The black attendant behind Parma is named Devin Bennett. His identity is very special. First of all, he is a black man. Although racial discrimination is also a red line in the church, the fact is that very few black people will serve in the Catholic Vatican headquarters. , Devin Bennett is an exception. He is a child adopted by the current Pope Benedict XVI when he was missionary in Africa. He was once a child soldier. The so-called child soldiers are warlords in war-prone areas in order to ensure He has enough soldiers, but kidnapping forces some underage children to pick up guns and go to the battlefield.

In order to control these child soldiers, these warlords will use drugs to corrupt them. There are even some more inhumane warlords, in order to ensure that the child soldiers can be absolutely obedient, they will also ask the child soldiers to kill their parents. If they hesitate or If you refuse, you will be shot immediately!

Devin Bennett is such a child soldier. He came to the Congo and was forcibly recruited as a child soldier by the local warlord when he was six years old. It was also in that year that after a short period of training and brainwashing, he was trained by an officer. At his request, he killed his parents. After that, the six-year-old child started his "military career". He himself didn't remember how many people he killed. Anyway, at that time, some people started calling him a devil. People thought that this child was born to be a murderer. It is the incarnation of the devil in the world.

Until 1997, when Benedict XVI had not yet become pope, he went to Africa to preach and met the ten-year-old Devin Bennett. At that time, Devin Bennett was defeated because of the warlord's forces he belonged to, and he himself was captured. Benedict XVI was full of pity for this child with a miserable life experience and a cruel personality.

Benedict XVI asked to adopt the child despite the objections of others. He doesn't think this child is a demon, the real demons are those who turned him into this!

Devin Bennett has been following Benedict XVI ever since.

And Benedict XVI is indeed a true priest. Although his thinking is extremely conservative, he is kind and has a very charming personality. He treats Bennett as a parent and son. Under his care and education, many people in the class have grown up. Te gradually returned to a normal life and completed theology He studied and became a real priest, and then followed Benedict XVI to the Vatican. He first started as a papal attendant, and step by step reached the position of papal external security officer. He became the spokesperson of the papal will and began to deepen Get in touch with things in the Holy See.

This time, he came to Chicago with the Bishop of Parma, and also acted as the spokesperson of the Pope's will. He participated in the entire process and tried to ensure that this scandal did not affect the image of the entire Catholic Church.

So when Parma was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, Bennett took the initiative and took over the power of negotiation.

Kai looked at the black priest. Although he didn't know his identity, he was able to negotiate directly with him over a bishop on this occasion. Obviously his status was not low.

“We, the Chicago police, are not interested in Catholic scandals unless you are caught molesting an underage child by me. →”

Bennett was also helpless when faced with Kai making fun of the scandal in their church. But he won't be angry because of this matter. After all, there are already many such voices in the outside world.

"I can understand that, so...what are you going to get from us? Money? Power? Or something else, I think we can all talk about it."

Originally, negotiations between decent people should not be so naked, but Bennett could see that the policeman in front of him was different from ordinary people. Furthermore, Bennett was different from ordinary priests. The environment is the law of the jungle, and unnecessary covering up will only waste time.

"No, I'm not interested in those things. What I want is cooperation!"

"Cooperation?" Bennett wondered at the word. What could a policeman and a church cooperate with? When preaching, do you help promote the construction of the legal system?

Kai took out another piece of information.

"This is the detailed information of the cult that Billy Lee Tuttle believed in. This cult has been developed in Illinois since the 1960s. What is more interesting is that they have been wearing Covered in Christianity, the founder of these cults, Sam Tuttle, also It was Billy Lee Tuttle's father, who was a member of the Southern Baptist Convention. He later converted to Catholicism and became a Catholic priest in Chicago. He was later promoted to bishop, assistant bishop, and diocesan bishop. In other words, this cult has always been used. Use your Catholic resources to strengthen yourself!”

A bunch of church staff looked livid... They were actually being tricked into looking like this. Both father and son took them as their main scapegoat.

