Chapter 3: The Battle for Reputation
"I am in the name of a believer of light. ”
Next to the dead Mr. Thief, Yorkham Jones gently took off his trench coat, took off his hat, and held aloft the badge of light to meet the faint sunlight in the dark clouds, shouting:
"Great Goddess of Light, Thou art Lord of all beings, Thou art Lord of mercy, souls of faith that do not belong to you, withered grass that walks in darkness, true lies woven by fate!"
After reading the prayer on the Holy Book of Light, Yorkham Jones first muttered in his heart, "Can't you draw the light, it seems that the faith is not strong enough..."
Then, Jokham Jones pressed the badge of light on the chest of the black-skinned thief he had killed the night before, and chanted, "Lonely soul with no way out, the goddess of light has given you the light in the afterlife!"
After doing everything, Yorkham Jones put away the Bright Badge and looked at Shinichi Kaneda:
"My favorite Mr. Detective, it's time for you to act. ”
Such a prayer for the deceased has been seen countless times by Shinichi Kaneda, as a famous detective, so he is not surprised, but feels that it is a waste of time.
Hearing Yorkham Jones' words, Kaneda Shinichi walked directly to the deceased and crouched down to observe.
"Age 32-37, about 1.74 meters, Heng Sha Roman smuggler or immigrant, pickpocket or gang member, this is the scene of the first murder, the cause of death is a fatal shot in the head. ”
When Kaneda Shinichi observed, the tall and thin grinning officer next to Sheriff Fat Will looked at Kaneda Shinichi with a somewhat ostentatious tone.
In the eyes of Yorkham Jones, this scene was as funny as watching a red-ass monkey perform acrobatics.
"It can be used. ”
With a silent remark in his heart, Yorkham Jones immediately put on a look of surprise that suddenly dawned on him:
"Oh, Mr. Officer, you are the reincarnation of the great Detective Poirot, can you tell me how you see it?"
"Hello, Mr. Pastor, you may call me Officer Paber or Mr. Paber. First of all, thank you for the compliments, but these are very simple profiling of appearance, as long as you have attended detective school, you can do it. ”
The tall thin officer first gentlemanly replied to Yorkham Jones, and then turned to Kaneda Shinichi and sneered:
"I wonder what the high school students who are detectives in our city see?"
"Useless information is useless except to disturb the mind. ”
As soon as Kaneda replied, he walked to the trash can on the side, flipped through it a few times, and walked back to where Yorkham Jones stood last night, and by this time, it was already raining heavily in the sky.
The raindrops slammed into Kaneda's hair, and the erect red hair suddenly collapsed:
"The symbol of blood tells me that he died at 12:21 last night! This dead thief also saw a very horrible picture before he died! In addition, when the death occurred, there were three people here, one was an abandoned street child, and from the moment the pistol fired, a total of six bullets were fired, and all the bullets belonged to a pistol. ”
Then, Shinichi Kaneda walked to the deceased's location in torrential rain:
"The five bullets were fired by Mr. Thief lying on the ground, this is the terrifying scene that Mr. Thief saw, but the absence of a special department this morning means that there is no extraordinary force involved in this case... So what was it that killed Mr. Thief when he was robbed five times first?"
After speaking, Kaneda Shinichi looked at Officer Will, who was recording, and continued:
"There is no need to remember, it is still useless information! These data can be obtained by querying the archives for half a day. ”
Then, Kaneda Shinichi lowered down and took out a 'knight' chess piece from the deceased's neck, and at this moment, the moment the blood fell with the raindrops, Kaneda Shinichi seemed to see the most exquisite thing in the world:
"That's the key!"
"Oh, oh, oh, you're my idol, Detective Kaneda! Tell me how you got this information. Watching Shinichi Kaneda's confident performance, Yorkham Jones shouted even more excitedly.
"This is my battle book!"
With a happy look on his face, Shinichi Kaneda raised his head to enjoy the rainstorm, then turned around and walked towards the place where he had entered:
"Sheriff Will, find out the identity of Mr. Thief as soon as possible, and then tell me. ”
"High school detective, leave the evidence behind!" Officer Paber saw this and immediately yelled at Shinichi Kaneda.
"Bet on the reputation of Detective 'Shinichi Kaneda', Officer Paber! Please remember the time now! At the same time tomorrow, Shinichi Kaneda's name will be engraved in your heart forever!"
