"I didn't expect it to be you, Dark, I thought it was just a duplicate name. Being able to sit in the position of the head of the Holy City Inquisition has also opened up a piece of the world, which impresses me. ”

"Mutual friend, Mr. Morse, it's time for you to be promoted to sheriff, right?"

"Thanks to you, it's fine. ”

That's right, the bearded middle-aged man in front of him is Dark's first boss, Morse, a veteran police officer at the Port Snell Police Station. When Duck joined the company, he experienced the difficulties of the workplace.

The two recognized each other, compensated the boss for the damage, and then went to the inquisition together, and Fernandez did not follow.

In the small conference room of the inquisition, Duck invited Morse to sit down and poured him a cup of coffee: "I was young and ignorant, and I caused you a lot of trouble, please forgive me." ”

"The biggest trouble is that everyone thinks you're dead. I think it's a pity that a promising young man is planted on Alcatraz Island. ”

"I didn't have a chance to explain to you afterwards, I'm really sorry - is it considered a death in the line of duty?

Morse laughed, "It's all in my place." Your sister also ran away the day after the incident, and no one knows where she went, so I will help you take it out and save it. ”

Duck was awe-inspiring: "Then let's return it to the finance." I don't take advantage of the country. ”

The two laughed together.

After laughing, Morse said, "Now, you can understand why I abandoned my father, right?"

"I don't understand. ”

"He's a fanatical god, and he's always thinking of noble gods, great gods. In his view, the ascetic life was a ladder to heaven. His greatest hobby was to see the bad luck of those who did not follow the rules, and then triumphantly proclaimed that peace of mind was the only home. ”

Duck silently took a sip of his coffee, and he suddenly realized that Isabella was right and should not be involved in other people's family affairs.

But Morse opened up the conversation: "He never cared about me and my mother. When my mother died, he repeatedly asked if the funeral was etiquette. ”

"Perhaps...... Perhaps, as a true believer, he hopes that the people he loves will also live up to his own standards?"

Morse spread his hands: "I don't know, and I don't want to know." I am not willing to be his vassal, I want to leave him, leave the dogma that he enshrines as the golden rule, I have my way. ”

Duck leaned forward slightly: "Do you know how many 'I's' you just said?"

"What do you mean?"

"In my experience, the guy who repeatedly emphasizes 'me' is likely to be mentally ill or paranoid. ”

"So isn't it right to use paranoia to deal with paranoia?"

"That's right, let me ask you another question, are you married, do you have children?"

"Can I rhetorically ask your position on this question?"

"It's not a forced question, you don't have to answer, I mean, if the answer is no, does it mean, what are you retaliating against?"

Morse was suddenly dumb.

Darker gave him a sympathetic look: "It turns out that you didn't realize it yourself. Do you think that all women in the world are ordinary fat powders, without the slightest merit, or do you think that your ability is too poor to support a family?"

"Of course not. ”

"I'll tell you why, you're scared. ”

"What do I have to fear!"

"You're scared of being like Mr. Fernández. Even if you choose another path in life, you know what's wrong and you don't know what's right—you don't know how to be a good husband and a good father. ”

Morse was silent.

"Father is not dispensable, he may die, but the shadow is always there. I lost my father when I was very young, but I still remember his bent back and the sweat on his cheeks from overwork, and he could not read or write, but he would try to pretend to be as elegant as possible in front of me, and he would talk about what it was like to be a 'superior person'. I even used to look down on him, but then, in the nostalgia for him, I became who I am now. It seems that our understanding of fathers and men is a little different. ”

Morse was a little unimpressed: "Dark, although you are already the head of the Inquisition, I have seen more joys and sorrows than you have - thank you for all that you have done for my family." ”

The subtext of this sentence is: This is Lao Tzu's family matter, and you have enough to meddle with it to this extent.

"Of course, I don't care, but it will affect the perception of you—do you say that this will affect the fulfillment of your mission?

The atmosphere froze suddenly.

After a while, Morse said slowly, "How do you know?"

"I'm gone, but the intelligence network is still there. As a political star who is now in the limelight on the mainland, how can he not consider the reactions of all sides? Doland will definitely send someone to contact me, but I didn't expect you to come. ”

"The individual is the individual, and the right thing is the right thing. ”

Duck smiled slyly, "No, it seems to me that if a person is good, then he probably won't do anything bad, and vice versa." I don't care about you, but Mr. Fernández is my important subordinate, he has no intention of working, and I am also very embarrassed as a superior, so how can I talk to you about 'business'?"

"You lie. ”

"That's right, I'm lying. But does it make a difference to you? Or would you tell Dorland to come with someone else?"

Morse held his breath in his throat and almost didn't come up.

Lao Tzu is a person who does great things, and he can't be as knowledgeable as this villain.

Morse said, "Okay, then, what shall I do? Go and kneel down and ask the old man for forgiveness?"

"An apology is necessary, but both parties are at fault, and I don't want to see you take the bitter wine of memories as if you were three meals a day, and take this. Duck pulled a stack of bills out of his bosom and handed it over.

"What is this?"

"Take your old man to play in the city of Lorma for three days, and all the expenses will be mine, but you are not allowed to use my banner. My men will keep an eye on you, and within three days, if the old man doesn't say a word, don't even think of getting anything from me!"

Morse stared at Duck in a daze, like a saint and like a fool. Finally, he snorted coldly, grabbed the banknotes, said goodbye, and went out.

Isabella quietly came out of the cubicle: "Dark, you are ......"

"Lala, contact Royce and Petrarch, mobilize the intelligence forces of R•R and B•B, and within three days, find out the details of this guy, I want to know who is standing behind him and what he is going to do!"

"Isn't it the Dorland royal family behind him?"

"If only it were that simple, the issue of the establishment of the prince of the Dorand Kingdom has become more and more of a trouble - two princes and one princess, how good do you say the king's old man gave birth to one in the first place!"

"What does this have to do with us?"

"It doesn't have much to do with us, but it has to do with Urbino. ”

Isabella was taken aback: "Will the loser take the risk of seeking Urbino's dangerous techniques?"

"Do you think the victor will not? The new king ascended the throne, what a good decoration the victory of a foreign war is, and what a powerful guarantee of godly and godly, unfathomable technology!" Duck gritted his teeth, "Originally, at my pace, with the method of reform, it won't be long before no one believes Urbino's set, and he will be stubborn, this time it's good!"
