Chapter 35: The End
"Young man, it's a lot of fun."
Bishop Rosen sat in the center of the carriage with his hands on his chest and his eyes closed. It was he who led Grandin out of the detention cell.
To his left, sits a priest with a paper and pen and a stern-faced face.
The inspector with a national character face wiped his sweat and sat on his right.
Grandin sat alone across from him, like a prisoner awaiting trial.
The carriage was hung with the emblem of the goddess of the night: dark as the background, brightly embellished, surrounded by just half of the crimson moon. There is also a faint smell of smoke wafting in the air, which makes people feel calm.
Grandin looked out the window, because of his manipulation, the West Villas field had been particularly lively since early in the morning. Waves of police officers poured out of the police hall, got into carriages, and rushed in all directions. Not a single person noticed the magnificent four-wheeled carriage parked on the side of the road.
There was no answer in the carriage, and there was silence.
Just when Grandin thought Bishop Rosen had fallen asleep, the bishop spoke again.
"So your purpose is to do an experiment. to prove that there is a general blindness and fanaticism when people invest today, as well as ......"
Bishop Rosen picked up the material from Grandin's confession, looked at it twice, and added:
"And the disruption of the financial industry and society by new types of scams? But the report shows that except for you, who have been losing money, other investors have made a lot of profits, right? In the end, it was because you received a huge investment that you couldn't hold back, so you took the initiative to 'turn yourself in'? ”
The priest who was in attendance began to record the 'smack', and the inspector looked strange.
Grandin argued:
"That's because I just want to do a social survey and I don't have the intention of cheating. But think about it if I extend the repayment time. Use the money of the new investors to repay the interest of the previous group of investors...... In this way, there will always be a sum of money left in my hands, and more and more will be accumulated. Then when I scaled up to attract more people to invest, I ran away at the last minute......"
Bishop Rosen opened his eyes, and the priest of record stopped writing.
Seeing that everyone had figured it out, Grandin proudly continued:
"I'm glad that I was the first person who thought of doing this, and the director of the financial department of the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom should really kowtow to me."
"Grandin! As a night watchman, even if it's temporary, be careful with your words! Bishop Rosen stopped him harshly.
Grandin did not continue to make inappropriate remarks.
"I'm sorry, I have a problem with my attitude."
He was quick to admit his mistakes and was extremely sincere.
Bishop Rosen turned his head in satisfaction and said to the priest majestically: "Delete that passage just now." ”
The priest was silent.
The weather was not hot, but the sweat on the inspector's head could not be stopped at all.
"I was ready to stop, I mean the end of the experiment. But yesterday I received a sum of money from an unknown source, and even my personal safety was threatened. So I was forced to start a rebellion and subdue the gangsters in my family.
As a good citizen and a faithful guard of the goddess. I found the diary, ledger and a series of incriminating evidence from the golden-trimmed rose hotel. ”
After Grandin finished talking about his experience yesterday, he looked at the inspector and asked for a witness.
"That's right, the National Police Agency received the relevant evidence from Mr. Grandin this morning."
The inspector testified, and then went on to say:
"It was a very coincidental coincidence that we received a report from the port staff in the dock area this morning. It is said that a large number of unconscious and dead gang members were found in a private warehouse. Three of the deceased were physically alienated and suspected to be extraordinary.
A large number of traces of gunfire were left at the scene...... The 'substitutes' of the Church of the Storm also checked that the power of 'sleep' and 'dreams' once shrouded there...... So he referred the case to the Church of the Night......"
The inspector paused for a moment, always having the illusion that if he said one more word, he would be shot eight times by the temporary worker and commit suicide.
After observing that the facial expressions of the people around him were fairly stable, he cautiously said:
Finally, during the search, the police also found a deceased person tied to a bench in another warehouse...... It was Charles, who died a miserable death......"
The inspector was so dry that he began to distribute the information, and Grandin also got the death report of Charles.
"The chest and abdomen of the deceased were dissected...... Blood spurted out in a radial pattern......"
Grantin reads the report and tries to read as many words as he can get through.
"Anyway! It's not complicated. Because traces of resentment were found on Charles and some of the deceased, we preliminarily deduced that it was the work of a fierce spirit that had formed a climate! ”
The inspector's summary is very reasonable.
As for why a ferocious spirit can use a firearm, he didn't say.
"That's right, there must be a ferocious spirit involved! As for how to explain it to the outside world, I think a gas explosion is good. ”
After saying that, Grandin felt that his behavior was a bit overstepping. So he added, "Of course, these are just my personal opinions. ”
Bishop Rosen glanced at him and said to the Inspector, "This matter involves extraordinary power, and the Church of the Night will take over next." ”
The Inspector breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Grandin in a relaxed tone:
"Mr. Grandin, the 50,000 gold pounds you handed in, after we confirm that it is correct, we will notify those victims of Charles's fraud and let them come to the police department to claim it."
"That's great." Grandin nodded in satisfaction.
A sense of euphoria permeated his body.
He was keenly aware that the last trace of resentment that had wrapped around him was gone.
"We can definitely do this beautifully!" The inspector's answer was very confident.
Because after the preliminary calculation of the accountant, after deducting the compensation given to the victim, there is even 50,000 gold pounds left.
In the carriage, no one mentioned Grandin's surrender.
After the Inspector leaves, the carriage begins to move towards the Night Church.
Bishop Rosen then said to Grandin:
"Gran, I hope you understand. Sometimes, there's only a thin line between a criminal and a hero. So there are some things that you should pay attention to the way and how. ”
Grandin just nodded, but didn't make a promise.
He got back home in the church carriage. After a heavy rain, the lawn and surrounding shrubs add a bit of greenery.
On that neat lawn, a lot of people have gathered now. Cosette is fulfilling her duties as a maid to entertain them.
This morning, neighbors around were shocked to find that officers had lifted five or six people from Mr. Grandin's house.
The explanation given by the police at the time was that there were gangsters who wanted to kidnap Grandin.
As a result, the news fermented rapidly, and as time passed, more and more investors rushed here after getting the news.
Grandin comforted the panicked crowd and excused himself by saying that he was frightened and had no intention of taking care of his investments, and wanted to return the full amount of the money raised.
This statement is acceptable to all investors, and everyone expressed regret that the whole thing did not make any waves.
Grandin plans to visit and apologize in person in the next few days with small gifts. It's a perfect ending to this matter.
By the time the crimson moonlight sprinkled over the study, Grandin was already in his pajamas.
He sat down in his study chair with a relaxed face and checked his harvest this time.
