The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

Lu Nier also closed his eyes and fell asleep with sleepiness.

When he opened his eyes again, it was Lunier who heard an abnormal movement.

His sleep is very light, and even the slightest movement can wake him up, such as the slight sound of footsteps.

Lu Nier judged the direction of the footsteps, and then quietly raised his head to look.

A sneaky person was walking towards the pulpit of the church step by step. Probably because the church had no lights and the pews were sheltered, this person did not notice the existence of Lu Neil and the others.

The pulpit is similar to the podium in the classroom. It is a place where the clergy explain the doctrine and pray to the believers.

Lu Nier wanted to remind Alonia, but then found that Alonia had already woken up and tugged at the corner of his clothes with her hands.

Lu Nier looked through the gap between the benches, and saw Alonia stretching out her index finger to his lips, reminding Lu Nier not to make a sound.

After a while, the suspicious person walked to the pulpit, knelt down suddenly, and then muttered something, as if he was praying.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Alonia made a decisive move. Lu Nier didn't even see when she got up, but saw Alonia rushing towards the back of the suspicious person.

And this guy who behaved strangely in the middle of the night was not strong at all. He seemed to have just noticed Alonia's surprise attack, and when he was about to turn his head to look back, he was knocked unconscious by Alonia.

It is also very easy to wake him up, just give him some painful stimulation.

There is nothing special about the appearance and figure of this suspicious person, but there is still some fear and panic on his face. Obviously, he was in a state of panic when he passed out, and he was obviously afraid of being discovered, otherwise it would not be a big deal. I came to the church to pray inexplicably at night.

After a little use of tricks, the suspicious figure woke up and let out a weak cry of pain.

Seeing that the target woke up, Lu Nier withdrew his hand and did not continue to slap him.

"What did you... do to me?!" After the suspicious person woke up, he felt his face was hot and numb, and then the pain radiated from his cheeks on both sides, which made him feel a little bit unbearable. Can't help crying out.

"Did you not understand your current situation?" Alonia said, "It seems that I need to let you understand, don't stop, continue."

Lu Nier continued to wave the hand he had just received, and slapped the suspicious person who had just woken up shaking his head.

Alonia didn't consider the chances of hitting the wrong good guy at all, because which good guy would sneak into the church in the middle of the night?

This kind of behavior is obviously only possible when you are sick.

"Don't! Stop hitting!" The suspicious figure begged for mercy.

Lu Nier's slap didn't hurt much, but what happened after that was something he didn't want to see no matter what.

That was the fate after being arrested. He had guessed whether there would be people from the Investigation Bureau ambushing him here, but he really had nowhere to go!

It has to be said that the reason why he returned to the church was entirely in a very dramatic way.

He wasn't the kind of fool who would return to the church to die, but the other investigators were so capable that they blocked all his escape routes and hiding places.

He didn't dare and couldn't go to other places at all. After wandering around for a while, he finally came to the classroom with a broken heart.

"Say, what's your name?"

"I..." After hesitating for a few seconds, the suspicious person who sneaked into the church in the middle of the night decided to confess, "My name is Martin."

This name is exactly the name of the suspect who is suspected of fleeing.

Alonia was also a little surprised, she didn't expect to be able to pick up a big pie while sitting.

"Are you the real murderer who killed Dosha, Piro and others?" Alonia questioned.

"No! Not me!"

Hearing Alonia's questioning, the suspect named Martin shook his head repeatedly and hurriedly denied.

"I can swear to Sansheng that the person who committed such a crime is definitely not me!"

"Oh? Then why did you run away today?"

"This..." Martin was a little overwhelmed by the question. He organized his words before replying cautiously, "This is what a believer told me. He said that I will be caught by you and locked up forever. I provided an escape route."

"believer?"

"Well, that's a very loyal believer...Let's put it this way, he has always been at the top of the list of sponsors in our church. I didn't believe much in his words at first, until..."

At this point, Martin's eyes flickered, he became a little hesitant, and refused to continue talking.

"Until what? Don't be secretive, just say it!"

