Chapter 284 The archbishop who came to report

Lake didn't lie, he really had L's phone number.

Of course.

Not now, but, as a high-ranking federal official, it is still very easy for Lake to find L's current phone number.

That night.

Lake obtained L's current information from the Red Queen, but, looking at the information in his hand, Lake suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether he should type it or not.

L is married.

Of course.

Al Greenow's marriage was not the point. Lake didn't care about his body. What he valued was Al's talent in the criminal field.

Lake also already knew the reason for Al's resignation from Allen.

In one case, when everyone was about to lose the suspect, Al found the suspect. Then, the scene was deemed to be self-defense, but if that was the case, Al would not have been involved in this case. After the case chose to leave.

Of course.

This is not the point.

Al has now changed his name and surname. He is no longer called Al Greenover, but Polly Hinton, and he lives in Seattle.

There are only two reasons for changing the name and surname.

The first one, in order to escape the pursuit of some kind of existence.

Second, start your own life anew.

There is no doubt that L, who changed his name from Al to Polly Hinton, belongs to the second type, restarting his life.

Lake ordered the table.

after awhile.

Lake sighed and gave up the idea of ​​a phone call.

Seattle is quite close to the town of Forks, and Lake is thinking, the next time he goes to Fox to see his little padded jacket, he will pass by Seattle and have a closer look at L, before deciding whether to extend an invitation to L.

"Ding dong!"

"……coming."

Skye, who was watching TV in the living room downstairs, heard the doorbell, first glanced at the person outside the door displayed on the videophone, let out a cry of surprise, and yelled at Lake upstairs.

Lake raised his eyebrows and walked out.

Skye and Karen hugged each other, walked to the living room, looked at Lake who came down and smiled, "Lake, look who's here."

Lake went down and hugged Karen: "Why don't you tell me in advance, I'll pick you up at the airport."

Lake was very surprised by Karen's arrival. Karen had also been to New York before, but she always called Lake in advance, but this time she directly launched a surprise attack.

Fortunately, the family has a daughter who has just grown up.

Fortunately, the housekeeping staff just came to clean the house yesterday. If Skye wasn't here and the housekeeping staff didn't come, Karen would probably be rambling about the living environment here when she walked in.

After Karen kissed Lake on the forehead, she let go and glanced at Lake: "I'm not old enough to need someone to pick me up at the airport."

Lake shrugged: "Where's Betty?"

"Paris."

"Not coming back."

"No, besides, I decided to come to New York only temporarily."

Lake heard this, thought for a while, and looked at Karen: "Is it because of tomorrow's speech in New York by the Cardinal and Mr. President?"

Karen nodded: "Yes, and no."

Lake was confused.

the next day.

Although New York City has not entered a state of alert throughout the city, the closer it is to Long Island, the more clearly there are many plainclothes policemen here.

In a five-star hotel near Long Island.

in the elevator.

Lake put away his ID, and said to Karen curiously: "I don't seem to have heard you mention that you and this Archbishop of Sobia are friends."

Karen looked at Lake: "You forgot, your sister's baptism was carried out by Archbishop Sobia, but Archbishop Sobia was not an archbishop at that time."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

next second.

After flipping through his memory, Lake said to Karen, "You probably made a mistake. I didn't go to Betty's baptism. I caught a cold that day and I was in the hospital."

Karen frowned: "Really?"

Lake nodded.

He just said it.

According to his memory, people who have seen it, under normal circumstances, would never forget it. When Betty was baptized, Lake overestimated his physical fitness and caused him to be hospitalized for the first time in history.

If I remember correctly...

That should be Betty just turned one month.

and……

After Lake recovered from that illness, he was always puzzled about his illness. In his memory, that little cold almost killed him.

Fortunately, Lake survived. When he thought about it afterwards, Lake somehow thought of the word "sacrifice".

Ding!
The elevator opens.

On the floor of the red-clothed archbishop Sobia, after getting out of the elevator, the bodyguards in charge of this floor were replaced by the Knights Templar assigned by the Vatican to our bishop.

Holy.

cure.

brave.

Karen came here on the special plane of Archbishop Sobia, so these Templars knew Karen, but after checking Lake's ID, they led the two towards the archbishop's room.

Lake absorbs these free holiness, healing and bravery.

It is different from plundering the darkness. After the plundered darkness is absorbed by the force seeds, almost 90.00% of them are used to expand the root system of the force seeds.

