourd, of course, it is also possible that Mandarin is not good.
Chen Xuesong didn't speak, but looked at the camera in the elevator.
But when they went to the property, they were told that the community monitoring equipment had broken a few days ago and had not been repaired.
It's such a coincidence that it looks like it's intentional.
As a last resort, everyone had to go back to the bureau and investigate the public cameras near Andrea's residence.
Sure enough, they soon spotted Palamas.
But until they left the community, they didn't find Palamas again.
Is he still in the community?
Just then, a Brak who was standing behind and watching, stepped forward.
Pointing to a Sherrary running out of the neighborhood on the screen, he said, "Palamas." ”
"You say this is Palamas?" asked Song Jingxing, a little surprised.
Brac didn't answer him, but showed a blank look: "Andrea is a witch. ”
"What?" Chen Xuesong was shocked when he heard this.
Hurriedly stood up.
A witch is just an ancient name for a woman with special abilities, in fact, she is a capable person.
When they arrived at Andrea's house again, they found that it was already empty.
But the layout inside was completely different from what they had seen before.
It's as if it was all their hallucination before.
It's clear that Andrea's abilities may have something to do with illusions.
PS: The priest in front was changed to a priest, although there is not much difference, but Brac is a Protestant Christian, so it should be called a priest, and Catholicism is called a priest, in fact, there is not much difference, the belief is God, but it is more rigorous, or it has been changed.
