Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

"Ha ha……"

Little Enoch sneered, and shook his head again.

"A clergyman like you will not understand, you will never understand our persistence."

After that, he left on his own.

Luo Xia looked at his leaving back, hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head.

For Weier's sake, forget it...

This is the second accident he has experienced.

After leaving the cemetery, Rorschach asked Karanna to go back all the way. When he jumped off the telegraph pole in front of the church, he suddenly heard a scream from the side:

"Yeah! Where did you come from?"

Turning around, Weier was looking at him in surprise with a terrified expression on his face.

"Huh? Why are you here so late?"

Luo Xia used questions to perfunctory Weier's question, and heard her say worriedly:

"I have a little personal matter for you..."

"Oh... Then come to the confession room and talk?"

"I don't want it! Your place is an interrogation room at all!"

Weier said resolutely, then took Rorschach's hand familiarly, and said softly:

"Another classmate of mine has passed away, Jin, a loyal and honest guy... When I was in school, I used to share the cakes her daughter baked with my classmates. It was delicious..."

When Luo Xia heard this, he was taken aback for a while, and then remembered that most of Weier's classmates were not young...

Then I was stunned again, recalling the name 'Jin', it seems that I heard someone mention it not long ago...

"Jin and little Enoch, the guy who had some bad things with you last time is very good, so you should have seen him, last time, he was there, I bailed them out... ..."

Seeing Weier's sad face, Luo Xia persuaded:

"Well... the death of a classmate is indeed a sad thing. After all, the friendship of classmates is often the purest and most simple."

As he said that, he stretched out his free hand and pinched her cheek as a gesture of comfort.

Val went on to say:

"Well...Little Enoch told me a few hours ago that Kim's funeral will be arranged in two days' time, and I will be there, so if you are free, can you..."

Only then did she tell the reason for her visit tonight, that she wanted to ask Luo Xia to accompany her to attend the funeral instead of presiding over the funeral.

But Luo Xia frowned, and asked:

"But, isn't your classmate's funeral today?"

"what?"

Then Rorschach told her about meeting little Enoch at the cemetery, and the unhappiness between the two deepened further.

As a result, Weier's expression changed instantly after hearing this.

Hunting the Saints: Chapter 348 345. He seems to be planning to do something big

"Oops, Enoch lied to me!"

Weier's expression suddenly became a little anxious, and he quickly talked to Luo Xia in detail:

"Just three days ago, when you were still in a daze in the square, he contacted me by telegram, saying that he was going to hold a long-lost class reunion, and he had already invited all the classmates who were still in the city..."

"But my thoughts were all on you at the time, so I rejected his invitation."

"As a result, he contacted me again today and informed me of Jin's death. He also said that he was drunk and accidentally got into a car accident, and then said that Jin's funeral would be held three days later..."

"Why did he do this? Why did he lie to me? Is he resenting me for not going to his party?"

Seeing that she was agitated, Luo Xia quickly reached out and held her shoulders, signaling her to calm down, then led her into the gate, sat down on the bench in the fountain square, and finally said:

"Don't worry, can you tell me about this guy in detail? Although I don't have a good impression of him, you are willing to come forward to help him bail, so he is not such a bad person?"

Weier nodded, and then held the hand that Rorschach took the opportunity to break free just now, and then said:

"That guy, although he has some bad habits of the old aristocrats, he is not a bad person in general. He is very enthusiastic. He often helps other students, and has also sponsored several students who are in financial difficulties, even me... "

"He doesn't ask for anything in return, so his popularity has always been very good. In everyone's eyes, he has always been a warm, generous and righteous person. Of course...if he can get rid of his decadent aristocratic thinking, he will be a better person."

Val gave little Enoch a pretty good evaluation, but Rorschach didn't question it. After all, after being reported by him and sent to the police car, this guy would come down and pay him, which shows that he is quite cultivated.

He went on to ask:

"So, as you said, why did he lie to you? And why did he take the initiative to talk to me in the cemetery after he lied to you? He should know the relationship between you and me, right?"

"Well, after the previous incident, I mentioned you to him in the telegram, and he gave you a very objective evaluation, recognized your professionalism, and understood your report, but he couldn't accept your philosophy. I won't forgive you for ruining his research..."

"So, didn't he expose himself when he talked to me in the cemetery? I didn't notice him at all at the time. He just wanted you to know that he was cheated by him? To express his dissatisfaction with your refusal to attend the party?"

Rorschach continued to speculate, but immediately shook his head, denying his thoughts.

"It shouldn't be like this. It's meaningless to do this. He shouldn't be the kind of guy who would beat around the bush to disgust others. Otherwise, he wouldn't get out of the car and pay me that time."

"Yes, if he is really dissatisfied with me, with his old aristocratic arrogance, he will definitely choose a more direct way, or stop dealing with me, there is no need to go around such a big circle. "

Weier agreed with Rorschach's thoughts, then frowned her slender eyebrows, and muttered in a low voice:

"So... what is he trying to do?"

"If you really care about it, why don't you just ask him?"

Rorschach suggested.

Val then conjured a telegraph from his chest, trying to contact Little Enoch.

But after waiting for a long time, she did not receive a response...

