The high-ranking officials and nobles never imagined that their every move was under the surveillance of one person, and every word was recorded by the people around them and conveyed to the people behind the scenes.

"You mean, there is a very strange lover recently, every time he looks for you, he wears a mask?" Jiqiu softly asked the young girl named Donna in front of her.

Donna looks gentle and beautiful, with a pair of almond eyes full of autumn water. The most rare thing is her clean temperament. No one can connect her with a prostitute, "Yes, Dr. Goetti. He has a very soft voice. Strange, as rough as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other."

"For example, like this?" Jiqiu picked up the linen and paper at hand and folded them together to cover his mouth and made a sound.

"That's right, that's the sound!" Donna nodded hastily.

Jiqiu put down the tool in his hand, "He has hidden a kind of mechanism in the mask, which can change the tone of pronunciation. This person is very concerned about his identity being seen through."

"Ah, what should I do?" Donna asked worriedly, thinking of those cold and slippery hands, she felt a little scared.

"Pretend nothing happened, and show no interest in his true face." Jiqiu comforted the restless girl, she rubbed her chin and said, "You mentioned just now that he kept you and didn't allow you Are you in touch with your former lover again?"

Donna nodded. She lowered her head and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the criss-crossing red marks on her arms, "Not only that, he doesn't like me wearing revealing clothes, and even has special hobbies."

Jiqiu took Donna's hand and looked at it carefully, her strength was controlled just right, looking terrifying.

But there was no bleeding. She took out a jar of ointment from the medicine cabinet behind her. "It will be better if you apply this. Don't drink alcohol during the medication, or it will leave scars."

Donna was not one of the most popular courtesans. Compared with those delicate flowers, she was more like a little daisy. Most of her previous lovers were meek.

A month ago, her old lover took her to a masquerade ball with a mysterious expression on her face, where she met this strange man. She originally only wanted to start a dewy relationship, but she couldn't escape it unexpectedly.

'I like clean girls and have a penchant for invisible people. '

'No calluses on hands = pampered(?)'

'I don't want others to recognize me, I have a high status in society, and the evaluation should be positive. '

"Is there anything distinguishable about his clothes?"

Donna lowered her head and recalled, "No, he only covers himself under the black robe every time, even when he does it, he doesn't take off his clothes."

"Is there any deformity in his body?"

"I can't tell. At least I haven't seen him during the day. He kept me in a villa in the suburbs. He only appears two or three times a week, and they are all at night."

After Jiqiu learned most of the information, she asked Donna to go out through the small door in the backyard of the house, and then she sat on a chair and used her brain to deduce. She combined various clues and made the boldest guess. This person came from Religion, in a high position.

What she didn't expect was that a week later, she received the news that Donna had committed suicide.

"Suicide?!" Jiqiu frowned. She had met Donna a week ago and she was in a normal state of mind, so she couldn't commit suicide suddenly.

"Yes, the poor girl had been hanging from the beam for two days when she was found."

Anais said with pity that she had seen too many young lives die on this road, and her heart had already been tempered to be extremely cold.

"May I see her dead body?"

"Of course you can if you want, but let me warn you that this is not a pretty thing."

Through the relationship of Anais, Jiqiu was able to come to the morgue. She put on the gloves and lifted the white cloth under her hands. Donna's body was already stiff, and corpse spots appeared on her face.

Anais stood not far away, watching the young man rummaging through the girl's body. She had known her for a long time, but she always felt that her understanding of her was just the tip of the iceberg.

"She was strangled to death with a rope." Jiqiu covered the white cloth with a calm expression.

"How did you find out?" Anais asked curiously.

Jiqiu walked to the other side of the corpse, and she raised the arm of the corpse, "Look at her hand, her wrist is bleeding heavily, the murderer should have bound her wrist, and then strangled her neck with a rope."

"Since you can see it, the police officers must also be able to find this suspicious point. Why did they agree to close the suicide case?"

"Because of the identity of the murderer." Jiqiu took off her gloves and put them in her pocket, she already had a suspect in her mind.

It's a pity that there is no evidence. "He committed the crime on a whim. Donna died during the exercise. She saw the other person's face. In order to keep a secret, she killed her."

"How do you know it's the process of movement?"

"I saw some kind of dried fluid in her thigh? base? and her lower part, there was a slight tear. I had a full body check on her a week ago and probably remembered where the old injury was on her body.

