Chapter 383 Clues
Ivans chose a team of Cavaliers who had defected to Irving the first time. They were suppressed in the past and were depressed. They finally got Irving’s support. There must be no problem in terms of loyalty, and they are all locals. The working environment is very familiar, and it is not easy to make mistakes when doing things.
There were seven people in the team, and when they arrived, it was almost dawn.
According to their instructions, they found Owen in the church who had opened the door and was checking around. The leading knight stepped forward and saluted: "Your Excellency the Knight Commander."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Owen nodded.Seeing the knight's hesitant expression on his face, he frowned and said, "Jason? If you have something to say, just say it. You know I don't like to go round and round."
The knight named Jason suddenly had a serious look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "This matter may not have anything to do with your matter, I just think I should tell you about it."
"Say!"
Jason organized the language: "There was an accident in the city. A nobleman died in a brothel. It was said that the oiran did it, but later there were rumors that the oiran who killed him was a fake, and the real oiran was beaten. I fainted and stuffed it into the warehouse in the backyard."
Owen's eyes sank: "Who is the great nobleman who died?"
Jason shook his head: "I don't know, the news is tightly sealed, but the information about the murderer is everywhere. I suspect that someone released it on purpose."
"Oiran..." Owen tapped his fingers on the table next to him, vaguely feeling that he seemed to overlook something.
Julian just came out after checking the backyard, saw the two of them standing there, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Owen came back to his senses, saw Jason's surprised expression, and realized that Jason seemed to have never met Julian face to face, so he introduced them: "This is my close friend Julian." After a pause, he added Said: "You should have heard of him."
"Of course." Jason responded very quickly. "Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Julian."
At that time, the knights who happened to catch up with Julian to treat him to dinner all said that Your Excellency the Knight Commander has a very handsome friend who seems to have become a disciple of the principal of Harlan College. He is a legendary powerhouse, such a person Even if he is not a good friend of his immediate boss, he is willing to make friends.
"Hello." Julian greeted with a smile.
"He's Jason, my confidant." Owen's introduction to Jason was quite simple, and Jason didn't have any opinion about it, and he was even secretly delighted that Owen called him his confidant.
Why did he turn to Owen in the first place?It's not that he wanted to hug Owen's golden thigh, and now that his wish has been fulfilled, let alone how happy he is.
"Julian is my closest friend. When I'm not around, he is qualified to take power for me. Any orders from him can be regarded as issued by me." Owen said to Jason very solemnly.
Jason froze for a moment, then quickly recovered and nodded cautiously.In his heart, he was stunned by Julian's position in Owen's heart.
How close friends are this Lord Julian and Lord Owen?His Excellency Owen even said such words as taking power on behalf of others.
You must know that such a promise is not easy to make, which means that no matter what decision Julian makes, the consequences will be borne by Owen.
There is not enough trust between each other, even brothers may not be willing to share such rights.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, you guys go out first, go around the town and find out if this Pastor Adam is perfect among all people."
Jason was able to get into the position of squad leader in the cathedral of the imperial capital, and survived many times of suppression. He was naturally not a stupid person. He understood immediately that his knight commander must be suspicious of Adam. The pastor's personality.
Speaking of which, Kentia is so close to the imperial capital, and he had heard of this Priest Adam before. At that time, he was joking with other members of the team, saying that this Priest Adam was very kind to everyone in the town. Du is a little sorry for himself.He admired such a person, but he absolutely couldn't become such a person.
Now that he heard Owen's doubts, he felt a strange sense of relief. It turned out that he wasn't the only one who felt that this person was perfect and a little fake.
Feeling that he had known the truth a long time ago, Jason went to look for clues contentedly, leaving Julian and Owen standing in place.
"Assume power?" Julian hugged Owen from behind and bit his ear, relying on no one around. "You are too courageous, aren't you afraid that he will report you?"
In theory, Owen's order itself violated the church's regulations. Julian was not a member of the church at all, and he was not qualified to order those paladins.
"It's not a big deal, it's a test for him." Owen said with a chuckle.
Owen only spoke half of what he said, but Julian understood what he meant.
He meant that this matter was not a big deal, and even if it was reported, there would not be any serious punishment.Conversely, this matter involves whether Jason can put Owen's order above the church's order. If Jason showed objection at that time, Owen would not do anything to him, but would only keep him from being close to him. His confidant has become a fairly useful subordinate.
He didn't intend to betray the church, but for an ambitious person like him, most of the time what he had to do was to beat the church's edge, and at that time, it was very important who his subordinates had in mind.
