20, Rita's Death (II)

Rita believes that the reason why there are men like Bob Quinn on Shijie who are lawless and continue to do evil is because there are too many women like Zhang Lu, and if women don't get strong and brave, then there is no way to fight these evils.

But now Zhang Lu is unwilling to stand up, so Rita decides to stand up instead of Zhang Lu!

Just like Zhang Lu said, a long time has passed, and she can't come up with any evidence to prove that she has been violated by Bob Quinn, if she stands up to testify against Quinn now, Zuihou will not only be unable to tighten Quinn's prison, but will also be bitten back by Quinn and turned into a false accusation.

Zhang Lu can't afford such a result, but Rita is not afraid, since standing up at this time can only get a false accusation, it is better to simply make a real false accusation.

Rita asked Zhang Lu to explain in detail the incident of being sexually assaulted by Bob Quinn, and then she completely covered the experience on herself, and then ran to the police station to accuse Bob Quinn.

Zhang Lu didn't want Rita to take the lead for her, because it was definitely a losing lawsuit.

But Rita didn't listen to Zhang Lu at all, and asked Zhang Lu to cooperate with her no matter what, and Zuihou and the two of them even got into trouble with Father Doug.

Father Doug didn't want Rita to do that, but he didn't want a wicked person like Bob Quinn to get away with it. After much consideration, Father Doug suggested that Rita not sue Quinn directly, but to break the news to the media in an anonymous letter, or with the help of the Internet as a platform.

Father Doug's words still carried weight in Rita's heart, and she took Father Dough's advice to break the news to the media, but instead of writing an anonymous letter, she went to the newspaper herself, hoping to make things seem more real, even though she was indeed "falsely accusing" Bob Quinn.

But what happened next did not go according to Rita's intentions, and the newspaper knew very well that there was no evidence to check for so many years, so they did not turn Rita's "revelations" into newspaper articles.

Rita was completely enraged by this result, she ignored the dissuasion of Zhang Lu and Father Doug, and ran directly to the police station to report the crime, whether it was a false accusation or not, she wanted to get Bob Quinn into the police station again and push him to the top of the storm!

But what Rita didn't expect was that she failed again, and this time she was so completely defeated that she lost the opportunity to challenge again.

On the day she went to the police station, Rita disappeared.

Three days later, at midnight, Father Doug heard a loud bang on the door of the church, and he got up to check on the door, only to find a headless corpse thrown outside the church door! Although he did not know what the deceased looked like, Father Doug recognized the clothes on the deceased's body, which Rita had been wearing when she left three days earlier.

Father Doug's first instinct was to call the police, but he suddenly noticed that there was a letter on Rita's body. He picked up the letter and read it, and the content was very simple: "If you continue to pester, then the next headless corpse lying at the door of your church will be that Chinese woman!" ”

The letter was printed and unsigned, but Father Doug knew very well who wrote it, and he knew that the police could not be relied upon.

The key witness died suddenly under the protection of the police, and Rita went to the police to report the case and disappeared, and then was killed! Both incidents were linked to the police station, so Father Doug could not trust the police, and if he reported the crime, then the next unlucky person would probably be Zhang Lu, so Father Doug made the worst decision - to hide everything.

Father Doug buried Rita's headless body in the mausoleum in the basement of the church, where he held a miniature funeral for her, and in order to keep this secret and protect Zhang Lu, the priest only told Zhang Lu about Rita's death.

Zhang Lu did not come to church for two years after that, and when she appeared in front of Father Doug again, Zhang Lu was like a different person, she became cheerful, able to speak, and willing to help others, which should have been a happy thing, but Father Doug soon realized that this was not the case.

Once, Father Doug asked Zhang Lu if he was still thinking about avenging Rita, but Zhang Lu looked at the priest with strange eyes and asked, "Revenge?" Hasn't Rita already returned to France? Something happened to her? ”

Father Doug realized the changes that had taken place in Zhang Lu, but he didn't tell the truth.

In the years that followed, Zhang Lu continued to come to church every once in a while, and she seemed to have become a different Rita altogether, helping the women in need in the mutual aid society. Gradually, more and more women were helped by Rita to come out of the shadows, and they also formed a spontaneous mutual aid group to help more women who were abused, in addition to helping them regain their confidence in life, but also helping them to defend themselves through the law and seek justice and justice.

Seeing Zhang Lu like this, Father Doug felt that even if Zhang Lu forgot Rita's death forever, it was not necessarily a bad thing.

But a few days ago, Father Doug unexpectedly saw Zhang Lu in the crypt of the church, and this time he saw Zhang Lu was completely different from what he usually saw!

Zhang Lu's eyes were dark, her face was gloomy, and her fists were clenched tightly, she knelt in front of Rita's tombstone, and kept drawing patterns with her fingers on the tombstone.

Father Doug went over and asked Zhang Lu what was wrong, and Zhang Lu just replied coldly: "Justice must be served, and I will make him pay!" ”

Father Doug was very afraid that something would happen to Zhang Lu, but the next day, the lively and cheerful and helpful Zhang Lu appeared in the church again, which made Father Doug completely unaware of what he should do. That night, when Father Doug came to Rita's tombstone to confess, suddenly a hand gently placed on his shoulder, and at the same time, a warm and peaceful light enveloped the priest's body.

A gentle voice said to him, "The merciful Lord has forgiven your sins, you have a noble soul, and you are not a sinner." ”

Father Doug looked up suddenly, and saw Rita surrounded by warm white light.

At first Father Doug was indeed scared, but soon he calmed down again. Since Rita's soul has not left the world, it is incumbent upon a priest to pray for her to have her soul rest.

However, Father Doug's prayer did not make Rita rest in peace, but only made Rita's light shine more brightly.

Father Zuihou Doug gave up and instead asked Rita who had killed her and if there was an accomplice to Bob Quinn in the police department.

Rita did not tell the priest about the process of her killing, she only told the priest one thing, and that was that there was indeed an accomplice of Bob Quinn in the police department, and that person's name was: Daniel Brown!
