Father Mavie

Chapter 48 Funeral
"What? You said that Levin Boger didn't go back to the hotel last night?"

At 8 o'clock in the morning, in the Church of Truth, Ma Wei, who was cleaning the statue, turned around and looked at Xiao Hei below in surprise.

"Yeah!" Xiao Hei nodded, and said quickly: "At first, I thought he went to a member's room to do bad things, so I didn't dare to act rashly, but I didn't see him back until morning. It made me terrified, but fortunately, the cat he raised knew everything, and once threatened by me, he recruited them all!"

Ma Wei slid down the ladder, put the mop in his hand aside, sat on the bench, picked up Xiao Hei, and asked, "You really succeeded?"

"That is!"

Xiao Hei raised his head, and said triumphantly: "Anyway, Xiao Hei, I was also a meow who crawled around on the street back then!"

"Although it's quite a failure, it's not because of me! It's Ah Hua and the others who are xenophobic!"

"Back when you were beaten to death by other cats and you were about to die, it was Fat Ju who picked you up, otherwise you would have died on the street long ago, okay?"

"I was still young then."

"Get down to business first! What information did you ask Friday?"

Xiao Hei looked around, climbed onto Ma Wei's shoulder, and whispered, "Levin Bojie is actually."

After a few minutes
"Ah."

After listening to Xiao Hei's words, Ma Wei grinned and couldn't help but sneer.

The circus show ends at 10 o'clock in the evening, and Levin Boger doesn't go back to his room to sleep so late, it's not like he has a date with a beautiful lady...

He had already been with Mavi and Holmes for a long time.

"It really looks like it"

Ma Wei said with emotion: "This game, so it started yesterday morning Xiao Hei, you did a good job, what reward do you want?"

"I want a book!"

"Book?"

Ma Wei looked at it in disbelief, suspecting that he had heard it wrong: "Do you want to read a book?"

"That's right! Xiao Hei, I am also a lucky cat who has been blessed by the goddess. I belong to one of the founders of the Church of Truth. I will be the archbishop in the future! How can I be a brainless idiot?"

Founder. I haven't written the horoscope yet, I'm still just a priest, and you are already planning to become an archbishop.
Ma Wei smiled and shook his head: "I promise you, what book do you want to read?"

"Anthology of Shakespeare!"

"Okay, I'll buy it for you later, but don't let your guard down, keep letting the cats stare at the hotel and the circus, and let me know as soon as there is any situation."

"Understood meow!"

After Xiao Hei left, Ma Wei cleaned up the rest of the bathroom, entered the small room on the side of the statue, picked up a black silk shawl, and put it on his body.

After breakfast, Junia, who had just finished brushing her teeth, came down from the stairs, and happened to see Ma Wei changing clothes, so she couldn't help asking, "Dad, are you going out?"

"Well, officiate at the funeral," said Marvie.

The curse has killed many people, including many believers in the Church of Truth. As a priest, Ma Wei is going to proclaim the gospel and rest the souls of believers. This is also one of his daily tasks.

"Can Junia follow?"

"Of course, go and change."

"Ok!"

The rain that had been brewing for a long time finally fell, pattering on the coffins in the pit, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the wind was strong.

Ma Wei stood in front of the pit, without an umbrella or hat, letting the cold rain pour on his face, his robe fluttering in the wind, with a solemn expression, looking ahead, and praying aloud: "He is a qualified Husband, a kind and kind father, and also our sincere and dear friend, when he is gone, his soul will be at rest, the truth will always be by his side, pain will no longer disturb him, everything will become peaceful, there will be no more disputes, disease."

Around, the family members were dressed in black and wore black tulle on their heads. They were out of breath from crying and fainted several times.

"May the Goddess forgive you as you forgive others.

Man comes from the dust and returns to the dust.

May your soul always be with the goddess, eternal peace"

After the prayer was finished, Ma Wei bent down, picked up some dust, and sprinkled it on the coffin. Afterwards, the workers standing on both sides waved their shovels and buried the coffin.

"My condolences, Mrs. Salton."

Ma Wei came to the family and said softly: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can seek help from the Church of Truth. This is the goddess' promise to believers, and it is also something I firmly believe in."

"Thank you. Thank you. Father"

Mrs. Salton broke down in tears, crying into tears, clutching Marvie's palm tightly, not knowing how to express her gratitude.

After presiding over several funerals in a row, Mavi was already exhausted, but he knew it was not time to rest, because a four-wheeled carriage with the words 'Ross Police Department' engraved on the carriage was waiting for him not far away.

Inspector McMillan was standing beside the carriage, holding a black umbrella, water droplets falling in a line, the red fire in the carriage flickered on and off, and a pair of gray eyes were watching him through the glass.

Saying goodbye to the family members, Ma Wei took Junia and walked over quickly. Inspector McMillan opened the car door himself. After they entered the car, he closed the umbrella and bent over to follow.

"The damn weather!"

The umbrella was hanging by the door, and Macmillan complained while shaking the rain from his boots: "There has been no movement for the past two days, and it has to wait until today for it to rain!"

Holmes took out a few pieces of chocolate from his pocket and handed them to Mavie and Macmillan: "Why do you preside over the funeral in this weather? Eat it to warm your body."

"No way, the family members have set the date of burial the day before yesterday." Ma Wei took the chocolate and handed it to Junia, a little helplessly said: "It's just too unlucky, it started to rain as soon as we arrived at the cemetery outside the city, and the coffin It’s already been put down, so you can’t pick it up and bring it back!”

"It's true, no one feels uncomfortable when encountering such a thing." Inspector McMillan didn't take the chocolate, but took out a small silver tin can from his arms, unscrewed the mouth of the bottle, and took a sip with his head up. : "When it's raining, you should drink brandy to keep out the cold! Father, would you like some?"

"Thank you, I don't drink."

Ma Wei glanced at him: "I think you should eat some chocolate."

"Why?" Macmillan was a little puzzled.

"Suppress the smell of alcohol in your mouth, if Baron Bill smells it... I don't know how to get angry."

"A little wine is fine! It's all about relieving stress!"

"The priest is right. You really should eat some chocolate." Holmes said suddenly: "If, I mean, if the rose thief stole the blood rose, then Baron Bill will find someone to take the blame. The priest and I belong to the non-staff. Personnel, friendly help does not take responsibility, and you, McMillan... definitely bear the brunt."

"In this case, if you still smell of alcohol, then all the blame will fall on your head."

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and McMillan grabbed the chocolate, took a bite viciously, and muttered, "You won't let the rose monster steal the blood rose, right? I still want to be promoted to the headquarters."

"Who knows?"

Holmes and Ma Wei looked at each other, and said solemnly, "He is not an ordinary person."
