Tale of the Seventh World 18
"Ya Heng is my friend, is this an acceptable reason?" Corporal Linn looked at Inspector Upton and said.
"Okay! The preliminary inspection of the scene is over, and I just want to go to the scene to see what new discoveries are made," Inspector Upton nodded and said.
After Inspector Upton finished speaking, he saw the fat policeman walking in from the main entrance of the hospital and said a few words. After that, he and Corporal Linn walked out of the lobby on the first floor of the hospital.
Arriving at the main entrance of the hospital, Inspector Upton walked directly towards a car, followed by Suhang and others. Inspector Upton sat directly on the passenger seat of the convertible, a short man
policemen around start the car.
The color of the car is bright red. In Suhang's opinion, the convertible, which is old enough to be put in a museum, seems to be the most fashionable now. Suhang's memories from another world made him understand what antiques are.
Suhang and Corporal Lin sat in the back seat of the convertible. It felt okay to lean on the backrest and there was no discomfort.
"Corporal, I just received a call. Second Lieutenant Avery asked me to find him." Osmond, who had disappeared in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital just now, suddenly appeared next to Su and Hang.
"Did he arrange any tasks for the second lieutenant?"
"I didn't say anything, just asked me to find him." Osmond said he didn't know anything, only that the second lieutenant wanted to see him.
"Okay, you deal with things first, let's go to the crime scene," Corporal Linn said while sitting in the car.
After talking to Corporal Linn, Osmond quickly left the hospital and headed to the other end of the street.
Watching Osmond disappear at the door of the hospital, Corporal Lynn looked at Inspector Upton sitting in front of him and said, "Let's go too!"
"Okay, let's go!" Inspector Upton said, looking at the police officer sitting behind the wheel.
The car left the hospital smoothly and quickly, heading in the opposite direction from where Osmond had just left.
One hour ago, the living room of the main building of Roberts Manor:
A cup of steaming coffee was placed on the coffee table. Dean Charles was sitting on the sofa wearing the latest pajamas. He dragged the newspaper with his left hand and spread it out while flipping it with his right hand. He looked at today's latest "Daily Telegraph"
Newspaper".
"Ding, ding, ding!" The ringing of the phone instantly broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the room. Looking at the ringing phone, the dean said to himself that you'd better give me a good reason, otherwise I will let the caller go to the front line.
Chapter 43: Shenguang Church
.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding!" The phone rang one after another. Dean Charles was disturbed by the sudden ringing, and his face darkened. He thought to himself that if this is not an important matter, then the caller will definitely be in trouble for you.
Although I am unhappy and still thinking about it in my heart, I still have to answer the phone in case there is something important!
"I'm Charles, who are you?"
"Dean, this is Ralph, and I found the information you want." A thick voice said from the other end of the phone.
"That tattoo?"
"Yes, Dean."
"There is a tattoo on the chest of a man kneeling on the ground with no scalp and covered in blood. This kind of tattoo first appeared in the Netherlands. It appeared in West Sussex in southern England two years ago, mainly in the Chichester area."
"The tattoo belongs to an organization called 1'Church of Divine Light'. They promote 'the end of the world and the ascension of souls'. Their peripheral members have that tattoo on their chests." Ralph's thick voice came through the microphone with unusual clarity.
, even a little deafening.
"Why did they come to London?" Dean Charles asked in a deep voice.
"That's not clear. It took a long time to get this news." Relf said that he had tried his best.
"Is there any other related news?"
"The officials of Sussex County once organized a siege against them because a local nobleman spread doomsday speeches everywhere and even burned his family to death. The nobleman later set himself on fire and died.
He told everyone that he wanted to repent to the light." Ralph told a true incident that had happened in the 'Shenguang Church'.
"The encirclement and suppression failed, right?" Dean Charles asked after taking a sip of coffee.
"No, most of the members of the 'Shenguang Church' in that area died, and no one survived. Most of them burned themselves to death when they could not escape. Only a few people escaped," said Relf.
