"Don't!"

Wang Tao just put his hand on the mask of one of the deputy mayors, and the deputy mayor subconsciously spoke out.

Wang Tao stopped what he was doing. He looked at the deputy mayor with interest, wanting to see what he had to say.

The deputy mayor was thinking crazily in his mind. He has been caught now. No matter who catches him, there is a high probability that he will be finished.

But if he doesn't reveal his true identity, there is still a chance, but if his identity as the deputy mayor is revealed, then his last chance is gone!

"If you let me go, I'll give you money, I'll give you a lot of money!"

The deputy mayor spoke quickly.

When he heard this, Wang Tao immediately looked at him as if he were a fool.

Even if you are a deputy mayor, but you are only a first-level superpower, how much money can you have? Still want to bribe a fourth-level awakener?

To put it bluntly, even if he is corrupt, he may not make money as fast as Wang Tao.

The deputy mayor obviously couldn't see Wang Tao's strength. After all, he was too weak. But Commissioner Zhu Fen and the other two third-level superpowers could see it - not necessarily because they were not sure about Wang Tao's strength. Real strength, but Wang Tao can defeat the third-level superpower like a crusher, then this is obviously the fourth-level awakened person.

So Zhu Fen made a "whimpering" sound and burst into tears.

Jiang Shixue used a thick wooden stick to fill her mouth, making her unable to speak.

Wang Tao saw this and asked Jiang Shixue to pull out the stick.

"Ahem——"

Zhu Fen coughed violently for a while, and all she coughed up was blood foam. But she couldn't care so much anymore, so she could only say with some difficulty:

"Ahem, if you let us go, I can give you a large amount of holy medicine, crystal coins, and crystal nuclei..."

Zhu Fen also promised a lot of benefits, but unlike the deputy mayor, she was not a deacon, but a priest, so the credibility of her words might be higher?

Wang Tao wanted to see if they could say something that interested him. These bribes were obviously not what Wang Tao was interested in.

So Wang Tao ignored Zhu Fen's words and took off their masks.

Although Zhu Fen is a committee member, he is very capable. But at this time, she was also panicking and didn't know what to do.

But just when Wang Tao's hand touched the mask of one of them, Wang Tao suddenly stopped on his own initiative.

"I was commissioned by others to investigate the cause of Yao Guodong's death..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Tao could clearly see that Zhu Fen and others subconsciously glanced at the two deputy mayors, and could see the anger in their eyes.

The two deputy mayors shrank their necks, and they suddenly regretted it.

Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised. Looking at their subconscious expressions, Wang Tao probably came up with a guess - Yao Guodong was killed by the two deputy mayors, and Zhu Fen might not have known about it at first, or he might have known about it but didn't have time to stop it. Otherwise they wouldn't have this expression.

But that's not important. What's important is to find the murderer and find the Twilight Church.

"But during the investigation, I accidentally discovered the Church of Dusk. This made me very interested..."

The anger in Zhu Fen's eyes became even stronger. She hated these two deputy mayors.

As Wang Tao guessed, Yao Guodong's death was caused by the two deputy mayors, and she was not aware of it at the time.

If she was in charge of this matter, she would definitely not be able to do it like this, at least not in such a hurry. Although there seemed to be no loopholes in the scene of Yao Guodong's death, his death was so strange that everyone was not stupid and must have suspected homicide. So we will definitely investigate in the future.

Zhu Fen was afraid that someone could find out about the Twilight Church. Although she also felt that it was unlikely, what if it happened? - As a result, this "what if" really came!

Now she wanted to kill these two idiots with her own hands. If it weren't for them, the Church of Dusk would not have been exposed, and she would not have ended up in this situation.

But the man in front of him said that he was entrusted to investigate. Since it was an entrustment, the client must have paid the price. In other words, he is here for profit! So if I can afford a heart-warming interest, can I let him change his client?

Zhu Fen suddenly felt that she still had a glimmer of hope!

