Chapter 408: Defeat
Yunxi and the cardinal said a few words, dealt with the rest of the matter at hand, turned their heads, and stood on the steps, looking at the assembly that the world was most concerned about today. So many people came from all over the world just to see the birth of a new pope. Perhaps, they are now only concerned with whether the church will be able to open a new chapter after this. These sentient beings, looking at it, can't see the end, who will know what happened here just now?
From the first time she woke up, she found that her predecessor was deliberately manipulated in the pool, so that she could be reborn, to the fact that the Leng family was framed by Qiao Lao and forced to "assist in the investigation", and then to her mother Zhang Cui was sent to the hospital, she remembered it all the way, and now, she finally forced him to a dead end, and he was determined to die.
With a soft smile, she got up and left.
About all the people who poured into the Vatican were concentrated near the Holy See, not only the road was extremely smooth, but even when they arrived at the airport, it was very different from when they came, and it was exceptionally clean.
Qiao Zimo took her hand and boarded the plane all the way, and between the palms touching, he couldn't help but gently clasp her fingertips, "Yunxi." He called to her softly, softly and gently.
"Huh?" She subconsciously turned her head sideways and looked into his eyes, a little curious as to what he told her to do.
"How's your wedding dress going?" He hooked his lips and smiled, his gaze slowly pouring out of grace.
Yunxi was stunned, and suddenly realized what he meant.
But, wedding dress, "Are you ready for your dress?" ”
"Well, anytime." His hand slowly shifted to her waist and was finally fixed on her waist, "As long as you're ready, I can do it at any time." ”
The people standing behind them were silent, and sure enough, Qiao Zimo fell in love with sprinkling dog food, and the gods couldn't stop it! It's only been a few minutes since I boarded the plane, and at this time, I don't forget to show my affection.
Yunxi lowered his head and glanced at the engagement ring he was wearing on his hand, as if it was indeed time to change it.
Qiao Zimo followed her gaze and glanced at the ring, and the corners of her lips hooked up a beautiful arc.
Seated in first class, she drank freshly squeezed juice while closing her eyes and waiting for the plane to take off. It's just that the burning gaze around her is too eye-catching, helplessly, she opened her eyes and looked at Master Zhuo: "If you have any problems, just say it, don't keep staring at me like this, if Zimo is jealous, you will bear the consequences." ”
Zhuo Feng subconsciously sat down next to him, but when he met Yunxi's smiling eyes, he suddenly had a little headache, thought about it, but directly sacrificed the psychological problems that had been stuffed along the way just now: "There are a lot of problems, let's come one by one." First of all, who is that cardinal? Why did he listen to you and take Qiao Lao to the reception room? ”
Cardinal, when they first met, he was just an ordinary priest.
Yunxi put down the juice leisurely and said slowly: "I have only met him four times before. The first time was at the Vatican, and I met him in your face. ”
What the?
Zhuo Feng looked at her incredulously, how could he not remember.
"Do you remember that when the Leng family was investigated, I stayed with you in Europe for three months at that time?"
"Yes." How could it not be remembered? At that time, the entire city B suspected that she was crazy. The entire Leng family, including the retired old man, has been asked to assist in the investigation, but she roams around Europe leisurely. Even Qiao Zimo would take a few more glances at that time, and at that time, he never thought that the two of them would become a couple.
Yunxi's fingertips slid lightly over the cup, and many people wondered what she was thinking at that time. When the Leng family was at its most noisy, even the cousins who were the most arrogant on weekdays were running with all their might, but she was the most pampered by her family, but she didn't stay in City B at all, but stayed in Europe with Qiao Zimo and Zhuo Feng, who were not very familiar at that time.
The reason why she stayed in Europe was not to avoid the limelight, on the contrary, she had been waiting for an opportunity.
"Do you remember when your last trip to Europe was?" Yunxi turned his head sideways and gave hints step by step.
"Rome." He thought about it and remembered that he had visited it at the beginning.
"And then?" She smiled but didn't say anything.
It was as if he suddenly saw a glimmer of light, and walked down the light, Zhuo Feng looked at her in astonishment, and suddenly smoothed the entire route.
