Game of Destiny: This player is different
Chapter 365
Probably because she was interrupted from meditating.
Safia looked tired, and even her golden bangs were a little messy.
She stroked her hair and continued what she had just said: "Do you remember what we left for the old Daley family?"
"Candles."
Su Mali shook her head gently: "Isn't it too hasty to be accused of blaspheming Erin just because of this kind of thing?"
"The candles are just the fuse. The real reason should be,"
Safiya looked at Maggie standing by the door: "Your sister, Beth."
Hearing this name,
the latter's pupils dilated slightly, and a slightly artificial look of realization appeared on her face:
"It's that man! The knight that my father begged for a long time to invite.
He made unreasonable demands on Beth, and after being rejected, he held a grudge, so he found a reason to take my father away?
How can this be, how can this be!
We didn't pursue his excessive behavior, why are we still holding on to it?
No, I'm going to the cathedral to report this matter and prove my father's innocence!"
Maggie was about to run out of the house, but fortunately Mia was quick to grab her.
Qin Nuo, who was watching from the sidelines, also appeared silently in front of the door at this time, like a door god blocking the exit.
He did not point it out, but just looked at the other party with his black eyes under the deerstalker hat, and asked calmly:
"How do you plan to report it?"
Maggie shook off Mia's hand and stepped forward: "I will find the priest and explain what happened."
"What if the priest doesn't believe it?"
"Then I will find the bishop."
"What if the bishop doesn't believe it either?"
"I will beg the Pope to listen."
"How many times have you seen the Pope since you were born?
I mean face to face, close contact."
Maggie was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer.
The Pope has a high status.
Except for Christmas and important celebrations, he will appear in public.
The rest of the time, it is difficult for ordinary people to see him.
Maggie has been married to Rochester for eight years, and she has only seen him from a distance a few times in the crowd.
"If it's useful to find the church, why do we need to come to the detective agency?"
Qin Nuo took a quick look at her outfit and said to himself: "Let me guess.
You went to the church and explained the incident to the nuns or priests.
But the church refused and offered a bargaining chip that you couldn't afford to redeem Old Daly.
You had no choice but to put your hope on us,
cheap and responsive detectives."
Four pairs of eyes fell on the same figure.
The atmosphere called "quiet" filled the house.
After a while,
The figure slowly spoke, with despair and pleading in his tone: "They want to take everything away.
If you agree, my father, mother, and sister will be homeless."
"You can take them to the city to live together. There is no need to offend the church for this."
Su Mali asked puzzled.
"I can't, I can't."
At this point, Maggie bit her lips tightly, as if she had something to hide.
Several players present were even more confused.
Mia tugged at Qin Nuo's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Maggie's husband is a gambler and owes a lot of debts.
Debt collectors sometimes block the door of the apartment, and sometimes wait on the road to force Sister Maggie to pay back the money."
"Debt collectors from a woman?"
Safia frowned, "The gambling debts owed by the husband should be repaid by himself."
"The man ran away two years ago, and the casino couldn't find him, so he asked Sister Maggie for the debt.
She has been hiding it from her family for the past two years and has worked hard to repay the debt."
Mia shrugged her shoulders. , like a child who made a mistake:
"Sorry, boss, I lied.
Usually it's not Sister Maggie who helps me, but I sometimes share the extra food with her.
You know,
It's very difficult for a woman to repay debts and raise two children.
Sometimes she has to work in that kind of place out of necessity.
Several times she was almost kicked out by the landlord because she couldn't raise the rent.
But I can guarantee that Sister Maggie is really a good person."
No wonder Old Daly could offer 500 shillings as a reward.
Maggie, the eldest daughter, wore clothes that were washed white and patched in many places, and her face was faintly dusty.
How can a woman who has difficulty supporting herself help her homeless parents and sister?
How would the family feel when they saw that the woman who should have lived happily in the big city had fallen into such a state?
Old parents help to pay off debts together? There is no place for the elderly in Rochester.
Maybe Nian Beth will also be dragged to a brothel by the debt collector to pay off the debt.
Su Mali waved her hand and didn't dwell on it too much.
There are many people in the world who live a miserable life, and each has their own difficulties.
Continuing to ask will only add to the sadness.
He changed the subject: "The church asked your family to hand over the land?"
"Well, the transfer fee for the entire farmland is only 100 shillings."
100 shillings is not enough for a family of three in Rochester for a month.
What's the difference between this and robbery.
"Haha, the church is still playing the villain as always."
Qin Nuo rubbed his chin and muttered to himself: "Even if the upper leaders want to govern in an open manner, the monsters and demons below will still be secretly disobeying.
The greater the power, the more desires."
"Hey, what are you talking about."
Su Mali raised her eyebrows, her eyes hinting that there are other people here.
Fortunately, Maggie and Mia didn't notice.
Safia walked towards her teammates leisurely and said lightly: "Although the source is not from us, there is always a connection.
It seems that leaving it alone is not in line with the purpose of our detective agency."
Does the Gray Pigeon Detective Agency have a purpose?
Su Mali scratched her head, thinking that we can only charge low fees at most.
If this can be considered as a purpose, then it is really a bit pitiful.
But now that it has come to this, shirking responsibility does not fit the loving and helpful image that he has painstakingly created recently.
He pondered inwardly:
"Detectives and the church are at odds. If we don't provoke them, we will be in trouble sooner or later.
Why not take the initiative? Maybe there will be a surprise."
Thinking so,
Su Mali raised her eyes, passed Mia, and met Maggie's expectant eyes:
"Maggie, your commission,
Gray Pigeon Detective Agency has accepted it."
The next step is much simpler.
According to the established process, Maggie, as the client, issued a commission to the detective agency.
Commission content: Go to the Red Pine Forest Church and rescue the slandered Daley Field.
Commission reward...
When Maggie awkwardly searched her pockets and took out a dozen coins,
Su Mali symbolically pinched 1 penny from them.
Helping people solve problems without charging money is called a good thing.
It is considered a commission only after receiving the money.
Promising to set off early tomorrow morning, Qin Nuo found a lame excuse that he might encounter bad guys on the road and escorted Maggie and Mia away.
On the way, he quietly slipped a 10-pound note to Maggie.
If someone can't stand Qin Nuo, who is always poor and wants to break a dollar into two petals, it means that person is really miserable.
In Maggie's many thanks and the admiring eyes of the poster girl,
the two sides waved goodbye and went away in opposite directions.
