Chapter 6 Faith

"Please forgive me for being rude with Sars before. However, we belong to the same team, should we share information?" Kora was silent for a while, and finally spoke again.

"No, Mrs. Cora, you misunderstood. It's not that we don't want to tell you, but we can't be sure before we see the Johns and his wife's report!" Hill's eyes flashed and he explained with a smile, "Since you insist, let's talk about some of our guesses. Of course, Qin Lun and I may not necessarily have the same reason."

Hill looked at Michelle who was driving and took out the three "copper coins" from the victim from her pocket.

"The cultural background of the Nars world is somewhat similar to ours. According to some religious legends of the Earth Federation, after a person dies, the soul needs to cross the Styx to reach the world after death. There is a ferryman in the Styx, but it does not pick up the soul for free. Therefore, the relatives of the deceased will put a coin in the mouth of the deceased to make them safe all the way!"

"Do you think there are similar myths and legends in the world of Nars?" Cora asked curiously.

"Yes, I checked these 'copper coins' and just found that they are not ordinary currencies, but the bones of a creature, which belong to part of the forehead bone of the troll. If a troll dies, a hole similar to a coin will appear on the forehead of the skull."

Hill picked up two of the three "copper coins" and handed them to Qin Lun and Kola each. "Check the myths and legends of the Narce world, and you will find that the God of Redemption was originally a troll shaman. The God of Redemption forgives the sins of the world at the cost of this skull coin and escorts them to the world after death. This thing is also an enchanting material that can be brought into the broken starry sky, one for each of us!"

"But... I don't understand, what does this have to do with whether the murderers of the two cases are the same person?" Kora asked even more confusedly, rubbing the skull coins.

"The murderer of the villa case put the skull coins into the victim's mouth, which shows that he hopes that the deceased can be saved after death. He is full of hypocritical mercy, like a killer who pays great attention to principles!" Qin Lun blinked at Hill narrowly.

"Sometimes, the murderer's behavior will indirectly reflect his own psychological state. The victim's couple was poached and cut off their eyes and cumming, and then put in a specific position of hugging their daughter. The little girl had no external injuries except for the broken neck bone, which means that the murderer did not want her to suffer too much pain. During the murder, the murderer imagined the little girl as herself, hoping that she could also get such a happy family."

Speaking of this, Qin Lun looked at Hill with a smile, "The couple's eyes were dug out, which means that the murderer was ashamed of his behavior and did not want the victim's soul to look at him. The three of them were put into skull coins, which was because he hoped that the three of them would be saved and not leave any resentment towards him. As for the internal organs lost by the victim, they might have been taken away by the murderer to eat. This is an ogre with a tragic childhood and a bit of religious paranoia."

As for Qin Lun's ridiculous look, Hill turned his head expressionlessly and fought back without showing any weakness: "We have not seen the information of the Johns and his wife's case yet, and we do not know the information of the other murderer for the time being. However, Sheriff Marov once said that the Johns and his wife died miserably, almost torn into pieces, and their flesh and blood were trampled and mixed into the soil. This should be a beast with no respect for life and no principles. It is more cruel and inhumane than the ogres in the villa case!"

"Hmph!" Qin Lun snorted coldly, turned his head and stopped talking.

"Oh, okay, I understand, a principled hypocritical ogre, an inhuman executioner!" Kora felt something wrong between the two and twisted uneasy.

The three returned to the police station in a strange atmosphere. Michel followed Sheriff's instructions and retrieved the files of the murder of John and his wife for them.

Bloody photos and live records verify Hill and Qin Lun's speculation. The murderer who killed John and his wife was as cruel as a wild beast. He almost tore John and his wife into pieces. The scene and the villa murder were two styles.

Perhaps Sheriff Malov realized this at the time, so he chose to compromise and let them watch the case information and participate in the case investigation in some form.

"Did you find anything when you look at the corpses in the photo?" Cora pointed at the photo with shiny eyes. Esmila's policewoman felt like a newcomer who had just started working along the way. At this time, he had some discovery and couldn't wait to show his abilities.

"These corpses are neatly cut, not caused by the minions of wild beasts. Judging from the section of the bones, they should be heavy weapons such as thick-backed machetes or mountain axes." Qin Lun glanced at them and said immediately.

Qin Lun himself is a doctor who is proficient in dissection, and John and his wife are humans, and his judgment is almost as good as that of professional forensics.

"A beast who can use tools, or a wise creature that has lost its intelligence!" Hill left the photo and said in a pondering voice, "Let's go, there's nothing good to look at, we should go back and discuss it!"

