Chapter 87 The Hanged Man Alger: I have no choice
Alger had already thought it through. He had been busy hunting down and interrogating Qilingos' crew members recently, and the "Devil Angel" incident might have just happened and had not yet reached Pritz Harbor. When he went to Backlund to report on his work, he would definitely be able to check the files...
No, the priestess just said that it spread throughout the three major churches... Why, I don't know... Why didn't you tell me...
Not enough confidentiality? Or...
Alger thought of his origins, the various unfair treatments he had suffered in the church, and his current identity: a captain of a plundering ship. Yes, he had been pretending to be a pirate, and maybe one day he would really become a pirate... It was reasonable for him to be mistrusted.
But, the information involving Qi Lingos... must not be let go! I have no choice at all.
Alger swallowed his saliva and said calmly:
"I will try to collect all the spinal fluid of the evil-marked black panther for you. I will join the transaction, and Mr. Fool will witness it."
The value of Sequence 7 materials was between 500 and 700 pounds, but paying directly in gold pounds would cost 800 pounds. Alger quickly calculated the bill.
After the Fool nodded in agreement, Alger heard the priestess begin to narrate:
“The Devil Angel incident happened yesterday, August 8th.
"The victim, ah, even if he is a victim, is a wealthy man named Kapin who lives in the Cherwood District of Backlund. He aspires to enter the upper class, but has never had the means to do so.
"When Kapin was found at the scene, he was naked and hung upside down on the wall opposite the dining table. Iron nails were used to nail his feet together and nail them above to bear the weight of his entire body."
"Its arms are open, and on its back are finely tailored 'feather wings'. From a distance, it looks like an upside-down angel that wants to embrace the world.
"Its chest and abdomen were cut open by a sharp weapon, its internal organs disappeared, and its 'ribs' were flipped to the sides, forming two small bloody and boney wings.
"Its face still had a peaceful smile on it, as if it was very satisfied with this ending."
Alger didn't want to hear this. What about Qilingos? This method of killing people was not very similar to him... But it was also possible that after he obtained the "Creeping Hunger", he really became more and more...
He keenly noticed that Miss Justice was a little angry and surprised. Ha, was she sympathizing with this rich man? It was totally unnecessary. If it was Qi Lingos who did it, then there must be a connection between them. This rich man might not be clean...
Sun listened very carefully, as if he was thinking about something... and Mr. Fool... leaned forward a little, as if he was interested in this matter? Alger never lacked observation, and after analyzing it, he continued to listen to the old man:
"The above is the first part of the scene. The second part... On the dining table, the body of an unknown Beyonder was used as a dinner plate, holding the missing Kapin's internal organs mentioned earlier. Around the dining table, there were 12 servants sitting, both men and women, all holding knives and forks, and they had lost their lives.
"In the third section, on the side wall, the words 'Aurora will be responsible for this' were painted in Kapin's blood."
"Too much! This is a violation of the kingdom's laws! The poor rich man, the poor servant, actually had to suffer such an unprovoked disaster! The Aurora Society? Or Qilingos? Goddess, the kingdom will definitely catch them!" Justice Audrey couldn't help it, and had already withdrawn from the audience state, and uttered fierce words. Alger held his forehead, the Fool leaned back, pinched his eyebrows with his right hand, the sun didn't understand much, and was still thinking and recalling, the corner of the priestess's mouth curled up a little, sure enough, he said that on purpose before!
The Hanged Man saw that the priestess suddenly seemed to be in high spirits and said:
"However, the Mandated Punishers who arrived found a building in Kapin's mansion that didn't belong there.
“A dungeon, a solid, huge dungeon with a special seal at the entrance.
"In the dungeon, there were iron doors made of fine iron, separating dark, narrow rooms.
"Almost every house has a... young girl imprisoned in it."
Alger's body trembled a little. He suddenly thought of a possibility. Could the priestess... be a high-ranking official of the Church of Storms? The old man's description was too clear, as if... as if he had seen it with his own eyes!
By the way, at the last Tarot meeting, this old man specifically observed my hair and clothes. At that time, I was still wearing the Storm Bishop's uniform...
No, no, I haven't been arrested yet, which means that the priestess is either not a member of the Storm Church, or... he is hiding it for me! This is an opportunity! I just lack an opportunity in my life!
Alger looked at Miss Justice across from him and found that her mouth was wide open, as if her face was full of disbelief. He took over the conversation and said:
"Heh, human kidnapping and human trafficking are very common in overseas colonies. The most popular women in the legal or illegal brothels here are those from Loen, the capital of this powerful country. It's as if, as if, they can conquer this country by conquering these women.
“I think I understand what Mr. Priestess meant when she said that the identity of the rich is problematic.
“This Kapin must have accumulated a lot of wealth through kidnapping, and he will gradually enter the upper class. Maybe in a few years, he can use the money to buy a title and marry a noble woman with a title. Oh, he is dead, that’s great.
"...The 'words' on the wall may not necessarily be what Aurora would do... maybe it's Qilingos in disguise!"
After Alger finished his analysis, he looked to the right, as if to seek the opinion of the priestess, who nodded and said:
"Yes, the Beyonders who came later conducted spiritual communication and divination at the scene and discovered Qilingos' image and the remaining flesh and blood and evil aura of the magical item 'Creeping Hunger'. It was definitely him.
“Well, maybe you don’t have to worry about Mr. Hanged Man’s last commission. The official Beyonders from the three major churches will do it for you.
"If you want to execute him yourself, you have to speed up."
Alger nodded slightly to the right and said:
“Thank you for sharing and reminding me. This is very helpful to me. Even if I learn about it from other channels, it will not be as detailed as your introduction.
"I will collect that extraordinary material for you as soon as possible."
Miss Justice on the other side finally reacted at this time. She quickly restrained all her expressions and said in a low voice:
“Thank you, Mr. Priestess, I will also deposit the money into the last account as soon as possible.
"Also, I want to ask you, has this world always been so... so dark, ironic, and absurd... I'm sorry, I, I apologize for what I said before..."
Thanks to "Youyunfei" for the monthly ticket, thank you for your support!
