Chapter 6: The Second Encounter Between the Priest and the Detective
At 7 a.m. on December 5, 1085 A.D., the television in Yorkham Jones' home was turned on, and a gambling show was playing inside.
In front of the TV, the cute little Lori is sitting in the arms of Yorkham Jones, holding a stack of lottery tickets and reading to the TV: "33...12..."
"36! must be 36!"
"35!35! The number is 35 this time, the audience in front of the TV, today's lottery is here, have you won the lottery? It doesn't matter if you don't win, go buy today's lottery ticket! The great grand prize has been waiting for a hundred years, you are the child of destiny it is looking forward to!"
"Pastor Jones!" Looking at the picture on the TV, the cute little Lori immediately turned into a lioness, turned around and took a bite at Yorkham Jones:
"Are you not religious to the goddess of light! Why are there more than a dozen lottery tickets, each of which is the third prize, and each one is the last number short?"
Of course, the lioness is the understanding of the little Lori herself.
For Yorkham Jones, she was at most a little milk cat, so Yorkham Jones ignored her and still quietly read the newspaper.
"The Banrud Bridge was blown up last night with Clinton explosives... Mr. Bomb, have you, the betrayer of the human faith, finally come out?"
Jokham Jones muttered to himself, then took the badge of light and prayed:
"Fortunately, it was an explosion at night, so there were no casualties.... It's really blessed by the goddess of light. ”
"It's the Night Lady's at night!"
Xiao Lori yelled, then bit down on the position she had just bitten, and muttered inwardly: "Let you ignore me!
It's a pity that Yorkham Jones has found the information he wants, so naturally he can't let the little milk cat scratch indiscriminately, and before the little Lori bites down, her head is bounced.
Ignoring the little Lori who hugged her head and shouted in pain, Yorkham Jones got up directly and said:
"Even if it's all the third prizes, the lottery ticket in your hand can be exchanged for 200 wales, which is enough to raise you into a pig. ”
So saying, Yorkham Jones put on his trench coat and asked, "Do you want to go with you?" If you don't go, give me the lottery ticket, and obediently look at the beautiful girl of the stars." ”
"200 Wall... 200 Wall..."
At this moment, Xiao Lori didn't listen to anything at all, and there was only the number 200 Wales left in her head.
In the Sidawa continent, there are two currencies generally used, one is the common currency of the former Nochlan Kingdom, which is now the poor Norbu.
The other is the Wall issued by the Commonwealth of Walson, and of course, there is a smaller unit than the Wall.
By currency exchange, 1 walr = 10 wales = 6 norb.
The average skilled worker's weekly salary is 1 wale, while the salary of a university teacher to professor ranges from 5 to 20 wales.
According to the purchasing power, renting a civilian house with a living room and bedroom costs 1 Huaer a month, and a family of two people costs 1.5 Huaer a month for gas + water and electricity.
Then, 1 wager = 1 kg of regular beef = 2 kg of bread = 1 kg of fine Ossenman pork.
Therefore, 200 Wall is a lot of money, and for the wandering little Lori, there is nothing more worth remembering than the huge amount of money that fell from the sky.
After muttering several times in a row, Qin Jing got up violently and rushed into the bedroom, and it only took about 10S to change his clothes, put on his shoes, and then ran to the door.
Putting the lottery ticket in his pocket seriously, Jingqing looked up at Yorkham Jones:
"Mr. Pastor, why are you still standing?"
Looking at the incredible speed of little Lori, Yorkham Jones was already sluggish, and he thought of the goddess of light in his heart: "Is she really a human?"
...
Daurson Street, not far from Huiguang Road, Kaneda Shinichi and Officer Paber happened to meet, and the passage in front of the two was only enough for one person to pass, and for a while, the two of them stared at each other, one disagreeing with the other.
After staring at it for a while, Kaneda Shinichi asked with a smile:
"Officer Paber, are you going grocery shopping?"
"Is Shinichi-san too?"
