The fire at the monastery alerted the local Metropolitan Police Department, and a team of police from the search department followed the firefighters to record the number of people and facilitate search and rescue operations.

When he heard that it was a monastery, Yi Dahang volunteered. He and Natalie had gone to the church a few days ago. A little girl blessed their love and sang hymns standing in the pastor's seat, making Natalie laugh all the way. She was a very cute child, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.

Yesterday Natalie said that she wanted to visit her again next time. They thought that their future children might be as cute as her, but the wish might be difficult to realize. Ida Ko knew that the girl might have a complicated background, and the higher-ups in the Metropolitan Police Department were asking people to keep an eye on the 14-year-old blind girl.

I hope she can return home safely.

Thinking of this, Ida Hang followed the fire convoy to the scene. Most of the people were gathered in the yard outside, and the fire was in the dormitory.

"Is there anyone who hasn't come out yet?"

"Saori! Saori is still inside!" Yoshida Saki seemed to be much calmer at this time. She tried to explain as concisely as possible, "Just now a brother rushed in. He had no protection. The specific room is 310 at the end of the corridor!"

This is outrageous! Without protective measures, the toxic smoke from burning building materials can cause people to fall into a coma or even die within five to ten minutes.

The firefighters quickly sorted out the situation and quickly deployed their equipment for rescue. Ida Ko directed the team members to count the names of the people, but the girl from that day was nowhere to be seen. "The last one is Aoki Riko!"

No.

A feeling of powerlessness quickly crept into his heart. Ida Hang tried his best to calm himself down. It was normal for her to be trapped due to her inability to move. As long as she was rescued in time, she would be fine. He asked, "How long has it been?"

"About half an hour. The brother has been in there for almost ten minutes."

The blonde girl's eyes were full of hope when she said this, but Ida Hang's heart sank to the bottom of the sea. This was far beyond the best rescue time. The fire had already entered its rising phase and was extremely intense. Not to mention the girl, even the young man who had just rushed in could hardly tell what the situation was.

He looked away reluctantly and responded to Yoshida Saki's gaze in silence. However, the latter had not given up yet. She and the nuns comforted the frightened children in an attempt to divert their attention.

Waiting is the most torturous thing, but if it can ensure the safe escape of all of them, Yoshida Saki feels that it doesn't matter how long they wait.

It will be okay, she still has to take Saori to meet Reika, and they are going to eat hotpot together, she was deceiving herself.

Under the siege of water wheels, the fire gradually died down. For a moment, water mist filled the air, accompanied by the crackling sound of wood. Several figures came out of the smoke in a daze, and every step seemed to be on everyone's mind.

Among the crowd of people in fire suits, a figure in black clothes was particularly conspicuous. Inuzuka Yafushi recognized at a glance that it was Scotland who came with him. The man was now covered in dust and his handsome face was unrecognizable. Only his blue eyes were gloomy. He said nothing in the face of everyone's concern.

This gave Yoshida Saki a bad feeling. She managed to keep a calm expression and said, "Didn't you find the room? It's okay. There are firefighters——"

"They've brought her out."

There was no emotion in her tone as Yoshida Saki looked at the bag they carried out in disbelief. She knew that it was a bag that only dead people would go into. How could it be possible?

"Don't be ridiculous, sir."

How is this possible?

Saori will not be put into that place. She should always stay in a sunny place, smiling happily, saying naughty words to make everyone happy. She will not become cold and will always be warm and bright.

"Officer Ida, you may need to register this."

"When we found her, she was so burned that her face couldn't be seen. The room was too close to the center, so she might have died fifteen minutes ago. We may need a forensic doctor to identify her. Are there any parents who claim her?"

"Officer, please come this way."

Inuzuka Yabushi also couldn't accept the news, but he had to face the reality. Not only that, he also had to face the anger from the head of the family.

The air was so sticky that it was suffocating. The dark clouds could no longer hold any more resentment. The patter of rain soon fell on the earth. The flames madly destroyed people's hearts and manipulated their fears. The raging fire was eventually extinguished, leaving behind the wasteland after the disaster. The last bit of warmth was washed away and cleansed by the cold rain, and finally nothing was left.