"Can you find out which country they are in?"
"No one knows which country or region their base camp is in. Their leader Wayne in Sussex County escaped, and there was nothing gained except a pile of ashes." Relf told what he learned
Dean.
"Ah! By the way, there is this sentence that Wayne said, 'The disasters happening in the world now are no accident. We are approaching the end of the world as terrifying as in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.' He said that only
Only by joining the great 'Church of Divine Light' can we avoid the doomsday disaster." There was a faint sound of flipping through paper on the other end of the phone.
"You said that the tattoos of their outer members are people without scalps and kneeling on the ground covered in blood. Do the internal members also have tattoos? What do they look like?" Dean Charles suddenly remembered the tattoo that Ralph mentioned at the beginning.
Then he asked.
"According to the information obtained, apart from the leader Wayne, the group of cultists in Sussex County only had two leaders who were internal staff, and the rest were peripheral members. These three people later ran away and died.
They are peripheral members. No one knows whether the internal members have tattoos. Even if anyone knew about it, it turned into ashes." Ralph said while flipping through the information on the phone.
"Dean, I arranged for someone to send you a piece of information that I found. It contains images of the time and more detailed events that happened in Sussex County. There is also a piece of information that records a small number of events that happened in Sussex County.
What happened in the Netherlands," Relf said.
"Okay, I will deposit your money in the Bank of Britannia." Dean Charles admired Ralph's ability to do things, even though he did not bring him any more important news this time.
After saying that, just as Dean Charles was about to hang up the phone, Ralph on the other end of the phone suddenly said: "Dean, when my people were investigating this cult, they discovered that the Secret Intelligence Service was also secretly investigating."
"Are you sure?" Upon hearing the news, his tone suddenly became serious.
"Dean, those guys' weapons and equipment can be said to be the best in the UK. They are famous internationally for eavesdropping and assassination. How could I not know that?"
"What's more, I've seen one of them at your place. There was a photo of them in the information bag I gave you. It's not very clear but you can identify who it is." Ralph said with certainty, very sure of himself.
Won't admit mistakes.
"Okay, I will pay you separately after confirming the news." Charles said that he would not treat those who work for him badly.
"That's great! Dean." Ralph had no intention of benefiting from this news, but now he was pleasantly surprised.
"Okay, I have something to do here." After saying that, he hung up the phone first. After hanging up the receiver, Charles sat on the sofa and pondered, thinking about the news brought by Ralph.
The person who attacked his son obviously wanted to target himself. He could have killed his son but instead just wounded him, or wanted to kidnap him. In order to coerce him, the failure of the task caused the other party to lose patience and kill him directly. The killer and
If it is related to a cult, then this matter will be difficult to handle. After all, those people are crazy lunatics, and there is no guarantee that they will do anything wrong.
Thinking of this, Dean Charles immediately picked up the phone and called Lieutenant Avery. There were soldiers at the hospital in London watching the phone to notify the Lieutenant at the police station at any time.
The call was received by the guarding soldiers. Dean Charles directly issued an order to the soldiers, asking them to monitor the entire hospital at all times, not to let down their guard against any strangers, and to guard the hospital in shifts to prevent accidents from happening at all times.
"Ding, ding, ding!" A phone rang rapidly in the public office area of the Metropolitan Police Department. A young man wearing a police uniform and glasses picked up the phone and asked: "This is the Metropolitan Police Department. Who are you calling?
?”
"Is Ensign Avery from Irelandtown here?"
"Sir, Lieutenant Avery is in the superintendent's office. Do you have anything important to do?" The young man's meaning was obvious. If there is nothing important, don't disturb the conversation of the superiors.
"I'm Charles Roberts." Dean Charles said his name directly without talking nonsense.
"Please wait a moment, Dean Charles." After saying that, the police officer gently put the phone on the table and ran to the superintendent's office.