At this time, Wang Tao spoke again:

"I didn't expect the Church of Dusk to be like this. It's very interesting... But I'm curious, who are you?"

Although several people couldn't see through Wang Tao's mask, they could still feel the playful look in his eyes.

"But before I figure out your identities, I'm curious about how you killed Yao Guodong... So, I'll give you a chance to tell me how you killed Yao Guodong, and maybe I'll let you go when I'm in a good mood. "

Wang Tao continued.

"Let us go?"

After hearing this, the deputy mayor and others obviously didn't believe it. They are already fish on the sticky board. Will Wang Tao let them go?

Zhu Fen's eyes flickered, she thought it was possible! After all, Wang Tao was entrusted to come here, not because Wang Tao wanted to come by himself! I just don’t know what Wang Tao likes. The fourth-level awakened person is obviously not short of money, or the club is not short of small money...

While Zhu Fen was thinking, Wang Tao continued:

"Believe it or not, if I find out how Yao Guodong died, my goal will be achieved. Theoretically, I can go back to deliver my work. But I didn't expect to catch a big fish, so... it depends on your performance."

After Wang Tao finished speaking, several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say, mainly because they were not sure what Wang Tao was thinking.

But Zhu Fen decided to believe Wang Tao - she had to believe it. If she believed it, she might still have a chance. If she didn't believe it, if her mask was taken off and her appearance was completely exposed to everyone, then she would really be doomed!

"I said!"

Zhu Fen spoke immediately.

Although she was not involved in the assassination of Yao Guodong, the two deputy mayors reported to her afterwards, so she knew the detailed process.

Since she is not the murderer, even if she is really punished, it will not be her turn. So there was no pressure on her to say it.

But the two deputy mayors cursed in their hearts.

They are the masterminds. If this matter is revealed, even if Wang Tao is willing to let them go, he will never let them go. Even if he lets them go, they will still be caught later!

"Wise choice."

Wang Tao's tone was very satisfied.

"I know it too!"

"I said so too!"

The third-level bodyguard and the third-level official also spoke quickly.

Who doesn’t want to live if they can survive?

Now the two deputy mayors felt even more uncomfortable. Everyone dared to say it, but they didn't dare to say it!

But Wang Tao knew that they might be the murderers, and what the murderer said in person must be somewhat different from the bystanders. So Wang Tao said again:

"Since you all know, then come here one by one! If I find that your statements are inconsistent... then I'm sorry, you may not have a chance to be tried."

Wang Tao glanced at several people. His fourth-level awakened man's aura blossomed for the first time, and several people suddenly felt chills running down their spines.

"Let's start with you two."

Wang Tao pointed to one of the deputy mayors.

The two deputy mayors were confused. They didn't say they knew. Why did they start from themselves? But looking at Wang Tao's eyes, they had no doubt that Wang Tao might really kill them! After all, for the awakened, their strength at this level is no different from that of ants...

There's nothing you can do about it. If you tell me, you might die later, but if you don't, you might die now!

Therefore, these two people could only confess honestly.

In order to prevent them from colluding in the confession, Wang Tao deliberately brought them all into the room to ensure that they could not hear what others said. In this case, in order to avoid telling the truth differently from others, they could only tell the truth.

So, these people honestly told the story of Yao Guodong's assassination, including that the initiators were the two deputy mayors. However, these people were also thieves. When Wang Tao did not take off their masks, they did not directly tell Wang Tao that the two deacons were the deputy mayors. They were still thinking about what would happen. If Wang Tao really let them go, even if the deputy mayor was wanted later, it would be better than being arrested now.

After listening to what they said, Wang Tao nodded immediately. This matter is similar to what he speculated...

The reason why these two deputy mayors killed Yao Guodong was because Yao Guodong became a superpower!

Yao Guodong has strong personal abilities, but he is old and was going to retire. Yao Guodong has retired, and they are the ones competing for deputy mayor. The two deputy mayors are both members of the Twilight Church, and they know each other's identities, so if the two of them work together, they will definitely be raped by the other deputy mayor, so the mayor's position belongs to them.

