musicians of old

Chapter 389 The third movement The animals in the forest told me (2): Ashes (two in one)

"We're nursing!"

"We did nothing but eat and bathe!"

"This is just a private circle gathering, respected 'Flower Touch Ladies', did you check the wrong place?"

"Miss Cuckoo, what's going on!?"

The emotions and reactions of these ladies and girls are generally within the normal range.

There are some surprises and dissatisfaction at being interrupted suddenly, but after all, it is not the opposite sex who intruded rashly. Moreover, the church in this continent is above the royal family, and the various privileges of the upper-class nobles are effective in the secular world. .

"Stop talking nonsense, come up first." Norma Gang looked around the bath coldly.

Fan Ning was a little worried at first, whether this understanding person would notice the strange spiritual fluctuations underwater.

But for the time being, Gang's attention is mainly focused on those women's bodies that are glowing with warmth and luster.

"Following very closely... At first in the Art Archives, the Special Inspection Office moved a little ahead of me, and now in the villa, I am a little ahead of them." Fanning's brain was running fast.

"It seems that they have indeed noticed that there may be some problems with this party, but they don't know whether the problem they think is in the previous stage of dinner, or in the current bathing and nursing stage?..."

Under the orders of several female priests, these ladies and girls in loose bathrobes walked out of the petal pool one after another, and stood in a row on the shore at a loss.

And Fan Ning, like the other servants, still stood there dazedly but honestly.

The "Flower Touchers" took away the rose-colored essential oil bottles, and then used their slightly moist fingertips to stroke the skins of these female guests.

It seems to be checking or identifying something.

Norma Gunn's eyes were generally watching the actions of the "Flower Toucher".

But Fanning felt that she was occasionally glancing in his direction.

In other words, it is a little further away, the location of the pool where spiritual fluctuations exist.

Intuition told Fan Ning that the opponent's actions were also subconscious "intuition".

Immediately, he put on a look like the steam was smearing his face, and stretched out his left sleeve to rub his face.

Taking advantage of this time, he closed his eyes for a few seconds, and the sticky red oily liquid clutched in his other hand was brought into a dream together with the extraordinary strings wrapped around his wrist and disappeared quietly.

When I opened my eyes again, from my perspective, the movement under the tiles in the bathroom also died down.

Norma Gunn still looked in her direction a few times, and the frequency was gradually becoming sparse.

Fan Ning seemed to sense that the other party was a little confused.

At first, I didn't care much about it, and then I stopped paying attention to this direction.

"It is definitely the abnormal movement caused by the extraordinary strings. Only I, the holder of the abnormal colors, can see those abnormal colors, and Renilla can't feel them at all. However, due to the stronger spiritual intuition, those who understand can subconsciously catch a glimpse of the movement , if this woman has felt it for a long time, she may be tempted to check it out..."

Fanning still stared blankly at the row of ladies and girls on the bank.

The actions of the "Flower Touch People" are slowing down, and Fan Ning always feels that these people seem to have not found anything within the expected range.

At this time, there were some rustling sounds outside, and one of the male voices drifted into Fanning's ears. It should be Bishop Carlestini who had a little friction with him in the bar of the Grand Concert Hall that night:
"Do a good job of collecting evidence, and do a good job of collecting evidence for all the types and quantities of animals in the ban list."

Forensics?ban?animal? ...Fan Ning felt that things had become a little absurd.

He remembered the "gossip" that Marseilles had revealed during the chat at the night banquet during the journey: Since the abundance of products in the southern country seems to have declined in recent years, after the midsummer of this year's "Flower Ceremony" begins, the church or the Principality may soon A batch of protection lists that prohibit private hunting will be promulgated, including "gifts" such as coconut crabs and tea wood pigeons.

Just such a thing?

Could it be that the "flower touch people" just felt that the food they ate was not enough?
"Sir, the essential oil they smear is not 'seven blessings'." Someone whispered a few words beside Gang.

"Take away the bottle, let them get dressed and go out first." Gang let out a voice and stepped out of the curtain.

