On the way home, it started to rain, and there was a traffic accident ahead. A car and a truck collided, but it wasn't serious, and the drivers were negotiating in the rain.
Because the road was temporarily blocked, Karun stopped the car and waited. He rolled down the window, and some raindrops drifted in, bringing a refreshing chill into the car.
"We are still too weak," Karun said.
"Young master, your progress is already terrifying."
"Not enough."
"Young master..."
Karun raised his hand. "It's okay. I'm just expressing some feelings. You don't need to comfort me."
"Yes, young master. Actually, I have similar emotions. If I could become stronger, when the young master handles things, he could be more calm."
"Yes, that's right. If you were stronger when we first met, I might not have been able to escape Lady Molly's mouth. My soul would probably have been bitten and swallowed by her."
"If I was weak at the time, Mr. Dis might not have looked at me either."
"So we met at the right time."
"It's destiny, it's your will."
"Do you remember the first time I saw you? It was in Lady Molly's house. I was sitting on the bed, and you appeared in front of me. Oh, by the way, Mrs. Xius was about to kill me at the time."
"In fact, I arrived early that day and had been standing at the gate for a while."
"You should have come up earlier. I was really scared by Mrs. Xius at the time. But do you know what my first reaction was when I saw you?"
"I don't know."
"I thought your dress was so... cool."
"Cool" was Karun's original language, because at that moment, he felt that only this word had the strongest and most appropriate description.
But when Alfred heard this word, it was like a thunderbolt. He keenly caught that this was a word in that mysterious ancient language!
Alfred was extremely excited. "Young master, are you giving me a prefix?"
Like some kings in history, they would add some prefixes in front of names such as "madman", "dwarf", and "cripple" to distinguish them.
Because many people's names are long, the coincidence rate is also high.
Karun immediately said, "No, we don't need that. I can give you another one in the future."
"Okay, thank you, young master."
Alfred silently repeated it several times in his heart and even did some permutation and combination: Cool Alfred Basque. Huh?"Why not just use it as a surname? After all, it's a prefix that the young master gave me. In the future, on the mural, this character or syllable must be prominently displayed!"
Alfred Basque was very satisfied.
"Puerh and Kevin went to search for clues today. I don't know if they'll find anything."
"Master, Mr. Pavaro took so long because he needed to narrow down the scope by finding clues. Actually, for us, finding that place isn't difficult. The main problem is how to make it public after we find it."
"Let's wait until we find it," Karun said.
"Yes, Master."
"Thinking back, it was still faster and more convenient to follow Dis to Roja last time and sign in one by one. This time, I have a list, but I don't have the ability to go door-to-door for signatures."
"Master, isn't this what makes things interesting? I believe that in a few years, when you suddenly recall this matter, you will miss yourself now and miss this complex and tortuous process of solving problems and troubles when you were relatively weak. So, please enjoy this happy time, Master, because even if you want to reminisce in the future, you won't be able to feel what you feel now."
"Alfred, I feel like you've become more talkative after staying in the hospital for a few days."
"It's because your subordinate has become more devout."
"Hehe."
"Master, do you want to listen to some music?"
"Sure, you choose a song."
Alfred adjusted the car radio, and the radio emitted a burst of static. Then, a song with a gentle and melancholic tone and lyrics mixed with reminiscence of the past played.
"I have lost the sunset I once sat by the river to watch; I have lost the light wind I once chased in the field; I have lost the stars I once counted on the rooftop; Until now, I realized that I have lost too much beauty; Until now, I realized how rich I used to be..."
"What's the name of the song?"
"A Letter to My Past Self."
Karun nodded and said, "It's rare to hear a decent song title."
The mediation was over, and the two cars finally drove away. As Karun started the car, he said, "I promised to help Aleye diagnose his son, but it's delayed until tonight."
When the car reached the entrance of the community, it was already nearly eleven o'clock in the evening.At the security room outside the residential area, Aleiyeh's figure could be seen. He was chatting with two security guards when he saw Karun's car returning. Aleiyeh immediately took out a bag of warm meat sauce noodles and fried chicken wrapped in a quilted bag next to him.
