Chapter 263: The Greedy (2)

But soon, Shen Nuo wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a casual movement, the breeze was frivolous, and she shook her head: "I only heard this for you, as for where Xu Yi is now, they won't tell me." ”

Seeing Shen Nuo's expression, I didn't ask any more questions, and I was relieved to know that Xu Yi was fine. The people in Shen Nuo's mouth have followed Xu Yi since he left City B, but he lost the car twice in a row, and then the car with blood in the suburbs made me worry the most, I was afraid that those blood stains were Xu Yi's.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still squeezed out two words to Shen Nuo: "Thank you." ”

Shen Nuo: "Don't thank me, if there is any news from her, I will inform you." ”

Shen Nuo and I stood face to face, her eyes not looking at me. Shen Nuo was wearing a long skirt, and his two hands were tightly grasping the hem of the skirt.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" I asked.

Shen Nuo raised his head, Shen Nuo's pupils were clear, reflecting the bright moonlight in the night. In the end, Shen Nuo raised the corners of his mouth: "It's nothing, don't be too tired." After Shen Nuo finished speaking, he ran upstairs.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Jun still asked about Wang Xin as usual.

Knowing that Xu Yi was still alive, I had a rare good night's sleep, and the next day, I met with Shen Cheng at the agreed time. He took two plainclothes policemen with him, and then we went to the church that the residents were talking about. It's quiet in the church, it's not a weekend, and there are very few people in the church.

There are not many large churches in Chongqing, and the one we came to is very small. The church also has only two floors, the first floor is a hall for preaching, and the second floor is the office of the congregation and the priest. Shen Cheng called the church staff directly, and we were looking for the pastor, but the staff member said that the pastor had left Chongqing yesterday.

"Where did you go?" Shen Cheng asked.

The staff member said he didn't know, saying he had only heard that the pastor had been invited to preach from other places, and that no one knew exactly where he went.

The sudden departure of a priest at this sensitive time seems very unusual. Shen Cheng showed his ID and asked to search the place, and after the priest left, several staff members were able to call the shots, and they didn't dare to offend Shen Cheng and agreed directly.

Soon we came to the pastor's office, which was small, but the walls were covered with images of Jesus and a cross. The staff told us that the church currently has more than 100 congregants, most of whom live not far from the church, and can be reached on foot or by bus.

After Shen Cheng entered the office, he directly opened the drawer of the desk, and he wanted to find clues inside. Sure enough, Shen Cheng quickly turned to a notebook, which was the account book of the church's expenses. Shen Cheng flipped through quickly, and after a while, Shen Cheng's eyes fell on a page of the notebook.

Shen Cheng smiled slightly: "It seems that things are very clear." ”

Shen Cheng threw the ledger in his hand to me, and he read the page that recorded the estimated use of a donated amount.

"What is this?" I frowned and asked the staff.

The staff was very cooperative, and after glancing at the ledger: "A rich man donated a sum of money to the church anonymously. After soliciting everyone's opinions, the pastor is going to take a portion to help the members of the church. After discussion, the pastor made a list of several situations in which he could apply for funding, and those were recorded in the ledger.

Each case is followed by a few names, which are the projects that some poor people choose to apply for according to their own circumstances. However, in the box behind each item, there is Luo Danan's name! What those residents said was true, Luo Danan's family was indeed very greedy.

If it was an opportunity for ordinary people to get funding, they would definitely be very grateful, but Luo Danan applied for every project in order to get more money.

"How long has Luo Danan's family been religious?" Shen Cheng asked.

The staff thought carefully: "It's been more than a year. ”

"How is it?" Shen Cheng asked again, afraid that the staff would go around the bend, Shen Cheng confessed in advance: "When it comes to murder, to be honest." ”

Seeing Shen Cheng's solemn face, the staff didn't dare to lie. He told us that Luo Danan's family was also notoriously greedy in the church, and that he and his wife, Chen Zhaodi, were ostensibly religious, but every time the church had a project, they would try their best to get more money.

