19. Rita's death

Qiao Wei explained to Father Doug from the beginning of the murder of Bob Quinn, and then went on to explain all the investigations I had conducted with him throughout the day, including my encounter with Rita's incarnate "goddess" and her guidance on punishing the blaster who killed the old lady.

Father Doug frowned from beginning to end, and when Qiao Wei mentioned the goddess, the priest's body trembled obviously, but his expression did not change much.

His reaction revealed a message to me that he seemed to know that Rita had incarnated as a goddess and might even know more about the truth.

After Qiao Wei's explanation, Father Doug was still frowning and silent, and it was not until Qiao Wei asked him about Rita that he looked up in a daze.

"Rita...... Rita She ...... Ay! Father Doug stopped talking, as if he had something unspeakable.

"Father, we can now be sure that Rita is dead, and that her ghost has become a goddess who is tricking others into murder. While it is true that those who were killed should also be killed, those who were bewitched by Rita's revenant, they were innocent! ”

Qiao Wei's words clearly touched Father Doug, the corners of his mouth moved, and his eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and this change in expression seemed to have exceeded his sympathy for the innocent, and I even read a sense of guilt in his expression.

"Those two murderers, they probably come to this church a lot! You ask him if it's true! I suddenly thought of this, and immediately asked Qiao Wei to ask the priest questions on my behalf.

Qiao Wei nodded, then translated my question to Father Doug in detail, and explained the names and appearance of the two angel killers to the priest.

This time Father Doug reacted even stronger, closing his eyes in agony and whispering as he drew a cross on his chest: "Please God forgive me, please God forgive me......"

Obviously, I'm right again.

In addition, Rita's transformation into a goddess and the two murders of angels in quick succession are also related to this church, and Father Doug knows absolutely the truth of the matter - the answer is right in front of him!

Father Doug's whispered prayer lasted for two minutes before stopping, he sighed heavily, then looked at Qiao Wei and said, "The first time I saw Rita was in this church, she was undressed, her hair and body were covered with mud, her arms and legs were also wounded, she was stealing from me, and she was like a frightened beast when I found her. I can't imagine what happened to her, all I could do was help her as much as I could, find her some clothes, food, and a place to sleep in peace......"

Rita had her real name at the Mutual Aid Society, and she was indeed French, but as her glamorous and sexy outfit suggested, her profession was not glamorous, she was a street girl.

No matter what country they are in, prostitutes will always be a high-risk profession, because they will never know what kind of business their customers do, whether there are perverts and killers among these customers.

Rita didn't meet a pervert or a murderer, but that doesn't mean she's lucky. Once she brought a man who looked fine back to her home, but just as she was stripping naked, the man ran and opened the door, and then four more men burst into the house and assaulted Rita, and then robbed her of all her belongings.

Rita was unwilling to be humiliated like this, so she chose to resist, only to be dragged downstairs and stuffed into the car by the five men.

Rita had no idea of what had happened after that, and when the five men were finally willing to let her go, she found that she was no longer in France, and she had no choice but to break into a church, where she met Father Doug.

A tormented woman doesn't trust anyone, especially men, but Father Doug's kindness relieves Rita of her guard, and Zuihou is finally willing to tell Father Doug everything that has happened to her.

With the help of Father Doug, Rita gradually recovered and returned to China. A year later, Rita returned to London and made a special trip to Father Doug to thank her, saying that she had reported the case when she returned to France, and that the five men who had committed violence against her had been brought to justice.

Father Doug felt that what Rita had been going through was meaningful, so he recommended that Rita go to the mutual aid society next door, so that she could help the women there who had suffered similar incidents to her to come out of the shadows.

Rita also felt that this was a very, very meaningful thing, so she decided to live in London and spare no effort to help the women who came to the mutual aid society, Zhang Lu was one of them.

In addition to helping Zhang Lu come out of the shadows, Rita often took Zhang Lu to Father Doug, and Father Doug also forgave Zhang Lu in the name of God for the "sins" he thought he had committed.

Gradually, Zhang Lu was no longer as pessimistic as she was at the beginning, and she gradually came out of the shadows, but she didn't want to go to the police to report the crime, no matter how Rita persuaded her, she was unwilling.

Father Doug thinks that this may have something to do with Zhang Lu's character, she can come out of the shadows, but she doesn't want her affairs to be known, and Zhang Lu is reluctant to say what she really thinks during confessions in the church. Of course, whether to report the case or not is Zhang Lu's own business, neither Father Doug nor Rita can interfere, everything has to be decided by Zhang Lu, since she herself is unwilling, others can't force it.

Then ten years ago, things suddenly took a turn and Bob Quinn went to jail for rape and murder!

This incident had a great impact on Zhang Lu, and although she herself did not say anything, both Rita and Father Doug found out about the connection, and they speculated that the man who sexually assaulted Zhang Lu a few years ago was Bob Quinn.

I thought that justice would be done this time, but only a few days later, Bob Quinn was acquitted because the key witness died of an accident due to illness!

Rita couldn't be silent any longer, she took the initiative to find Zhang Lu, and made everything clear to her face, saying that she knew that Bob Quinn was the man who attacked Zhang Lu back then, and also persuaded Zhang Lu to stand up bravely. At this time, Zhang Lu admitted that the person who abused her was indeed Bob Quinn, but Zhang Lu was still reluctant to report the case, because it had been so many years, even if she stood up now, it would be useless, and they had no evidence to prove Quinn's guilt.

Zhang Lu's words are not unreasonable, but Rita doesn't want to see Bob Quinn get away with it, and a similar experience makes her want to do justice for Zhang Lu no matter what, so she makes a decision, which ultimately cost her her life, and at the same time makes Zhang Lu completely different.