Karun rolled down the car window and asked, "Young master, have you had dinner yet? There are meat sauce noodles and fried chicken here, still warm, and there is also a bag of fruit."
"Oh, Mr. Alfred, you've been discharged?"
"Yes, I went to pick him up," Karun said.
"Congratulations on your recovery, Mr. Alfred."
"Thank you," Alfred smiled at Aleiyeh.
"Where is Hand?"
"It's too late tonight, young master. You should eat something and rest early when you go back."
"Call the child over."
"He's already asleep, young master, hehe."
"Wake him up. It's my fault for delaying time, but the child cannot be delayed."
"Okay, young master, I'll bring him over right away."
"Oh, by the way, after I finish talking to the child, you, as the father, should apologize to him first and promise that such things will not happen again in the future. The child and the parents have no grudges, you need to take the initiative."
"Yes, yes, I know, I'll remember."
After parking the car and entering the house, Karun found that Puerh and Kevin had not yet returned. He put the lunch box on the table and opened them one by one. They were indeed still warm and did not need to be reheated. Alfred handed him the chopsticks, and Karun sat down and started eating. After pouring a glass of ice water for him and placing it next to him, Alfred also sat down to eat with him.
After dinner, Karun made a satisfied sigh. He hadn't had a proper meal today. Alfred looked at the time and found that half an hour had passed. He asked in confusion, "Why hasn't Aleiyeh brought Hand over yet?"
"Aleiyeh deliberately left us time to eat. You go open the door. He should be waiting in the corridor outside," Karun said.
Alfred got up, opened the door, and looked outside. "Come in."
"Okay, okay." Aleiyeh brought Hand in.
"Hand, come with me to the study. Alfred, do we have orange crystal at home?"
"Yes, young master, I've brewed it and brought it up."
Orange crystal was a drink that could be brewed and tasted sour and sweet, like orange juice. Since following Karun, Puerh's living standards had directly improved. Now, not only did she have to drink coffee and have afternoon tea every day, but she also had to drink fruit juice. However, after leaving the Allen Manor, there was no one to make fresh juice for her, so she could only choose this as a substitute.There is a separate cabinet in the kitchen, which contains snacks exclusively for Puerh.
Karun took Hande upstairs to his study.
Karun pointed to a chair and said, "Sit."
Hande sat down, but he still didn't speak.
Karun began to communicate with him through sign language, counseling and persuading him. Slowly, Hande began to respond to Karun actively through sign language.
The effect was good...
Of course, the main reason was that Aleiya only gave Hande one electrotherapy treatment. They came back the next day. If they did it a few more times, the child would probably be ruined.
As a deaf-mute person, this child looked sunny on the surface, but was actually very fragile inside, because they were born lacking a sense of security in this world.
At this time, the study door was pushed open, and Alfred walked in with two cups of orange crystal water.
"Leave the lighter."
"Yes, young master."
Hande's cup was hot, while Karun's had ice in it.
Karun took a sip. It was sweet and easy to get tired of, but it had a taste of memories. In his previous life, this kind of drink was very popular when he was a child.
After Hande drank it, he also smiled.
Karun continued to communicate with Hande, and even tore a piece of paper and drew Aleiya's appearance on it.
Aleiya was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, easy to draw. When Karun finished drawing, he noticed that Hande's eyes changed. Obviously, he knew that this was his father.
Karun picked up Aleiya's portrait and flicked it with his finger, as if beating Aleiya. Hande was very happy to do it.
It was like a child holding a doll and shouting, "Bad daddy, I'll beat you up!"
Finally, Karun picked up the lighter left by Alfred, lit the fire, and pretended to burn Aleiya's portrait.
Seeing this, Hande immediately snatched the paper with his father's portrait before the flame approached, and hugged it.
Karun nodded and smiled, extinguished the lighter, and then took Hande out of the study.
Seeing his son coming down, Aleiya, who had been instructed by Karun, immediately hugged his son at the staircase and kept making promises to him through sign language, and kept slapping himself.
Soon, the father and son hugged each other, and Hande cried.
Karun sent Aleiya and his son to the door, and Aleiya kept thanking Karun. Hande also became lively again, bowing to Karun and Alfred, who had just been discharged from the hospital.