"No matter how much you deny it, you are all responsible for the crimes committed by this cult in Illinois!"

This is taking the moral high ground, although it may not be useful. As long as any profession is developed to the extreme, it will actually break away from itself and become a politician. This is the case for policemen and the same is true for priests. Do politicians care about the moral high ground?

Have you seen it?

But something is better than nothing.

"Now, we need to eradicate this cult, so you should also shoulder your responsibilities!"

Bennett pondered for a few seconds before asking carefully: "I don't know, what is your so-called responsibility..."

"This cult has been able to develop until now and has not been eradicated because they have a huge protection network! This includes many officials and politicians, and what you need to do is to mobilize your political power to help us eliminate interference!"

This is Kai's main purpose. They are not afraid of killing people. But those umbrellas are a bit difficult to deal with. More importantly, they don't know who is the umbrella and who is the onlookers. →But this is not a difficult task for the Catholic Church.

The political power they contain is terrifying.

Kai's words made the scene very embarrassing, especially Director Cooper and the city council members who came with Palma. This is a naked mockery of them. But they are all very smart and didn't say anything. Cooper asked himself that he was very clean and had no contact with Billy Lee Tuttle. The same is true for that council member. He is a devout Catholic, otherwise the Vatican would not look for him.

Bennett refused without thinking.

"Impossible! We can't get involved in politics."

This is of course nonsense. Although the Vatican does not seem to interfere in other countries' politics, in fact, they definitely interfere a lot. For example, if a country or region introduces a policy that is not good for Catholicism, these guys will jump the most.

However, the Vatican has been standing for so many years, and naturally has its own set of ways to play. They can fan the flames and exert indirect influence, but they must never personally participate. And Kai's request is undoubtedly to let them personally participate.

This is very taboo.

The original North American immigrants were mainly some farmers who lost their land, workers with hard lives, and Puritans who were persecuted by religion. Therefore, religious freedom has always been the red line of the United States. They are particularly vigilant against religious persecution. It is also because of this that Catholics personally participate in the fight against the "King in Yellow" Church, which is very likely to arouse the disgust of the US government.

But Kai doesn't care about this. He just looks at Bennett quietly. Of course, he knew what Bennett said. This is the basic national policy of the United States. It is also because of this national policy that cult organizations in the United States are so popular. Many cults like to talk about this thing. Many cults are clearly known to the outside world as cults, but they are forced by this national policy and can't do anything about them.

But is the question really that simple? If Catholicism does not participate in politics, how do those priests who molest minors escape legal sanctions? If they do not participate in politics, how do they suppress so many lawsuits every year?

Kai believes that they definitely have a way!

If this does not work, Kai really dares to publish all the information and video materials.

Bennett obviously understands Kai's bottom line, and he will not give in.

"I need to make a call." In the end, Bennett gave in. There was no way, the impact was too bad. Compared with being disgusted by the US government, he still felt that publishing those things would cause greater harm to the church.

"Please, but I hope time can be faster."

About ten minutes later, Bennett appeared in front of Kai again. He considered his tone and said, "As far as I know, there is a prosecutor named Peter Stone in Chicago. He is now an assistant state prosecutor in Illinois. He is an absolutely honest and reliable prosecutor who hates evil and is unwavering in implementing the justice of the law. I think he will be interested in this case."

Kai raised his eyebrows. See, they will always find a way.

Don't look at the name of assistant state prosecutor. It looks like a small-time position, like a bag-carrying boy next to the prosecutor, but in fact this position has great power. The assistant state prosecutor is the bag-carrying boy.

...

Although the Catholic Church is very bureaucratic, they are surprisingly efficient in this matter.

The next day, Assistant State Attorney Peter Stone directly issued a search warrant and froze the Tuttle Foundation, and began to intervene in the investigation of the flow of funds and property distribution of the foundation.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Many politicians and officials began to lobby and question Peter Stone. Even the state prosecutor was puzzled by Peter Stone's action and hoped that Peter Stone could give a reasonable explanation.

