Ep30 frozen angel

They chose to sneak into the church at midnight.

The buildings in the night became more and more indifferent, as if lost in the sun and sink into another world. Leo and Li Biqing stood in the courtyard below the bell tower, trying to use the length of the tape and Renee's walking speed to guess where the door to her secret door that she had inadvertently opened was.

After searching for about half an hour, they finally pointed the suspicion deep into the corridor, a door with a pattern very similar to that of the wall. The door looks old and has no handles, but it is locked and the keyhole is old-fashioned bulb-shaped. Leo pushed hard, and the door locks remained motionless, like a stubborn old stubborn.

"Did you bring a silencer?" Li Biqing whispered.

The federal agent nodded, "Here, but the door is very strong, and it may take several shots, I'm afraid it will alarm other people. And if we can't find anything in it, we will fight grass and snake."

"What then? Go find someone to have a master key?"

"No need to bother." Leo said, "Let's go find the real thing-I think it can be found in Father Bai Yisi's room. After all, he is the person in charge of this church. It's hard to hide anything from him. ,What do you think?"

Li Biqing sneered, "You just don't believe he is a saint, right."

"There is no pure light in the world, including the human heart." The dark-haired agent Shen said, and walked in the direction of the priest's bedroom, which had already been identified.

-He is still blaming himself. The psychological shadow of many years cannot be disintegrated overnight. The Chinese boy sighed silently and followed him silently.

As they quietly touched the room, Father Bai Yisi was sleeping on a hard wooden bed. And this bedroom, no more than 50 square meters, has nothing but the necessary furniture such as beds, wardrobes, desks, and it is incredibly rude.

Li Biqing didn't know how well the other party slept, and he didn't dare to move around without permission. Leo was prepared to pull out a plastic bag from his pocket, unpack it, and pull out a white handkerchief to cover the priest's mouth. nose.

About 30 seconds later, he let go of his hand, carefully packed the wet handkerchief back into the bag, sealed it, and turned to Li Biqing, saying, "Isoflurane, an anesthetic before surgery. He will be in a coma for several hours. Now we You can do whatever you want. "

The entire room was almost turned upside down, and no key corresponding to the door lock was found. Under the Bible in the desk drawer, Li Biqing found an account book, which was a register of various church receipts and disbursements. It contains a clear record of every public donation received, church appropriations, daily expenses of churches and welfare homes, and even children ’s food expenses. He turned to the last page and found two donation items, which were sent by the church to the Children's Aid and the American Red Cross. The amounts were not large, most were only a few hundred dollars, and the highest was only two thousand. Every one or two months.

"Look at this," Li Biqing said to Leo, pointing to the last column of the ledger. "This item is the priest's own monthly expenses. Looking at last month, it was only $ 163, and it was crossed out by black pen. , To 142. Then the donation sent to the Children's Aid Society that month was also changed, an increase of 21 yuan. If this bill is true, a person from the meager personal expenses that can't even reach the slum consumption level can still Try to squeeze some of it out for charity. What do you think this shows? "

The black-haired detective remained unmoved: "It shows that he is either a saint who has chosen a thousand miles, or a hypocrite with profound skills."

Li Biqing flipped through the account book and thought, "I don't think this is a disguise. Father Bai Yisi really loves the children. Didn't you see him look at the black child holding the drawing board, just like that child?" There are a pair of fluffy little wings behind. "

Leo could not refute this, but even so, he still felt that the blameless priest was different. Out of strict job requirements, he always said that he was told, but this time, he chose to follow his instincts, just like Li Biqing did when he reasoned about the case.

"I called the headquarters and asked them to check those charitable donations. If it is true, both the Children's Aid and the American Red Cross will keep records." He said, and called the information service section's duty phone.

Ten minutes later, the results of the survey came and all of these donations were real.

"It seems we have to look away from Father Bai Yisi temporarily and look for another more suspicious object. There are many clergy in this church, don't we?" Li Biqing said.

Leo had to default.

They tried to restore everything in the room to their original state, hoping that the priest would not find anything unusual when he woke up. Before leaving, Li Biqing walked to the bed and drew a cross comfortingly to the unconscious priest. "Sorry to disturb you, Father, I wish you a good dream." He paused, and suddenly found something that stretched out his hand. He unbuttoned the neckline of Father Bai Yisi's pajamas, and pulled out a silver necklace from the inside of the garment, with an old grey key hanging from the end of the necklace.

"God, that key is here!" The Chinese boy lost his voice.

Leo immediately checked the front end, "This is the key to open the door," he said affirmatively, "Let's go and see what's behind the door."

The key tied to the priest's neck allowed them to open the secret door deep in the corridor smoothly. The door turned out to be a narrow, closed staircase that extended downwards, seemingly leading to the underground of the church.