"It's getting late. Rest well," Karun said.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore, young master, Mr. Alfred. You should also rest early."Karun was about to close the door when Aleiya suddenly leaned against it and said, "I almost forgot one thing, young master. The thing you asked me to investigate at noon."
"Well, do you have any results so soon?"
"I have some preliminary results. There are many small factories in our Blue Bridge community, mainly textile factories. Nowadays, it's not easy for ordinary people, especially illegal immigrants, to find a job that can last for a long time. They often cherish the jobs they have now. Therefore, the turnover rate of workers in most textile factories in the Blue Bridge community is not high.
There is only one factory with a very high turnover rate. I asked some friends who work in employment agencies, and their feedback was consistent. It's a textile factory and should be the largest one in the Blue Bridge community. The owner is Mr. Tader.
Every year, his family pays a service fee to the employment agencies and lets them help him recruit illegal immigrant workers. My friends who work in the employment agencies can live a good life just by doing business with him for these years."
"So they don't suspect why they need to recruit a large number of workers every year?"
"The factory's explanation is that Mr. Tader has textile factories in other cities such as Sanguo and Wein. After the workers here become skilled workers, they will be sent to other newly opened factories.
This reason is actually reasonable because there are the most illegal immigrants in York City."
"Okay, I got it."
"Young master, I will continue to investigate."
"No need, it's enough."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Okay, young master, I got it."
The reason why Karun asked Aleiya to help him investigate was that Aleiya was originally an intermediary. It was very normal for him to investigate this matter in other intermediaries and would not arouse suspicion from his superiors.
After closing the door, Karun sat down on the sofa.
"It's really Mr. Tader. So why did the Raphael family want to kill Mr. Tader? Was it because he was going to betray them?"
"Probably. Just like there are many leaders responsible for operations in the business under the Allen family, the Raphael family should also have this model. Mr. Tader used the pretext of using workers in the textile factory to recruit a large number of illegal immigrant female workers. After all, the textile factory is mainly composed of female workers.
As for the reason for his betrayal... I don't know. I even think that he made an appointment to see me for treatment, not to tell me about this matter. Maybe he hoped that I could help him make the final decision, or maybe he gathered the courage to treat me as a priest."
"Young master, I think we can ask his son about this matter. Of course, his son is probably not easy to contact now.""Before it was difficult to contact, but now we can try. When we make contact, we can intentionally leave some traces of light."
"Young master is right. If there are traces of light and remnants of light, they won't investigate us further."
In order to smoothly continue the investigation and erase their own traces, the best way is not to hide themselves as much as possible, because as the investigation progresses, they will definitely be detected by the other side.
Therefore, the real solution is to throw out the traces. From today's feelings, the remnants of light are still not to be underestimated and indeed have the qualifications to take the blame.
"Why haven't Puerh and Kevin come back yet?" Karun asked in confusion, because it was already past midnight.
"I'll go out and look for them, young master."
"No need, there's no point in looking now," Karun shook his head. "They'll probably be back soon. Let's rest first and go to Tadell's textile factory tomorrow."
"Okay, young master."
Karun walked up the stairs and halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask, "What day is it today?"
"Young master, today is the 26th, past midnight."
"That means yesterday was the 25th."
Karun quickly walked up the stairs, came to his bedroom, opened the bedside table, and took out a letter.
At this time, Alfred was also standing at the door of the bedroom, asking, "What's wrong, young master?"
"Do you remember this letter?"
"Of course I do. That night, Puerh and Kevin caught the crow that was delivering the letter and took it off of it."
"Take another look." Karun handed the letter to Alfred.
Alfred carefully read it once: 【Hall 3, Curtis Building, 2 PM, 25th. Light forever.】
"Yesterday was the day of the meeting," Alfred said.
Karun had no intention of going, so the letter had been left in the drawer.
"From the fact that they can control Piajie's clinic and home, it can be seen that the Bright Church has gathered quite a few followers in York City. Didn't we hear from that woman at night that Miss Basha is a godsend, and it is obvious that she and the old man who was at Piajie's home today are not on good terms.