[No connection target, please try again. ]

[No connection target, please try again. ]

[No connection target, please try again. ]

……

The mechanical female voice in the headset was still repeating itself. He had no idea how much time had passed. It seemed as if he had just entered and it was already like this. The eavesdropping device could not withstand the high temperature and was damaged.

He walked in the rain for a long time, from the dormitory to the church. When he saw the compassionate statue of Jesus and the Virgin Mary with a golden halo under the blue dome again, he seemed to wake up from a dream and turned around to look at the rain curtain under the eaves.

The cold rain soaked his hair, and water droplets dripped along his jawline onto his collar. The soaked clothes stuck tightly to his skin, gradually taking away the temperature of his body. The hot air exhaled from his mouth also quickly dissipated, like a flame that had just raged was suddenly extinguished.

The only thing that was still warm, even hot to Scotland's touch, was the metal pendant that he had been holding in his hand. It was still hot and dry.

How ridiculous! This late rain was like the gods laughing at his incompetence.

Its most devoted believer, the girl as lovely as an angel, will never be able to sing hymns to it again. She is no longer warm, having experienced the cruelest heat, she has lost her temperature forever.

He could hardly control himself, and wanted to question the compassionate God overlooking the church, why did he treat her like this? After taking away her light, he took away her life?

She was just like Zhu Fu Jingguang at that time, unable to do anything but tremble in fear. But the murderer at that time let him go for the sake of his daughter, so he survived in that dark and narrow cabinet.

This time the fire illuminated every corner, and he found the burning Aoi Haemuro in that spacious room.

It turns out that she has never met a kind and merciful God, so why does she still believe in it so much?

In the end, Scotland said nothing. He just stood quietly in the middle of the church, staring at the statue of Jesus in silence.

"You are such a useless fellow."

He said.

The sharp part of the metal pendant was rounded and blunted, leaving deep marks on the palm of the hand after being subjected to force. The dull pain made Scotland sober up a little. He seemed to react and loosened the pendant, checking it again and again, fearing that there was any damage or bend in it.

This made him discover another line of very small words

The Lord will bless you.

fraud.

The cold wind brought rain and splashed mist in the corridor. The church was also cold. Without sunshine, even angels would feel cold.

Da da da--

There was the sound of heels hitting marble, and Scotland turned around, his pupils contracting in stimulation. The figure kept getting closer, with a familiar face and a police uniform on his body.

The police officer stood in front of him for a while before he said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Long time no see, Hiro!"

"My name is Hikaru Midorikawa, Officer."

This made Yi Dahang realize that this guy was probably on some mission, so he quickly changed his address. He didn't know if there would be other people here, so it would be better to be careful.

"You came here with Mr. Inuzuka. Do you know that girl?"

"Her name is Aoi Yeshiro."

"Aoi? It suits her very well."

The sunflower bathed in the sun looks exactly like the girl that day... This sudden disaster must have been even more difficult for her family to accept.

Date Ko lowered his eyes. He knew that Morobushi Kagemitsu was not in a good mood at the moment. In fact, he was the same. Policemen could face their own death calmly, but it was difficult for them to remain indifferent to the death of others. In the words of senior Hino, they became policemen just because they like to meddle in other people's affairs.

"Oh, this is a difficult situation. Natalie even said she wanted to bake some cookies for the child. How should I tell her?"

Hearing this, Scotland raised his head and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Mr. Inuzuka said that this matter should be reported to their master first. He is just a butler?"

Speaking of this, Scotland's brain gradually resumed functioning. Ye Mukui was also his mission, so the organization should have known about it by now. He was no longer in the mood to care about the failure of the mission.

Sure enough, Gin's email arrived soon, but the content was a bit confusing for him.

[The body has been disposed of. As for the news, the Yeshiro family will suppress it and not let others know about Yeshiro Aoi's death.]

Why is this again?

In this case, she couldn't even hold a funeral.

Scotland almost crushed the phone. Who would have known that the girl was gone? She clearly had a brother who loved her, so why didn't she have the right to know?

"What's wrong?"

Noticing his friend's mood changes, Ida Hang was worried that he would delay the mission. They hadn't contacted each other for a long time. This time he appeared here, it must be for the mission. The latter just put away his phone and soon looked indifferent.

"Nothing, take me to see her."
