3. Blade of Punishment
Berning explained the purpose of her visit, but Qiao Wei still had some reservations and only told her that we were also here to investigate the strange murder that happened yesterday, and as for the speculation about Eros and the fact that I was being pursued by the gods, Qiao Wei chose not to say a word.
Berning was not surprised by Qiao Wei's answer, as if she had already guessed what we were here to do the moment she saw Qiao Wei.
"And what did you find?" Berning also went straight to the point and asked.
Qiao Wei shook his head at her, "I haven't found anything so far, do you have any clues?" β
"Are you going to work with me?" This time it was Berning's turn to sell off.
"If we can improve efficiency, I don't think there's anything wrong with cooperation!" Qiao Wei replied happily.
"What about you?" Berning looked at me and asked, "We cooperate, do you have any opinions?" β
I wouldn't have a problem with one more person joining the investigation, but I still don't know how to tell if someone is an undercover agent possessed by God, which is the only reason I am suspicious of Berning, so I haven't said anything about Berning.
Berning seemed puzzled by my cold attitude, so she looked back at Qiao Wei and said, "Your friend doesn't seem to want me to join?" β
"There's a reason for that, we've had some tricky things lately, and there's no way to tell if you're friend or foe yet." Qiao Wei said honestly.
"What? Am I friend or foe? This...... Is this also a problem? Berning looked at Qiao Wei with a puzzled expression, and then looked at me.
I'm not going to explain anything to Berning, but Qiao Wei is caught in the middle and is a little torn.
"Hey, forget it, since your friend doesn't want me to join, I'll investigate it alone. But for the sake of friends, I'll tell you some clues that I think are more valuable, and maybe you can find something out of them. β
"What clues?" Qiao Wei immediately asked.
"There are two!" Berning stretched out two fingers and said: "First, the violin artist who killed yesterday is now in a mental hospital, if you borrow your father's name or directly use your family identity to meet him, I think you should be able to talk to him face to face!" Second, the girl who witnessed the murder yesterday is now living in the Royal Hospital, as if she were a star. β
"You've already seen these two people?" Qiao Wei asked again.
Berning first sighed heavily, then spread his hands and said, "If only I had your background, now I just heard these two news, and it will be troublesome to meet these two people!" I thought I could use your relationship to meet these two people when I met you, but you still refused to let me join. β
Berning's complaint didn't win me sympathy, and I shook my head at Qiao Wei to indicate my decision.
Qiao Wei nodded at me, and then smiled apologetically at Berning, "Thank you for the clues, when we solve the trouble at hand and know how to distinguish friend from foe, I will definitely take the initiative to invite you to join us, or simply ask my dad to open a separate one-on-one tutoring class for you!" β
Berning seemed very interested in what Qiao Wei said, and her eyes lit up obviously, "What you said is true?" I mean tutorial classes! β
"Of course, but only if we solve the trouble at hand!"
βhaodeοΌ Then I'll wait for your good news, you can remember my phone number......"
Berning then left each other's phone numbers with Qiao Wei, and then nodded to me very politely to say goodbye, if she glared at me or simply ignored me, maybe I would have been okay with it, but her expression made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Wait until you have the opportunity to daoqian to her - provided that she is not a servant of God, of course.
Berning stayed here for a while at the entrance of the subway station and then went straight back to the station and left, Qiao Wei and I didn't continue to waste time here, but rushed directly to the mental hospital to meet the murderous violinist.
It didn't take much time on the road, and we were able to find the ward where the murderer was kept.
There was a policeman watching outside the ward, in addition to the police, there was also a white-haired old man dressed as a priest, Qiao Wei went over to say a few words to the priest, the priest quickly nodded to Qiao Wei, and then led Qiao Wei towards the ward, Qiao Wei also turned around and beckoned me to follow.
The police didn't stop the priest, nor did they stop Qiao Wei and me, and the three of us pushed the door straight into the ward.
The size of the ward was much larger than I had imagined, and I had the impression that the ward where the mentally ill lived was usually a hut of less than 10 square meters, with only one bed in it, but the ward we entered was much more spacious, and it looked like it had been remodeled from a large ward.
Not only is the room very large, but the furnishings inside are also rich, in addition to the normal bed, there is a table and a bookshelf, which feels like a high-class study.
Near the bookshelf, there was a man in a white hospital gown standing with his back to us, he was tall and burly, and I felt like he might have been a basketball player! Not to mention killing people with a violin, even if he is allowed to kill a person with his bare hands, I am afraid it will not be a difficult task.
"How do you feel?"
The priest asked as soon as he entered the door, and Qiao Wei was also next to me translating the novel for me.
"Oh, it's Father, I feel great!" The man in front of the bookshelf looked back as he spoke.
To my surprise, the man was very good-looking, not as fierce as I had imagined, and I also noticed that he was still holding a thick book in his hand, although I could not see the cover of the book, but I did not know that it was like a Bible.
"You mean you're still in the excitement of killing?" The priest asked.
"No!" The man immediately shook his head and said, "My heart is very calm. β
The priest glanced at Qiao Wei, then turned back to look at the man and continued to ask, "Can you tell me again that you are going to kill that man?" β
"Father Haode, God made me do this, that man is guilty, he committed a heinous crime and did not receive the punishment he deserved! So God gave me the mission of dissecting sinners, and I did what I had to accomplish! I punished the sin and saved the girl. By the way, is she okay now? If she wants to thank me, can you please tell her that she doesn't have to thank me, everything is God's will, and I am just a sword of punishment in God's hand. β
Qiao Wei translated every word of the man to me clearly, and I also understood that Weishenme would be locked up in a mental hospital, and that there was a priest here. In addition, this man's words also made me have to be vigilant, if he is under the influence of God, then this god is probably not the god of love as I had speculated before, but God!
If God really exists, and is encouraging this man to kill, then what should I do next? Are you going to kill God?
I looked at Qiao Wei suspiciously, Qiao Wei also frowned and swallowed his saliva, it seemed that this situation also stumped him!