"Knowing that he told me that I embezzled the church's public funds and had an affair with a female believer..."

Judging from Martin's reaction, these news are obviously true.

In other words, this Martin is not a good thing either.

"And then?" Alonya continued to ask, "How did you do it?"

"He let me run away, because he had already told the investigation bureau about these things, saying that now you are going to arrest me. In order not to be caught by you, I left through the back door when the people from your investigation bureau came to ask. After I escaped from the church, I looked around for a suitable place to hide and rest, but everywhere I went, there were people from the Investigation Bureau there, so I had to venture back to the church. I originally planned to die on the chair sleep through the night..."

"The believer, the person who let you escape and know your secret, what's his name?" Alonia asked the most crucial question, "What's his appearance, age, and gender?"

"do not know……"

"do not know?"

"Yes, I really don't know who he is. He is an anonymous donor and usually only communicates with me through letters. Oh, by the way, his signature is pastor."

"Priest……"

It has the same title as the counselor Dosa met, and it's hard not to connect the two.

"Haven't you ever thought about why he let you escape while reporting your secret?"

"Of course I have thought about this, obviously want to come, I think he must be playing me..." Martin guessed, "Although I don't know who he is, but this guy who claims to be a priest must have mental problems!"

It can be heard from Martin's tone that he is full of resentment for the man who has disturbed his life.

In any case, this guy named Martin is obviously not a good person. If what he said is true, then he must have committed a serious crime. Otherwise, he would not be so panicked when he heard that his crime was reported. look like.

It does not rule out the possibility that he directed and acted by himself, or that there was no so-called pastor at the beginning, and there was only Martin, and the so-called rhetoric was all deceptive lies, but this possibility is unlikely, because according to Fajis It is said that the suspect named Martin is a man with a family. Not only that, but the family is very happy, and he even has a son.

Martin and his family have lived under the same roof for a long time. If there is any secret, it should be difficult to deceive, so it is relatively easy to verify the authenticity of Martin's words.

What's more, what he has disclosed now includes the crime of having an affair with a female believer. Once this is exposed, Martin estimates that there will be no peace in his future life.

"Master investigators, how do you plan to deal with me?" Martin asked with some anxiety, "How long will I be in prison after I am arrested?"

"Well..." Alonia thought for a while, "It's nothing more than having an affair with a female believer. It's a matter of your personal style, but the embezzlement of public funds is judged according to the amount of seriousness, which is basically equivalent to theft. ..."

Alonia didn't bother to explain too much to Martin, and after asking some questions, she notified Fargis and the others.

Fudges rushed here very quickly, perhaps because he didn't expect that the suspect, Martin, was really stupid enough to return to the church, so his face was a little ugly.

When he came to the church, he saw Martin who had been captured without a fight, and then he looked at the team around Martin.

"You are doing well."

Although he really didn't want the intern team to share the achievements of the mission, but the fact is that it's hard for him to say anything.

Fargis turned his attention to Martin, and then started the live interrogation.

Martin is a guy with no backbone, and he doesn't use any criminal investigation methods at all. Whatever Fajis asks, Martin answers. He is a coward. S asked.

"Since I know that you have an affair with a female believer and embezzled the church's public funds, it means that he usually pays attention to you, and at the same time has a deeper understanding of the finances of the Church of the Three Saints." Fajis analyzed, "very It is possible that he is your colleague and one of the clergy of this church."

Then Martin was asked about some details of his usual work, how he got along with his colleagues, and even some unnecessary interpersonal relationships.

After asking a bunch of information he wanted to know, Fargis temporarily let Martin go, and turned to target other people in the church.

This church of the Three Saints is also a relatively famous church nearby, with a large number of people. There are several clergymen who are responsible for the normal operation of this church, and this does not include those staff such as cleaners and handymen. .

Fajis stayed up all night, and asked those people one by one, and it turned out...

I don't know if I don't check, because I feel that some of them are hiding something, Fajis couldn't help using some torture methods, and in the end, he really found out something.

Martin is not the only one who is filthy in this church, or... In this Church of the Three Saints, there are basically no half good people, and there are more or less unknown crimes.

