Chapter 789

"Please, excuse me, the outside... Is it from the church, father?"

After a long time, a timid girl's voice came out of the house.

Leng Yue's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. They had been delayed in front of the door for a few minutes. A dagger with a cold light appeared in her hand. She decided to negotiate in another way.

Seeing this, Lu Chen grabbed each other's hand and didn't expose the frightening murder weapon in front of the 12-year-old girl opposite the door.

He made a sign in his eyes, meaning to give it to me.

Then he leaned close to the cat's eye and smiled kindly, "little sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad guys."

"Wow -"

A scream screamed, and the girl in the door ran wildly again. It seemed that she accidentally hit her toe and shouted in pain.

Lu Chen:

Lengyue's mouth turned away and didn't speak, but she still exposed a little meaning of herself.

We should know.

Click——

Lu Chen twisted the door handle and opened the door civilly.

Oh, he will ask the local church to arrange people to change the lock cylinder inside.

Entering the house, all kinds of cheap textiles piled up, and Lu Chen finally saw the whole picture of the owner here.

It was a brown haired girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, about one meter six, thin and weak, with some small freckles on her face and rough facial features. At first glance, she was a girl living in poverty.

At this time, the girl, dressed in ragged cotton clothes, was leaning against the wall at the end of the room, sitting with her bare fruit feet in her arms and only sucking air conditioning in pain.

But when she saw the terrible big brother break in, she was even more frightened and shouted.

Leng Yue saw Lu Chen frown, his figure flickered, came to the girl, half lowered his figure, grabbed the girl's mouth with one hand, and said faintly, "don't cry."

Lu Chen has some doubts about Lengyue's usual customs clearance method in the task world. He just felt embarrassed and was afraid that the girl's cry would attract other people in this area and cause bad misunderstandings.

The girl really stopped struggling and screaming because she saw the younger sister holding a cold dagger in the other hand.

When Leng Yue loosened the girl's mouth, the girl had tears in her eyes. She didn't know whether it was painful or frightened. She said pitifully, "we don't have anything valuable in our family..."

This is to regard Lu Chen and his wife as bandits who robbed the house.

Lu Chen took out a leather certificate from the inner pocket in front of her chest and unfolded it to the girl. "Louise Messer, right? We are the special mission of ChenYong church to deal with your family affairs."

The girl opened her eyes and saw the introduction on Lu Chen's certificate. It was really a priest, but she didn't understand why the church sent God's father to pray for her brother and send him to death?

Morning support church, when did you care so much about our poor?

"Cold moon, put away your things. We are civilized people."

Lu Chen reminded that the myth of Lengyue's handle plus 8 is really too deterrent to an ordinary girl.

He leaned down, pulled Louise up, stroked each other's toes with vitality and healed the girl's bruise.

Louise was surprised to see that her originally red and swollen toes had recovered, and some frostbite had disappeared and turned into white feet.

"Hold the goddess in the morning, a little miracle."

Lu Chen smiled.

However, seeing Lu Chen laughing, Louise shrank back in fear. She always felt that the big brother was going to eat people.

But the miracle just now really shocked her. The other party healed her wound. It was only a moment, which made her a little start to embrace the goddess to her sincere faith.

"Brother and sister... Are you really from the church?"

Louise carefully checked again.

"Yes, we're here to express our condolences and to investigate and find out the cause of your brother Colin Messer's death."

Lu Chen looked at the fear hidden in Louise's eyes and felt a little unhappy. He used to be very popular with children.

In the original world, children in the countryside always liked to revolve around themselves. How did this happen?

"Brother... He... He... I don't believe he will commit suicide."

When it comes to her brother, the sadness in Louise's eyes outweighs her fear. She has only one brother, and now she is the only one left.

"We're here to find out. I'm sorry to cause you bad memories, but can you show us to your brother's room?"

Lu Chen tried to be gentle and wanted to make the girl relax.

The local morning support church has checked once and recorded the information, but Lu Chen and Lengyue think they should come to see the scene.

"Then... Well, you come with me..."

Louise speaks in a low voice, which is a sign of inferiority, not just because she is afraid of Lu Chen and Lengyue.

The house is not big, a total of more than 50 square meters. In addition to the bathroom, there are two small rooms. The Messers have only two people in total.

Louise opened the door on Lu Chen's right. "This is my brother's room. I... i... I dare not look, so I won't go in."

As soon as the door was opened, there was a faint smell of blood. The local church in difia did not deal with the cleaning of the scene, just for the investigation of a higher-level night watchman.

There is no high-risk night watchman in the morning support church here, or there was one, but he died last year.

High risk night watchmen are usually directly ordered by provincial churches, but they do not necessarily live in the province. They travel around the province and receive dispatch at any time.

Lu Chen and Lengyue enter the room. The bedroom is about ten square meters, which is larger than the small room where Lu Chen and Lu Lin originally lived.

The wall is covered with newspapers, which should be to cover the cracks in the wall. A wooden bed, an unstable table and the bloody stool in the middle of the room are all the furniture in this room.

The cold and strange smell filled the room with blood everywhere.

According to the intelligence records, Colin Messer, in his own room, cut several veins of his body with a sharp wooden thorn and dug out his eyes.

The final cause of death, according to the forensic judgment, is suffocation.

He sat on this stool and strangled himself.

Without the help of ropes, tools and mechanisms, those who violate common sense will strangle themselves with both hands.

Lu Chen looked back at Louise squatting in the corner of the wall. She was a first discoverer. It can be imagined how much psychological shadow this kind of thing had brought to a 12-year-old girl.

