Chapter 79: Sweatshirt and Pipi (two in one)

"Tristena, is there any situation with Eisen?" Jobtran asked Tristena.

"No, the sentry reported that everything is normal, except that he hasn't come out since he entered the female baroness's house." Tristana reported.

"Okay, I get it. Come and take a look at this. The shoe prints here." Jobtran beckoned Tristana to come forward.

"I understand. Let's do a toner comparison right away." Tristene remembered that he had recorded shoe prints for Yudkao before, and this kind of mark is often the clue that criminals are most likely to forget.

The development of human feet can be divided into three stages. The first stage is infancy. Initially, the arch of the foot has not yet developed. Most of the bones are just unossified cartilage, and the rest of the foot structure is fat and some tendons. The second stage is the developmental stage, which grows at an average rate of about one centimeter per year. It is also an important stage for forming stable joints and having a foothold. The third stage is the fixed stage. Since the bones of the foot have stopped growing after puberty, it is the muscle structure that will change the shape of the foot more, which belongs to the mature stage.

Therefore, no matter how a person disguises himself, as long as he is an adult, his footprints will basically not change much; unless he deliberately changes into shoes of a larger size, but this will hurt his feet and be uncomfortable, so this is also a blind spot in the thinking of many criminals.

Jobtran put on rubber gloves and rummaged through the things left behind by Yudkao in the room, and took out a piece of underwear: a sweat-smelling undershirt.

Yudekao did not live in this small hotel for long. Because it was a hot summer, the high temperature brought by the scorching sun caused the sweat on Yudekao's vest to evaporate, but left a disgusting sour smell.

If he were at home, Yudkao would take off his clothes and give them to Sarita to wash. However, this habit of throwing them away made Yudkao carelessly forget to wash his clothes every day.

Although the inn provided laundry services, it was charged an additional fee of fifty pfennigs per barrel, so the clothes piled up here by Youdekao became another flaw.

Yudekao moved too hastily and made such a low-level mistake.

Although the Blind Eye's invisibility spell can hide Yudkao's figure, it cannot hide Yudkao's existence. Yudkao already knew this during the first test.

If Youdekao could remember, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

"Tristenay, bring Pippi over here." Jobtran said to Tristenay.

"Okay, I'll be back soon." Tristana responded, then immediately went downstairs and rode away.

Pippi is a trained German Shepherd Dog, also known as a wolfdog. Although German Shepherd Dogs are commonly used as shepherd dogs, their agile movements and agile intelligence have aroused the government's interest in breeding German Shepherd Dogs.

It is worth mentioning that the German Shepherd is very smart and ranks third in the dog IQ ranking.

After training, the German Shepherd can quickly understand the orders issued by the owner and execute them efficiently.

The German Shepherd Dog is suitable for a variety of working environments, such as chasing criminals and close combat, which are the German Shepherd Dog's specialties.

Because the German Blackback is tall and mighty, has excellent working ability, and has a popular appearance, it is officially adopted as a military dog to accompany the army. It is also the mascot and good partner of every security team.

In addition to being a military dog, the German Shepherd is also active in the world as a search and rescue dog, a blind dog, a drug detection dog, and a domestic pet dog.

"Youdekao, Youdekao, it seems that there is nowhere for you, a treacherous and cunning villain, to escape." Jobtran thought confidently.

After a while, Tristana brought Pippi into the room.

Pippi, who is already six years old, behaved very calmly when he entered the room. After all, six years old for a dog is equivalent to 42 years old for a human.

Pippi, who had seen a lot of storms, naturally had no interest in such an ordinary room, but the smell of medicine lingering in the room still stimulated Pippi's sense of smell.

Pippi's shiny black nose moved, and her sense of smell, which was about 1,200 times stronger than that of humans, was working.

Humans have only five million olfactory cells, which are only found in a small part of the upper nasal cavity; dogs have about 125 million to 200 million olfactory cells, while German Shepherds have as many as 220 million olfactory cells.

An almost astronomical number of olfactory cells enables dogs to distinguish more than two million different scents in the air and track the scent to its source.

The mixed smell in the room was not irritating to humans, but it was a bit unbearable for Pippi. He shook his head and sneezed.

Tristana loosened the rope around Pippi's neck and let it move freely to get used to the smell in the room.