The bathing enjoyment that just entered the topic ended hastily.

After more than ten minutes, in the spacious living room, the sofas everywhere were full of people, and there were also people standing beside them.

The two waves of church personnel who were investigating in the bathroom and searching in other rooms met, and someone was bending over the table to fill out some checklist and other documents.

"Gentlemen, I think an explanation is still needed."

Renilla spoke softly, but not entirely gently.

"The explanation is that the prohibition has been written very clearly, and the level is the 'crimson handwriting' informed by the saint's '伈佊' induction." Bishop Calestini's tone was very calm.

"What?" "Highest level!?"

Reneela frowned.

"Yeah." Fanning was also thinking.

The sage "伈佊" is the official "apostle" of Fanghui Temple.

Compared with the head of the church, Archbishop Fields, a public figure who often shows his face, the saint "伈佊" is considered to be the existence directly enshrined in the "Fanghui Poet". This kind of semi-mythical existence, ordinary clergy Or believers can't even see their image.

Just like the "light bather" of the Church of the Holy Sun, or the "advisor" of the current school forces, its strength is higher than that of the "bishop" and the "mentor", and it is at the level of a complete orderer.

These noble ladies and girls with high family titles and impatient expressions, although they don't know such a deep-seated secret, their complexions finally changed.

What Marseille Negu, the external mediator of the Special Patrol Office, knew in advance... As princes and nobles, they must have heard the same thing: a batch of gift lists were included in the prohibition of arrest and fasting, but they did not take it to heart and still participated in it This feast was organized and initiated by the prince's daughter, Miss Cuckoo.

Aristocratic status inherently means privileges, and what ordinary people are not allowed to eat does not mean that they cannot.

But how did things get so serious this time?

The "Crimson Handwriting" that can be approved by the "伈佊" induction is the "No. [-] Document" in every sense!On average, there is only one guarantee for the new issuance every year, that is, the identification of the poet laureate, and even the victory of a famous singer only needs the "orange handwriting" signed by the archbishop.

Except for the recognition of the poet laureate, the introduction of the "red handwriting" in previous years was all related to the change of the head of the royal church or major state affairs decisions. It must be a faulty crime against the core teachings!
"Cooked 60 Tiya wooden pigeons, 47 have been eaten, and 30 are waiting to be slaughtered in the back kitchen; 10 coconut crabs have been cooked, all of them are eaten, and 10 are waiting to be slaughtered; 1 Paradogos tortoise is cooked and eaten..." priesthood Personnel read out the types and numbers of these animals.

"All those who eat and handle will be sentenced to three months in prison, and the organizer Renilla will be sentenced to double. The relevant notifications and worship restrictions will be implemented in accordance with the regulations." Calestini said.

The faces of the female guests were not very good.

In fact, as long as you have money these days, as long as it is not a capital punishment, you can be released on bail for any imprisonment or prison disaster. For nobles, in order to show their generosity, they usually pay to bail their servants together, but this would be A lot of nerve-wracking funds.

Another important point is that the family has been restricted from participating in church activities for a period of time, coupled with a large-scale notification... This has added a disgraceful trouble to the family!Just get together for a meeting, suffer this kind of loss, there is no equivalent benefit, it is just a big loss.

Two comprehenders and eight priests led more people involved out of the gate one after another, and Renilla walked among them without saying a word.

No matter what kind of bail method is followed, at least one night of detention first is indispensable.

Fan Ning, who was standing among the servants who were not involved in the incident, felt that there was something strange about this series of events.

The church enforced this ban with such great force. Bishop Carlestini, who was having a good time with the royal family a few days ago, is now going to check with ten or twenty nobles who started as counts, without considering the impact at all. Just one aspect.

There is also the coincidence of the address, Renilla's identity, the change in the water in the bath, and the appearance of Norma Gunn who is investigating another line—this person obviously went to the bath at the first time, but later this incident only happened. No words were mentioned, and the focus was all shifted to the banquet.

Have you found out that "Seven Blessings" is related to this place, but you haven't made any progress just now?
"The occupant of this house is the troubadour Senessino?" Norma Gun asked.