In particular, the deceased was her brother, who raised her and took care of her brother for many years.

Lu Chen checked at the scene and turned around. He felt that the mysterious breath extended out of the bedroom window, and then it broke.

Sure enough, it won't be so easy, otherwise the local church would have found the note long ago.

"Leng Yue, please investigate again and I'll ask her."

Lu Chen is not good at investigating details and reasoning, but Lengyue, as an assassin, should be professional.

Not really. He can also gather information and let brother Chu, who is far away in the country of steam and machinery, help him.

"Miss Louise, are you all right?"

Lu Chen calls back Louise with empty eyes, and the girl inspires her again.

Louise looked at the half open door, folded her hands around her shoulders and buried her head in her knees. "I... my brother, did you really commit suicide?"

This is what the investigators told her before, but she did not believe it.

I'm looking forward to moving goods to the wharf every day, and I'm full of sunshine.

My brother also said that he would take himself to move into the inner city and send himself to school. He said he would help him find a qualified husband in the future.

Louise remembered that when we talked here, she smiled and said that her brother had to find his wife first.

But my brother just scratched his head and said with a silly smile that he would make more money later.

She still remembers that one day before her brother died, she went out in the morning and ate her own breakfast. She smiled so brightly.

How can such a person commit suicide?

Louise looked at her calloused hands, which were left by sewing all year round. She worked hard. The textiles in the house were her masterpiece. It was supposed to be sent to the place where she was hired in the city for money, but she stayed in the house these days and didn't want to go anywhere.

What do you do for money?

Buy fresh rye bread? Or are you adding a small pot of cream?

It's a delicious match. Maybe the people who taste delicious with her are gone.

She doesn't want money. She just wants her brother back.

But at present, she most wants to know the real cause of her brother's death. She will never believe that her brother will commit suicide, and it is still that kind of death.

"I can tell you the truth, but you have to sign a confidentiality agreement and be prepared."

Lu Chen said in a deep voice.

Louise raised her head from her knees, and a pair of brown eyes faded away. In exchange for a firmness, "I want to know, I don't want my brother to die."

Lu Chen looked at the girl. "You have a good brother. He didn't commit suicide. He killed something else."

Louise's eyes showed a trace of relief. Her brother didn't commit suicide. Despite our hardship, we still have hope.

But the next moment her eyes dimmed again, because the fire of hope had been extinguished.

"You may have seen what killed him."

Lu Chen tries to guide Louise.

Louise wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I remember that my brother came back that night with a dull look and kept holding this note."

"And then?"

Lu Chen nodded. Louise had reported these things to the investigators, but he wanted to listen and see if there was any new statement.

Louise stood up. The 12-year-old girl seemed to have found her goal. Her eyes became firm. Although she was thin, her soul was tough.

"I want to ask my brother what it is and why he bought a notebook that looks very expensive... Because the leather outside the black notebook looks like a very expensive craft."

Louise recalled, "but my brother shook his head and said he found it."

Louise closed her eyes. "I should have stopped my brother... Maybe I grabbed the note and threw it away. Nothing would have happened."

Lu Chen didn't answer. For ordinary people in the abandoned land, they have no resistance to strangeness. Louise can't change the outcome at all.

"I was curious and said to show me, but my brother, who has always been gentle and spoiled me, refused. Not only that, he looked at me very vigilantly, stood up, held the note tightly and said it was his."

Louise recalled the scene at that time. The young man in cotton clothes looked ferocious, spitted while talking, and kept repeating "this is mine!"

"I was frightened by my brother's expression at that time, but I thought that the note recorded a little secret on the wharf, which was something in his work place, and my brother's abnormality was also understood by me as work fatigue."

Louise continued, "my brother calmed down after yelling. He apologized to me that he was tired and wanted to rest earlier, so he went back to his room at 8 p.m.... No, it should be near 9 p.m. I knocked on the door and asked my brother if he was hungry, because he didn't finish his dinner. My brother said he wasn't hungry and was ready to sleep. I didn't doubt..."

At this point, Louise regretted, "if I had been more determined to go in and have a look..."

"Then you are likely to be the second to die."

Lu Chen will not comfort people, but can only explain it with straightforward facts.

"It's that note, it's that note, isn't it?"

Louise stretched out her hand, and her depressed mood was hard to control. She held Lu Chen's collar tightly and wanted to know the answer.

"Miss Louise, calm down."

At this time, Lengyue comes out of the room and pulls Louise away. She is also human. She feels sorry for the girl. At this time, she is afraid that Louise will annoy the terrible big man.

In fact, of course, Lu Chen didn't care too much about these. He just adjusted his clothes, "is there anything else to add?"

Louise calmed down a little, "that's what the person I followed to investigate said. There should be no omission..."

At this point, she paused, as if she remembered something.

Lu Chen and Leng Yue didn't interrupt. About three minutes later, Louise said, "when I knocked on the door to deliver the meal, I seemed to hear my brother's whisper through the door... 'this is mine', 'maybe I should..."

Louise looked miserable. "I didn't hear the words behind. When I knocked on the door, my brother shouted that he was going to rest."

After hearing this, combined with the preliminary investigation information of the church and the characteristics of the death notebook, Lu Chen probably guessed Kling The cause of Messer's death.

The death note is a special secret item with high-risk lethality, which means that even the high-risk night watchman may encounter accidents in the face of its ability.

However, under normal conditions, this note is not aggressive. Its characteristic is that writing a person's name and knowing the other person's appearance can make that person die. The way of death is uncertain.
