Chapter 210: Kneeling on the steps(2/2)
When the time comes, he will die due to failure.
Eden lost his confidant, was dismissed from his post due to failure in handling the case, and became an ordinary person.
What will the rest of his life be like?
It is destined to be swallowed up by the torrent of the times and disappear without a trace, as if it does not exist.
Paul also realized something after Lynn's guidance: "...I understand, thank you."
"If you want him to live well, support him."
"Well, do you want to come with me?" Paul asked.
"No, I still have some things to do. I hope one of us can find the murderer before dawn." Linn said goodbye to Paul and returned to the confession room again.
He had never entered a confessional before; after all, he did not believe in any sect.
He went back and forth no less than three or four times that night, which made him quite touched. The place usually used for confession and confession turned out to be one of his inquiry points in solving the case.
"Father Fitch, are you still there?" Linn asked as he sat in.
The wooden board between the two compartments is not sealed, there are some gaps in it.
But it was early in the morning, and there was no light coming in, so he couldn't see Father Fitch's condition through the gap.
"I am here."
Father Fitch responded a few seconds after Lynn asked.
"I have to disturb you one more time." Linn bowed his head humbly and saluted Father Fitch regardless of whether he could see it or not. "Is there any other priest in the church?"
"What's wrong?"
Rushing to tell Father Fitch about his suspicions might cause him to be dissatisfied. Linn deliberately concealed his true intention: "I want to find a few more priests to ask about evil sects. Some of them you don't want to do."
I know, but they might not hear about it."
"I am the only priest in the church," Father Fitch said.
Only Father Fitch?
Linn was disappointed.
Did you infer that you were wrong again?
Why is this mission always hitting the wall? If it continues like this, it would be reasonable for the difficulty to be rated at level four.
"You haven't made any progress yet?" Father Fitch asked. "Logically speaking, if there is an evil sect on Crean Street, I won't be unaware of it. So, you may be on the wrong track."
"You are right, this road is probably a dead end. We finally made some progress before, and found out a person who was suspected of being an evil sect, but in the end we found out that they were just a bunch of liars, and the progress was back to the original point." Lin
En sighed, "Then let me ask you a different question. Do you know of any other churches nearby that are often attended by residents of Clint Street?"
"I don't know. People who believe in gods on Kling Street usually come to my place to pray." Father Fitch sounded a little confused, "Do you suspect that the evil sect is somewhere else?"
"It's not necessarily an evil sect. Based on my current investigation, I suspect that the instigator is a person who can easily let the victims reveal their concerns. And the victims have limited conditions. They have no relatives or friends, and no money to find a doctor who can listen.
I'm afraid the only person they passed by was the priest."
A brief silence.
Father Fitch asked: "Are you doubting me?"
"I didn't mean that, and I'm sorry if I offended you." Linn also pointed to Father Fitch to help him solve the case, so he sincerely expressed his apology, "This is just an idea of mine, maybe other churches
priests, or perhaps a group of people with similar professions that I have ignored."
"I don't know. I think I can't help you anymore." Father Fitch seemed to be unhappy.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Linn had no choice but to walk out of the confessional.
What to do now?
There is really no way out.
Lin En was in a daze next to the confession room for a while, and then decided to join Eden and the others.
But just as he was about to leave, he noticed a small sign on the side of the door of the two compartments of the confessional.
One says 'confess' and the other says 'listen'.
What does this mean?
Refers to the different functions of the two compartments?
Linn looked emphatically at the cubicle he had been in and out of several times.
The sign hanging above it says 'Listen'.
Isn’t it the priest’s place to ‘listen’?
Why does Father Fitch always sit in the confessional booth?
Puzzling for a moment, Lin En gently put her hand on the door handle of the 'confession' compartment and carefully opened it bit by bit.
Halfway through pulling it open, he felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning.
I saw that there were no seats at all in the 'confession' compartment, only cold kneeling steps.
