In the end, Ran Wenyu decided to pretend considerately that he didn't hear anything. After all, Aliya's complaints were very much to his liking.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Alia suspiciously, very dazed.

Aliya breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly shook her head: "No, no, it's nothing, I just thought of one thing, and I was a little surprised."

Ran Wenyu asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"

Aliya didn't talk about life and death, and Ran Wenyu didn't force it. After Aliya's condition improved, he helped her and checked out.

When she opened the room, she was still a delicate, charming, and magnificent beauty, but after more than an hour, she turned into a ravaged, listless and pitiful little girl. For a moment, the waiter at the front desk of the hotel looked at the two with even more subtle eyes. The waiter blushed quietly, while the male waiter showed an admiring and ambiguous smile at Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu:? ? ? ? ? ?

Ran Wenyu looked puzzled. After leaving the hotel with Aliya, he looked back and found two waiters talking excitedly together.

For some reason, Ran Wenyu always felt that the back of his neck was a bit chilly, and suddenly he felt a bad feeling, but before he could think about what was going on, he found Aliya who was walking beside him staggering.

Ran Wenyu was startled, and reflexively reached out to support her.Aliya raised her head and showed a grateful smile to Ran Wenyu: "Thank you, Deputy, Mr. Ran, I don't have much strength now."

"No need to thank you." Ran Wenyu smiled at her, and did not let go of the hand supporting Alia. He helped her to the side of the car and escorted her to the car safely. "It is my honor to serve the lady."

Alia sat in the driver's seat with a speechless face: "..."

——It's nice to say now, but when you tied me up just now, you didn't have the slightest gentlemanly demeanor.

Being interrupted by Alia, Ran Wenyu completely forgot about the strangeness just now, and it was not until the two drove away that a person turned around at the corner not far away.

The man has long blond hair, blue eyes, perfect facial features as if carved by the heavens, and a romantic and affectionate artist's temperament in his whole body.He is wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, but the details are extraordinarily ingenious, casual and stylish.

However, different from his beautiful and gentle appearance, the man's eyes are extremely cold at this time, brewing deep and dangerous emotions.He watched the handsome man and the beautiful woman leave together, and then walked towards the small hotel where the two had just walked out.

Seeing the man coming in, the eyes of the two front desk attendants brightened. They didn't expect that they were so lucky today that they received three beauties one after another, and each one was prettier and more eye-catching than the other.

Putting on the most cordial and friendly smile, the waiter watched the man approaching, just about to say hello, but suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and his eyes were dull for a moment.

"The two people who just left, what's their name? Did they open a room? How long? What did they do?" The man's voice was indifferent and severe, with a sense of commanding.

When the two waiters heard the question, their voices were stern: "The name of the gentleman is Ran Wenyu, and the name of the lady is Alia. They opened a room and it took one hour and 23 minutes." When they answered the last question, both of them paused , and then spoke again.

Male waiter: "As for a man and a woman opening a room at this time, what else can be the reason? Of course, everyone knows the reason."

Waitress: "Mr. Ran looks thin and quiet, but he is capable."

Male waiter: "I saw that Ms. Alia's wrist still has traces of being strangled by the rope. It seems that the game was quite intense."

Waitress: "It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance."

Blonde man: "……………………"

As the two waiters sang together and expressed their guesses in a firm tone, the blond man's eyes became colder and colder.He didn't say much, but turned and left the hotel.After his figure disappeared, the two waiters regained their sanity and looked at each other inexplicably.

Male waiter: "Did a customer come over just now? Why did I lose my mind?"

Waitress: "It seems that there is indeed a customer. I remember he was a handsome young man. Why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?"

The two talked for a while, but couldn't figure it out at all, so they had to put the matter aside.

What happened in the hotel, Ran Wenyu and Alia who returned to the library naturally didn't know anything. Ran Wenyu didn't even know that he had just been raped by two waiters for a long time, and they praised him as a pure little chick with strong abilities , have fun.

After entering the library, Aliya couldn't wait to find a vacant independent reading room, sat down to rest, and then sent a message to Jerak, asking him to come and meet with them after finishing his work.

About 10 minutes later, Jerak hastily opened the door of the independent reading room.

When Gerak was seated, Aliya couldn't wait to tell the clues she had investigated in the police station, and then looked at Gerak earnestly: "What did you gain there?"

Gerak shook his head: "Our previous guess was not wrong. Regarding the accident ten years ago, it was indeed kept silent within the church."

Next, Gerak described his investigation process during this period in detail.

Today, in addition to Priest Thomas, Priest Jona, who is in charge of finance, and Priest Jacob, who is in charge of personnel, stayed in the library. Priest Kevin, a student of Priest Thomas, and Priest Anthony, who was in charge of security, went to the venue where the ceremony was held. , to prepare for the ceremony five days later.

To inquire about Priest Thomas, Gerak naturally found his old acquaintances Priest Jona and Priest Jacob immediately.