When they were on a foreign trip, they finally walked into the Vatican Palace, accompanied by Roman officials, where the priest of the church was located. If that's what she said, the cardinal was just a priest at the time, and most likely he was one of them. However, it was only the first time we met. She clearly said that she had seen it four times.
As if knowing what he was thinking, she continued: "The second time we met, it was in China. At that time, I accompanied my mother to a mass in the suburbs, and I accidentally ran into Qiao Lao, who was the presiding priest. At that time, she only found out that Qiao Lao believed in Catholicism and had been in contact with a priest abroad for many years. It's just that the first meeting was indeed luck.
When she was reborn, it was because she fell into the pool, and the attending doctor was an extremely handsome and wise man, Zhang Cui had a heart attack, and he was also cared for when he was hospitalized, so that time, the doctor invited her and her mother to attend Catholic Mass in the suburbs, and she agreed. I didn't know that I met this bishop again. And this bishop himself said that he did not come to serve in country Z, but because another priest Zhang was unwell, so he came from England to preside over Mass for him for a period of time, and when he was well, he still had to return to China. She remembered clearly that Qiao Lao also attended Mass at that time, and his attitude towards this priest was extremely respectful. Therefore, I paid special attention, and naturally did not miss the priest's muttering when he looked at her: "I always feel that I have seen it somewhere." ”
Yes, it's rare that he still remembers.
Since, knowing that Qiao Lao has such a real heart-to-heart person, how could she let it go so easily?
With no heirs, no relatives and friends, only this priest is the real key to defeating Qiao Lao.
So, he asked people to check all his information directly.
British, living in London. The background of a priest could not be more easily checked.
So, when Zhuo Feng and Zimo came to London, she also accompanied them; As a result, the final film celebration was deliberately abandoned in the United States and was scheduled to be held in London.
The most important thing is to make it easier for her to have a good conversation with the priest.
"The third time I met him, it was in the Vatican Cathedral." Yunxi squinted, and the plane took off, his ears roaring a little uncomfortably. When the plane calmed down, she continued to Zhuo Feng: "That time, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the Pope himself presided over the Mass, and this priest was also present as an entourage. ”
By chance, Grantham had a very good relationship with the Pope, who was old enough to be his grandfather.
During the three months she was in Europe, she first met this priest for the first time through the special status of Zhuo Feng and Zimo, and it was just a temptation. Later, when she introduced them to Grantham on the banks of the Tiber, it was determined that Grantham would help her really get into the Pope's eyes.
Sure enough, because of Grantham's connections, she was noticed by many of the Pope's entourage at Mass that night, including this bishop. Anyone, when they see a stranger suddenly appearing next to a high-level person, their first reaction is that this person must be extraordinary and extraordinary. At this point, she finally succeeded in making a deep impression on the priest's heart.
"The fourth time we met, I shouldn't need to talk about it." The flight attendant thoughtfully walked to the first-class cabin and asked if he wanted to add a blanket to them, but Yunxi refused, and Zhuo Feng's attention was not on it at all.
He remembered the scene when Yunxi emptied the café in London just to meet with someone, and finally, all the thoughts were connected.
"The person you asked Zimo to help you bring to the café that day is this cardinal." That's it. Why did Qiao Lao go to the Vatican according to her design, why did the bishop deliberately bring him to the reception room and seal all his chances to escape, but people were unpredictable, and he left Qiao Lao like this just by relying on the fate of all sides......
It's really chilling......
"Why do you think he wants to listen to me and want to rely on my 'friendship' with the Pope to help him go to the next level?" Yunxi looked at his eyes, and understood Zhuo Feng's thoughts at this moment, and shook his head funny: "Let's not mention that the Pope is completely resigning today, and the duties of the Holy See have nothing to do with him, even if it is that cardinal, he is not such a selfish person." ”
Zhuo Feng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, rarely surprised.
Yunxi sighed: "Do you know the 'Ten Commandments of God'? ”
"The basic principles of life for Catholics." Zhuo Feng sighed, he was completely convinced of her calculations.
The first of the Ten Commandments of God, believing in the one God, God; The second commandment – not to swear in the name of God...... The Fifth Commandment – Thou Shalt Not Kill!