But the young assistant state attorney managed to withstand the pressure. Of course, this was also related to the support of many politicians and officials. When Peter Stone launched an investigation into the Tuttle Foundation, the IRS suddenly issued a document to freeze all the funds of the foundation.

At the same time, the Chicago police and the FBI also launched an investigation into the fund.

So the two political forces began to fight politically around the foundation.

On the other hand, Kai, Matthew and others obtained the property and personnel details of the foundation. Not only that, they were also authorized to start a detailed investigation of the Tuttle family.

Unexpectedly, they soon noticed a suspicious point that had been ignored before.

When Matthew and Martin investigated the case that year, they got some testimony from the little girl who was rescued. 'Green ears' and 'Italian face'. At that time, they didn't care much, thinking it was the nonsense of the child after being frightened.

But when Martin took out the files from many years ago and the photos near the crime scene, he saw a house with green walls. The walls and the door looked a bit like a human face at first glance, and the green part just corresponded to the ears.

Then, they found out from the tax system that during the period of the crime, the owner of the house did paint the walls and there was a money transaction. And the little girl often played nearby at that time. The owner of the house was also questioned by the police, and the owner's testimony also mentioned a man with scars all over his chin.

Then when Martin continued to check the foundation's financial transactions through the tax system, he found the name of the company that helped the owner paint the walls again.

'Childress and Son' Decoration Company. According to the information, this company is a very small company, but it is responsible for the decoration of the school and parish of the entire Siyuan Project.

The legal representative of this company is named Billy Childress. This person can be said to have committed many crimes and has a lot of criminal records, including child abuse, indecency, wounding, arson, etc. But this is nothing. The really interesting surname of his wife is Tuttle.

His wife is the daughter of Sam Tuttle and the sister of Billy Lee Tuttle.

William Childress, the son of Billy Childress and grandson of Sam Tuttle in the Tuttle family, worked in that company, and it happened that William Childress's chin was covered with scars. That is to say, William Childress appeared at the scene.

Then Martin went a step further and cross-checked the time and location of all the missing cases with the tax records of the company, and found a very scary detail, that is, in the past ten years, at least 65 cases occurred when the company had business activities near the crime scene!

Many of them, William Childress was nearby, and his relationship with Tuttle basically confirmed this guy's suspicion!

…

After receiving this news, Kai did not do anything more, and immediately took Matthew, Martin and the Wen brothers to the registered address of the company! Regardless of whether this William Childress is a member of the cult organization, everyone feels that more clues can be found from him!

The company's registered address is not in Chicago, but in a small town about 300 kilometers away from Chicago. This town is hard to find on the map. It was originally an industrial supporting town formed during the prosperous period of Chicago. However, after the American manufacturing industry moved out, the residents moved away one after another, forming a ghost town with few people living in it.

The registered address is in a forest on the edge of the town, very far away from other houses in the town.

The house is almost surrounded by trees and bushes. If you don't look carefully, you may miss this shabby-looking cottage. The road leading to the cottage is covered with vines and weeds. There is no way to drive in. There is only a narrow path that can accommodate one person.

"Be careful, I feel very bad here!" After Sam got out of the car, he immediately felt a cold and decayed breath. He was very familiar with this feeling. He would have this feeling in places where wronged souls gathered and monsters were rampant.

Everyone dared not be careless and approached the house carefully. But after a few steps, Dean immediately asked everyone to stop. Then Dean pulled away the grass, and it was a human wreckage!

Dean didn't care that the remains were highly rotten, and he felt around for a few times. He said with a livid face, "Be careful, it was done by a werewolf!"

After a werewolf kills a human, it usually doesn't eat the whole body, they only eat the internal organs, so the wound characteristics are very obvious.

Kay and Matthew didn't have any special expressions, only Martin looked confused... Werewolf? Are you serious?