Even, even a child as young as Luo Kang was taken away by Luo Danan and Chen Zhaodi, and Luo Kang often snatched other people's things in the process of getting along with other children.

Many believers don't like them, including pastors. During the ministry, the pastor repeatedly reminded the family of this, but their greedy appearance did not improve at all. The pastor is a man in his forties, about the same age as Luo Danan, and after saying it several times, Luo Danan still refuses to change, and the pastor doesn't bother to care about them.

And this time, Luo Danan once again greedily filled in the application for all the projects, which made the pastor furious, just a few days ago, the pastor called Luo Danan to the office alone, and after a while, there was a quarrel in the office. Soon, Luo Danan's face was flushed, and he walked out of the church angrily.

When Shen Cheng heard this, he immediately called the pastor according to the phone number said by the staff, but the pastor did not answer.

"Tell me to go down, find the priest, and if you refuse, arrest me directly." Shen Cheng gave the order, and the accompanying criminal police immediately went to do it.

Coming out of the church, Shen Cheng and I stood on top of a dam, and at a glance, all the small houses scattered nearby came into view.

"You're going to lose." The zipper of Shen Cheng's clothes was not closed, the wind was blowing, and his clothes were dancing in the wind, just like his tone, full of domineering.

Everything went on as Shen Cheng speculated, the pastor was indeed very suspicious, I couldn't find any reason to overturn Shen Cheng's inference, and even, hearing Shen Cheng's analysis, I myself thought that this was a religious murder incident: the religious pastor killed Luo Danan's family because of the serious crimes of the church.

According to Shen Cheng's inference, the pastor also united with Chen Zhaodi first to trick Luo Danan into the construction site. The pastor had prepared the banknotes pressed with small stones in advance at the construction site, and Luo Danan walked step by step to the position designed by the pastor. The moment I looked up, the boulder fell......

At the beginning, the pastor's target was only Luo Danan, because the most short-tempered greedy person was only Luo Danan. Chen Zhaodi believes in religion, and it is very easy for the pastor to coax her, and if he uses money to induce her, Chen Zhaodi will be even more desperate. But then, the pastor was afraid that the deeds would be exposed, so he became murderous again.

Everything seemed to be reasonable, and when Shen Cheng saw that I didn't answer, he laughed: "What, is the famous Professor Li going to admit defeat?" ”

I came back to my senses, and Shen Cheng's reasoning was indeed very likely to be true, but I always felt that something was strange.

"The figures that look like two people on the construction site, and how the explosion occurred, are not clearly explained, and it is too early to solve the case and win or lose." I said.

Shen Cheng: "I said, it's useless for you to be stubborn, soon, I will solve all the mysteries." ”

I was about to answer Shen Cheng, Shen Cheng's mobile phone rang, Shen Cheng answered the phone with a calm expression, and after hanging up, the confidence on Shen Cheng's face was even greater: "Professor Li, I said, I'm going to win." ”

It turned out that through the police investigation, the pastor's home happened to live diagonally opposite Luo Danan's house. I have carefully noticed that there are three floors, one floor higher than Luo Danan's house, and the decoration is relatively good, not for particularly poor people. The police's discovery made Shen Cheng's inference more likely.

The pastor's house lived there, and it would be easier for him to sneak into Luo Danan's house at night and get his hands on the gas canister. Second, he and Luo Danan live so closely, whether it is conspiring with Chen Zhaodi or observing the whereabouts of these three people, they are very advantageous.

After Shen Cheng laughed, he didn't say a word, and drove directly to the pastor's house.

When we arrived, the detectives were already searching the pastor's house. Shen Cheng and I joined the search, and after a while, a large number of books on mechanics and other physics were searched.

When I read these books, my heart beat violently, did I really lose? But it was at that moment that I suddenly understood how the explosion was created......