But these holiness, healing and bravery, after being absorbed by the seeds of force, act on the sprouts that break out of the seeds of force.

It's amazing.

Lake thought in this way, restraining the desire to let go of the Force Seeds. The Vatican is not the same as hell. Hell is fine. If you take the Vatican...

Uh.

Actually nothing happened.

But you can't use your body to do this, at least not right now, not cowardly is not brainless, reckless is not brainless.

soon.

After entering the cardinal's room, Karen and the cardinal embraced, and then their eyes fell on Lake.

"Director Edwin."

"……bishop."

Lake looked at the right hand handed over by Bishop Sobia, and after shaking it, he went straight to the business: "Bishop, my mother said, do you want to see me?"

That's why Lake came here in the morning.

but……

Lake was still confused, why did the bishop of the Vatican want to see him? Could it be that my identity as the spokesman for love and justice was discovered?

The Archbishop of Sobia is probably close to 70 years old, but, judging from his appearance, he can be described as a childish face with white hair.

Regarding Lake's question, Archbishop Sobia nodded, but did not immediately explain, but first invited Lake and Karen to sit on the sofa in the reception room.

after awhile.

Archbishop Sobia also came out of his bedroom, and after sitting on the sofa, he looked at Lake: "Director Edwin, I understand that you are the director of the New York State Department of Homeland Security, and you are also the director of the Department of Homeland Security. Deputy Chief of Operations, is that so?"

Lake nodded.

This is information on the surface, and anyone with access to the Internet can see it. However, in addition to his title of New York State GHS Director and GHS Deputy Director of Operations, he also has the title of Director of the Paranormal Activity Detection and Operations Bureau.

Karen's phone rang at this moment. After taking out the phone, she smiled apologetically, and said to Lake, "It's your father's. I'll go out and answer the phone."

Lake smiled.

Karen after going out.

Archbishop Sobia said: "I want to report the crime."

Lake was slightly taken aback: "What?"

What the hell?

When a cardinal in Vatican met with a federal executive like him, the first thing he said was to report the crime?

What an international joke.

Lake returned to his senses, and looked at Archbishop Sobia apologetically: "Sorry, Archbishop, I am from the Department of Homeland Security, not the CIA, unless what you said is suspected of endangering federal homeland security."

Archbishop Sobia said directly: "There are people from the Federation overseas who willfully massacre civilians and bury the truth for their own interests. Does this count as endangering the security of the Federation?"

Lake opened his mouth, and then looked at Archbishop Sobia again: "This kind of thing is difficult to define, for example, I have to ask, Archbishop, do you have evidence?"

Sobia took the information from a personal bodyguard next to him, and then handed it to Lake.

Lake opened the file after receiving it.

Shocking photos were printed in Lake's eyes.

Judging from the content of the photos, it can be seen that these corpses are all civilians. If there is any difference, they are all black in color.

Then there's the bullet report.

Judging from the bullet report, most of them are standard bullets of the federal military.

but……

This proves nothing.

Turn over again.

A section of oil pipeline appears in the photo.

Lake raised his eyebrows and looked up at Cardinal Sobia.

quite a while.

Lake frowned, and closed the documents: "Archbishop, I have to ask, why are you looking for me?"

What the archbishop in red wanted to say was actually very simple, and Lake already knew it after seeing those photos.

The federal military massacred civilians in a village for an oil pipeline, perhaps because the village didn't want the oil pipeline to pass by them.

Can……

What happens in Africa is none of my business, about DHS?

Archbishop Sobia explained to Lake's question: "I have seen the necklace around your mother's neck."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

Karen looked down at the cross necklace that Lake gave her and told her to wear it all the time.

Ankh of rebirth.

[Ankh of Rebirth: Objects, SSR-level, mysterious, the person who holds this item can be resurrected within 5 minutes after death, and the body will return to its best condition. 】

Sobia looked at Lake: "I can feel the holiness on this ankh and your concern for Karen."

Lake was unmoved and shook his head: "That's not a reason."

It was the military that did it.

Pipelines belong to Wall Street.

It was obvious that this was a premeditated case, and Lake was not interested in upholding justice for a group of little blacks, especially a group of dead little blacks.

I'm not a virgin and I don't have that African time.

Lake said directly: "In this case, neither the federal people died nor the evidence showed that it endangered national security. I'm sorry, but I really don't understand why the archbishop is looking for me?"
