Corporal Lin En walked into the study room and saw Su Hang looking through the notepad. He walked to the table with the bag and put it on the table. He looked at Su Hang and said, "Chu, the camera is there but it's broken. I

Let the police buy three identical Bibles and come back."

"good."

"I want to go back to the hotel and try to crack it, but after all, these books are evidence at the crime scene and cannot be taken away. Then I can only take photos and record them, but it is no problem if the same Bible is marked again."

Su Hang looked at Corporal Lin En sitting across the table and said.

"We can just mark these and take them away."

"Are you still writing the annotations?"

"Mark them all!" Su Hang looked at the annotations of John in the Bible and thought about how they might be useful!

"Oh! Let's get started, it's a lot of work!" Corporal Linn looked at the annotations and muttered, feeling like he had dug a hole and jumped in. He was talking too much!

Chapter 55: The Beggar’s Words

.

John is a bookworm. Almost every page of the three Bibles he has read has its own annotations. He has his own understanding of similar places in the three Bibles. Why do different denominations understand the Bible?

No, he always gave comments and comments based on the knowledge he had learned in daily life.

For John, the "God" of Catholicism and the "God" of Christianity are the same. They are both supreme existences in the hearts of his followers, but they just changed their names. Maybe the real two are the same person! It's just that

Interpreters of later generations adopted their own ideas based on their ideas and used them to establish their own religious beliefs.

John wrote at the beginning of both books, "God can be God, the Creator, or the supreme existence in anyone's heart. They exist in an untouchable place, and humans look up to them. Their ideas are human beliefs.

This is the value of their existence.”

Catholic:

On the seventh day, God's work of creation was completed, so he rested on the seventh day and stopped all the work.

God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on this day God stopped all his creative work:

This is the origin of the creation of heaven and earth.

Christianity:

By the seventh day, God had completed his work in creating creation, so he rested from all his work on the seventh day.

God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work of creation.

The origin of the creation of the heavens and the earth was this in the day when Jehovah God created the heavens and the earth.

There are many similar sentences in the Bible. John wrote his feelings and thoughts in the blank space of each page, which accumulated a lot, which also made Su Hang and Corporal Lin very busy!

During the copying process, Su Hang had to say that John was indeed very talented. He combined his understanding of religion with his feelings about the Bible and wrote some interesting annotations in the blank spaces of the book.

"Corporal, these are two cups of coffee with sugar." A tall police officer walked in from outside the house, holding a tray with two cups of steaming coffee, and placed them in front of Su and Hang.

"Thank you!" Corporal Linn said after looking at the tall police officer.

"You're welcome, you guys need to work first." He said and left the study with the tray.

"He has a great future!" Su Hang was just about to drink it when someone brought him coffee to drink.

"There are many such people in this era, and often one thing inadvertently helps themselves and makes the future extraordinary."

Corporal Lin En did not drink coffee but looked at Suhang and said.

"Are you talking about the person who left without saying goodbye?"

"What do you think!" Corporal Linn smiled and lowered his head to copy the remaining content.

The transcription and annotation were boring and tedious. The two of them chatted from time to time, which made Corporal Lin more interested in his experience. Time passed very quickly, and an hour passed before he knew it.

Suhang and Corporal Linn sometimes drank some coffee and continued transcribing, and sometimes chatted about the characteristics of London. The main topic of the characteristics was the changeable weather.

Even though there are many annotations in the Bible, they were still solved by the joint efforts of Su and Hang.

Corporal Linn picked up the Bible and checked it again to see if it was correct. Then he put the book in a plastic bag and said, "We have searched the entire store and found no new clues!"

"Then let's go back to the hotel first!" Suhang stood up and said.

"Okay." Corporal Linn picked up the original Bible and notepad on the table and walked downstairs.

Su Hang also picked up the plastic bag containing the newly marked Bible and followed it downstairs.

Corporal Linn and Su Hang walked to the door of the store and saw two police officers sitting and chatting. Corporal Linn handed the Bible and notes they found to the police officers and asked them to pass them to Inspector Upton.

After Corporal Lin En explained the matter to the police, he and Su Hang sat in the car arranged by Inspector Upton before leaving and drove towards the hotel. On the way, Su Hang planned to visit the injured Ya Heng after dinner.

Next, the two of them were discussing the text password on the way back to the hotel, and before they knew it, the car drove to the entrance of the hotel. Su and Hang got out of the car, and happened to see Osmond who had just returned.

"Osmond, are you finished with the Second Lieutenant's affairs?"

"Yes, Corporal."

"The Police Department is in charge. I'm just here to assist them. It will be over soon." Osmond spotted them as soon as they got off the car in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and walked towards them and said.

