New Gods of North America

There were clergy from the local church leading the way, and church members like David Mills following.

The operation to arrest the church deacon went unusually smoothly.

It's almost like shopping in a modern supermarket. You look around the shelves and find what you want.

Then he took it away.

It was already morning. When Wayne and his companions arrived at the church, the deacon was in the pulpit area in the hall, checking items and cleaning up, apparently making routine preparations for tomorrow's church sermon.

Then Wayne said that he came here according to the instructions of Pastor Bazzini. The other party looked at the people around Wayne and confirmed that what Wayne said was not a lie, so he cooperated and left the church.

There was not even any attempt to resist or escape.

The whole process went so smoothly that even Lina didn't have time to take out the high explosives that she had brought down from the detective agency's carriage.

Wayne felt something was not right.

When he was escorted to the Georgeberg "Police Station", he was tentatively interrogated a few questions in the carriage.

What everyone was going to this time was no longer the previous police station, but the so-called "old police station".

Theoretically, that is the old site of the Georgeburg local police station. If any unauthorized persons mistakenly enter there, staff will remind them to go to the new address of the police station.

But in fact, it is now a special department of the local police, directly managed by the local parish church, and is responsible for matters involving "fallen people".

For example, a formal interrogation or a short-term detention.

Pastor Bazzini brought some people last night to "take Roy Stampler away", that is, to send him here.

But the deacon,

However, he acted as if he was unaware of the case - not that he was "completely unaware", as he admitted that he had heard some "rumors" related to the case in the past few days.

It gives people the feeling that he is an innocent church member.

I just heard the pastor had an order, so I obeyed and followed him.

Even after being put in special shackles, his reaction was more confusion than panic.

Considering the extraordinary ability of "range" type that Roy Stampler demonstrated before his arrest,

If this deacon is really the so-called "mastermind", then for the sake of safety, the danger level of his extraordinary ability must be raised to a higher level.

So while he was still cooperating, everyone didn't talk to him too much in the carriage.

At least the order Wayne and his men received was to arrest him first.

As to whether they arrested the wrong person or the other party was indeed "skilled and daring" and confident that he could hide it from everyone, we can only wait until he is sent to the place and then interrogate him under safe conditions.

Moreover, a group of people have already searched his residence. If there is a problem, they should be able to find some clues.

…

Since it is the "Old Police Station\

,"In terms of scale, it is certainly not as well-equipped as George Berg’s current police station.

However, this place is still a solid brick and stone building, and even a spacious basement has been dug out.

There is definitely no problem with the one-stop service of interrogation, detention and trial, and maybe he even works part-time as an execution ground occasionally.

Although Lina usually didn't like to go near places like churches, she seemed quite interested in this old police station and was secretly looking around in the dungeon.

After sending the deacon to a special interrogation room,

Before Wayne and his team began the formal interrogation, Tom Hagen knocked on the door and walked in.

At this time, Tom Hagen was wearing a black glove with a sacred emblem tattooed on the back of his hand with golden thread.

His thumb and index finger were holding one of Peter's hind legs - the big spider was hanging upside down there pretending to be dead.

"Did one of you lose this thing accidentally?" asked Tom Hagen.

Seeing Lina pretending to look around, Wayne silently stretched out his hand and said, "This is something from our detective agency."

Tom Hagen didn't seem to care too much about it and put Peter on it casually:

"Then don't lose it again. It's okay here, but if you're in a cathedral, if you lose something, you usually can't find it back."

Wayne nodded obediently, found a pocket and stuffed Peter into it.

Then he realized something was wrong, "You're here too? Where's Pastor Bazzini?"

"According to the order of the Reverend, I am here with my men to escort Roy Stampler."

Tom Hagen's expression remained relaxed. "As for Pastor Bazzini himself, he is now in another interrogation room inside."

The "murderer" is not lost, and the "target" is not lost either...

Wayne looked at the deacon who was locked behind the interrogation table with some suspicion.

Could it be that “the more skilled you are, the bolder you are”?

wrong,

Although Roy Stampler was arrested last night,

But today is still the "sixth day" - the person who is going to die should be "greed".

So Wayne continued to ask, "What about Mr. Schultz from before? Is he still in the police station now?"

Tom Hagen raised his eyebrows slightly:

"You reacted pretty quickly. I have secretly left two people there to protect him. By the way, there are a few more people who are probably already at the Schultz family's manor.

“Although I don’t know if this was an oversight on the part of Pastor Bazzini, if it had been done in time, perhaps no one would have died today.”

Hmm...

Wayne had no doubts about this and chose to continue interrogating the suspect honestly.

Then after the church staff "purified" the deacon,

Wayne and David Mills discovered the problem.

It was still a golden light as bright as the midday sun, and it was still a similar reaction during the ceremony.

Then Wayne and the others asked the deacon about the case.

But I got almost the same answer as Roy Stampler.

There are still the "blasphemous" books in the old bookcase, there is still the ability to see the "sins" of others, there are still complete details of the crimes and the mental journey,

Except that the deacon was not arrested at the crime scene last night, the confession was almost something that only a "murderer" could give.

Wayne was still unsure at this time, so he extinguished the candle in the magic circle where the other party was.

He led everyone to stand a little further away:

"Since you said that you committed the crime and that you received the 'gift' of the Holy Spirit during the crime, then show us your ability and let us see if it is true."

The deacon lowered his head slightly when he heard this.

Then when he raised his head again, a spherical area with a radius of three meters and centered on him quietly unfolded.

And a golden light was already shining in his eyes.

The murderer can actually do "wholesale"? !