For example, the main person in charge of this church, that is, the priest, is the biggest hole in the church's finances.

The main source of income for this church is donations from believers, but he actually holds two ledgers in his hand. One ledger records that the church’s finances are relatively poor, while the other ledger is the exact opposite. Several wealthy believers have donated So much money that it feels a little rich.

This priest deliberately used false accounts in order to avoid taxes. In this way, he avoided a large amount of taxes, and all the taxes went into his own pocket.

As for the other clergy, apart from Martin who has some connection with the church's finances, several others use their clergy status to fool believers into providing them with private financial support and other things...

All in all, they didn't have the attitude of a normal priest at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were liars pretending to be priests.

But although they all have crimes, they are basically not guilty, and they are on the same level as liars and thieves.

"Can't find..."

Fajis thought that the real culprit was among these clergy, otherwise it would be impossible to know so much about Martin.

However, he didn't see at all which of these people was more suspicious, and which was the real culprit hidden among them.

So Fajis questioned everyone several times, and even deliberately set up some language traps, and caught some nasty people, but he still didn't think he was the real murderer.

"Is that all there is?"

"Yes, the entire staff of our church is here, if you don't count the people who do the chores..."

"Do chores?"

"It's just a cleaner or something."

"Call them too."

So Phages began to ask questions non-stop, and asked all the people who worked in the church several times, but in the end he had nothing but to add a few more petty crimes to these people.

After questioning to no avail, Fudges set his sights on Martin.

"Why him? Why did he do that?"

In fact, the real murderer could have continued to hide himself without notifying Martin of any outrageous behavior. As long as he maintained a normal state of mind and behavior, he could avoid attracting the attention and suspicion of the Bureau of Investigation.

But the real culprit tricked Martin into escaping, causing the Bureau of Investigation to draw all attention and attention to Martin and the church, and also learned that the prisoner might be someone from the church...

"and many more!"

Fajis suddenly thought of a possibility.

What if Martin is just an attention-grabbing bait?

The real murderer knew they were going to church, and knew they were trying to find him there, so he deliberately pushed out Martin, who was acting suspiciously, to attract all their attention...

第 286

Chapter 284 The Frenzied Trial (9)

Tune the tiger away from the mountain, hit the east and the west...

Fajis had this similar thought in an instant.

The murderer deliberately let Martin be suspected by them, and then drew their attention to him so that he could do something.

Otherwise, in the current situation, it would be difficult to explain the murderer's inexplicable behavior.

"Which employee in the church hasn't arrived yet?"

"Everyone is here." The head priest said, "Everyone in the church is here, whether it's members of our Three Saints Church or the employees hired to do odd jobs, I can be sure."

Fargis frowned, feeling that the current case was getting more and more complicated. He originally guessed that the real culprit was among these people, but now he is not so sure...

Looking at the sky that was gradually turning white, Fajis felt more and more ominous.

According to the previous intelligence experience, the murderer usually acts in the early morning. If the murderer asked Martin to lure them away to do something, then it is estimated that they have already done it by now.

And he couldn't understand why the murderer deliberately used Martin as a bait to attract their attention.

After all, apart from speculating that the murderer might be a clergyman and a psychological counselor who claimed to be a "priest", they didn't have any conclusive evidence or clear clues at all.

In other words, even if the murderer commits a crime next time, they will have no way to stop him. Unless they are discovered, they will not know who his target is. Using Martin to attract their attention is simply superfluous.

What's more, how did he know that they chose the clergy as their target, and seemed to have expected that they would go to the church to look for them, and even let Martin escape in advance to attract their attention.

Why did he do this?

Just when Fajis was deep in thought, thinking about the purpose behind the actions of the real culprit, the clergy who were forced to cooperate with the investigation of the case began to grow impatient.

They began to protest, and Fargis had to be pressured to release some of them and take them into custody.

Among the sins confessed by these people, judging by the laws of the empire, the heaviest is undoubtedly tax evasion by priests.

According to the laws of the empire, he not only needs to pay all the tax evasion amount in full, but also has to pay a large fine.
