The wooden door has not been opened for a long time, and the lock on it is even rusty. It is said that a man once lived here, but one time when he was repairing the hands of the clock, he unfortunately fell from above and died. No one has set foot here since.
Even the priest who took over here has never been here.
Inspector Liu was chewing an apple and wandering around the church with his round eyes. Behind him were four or five police officers from the patrol room. Some of them held batons in their hands, while others held box cannons, looking vigilant.
¡°Father, did anyone suspicious enter your church tonight?¡± Inspector Liu asked.
The priest was very young, only in his early thirties. After the old foreign priest passed away, he took over the church.
However, although he was only in his early thirties, others could see an extremely kind look in his eyes. Like a kind elder.
The priest lifted up his black robe, revealing the cross inside and said: "No one will come back to disturb God's sleep at this late hour."
Detective Liu threw the half-eaten apple in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "God has rested! But he needs to rest, so routine inspections here are still necessary. Speaking of which, Father , have you heard of it! Mayor Chang was shot to death two days ago."
The priest made a prayer gesture and said in a compassionate voice: "Oh, my God, that is so sad. I hope Mayor Chang can enter heaven and be with God."
Inspector Liu waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't pretend to be a fool here. Brothers, go upstairs and search to see if there is anyone who shouldn't come in."
The priest sighed, knowing that he could not stop them.
He could only hold the cross on his chest and came to the cross in the center of the church. He looked at Jesus who was crucified on the cross with a pious expression and said: "Almighty Lord! Please forgive their sins!"
After praying, the priest hurriedly followed.
He knew very well that although the people in the patrol room were policemen in name, they were actually bandits wearing police uniforms.
Once before, these people said they would come to the church to search for a thief, but they did not find the thief. A lot of money in the church was taken away by these people.
But in this world, what can others do if they are insignificant? As long as he was not pushed too hastily, he could only pray to the Almighty Lord to forgive these people's sins.
Speaking of which, the priest is really strange. His family¡¯s money has been stolen, and he is still praying to God to forgive these people¡¯s sins. Maybe this is what they call "loving all living beings"
As expected, after these people arrived on the second floor, their eyes began to look around, trying to find something valuable.
In a short time, several silver bracelets and some silver tableware were taken away by these people.
¡°But the priest could only pretend that he didn¡¯t see anything. He couldn¡¯t afford to offend these people. If they have any objections, not only will these people not stop, they will even intensify their actions.
The priest faced the cross on his chest and began to recite the contents of the Bible in a low voice: "God said, let there be light, so there was light in the world"
Inspector Liu went up the circular staircase. The church has three floors. When we reached the third floor, the stairs were already sealed by an iron door.
He used the flashlight in his hand to shine on the stairs. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
Inspector Liu turned his head and asked the priest behind him: "Father, is that the bell tower above?"
The priest nodded and said, "Yes, it's the bell tower, but no one has been there for a long time."
Inspector Liu said: "Do you have the key there? I want to have a look!"
The priest was a little taboo about that place. After all, the bell tower was very dangerous. He was originally timid and had never been to the bell tower since he took over the identity.
He said with some embarrassment: "Inspector Liu, there can't be anyone there! No one has set foot there for many years."
Before the priest could finish speaking, Inspector Liu suddenly walked to the window next to the stairs, and then shined the flashlight on the window sill.
The window sill here is covered with dust, but on top of this dust, there is a footprint.
Inspector Liu¡¯s small eyes suddenly shone with extremely vigilant light. He WillThe flashlight was turned upward, and then two handprints were found on the edge of the window. It was obvious that someone had opened the window and went out from here, leaving footprints and handprints.
¡°And the handprints and footprints looked very new. It was obvious that the person had just passed here not long ago.
He turned his head, shined the flashlight on the priest's face, and said coldly: "Father, harboring criminals is a serious crime! Aren't you afraid of going to jail? Take out the key quickly and open the iron door."
When the priest heard the word "go to jail", he immediately became scared. He hurriedly took out a large bunch of keys from his waist. Then started rummaging.
In the narrow and dark staircase, the noise made when the keys were turned echoed along the stairs and throughout the church.
The priest searched for a long time before finally finding the key to the iron door.
The lock core of the iron door was already a little rusty. The priest used a lot of effort to finally open the iron door. With a squeaking sound, the mice hiding in the bell tower suddenly made a squeaking sound.
Inspector Liu shined his flashlight upwards, then glanced at a subordinate behind him and said, "You kid, go that way, we'll cover you from behind."
A gloomy atmosphere emanated from the bell tower, and Detective Liu's men were also a little frightened. But he did not dare to disobey Inspector Liu's order, so he could only bite the bullet and walked towards the bell tower with the box cannon in one hand and the flashlight in the other.
It¡¯s not too far from the third floor to the bell tower. But Inspector Liu and the priest felt that they had walked for a long time because of inexplicable fear.
Finally, his subordinate finally reached the door of the bell tower.
"Open the door!" Detective Liu looked at the shivering priest and said.
The priest tremblingly took out the key from his waist, then walked to the wooden door of the bell tower, and after a long while he fumbled for the key to open the door.