Since all the senior members of the church knew that Gerak was assisting the vice-priest of the archbishop to find the missing Holy Grail, the two priests responded to his question very cooperatively, but once Gerak tried to lead the topic to the death of Priest Thomas The family members, the two immediately changed their frank attitude, kept secret, and talked about him from left to right.

Gerak had no choice but to change direction, and instead asked the ordinary congregants working in the library. These people didn't know much, and they were not restricted too much, so they might reveal a little bit of information.

"According to what I have learned, the wife of Priest Thomas, Ms. Shirley, is also one of the patriarchs of the church. She is an outstanding artist. She is obsessed with, or obsessed with, various arts. Crafts." After a pause, Jerak looked at Ran Wenyu, "I heard that the stained glass windows in the temple on Sabos Island were also designed by Ms. Shirley with all her heart and soul."

Recalling those stained glass with eerie patterns that could drop San just by looking at them, Ran Wenyu twitched his mouth, and said with insincere emotion: "That is really a talented lady."

Gerak and Alia, who had also seen the stained glass window and were impressed by it: "…………………"

Aliya turned her head away, her face full of words, while Gerak took a deep breath, and nodded in unconscionable agreement: "Yes, the death of such a lady is really a disaster for the religious order and the art world." huge loss."

Ran Wenyu looked at Jerak who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and couldn't help showing admiration.

"Then what news did you hear about Priest Thomas' son, Jones, and his daughter-in-law, Merry?" Alia didn't want to be forced to recall those horrible stained glass windows, and quickly changed the topic.

Jerak shook his head: "No, I don't know much about these two. Ms. Shirley's artwork is known as the treasure of the church, so ordinary church members have heard about it more or less. Her matter, but Jones and Meili are not well-known in the church, and I don't even know if they are believers or not."

After exchanging information with each other, the investigators fell silent.At present, they have learned a lot of information in bits and pieces, but they don't have a clear thread to connect these clues together, which is really a bit bald.

"I think, if we have a chance, we should go to Priest Thomas' house." Ran Wenyu said slowly, "This should be a very important investigation site."

Gerak and Aaliyah agree: "But the question is, how do we go there logically and without suspicion."

Before he finished speaking, Jerak's cell phone rang suddenly.

Gerak took out his mobile phone and found that the name of Priest Thomas was written on the caller ID.Gerak's eyes lit up, he showed Ran Wenyu and Aliya, motioned them to be quiet, and then quickly connected the phone.

What was said on the other side of the phone, Gerak nodded again and again: "Yes, the dean of the priest is by my side, I will ask him to answer the phone."

After finishing speaking, Jerak held the mobile phone in both hands, and handed it to Ran Wenyu respectfully.

Ran Wenyu took the phone, but did not put it to his ear, but directly pressed the hands-free button.The eyes of the two investigators lit up one after another, and they gave Ran Wenyu a look of approval.

Ran Wenyu ignored the expressions of the two, and said to the phone, "Hello, Priest Thomas."

"Hello, Lord Deacon." Thomas said in a respectful voice, "You have worked so hard all the way to Pugs City, and started investigating the case without a break. I and several priests are very grateful for this. Tonight, we want to I want to entertain you at my residence, do you have time for the banquet?"

For the investigators, this invitation was like sending a pillow just after dozing off, which couldn't be more coincidental.However, the investigators also know that this should be the intentional arrangement of the module. Even if the investigators took a detour in the investigation on the first day and did not notice the suspicious points in Thomas Priest's family, this dinner will also allow the investigators to understand Priest Thomas understood a little bit more, so he noticed something was wrong.

"Thank you for your invitation. I am very much looking forward to tonight's banquet." Ran Wenyu readily agreed without forgetting his teammates, "Jerak and Alia also helped a lot today, and they deserve to be commended. Can I take them with me?" ?”

"Of course, you can bring them here, and we also need to thank them for their efforts." Priest Thomas agreed without hesitation.

After confirming the time and place, Ran Wenyu hung up the phone, pushed the phone to Jerak, and smiled slightly: "There is still some time before dinner, everyone has been busy all day, let's take a rest and recharge your batteries. Tonight, We might still be busy."

Aliya and Gerak all smiled—for the investigators, "being busy" is much better than "idling".After all, being busy means that the investigation can make progress, which means that they are one step closer to clearing the customs module, and doing nothing is equivalent to a deadly level.

"Speaking of which, this NPC named Ran Wenyu is really knowledgeable and useful." Aliya moved closer to Jerak and sighed in a low voice, "I've started to like him a little bit."

"Yes, his cooperation is really high, and he works harder than us investigators." Jerak nodded, "It feels like he is a roundworm in the stomach of our investigators. He understands what we need and wants very well. do what."

Ran Wenyu pretending he didn't hear anything: "…………………"

——Hearing my little friends praise the NPC I play so sincerely, it feels really delicate.

——Suddenly a little curious, what kind of expressions will they show when they complete the module and meet in the future talk space?
