Tyrant Code

Goldo didn't quite understand why Karanzi asked him to do this investigation task at the beginning, until Karanzi gave him a list of people who were sent to perform the evidence collection task: "here The first two are people related to that bishop."

Gordon raised an eyebrow.

"He thought I didn't know." Karanzi poured a cup of tea for Gordon and handed it to him, "In the eyes of the bishop, I will definitely choose to uphold the rules of the court, so today he came here on the surface Persuading me to show respect and hand over the case directly to the Cardinal Council is actually urging me to send out this investigation team with inside ghosts."

"Now that you know who they are, you can just throw them out," Goldo said.

Karanzi shook his head: "It's not good to do too much. What's more, His Excellency Bishop is right about one thing. As a part of the Holy See, the court is connected with the Cardinal Council. It is almost impossible to be completely independent." Besides, I may not have checked everything..." He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Gordon, "But you are different. You have no position of favoring the Cardinal Council, and with your ability, you can This task was accomplished with a clean slate.”

Goldo: "Thank you for your trust. But I want to ask, the pastor involved in the case..."

"Josh Pubo." Calanzi revealed his name, "He is now under the control of the local church and will be transferred to the imperial capital immediately. The matter of detaining Josh is up to the committee and the Cardinal Council Those who witnessed together may be tricky, but they will definitely be sent to the imperial capital alive. The most urgent task now is to collect other witnesses and physical evidence."

"I see." Gordon nodded.

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you can set off from the imperial capital to Pope City with the investigation team." Karanzi said, "The schedule is a bit rushed, so I'm sorry."

So the next day, Goldo temporarily joined the team of investigators.

They were more or less taken aback when they saw Gordon.This team is composed of about five or six people. The person in charge was originally a slightly thin middle-aged man with twin temples, but after reading the documents of Gordo handed over by Karanzi, he immediately made a decision and appointed the leader of the team. The power was given to Gordon.

In fact, Gordo's rank as a judge was a little higher than him, but his move still saved Gordo a lot of trouble.

"I trust Mr. Karanzi's vision." The serious-looking middle-aged man said, "My name is Roman. Nice to meet you, Your Excellency the Viscount."

Sure enough, after having a title, the first impression that others had when they came into contact with him was "this young man is a nobleman with a title".Goldo didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Mr. Roman." Gordon replied, "Tell me about the itinerary of our investigation. Is it the same as the plan?"

"Yes." Roman put on his glasses and unfolded the documents in his hand, "This time we are mainly investigating the rich merchant family in Pope City, the Tenelan family. First of all, we need to identify the young master Hein of the Tenelan family. Whether Zizi is really suspected of being possessed by a demon, and whether his stepmother Adelina Tenelan really paid to bribe the pastor."

"It's not difficult to come up with an investigation result." Roman sighed softly, "The difficult thing is to find out the truth."

For example, did Adeline really bribe Josh with money? If Josh's investigation did not progress, and Josh and Adeline refused to admit it, it would be difficult for them to find a strong physical evidence.

Of course, their actions this time are not necessarily to prove the existence of bribery.

"Let's go and have a look first." Gordon said.

They hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the city of Pope on the fifth day.It was a city near the sea, and there were large black rocky beaches on the outskirts of the city.The town is not considered prosperous, and the tranquility here is even a little dull after seeing the prosperity and briskness of the imperial capital.

They stayed in the hotel set up by the church, and immediately began to investigate the matter of Tenelan's house.

The Tenelans knew nothing of their arrival.After the concierge notified the arrival of the Imperial Capital Church, the owner of the house came out in a panic.

"It's the gentlemen of the Holy See who are visiting... Oh, please forgive my impoliteness!" It was a rather fat man, he was wearing a bright and bright robe, but the belt was not completely tied, and he seemed to have left the house in a hurry, "Masters Please come in."

Seeing his flustered look in flattery, Goldo briefly introduced their reason for coming.