"Yes, Ms. Gang, this is a 'Forged Lion' composer, the teacher of the organizer Renilla just now." Bishop Carlestini nodded.

"Send him an interview and a warning in the name of the discussion group, and then the villa will be temporarily sealed up."

"Ok."

At this time, two men with briefcases came down from the spiral staircase, leaned over and whispered in Gang's ear:
"Miss Gang, all the materials related to him in the attic have been burned, and the rest of them have not been found."

material?burn?Fan Ning, who was standing aside with his head bowed, was moved in his heart.

"It happened to involve him?" Gang looked up and narrowed his eyes in the direction of the stairs.

"Yes, during the period from after Viern to before Senesino, the materials left by three consecutive musicians living here are well preserved, and the materials of the former have turned into a few piles of ashes, but the number Not many, just four thin drawers."

Could it be that there was nothing wrong with this Renilla, only her teacher? After pondering for a moment, Gang asked, "Have you made a preliminary appraisal? Was it this Senesino who burned it recently?"

If the time is within 48 hours, more detailed enlightenment can be obtained by retrospecting the ashes and slag of mysticism; during the period from seven days to a hundred days, the detail of the information will drop like a cliff, but some valuable information can still be found. and if it is beyond a hundred days, it is almost impossible to find, unless in the backtracking mystery, some objects that are strongly related to the investigation object can be used as "primers".

This occult principle is similar to the requirement for the psychic of the dead.

The gentleman with the briefcase shook his head:
"It's been a very long time, sir, close to forty years I'm afraid."

Gang frowned.

40 years?Could it be that someone ruined Viern after he left?Or did he destroy it himself?
After the group put the people involved into the carriage, they sent all the remaining servants out of the living room.

Finally, seals with church logos were pasted around the doors and windows.

So the drivers who were waiting for their hostess at the door stared at the people who were kicked out.

In the night, the carriage of the church gradually drifted away. After half an hour of the chaotic scene, some people were still in a daze and did not move.

Fanning had already withdrawn from the crowd.

He carried a stone brick and raised it from the backyard of the villa, directly to the wall of the attic on the third and a half floors.

The Extraordinary Strings was brought out of the dream again, and after repeating the same trick, he pushed open a purple invisible door from the wall.

The area of ​​the attic is not small, but it is cramped due to the dark atmosphere and dense display. The dust on the window sills and furniture is not particularly thick, which shows that the domestic servants still have a low cleaning frequency for this place.

After all, the church has stipulated that the users of these former residences have the obligation to maintain the historical materials of the original musicians.

After a few minutes, Fanning found the area he wanted to see by following the table signs and other things.

The flat mahogany drawers several inches square, and the four cupronickel iron boxes have a complete and smooth surface, while inside are a thick layer of uniform and fine paper ash, with tweezers and other traces of rummaging, which should be investigated half an hour ago staff left.

Indeed, there is no information at all.

But one thing is at least clear—Vienne's name is clearly engraved on the top of the table and counter.

On the other side of the Fox Lily field that I just came over, the address of correspondence in the former residence of Master Ton is the place where Viern lived after realizing the "Wake Up Song" in 875.

This is it.

In 40 years, there have been three musicians between him and the current inhabitant, Senesino.

Fanning pushed the drawer in and got up slowly.

In the darkness, he walked slowly with his spiritual sense, from the attic of the villa to the third floor, and then from the third floor to the second floor.

Turning in the T-shaped corridor with a long beach oil painting hanging, walking toward the depths of the corridor on the second floor, thinking about the suspicious things in it.

After a few breaths, he walked to the door of the banquet preparation room that he first sneaked into.

After gently opening the door, Fanning frowned.

He felt himself in a trance for a while, as if something was wrong.

After standing still in front of the dark room door for a few seconds, Fanning's eyes fell on the chair that was placed in front of the console.

With the slight lift of his right hand, the heavy curtain by the window was ripped open out of thin air, and then he clenched his teeth slightly.

The maid who was fainted by herself was gone!