But they didn't expect that Yao Guodong would become a superpower. Then this is troublesome. Because his health will get better after becoming a superpower, Yao Guodong can retire later. And if Yao Guodong doesn't retire, they will never have a chance to rise to the top. So they chose to take action, and while Yao Guodong was not strong yet, they quickly killed Yao Guodong!

So, they contacted another deacon, the third-level deacon who gave Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen the holy medicine.

The deacon was willing to help after they paid some price. However, he was not directly involved. He was trying to get Qiu Rong to give Yao Guodong the holy medicine and then lure Yao Guodong out. What will happen to Yao Guodong after he leaves is none of his business.

So, the two deputy mayors found a killer - yes, there is a profession of killer in Changhe Base, but this profession can only be found in the black market and is very secretive.

They found a killer who was said to be low in strength but very capable of assassination. After they paid some crystal coins, the killer took over the task and succeeded.

What happened next was what Wang Tao saw at the scene...

"In other words, you don't know who this killer is?"

Wang Tao frowned.

"have no idea……"

Zhu Fen shook her head quickly.

She was the last one to be asked. She didn't dare to tell any lies. She really didn't know.

Wang Tao was a little speechless. Although he could catch the mastermind behind the scenes, it was a bit regretful to catch the murderer who did it. But...it doesn't matter. The rest is left to the police station and city hall to investigate. Anyway, he has done them a big favor by catching the two deputy mayors personally.

"Okay, assuming you barely pass, I have one last question. If you answer it to my satisfaction, I'll let you go."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"...Do you keep your word?"

Zhu Fen's face didn't look good.

"You have no choice but to believe me. And I said, I was just entrusted by someone. Now that the entrustment has been completed, I can leave at any time. I have no grudge against you, I am just curious..."

Wang Tao said in a hurry.

"Then ask!"

Zhu Fen gritted her teeth. She didn't want to die. She had to seize the opportunity.

"Very well, tell me about this holy medicine and everything about your Dusky Church."

"you--"

Zhu Fen could probably predict what Wang Tao wanted to ask, but after hearing it, he still didn't want to answer.

"You only have one chance. If you don't say anything, others will. If I find that you are useless, then you can think about the consequences yourself."

"..."

Zhu Fen struggled for a long time and finally decided to say it. No matter what, your own life is the most important.

"Twilight Church..."

In several other rooms, Jiang Shixue and the others were also asking questions.

Wang Tao's mental power can detect the past, so he can also see the content of their questions. Several people can ask questions at the same time, which can save a lot of time. At most, it makes Wang Tao's head feel a little swollen. After all, this has been used for many times...

After spending some time, Zhu Fen and the others talked about everything related to the Holy Medicine and the Twilight Church.

Wang Tao finally had some understanding of the Twilight Church.

The Church of Twilight is highly hierarchical and currently has four levels.

The lowest are "ordinary believers", such as Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen. They have not yet truly joined the church, so they do not count as a level.

As long as they develop three believers, they can officially join the church and become "devout believers."

Devout believers are the lowest level in the church. If they perform well, they can be promoted to "deacons." It's the deputy mayor and the others.

Above the deacons is the "priest". According to Zhu Fen, she is currently the only priest in the entire Changhe base.

But she wasn't very sure, because their Twilight Church had rules and couldn't inquire about other people's identities.

Under normal circumstances, only their superiors will know their identities. For example, the deputy mayor and others are all Zhu Fen's superiors. Zhu Fen knows their true identities, but they do not know Zhu Fen's identity.

So if there are really other priests, Zhu Fen may not know about it, unless it is the highest-ranking person above the priests - the bishop.

She was very sure that there was no bishop in Changhe Base, because when she contacted the bishop, she always went out to contact him. But she didn’t know if there were other priests...

"Bishops, priests, deacons, believers..."

Wang Tao feels that this church is very big!

Moreover, even committee member Zhu Fen is just a priest... Then who is this bishop?
