Karen sighed and said, "I already regret answering this call."

"Haha, there is no way. Work is more important. When a woman asks you whether work is more important or her, the answer is always the only one, and that is work."

Karen wanted to refute Neo, but gave up because Neo was just joking about disturbing her "visiting relatives" schedule, and it would hurt her feelings if she refuted him.

After all, Neo lost his lover because of his serious work.

Neo on the other end of the phone also fell silent for a moment.

In life, there are some scars that never heal, and we always touch them accidentally in life.

"Director, are you in the headquarters building now?"

"No, we are in a phone booth next to Kumquat Avenue now. I think it's a little slow for Zhewu Crow to find you, so I want to try to call your funeral service directly."

"It's very remote there..."

"Yes, it belongs to the suburbs. We found a movie theater here. Haha, there are some interesting things in it. I can only say that Vico has a really big time."

"You have already obtained the results of your investigation? So quickly?"

I just told Neo yesterday afternoon about the investigation target, and he found something this morning?

Moreover, it must be something very important, otherwise Neo would not notify him at this time.

"Your manservant, oh, Alfred, I asked him to follow Vico first, but he followed him to the cinema in the early morning. It was that simple, because Vico didn't do anything at all.

What a cover-up, he had no idea that anyone would be following him."

"Is there anything wrong with that movie theater?"

"The movie theater is just a cover. Its real function is a place of sacrifice and transfer. You can go there to 'sell' your spiritual power and soul power, and then they will give you points as reward; of course, you can also go there to make purchases.

, if you need.

It’s a bit like blood donation in real society, oh no, it’s selling blood.”

"Director, how come you are so familiar with this kind of place?"

"Oh, people, sometimes money is inevitably a little tight, you know."

"Haha." Karen was a little helpless, "Where is Vico coming and going? Is he supposed to be making purchases?"

It is impossible for him to "sell blood". After all, although the Naton family has a bad reputation in the bishops' circle of York City, the family foundation is still very solid.

"I now suspect that this place is not a simple black market 'blood factory'. It will have more in-depth services."

“Deepen services?”

"Yes, that's right. Spiritual power is not bad. You can recover after overdraft. As long as the extraction is not too outrageous, the damage to the body is not great. But soul power is a bit like selling life. Normal priests can't get it at all.

There are no methods or opportunities to replenish the soul's strength.

If this kind of business is run purely on a voluntary basis, the market size will be relatively small, so... the way to deepen it is to keep priests in captivity.

Think about it, Vicolai himself is a judge, and his family is powerful. Don't you still have two servants in your funeral society who run errands and look after the house? How could he not have anyone around him?

If it is a pure purchase, just ask someone to buy it back. The spiritual power and soul power can be sealed in bottles made of special materials or empty spiritual stones.

But he went there in person. I think the problem here is a bit big. It's a bit like a premium member customer who went to the store to taste the rare seafood he ordered.

By the way, you have been in contact with him, do you think there is anything unusual about the fluctuations of his spiritual power?"

"Do you suspect that his realm and strength were gained through this method?"

"Either he suffered some kind of injury to his body or soul, which led to early decline, or he has very poor talent and relies on this method to force himself up. He is a civilian-turned adjudicator, and his strength requirements are not high, but

If he can't even meet this modest requirement and still needs to absorb and instill it in this way, then he has a big problem."

"When I met and came into contact with him, my level was a bit low at the time, and I didn't take action at the time, so I didn't know."

"Okay, let's do it together. While investigating the cinema, we will arrange for another person to conduct a tentative assassination of Vico. The purpose is not to kill him, but to obtain his true strength. Some people are

You have realm, but you don't know how to fight, but that's another thing. Let's give it a try first, and let...Muri go ahead. Oh, no, you hit too hard, and your family's fighting style is too obvious.

By the way, Karen, let the Fisher girl go, she's better at this, and you can't tell her identity even with a little disguise."

"Okay, I'll call her over and let you make the arrangements."

"Let your valet arrange it. Although we have only worked together for one night, I already have the urge to fire Fanny and hire your valet to be my secretary."

"As long as he wants to."

"Haha, you are really not afraid of me poaching your corner."

"You dig it."

"That's it for now. Our current location is a hotel next to Kumquat Avenue. What is the name of the hotel?

Okay, it’s called [Whiplash Love].

Oh, damn, I asked you why there were so many strange furnishings in the room just now, I thought they were the torture instruments you brought from home."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

"Before you come, go to the Lemar Ceramics Museum and ask for two temporary masks. I have placed an order from him before."

"Director, have you given me the money?"

"Of course not. Please help me settle the bill. You can get a discount if you go to settle the bill."

"All right."

"Then come here quickly. If Vicolai really did this kind of thing of imprisoning, absorbing and indoctrinating himself, and we have solid evidence, then I can guarantee that he is finished;

Because this kind of behavior already belongs to the obvious cult and lost nature of the "Ordinance of Order", this is an extremely serious and untouchable provision.

If he exploits them more severely and drains the imprisoned people as disposable consumables, haha...then he will only have to go to the execution ground of order."

"I think this is the truth."

"Believe me, Karen, even if Vico comes here just for fun, and goes to that movie theater early in the morning to watch a horror movie, drinks a glass of soda, and eats half a bucket of popcorn, we can still create him and this thing.

The evidentiary relationship involved in the matter.”

"director."

"Um?"

"What I want is the truth."

"Um?"

Neo on the other side of the phone obviously didn't understand why Karen suddenly said this.

"In my case, he has been sentenced to death since he tried to swallow up the credit of Mr. Pavaro."

"I know, and I respect Mr. Pavaro very much, so I very much agree with you taking action against him."

"What I hope is that with more incriminating evidence, I will feel more comfortable when I take action."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. It seems that you encountered something when you went out this time."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Director."

"You're welcome. I'm happy to see you grow. Maybe you are right. I should also change my previous behavior and habits. After all, this is not the past. Try to make yourself look bright and great... Bah, Sunshine is great and upright.

Some.

In this way, when the superiors want to push us out as scapegoats in the future, it will also make it more difficult for them to operate.

Oh, by the way, there is another very important thing, which is related to the writing of the investigation report in our office. We must have a whistleblower or clue provider before we can launch an investigation into a bishop's grandson.

Otherwise, the superiors will think that our office is crazy, and they will target the bishops as soon as it is established and restored. Although... we do do this, I think we should cover it up, otherwise it will be very detrimental to our future work.

carry out.

So, do you have a suitable whistleblower there?"

"have."

"who?"

"Mr. Pavarro."

"He is dead, oh no, 'he' is not dead yet."

"Yes, 'he' is not dead yet, but this time if the criminal evidence provided by Vico is true, Mr. Pavaro, the whistleblower, can die.

We can create evidence that Mr. Pavarro was silenced in retaliation, so that after his death, he can be commemorated and mourned by the church."

Neo's voice came from the other side of the phone:

"But, Karen, you just reminded me not to 'create evidence'."

Karen smiled and said:

“However, Mr. Pavarro was silenced and died for exposing darkness;

I buried him personally, and his name was not engraved on the tombstone.

I,

church,
Chapter completed!
