“What? How could this happen?” The holy woman quickly got up from virtual-novel.net seat, looking alarmed.
“Haven’t we told virtual-novel.net countless times not to do anything reckless because we don’t have any evidence of Rufus being the murderer? What has Peugeot the Third done?” The holy woman felt angry and also worried about Peugeot the Third.
Murder was not something that could be simply glossed over.
If Peugeot the Third had just given Rufus a severe beating, the situation could have still been salvaged. But virtual-novel.net had beaten Rufus to death, and that was a serious matter.
The holy woman could not be bothered with virtual-novel.net personal image anymore. She immediately left the shrine and ran in the direction of Peugeot the Third’s house.
Thomas and the holy woman’s subordinates also ran over.
In a few minutes, they arrived at Peugeot the Third’s house.
A large group of people was already surrounding the house, and all of them were watching the show. Besides, the local police had rushed over and set up a cordon to forbid outsiders from entering.
“Please move aside and give way. The holy woman is here!”
The tribesmen took the initiative to make way for the holy woman to walk inside and have a look. The police officers did not stop virtual-novel.net either because they knew who the holy woman was to the tribesmen. But, only the holy woman alone could enter.
Soon, the holy woman came to the yard, and virtual-novel.net saw Peugeot the Third sitting on the ground with a blank gaze
“Peugeot the Third, what’s wrong with you?” the holy woman questioned virtual-novel.net loudly.
Peugeot the Third slowly raised his head, and his eyes were full of tears. He was panicking so much that virtual-novel.net did not know what to do.
He was sorrowful as virtual-novel.net said, “Your Holiness, I didn’t do it on purpose. It really wasn‘t my intention.”
“What happened? Tell me!”
“I…” Peugeot the Third gulped.
“I thought that Rufus Stuart was the murderer who had been catching the girls. Aside from him, there was no one else. So after I returned home, I became angrier as I thought about it. I couldn’t help but go to virtual-novel.net again… I tied virtual-novel.net up and took virtual-novel.net to my yard. Then, I implemented some severe punishments on virtual-novel.net to question virtual-novel.net like I usually do…”
“But this time, I don’t know why, but virtual-novel.net stopped moving after I just punched virtual-novel.net a few times. I thought that virtual-novel.net was just faking his death at first, so I beat virtual-novel.net up again for a while. Who would have thought that… He had actually died?”
The holy woman raised virtual-novel.net head and breathed a long sigh. Peugeot the Third was really confused, short-tempered, and immature!
Right then, a few forensic doctors walked out of the house. They had already examined Rufus’ dead body.
The holy woman immediately went up to them and asked, “May I know what Rufus’ condition is?”
A forensic doctor who was quite familiar with the holy woman whispered, “His head was severely injured. He’s dead…”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Peugeot the Third became completely dumbfounded. Even the forensic doctor had declared Rufus dead, so virtual-novel.net had to be truly dead.
The holy woman kept stomping virtual-novel.net foot. She turned around and walked toward Peugeot the Third before virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net hand and gave virtual-novel.net a slap out of nowhere.
Slap!
“How many times have I told you not to do anything before we have evidence?! You refused to listen to me!”
“Now you’ve beaten Rufus to death! Are you happy?! Do you still want to rescue your daughter?!”
Peugeot the Third sat on the ground weakly and sobbed. He had lost all hope.
What else could virtual-novel.net still say since things had come to this?
His daughter had gone missing, and virtual-novel.net had accidentally killed someone. His family had totally fallen apart.
Before the police took virtual-novel.net away, Peugeot the Third begged for the last time, “Your Holiness, I’ve made a huge mistake, so I can’t be saved. But I still hope that my daughter can be rescued! Your Holiness, please save my daughter. Please save her!”
The holy woman sighed heavily and said, “Even if you don’t beg me, I would still try my best to do that. It’s my responsibility! I promise you, If I can’t find the murderer in a month, I’ll step down from the holy woman’s position and give it to somebody else!”