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just here to ask a few common questions." Goldo said with a smile. When he deliberately let go of his airs, his face was still very bluffing—in Mr. Tenelan's eyes, He is simply a gentle and kind noble young master, no matter how you look at it, he is easier to talk to than other people in the same company.

Several investigators who once saw how ruthless Goldo was in verbal battles with other judges in court: "..."

They looked at Mr. Tenelan, and they always felt that "Danger" was written on his forehead.

Goldo and the others followed Tenelan into his manor.Tenelan is worthy of being a rich man in this city, the interiors of the manor are quite luxurious, and even the tea set he used to pour tea for Gordo was a precious tea set that came across the ocean from the Eastern Continent.

"Please use it," Tenelan said.

Gordon smiled gently: "Let's get straight to the point—we're here for your son."

Tenelan panicked instantly, and the blood on his face slowly faded. He explained with some collapse: "You are also here for my son? I knew... the exorcism ceremony presided over by the pastor was only It was interrupted halfway through, maybe it didn't take effect. But please believe me, he is the only one in our family who was bewitched by the devil, I—"

Goldo signaled him to stop: "Actually, we are here to investigate the truth of the matter today to see if your son is really possessed by a demon. The priest's exorcism ceremony was a little bit wrong in the procedure. mistake."

Tenelan froze.

"Anyway." Gordon stood up, "Let me go see him first. By the way, is your wife at home?"

Tenelan: "She's not here, she went out to pray..."

"So that's how it is, your wife is really pious." Goldo pretended to admire, and then took advantage of the gap in his turn to invite Roman over, "Find someone to investigate the church that Mrs. Tenelan often goes to. Yes. Get some news from the residents near the church."

Roman nodded.

Goldo was led to another place by Tenelan.

It was a low mud building that looked different from the other buildings in the manor.The paint marks on the wall were mottled and looked old, and there was only one window. Looking from the outside, that window was dark and had a desolate and gloomy atmosphere.

"Because the exorcism ceremony was interrupted in the middle, we don't know if the devil on his body has been exorcised..." Tenelan said, "so we can only temporarily lock him in a place where no one is there—"

Gordon interrupted him, frowned and said, "Open the door."

"Yes Yes Yes."

A somewhat dilapidated door was pushed open, and there was a smell of decaying wood.The room was so dark that only the ground could be seen.

Gordon took a few steps forward and found a figure.

He squatted in the corner of the sundries, and there was a frozen bloodstain on his fair and thin face.His eyes were slightly closed, as if he had passed out, but he seemed to be awake at the same time.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes wearily, and cast his eyes on the place where Gordo was standing.

His face was a bit too pretty, but his expression was neither sad nor happy, like a puppet.

Goldo walked over, knelt down, and held out his hand to the child, ignoring Tenelan's gasp.

"Hello, Heinz."

Heinz stared at Gordo for a long time, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.But Gordon did not urge him, but patiently waited for him to understand what he meant.

Sure enough, Heinz hesitated for a moment, and tentatively stretched out his dusty hand——

Hold hands together.There seemed to be something silently neighing in the air.Heinz withdrew his hand in surprise, and looked up at Gordon unexpectedly.

There was no special expression on Gordon's face.

"It's just an ordinary kid." He sighed, and said to the incredible Tenelan behind him, "If he behaves a little weird, you don't have to mind too much. Because maybe he's just born different—some people That's it."

Tenelan's face turned from green to pale. He looked at his son, not knowing what expression to put on: "But the pastor said—"

"If you're talking about Josh, he will be convicted soon. Because he is not qualified to exorcise demons." Gordon sighed, "It's better to say that there has been no successful exorcism so far. merit."

Tenelan understood Goldo's words, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch: "So, he is..."

A magic stick.

Tenelan didn't dare to say it, but Goldo completed the rest of the words in his heart.

"Don't believe in the words of demons possessing you in the future. There are not so many demons in the world, there are only all kinds of inconceivable magic displayed, and lies produced by complicated people." Goldo said so, and glanced at the squatting Heinz in the corner—

He felt right.

Heinz was his "kind"...a powerful, untapped dark talent.
