Chapter 420: Church Hierarchy

"Don't!"

Wang Tao's hand had just been placed on the mask of one of the deputy mayors, who subconsciously spoke.

Wang Tao stopped what he was doing, and he looked at the deputy mayor with interest, wanting to see what he had to say.

The deputy mayor was thinking frantically in his heart. He's been caught now, and whoever captures him is, he's probably going to run out anyway.

But if he doesn't reveal his true face, then there is still a glimmer of opportunity, but if the identity of the deputy mayor is exposed, then his last chance is gone!

"You let me go, I'll give you money, I'll give you a lot of money!"

The deputy mayor hurriedly spoke.

Hearing this, Wang Tao suddenly looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

Even if you're a deputy mayor, you're just a first-order ability, how much money can you have? Still want to bribe a fourth-order awakened person?

To put it mildly, even if he is corrupt, he may not be as fast as Wang Tao to make money.

The deputy mayor obviously couldn't see Wang Tao's strength, after all, his strength was too weak, and Commissioner Zhu Fen and the other two third-order abilities could see it--they couldn't see it, they weren't sure of Wang Tao's true strength, but Wang Tao could crush the third-order ability, then this was obviously a fourth-order awakened person.

So Zhu Fen "whined", and tears came out.

Her mouth was stuffed with a thick wooden stick by Jiang Shixue, and she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Wang Tao asked Jiang Shixue to pull out the wooden stick.

"Ahemβ€”"

Zhu Fen coughed violently, and all he coughed out was blood. But she couldn't care so much anymore, so she could only say with some difficulty:

"Ahem, if you let us go, I can give you a large amount of holy medicine, crystal coins, crystal nucleus......"

Zhu Fen also promised a lot of benefits, but unlike the deputy mayor, she is not a deacon, but a priest, so the credibility of this statement may be a little higher?

Wang Tao wanted to see if they could say something that interested him, and these bribes were obviously not of interest to Wang Tao.

So Wang Tao directly ignored Zhu Fen's words and was about to take off their masks.

Although Zhu Fen is a committee member, she is very capable. But at this time, she was also panicked and didn't know what to do.

However, just when Wang Tao's hand had already touched the mask of one of them, Wang Tao suddenly took the initiative to stop again.

"I was commissioned by someone to investigate the cause of Yao Guodong's death......"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Tao could clearly see that Zhu Fen and the others subconsciously glanced at the two deputy mayors, and could see the anger in their eyes.

And the two deputy mayors shrank their necks, and they suddenly regretted it.

Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised, looking at their subconscious expressions, Wang Tao probably had a guess - Yao Guodong was killed by the two deputy mayors, and this Zhu Fen may not have known at first, or knew but didn't have time to stop it. Otherwise they wouldn't have this expression.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is to find the murderer and find this twilight church.

"However, in the course of my investigation, I stumbled upon the Church of Twilight. This intrigues me......"

The anger in Zhu Fen's eyes was even stronger, she hated the two deputy mayors to death.

Similar to Wang Tao's guess, Yao Guodong's death was caused by the two deputy mayors, and she didn't know it at the time.

If she were to do this, it would definitely not be possible to do this, at least not in such a hurry. Although it seems that there are no loopholes at the scene of Yao Guodong's death, the death is too strange, and everyone is not stupid, so they must suspect that he killed him. So the follow-up will definitely be investigated.

Zhu Fen was afraid that someone would be able to find out about the Twilight Church, although she also felt that it was unlikely, but what if-as a result, this "what if" really came!

She wanted to kill these two fools with her own hands now, if it weren't for them, the Twilight Church would not have been exposed, and she would not have been able to fall to this step.

But the man in front of him said that he was commissioned to investigate, and since it was a commission, it must have been the client who paid the price. In other words, he's here for profit! So if he can afford to make his heart move, can he change his client?

Zhu Fen suddenly felt that she seemed to have a glimmer of life!