Compared with before, there were many more traces. Donna died in her lover's house. No matter what, the police station would ask the owner of the house for questioning.Such an obvious cover-up. "

"Do I know that person?" Anais was worried, she had just confirmed in her mind that her lover had no time to commit the crime.

"Of course, you can meet him when you go to church." Jiqiu sighed, and stuffed Donna's arm under the white cloth, "Does she have any relatives?"

"No, her parents used to be servants in a certain noble family in Marseilles, and they were beaten to death for committing a mistake. Donna escaped from there, and came to Paris penniless and without any skills, so she could only engage in this kind of industry. "

"Then choose a better burial for her to bury." Jiqiu took out five hundred francs from his pocket and handed it to Anais.

Anais didn't answer, her face was gloomy, "You don't need to do this, I've already bought a cemetery for her."

"Then let's go."

Jiqiu strode away from the morgue, she summoned a carriage and sent Anais up.

"Where are you going?" Anais quickly poked her head out of the window. She looked at the young doctor with a calm face. She had a lot of things to say in her heart, but she was afraid of being overheard by others and implicating him.

"The Church of St. Etienne-de-Mont." After Jiqiu finished speaking, he left without hesitation, the hem of his coat turning into a wave.

When she came to the church, the pastor and believers were distributing mass to the poor begging around.

"Count Goetty?" The head priest recognized him.

Jiqiu is not surprised that they know her, after all, every month she randomly selects people who can't see the doctor for free clinics.

"Is your bishop here?"

"Bishop Wilfred is giving a confession to the believers, you can wait outside the confession room for a while," the pastor said.

Jiqiu stepped into the church for the first time in her life. She looked at the huge cross in front of her, on which was the crucified Jesus. She didn't feel any fluctuations in her heart. Instead, she looked at the reliefs on the window.

After a while, a believer with a relieved face came out of the confessional, muttering a series of words of gratitude to the Lord.

After the believers left, Jiqiu saw Bishop Wilfred coming out from the other end of the confessional.

Wilfred is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a kind appearance and a tall and strong figure. What doesn't match his strong figure is that he has a pair of skinny hands.

'His hands are long and well-kept, perfect for playing the piano, and they are so impressive that a woman might be jealous. Jiqiu's words flashed through Donna's mind.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Bishop. This is His Majesty's personal doctor, Adrian Goetti." Ji Qiu said politely.

Wilfred took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I know you, Earl Goetty, His Majesty's most trusted servant."

"Are you here to pray, or to confess?"

Jiqiu shrugged indifferently, "Who knows, I'm not a Catholic."

"As long as you are not a heretic, we will not expel you." Wilfred looked very meek, and his expression did not change after being so provoked.

"Master Bishop, have you ever praised your beautiful hands?"

The sudden turning point made Wilfred stunned for a moment, "Maybe there is."

"I noticed that your tiger's mouth was injured. Such a pair of noble hands were hurt, and I, a doctor, couldn't bear it. Can I bandage it for you?"

"Oh, this little injury will scab over in a few days, so I don't need to bother you." Wilfred shrank his fingers subconsciously.

Naturally, Jiqiu would not give him this opportunity, and immediately took out a simple dressing tool from his pocket, "It's very simple, it only takes a few minutes."

A trace of doubt arose in Wilfred's heart, but he didn't think that a (female branch) girl would have anything to do with the court doctor, plus he had investigated the woman's relationship before, and she was completely different from Earl Goetti people of the world.

"Hey, then please."

Sitting on a chair, Jiqiu patiently disinfected the wound. She glanced at the wound and then bandaged it with gauze. "Okay, try to eat light these days."

"Thank you, doctor." Wilfred moved his fingers and found that the flexibility of his fingers was not affected at all, "Your bandaging skills are really good, just now I was worried that I would not be able to play the piano. "

"Thank you for the compliment." Jiqiu cleaned up the mess on the table, and finally walked to the statue of Jesus in the church hall, and made a simple gesture, "It really is him. '

Seeing the pious expression of the young doctor, Wilfred flashed an imperceptible joy in his eyes, "If only Count Goetty could be brought over. ...'

"It's getting late, please allow me to say goodbye." Jiqiu bowed slightly and left the church.

She finally confirmed which faction the group of people against her belonged to.