Kaneda Shinichi turned around and threw the 'knight' pawn to Paber, a sunny smile on his face full of youthful youthfulness and the confidence of his name as 'Detective Kaneda Shinichi'.
After taking the 'knight' chess piece, Paber immediately found that the chess piece was stained with blood and unknown feces, so he scolded Kaneda Shinichi:
"Damn!
Kaneda Shinichi didn't reply, just turned around and walked forward, and raised his hand a few times.
After watching Kaneda Shinichi leave, Yorkham Jones took out the police badge in his pocket and handed it to Will: "Sheriff Will, from now on, I will not be your subordinate! The next time you see me, please call me Mr. Pastor!"
With that, while Officer Will was in his place, Yorkham Jones ran towards the exit.
"Damn Jones, hand over the pistols and handcuffs!" Fat Will yelled when he came back to his senses and saw that Yorkham Jones had run away.
In response to Fat Will, it was a hard blow.
As soon as there was a hot pain on his face, Will heard Yorkham Jones' voice:
"Remember, this is the last time you'll yell at me!
Looking at the pistols and handcuffs on the ground, and watching the figure of Yorkham Jones walking away, the two lumps of fat on Fat Will's face shook in the torrential rain:
"Hell, here's what's going on, how it's getting weirder than the other!"
...
On Daurson Street, Yorkham Jones was walking forward, when suddenly, a cute and playful voice came from the screening room next to him:
"I'm Vivian, I'm Lilith, Bibobipo, We're Star Sailor Moon!"
"Sir, would you like to buy a Bibo lightsaber for your lovely child, or add a beautiful girl pillow to your bed?" asked the clerk at the door, who saw Yorkham Jones stop.
"How do you sell it?"
Thinking of the hateful little boy at home, Yorkham Jones shook his head and turned around.
The clerk replied with a gentlemanly smile:
"Hello Mr. Reverend, the pillow is 2 Wake, the Bill Light Sword is 1 Waugh or 10 Wake, and of course it can be paid with poor Nobu coins. ”
"Are you sure you're right?"
Yorkham Jones yelled first, then pointed to the cute piggy-nosed Bibo lightsaber and said:
"1 Huaji can buy 2 kilograms of good Orsmond snow beef! Are you sure this broken plastic section is worth 20 kilograms of snow beef?"
The clerk pointed to the badge of light around Yorkham Jones' neck and smiled softly:
"Of course, my priest, this price is because the gentleman is a preferential price from the Priest of Light. ”
Yorkham Jones didn't reply, just turned around and walked forward.
"Sir, it's okay to buy a pillow, if you meet a child crying at home, and Mrs. is not at home, then you won't be offended." Seeing this, the clerk made a final attack.
Hearing this, Yorkham Jones's head immediately appeared in the head of countless little Lori arguing at him.
After shaking his head violently and driving away all the little loli in his head, Yorkham Jones said to himself:
"Anyway, it's Mr. Thief's money, and I don't feel sorry for spending it. ”
Then Yorkham Jones turned and walked into the screening room, and when he came out, he had two pillows, a Bibo lightsaber, and a delicate beautiful girl doll in his hands.
"Damn pretty girl, damn clerk! I'm almost out of money now. Looking at the things in his hand, Yorkham Jones couldn't help but curse a few times.
"Sir, welcome to the next visit. At this moment, the clerk's gentlemanly smile came from behind him.
"He must be laughing at me! Why is his mouth so talking? What a terrible Fourth Age! Humans are indeed the most cunning creatures, my bishop, come quickly, I don't want to use my brain. ”
Listening to the laughter of the clerk, Yorkham Jones hurried to the front as if he heard a dragon roaring, perhaps by this time, the lovely Mr. Yorkham Jones had forgotten that he was also a human.
Later, Yorkham Jones went to the lumber store and bought a rosewood, and then bought a lottery ticket with all the money he had left.
"Damn, forgot to leave the taxi money. ”
After walking out of the lottery shop, Yorkham Jones looked at what he was in his arms and immediately ran into the lottery shop again.
The girl who sold the lottery ticket took one look at it and asked:
"Mr. Pastor, do you still want to buy a lottery ticket?"
Yorkham Jones didn't reply, he first put the thing he was holding on the ground, and then quietly took off the badge of light and threw it in front of the girl:
"Give me 0.5 Huaji, and I'll pick it up together when I redeem the lottery ticket tomorrow." ”
The girl looked at the badge of light in front of her, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Pastor Jones, have you been in a hurry lately? I can lend you some if I need to. At that moment, a familiar voice came to his ears, and then Officer Paber walked into the lottery shop.