He can allow his subordinates to turn to the church, but he can never tolerate the same with his close confidants, because the former will only use reasonable subordinate-subordinate relationships to 'use' them, while the latter requires his own resources to cultivate.
Jason acquiescing to Owen's order is equivalent to making a choice.He chose to favor Owen over the Church's 'rules'.
For such a result, Owen is actually not surprised at all.From the first time they met, he could see that this Jason was an ambitious person, and he knew what choice was best for him.
He is not afraid that his subordinates have ambitions, but he is afraid that his subordinates are incapable.He has this confidence that he can always occupy the highest position. As long as he doesn't fall, people like Jason will never betray him.
The inspection in the church did not go well. According to Old Chick, Pastor Adam stayed in the church almost every day except for occasional outings.
According to this incident, if there is any secret hidden behind him, then the biggest possibility is to hide it in the church, but Julian and Owen almost searched the church, and found the two small rooms in the backyard thoroughly. Just didn't find anything.
"It's unreasonable." Julian sat on the long chair in the church, lightly tapping the back of the chair with his fingertips, and the knocking sound helped him think.
"Let's go through the clues again." Owen repeated Old Chick's statement, combined with what the coachman said, and quickly found out what they had overlooked.
"Graffiti on the glass!" The two thought of this at the same time.
At that time, they were all attracted by the killing of Adam, but they forgot that the beginning of the matter originated from the graffiti on the glass.
"Unfortunately, the graffiti should have been cleaned up." Just as Julian finished speaking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Although the graffiti has been cleaned up, people who see the graffiti must still remember it!
He hurriedly asked Owen to notify the paladins, and when looking for clues, try to collect the pictures of several graffiti.
At noon, the knights completed their task well. They visited almost all the residents in the town and collected all the information they could.
Because people saw the graffiti for several days in a row, combined with their memories, a knight who was very good at drawing quickly sorted out the pattern.
According to the townspeople, the contents of the graffiti are all the same. At first glance, they are all chaotic lines, but if you distinguish them carefully, you will find that those rough lines constitute a character, which seems to tell a story. .
As for the dead townsman, he was the gravekeeper of the town. He was a lonely old man with no relatives and no reason. See him and run away.
It seems that only Pastor Adam has a good relationship with him, but everyone thinks that it is because Pastor Adam has a gentle personality and likes to take care of people. Otherwise, most people would never tolerate that old man's bad temper.
"The purpose of living in a sparsely populated place is to only make friends with Adam. In this way, Adam has a good reason to go to relatively remote places from time to time." Julian looked at the information and had some outlines in his heart.
He got the graffiti again, and couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.
To be honest, he believes that the knight who drew the picture really tried his best, and it is already amazing to draw to such an extent just based on other people's descriptions, but the problem is... something like this stick figure, as long as it is slightly deformed I can't guess what it is at all, so now Julian can only sigh at Huakong... I really don't understand it!
"Go to the cemetery first?" Owen asked for Julian's opinion.
Julian thought for a while: "Don't worry, I want to go to the confessional again. The gravekeeper died there. I always feel that there is something else that I have overlooked."
"Then you go to the confessional, and I'll go to the cemetery." Owen made a final decision.
Leaving Jason to run errands for Julian, he took the remaining six knights to the cemetery.
Owen mainly inspected the gravekeeper's hut, while the few paladins needed to search the entire cemetery carefully.
The worst among them is also a fourth-level great knight, and their perception is not weak, but it may not feel good to 'see' the corpses in those coffins through perception.Those who have become mummies are fine, the ones that are most afraid of are the ones that are half rotten and covered with maggots.
I really don't want to eat for three days after seeing one.
The paladins walked slowly in the cemetery with sad faces and dejected heads. Each of them was assigned a piece of land, and they had to use their senses to thoroughly search their own piece of land before it was over.
Owen found nothing in the gravekeeper's hut, and this did not exceed his expectations. After all, although the gravekeeper's location is remote, this hut is not hidden at all. If you really want to hide something in it, it will be easy to be found Others found out.
"Your Excellency Owen, I found something!"
Excited cries of paladins came from outside the window, Owen moved his eyes, opened the door and walked towards the crowd.
Owen Diary:
The subordinates are used to order them around, and if they are not allowed to do all kinds of dirty work, do you still want me to do it myself?
I hope Jason is smarter. When Julian is embarrassed to order him, he must take the initiative.
