The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 155 Consolation
As a devout Christian, Bessie's mother didn't go to the hospital when she was sick before, but went to the church and asked the elders to anoint her with oil-according to the Bible, the disease will be cured.

Of course, we all know that this is false, and it is the ignorant side of religion, which has long been abandoned by advanced-minded churches and believers.

...and neither she nor the elder followed.

Perhaps other open-minded pastors of the church have tried to stop it, but after all, these are written in the Bible, and believers insist on their own opinions, and they can't really stop them from doing so.

So... Bessie's mother did survive through immunity and the placebo effect before, but not that time.

Her condition worsened, and by the time she was sent to the hospital it was too late.

But even at the last moment, she clamored to go to the church and ask the elders to anoint her again so that she could survive.

After her mother died in such an absurd way, Bessie came to hate Christianity.

For this reason, I also quarreled with Isaac a lot.

5: Regarding the two hours when Daisy disappeared from home, what was Mrs. Wendy doing, and did the children see any suspicious ones.

Mrs. Wendy said she was at work.

The kids didn't see anything suspicious either.

6: About Officer Barov.

Mrs. Wendy said bluntly that she didn't like Barov.

Not only does it feel very bad, it handles the case sloppily and carelessly, and even tries to sexually harass her while her husband is away.

She said, may God forgive Barov's sinful soul.

And He Nan felt that this kind of scum who took advantage of his position to play hooligans had better go to hell.

If he believed in Christianity, and there really was a trial of the soul after death, then it was impossible for Barov to get the admission letter from heaven.

He didn't buy indulgences, did he?

… Speaking of sexual harassment.

He Nan thought of Shirley and felt very anxious.

It should be fine...

It was impossible for Shirley to be afraid of him.

People like Barov only dared to pick on those soft persimmons who didn't seem to dare to resist and had no combat effectiveness at all.

When he met a tough girl like Miyano Shiho, he didn't dare to make up his mind.

7: About "Monster".

He Nan asked her if she had heard that the Marvell family would tell their children stories about monsters.

Mrs. Wendy nodded and said she had heard.

But when Ho Nan asked what she meant, Mrs. Wendy seemed a little confused, saying that she didn't know either.

She only knew that this sentence was used to comfort the children.

"comfort".

This word caught He Nan's attention.

Why use this vocabulary?

Mrs. Wendy couldn't tell why.

She only said that the Isaac family kept these contents very confidential.

Why keep it secret?
The more He Nan heard it, the more disturbed he felt - there seemed to be some big secret hidden in it.

Therefore, he asked the following question.

8: Did Bessie and Isaac have any serious conflicts?Has anything scary happened at home?
Mrs. Wendy said that the most recent serious conflict was of course the quarrel with Isaac before Bessie disappeared.

He heard that the two had had a big fight.

Although I don't know what they talked about specifically, but since Bessie left home and hasn't returned, it can be seen that it must have hurt her heart.

As for whether any terrible things happened in Marvell's house, she didn't know.

9: Isaac and Reverend McCormick met before Daisy's funeral, is there any clue as to what they said.

Mrs. Wendy thought about it, and said that McCormick is a good person and an old friend of Isaac, and she will definitely enlighten him.

Including, how to face the future life and so on.

10: Do Isaac and his brother Benny see each other often?Where did Benny move and why?
According to Mrs. Wendy, they don't see each other very often.

Benny is a composer, and he usually stays at Marvell's home, which he also paid for, to create, and needs quiet.

Then he moved to an apartment on the other side of Manhattan, apparently because the kids were too noisy.

This statement caught He Nan's attention.

Is it really just because the kids are too loud?

He frowned, remembering that the word "monster" was used to "comfort" the children.

What does that mean?

If he really has a psychological problem, is the testimony that Rick told me wrong?

After He Nan asked these things, there was nothing left to ask.

So, he finished his tea, said goodbye to Mrs. Wendy, and walked out of the house.

Ok……

Just got a lot of clues...

He Nan looked at Marvell's house, lost in thought.

... Isaac must have escaped with Rick.

At least I won't be back within today.

He is so afraid that I know, what is it?

I always feel that through the conversation with Mrs. Wendy just now, I am a little closer to the answer...

He Nan frowned, thinking about whether to sneak into Marvell's house to investigate clues.

But he feels that breaking and entering is a last resort.

…before then, one should consider talking to someone else and try all legal means before stepping into the gray area of ​​detective work.

Well... let's go and visit the priest.

He Nan got into the car and looked at the address of Milo McCormick.

Just come to the door directly... It is easier to be rejected when talking on the phone, and it is easy to not ask many things over the phone.

Hope he is home.

He Nan quickly drove to the target location.

But after ringing the doorbell, there was no response, just like the Marvell family.

no one?

No way!
The first thing that Ho Nan thought of was... Did the pastor run off with Marvell?
No, no, no, it's not...

He Nan rang the doorbell again with anxiety, hoping that someone would respond this time.

However, there was still no movement at all.

Had he really run away with Isaac?
is this necessary?

Did they do something shady together... feel guilty now?
No, not so... Isaac left to escape grief, so to speak.

But if the pastor goes too... that's suspicious.

For this reason, He Nan asked the old man next door, who was basking in the sun, if he had seen the pastor who lived here.

The old man raised his sunglasses slightly, and said that he saw that the pastor also picked the tweed he planted himself, which seemed to be sent to the fallen leaves cemetery in Queens.

"A cemetery? Thank you." He Nan nodded and hurried into the car.

cemetery...

...Maybe he just went to see Daisy Marvel?

After all, she was the priest who presided over the burial, and she was the daughter of a good friend.

Isaac was away from home because of the case, and the pastor probably knew about it.

That touched his sad emotions, so it is quite normal to visit the cemetery...

Thinking this way, He Nan got into the car, hurriedly turned on the navigation system leading to the fallen leaves cemetery, and started the car.
