New Gods of North America

"We followed the suspect here, but because we didn't know much about the local situation, we mistakenly entered the private land of the Schultz family. But the situation just now was indeed urgent, so we had to take action in time."

When the bodyguards and servants of the manor rushed over with shotguns,

Wayne explained it to them while hiding in the mill, using a small wooden stick to prop up other people's scarves and waving them as small white flags.

Then came the

The butler of the manor, as well as Bill Tench and David Mills.

After we had someone we could talk to directly and the situation was under control,

Wayne then said that the mill was safe and asked them to come over to confirm the situation.

The man in work clothes was shot several times but couldn't hold on for long. He lost blood and fainted before everyone arrived. The spherical area surrounding him was also lifted.

But Inissa stayed at a safe distance, keeping her gun pointed at him.

When David Mills entered the mill,

First, together with the butler, he roughly examined Mr. Schultz, who was injured and seemed to be in a daze.

Then he used a very effective method to make the gentleman begin to regain consciousness - to use Wayne's words, David Mills used two "Holy Light Big Bags" on the opponent.

Then David Mills walked towards the man in work clothes who was suspected to be the murderer.

Seeing that the other person was still breathing, they first performed emergency measures such as stopping bleeding and bandaging him on the spot.

After confirmation by the housekeeper,

The "Mr. Schultz" present at the scene was indeed the "Mr. Schultz" who was the head of their family.

After Mr. Schultz regained consciousness, he seemed to still have some memories of the time after he was "hit", and his intelligence did not seem to be seriously affected.

Therefore, although he clearly knew that the reason Wayne gave was made up, he still expressed his approval and thanked the detective agency, the church and the police for their timely rescue.

With the approval of the land owner and the witness of a third party,

Only at this time could the actions of Wayne and his companions be considered "clean".

So those who needed to call a doctor called a doctor, and those who needed to be tied up were tied up.

After being tapped on the "head" several times by Lina, Peter probably woke up. Now he was lying on Lina's small waist bag, holding his head and curling up his legs like a dead spider.

Except Peter,

Another guy who looked like he had a headache was Bill Tench.

The local sheriff seemed to have a rough idea of ​​the killer's identity, although he wasn't sure yet.

Wayne went over and asked secretly, and Bill Tanqi told Wayne that he seemed to have seen this guy appear in the church wearing a monk's robe. He seemed to be a volunteer in the church or a deacon who had just arrived.

The Schulz family's family doctor arrived quickly and seemed to be living in the manor at the time.

The two injured received professional wound treatment, and David Mills asked Mr. Schultz about his mental condition.

Everyone prepared to escort the murderer back home.

The cut Mr. Schultz had made on his own stomach was about two or three centimeters long and one or two centimeters deep.

Although I failed to cut through the fat layer in his abdomen, a lot of blood still flowed.

He was probably still a little scared at this moment, so he took the initiative to express his willingness to go back to the police station with everyone else to cooperate with the investigation of the case.

So there was one more carriage on the way back.

Carrying Mr. Schultz, his butler and two bodyguards.

…

Because the "fallen man" was arrested, he seemed to be related to the local church.

After returning to the police station, David Mills, in his capacity as the captain of the state special services, formally asked the local police to take over the investigation of this series of cases in accordance with relevant regulations.

So far, this series of cases has resulted in the deaths of three ordinary people, the son of a wealthy businessman, and a lawyer with a promising career, and the injury of a local tycoon.

Bill Tench was eager for someone to take over this hot potato, so he immediately shook hands with David Mills and expressed his willingness to work with him.

Although some specific matters still require the cooperation of local police, once the investigation power of the case is transferred, some things become different.

For example, if a reporter came to ask about the progress of the case, Bill Tench could calmly say, "The investigation authority of the case has been transferred, and I cannot disclose the specific details for the time being," without having to worry about being questioned by citizens about the incompetence of the local police.

In the interrogation room, the man in work clothes was chained to a chair.

A fresh magic circle was drawn on the floor around the chair, with candles, essential oils and other things next to it.

The main symbol in the center of the magic circle is three equidistant small circles on a circle, each with a different mysterious symbol drawn on it, connected to form a sacred triangular emblem representing the Holy Spirit.

Wayne had stepped in before and tried it, and felt a bit like entering the oppressive feeling deep inside a cathedral. He guessed that this might have a similar effect to "forbidding magic".

However, the man in work clothes seemed to be from the "sacred" realm. Wayne was not sure whether such a magic circle would work, so he tried to keep his distance from him.

Specifically, in the interrogation room,

The man in overalls sat at one end of the interrogation table, and David Mills sat at this end.

Wayne and the other three pulled their chairs all the way to the wall in the interrogation room and stopped there. They sat far away, looking like judges in charge of scoring.

David Mills was a little speechless about this, but he didn't dwell on these small details.

The interrogation began soon.

"I heard from Bill that you seem to be from the church?"

David Mills made his opening remarks while his hands glowed slightly. "Your identity has been verified by a police officer who saw you in a local church. I believe there will be a result soon. However, as believers in the Holy Spirit, perhaps we can have a chat first."

David Mills paused for a moment. "What's your name? It can't be John Doe, can it?"

——The name "John Doe" is equivalent to the "Zhang San" that Wayne is familiar with. It is a very classic pseudonym or pseudonym in this world. It can also mean "anonymous" or "masses" or "ordinary people".

In addition to some criminals or those who like to use this name in letters of denunciation, some unidentified corpses in morgues or cemeteries will also be registered with this name to facilitate later searches.

If it is a female, the corresponding name is "Jane Doe", and if it is a baby, there is "Baby Doe". Anyway, except for the slight difference in gender and age, the meaning is basically the same.

Maybe it's because we are both believers in the Holy Spirit.

The man in overalls looked David Mills up and down and said a name, "Roy Stampler."

David Mills spread out several files on the interrogation table.

The cover of the file contains the time of the crime, the name of the victim, and the "code name" of the case.

"Roy, did you commit all these cases?" David Mills asked.

"Yes." The other party nodded.

"Why?"

"Because I can see the sin in them, sir."

As Roy spoke, he looked towards Wayne, "Just like what happened to him. If the sinners do not sincerely repent, the believers should guide them to atone their sins, or conduct a trial."

Wayne: ...

Why is it my business again?

Sir, he slandered me!