"Something is wrong. With the so-called 'noble etiquette' that this guy insists on, he has to write a letter or send a telegram to express his rejection of any advertisement he receives. He shouldn't ignore my message..."

As Weier spoke, he turned his head again and looked at Rorschach eagerly.

"I want to visit his house, can you accompany me?"

Rorschach replied without hesitation:

"It is the pastor's job to help believers."

So after a whirlwind of motorcycles, Rorschach and Weier came to a rather quaint aristocratic villa.

To be precise, it is quaint and dilapidated, with signs of disrepair and lack of maintenance everywhere.

But the economic situation of the owner here seems to be pretty good?You can see an engineering team busy in and out of repairs, and they don't even stop working at night.

Weier hurriedly pulled Rorschach over to call the door, and soon, a well-dressed butler came in front of the two of them, and greeted them very professionally:

"Good evening, handsome sir and beautiful lady, you are welcome to come and visit, but as you can see, some repair work is going on here, if you need anything, please let me know, and I will pass it on to Madam."

"lady?"

Weier was stunned for a while, and quickly added:

"We are here to visit His Excellency Enoch."

"Oh? That's it. I'm sorry to disappoint the two of you. The previous owner here, Sir Enoch Jr., just sold this property last week, and now it's my wife's collection. .”

"Huh? He sold his ancestral home?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Sir Enoch's financial situation may be temporarily tense, so he sold this historic house to my wife at a high price. mansion."

"This...then do you know where he moved?"

"This... It's a pity that I only have business contacts with Sir Enoch, and I haven't had time to establish a further friendship..."

After some exchanges to no avail, Weier had no choice but to return to the motorcycle with Rorschach, frowning again and said:

"This guy is really crazy. When he was in school, he used to brag about his family's mansion with us, saying that he was proud of it, carrying the glory of the family, and so on, but in the end he would sell him?"

"How short of money is he? What exactly does he want to do? Where should I find him now?"

She asked three questions in a row. Obviously, this matter is not as simple as a small conflict between classmates...

"Can you find other classmates who are familiar with him? For example, those who joined the Witch Hunter with him?"

Rorschach suggested.

"Well... I know that Jin is running a dessert shop, and her daughter takes care of it on a daily basis. Let's go and have a look?"

So the motorcycle galloped all the way again, and soon came to a dessert shop in the lower city.

Although the closing sign was already hung outside the door, Weier still walked over quickly and rang the doorbell.

After waiting for a while, a sad and worried girl came to answer the door.

"Are you...Auntie Val? We seem to have met outside the police station before..."

"It's Sister Weier!"

Weier first corrected the address of the other party, and then took the girl's hand, mentioned the news of her father's death, and said a few words of polite comfort.

Finally, he said tentatively:

"Sorry, I really can't get away today, and I can't attend your father's funeral."

The girl wiped her tears and replied:

"Hmm...it's okay, I know you are a big person, you must be very busy, and the funeral is arranged at an inconvenient time at noon..."

As she spoke, she invited the two of them to sit in the shop, and then busied herself preparing tea and desserts for them.

Taking advantage of her leaving time, Luo Xia whispered to Weier again:

"It seems that the funeral is indeed today, and at an unusual time..."

Although he also encountered some non-mainstream time arrangements when helping people preside over funerals, in general, people in the city are more accustomed to choosing the two times of early morning and dusk, one symbolizing [new life] and the other meaning with 【Sleep】

Customers who choose other time points often have some unique meanings of their own.

But Luo Xia has never met him before, and he would choose the time for eating at twelve o'clock at noon...

On the contrary, I met him once at twelve o'clock in the night, and it happened to be the time when Little Enoch approached him...

Witch Hunter seems to care about this time?

Weier whispered another guess:

"The funeral was held at noon, but you were the little Enoch you met at dusk? Did he stay in the cemetery for so long? Was it simply remembering a friend, or..."

Little Enoch is a researcher of necromancy, and the cemetery happens to be the place where the dead are buried. It is inevitable that people will have other associations...

But Luo Xia rubbed his chin, and frowned slightly:

"There are still a lot of people coming and going in the cemetery. Even at noon and afternoon, could he be so rampant that he dares to engage in crooked ways in broad daylight with people coming and going?"

Before she had time to think about it, the girl came over with a tea tray and continued to chat with the two of them.

Rorschach and Weier didn't directly ask about little Enoch, but only learned some things through various side-stepping.

Kim had divorced his wife a few years ago, so Enoch Jr. helped organize the whole funeral, with the same enthusiasm as he did when he was still in school.

In addition to being busy, he also gave Jin's daughter a large sum of money, a total of five hundred gold coins, enough for her to spend the life of an ordinary person comfortably.

But he obviously sold his ancestral house for money...

And a few days earlier, he hosted a grand class reunion...

If it is not to prove that he is eligible to live in San Gallo, it is that he intends to make a big ticket...

For this reason, he may not only give up his ancestral house, but he may also plan to give up other more precious things...

After the side-talking was almost done, Weier finally asked directly:

"Do you know where Enoch is? I've been to his house before, but he wasn't there..."

The girl also answered truthfully:

"I remember Uncle Enoch mentioned several times at today's funeral that he has a business in the Southland, and he will rush there after the funeral is over."