"After talking to you yesterday, I was very interested in Pastor Jones, so I wanted to go to his house and have a look. ”
"Mr. Shinichi, you are so idle! Have you forgotten yesterday's bet? You swore by your reputation, let me see, Mr. Shinichi, you better hurry up and investigate the case." ”
As soon as Officer Paber finished speaking, while Kaneda Shinichi was thinking about how to reply, Paber immediately rushed towards the passage ahead.
"Despicable!"
Seeing this, Kaneda Shinichi scolded and sprinted up.
Perhaps because of Kaneda Shinichi's young relationship, although Paber ran a few steps first, he was caught up by Kaneda Shinichi.
No, at the entrance of the single passage, the two of them are pushing me again, and they don't give in to each other.
With a squeeze and knocking Paber back a few steps, Kaneda Shinichi hurriedly stretched out a foot and stepped on the single passage, and turned back and laughed:
"Hahaha! Officer Paber! Now you know how good a high school student is!"
But because of these laughs, after Paber stabilized his body, he directly threw the vegetable basket to the ground, and grabbed Kaneda Shinichi's arm with both hands:
"I'm a graduate of the Detective Academy! How could I lose to you, a high school detective!"
When the two were fighting very anxiously, a little Lori's voice suddenly came:
"Mr. Pastor, the two of them are not stupid. ”
"Idiots, indeed. ”
Yorkham Jones forced himself not to laugh, and crossed the two of them with Xiao Lori in his arms and walked into the single passage.
Seeing this, Kaneda Shinichi and Paber hurriedly tidied up each other's clothes, and said at the same time:
"Mr. Shinichi, you first. ”
"Officer Paber, you go first. ”
"Hahaha...."
At this moment, Yorkham Jones finally couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Jing also covered her mouth and laughed, and reminded:
"Two gentlemen, if you are more humble, there will be a traffic jam behind. ”
At this time, as soon as Shinichi Kaneda and Officer Paber turned around, they found that a long queue had gathered behind them, and everyone was staring at them with very terrifying eyes.
After two glances, Kaneda Shinichi hurriedly stepped into the single passage.
Then Paber followed.
After walking out of the passage, the two stepped forward and walked side by side with Yorkham Jones, and after walking a few steps, Shinichi Kaneda suddenly looked at Officer Paber and asked:
"Officer Paber, so I won this time to grab the passage, right?"
At this question, Yorkham Jones, Jingqing, and Paber immediately burst into laughter.
At this moment, Kaneda Shinichi's breathing suddenly became short, and a few seconds later, Kaneda Shinichi fell to the ground.
"Mr. Shinichi! Mr. Shinichi!"
Seeing this, Paber hurriedly picked up Kaneda Shinichi and kept patting him on the back, but Kaneda Shinichi's breathing condition did not improve, but became more rapid.
Yorkham Jones looked at it twice and said:
"Officer Paber, double Mr. Shinichi's pocket, there should be medicine. ”
When Paber heard this, he immediately rummaged through it, and in about half a minute, Paber found a bottle of medicine with 'SX--Heart' written on it in the vermilion of Kaneda Shinichi's trench coat pocket.
Picking up the medicine bottle, Paber immediately shouted at Shinichi Kaneda, who was foaming at the mouth:
"Mr. Shinichi! Mr. Shinichi! Look at it, is this a bottle of medicine?"
After Kaneda Shinichi nodded hard, Paber hurriedly poured out two grains and fed them to Kaneda Shinichi.
At this time, Yorkham Jones said in his heart: "There are only about ten pills left, Mr. Shinichi, should I remind you?"
After about three minutes, after Jintian Shinichi's breathing returned to normal, he first took a few deep breaths in a row, then got up and said:
"Thank you, Officer Paber. ”
"Stinky boy!"
In response to Shinichi Kaneda, it was Officer Paber's heavy punch, and Officer Paber's eyes were already full of tears at this moment:
"I'm dying! Why don't you tell me that you have such a serious illness! If I knew you were not in good health, I would have fought with you about this. ”
"Hey, hey. ”
Kaneda Shinichi touched his head, and then said:
"Officer Paber, you don't have to rush to admit defeat, I have already found the murderer of Mr. Thief, and you will lose by noon!"
