Chapter 190: The Cross
Xiao Lin didn't think that Liao Fei would find anything here, so she was careless, even if she saw Liao Fei pick up a cross, she didn't have any suspicions, she just urged: "It's late, if you suspect that there will be anything here, just let the military personnel carefully check aside."

"What do you see what this is?" Liao Fei held the cross up in front of Xiaolin's eyes.
"It's just a broken cross, you want it, I'll give you a few."
"I suspect this cross is a man from a helicopter."
"What's the joke that just because the SWAT said they shot and the helicopter was shaking, the guy above could drop the cross? If the cross is worn around the neck, the plane is shaking, and no one comes down, how can the pendant around the neck fall off. If it's hung on an airplane, it's only the pilot's. But I don't think that's any, this cross just doesn't know who threw it here, don't want it. ā
"Look at this cross, there is no ash on it, it means that it has not been dropped for a long time."
Xiao Lin looked at it carefully and nodded in acknowledgement.
"The cross is deformed on the left, and it obviously collapses after exerting force, there is no doubt about that!"
Xiao Lin nodded again and hummed unwillingly.
"Look at the rope of the cross, it has been worn for a long time. If you look at the upper edge on the right side of the cross, there is a small notch, which is smooth, bright, and reflective, which is different from the overall brightness of the cross. This indicates that the gap is new. From this, I boldly speculated that the cross was scraped somewhere, and the cross was pulled down, fell from the sky, and landed on the roof of the building. ā
If she hadn't listened to Liao Fei's analysis, she really wouldn't have thought that there was so much information on the cross. It seems that Liao Fei said quite reasonably, like that. But even if the cross had been dropped from an airplane, it could have been Willy's, Indian's, or even pilot's. And a cross doesn't seem to say anything.
Liao Fei believes that this cross is very crucial, and it is even related to whether Hong Yongqiang and this group can be caught.
"Let's go find Gu Wei."
"Just because you saw one and didn't know if it was a cross on the plane, you went to him?"
"Time is running out, we have to race against time, we have to rush."
"Okay!" Even if Xiao Lin is reluctant in her heart, after all, she is the previous boss. And it's still the work arranged by the current boss, so you have to do everything.
Gu Wei had already returned to the office at this time, and he was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Lin and Liao Fei coming. Then he asked, "Did you find anything?" ā
"That's right, I picked this up." Liao Fei took out the cross and put it on the table.
"Cross, this one was picked up at the scene?" Gu Wei put the cross in his hand and looked at it over and over again.
"No, it was picked up from the roof of a building near the scene, and according to the surviving SWAT, they made a counterattack when the helicopter left, and the helicopter swayed and shook heavily to avoid bullets. It is possible that this cross fell at that time. The roof of the building where the cross was picked up is where the plane swayed. ā
"Oh!" Gu Wei pulled out a long voice and didn't say anything, he knew that he was not a professional, and he would say more and more wrong, so he would simply say less, hoping that Liao Fei would explain it himself.
Liao Fei saw that Gu Wei was waiting for his own explanation, but he was also a little unimpressed. I said what I had just told Xiaolin again.
"So there's a good chance that the cross was dropped by someone on the plane!"
"Not just fell off the plane, but also owned by the last mysterious foreigner."
Gu Wei's eyes lit up and asked, "Really?" How do you know for sure? ā
"We've basically investigated Willy's information, he's a fitness trainer, and he doesn't wear much clothes at work, which shows his muscles, so it's clear what accessories he has on him. We surveyed so many people, and none of them said that Willie had a cross, and that he didn't even have a cross or a Bible in his home. According to the degree of wear and tear of the cross and the degree of wear of the rope, it is impossible for someone like Willie to bring it out. Willie may have been a Christian, but he was certainly not a devout Christian, so the cross must not have been his. ā
"You have a point, but there are others!"
"Others are simpler, a defected pilot, a pilot killed by a defected pilot, both pilots are active military personnel. You must know better than I do for active duty soldiers, they simply can't carry a cross or anything like that. ā
"That's right, active-duty soldiers can't bring jewelry, crosses are even more forbidden, it's okay to bring them occasionally without being discovered, but it's definitely impossible to bring them every day."
In the end, there was only one Indian left, and the Indians were mainly Hindu, that is, Brahmanism, and partly Buddhism and Islam. Although Christianity is currently well developed in India and is present in all walks of life, the majority of the population is concentrated in southern India, the Konkan coast, and northeastern India. It accounts for 2.3% of India's total population and is prevalent in Kerala and Tamil Nadu in the south, Nagaland and Mizoram in the northeast and Goa in the west. Although we don't know the identity of the Indian, when it can be seen from his love of curry, this person is supposed to be an old-fashioned Indian, and he should also believe in Hinduism. The odds of being a Christian are low, and the odds of being a devout Christian are even lower. So I excluded him and thought that this cross was held by the last person who did not know his identity. ā
"It's kind of reasonable, but it's a matter of chance."
