Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 85 Confusing
Token opened the door and saw Juri, Wilson, and Patrick all standing at the door.

Why were the three of them able to get together? At first, it was Giuly who found Patrick first after the dinner. He was really worried about this old friend now, as the mass ceremony was just in a few days, and he didn't want anything to go wrong because of him.

"Patrick, come here, do you still have the disc in your hand?"

"Here, what's wrong?"

Patrick carefully pulled his Rat Man disc out of the inside pocket of his suit.

"It's good that you're still here. I was worried that you might be mentally unstable, so you gave this thing to your Mr. Bean."

“Then you underestimate me.

Besides, Mr. Dou never asked any questions about the mass ceremony from beginning to end, so it’s better not to use your Wisdom God Church’s evasive mystical tricks on others.”

If anyone else dared to speak to Jiuli like this, he would have taken action on the spot, but as the ceremony was only a few days away, Jiuli did not want to create trouble and just looked at Patrick with a sullen face.

"What about Mr. Bean?"

Jiuli glanced behind Patrick. He had been sitting at the chief seat and did not hear the conversation between Liu Yonglu and Medea.

“I was invited by Miss Medea and Token to discuss drama.

You want Token to confirm Mr. Bean's identity, right? I believe someone will stop you from talking later. You don't have to believe me, but Token's judgment is always fair."

At this time, Patrick had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, but Jiuli had lived in Saint Daoding City for a long time, and he knew what Token's family had been doing in the past few decades. At this moment, he couldn't help but pull out a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You're right, I can't feel at ease until Token confirms it.

Besides, maybe you'll get your Black Stone back later, so remember to thank Token then."

After saying this, Jiuli patted Patrick on the shoulder. Patrick frowned, and he also heard the other party's hidden meaning. At this moment, a young man wearing a khaki woolen coat and a brass gear pendant around his neck walked towards them.

"Father Giuli, there's news coming back from the hotel you've been asking us to keep an eye on..."

After the young man finished speaking, he glanced at Patrick who was standing next to him.

"It doesn't matter. Go ahead. He is still my old friend."

Just as he was about to make Patrick give up, Jiuli motioned for the young man to continue.

"The monk who was in charge of monitoring the hotel just now saw two people leaving the hotel. Through questioning the hotel staff and observing the monks, it was initially determined that they were investigators from the Special Incident Investigation Department. This is the record of the two people's behavior in the past week.

Although I hadn't noticed them before, I found some traces from the records in the restaurant and library.

The names left by the two investigators at the hotel also match the names of the people who went to the church to seek help a few days ago.”

After the young man finished speaking, he handed over a stack of folded documents. Jiuli frowned and took a look. Although there were not many documents and there were signs of deliberate cover-up, it was still possible to tell that these two people had entered Saint Daoding City a week ago. They usually hid in the hotel and only came out at night.

"How is it? The investigators found it, and Mr. Bean and the others are now in the manor. Maybe the preacher on earth is too powerful. The knowledge given by the gods allows him to create an identical projection."

When Patrick saw that Giuly was frustrated, he spoke in a sarcastic and malicious manner.

"You go back first and continue to observe. If there is a suitable opportunity, bring the two investigators back to the church."

Jiuli waved his hand to send his men away, but he still refused to give in and continued:

"Just because we found two investigators doesn't mean that Mr. Dou is fine. Maybe the Investigation Department sent four people over."

After saying this, he probably felt that this statement was far-fetched, and continued to add:

"But now I suspect they are from the Saint's sect. Although one of them doesn't match Font's description, Font had just come out of the Dreamland at the time, so there's no guarantee that his mental state is fine."

Jiuli lit a cigar with resentment and wanted to pass it to Patrick, but when he saw Patrick's gloating face, he put the cigar back into the box. "Why put it away? I feel that your Wisdom Church cigars are pretty good, but they have a bit of engine oil smell."

The person who spoke was not Patrick, but an old man in formal attire who had been standing behind them. He was older than Patrick, perhaps in his sixties or seventies, but he was very elegantly dressed, wearing a black vertical-striped suit with a stylish cut and a slanted-shoulder cape. The silver buttons on the suit and cape were engraved with the logo of a goat.

He looked at Juri and Patrick in front of him with a sharpness that was disproportionate to his age, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"Well, who do I think it is, old Wilson? You didn't get to choose the dishes at the dinner, and then you use that as an excuse to run back to your antiques, okay? That's really not easy."

In fact, Jiuli had guessed the identity of the goat when he was in the cabin in the woods. Now that everyone has pointed it out, he naturally has to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Excuse me for the intrusion, I just heard a few words from your conversation... Regarding that Mr. Bean, I think you all overlooked a question, who are the people around him?"

This question really stumped Patrick and Jiuli. For a long time, their focus has been on Liu Yonglu, and they have forgotten about Millie Tang, who has a very low presence.

"When digging for gemstones, you can't always go for the brightest side. Maybe it's just a thin layer of skin, and the real valuable diamond is buried in the soil next to it."

Wilson shook the red wine in the glass, smelled it, and frowned.

"The Mass will be held in a few days. I won't keep you in suspense. The short man next to Mr. Bean is a professor at Miskatonic University."

Unlike Juri's vague speculation, Wilson's words were very firm and there was an irrefutable power in them.

"I have another piece of news for you. The short professor was just wandering around deep inside the Heap family manor. You can guess what's hidden there without me telling you."

The reason why Wilson did not directly announce the old butler's death was because he also used some tricks when passing through those sculptures. Strictly speaking, he was also an intruder. If he directly reported the death, then he had trespassed into the important place of the Ship family and did not help the dying, which would also be two big troubles.

It's better to be vague. It won't have much of an impact anyway, and Token will react more strongly when he sees the body.

"Patrick, there's no need for Token to confirm. Two to one, we'll get the Black Stone back for you today."

After saying this, Jiuli walked towards the rehearsal room.

"Wilson, I now suspect that those two people are from the Saint's Sect. What do you think?"

"The largest church of the Saints in Mosesad is not far from the University of Michigan. There have been precedents of nuns from the Saints going to the University of Michigan to preach the gospel. I partially agree with your opinion."

"Oh? So you have other theories?"

"There is not enough evidence to support this at the moment, but investigators, occultists with bad intentions, these possibilities cannot be ruled out."

The three people were walking and chatting through the corridor, when suddenly the lights above their heads flashed twice, and a waiter in a white shirt and dark red vest passed by them.

The man was tall and thin, nearly two meters tall. After turning a corner, he turned back and looked at the backs of the three people.

"Yes... kind of interesting. Without trouble there is no fun, and without fun there is no chaos. Let me see how long you can survive."
