273 Let's talk
At this time, in the sleeping town police station, far away from the abandoned old house, in the interrogation room.
The incandescent lamps on the ceiling chirped from time to time, and the clock hand on the concrete wall was about to point to 12 o'clock.
There was a long table in the center of the interrogation room, and to the right of the long table, the bald priest sat upright on a wooden chair, his hands handcuffed and fixed to the armrests. He stared at the brown wooden door of the interrogation room in front of him, his face showing no nervousness, worry.
At this moment, there was a "click", the brown wooden door was pushed open, and Rorschach walked into the interrogation room with a blue folder.
He closed the wooden door with him, and smiled at the bald priest, as if this was not an interrogation, but an interview.
Rorschach pulled out the folding chair on the left side of the yellow table, sat directly across from the bald priest, opened the folder and placed it on the table, and looked down.
The interrogation room was so quiet that only the faint sound of the two men breathing could be heard, and the occasional sound of paper flipping through it.
After a long moment, Rorschach looked up, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the bald priest.
"You've done me a great favor by finding Craig, and I'm asking you a question, what did you rely on to make my people have no impression of your visit to the police station, hypnosis, or a special function?"
The bald priest lowered his eyes and did not reply.
Rorschach shrugged, closed his folder, and looked the bald priest up and down.
He found that the bald priest's hands were larger than the average person's, and the joints were thick, especially in the tiger's mouth, with a thick layer of calluses.
Rorschach narrowed his eyes, this is not the effect that regular labor can produce, only the practice of cold weapons for many years can do this. Is this guy a combat force cultivated by the church, and if you think about it, this is a world with supernatural powers, and the church naturally has the power to fight them.
Rorschach nodded, grinning at the bald priest.
"Well, you haven't told me your name until now."
The bald priest looked up, glanced at Rorschach with a blank expression, and then turned his gaze to the corner of the room. The hands on the back of the chair were slightly clenched, and the index finger and thumb were rubbed together, as if they didn't want to answer the question.
"Don't want to answer?" Rorschach smiled slightly, "Of course, the law allows you to remain silent, but you have no right to refuse to answer such basic questions as personal information." ”
The bald priest tilted his head to meet Rorschach's gaze and looked at him. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth, and a hoarse voice welled up from his throat.
"Priest."
Priest? Rorschach narrowed his eyes, happy in his heart. Priest is pronounced "Priest", which translates to pastor, priest, priest.
He shook his head and stared at the bald priest.
"Please tell me, your real name."
"That's my name."
Priest shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in his chair, disdain in his eyes.
"Well, Mr. "Pastor". Rorschach nodded, resting his arms on the long table, his fingers tapping on the tabletop with a "click, click" sound. He asked, "What is your relationship with Dana?" ”
"She's my sister."
"You're lying." Rorschach leaned forward slightly and looked into Priest's eyes, "Dana, she doesn't have siblings at all. ”
There was a moment of grief in Priest's eyes, and he tilted his head and pursed his mouth tightly.
Rorschach stared at Priest, and it could be seen that Priest and Dana should have a brother and sister relationship. He thought about it for a while, decided to make a different breakthrough, and casually flipped through the blue folder.
"Priest, do you know what you've done? You will be charged with kidnapping, unlawful detention, and many other crimes, which are felonies and will be sentenced to at least 20 years. ”
"What?" Priest looked at Rorschach and his face turned ugly.
"Now you know the consequences are serious?" Rorschach closed the blue folder and smiled, "Next, I hope you can answer my questions well, and maybe I will reduce the charges against you as appropriate." ”
Priest lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Rorschach.
"Sheriff, please let me out, Dana's murderer hasn't been punished yet!"
Rorschach shook his head, it seemed that Priest hadn't figured out the current situation yet, and he could understand his feelings about wanting to find out the cause of Dana's death, but that wasn't the reason why Priest could commit a crime in Sleepy Town.
"Priest, you'd better answer my question well, about Dana's case, please trust me, I will definitely give you a result."
"Trust you?" Priest stared at him.
The two looked at each other like this.
After a moment, Priest slowly grinned sarcastically.
"Craig told me that Dana's killer was an evil spirit, so may I ask the sheriff, how can an ordinary person like you go about catching evil spirits? Although your skills are good, they are only for ordinary people, and you have no way to ...... in front of evil spirits."
He took a breath and continued:
"Let me out, I'll kill it and avenge Dana!"
"Evil spirits......
Rorschach shook his head, in his opinion Priest was not a bad person, at most just a fool carried away by hatred, plus an unlucky one. It may be that in other places, Priest can carry out an act of revenge with his abilities, but in Sleepy Town, he cannot.
He looked at Priest, thought for a moment, and came up with a plan again.
"Priest, if you can get Craig's understanding, I can help you settle out of court with him."
"Understand!?" Priest threw his head back into a burst of hysterical laughter. Laughing, he gasped, his chest heaving, revealing a fierce look, "Why do I need his forgiveness?" He can't get out of Dana's death! ”
Rorschach frowned and squinted slightly, he felt that it was a little difficult to communicate with the guy in front of him.
Priest leaned back in his chair, stared at Rorschach, and suddenly laughed.
"Sheriff, do you really want to know how I can make your men forget what I look like?"
"Yes." Rorschach nodded, he was intrigued by Priest's abilities.
"Okay." Priest smiled, stretched out his right index finger, pointed at Rorschach, and said slowly, "This is an ability I was born with." ”
"Oh?" Rorschach narrowed his eyes, "So it's a supernatural ability?" ”
"Almost...... But the old folks in the church call it God-given power. ”
As soon as Priest's words fell, suddenly his eyes widened, and an inexplicable strange sound came out of his mouth.
Rorschach felt a trance, and then he saw Priest's eyes light up.
Immediately after, on Priest's eyeball, a golden symbol consisting of two arcs appeared.
This golden symbol resembles the "Jesus Fish" symbol, with two arcs aligned at the beginning and staggered at the end.
It is said that the "Jesus Fish" symbol was first used by Christians to escape religious persecution in the Roman Empire, and they used this symbol to identify each other, which means Christ, the Son of God, and the Savior.
Under Priest's gaze, Rorschach was stunned for a moment, but it was not because of the golden symbol in Priest's eyes, but because of the prompt text that kept popping up in the corner of his vision.
(The Power of Light detected...... )
(The Power of Light detected...... )
Rorschach was shocked!