"Whew, my great goddess of light, fate can't bear to let me leave you. ”
As soon as he grabbed the badge of light and put it around his neck, and gasped a few times, Yorkham Jones turned to look at Officer Paber and said with a smile:
"Officer Paber, you're here just in time, borrow me a little money. ”
"As fellow believers of light, it is natural for them to help each other, so why should Mr. Jones use the word 'borrow'. ”
Paber laughed, then took out 1 Wall and handed it to Yorkham Jones.
"Thank you, Goddess of Light. ”
Jokham Jones first performed a prayer act, then took the money and picked up something on the ground, and said:
"Officer Paber, why don't you go to my house for breakfast first, and then go to the Church of Light for afternoon prayer?"
"If it was Pastor Jones's invitation, how could I, as a fellow believer of light, refuse?" replied Paber, helping Yorkham Jones with the rosewood, and walking out the door.
The girl who sold lottery tickets watched the two of them get out of the lottery shop, recalled the previous scene, and shook her head and gave up thinking:
"It's a strange world for adults. ”
...
As soon as the door of 309 was opened, a mellow smell of meat wafted into the mouths of both Yorkham Jones and Officer Paber.
The two glanced at each other first, and then looked towards the kitchen, so they saw a black-haired little Lori standing on a high stool brandishing a knife and fork, that movement can be described as extremely skillful.
Paber pointed to the little girl and asked:
"It is rumored that Mr. Jones has been celibate, I wonder who this is?"
Without waiting for Yorkham Jones to answer, the voice of Jingjing came:
"Sir, I am the adopted daughter of Pastor Jones, and my name is Ching Jones. ”
"It's really diligent and reliable, and it's enviable! My stupid boy can only make trouble except for trouble. When Paber heard this, he immediately shook his head and sighed.
"My favorite Mr. Pastor, I made Snow Mountain Beef Stewed Gourd, but I didn't know you had any friends, so you should wait a little longer. ”
Jing Jing tilted his head slightly, and began to wave his knife and fork again.
Seeing that things were developing like this, Yorkham Jones didn't say much, and directly pointed to the living room:
"Mr. Paber, you sit down first, and I'll change my clothes. ”
Once seated, Paber looked around, and after a few glances, he looked at the burned newspaper in the garbage can.
"I've been waiting, Mr. Pappour. By this time, Yorkham Jones had already changed his clothes and walked out.
Seeing this, Paber withdrew his gaze and found a random topic:
"I wonder what you want to do when you buy rosewood, Mr. Jones?"
After Yorkham Jones sat down, he pointed to the beautiful girl doll and the Billo lightsaber on the table, and said:
"Jingqing is very fond of beautiful girls in the stars, and Mr. Paber also has children, so he must know that these things are ridiculously expensive, so he can only make them himself. ”
"Damn the Chamber of Commerce, have the great Followers of Light been squeezed so far?"
Officer Paber first scolded twice, then exhaled, and said:
"I didn't expect Mr. Jones to carve things. ”
"Hey, it can't be helped, after all, the light believers also have to eat. ”
As soon as Yorkham Jones finished speaking, Qin Jing came over with a dinner plate, because there were several dishes on the plate, and there was a large bowl of soup, so he walked almost forward, which looked cute and distressing.
"Wow! It's a beautiful girl of the stars! And the light sword of Bibo! And the pillow!"
After putting the broth, bread, and roast pork chops on the table, Jingqing rushed to the side of the Star Maiden three-piece suit, completely ravaged it, and imprinted her own saliva mark before she put her things down and ran to Yorkham Jones.
"I love you so much, Mr. Pastor!"
As he spoke, he kissed Yorkham Jones, who had a long beard.
"Don't move when eating!
Yorkham Jones immediately flicked his head, reached out and took a chair next to him, and then hugged this hateful and cute little Lori.
A knife cut off a large piece of pork chop into his mouth, and while chewing, he muttered:
"No wonder I'm still single at such an old age. ”
"Still talking nonsense!"
In response to little Lori, it was a fist from Yorkham Jones.
"Haha..."
Seeing this, Officer Paber next to him couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"May the goddess of light bless. Then the three of them prayed a simple prayer and ate their breakfast quietly.
