Chapter 104: The Church's Methods of Investigation
Benjamin was turning his back to him when Jeremy said this, looking at the food brought on the table, fustalgating what to eat next. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, he had his back to Jeremy, otherwise, Jeremy would have seen the expression on his face change dramatically at that moment.
He just stood there, stiffened for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal. He picked up a glass of milk, tilted his head, drank it all in one gulp, then turned around, shrugging his shoulders seemingly helplessly.
"What's the solution, every time something happens, the merchant will start raising the price and stocking up. It's all like this, get used to it. ”
He chatted and complained about the merchants of the royal capital, with an indifferent expression on his face, but in his heart, he suppressed the uneasiness and maintained his apparent composure.
Stolen very important letters......
Who is this talking about, I figured it out with my toes.
The church is looking for him.
The moment Benjamin realized it, he almost suffocated his breath.
It's really going to be a big deal.
In fact, from the moment he read the letter to King Caritus, he had already realized that something was wrong. At that time, he regretted a little why he had stolen the letter and involved himself in such a troublesome matter. But it was useless to regret it, so he had to destroy the letter and pretend that he didn't know anything.
He also guessed how the church would react to this, but he really didn't expect that the church would actually issue a wanted notice, and also sent a paladin to strictly check the people who entered and left the royal capital.
In this way, the church is taking this matter more seriously than he thought.
Thankfully, he didn't show much of his feet when he was doing this whole thing. The church should not have doubted him, otherwise he would have woken up not Jeremy, but the ruling of the Light.
Thinking like this, he slowly relaxed, glanced at Jeremy again, and then asked casually, "But...... There really is an assassin from an enemy country who has infiltrated the royal capital, what does he look like, is it written on the wanted notice?"
However, Jeremy's words startled him again.
"Well, it says that the assassin was proficient in disguise, liked to pretend to be a beggar, and was thin and small, with dirty brown hair. ”
“......”
Benjamin turned again, pretending to pick food, took a deep breath with his back to Jeremy, and then casually turned back with a piece of bread.
After all this, he recovered a little from that shock.
What's the situation?
What the is this...... The church actually found him?
Strictly speaking, the church didn't really find him, but ...... How on earth did the church know that it was a beggar who killed the pastor and took the letter?
Benjamin was almost scared out of a cold sweat.
Knowing that it was a beggar who killed the priest, only the boss of the "silver fox" was the one, could it be ...... The "Silver Fox" boss was caught, and the church read his memory, so this wanted notice was issued?
Isn't he's in danger now?
"Is that all there is to it?" Benjamin asked, after a moment's thought, "who would have recognized the assassin by that alone?"
He had to make sure how much information the church had in its possession. He was to use this information to judge how likely it was that the church would associate beggars with Benjamin Reese.
Therefore, he really had to ask a few more words.
"No way, that's all there is to it for wanted. If I could have known better, I would have caught someone a long time ago. Jeremy shook his head and said, "Just because I don't know what that beggar looks like, many beggars on the street have been taken away by the church." Young master, the streets of the outer city are now many times cleaner than yesterday!"
Hearing this, Benjamin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The churches are starting to arrest people, which means that they have found very little information.
In this way, the boss of the "Silver Fox" should not have been caught. Otherwise, he had been with the old man for so long, and the church could not have read his memory, and he would not have gotten only such a little information, and would not have said that his hair had changed from golden brown to brown.
Of course, the hair color is due to a roll in the mud puddle. At first glance, it is indeed easy to mistake for brown.
At first glance......
Suddenly, Benjamin thought about how the church got the key message of "beggars."
When he walked into the "Silver Fox" old man's inn, there were many pedestrians on that street, and there were many customers in the inn at that time, who were later chased away by the paladins. The church must have started with the inn, and found some passers-by and guests who had fled in a hurry, and perhaps a few of them had inadvertently glanced at Benjamin, who was disguised as a beggar, as they were leaving.
The church read their memories and came to the conclusion that the beggar who had walked into the inn and crouched down with his head down was the culprit who had killed the priest.
Unexpectedly, the church is quite powerful in investigating the case.
As for the suspicion of the boss of the "Silver Fox...... He's quite famous in the outer city, and the church should be able to find out that he can't be a mage. Therefore, they did not list the "Silver Fox" boss as a murderer.
In this way, after thinking through the ins and outs of the whole thing, Benjamin's mood was not so uneasy.
It's amazing how many things the church can find, but that's all they can find. As long as they can't catch the "Silver Fox" boss, Benjamin doesn't have to worry too much.
It was basically impossible to recognize Benjamin from the vague impressions of those passers-by.
Of course, if the church could work backwards, by searching the memories of all the pedestrians along the road, maybe they could draw a road map of Benjamin's road, and even find the organ man who had a few words with Benjamin at Bonnie's Tavern. But unfortunately, not every street in the outer city has pedestrians, and not every pedestrian has the leisure to pay attention to the beggars on the road.
Trying to use this method to pull out Benjamin's pigtails is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
He was completely relieved.
Call......
It's true that things are getting bigger, but as long as he keeps a low profile during this time, there will be no problems. The church is so busy, and it has to deal with the nobles, fight the mages, and unite with the Carretus, and this state of strict investigation should not last long.
Seriously, he's starting to feel that the Church's hand has stretched a little too far since the pope reappeared. Strong is strong, but no matter how strong you are, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time.
With such a big ambition, aren't you afraid to kill yourself?
And so, Benjamin thought as he finished his meal under Jeremy's service. After casually asking Jeremy about the situation outside, he sent Jeremy away and closed the door again.
Claude also said not to run outside recently, and the limelight of the church is also tight, so just stay in the room and continue to practice magic.
So he lay back on his bed, ready to continue his magic.
Not long after he got up, he ate something and went back to bed. In the eyes of outsiders, his life must be decadent and erosive.
Benjamin couldn't help but think as he entered the space of consciousness.
However, he didn't bother to care what others thought.
The third magic character is about to take shape, and at such an important moment, he can't stare at the point?
