The old priest nodded, there was nothing wrong with Zhou Daoan's answer, and the accent was too telling, after all, the people on Merseyside's side could not easily learn to speak. Coupled with the information revealed by Zhou Daoan's words, it is very in line with the situation of poor immigrants - as soon as the family population is large, the big ones have to move their nests...... In addition, he looked at Zhou Daoan, his clothes were very thin, he couldn't hide anything, and the only valuable silver candlestick in this church was also placed on the table! Therefore, the old priest already believed in his heart that this young man came to borrow a convenient one because he couldn't hold back.

"I'm Father Grimm here, and I'm sorry to ask a little more, because I know almost everyone in this area of St. Mary's Church. You're a bit of a face, and you're here early in the morning, so I'm going to have to ask......" The old priest, who called himself Green, smiled, and then pointed to the church, "It's usually not locked—everyone in the neighborhood knows." Anyone who needs it – nowhere to sleep at night, nowhere to hide from the rain – can take refuge here. At first, there were indeed a few things lost here, but over time, everyone finally realized the benefits and became conscious. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Daoan subconsciously looked around.

Father Green laughed, and he understood why Zhou Daoan had done this, and said, "Tom and Pierce slept here last night, but they were dock workers, and they had to leave before dawn—they had just been kicked out by the stingy landlord because they could not afford the rent of four shillings a week. ”

Zhou Daoan nodded, "Your generosity is respectable, Father. ”

"Oh, thank you very much for your compliment, this is the church of the Virgin, I just gave a generous gesture on behalf of her old man......" The old man of Wudu didn't seem to be rigid, and after a few words, he had already joked with Zhou Daoan, "So, child, what should I call you?" You're here with the intention of settling here for a long time, right? ”

"Yes, Father. Everyone told me that there were many opportunities in Wudu and that I needed to find a serious job here. Zhou Daoan nodded again, in fact, the task released by the system could not be rejected by him, but this time the task, the system did not tell him, what would happen if the task failed, I don't know if it is because the task is a serial reason, there is room for turning between tasks?

"My name is Stephen, Stephen Chow."

Father Green, of course, did not know that the name was a tribute to some master of comedy from another world. He just nodded, stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Daoan, "Nice to meet you, Stephen." You said you were looking for a serious job, and that's great, and a lot of kids at the bottom of the hierarchy your age are going astray, so I'm very happy that you can say that......"

Zhou Daoan was about to pick up the plane and talk to this kind priest - he really didn't know much about the eastern district of the fog capital, if the priest could provide him with some useful information......

As he was thinking about it, suddenly the door of the church was pushed open widely.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people in dark uniforms and bowler caps walked in, starting with a middle-aged man in civilian clothes, a soft-topped hat, and a conspicuous mustache.

Yizihu took a step forward, glanced at Zhou Daoan first, and then said to Father Green: "Father, early, excuse me." ”

Father Green sighed, shook his head slightly, and said, "Inspector Harold, I'm sorry, not for you, but you're one of the few people I don't want to meet—that means something unfortunate has happened here again, right?" ”

"Unfortunately, it is." The detective known as Harold lifted his hat, and there was no real apology on his face - the eastern district of the foggy capital in the 19th century was the highest crime area in the world, and it can be added to be one of the more cases every day, and countless cases every day have long been accustomed to it.

Father Green sighed again, "So, is there anything I can do to help?" ”

"That's true, Father. After all, you are the most respected person in St. Mary's Church, and you know everyone well...... There is a corpse that has just been found not far away, it is a poor man, so I would like to ask you to help confirm the identity......" Inspector Harold said, and suddenly turned his eyes to Zhou Daoan, "This person looks very raw, is it your friend, priest?" ”

"This is Stephen, who has just arrived in the East ......End from Merseyside," explained the zealous priest.

"Just here? Arrived this morning? By train? I remember the earliest train from Merseyside to Fog, and now it's only now arriving......" Inspector Harold seemed very sensitive, and continued the priest's words, asking several questions in succession.

"I've spent a lot of time on the road, Mr. Detective, because I can't afford a ticket." Zhou Daoan replied unhurriedly.