At this time, Wang Tao spoke again:

"I didn't expect the Twilight Church to be like this, it's very interesting...... But I'm curious, who are you? ”

Although several people couldn't see through Wang Tao's mask, they could also feel that kind of playful eyes.

"But before I find out who you are, I'm curious how you killed Yao Guodong...... So, I'll give you a chance to tell me how you killed Yao Guodong, maybe I'll let you go as soon as I'm in a good mood. ”

Wang Tao continued.

"Let us go?"

Hearing this, the deputy mayor obviously didn't believe it. They are already fish on the sticky board, Wang Tao will let them go?

And Zhu Fen's eyes flickered, she felt that it was possible! After all, Wang Tao was commissioned to come, not Wang Tao wanted to come by himself! I just don't know what Wang Tao likes, the fourth-order awakened people are obviously not short of money, or the club is not short of small money......

While Zhu Fen was thinking, Wang Tao continued:

"Believe it or not, find out how Yao Guodong died, and my goal will be achieved. Theoretically, I could go back and do it. But I didn't expect to catch a big fish, so I ...... It's up to you guys to behave. ”

After Wang Tao finished speaking, several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say, mainly because they were not sure what Wang Tao thought.

However, Zhu Fen decided to believe Wang Tao - she had to believe it, and if she believed it, she might have a chance, but if she didn't believe it, she was taken off her mask and her appearance was completely exposed in front of everyone, then she was really finished!

"I say!"

Zhu Fen immediately spoke.

Although she was not involved in the assassination of Yao Guodong, the two deputy mayors reported to her afterwards, so she knew the detailed process.

Since she is not a murderer, even if she is really punished, it will not be her turn. So there's no pressure on her to say it.

But the two deputy mayors scolded their mothers in their hearts.

They are the masterminds, if this matter is said, even if Wang Tao is willing to release them, he will definitely not let them go, even if they are released, they will still be caught when they turn around!

"A wise choice."

Wang Tao's tone was very satisfied.

"I know it too!"

"I say it too!"

The third-order bodyguard and the third-order official also hurriedly spoke.

Who wouldn't want to live if they could live.

Now the two deputy mayors are even more uncomfortable, everyone dares to say it, but they dare not say it!

But Wang Tao knew that they might be murderers, and what the murderer said in person must be a little different from that of bystanders. So Wang Tao said again:

"Since you all know, then come one by one! If I find that you are not saying the same...... I'm sorry, but you may not have a chance to judge. ”

Wang Tao glanced at a few people, and the momentum of his fourth-order awakened person bloomed for the first time, and several people suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

"Let's start with the two of you."

Wang Tao pointed to one of the deputy mayors.

These two deputy mayors were very confused, and they didn't say that they knew, so why did they start with themselves? However, looking at Wang Tao's eyes, they had no doubt that Wang Tao might really kill them! After all, for the Awakened, their strength at this level is no different from that of ants......

Then there is no way, you may die after you say it, but if you don't say it, you may die now!

So, these two people can only explain honestly.

In order to prevent them from colluding with each other, Wang Tao deliberately brought them all to the room and said that they could not hear what other people had to say.

So, these people honestly told the story of Yao Guodong's assassination, including that the initiators were the two deputy mayors. However, these people are also chicken thieves, and when Wang Tao did not untie their masks, they did not directly tell Wang Tao that the two deacons were the deputy mayor. They are still thinking about what if, in case Wang Tao really lets them go, even if the deputy mayor is wanted later, it is better than being arrested now.

And Wang Tao nodded immediately after listening to their words. This is much the same thing he had guessed......

The reason why these two deputy mayors killed Yao Guodong was because Yao Guodong had become an alien!

Yao Guodong's personal ability is very strong, but he is old and is going to retire. Yao Guodong retired, and it was their deputy mayors who competed. And these two deputy mayors are both from the Twilight Church, and they know each other's identities, so if the two of them partner together, they will definitely be forced by another deputy mayor, then the position of this mayor is theirs.

