The Story of the Seventh World (18)
"Yaheng is my friend, is this reason okay?" Corporal Lynn said, looking at Inspector Upton.
"Alright! The initial inspection of the site is over, and I am about to go to the scene to see what new discoveries are made," Inspector Upton said, nodding.
After Inspector Upton finished speaking, he saw the fat policeman who walked in from the main entrance of the hospital to explain a few words, and walked out of the hall on the first floor of the hospital with Corporal Lynn.
Coming to the main entrance of the hospital, Inspector Upton walked towards a car, Su Hang and several people followed, Inspector Upton sat directly in the co-pilot of the convertible, and a low-stature policeman started the car beside him.
The color of the car is bright red, and in Su Hang's opinion, the old convertible that can be put in the museum is the most fashionable now. Su Hang's memories from another world made him understand what antiques were.
Su Hang and Corporal Lynn sat in the back of the convertible, leaning on the backrest and feeling okay, there would be no uncomfortable feeling.
"Corporal, I just got a call, and Second Lieutenant Avery told me to go find him." Osmond, who had disappeared in the hall on the first floor of the hospital just now, suddenly appeared beside Su and Hangzhou.
"Ensign, did he have any assignments?"
"I didn't say it, I just asked me to go to him." Osmond said he didn't know anything but that the second lieutenant wanted to see him.
"Okay, you take care of things first, let's go to the scene of the crime," Corporal Lynn said, sitting in the car.
Osmond and Corporal Lynn walked briskly out of the hospital and headed across the street.
Looking at Osmond's figure disappearing at the door of the hospital, Corporal Lynn looked at Inspector Upton, who was sitting in front of him, and said, "Let's go too!"
"Okay, let's go!" Superintendent Upton said, looking at the officer in the driver's seat.
The car drove away from the hospital smoothly and quickly, in the opposite direction that Osmond had just left.
An hour ago, the living room of the main building of Roberts Manor:
A steaming cup of coffee was placed on the coffee table, and Dean Charles sat on the sofa in the latest pajamas, dragging the newspaper in his left hand and spreading the whole sheet in his right hand, looking at the latest "Daily Telegraph" today.
"Jingle bell!" The ringing of the telephone broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the room in an instant, and looking at the ringing phone, the dean said to himself that it was best to give me a good reason, otherwise I would let the caller go to the front.
Chapter 43: The Church of Godlight
.
"Jingle bell!" The phone rang one after another, and Dean Charles was disturbed by this sudden phone ringing, his face sank, and he thought in his heart that if this was not an important matter, then the one who called, I would definitely make you unlucky.
Although I am not happy, I am still thinking in my heart, but I still have to answer the phone, in case there is something important!
"I'm Charles, who?"
"Dean, I'm Ralph, and I've found the news you want." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
"The tattoo?"
"Yes, Dean."
"A tattoo on the chest of a man with no scalp and blood on his knees, first appeared in the Netherlands and two years ago in West Sussex, in the south of England, mainly in the Chichester region."
"The tattoo belongs to an organization called 1 'Church of the Divine Light,' and they promote 'The End of the World and the Ascension of the Soul,' and their peripheral members have that tattoo on their chest." Ralph's thick voice passed through the microphone with a very clear and even a little deafening.
"Why did they come to London?" Dean Charles asked in a deep voice.
"It's not clear, it took a long time to get the news," Ralph said he had done his best.
"Any other news about that?"
"Sussex officials once organized a siege against them because a local nobleman spread doomsday rhetoric and even burned his family who prevented him to death, and the nobleman then set himself on fire and died, telling everyone before he knew he was going to repent to the light." Ralph tells the story of a real incident that has happened about the Church of the Light.
"The encirclement failed, didn't it?" Dean Charles asked, taking a sip of coffee.
"No, most of the personnel of the 'Divine Light Church' in that area died, none survived, they more died by self-immolation when they couldn't escape, and only a few escaped." Ralph said.