Since all sins are placed before the priest, no matter how much the cardinal wants to redeem him, he cannot turn his back on the most basic doctrines and legal norms.
Qiao Lao has already violated the commandments and the criminal law, and wants to pretend to be innocent and be deceived to obtain God's forgiveness?
Yunxi lowered his eyebrows and sneered faintly, which was simply a big joke in the world.
"So, you had this in mind during your three months in Europe?" Zhuo Feng took a glass of cold water in his hand, took a sip slowly, and looked at her with complicated eyebrows.
"Hmm." This time, she no longer shy it off and was open and honest.
"Qiao Lao has been operating behind the scenes before, and there is no direct evidence of murder, today you misled him that he was betrayed by his subordinates, just to get the video evidence of his murder?"
"Hmm." Yunxi hooked her lips and gave a positive reply.
Zhuo Feng took a deep breath: "Could it be that the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI this time is also a bureau set up by you?" ”
Yunxi gave him a speechless look: "How is it possible!" ”
She had only met once, and how could she influence such an important decision of the Pope. However, because of the rapid changes in the world and the heavier tests of faith than before, which require the Pope to be physically and mentally strong to run the Holy See, he resigns because of his advanced age and obvious deterioration in physical fitness in the past few months, and he can no longer carry out his duties.
Zhuo Feng took a deep look at her and decided not to ask any more questions. It's just that the flight time is long, and he still can't help but glance at Qiao Zimo: "Do you know all this?" ”
Since he sat down, he has been holding Yunxi with one hand in the palm of his hand, Qiao Zimo's eyes have not opened, and when he heard his friend's profound inquiry, he couldn't help but turn his head sideways, and raised his head slightly, revealing the depth and calmness of his eyes: "Of course." ”
He was aware of it as she and Grantham grew closer. After all, when she was in Europe, it was the time she should take advantage of the situation. Whether it is him, Zhuo Feng, or Grantham, in terms of identity, they are all effective bargaining chips, but she has always used them more. The only exception is in this case.
It was her wish to punish Qiao Lao with her own hands, and he was willing to do everything she wanted, and this matter was no exception.
Zhuo Feng blocked his face with his hand, and suddenly found that he was the one who was redundant here.
Why do you want to ask, he is purely looking for a lying gun, or is it a habit for him to show off his affection?
When the plane arrived in City B, it was already dark.
Zhuo Feng hurriedly asked Qiao Lao to go where he should go, and Qiao Zimo personally sent Yunxi home: "Qiao Lao's case should be heard soon, don't worry, if you have anything, call me at any time, after this busy time, we will find a comfortable place to prepare for the wedding." ”
He kissed her forehead gently, his hands wrapped around the familiar temperature, and he was a little reluctant to let go.
"yes, okay." She smiled and kissed him on the lips: "As soon as the case is over, we will get married." ”
In the evening, it is estimated that I will have to contact CRIS about the wedding dress and his dress. However, CRIS has already helped him make a dress once before, and this time he should be much more familiar with it. As for her wedding dress.......
In the case of CRIS's obsessive-compulsive disorder, I'm afraid I'm going to start the workaholic mode around the clock again, right?
Yunxi suddenly felt a little heartless, the reason for the movie celebration banquet that day had not been explained to her, but if she did, could she still wait for the dress?
Qiao Zimo lowered her head and saw a lazy and quiet smile like a cat flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but hug her tighter.
"Hurry up and get in, watch out for a cold."
He had to go back at night, and immediately erase all traces of the previous setup, just in case. Otherwise, it would be an honor to go home with her to meet her parents or something, in fact, he would be honored.
"Pay attention to your body, don't stay up late." Seeing that Sister-in-law Li had already stretched out her head to look at her, Yunxi directly didn't leave if he didn't leave, and he really couldn't leave. After thinking about it, I gave him one last goodnight kiss, and finally turned around and went back to the house......
This night, the Leng family all knew the news of Qiao Lao's imprisonment. Leng Zhuan looked at Yunxi's side face deeply, she actually completely collapsed the scheming Qiao Lao, for a while, he didn't know whether he was more proud or more proud...
