Wentini watched those fortune tellers busy, and sarcastically said:
"If divination is useful, is it their turn?"
"I caught the Skull Crusher a long time ago, locked him in a small dark room, and interrogated him myself day and night!"
Just as she was talking, one of her subordinates trotted over, greeted the two of them, and explained the situation.
It turned out that Captain Martin insisted on intervening in this matter and brought his men over.
"He's a thief catcher, how can he get involved in our affairs?"
Wentini asked with some displeasure.
The sheriff's job is very complicated, and there is always a clear division of labor on weekdays, and this Captain Martin is in charge of city security, so he really shouldn't be investigating murders.
"This happens to be his jurisdiction, and I heard that he has a close personal relationship with Baron House..."
The subordinate quickly replied.
"What about the clowns?"
Wentini pointed to those fortune tellers and asked.
"Helper hired by Captain Martin, who insists that divination is the most effective means..."
The subordinate said helplessly:
"In order not to interfere with the divination, he didn't let our people investigate the scene, and everyone was idle by the side."
"I also reminded them that divination is useless for Skull Crusher, but Captain Martin insisted on his own ideas..."
Most cases in this world can be solved by divination, but there are always some exceptions.
Like this Skull Crusher...
"Lieutenant, shall we continue?"
The subordinate asked another question.
"Wait a little longer, it's a mess here, and we can't do much."
Wendini said rather annoyed.
Although unhappy, but also helpless.
Martin had a higher rank and seniority than her.
And this kind of thing does not violate any regulations in principle.
She simply found a chair from the side and sat down, then turned to Gallo and asked:
"You're free anyway, are you okay?"
You woman, why did you just open your mouth
Today I still have to clean the church, receive believers, practice magic, and go to the market to sell potatoes...
My life is very fulfilling!
"Actually, today I still..."
As Gallo said, he was about to refuse, but he heard Wendini say to the subordinate:
"Looks like it's going to be busy until noon today..."
"Have someone prepare lunch in advance, bring it over when the time comes, remember to bring an extra copy for Pastor Gallo..."
After finishing speaking, she turned to Gallo and asked:
"What were you trying to say just now?"
"Actually, I'm quite free today."
Gallo quickly changed his words.
Although I am really busy.
But the sheriff's food is really delicious...
He stood aside and recited the scriptures silently, not in a hurry.
Anyway, practicing divine arts is the same everywhere.
They were very patient, but that man, Captain Martin, who was nearly middle-aged and looked potbellied, was very impatient, and was yelling loudly at the fortune-tellers:
"I spent so much money to invite you here, not to watch you perform farce!"
"My best friend's blood is cold, but the murderer is still at large?"
A fortune teller hastily replied humbly:
"I'm sorry, Lord Martin, we really did our best."
"Divination has been seriously disturbed..."
He pointed to the bruise on his finger that was hit by the cane, and continued:
"I suspect that there is a powerful existence behind the murderer protecting him, most likely an evil god!"
"The reason why he asked the baron to pose like this must be some kind of evil ritual..."
"The evil god interfered with our divination and imposed a small punishment."
"If we continue, we may provoke this evil god, then..."
Gallo was very indignant when he heard it. It was a hot day and his hands and feet felt cold.
How dare you say that my goddess is an evil god
Do you also want to confess tonight
My life is given by the goddess!
All of her divine skills are all dependent on the goddess' blessing.
There is no god in this world who is gentler and kinder than a goddess!
And Captain Martin didn't believe such a statement, and continued to growl:
"Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"If this guy is really protected by some evil god behind him, he still needs to hide his head and show his tail like this? Don't dare to see people?"
"It's clear that your standards are too low, and you're looking for excuses!"
"You liars, I'm going to arrest you all!"
The fortuneteller at the side was frightened and trembled, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy, looking even more submissive than Gallo.
After scolding for a while, Captain Martin walked over to Undini angrily, looked greedily at her legs wearing long leather boots and black stockings, and said again:
"Lieutenant Wentini, I hope to catch this murderer as soon as possible, and I hope you can cooperate."
Wentini turned his head slightly, unwilling to look directly at the other party's greasy face, and replied:
"This kind of thing has always been in charge of our nine divisions. It's not up to you, the captain, right?"
"Are there no more thieves in Nancheng District?"
Captain Martin hit a snag, immediately snorted coldly, and said:
"Hmph! At this time, don't make the distinction so clearly."
"This case is not trivial and must be taken seriously!"
"Baron House's nephew is the proud disciple of Master Wenner, and Baron House is his only elder..."
"I hope you can understand the seriousness of the incident."
Wentini smiled slightly, looking gorgeous, and replied:
"Of course I understand the seriousness, and I really want to catch the Skull Crusher as soon as possible."
"But you should have heard of him, this man is very cunning, and his work is extremely secretive..."
"The murder did not have a clear purpose, it is difficult to speculate from the motive... and no property was taken, there was no need to sell the stolen goods, and there were no other clues at all..."
"Such a murderer wants to be caught in a short time, please forgive me for being powerless..."
"If the captain is really interested, you can try it."
Captain Martin was at a loss for words for a while, the fat on his face was twitching non-stop. It took him a long time to suppress the anger in his heart before he said:
"It seems that we can only arrest all the servants and maids in this manor... and those untouchables who usually hate Baron House, and interrogate them severely."
"I don't believe it. None of them know."
"Our prison is very big, and there are enough whips and branding irons. Someone will always let go."
It can be seen that he lost his mind in such a hurry that he even said such words.
Wentini couldn't help being taken aback, and asked:
"Are you crazy?"
"You're a trick!"
"NO, I have not!"
Captain Martin shook his head stubbornly.
"This is the only way right now..."
"I must give his nephew an explanation!"
Having said that, he suddenly noticed a young man who looked like a pastor next to Wentini. He was slightly startled, and asked hastily:
"Who are you?"
Gallo smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically:
"Friend, have you heard of Miya Church?"