"Can you find out which country they are in?"
"No one knows in which country and region their base camp is. Their leader in Sussex, Wayne, fled, and there was nothing to gain at the time except a pile of ashes," Ralph told the Dean what he had learned.
"Ahh By the way, there is a quote that Wayne said, 'The catastrophe that is happening in the world today is no accident, and we are approaching the terrible end of the world in the book of Revelation in the Bible.' He said that only by joining the great 'Church of God's Light' could he avoid the apocalypse. The sound of flipping through a paper could be heard on the other end of the phone.
"You said that the tattoos of their peripheral members are people who have no scalp and are covered in blood and are kneeling on the ground, so do the insiders also have tattoos? What is it like? Dean Charles suddenly remembered the tattoo that Ralph had mentioned at the beginning, and asked.
According to the information received, in Sussex County, in addition to the leader Wayne, only two leaders of the cult are insiders, and the rest are peripheral members. The three men ran away, and it was the perimeter members who died, and no one knew if the insiders had tattoos, and even if anyone did, they had turned to ashes," Ralph said as he flipped through the information on the other side of the phone.
"Dean, I have arranged for someone to send you a copy of the information I have found, which contains images of the time and more detailed events that took place in Sussex. There is also a small number of records of events that have occurred in the Netherlands. Ralph said.
"Okay, I'll deposit your money with Britannia Bank." Dean Charles admired Ralph's ability to get things done, even if it didn't bring him more important news this time.
Just as Dean Charles was about to hang up the phone, Ralph on the other end of the phone suddenly said: "Dean, when my people were investigating this cult, they found that the Secret Intelligence Bureau was also secretly investigating. ”
"Are you sure?" Hearing the news suddenly, the tone became heavier in an instant.
"Dean, those guys' weapons and equipment can be said to be the best in the whole of Britain, and they are internationally famous for their eavesdropping and assassination, how could I not know."
"Not to mention one of them, I've seen it with you. In the kit given to you, there are photos of them, not very clear but recognizable who they are. Ralph said with certainty, sure he wouldn't admit his mistake.
"Okay, I'll pay you another when I confirm this news." Charles said he wouldn't treat the people who worked for him badly.
"That's great! Dean. For this news, Ralph did not have the idea of receiving benefits, but now it is a surprise.
"Okay, I'll hang up first if I have something here" After speaking, he hung up the phone first. Hanging the receiver back on the phone, Charles sat on the couch and pondered, thinking about the news that Ralph had brought.
The person who attacked his son was obviously aimed at himself, obviously he could kill his son without killing him but only hurting him, or he was going to kidnap, in order to coerce himself, the failure of the mission caused the other party to be impatient, and directly ordered the killer, and the killer is related to the cult, then this matter is not easy to do, after all, those people are crazy neurotics, but I am not sure if they will do something.
Thinking of this, Dean Charles immediately picked up the phone and called Second Lieutenant Avery, and there were soldiers in the hospital in the city of London who were watching the phone so that they could inform the second lieutenant in the Police Department at any time.
The call was received by the guards of the soldiers, and Dean Charles directly gave an order to the soldiers to monitor the entire hospital all day, not to relax their vigilance against any stranger, and to guard the hospital in shifts to prevent accidents from happening at all times.
"Jingle bell!" A phone rang rapidly in the public office area of the Metropolitan Police Department, and a young man in a police uniform with glasses picked up the phone and asked, "This is the Metropolitan Police Department, who are you looking for?" ”
"Is Ensign Avery from Irishtown here?"
"Sir, Second Lieutenant Avery is in the superintendent's office, do you have anything important?" The young man had an obvious point, and if there was nothing important, he should not disturb the conversation of the chiefs.
"I'm Charles Roberts." Dean Charles didn't talk nonsense to the other party, and directly reported his name.
"Please wait, Dean Charles." With that, the officer gently put the phone on the table and ran to the superintendent's office.