"Corporal and I have already discussed that we will go see Yaheng together after dinner." Corporal Suhang and Lin En walked towards the hotel door with Osmond as they talked.

Entering the hotel, Su and Hangzhou separated one after another and returned to their respective rooms, agreeing to meet at the restaurant in half an hour.

Before going back to his room, Su Hang went to the restaurant and ordered a cup of strong coffee to be delivered to his room. After returning to the room, Su Hang put the Bible on the bedside table in the bedroom, and lay down on the bed, thinking about today.

everything that happened.

Ever since Su Hang saw the ruby ​​necklace worn by Mrs. Beverly in the photo on the second floor of John's store, he has always remembered it. The impression of the scarlet ruby ​​is really unforgettable. It feels like a vortex attracting him all the time, even if

It's just a photo. But I feel very strongly that this attack is related to the gem necklace.

According to the case report Suhang saw during lunch, several pieces of high-value fine silverware displayed on the counter on the first floor were also missing. No other items were missing, and the missing silverware and tableware were placed where

On the other hand, the murderer seemed to know what he was going to take and didn't touch any other items.

Combined with the attack on John, the messy scene in the bedroom and the contents of the case report, it can be basically confirmed that the murderer and John knew each other.

Su Hang's mind quickly flashed through every scene after entering John's store in order to compare it with the contents of the case report.

A "dong dong" knock on the door interrupted Su Hang who was thinking about the case.

"What's the matter?" Su Hang stood up, walked into the living room, opened the door and asked.

"Sir, I'm here to bring you the coffee you ordered." A male waiter in white clothes outside the door said pushing a dining cart.

"Come in!" Su Hang sat on the sofa, leaning on the backrest and thinking about what he had just interrupted.

The waiter parked the dining car at the door without pushing it in. He walked in with a tray of coffee and put it on the coffee table. Seeing Suhang leaning on the sofa as if thinking about something, he ignored him and walked out quietly.

Closed the door.

Su Hang sat on the sofa and continued to think about the contents of the case report. The police found nothing when questioning the surrounding neighbors, but a beggar under the street lamp across the street provided the police with new clues.

This is a beggar in his forties with a disabled left leg. He often comes to this area. The church and kind-hearted people like John will help him. He has been in this area for the past two days because there is a clothing store.

When moving, there will be unnecessary items, but if they are still usable, he will pick them up and use them.

During this period, the beggar repeatedly spotted a carriage appearing at the door of John's store in the early morning. Each time it stayed for a short time, the groom was wearing a cloak and looking around on the carriage. His two horses

One of the horses seemed to be in poor health and often excreted horse excrement. This was also the reason why sometimes the beggar did not meet him, but still knew that he had been there.

This was combined with the information provided by the staff at Clayderman's Restaurant. Suhang found a piece of blank paper and wrote down the clues he thought of on the paper.

Cloaked grooms, problem horses, early morning, beggars and restaurant workers.

The beggar also told another piece of news to the inquiring police officer. A shop selling top hats to the left of John's store closed some time ago. It seems that the family went abroad. There was a batch of top hats on discount in those days, which made many people usually buy them.

People who don't usually wear hats came to buy hats, and everyone on the street knew about it.

The key point is that a few days after the store closed, a man wearing church clothes came in and out of the hat shop many times during lunch and dinner. The beggars found this church member coming in and out of the shop many times. He was curious about this incident.

He told the searching police officer.

This seems very strange to Suhang. During meal time, people only care about filling their stomachs. Who cares what others are doing? This is a good time to distract attention. As for restaurants, they don’t even care. Today

Lunch time proved this.

Su Hang remembered that in the case report, there was an inquiry record as follows:

The police officer asked: "After the man wearing church clothes entered the hat shop, did he make any strange noises inside?"

Beggar: "No, after the man entered, the lights on the second floor turned on not long after, but it was very quiet inside, there were no strange sounds, and no strange things happened."

The police officer asked: "Have you seen that man? How tall is he and what does he look like?"

Beggar: "It's a bit far away and there are other pedestrians walking on the street, which blocks the view. I can't see clearly what he looks like, but he should be about 1.75 meters tall."

Beggar: "By the way, he also wears a black hat."

The police officer asked: "What style?"

Beggar: "Black top hat."

The police officer asked, "How do you determine the height of a person on a busy street?"

Beggar: "The height of the door of John's store is two meters. This is what John said when I happened to see the store changing its door once when I came here."

"This door is over 1.8 meters tall, and sometimes there is a door sign saying 'Closed for Business', and the person's height is obviously lower than the door sign."
