Chapter 29 Twilight Blessing



When they faced this old man, they were all filled with gratitude. He was the Bishop of Twilight, a big shot who was elected as a senior councilor, but he was rooted in Yuguang and almost dedicated half of his life to the workers.

Now he dragged his old body to his knees, and no one thought they could bear it.

The workers in the cemetery on the back mountain, who were originally angry and wanted an explanation, all knelt down. Everyone felt that they had no right to stand and face the kneeling old man.

Behind the bishop, a priest with a face full of remorse and indignation walked quickly forward and wanted to help him up, but was stopped by the withered hand.

His voice was not loud, but in the quiet night, most people present could hear it clearly.

"The bodies in the cemetery were stolen. This is the church's responsibility, and it is also my responsibility. I promise to investigate this matter as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation. No matter who committed this crime, he will be handed over to the public for trial!"

The bishop's assurance had great persuasiveness in the hearts of the workers.

He only made a verbal assurance, and the workers dispersed. The church's back hill, which was originally crowded, became empty again, leaving only Twilight's clergy, the labor union, and the police department led by Tian Yuan.

With the help of the union president and Tian Yuan, the bishop stood up from his hunched body and sat back in his wheelchair.

He looked extremely tired, his body leaning back in his chair, his cloudy eyes raised to look at Tian Yuan.

"Inspector Tian Yuan!"

Tian Yuan could show off in front of Feng Yanyi and put on airs in front of Li Ming, but he didn't dare to put on airs in front of the bishop.

He bent down and lowered his head, his tone more respectful than ever before.

"I am here, Monsieur Bishop."

"Can I trust you with this matter of the cemetery?"

Tian Yuan, who was already annoyed by the lack of progress in Feng Zi's case and was unable to come up with an explanation within the seven-day deadline given to him by the parliament, did not dare to hesitate or refuse at this moment.

He stood at attention and bowed solemnly to the bishop as he assured him.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly, please leave it to me!"

"That's good. The people need an explanation, and the workers also need a belief that can sustain them."

The bishop sighed and shook his head, motioning to the nanny behind him to push the wheelchair away from the back mountain.

After he left, Tian Yuan no longer concealed his extremely ugly expression.

Almost everything fell on him, including the Fengzi escape case that the entire parliament was paying attention to, the murder case that frightened Yu Guang's workers, and now the empty grave case that was enough to shake the entire sun!

Apart from the murder case, he could not afford to delay the other two cases. The parliament was his immediate superior, and the bishop was a big shot whom he could not afford to offend.

Tian Yuan roared in a voice that sounded almost like he had given up on himself.

"Investigate! Investigate everything! Have someone investigate the time when the cemetery was dug up! Investigate everyone who has had contact with the cemetery over the years!"

Levi stood behind the crowd and watched the whole process coldly.

Fengzi stood beside him, grabbing his sleeve, her pale face full of worry.

"Why would anyone steal so many bodies?"

"Let's think about how to solve our own problems first." Levi said softly.

"What trouble are we in now? Have any police officers spotted us?"

Levi looked around and asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"Did you see Nanny Cheng this afternoon?"

Fengzi shook her head.

"No, she seemed to be busy with something after lunch."

When I saw Nanny Cheng again, it was already the morning of the second day after the incident.

Because of the empty grave case, all the clergy in the church were questioned and investigated one by one by the police, causing the choir training to be suspended for one day the next day.

Also on the same day, Nanny Cheng reappeared and conducted the first screening of the choir, which was already overstaffed.

Two children were screened out because they had limited literacy and had difficulty reciting the Gospels. This made the atmosphere in the choir, which had originally been relaxed and cheerful, become tense.

Where there is screening there will definitely be competition, and where there is competition the relationship between everyone will not become so pure.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

At the same time, after this screening, Nanny Cheng also called out five people for private conversations.

Li Wei and Feng Zi are among these five people.

They were brought into a room. The other three children all looked uneasy. After all, two of them had just been kicked out, and now the five of them were called out alone, which could easily make people have some bad associations.

Levi and Fengzi looked at each other. Fengzi's face was also full of embarrassment. She thought this was the trouble that Levi said they would encounter yesterday.

But Levi himself understood that things were probably not that simple.

After closing the door, Nanny Cheng's sharp eyes, which usually made people dare not look directly at them, now had an inexplicable tension and anxiety for some reason.

"You are the children who have performed best in the past three days, so the church will give you extra rewards. There will be a twilight blessing tomorrow that only clergy can participate in, and you can also come along."

After hearing these words, the worries on the three children's faces immediately disappeared, and even Fengzi's expression relaxed.

The five of them were brought to such a small room, and Nanny Cheng seemed to be brought there just to talk about this matter, and then she let them go.

On the way back, Levi asked Fengzi thoughtfully.

"Will there be scientists in the Twilight Church?"

This should be a common sense question, and Fengzi didn't find it strange when Levi asked it. He had been imprisoned for 17 years, so it was normal for him not to understand.

"Of course. Twilight was founded by a great brain biologist, and almost every priest is a doctor. The high-ranking bishops of the church are all registered at the Central Biological Institute, including the bishop of the Sun Diocese. He worked at the Central Biological Institute when he was young."

Fengzi also explained to Levi about the Twilight Blessing.

"In addition to biology, the Twilight Church basically gathers all the top biological talents in the dungeon. They are very experienced in solving bacterial diseases, improving human quality and prolonging life, so the Twilight Blessing is sought after by many rich people, but the Archbishop's blessing is generally something that money can't buy."

"The blessing that the church invites us to attend tomorrow should be just a small blessing hosted by a senior pastor. Even so, it is a rare blessing for ordinary people."