"Knock knock!" The officer knocked on the door of the first office on the second floor, and after hearing the echo of the invitation inside, he opened the door and walked in.
The superintendent's office is a suite, and the entrance door is a 5-square-meter room, except for a wooden table and stools placed near the door, only a set of old European-style sofas leaning against the window, and another hanger hanging clothes alone in the corner.
Behind the wooden table sat a young woman under thirty years old in a police uniform, not ugly but whose appearance was lowered by freckles, and her London accent could be seen as a local. Behind the policewoman is the inner room of the suite, which is also the superintendent's office, and the outer room is like a communication room. The policewoman looked at the officer who walked in the door and asked, "Officer Chard, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Miss Beverly, you're more beautiful than yesterday." Chad looked at the policewoman and praised her, the entire police department knew that she was a stinky and beautiful woman, and if she didn't praise her when she met, she would roll her eyes for a day.
1. Divine Light Church: Taken from the Sun Temple Cult, it integrates multiple modern cults on the original basis.
Time spent in conversation with each other, although the current London has not yet reached the point where there are cars everywhere, but after all, it is the capital of the United Kingdom There are still a lot of cars, and the wealthy and noble people in the upper class almost have a car in every house, and the bus and the pedestrians on the road are still crowded on the road, and the car arrives at its destination after traveling for half an hour.
The car drove to the crime scene on Oxford Street, and as the car approached the crime scene, there were more people muttering to each other in scattered groups. As for the topic they were talking about, they didn't have to think about it to know that it was the store they were going to in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
At the door of the shop at the scene of the crime, the police had already set up a cordon, and there were several policemen guarding the door next to the cordon, and it was strictly forbidden for idlers to approach.
Su Hang and Corporal Lynn were the first to get out of the car, and Inspector Upton sat in the passenger seat and explained something to the short policeman.
Su Hang got out of the car and looked at the second-floor shop in front of him, from the outside, it was not very big, and the first and second floors combined were about 500 square meters. A very ordinary shop, which does not stand out much compared to the surrounding shops, if anything, is the windows on the second floor, which are characteristic of Gothic architecture, and the large windows are painted with Bible stories.
Su Hang looked at the surrounding shops again, and several around John's store were open, and there were also those that should not be open. It stands to reason that there should be no closure in such a good location, but in the past two years, due to the impact of the world war, social security has been declining, and some shops are often harassed.
Su Hang observed that there was a one-meter-wide distance between the shops and the shops, and the vacant "small alleys" between the houses were placed with some sundries or garbage cans, and the end of the aisle was sealed. ”
"Can you go over the backyard and the backyard?" Su Hang turned his head to face Corporal Lynn, touched his chin and asked.
"Trained people should be able to." Before Corporal Lynn could speak, Inspector Upton heard Su Hang's words when he got out of the car and came to Su Hang's side, and said casually.
Su Hang nodded and didn't say anything, just looked at the closed shop to the right of John's shop, thought thoughtfully, and followed Corporal Lynn's side.
"Was the scene cordoned off in the first place?" Just as Su Hang was thinking about things and looking around the store, Corporal Lynn, who was beside him, asked Inspector Upton, who had just gotten out of the car.
"Yes, it won't take more than ten minutes from the time the groom finds it to the time the patrol officers block the scene." Inspector Upton said as he pointed to the shop window directly opposite the entrance of the store, saying: "The patrol officer happened to be there at that time, and he saw a middle-aged man running out of the store opposite in a panic, and when he saw him, he shouted loudly that someone was injured, and the patrol officer ran into the store after him. ”
"Is that middle-aged man a groom, and what else did he see?" Corporal Lynn said.
"The groom saw only the two of them in the house, and no one else."
"However, it cannot be said that there were no other people hiding in the house at that time, and the groom ran out because he was frightened, and did not pay much attention to the rest of the house." Inspector Upton told the groom about his condition.