After walking through the echoing staircase, they were greeted by a very wide hall. The ceiling was made into a circular vault like a sermon hall, painted with religious murals, heaven, Eden, and so on. Neither of them had a profound study of religion, they could only recognize God and the saints who had forgotten their names, and the bare-ass little angels flying all over the sky.

In the center of the hall, there are more than a dozen glass pillars, and the line of sight passes through the transparent barrier. The statues inside can be seen without hindrance. They are all children under the age of twelve or three. The skin color is white, black and brown. Behind the dove-like white feathers and wings, the graceful posture of angels on the murals.

These angel statues are so exquisitely made! It is more lifelike than that in Madame Tussauds. The color of each hair and the texture of each inch of skin are so realistic, it is almost like a living person frozen in a glass cover by the sudden solidification time.

"Is Renee just scared by these statues? It really looks like a real person who is still." Li Biqing visited each one and said in tongues, "These are the works of Father Bai Yisi? He is really comparable to Michelle Giro's artist ... do you see how these wings stick, using swan feathers? "

Leo watched one of them intently, almost sticking his face to the glass. After a moment, his face was full of haze and deposition, and it became even more terrible than the hurricane tsunami. "These," his voice was extremely dry and harsh, like a hard drill bit across the glass. "Are these statues? I I think they are more like— "

He squeezed a creepy word out of his teeth: "corpse!"

Li Biqing asked in shock: "What ?!"

The black-haired detective stepped back a few steps, "Yes! These are anti-corrosive corpses! Very clever handling! If it weren't because he had visited an expert specializing in corpse preservation techniques in a previous case, listen to him Telling some relevant knowledge, I will also treat these bodies as wax figures! "

"God ..." the Chinese boy murmured. "This is a corpse showroom, just under the church!" He turned his head to the agent for help, "Is this normal, Leo? I have heard that there are some in Europe Catholic churches or monastic churches have built catacombs to store anti-corrosive dried corpses. They think this is a tribute to the dead, but this custom seems to have been abolished for a long time, right? "

Leo nodded: "It has been banned for a century. I didn't expect to see it here. The corpses look intact, as if it didn't take long." A horrible thought suddenly penetrated into the brain, which made him handsome. With his face almost twisted, he said hardly, "If the bodies of these children were not made into specimens after natural death ..."

Li Biqing let out a stern light from his eyes. He looked like he was about to vomit, and then closed his mouth with his fist. "Oh my God, my God ..." He moaned / groaned incoherently.

"If that's the case," the federal agent was furious, "the so-called priest is simply an extremely perverted serial murderer!"

The two breathed deeply, as if the underground hall suddenly became thin with oxygen, and the glass covers seemed to put them in together.

"He should have a production room or something." Li Biqing looked around and found another door.

The door was not locked, they twisted open the handle and went in. The space inside is still huge, but it is full of various objects: neat drug racks, spacious metal tables, various test tubes, glass bottles, and operating tables with alcohol lamps ... There is also a row of unknown uses on the wall. Giant ceramic tube.

"Alcohol, salicylic acid, glycerol, zinc salt ..." Li Biqing browsed the label on the medicine bottle. "Why are these used? Formalin ..." He said suddenly: "He uses these drugs From preservatives! "

Federal agents laboriously opened the outer shell of a ceramic tube, and after seeing what was inside, they drew in air! It was a body of a child about six or seven years old. He put his hands in his hands and put a prayer pose on his chest, his eyes seemed to fall asleep. "The smell of alcohol ... he used this pipe and alcohol to dry it, dehydrating the corpse to dryness, and eventually mummification!"

"But those children don't look like dead bodies."

"I remember that the corpse preservation expert once said that glycerin can prevent the corpses from over-drying, salicylic acid can inhibit the growth of fungi, and zinc salts, which harden the corpses, so those corpses can stand in a vacuum glass cabinet like a statue. . "

"I sincerely hope that the priest is also just a corpse preservation expert who is good at antiseptic technology." Li Biqing could not bear to look away from the young corpse, and a deep and depressed anger was burning in his eyes.

The black-haired agent rebuilt the pipeline, and Shen Sheng said, "We need to take further evidence to investigate the identities of these children. If they were all adopted by the church welfare home during the twenty years of the service of Father Bai Yisi, the cause of death should not be Difficult to check. "

"What about the priest, do you want to arrest him?"

"No, now we have to leave here and return the keys to their original positions. Do n’t strike the grass first. I need enough evidence to prove that the children are still alive when they lie on this metal table, otherwise they can only blaspheme the corpses. Sin accused him. "Leo forced to endure the anger.

The Chinese boy looked a little uncomfortable, but had to agree.

Just when they were leaving the studio, the door was opened from the outside.