As he spoke, Kaneda Shinichi turned his eyes to Yorkham Jones.
Listening to Kaneda Shinichi's answer, looking at the tall boy with red hair in front of him, Paber couldn't help but smile and shake his head as if he saw himself when he was young.
When Kaneda Shinichi looked at Yorkham Jones, our priest also nodded and smiled politely, and said to Officer Paber:
"Let's go, it's late, and the fresh stuff is gone. ”
After walking to the seafood market, Officer Paber walked in and said to Yorkham Jones:
"Mr. Pastor, see you at noon. ”
"Hmm. ”
Yorkham Jones nodded and headed for the Fresh Meat Market.
After walking for a while, Jingqing suddenly looked at Kaneda Shinichi shyly, and covered his little eyes and asked:
"Mr. Detective, are you going to my house for dinner?"
"Of course!" Shinichi Kaneda nodded immediately.
Hearing the answer, Jingjing immediately shouted happily into Yorkham Jones's ear:
"Wow, Mr. Reverend, did you hear that, Mr. Shinichi is going to our house for dinner, so let's buy more things today!"
"Little nymphomaniac!"
Glaring at Qinqing, he put Qinqing down, and pointed to the lottery shop in front of him and said, "Since you want to buy more, let's go and exchange your 200 Huaer first." ”
"Got it!"
Qin Jing happily ran a few steps forward, then turned back and shouted:
"Mr. Reverend, you only bought me Vivien yesterday, shall we buy another Lilith!"
"Yes, you can do it if you like. ”
Yorkham Jones smiled and nodded.
After entering the lottery shop, Kaneda Shinichi looked at Yorkham Jones:
"Pastor Jones, she seems to have been adopted by you for the past two days, and you are so nice to her. ”
Yorkham Jones smiled and asked:
"Who is willing not to pamper these angels under the light?"
"Mr. Priest, you're right, but I don't believe in the goddess of light, so no matter whether the dead are wicked or good, I only seek the truth that belongs to the detective!"
As he spoke, Shinichi Kaneda stared closely into Yorkham Jones' eyes.
Yorkham Jones did not shy away from Shinichi Kaneda, he gently picked up the badge of light, and said with a smile:
"Of course, under the light, all shadows are nowhere to be hidden. ”
Kaneda Shinichi wanted to say something, but the cute little Lori had already run out of the lottery door at this time and ran towards them.
After a glance, Kaneda Shinichi retracted what he wanted to say, and said with a smile:
Perhaps, the shadow is part of the light. ”
After returning to Yorkham Jones's arms, he asked:
"Mr. Pastor, how about we have a steak today?"
"You should ask our guests first. ”
Yorkham Jones nodded in reply, and then asked Shinichi Kaneda:
"Mr. Shinichi, how is the snow mountain sashimi?"
"Mr. Reverend really knows me. Kaneda Shinichi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile was on his face.
"Then I'm going to have balloon pudding and bibo cake!"
"Are you going to raise yourself to be a real Ossenman pig?"
"Humph!"
In the midst of a burst of laughter, Yorkham Jones, Jingqing, and Kaneda Shinichi all had their things in their hands, and then the three of them walked towards the best butcher shop on Daulson Street.
In the butcher's shop of the Holy Light, looking at Hemingway Hale, who was about to swing a knife to chop the steak, Yorkham Jones asked again:
"Mr. Haier, please answer me seriously, do you really believe in light?"
"Of course, I'm the staunchest follower of the Goddess of Light!" Hemingway Hale replied with a smile, and slashed the knife down with all his might.
"May the goddess of light bless you. ”
Yorkham Jones replied, took the steak, and walked home with Jingqing and Kaneda Shinichi.
Walking on the road, recalling that between Hemingway Hale's swing of the knife, the blood danced like raindrops, obviously cutting meat, but as solemn and sacred as an artist, Kaneda Shinichi couldn't help but sigh:
"I can't imagine that a person as handsome and dedicated as Mr. Hale could be a butcher. ”
"Under the light, nothing in the world is surprising. ”