They are remnants gathered from various places, and their subordinate relationship is not clear. They may just maintain a surface appearance of being on the same side, but in reality, they are all responsible for their own things."
"Young master, I still don't quite understand," Alfred said.
"At 2 PM, it's almost Mr. Tadell's appointment time. At the same time, a secret meeting of Bright Church believers is being held in the Curtis Building opposite the Saint Torre Building where Adam's Clinic is located.""So, Mr. Tadell never intended to come to the Adams Clinic for treatment. The place he wanted to go was actually across from the clinic."
"Then... Miss Bertha knew Mr. Tadell's true identity all along, and she was lying to us?"
Karun shook his head and said, "No, she had no reason to do so. The Light Church is not just being suppressed in reality, it is a completely banned church. Even its ordinary believers must hide their faith well."
This gathering uses black crows to pass messages, like a secret meeting of a spy organization. The crows should pass the message to senior old believers, and after they receive the gathering information, they will notify their own new believers to participate in the gathering together. This is a kind of feedback to the old believers and a consolidation to the new believers.
During the gathering, all believers may wear hooded robes and not expose their identities to each other. This can avoid the risk of a leak leading to the destruction of the entire church.
Mr. Tadell may have been suffering from moral condemnation due to his actions for a long time. He felt that he had committed a serious sin. Recently, or in recent years, he came into contact with the Light Church and became a believer in order to cleanse his soul of sin.
When preaching, old believers will definitely not directly say that our Light Church has disappeared, and now it is being suppressed by the entire church circle. How can we recruit new believers like this? Therefore, in Mr. Tadell's eyes, the Light Church and the Light God should be an extremely magnificent and powerful existence.
"So, Mr. Tadell was prepared with his own evidence to attend this gathering yesterday and report this evil thing to the Light Church during the gathering?"
"But he was intercepted on the way by the Raphael family's people because of suspicious behavior and tendencies of betrayal."
Karun nodded and said, "Yes, this is also the reason why I think Miss Bertha and the old man did not know that Mr. Tadell was a believer in the Light Church. Would Miss Bertha and the old man instruct their own believers to actively infiltrate and collect evidence of corruption in the Order Church, and then take this evidence to actively report to the high-level officials of the Order Church to obtain rewards?"
"Hehe..."
Alfred couldn't help but laugh, but immediately controlled his expression.
Because if this was really instructed by Miss Bertha, it would be equivalent to a fugitive taking the corruption evidence of the sheriff to the police station where the sheriff is located.
"Heh."
Karun licked his lips, "We previously discussed throwing all the traces of investigation to the Light Church. I still felt guilty about it, but now it's fine. I have no burden because this should have been their business."...
On a rainy night...
On a nearby rooftop, a cat and a dog slowly poked their heads out.
On the street below, five black-robed figures had already surrounded a person.
"Pavarro, you shouldn't have tried to escape. I thought you would have noticed the loophole I left for you on purpose."
"Of course I noticed, because then you could 'legally' kill me under the pretext of resisting arrest and fear of punishment, saving yourselves from an investigation into the abnormal death of an in-service judge."
"So why did you still try to escape?"
"Because I found out that the judge in charge of my trial is also one of you."
Captain of the Order Whip Squad, Thales, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it should be that we are his people."
"Hehe..."
"I know you wanted to wait until the trial to report to the judge, Pavarro. You're too naive. How could we give you that chance? It's better now, saves me the trouble of listing and organizing the charges against you. You know, listing charges against you is really torturous, because I've never seen such a clean and diligent judge like you before."
"In fact, if you didn't try to escape, you could have stayed in the cell for a long time and have the opportunity to think of a way out."
"After I found out that the judge who presided over my trial was untrustworthy, I couldn't sit in that cell for even a day. The thought of the evil still happening in that place while I was locked up was unbearable."
Thales raised his hand, and a black whip appeared in his palm. He sneered, "Our judge is so kind. You should go worship the God of Light."
Pavarro opened his hands, and two black flames appeared in his palms as he prepared for battle.

At the same time, he said, "What really tortures me is that you, who also believe in order, are desecrating it!"