In fact, he could only answer the question in an ambiguous way, because he was still new to the world, and he was not sure what time of the 19th century it was.

But unfortunately, Zhou Daoan is facing a police officer at the moment, and he is here to investigate the case. So, Inspector Harold won't let him go easily-

"So you came here earlier, didn't you?"

"I can't be sure, Mr. Inspector. Since I don't know the time, I can only tell you that not long after I arrived here, I felt sick to my stomach and hurried into the church...... At the end of the convenient period, the bell had just struck five times......"

Inspector Harold couldn't help but frown. To be honest, he first came to interrogate this Oriental teenager who was born out of professional habits - there are many immigrants in the eastern district of Wudu, and there are many Oriental Americans. However, it is suspicious that the teenager always takes a detour in answering questions, and does not reveal much valid information.

He didn't know, and Zhou Daoan had no choice - although he was prepared to be interrogated, who would have expected to meet the police just after being "born"? Or the police who came to interrogate with the case! He could only make sure that there were no loopholes in what he said.

But Zhou Daoan faintly felt that the case that the inspector had just received should have happened from night to early morning - because Father Green still had a natural face when he walked into the church, indicating that there was no news of the murder before this, and it was obvious that the time when the case was discovered was not long ago.

But even so, he didn't choose to lie - it was highly undesirable to lie to avoid the murder timeline until he had any definite information!

"Can anyone prove it? Do you have any companions in your travels? ”

"Unfortunately, no."

Inspector Harold's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, "If that's the case...... Well, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you to go to the police. Unfortunately, your time coincided with this case. ”

Then, he waved his hand, and immediately two uniformed policemen stepped forward and stuck Zhou Daoan on the left and right.

"Make a record first, if there is no doubt, we will not just wronged a good person......" Harold saw that Father Green seemed to be speaking for Zhou Daoan, so he hurriedly said a word first, gagged the priest's mouth, and then made a "please" gesture, "Father Green, please help us take a look at the corpse first......"

Unfortunately, Zhou Daoan was taken to the police station in the eastern district of Wudu. The two police officers in charge of questioning locked him in a room, asked him questions over and over again, and even set up a lot of language traps to get something out of his mouth. And Zhou Daoan really didn't know anything, so his answer was quite limited. After a busy morning, both policemen were a little tired, but to no avail. The Oriental teenager in front of him seems to have nothing to dig up.

Fortunately, when it was lunch time, Zhou Daoan was "protected" again. It's not bail, because he's not even a suspect now, it's just because Father Green also went to the police station and helped the police identify the body, and he didn't forget the Oriental teenager he had just met in the morning. Therefore, the priest "brushed" his face, and Zhou Daoan's body was indeed clean, so Inspector Harold didn't embarrass him too much, and waved his hand to let him leave. However, the detective also told him not to leave the Eastern District until the case was resolved, so that the police could question him at any time.

"It's all about it, and you don't have to worry too much, kid...... The Eastern End is the most complicated area in the entire fog capital, and it is not easy to manage here, Harold has been here for three years, and he has been very conscientious in general, and he has not made any unjust, false and wrongful convictions......"

Father Green led Zhou Daoan out of the police station, and then returned to St. Mary's Church with Zhou Daoan, who had nowhere to go for the time being. Along the way, the priest watched Zhou Daoan remain silent, thinking that he was dissatisfied with what happened this morning, so he enlightened him.

"Father, can you tell me what kind of case this is?" Zhou Daoan interrupted the priest's reassurance.

In fact, on this trip to the police station, in addition to dealing with the interrogation of the police, Zhou Daoan spent more of his thoughts on thinking about another issue:

He was already in the bureau, through the conversation with the two police officers, and found out the time node of the fog capital at this moment - the end of the eighties of the 19th century, to be precise, today is August 7, 1888 in this world.

And the fog capital he was in at this time was also the capital of the Empire, which had a high similarity with London, the capital of the British Empire in his previous life - even the ruler at this time was also "Queen Victoria".

Zhou Daoan is no stranger to this period - many world classics in his previous life, such as the famous "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", are set in this period.

But it was precisely because Zhou Daoan had a certain understanding of this period that he began to worry......