But they didn't expect that Yao Guodong would become an anomaly. Then that's the problem. Because his health will get better after becoming an anomaly, Yao Guodong can retire later. And if Yao Guodong does not retire, they will never have a chance to take the position. So they chose to do it, and while Yao Guodong was not strong now, they quickly killed Yao Guodong!

So, they contacted another deacon, the third-order strength deacon who gave Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen their holy medicine.

After they paid some price, this deacon was willing to help. However, he was not directly involved, he was trying to find a way to get Qiu Rong to drink the holy medicine to Yao Guodong, and then lure Yao Guodong out. What will happen to Yao Guodong after he goes out, then it is not his responsibility.

So, the two deputy mayors found a killer - yes, there is also a killer profession in the Changhe base, but this profession can only be found in the black market, which is very secretive.

They found a killer who was said to be not very strong, but very capable of assassination. After they paid some crystals, the killer took the task and succeeded.

After that, it was what Wang Tao saw at the scene......

"That is, you don't know who this killer is?"

Wang Tao frowned.

"I don't know ......"

Zhu Fen hurriedly shook his head.

She was the last to be asked, she didn't dare to say anything false, she really didn't know.

Wang Tao was a little speechless, although he was able to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, but it was a bit of a pity to catch the murderer who did it. But...... It doesn't matter, the police department and the city hall will investigate the rest, anyway, he can personally catch the two deputy mayors and already help them a lot.

"Okay, even if you barely passed, I have one last question. If you answer me satisfactorily, I'll let you go. ”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you mean what you say? ”

Zhu Fen's face was not very good-looking.

"You have no choice but to trust me. And I said, I was just commissioned, and now that the commission has been completed, I can leave at any time, and I have no enmity with you, just a little curiosity......"

Wang Tao said without hurrying.

"Then you ask!"

Zhu Fen gritted her teeth, she didn't want to die, she had to seize the opportunity.

"Very well, tell me about this elixir and all the things about your Church of Dusk."

"You-"

Zhu Fen could probably predict what Wang Tao wanted to ask, but after hearing it, he still didn't want to answer.

"You only have one chance, anyway, if you don't say it, others will say it. If I find you useless, the consequences ...... Think for yourself. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zhu Fen struggled for a long time, and finally decided to say it. In any case, your own life is the most important thing.

"Twilight Church ......"

In a few other rooms, Jiang Shixue and the others were also questioning.

Wang Tao's spiritual power can detect the past, so he can also see the content of their questioning. Questioning several people at the same time can save a lot of time. At most, it made Wang Tao's head rise a little, after all, this is relatively single-minded......

After spending some time, Zhu Fen and the others talked about the holy medicine and everything related to the Church of Dusk.

Wang Tao finally got to know something about this twilight church.

There is a hierarchy within this twilight church, and there are currently four levels.

The lowest are "ordinary believers", that is, Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen, who are not really considered to have joined the church, so they are not considered to be ranked.

As long as they have developed three believers, they can officially join the church and become "devout believers."

Devout people are the lowest rank in the church, and if they behave well, they can be promoted to "deacons." It's the deputy mayor, these people.

Above the deacon is the "priest", according to Zhu Fen, at present, she is the only priest in the entire Changhe base.

But she's not sure, because the Church of Twilight has a rule that they can't inquire about other people's identities.

Under normal circumstances, only their own bosses will know their identities, such as the deputy mayor, they are all Zhu Fen's superiors, Zhu Fen knows their true identity, but they don't know Zhu Fen's identity.

So if there really are other priests, Zhu Fen may not know about them, unless they are above the priests, that is, the highest level of people, the bishop.

She was pretty sure there were no bishops in the Long River base, because when she contacted them, she was out to do so. But she didn't know if there were other priests......

"Bishops, priests, deacons, laity, ......"

Wang Tao feels that this church is very big!

And even Zhu Fen, the commissioner, is just a priest...... So who the hell is this bishop!