"Pipi, come here." Jobtran first put down the sour-smelling sweatshirt, clapped his hands, then bent down and waved to Pipi.

Pippi heard Jobtran's voice and turned to look.

"Oh, that person smells familiar."

Then Pippi moved his four legs and came to Jobutran in an orderly manner, and rubbed Jobutran's trouser leg to show affection.

Jobtran half-knelt on the ground, and then used his hands to vigorously touch the shiny hair on Pippi's back several times. This was Pippi's favorite massage technique.

Pippi closed his eyes in comfort, but soon returned to work.

Jobtran placed the sweatshirt that belonged to Yudekao and placed it in front of Pippi.

"Old buddy, it's up to you this time. Help us find him."

Although the sweat shirt had a nauseating stench, Pippi was able to tolerate the smell after professional training.

Pippi put her nose close to the sweatshirt and distinguished Yudekao's body odor from the various strange smells.

"Woof!"

It raised its head and barked softly at Jobtran, which meant that it had memorized the smell of Yudekao and was ready to set off at any time.

Jobtran stroked Pippi's soft and furry ears twice, and patted Pippi's back gently with his palm.

"PiPi is awesome! Xiao Cui, go tell them to get ready to go."

"Got it! What about the secret sentry on the street?" Tristana asked.

"Keep watching. It may not be very useful, but Yudkao may come back to get something. Let's send two secret guards to hide in the next room to monitor. It won't be a big problem."

Joe Butran responded quickly, "Let's go and track him down."

——

Freya's Mansion

Under the combined effects of drugs and psychology, Eisen lost the ability to move his lower body, which also meant that half of Eisen's life was ruined.

Although Freya comforted Eisen with kind words, Eisen's decadence and depression did not improve much.

It must be difficult for anyone to accept that he or she becomes disabled overnight.

Seeing that Eisen was so depressed, Freya could only talk about some random topics, such as recent upper-class anecdotes and current news.

But people's patience always has a limit. Seeing that Eisen was so unhappy, Freya didn't want to bother him anymore. After all, she was just an outsider.

"Forget it. If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. I've already arranged for someone to get you a wheelchair. If you don't want to stay here, I'll find someone to take you back after the wheelchair arrives."

Freya said disappointedly.

"The Eisen in front of me has lost his confidence and charm. He just looks like a coward. Such a person is not worthy of my help anymore."

This is what Freya thought.

"Freya, can you do me a favor?" Eisen said hoarsely with his back to Freya.

"Go ahead. I'll help you if I can." Freya said with a sigh.

"Take me to church. Umleminster. Will you?"

After a moment of silence, Freya walked out the door without asking Eisen why he was going. Perhaps this was her last respect for Eisen.

"Put Mr. Eisen in his wheelchair and take him to Umleminster Abbey."

Freya said to the housekeeper.

About half an hour later, a simply decorated carriage stopped outside Umleminster Abbey.

The butler struggled to help the heavy Eisen down from the carriage and placed him on a wheelchair.

Aisen said thank you softly, then looked at the housekeeper in Freya's house and said,

"Thank Freya for me. I... am sorry to her."

The butler bowed and responded,

"I understand, Mr. Eisen. I will definitely convey your words to the young lady. Is there anything I can do for you next?"

"Then please, Mr. Butler, push me into the church." said Eisen, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"As you wish, Mr. Eisen." The butler pushed the wheelchair slowly so that Eisen would not feel uncomfortable due to the bumps caused by the uneven ground.

The doors of the church are open, symbolizing the welcome to the Lamb of Holy Light.

There are currently no believers praying in the church. Only the crucifixion of Geduk hanging in the middle of the church shows His mercy to the world.

"That's all. Thank you, Mr. Butler. Now go back. Miss Freya still needs your service." Eisen turned his head and said to the butler behind him.

The butler nodded when he heard this and rode away from the church alone in his carriage.

"Hello, is there a priest or pastor here?"

Eisen pushes the wheels on both sides of the wheelchair himself. He currently has to get used to this way of moving.

"Are you there? Are you...?"

There were echoes coming from the empty church, making it no longer silent, but also a bit creepy.

"That shouldn't be the case. There should be a priest resident in the church."

Thinking of this, Eisen pushed his wheelchair slowly forward.