"Dong dong dong!" The police officer knocked on the door of the first office on the second floor. After hearing the echo of people coming in, he opened the door and walked in.
The superintendent's office is a suite. The entrance is a 5-square-meter room. In addition to a wooden table and stools placed near the door, there is only an old European-style sofa leaning against the window.
A clothes hanger hung alone in the corner.
Sitting behind the wooden table is a young woman under thirty years old wearing a police uniform. She is not ugly but her appearance is diminished by her freckles. Her London accent can tell that she is a local. Behind the female police officer is the suite.
The inner room is also where the superintendent works, and the outer room is like a reception room. The female police officer looked at the police officer who walked in and asked: "Officer Chad, what can I do?"
"Miss Beverly, you are even more beautiful than yesterday." Chad looked at the female police officer and praised her. Everyone in the police department knew that she was a stinky and beautiful woman. If you don't praise her when you meet her, she will roll your eyes.
1 Shenguang Church: It is based on the Sun Temple Cult and integrates many modern cult organizations on the original basis.
The time was spent talking to each other. Although London is not yet full of cars, it is the capital of the United Kingdom and there are still a lot of cars. Almost every family of the upper class aristocrats and rich people has a car, plus buses.
The road was still crowded with the pedestrians on the road, and the car arrived at its destination after half an hour of driving.
The car drove to the crime scene on Oxford Street. As the car approached the scene of the crime, there were more scattered people talking to each other. As for the topics they talked about, don’t think about it.
I knew it was the store Suhang and the others were going to.
At the door of the store where the crime occurred, the police had already set up a cordon. There were several police officers guarding the door next to the cordon, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.
Su Hang and Corporal Lin En got out of the car first, while Inspector Upton sat in the passenger seat and explained something to the short policeman.
Suhang got out of the car and looked at the second-floor store in front of him. It didn't look very big from the outside. The first and second floors combined were only about 500 square meters. It was a very ordinary store, and the surrounding ones
Compared with those shops, there is nothing outstanding. If there is anything different, it is the windows on the second floor. They are the characteristics of Gothic architecture. The large windows have large stained glass with biblical stories painted on them.
Suhang looked at the surrounding stores again. Some of the stores around John's store were open, but some were closed and should not be open. Logically speaking, in such a good location, they should not be closed, but in the past two years, due to
The impact of the world war has led to a decline in social security. Some shops are often harassed. Over time, many shops have been sublet or simply closed down. However, no one is selling shops. After all, when the security improves, here can
It is also a prime location in the West District!
Su Hang observed that there was a one-meter-wide distance between shops. There were some debris or trash cans placed in the empty "small alleys" between the houses. The ends of the aisles were sealed.
Corporal Lin En saw Suhang looking at the aisles between these stores and said casually: "The aisles between stores are sealed inside, and behind them is the private backyard of the store. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"Is it possible to cross between the backyard and the backyard?" Suhang turned to Corporal Lin En and asked, stroking his chin.
"A trained person should be able to do it." Before Corporal Lin En could speak, Inspector Upton stepped out of the car and came to Su Hang's side and heard Su Hang's words and said casually.
Su Hang nodded and didn't say anything. He just looked at the closed store to the right of John's store, thought thoughtfully, and followed Corporal Linn's side.
"Was the scene sealed immediately?" Just as Suhang was thinking about things and looking around the outside of the store, Corporal Linn next to him asked Inspector Upton who had just got off the car.
"Yes, it took less than ten minutes from the time when the groom found it to when the patrolmen sealed off the scene." Inspector Upton pointed to the store window directly opposite the store entrance and said: "The patrolmen happened to get there at that time and saw the opposite side.
A middle-aged man ran out of the store in a panic. When he saw him, he shouted loudly that someone was injured, and the patrolman followed and ran into the store."
"That middle-aged man was the groom, wasn't he? What else did he see?" Corporal Linn said.
"The groom only saw the two of them in the house, and no one else."
Chapter completed!
