Chapter 186 The Church of the Holy Light
Using the subway as the transit location, Arnold took a few turns in Zone 2.
After changing his outfit and dressing up as an elf, he was not without flaws, so he chose to change his route.
Of course, there is more to this, and one reason is that one of his destinations is on that changed route.
Taking a steam locomotive, crossing the River Bridge in District 2, and reaching a station.
In the station, there are substantial energy as electricity everywhere, which is manifested as cylindrical street lights of gas lamps.
Arnold walked along the dim rails, and the gas lights became more and more distant and lengthened the shadows of various scenery, forming a mysterious scroll of pictures in Arnold's sight.
He stopped and gave way out. On the side of the train tracks, he saw mottled blood.
This is also a certain crime scene.
Although the victim's motive for murder was eventually identified by the police as a vendetta, and the prisoner was caught, and even the prisoner admitted it, Arnold found some suspicion. In the end, his conclusion was that the murderer might have been exploited, or the police had problems and ignored this obvious clue.
Combined with the present, he naturally felt that serial murders were related to the black market.
After staying at the scene for a while, Arnold got on the steam locomotive again and left here.
With the roar of the steam locomotive, Arnold came to his final destination, near the crime scene that was very close to the sewer entrance, and instead sat in a human carriage dragged by the Taurus. Arnold walked through the alley and arrived at the sewer entrance.
When Arnold arrived at his destination, he immediately went straight to the scene of the crime.
Soon, he found the target.
It was a not-so-large sewer entrance, and it could only bend over and enter.
However, unlike the traces of the scene that can last for a long time because no one has arrived near the railway tracks, the traces here have basically disappeared.
and......
Shaking his head, lowering the thoughts that had risen to his heart, Arnold took the lantern into the sewer.
After entering the sewer, Arnold found no clues.
After walking for a long time, I searched carefully for nearly three hours. When the kerosene lamp was almost burned, whether he planned to give up or not, he should be ready to leave the sewer.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard some sound.
Even though he knew that it might not be his own goal, he immediately chased after him.
Pushing the cover of the sewer, Arnold drilled out of the ground.
And at this time, he saw the street scene that he had expected.
"This is?"
Without identification, a name appeared in Arnold's mind—
Church of the Holy Light.
For the Church of the Holy Light, Arnold can only use "too familiar" as the label.
This church, which once served as a church in a certain era in history, covers all professions and races, was so familiar to him.
Has Arnold suspected the Church of the Holy Light?
What kind of logic does a normal person follow when he is suspicious? What kind of distinction does he make?
Probably, impossible, yes, no.
These are the most basic.
How will the criminals do it?
In order to avoid being discovered, I will naturally choose to get as close as possible to "Impossible" or "No".
This is the purpose of all kinds of forgery evidence.
A very simple but also easily overlooked fact.
Detectives, criminal police, police detectives, and the struggles with criminals are all based on this.
Generally speaking, what is the object that people are most likely to think of as "impossible"?
Victims, police, detectives and other characters joining the incident with "fair third party" roles.
These will be ignored subconsciously.
However, for this reason, powerful detectives will doubt such fair third parties and then exclude them through reasons such as motives.
However, if there is a non-directly relevant situation such as identity disguise and it is difficult to have evidence to investigate, it is necessary to continue to maintain suspicion and investigation.
Arnold had long suspected the Church of the Holy Light.
Of course, it is not because the Holy Light Church is a bright and upright image, close to a fair third party, and it is very suitable to think from the perspective of a criminal as a disguised identity.
In the last era, that is, the Dark Age, the Church of Holy Light was washed away because it was exposed by various churches that violated people's values.
The Church of the Holy Light in this era has only a slightly higher status.
Arnold believes that the doubts about the Church of Holy Light are lower than those of the police.
but......
This is him.
What if the Church of the Holy Light is the greatest and most righteous in the eyes of those in the black market?
Thinking of this, Arnold looked at the quaint and gorgeous church building-
The pure white church has a very eye-catching and tall figure that makes people feel small. Outside the spires that look like pillars, these complex symbols of holy light.
At the center is composed of white wings, cross light among the wings, and eye-like symbols located in the center of the brilliance.
However, the symbols that make ordinary people feel sacred, sublime and examined, are more like images such as peeping and surveillance in Arnold's eyes.
When Arnold walked into the church, the lights in the church were still on.
While sarcastically speaking, "The Holy Light with electricity as the energy", Arnold also slowed down.
Although he did not find anyone in the church, he was afraid that.
At this moment, in the church hall, the electric lights that exposed the holy light in the form of oil lamps sprinkled into fan shapes.
And what is covered by fan shape are neatly arranged long chairs.
The contrast between these rows of black chairs and the white "Holy Light" reminds Arnold of the doctrine of the Church of Holy Light.
Holy Light is the truth of all.
The light of truth guides everyone, guides them to escape from ignorance, from the darkness of ignorance, and from the eternal nightmare.
Only those who are trapped in darkness and in filth can realize the perfection of the light of truth.
Worship the Lord, worship the Lord named "Light of Truth".
But Arnold did not believe that the Church of Light could represent any truth.
However, at this moment, Arnold suddenly slowed down.
Because, in his sight, a girl in a pure white robe appeared, and the other party was sitting on a black bench located at the front of the church.
On both sides of the other party, white wax lamps were swaying slightly, making her shadow look extremely strange.
Arnold calmed down and tried to lower the already almost empty footsteps again and get closer.