The reason why Aisen came to the church was that he hoped to get guidance for the next step under the comfort of the priest.

He had already abandoned his atheist ideas, and the priest's words were like a seed that took root and sprouted when Eisen faced his fear alone.

People are always absurd. When they are helpless, they always hope to get help from others. After listening to the confession, Eisen began to look forward to the holy light.

He did not expect the holy light to enable him to stand up again, but he hoped that he would not be lost anymore.

Although a series of tragedies happened to Eisen in an exaggerated form, Eisen was now convinced that the guidance of the Holy Light could help him out of trouble.

The wheels of the wheelchair turned slowly, but Eisen was still not used to this way of moving forward, and a corner of the wheelchair got stuck.

The corner was stuck on the leg of a church bench. It could have been moved out by simply turning it back slightly, but Eisen pulled the wheel too hard.

The entire backrest of the wheelchair flipped backwards and threw Eisen out of the wheelchair.

Eisen's hand grabbed the back of the church bench at the moment his wheelchair lost control, avoiding a fall.

His feet were kneeling on the ground in a sitting position, with his chest resting against the back of the bench in front of him.

The wheelchair made a clanging sound as it fell sideways to the ground.

A voice came from the inner hall behind the main hall.

"who?"

A man who looked to be in his twenties, wearing an ill-fitting clerical robe, walked out.

"Here, here, hello, pastor, I may need your help." Eisen didn't see the man's face clearly.

The lights in the church were dim, and the sunlight did not illuminate every corner of the church at this time.

The face of the man in the priest's robe was always shrouded in shadow, and his clothes could only be seen from his chest to his lower body where the sun shone.

After hearing the voice, the man looked towards Eisen's position. He quietly watched Eisen holding on to the back of the chair in front of him and the wheelchair leaning on the side.

After thinking for a while, he burst into unbridled laughter, "Hahahahahaha!"

Eisen was very confused about the behavior of the man in priest attire. Shouldn't he come forward to help the helpless him

"Mr. Pastor, aren't you going to come up and help me?" Eisen said, suppressing his anger and looking at the pastor who was always hiding in the shadows.

"Pastor? Take a good look at who I am!" The man walked forward slowly step by step with a strong momentum and a sense of oppression.

Aisen could feel a sharp murderous aura passing through his skin. His hairs stood up unconsciously and cold sweat broke out on his back the moment he sensed the murderous aura.

"Who are you? Where is the pastor in this church? Where is the priest?!" Eisen suppressed the panic in his heart and pretended to be very brave as he asked the man who was walking towards him step by step.

"Old acquaintance, old acquaintance, have you forgotten me so quickly? You even took the initiative to say hello to me, Mr. Eisen." The man teased Eisen in a joking tone.

"The man in front of me must have bad intentions. It seems that I have offended him. But this is a church after all. I don't believe he can do anything to me. The most he can do is humiliate me."

This thought flashed through Eisen's mind, and he became more determined and no longer had any fear.

A familiar but young face appeared in front of Eisen. There was a lot of blood on his face, but from the outline, the young man in front of him was indeed very similar to someone he knew. The name was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it.

The man in front of him was laughing wildly, his face twisted, and he looked very proud. He laughed and said,

"Can't remember?"

Eisen frowned. He really couldn't remember who the person in front of him was. From his memory, no man of this age looked like this.

"Oh, by the way, it's normal that you can't remember me in my current state, but you have to know that I'm thinking about you all the time, Eisen."

The man in front of him spread the fingers of both hands, held his face and said excitedly.

"Does the medicine I prescribed for you taste good? Are your dreams pleasant? Is that thing you're so proud of still usable?"

The man was talking to himself.

"Eisen, it's time to end this farce."

The man dressed as a priest uttered words that shocked Eisen. It turned out that everything he had experienced was related to the young man in front of him.

"You! You devil! Who are you? Why did you hurt me? What did I do to make you hate me so much? Tell me! Tell me!"

Eisen couldn't accept this reality for a moment, so he shouted hysterically.

"You took my wife, isn't that enough?" the man replied softly.

"People have to take responsibility for what they have done, and if God and the Holy Light do not punish you, and the law cannot punish you, then I will punish you myself."

The church fell into silence, and Eisen realized that he would eventually have to pay the price for his debauchery.

"I am Yudkau."
