"I'm sorry sir, but you have to pay the entrance fee before you can enter the church district. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" A cold voice stopped Eric as he continued his steps.

The majestic cathedral is now in front of Eric's eyes, and it has a sense of solemnity. But he didn't expect it to be private territory, surrounded by high walls and a locked back door. The only way to enter the area is through the main entrance. And now he's been stopped at the door.

Eric knew that he couldn't tell Papitt's name, so he had no choice but to make up a lie: "I'm here to see a doctor, and I'm feeling a little sick." ”

The janitor looked at Eric, and then at the list of visitors on the table. His brow furrowed: "Dr. Black did not notify the patient's family to come today. ”

It turns out that the doctor here is called Blake. Eric secretly wrote down the name: "I'm sorry, due to the suddenness of my illness, I didn't make an appointment in advance. ”

The janitor was surprised when he heard this reason: "Since you know this place, you know that Dr. Black hates being disturbed the most. So he doesn't accept any patients who come in on a temporary basis. ”

Eric is annoyed to find that his lies seem to be counterproductive.

"But since you've come to Dr. Black, you must have some special illness. In case of delay, your condition will not be good. The janitor's tone seemed to have loosened, which rekindled Eric's hope.

I just listened to the other party squint his eyes and continued: "I mean, if you're here to visit, then what you do in there has nothing to do with me. ”

Eric understood what the other meant. At the end of the day, if you want to get in, you still have to buy an admission ticket. went around in a circle, and finally just returned to square one. All he did during this time was useless.

But the problem is that he doesn't have enough money to buy a ticket.

As a result, Eric could only leave the gate with the gatekeeper's disdainful eyes. He's in a terrible mood right now. And all this is to blame for the hateful Papit.

Not so long ago......

While at Kane's mansion, Eric was unable to meet Papitt immediately.

Faced with Eric's question, the kind-hearted Earl of Kane, as if forgetting that the detective had said not long before that he was going to punch the duke's son in the face, frankly told him where the duke's son was: "Papit? But he just greeted me and hurried away. It seemed that because the maid who was traveling with him was injured, he put her at the doctor of the cathedral. ”

Eric confirmed, "You mean he's in the cathedral with his wounded maid?" After receiving another affirmative reply from the Count, he decided to leave for the cathedral immediately.

Unfortunately, none of the six-pointed stars wanted to leave the Earl's Mansion for the time being. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to meet their young master. Here's what Jusis said: "When his business is done, he will come back." ”

Eric begins to suspect that something is wrong with his ears. Is it really okay for them to let the first heir of Pelos wander out there like this?

But then he thought about it, after all, most people were still in the dark, thinking that the one who arrived at the earl's palace in a metal carriage was the duke's son. Anyone who knows where he's really going can probably count on their fingers. So it seems reasonable that the hexagram decided to focus on protecting Miss Anthrite.

Eric had no choice but to go to church on his own. He desperately needs to see Papitt to ask why he lied to himself. It would be great if you could really punch two punches.

Now, Eric is unable to enter the church because of the embarrassment of being shy in his pocket.

But that's not a hard time for a detective.

Eric decided to enter the church by a different path, though that would be less honorable. He didn't have the patience to wait until Papitt returned to the Earl's Palace.

The ruins of the cathedral are not a single building, but it covers a large area and spans several blocks. Unlike the main entrance, which is crowded with pedestrians, there are hardly any people in the entire street at the back entrance. Eric was now walking down the street, looking around.

A tree appeared on the other side of the wall. This is undoubtedly good news for Eric. He was glad he had the rope with him, so he could use the tree to climb over the wall.

Dodging to a dark corner around the corner of the street, he tied a denim lasso to the tip of the rope. I have to say that Eric's movements are so skillful that he is reminiscent of the man who boarded the train with a rope. All he had to do was wait for an opportunity when no one was around, and he was ready to act.

The time came quickly, and Eric threw the lasso in his hand, which was perfectly placed on the fork of the tree. Then pull it back slightly to see if it's fixed. After confirming this, he rushed to the wall, stepping on the wall and climbing it in a few arrows. Then he leaned on the wall, observing the situation inside.

What caught his eye was a cemetery. Due to the tall building of the church, there is not a single ray of sunlight that can reach here. It adds a bit of gloom.

Of course, this is nothing short of a horror for Eric. He climbed onto the wall, jumped down, and landed steadily. Then he climbed up the tree in twos and threes, untied the rope from it, and pulled it back to his waist. It is his good habit not to leave any traces when investigating crimes. Although this time his role is more akin to that of a thief.

After tidying up, Eric began to walk among the neatly arranged tombstones. He found that the soil under his feet was very soft, presumably to make it easier to dig at any time, and he had added sand to the soil.

Looking at these stones engraved with distorted letters, Eric couldn't help but sigh at the preciousness of life.

However, the feeling was fleeting, as the sound of soft footsteps burst into Eric's ears. The sound stood out in the quiet of the cemetery. Judging from the degree of noise chaos, there are not a few people who come,

This stumped Eric. In this empty cemetery, there seemed to be no place for him to hide. He looked at the big tree he had borrowed just now, and there was room for people to stand on it. But there is no guarantee that he will not be discovered, because as soon as one person glances up, he will be spotted immediately.

Thankfully, the anxiousness didn't interfere with Eric's insight. Behind the old tombstone at the end of this cemetery, there is a black wooden coffin lid that has been turned open. It was a half-excavated tomb. Maybe they were about to give the tomb a different owner.

Without thinking, Eric ran to the grave and jumped into the coffin. In the end, he did not forget to pick up the lid of the coffin to cover the mouth of the coffin.

The voices were getting closer, and Eric was hearing them more clearly.

"Don't run so fast, beware of tripping. Annie, you're walking too slowly, keep up with everyone......" The woman's shout was accompanied by a burst of laughter and slapstick.

A group of children arrived.