...

"What you mean is that John and his wife were killed by a mentally ill madman, not a mysterious phenomenon! But in this way, there is no way to explain the disappearance of the three children!" Sass looked at Qin Lun and the other two with surprise. Seeing that his wife did not refute, he immediately frowned.

"Maybe the death of John and his wife is different from the disappearance of their three children!" Hansen shrugged in uncertainty.

"You guys have done a good job, and the intelligence collection ends here! In any case, we need to go to the Crystal Lake camping area. Only by going to the scene can we understand what the family encountered!" Sass stood up and pulled Cora out, "See you tomorrow, gentlemen!"

After the SAS couple returned to their room, Qin Lun and the other two were slightly silent.

"Okay, they are all gone. Do you two have anything else to say?" Hansen looked at Hill and Qin Lun and curled his lips.

"No, Hanson, what we just said is the whole situation. This incident... is very strange!" Hill frowned, stood up and walked around the room, "I always feel something is wrong, but... I can't say it!"

"Does it feel too simple? The Johns and his wife were killed by madmen. Their children were taken away by the murderer or rescued." Qin Lun walked to the window and looked at the sunset outside the window with his eyes flashing slightly. "No matter what secret there is in this incident, it seems to be too easy, right? It seems that compared to the tasks that the apostles need to participate in, it is not at the same level!"

"Yes, it's true that this is the feeling!" Hill's eyes lit up and he nodded cautiously. "The Johns and his wife were not dead strange enough, and the damage caused on the scene was still within the range of manpower. No matter what was taken away by the three children, it seemed that a team of apostles did not need to rescue him. If it were the entire city crisis in Crystal Lake City was almost the same!"

"Did you two forget that this is just a guiding task? Maybe it will lead to the main task after this matter is solved!" Hansen rolled his eyes and said angrily, "It's so hard to have a mission with you. There will always be so many conspiracy theories!"

"Hansen, Hill, maybe we were thinking about the wrong direction of the mission!" Qin Lun suddenly pulled the curtains, turned around and said softly, "I mean, don't you feel that the Narls world itself is weird?"

"Qin Lun, where are you referring to?" Hansen and Hill looked at each other and asked vigilantly.

"Look at this room, look at the streets outside, and see everything we have seen in Crystal Lake City. Have you seen traces of magic? Have you seen a magic prop?" A glimmer flashed in Qin Lun's eyes, "You must know that this world... is the middle-demon world in the stage of popularizing magic networks!"

Hanson's pupils shrank, but Hill did not show surprise, but his face slowly became solemn.

"Did you find out too? It seems we should exchange ideas for each other..." Hill said slowly.

...

"Hey, my dear, what's wrong? Are you unhappy when you go out with those two Earthlings for a day today?" Sass held his wife's cheeks and said apologetically, "Sorry, the plot identity arranged by Broken Starry Sky for me is not suitable, otherwise I wouldn't let you go with them alone!"

"No, SAS, I just think...we should respect them more, today's case..." Cora frowned and stammered.

"Oh, by the way, today's case!" Sass said with a laugh, "Dear, your performance today is really amazing. If the Crystal Lake Police Department hired you, I'd probably solved this case long ago. I really don't know what those centaurs do for food, such a simple case..."

"Sas, Sas... Stop laughing!" Cora stared at her husband with an ugly expression.

"What's wrong, my dear?" Sas scratched his head awkwardly.

He used to be a patrol police officer, responsible for city patrols and violent assaults, and Kola was the real murder detective. Although the two were colleagues, they worked differently. He had always been proud of his wife's intelligence.

"Today's case... is not my credit!" Cora sighed and told Sas in detail about the experience of the day.

"This... maybe, maybe they were just lucky!" After hearing his wife's narration, Sass widened his bull's eyes in disbelief.

"No, this is not luck, SAS! That kind of observation, that keenness, those analytical judgments... I mean, I could not think of it at all! Even the serious case team I had been to, it took several days of case analysis and collective efforts to draw those conclusions!" Cora stared at her husband and said seriously, "SAS, those two people are not ordinary people, and they are definitely not as they said themselves, one is a pastor and the other is a doctor!"

"I don't understand, nor do I believe it!" Sass looked gloomy and swept everything on the table to the ground, roaring in his throat, "They are just earthlings, just earthlings!"

"Sas, don't do this. Actually, you know in your heart that we do not have racism. The Esmiras have no racists at all. We... we just need faith, a new belief!" Cora hugged her husband from behind, her face full of tears.