"The last person is Hong Yongqiang, and Hong Yongqiang's organization is not allowed to wear a cross, except when he is on a mission in a foreign country. But he has been in the country for a long time, and it is impossible for him to have a cross with this level of wear, nor can he not believe in Christianity before, but he has become a devout Christian just to avenge the past few days. ā
"Even if what you say is correct, we don't know who devout Christians are, especially foreigners, who mostly believe in Christianity, and it is difficult for us to find out through a cross."
"You look at the size of this cross, I don't think it's a regular cross."
"What's the difference in size?"
"For many years in the United States, crosses of this size were basically used by pastors, not ordinary people."
"Pastor?"
A pastor is a person who is responsible for leading and caring for other Christians in a general Protestant church. Of course, it could also be a Catholic priest. We just have to look at all the churches and find foreign priests, priests, bishops, congregations, etc. ā
"Do you think the last person was a priest?"
"Yes, and it is very likely that Hong Yongqiang and others are hiding in the church. Even if we do a city-wide survey, we don't usually check religious sites, so there's a very good chance that they're hiding in churches. ā
"Okay, I'll send someone to check all the churches in the city." Gu Wei did not have the slightest embarrassment about the investigation of the church. Because there aren't many churches in the city, it's easy to check.
"We can't investigate one by one, it will startle the snake, let's investigate together."
"This is impossible, although there are not many churches in our city, there are more than a dozen, so many churches are investigated at the same time, and a large number of personnel must be transferred to prevent Hong Yongqiang and others from jumping off the wall in a hurry, we simply do not have such a large number of personnel. And even if there is no problem with the deployment of personnel, if all the churches are encircled, not only will the impact be too great, but the construction of the encirclement will cause traffic jams on many streets in the city, which will seriously affect the lives of residents. ā
Now there are seminaries in our country, and after graduation, you can take the exam and become a priest. Therefore, there are a large number of Chinese priests in the church, and there are not many foreigners who come to be priests, and only the cathedral will have foreign priests.
"Only churches with foreigners need to be surrounded and inspected. In addition, we can also start the siege after the operation, so as to minimize the impact on the public. ā
"I asked people to look into churches where foreigners were present and think about what to do." Gu Wei asked the police to investigate, and at the same time asked Zhou Kang and the person in charge of the police to return again for a meeting.
The head of the police is also in the bureau to dispatch troops, and at this time, no one can go home to sleep. Zhou Kang is also arranging manpower investigations, in addition to arresting Hong Yongqiang, but also self-examination and self-correction. The two heard that Liao Fei had made a discovery, and they rushed to it again, but they were wondering what Liao Fei had discovered. Because of the leak, Gu Wei didn't tell the two of them on the phone, and asked them to study it after they arrived at the scene.
Although the person in charge of the police received Gu Wei's order to investigate the church, he did not know the specific reason, let alone that Liao Fei had picked up a cross. As soon as he arrived at Gu Wei's office, he reported first. After investigation, there are only two churches where foreigners are priests, one is a normal church, and the other is an underground church. In fact, Liao Fei has been abroad for a long time and ignores the situation at home. In our country, Catholicism and Protestantism are both Three-Self churches. Three-Self churches, also known as Three-Self patriotic churches, specifically refer to Christian churches that support the political leadership of the Chinese government and its ruling party, and are not subject to the management and interference of foreign churches. It is the only legal Christian church in our country, and any other form of Christian church is illegal. Not to mention that foreigners become priests, that is, no position can be held by foreigners. There are also independent churches that do not belong to the Three-Self Church, and the establishment of these churches violates the religious management policy of the Chinese government, and is collectively called house churches or underground churches, but as long as these churches are discovered, they will be monitored.
The reason why a foreigner is in a legal church in our country is because he is here temporarily, and it is of the nature of visiting friends, and he does not carry out any missionary activities in the church at all. Another underground sect was engaged in missionary activities.
Liao Fei looked at the person in charge of the police and asked, "Are there any photos of foreign priests?" ā
"Yes." The person in charge of the police asked his subordinates to take out a few photos and hand them to Liao Fei.
Liao Fei looked at each one one by one, looked at each one very carefully, and finally looked at a foreign godfather with glasses and asked, "He is the visiting friend, the foreign priest who lives in the church, right?" ā
