For the rest of the day, Gallo kept reading, gnawed potatoes when he was hungry, and did push-ups to relax when he was tired.
When the sun was setting and the door was about to close, a guest came to the door suddenly.
It's the pretty Wendini.
"Lieutenant Wentini? Why are you here?"
Gallo was a little surprised.
"Aren't you off work yet?"
The corner of Wendini's mouth couldn't help twitching, and said angrily:
"A strange murder happened in the west of the city, and I'll have to work on it for a while..."
"Can't you invite me in and talk?"
Gallo hurriedly led Wentini into the church to sit down, and went to pour her a cup of tea. The tea was given by others when the old bishop went to the countryside to preach. Although it was cheap, it tasted good, and it was rare in the church to serve it. guest stuff.
Wentini took a sip of tea, and began to ramble:
"This case is too weird, there are suspicious points everywhere, we have worked hard all day, and we can't find any useful clues at all..."
"Currently the case is under the direct responsibility of Lieutenant Colonel Jerry, the supervisor of our nine departments. I recommended you to him, but he first invited people from the Supreme God..."
"Because there are too few clues, now we can only roughly speculate that the nephew of the baron and Captain Martin should have been bewitched by some kind of sorcery..."
"It's a pity that we arrived too late. The aftertaste and fluctuations of the scene have already faded, and it is impossible to confirm what kind of sorcery it is."
Gallo played the role of a qualified listener, looking very natural, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and he even picked up a small milk cat passing by, hugged it and stroked it.
"Scary~ so cute!"
Wentini's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly took the little milk cat over, placed it on her chest, and rubbed her face against its soft fur.
And asked curiously:
"Where did you find it?"
"Sent by believers."
Gallo answered truthfully, and then asked:
"Lieutenant Wentini is here to discuss the case with me?"
Wendini shook his head.
"I just want to tell you, please help pay attention to people who use this kind of magic on weekdays..."
"If you find out, don't be brave. This murderer is very dangerous. Come and inform us."
Gallo nodded, and couldn't help being a little curious. You don't need to come here to talk to yourself about this kind of thing, right
Could it be that...
She knew that she had a litter of little milk cats here, so she came here specially to suck cats
On Wentini's side, he asked again:
"Do you think the Skull Crusher did it?"
Gallo thought about it seriously, then shook his head.
Wentini saw that his opinion was recognized, smiled slightly, and said quickly:
"I don't think so either. The two victims committed suicide to a certain extent. It doesn't match the Skull Crusher's effective methods. They don't have that sense of ritual."
"And the murderer's purpose is not as pure as that of the Skull Crusher. He actually stole an expensive black gold puppet!"
"This puppet was originally lent by Master Winner to the baron's nephew. Now the servant died and the puppet was lost. He was furious and put a lot of pressure on us, which made me work so hard..."
"I heard that Master Wenna bought this puppet for 50,000 gold coins. These mages are really rich."
As she spoke, she stretched lazily, stretched her limbs, and fully displayed her legs in long leather boots and black stockings before Gallo's eyes.
Then she noticed that Gallo's expression changed, his eyes widened, and his breathing became short of breath...
"Hmph! You clergymen, are you so dignified during the day that you reveal your true nature at night?"
Wentini said a little shyly and coquettishly, and quickly gathered her legs.
"Sorry, I just thought of something else..."
Gallo defended with some embarrassment.
He really wasn't greedy for Wendini's beauty, he lost his composure just now because he heard the jaw-dropping figure of 50,000 gold coins.
This is equivalent to 5 million silver coins and 500 million copper coins. If they are all bought into potatoes, they can be piled up into a mountain, enough to feed themselves and the old bishop for a lifetime!
But didn't the old bishop say that this puppet is worth a few hundred gold
I see...
Master Wen Na must have lied!
That's what a mage is like, insidious and cunning, and also very face-saving. This person must have deliberately exaggerated the amount in order to show off his wealth in front of others.
Gallo was thinking wildly, but Wentini saw that he was still in a daze, so he quickly put down the kitten and stood up.
"It's almost time to go. I have to go back to work tonight, that is, pass by your side, and chat with you by the way."
"By the way, this is for you..."
She took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to Gallo.
"Don't think too much about it. It's just that I won't be able to find a more suitable candidate for a while, so it's cheaper for you. Don't get me wrong."
"Remember to change into a more beautiful robe before you go."
After all, she didn't let Jia Luo send her off, and left by herself.
Gallo looked at the high-end envelope inlaid with gold thread patterns and exuding a faint fragrance, and opened it suspiciously.
There is actually an invitation letter inside? From a rich man named Donald.
He is a jeweler from out of town. Recently, he plans to expand his business in the City of Innocence. He wants to hire a high-end professional, well-educated, and skilled priest with a high salary to bless the jewels bought by the guests so that their brilliance can be restored. Longer blooms.
And this invitation letter is to invite interested parties to come for an interview.
Gallo was a little puzzled, why did Wentini give this to herself
He hurriedly approached the old bishop to discuss the matter with him.
After reading it, the old bishop thought for a while and said:
"I've heard of this Donald. He is a well-known jewelry family in Harvest City. He is the most respectable person..."
"Rich people like to bless the precious things they have, but it's the first time for him to hire someone to stay in the store to do this..."
"It seems that Lieutenant Wendini has treated you well, and introduced you to a very good opportunity."
Gallo replied very disapprovingly:
"When I first met her, she didn't even have a military rank..."
"Later, relying on the various clues I provided, I captured several dangerous wanted criminals, and also uncovered a group of cults. Then I was promoted all the way to lieutenant, and soon I will be captain, right?"
"So this should be called reciprocating peaches, Li Daitao stiff..."
"Uh..." The old bishop was at a loss for words, paused, and then asked again:
"So are you going to try it?"
Gallo shook his head:
"Divine magic is the favor and gift of the goddess, how can it be used for such a thing?"
The old bishop nodded:
"Well, I think so too..."
But the eyes of both of them fell on the treatment promised on the invitation letter:
Weekly salary: one gold coin
So they said in unison:
"But he paid too much money..."
