[Leilu Modern AU] Scarlet World

After dismissing Claudia, Lester finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"She's really cute," Louie said with a smile.

"She's really a super freak."

"do not do that."

"She took care of your business and said she would give us an answer as soon as possible." Lester complained endlessly, "She has never been so enthusiastic about me... She never promises me any time. I urged her, she Just let me do it myself."

"Hey...listen, I'm glad, Lester," said Louie, "that your friends want to take me in."

"She just likes you, you are so beautiful, Louis," Lester's hand brushed Louis's face, and his thumb gently stroked on the cheek, "You must know that everyone will like you."

"Including you?"

"Especially me." Lester leaned his face closer and looked deeply at Louis, "So..."

Louis took a breath, slowly closed his eyes, and prepared for the next kiss.

"So... what was that recording in the end?"

Louis suddenly opened his eyes.

"Tell me, huh? ... Is there anything I can't ... hear?"

"...No, nothing."

"Really... nothing?"

Lester's face was getting closer and closer, and Louis could already feel the other's warm breath, and he was about to kiss him almost immediately.

"……real."

"You lied to me." Lester backed away suddenly.

The blond man sat aside, sullen, which suddenly made Louis feel in a dilemma.

"I'm sorry, Lester..." He looked closely into Lester's blue eyes seriously, with a slightly solemn tone of sincere apology, he couldn't do as flirtatiously as Lester and teasing, but he can substitute sincerity for skill, "I'm just...not ready. Give me a little more time?"

Having said that, Lester can probably guess that the content at the end of the recording is related to the relationship between the two of them, and it must be positively related.This instantly made him feel much better.He wasn't angry at first, he was just confused and then a little depressed because Louie had lied to him.

"Okay," Lester slowly approached the black-haired man, "Mr. Liar."

Mr. Liar gets a kiss.

……

Claudia's reply came two days later.

It started with a new message on Louie's cell phone.

[Louis, turn on your computers, I want to video with you. 】

When Lester and Louie met Claudia in front of the computer, they found the latter's expression very serious.

"What did you find?"

"Nothing was found."

"how is this possible?"

"I also want to ask, how is it possible? He is an innocent and good man. He is kind and generous...Well, he is kind and devout. The congregants who attended Mass at St. Bernard regarded him as a saint... Please, I don't believe that a person's background can be so clean. I spent some time checking it again, so I procrastinated for a day. I found it a little bit this time, but it's not good. I always feel that a person can't do it for no reason. Do something. I'll send you an email later."

"... Could it be that we are thinking too much?" Lester asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." Claudia said helplessly, "He doesn't go online at all, and there are no traces. I had to check his electronic accounts, insurance, bank cards, all normal consumption... Sorry, Louis."

"Claudia, I really appreciate your willingness to take the time to help."

"Then, you guys should check your mail first. If you need me, call me again."

……

As Claudia said, Charlie Commran seemed like a very nice guy through and through.

His hometown is in a small town a thousand kilometers away. His father was a blacksmith. He studied there, grew up, and never left. Then he became a local priest. At the age of 36, he on Fr.

At the age of 40, he left his hometown and came to York, one of the largest cities in the country.As for the reason, he didn't elaborate with anyone, but objectively it fits very well with the time of his father's death.The priest cannot marry, so he has no family and left his hometown alone.People speculated that he always wanted to leave home and go to the outside world for a while, but he couldn't leave because of his old father's instructions.

After he settled in York, he worked in St. Bernard's Church. He took over the post of priest of St. Bernard's Church more than ten years ago and has been working there ever since.

As for what people say about him, it's almost as good as it gets.Whether it's a neighbor in his hometown, or a friend in York City.Believers of St. Bernard's Church come here regularly for mass, and regard this event as the most important thing in life.Most of them believed that their faith in the Lord was so devout because they were influenced by Father Cameron.

In terms of private life, since priests are not allowed to marry, Father Comron has always remained single. No one has ever seen him interacting with any specific woman. If there is, it must be an upright Christian.He seemed to have given everything to God, not even desire.

In terms of materials, everyone said that Father Comron lived a very simple life. He used a lot of property to do good deeds and donated it to organizations such as various cancer foundations or the Women's and Children's Protection Association.He doesn't like extravagant clothing, he doesn't even smoke or drink alcohol. According to him, serving God has satisfied him, and he doesn't need to be greedy for material pleasures.Plus he's a vegetarian.

In addition, he maintains an old-fashioned style, does not go online at all, and there is no trace of his activities on the Internet, except for a few photos posted by others on social networks. He and the believers participated in the activities, with a kind face and a kind smile , I can't see why I turned it over and over again.

His online accounts are at a glance, insurance and bank cards.He bought serious illness insurance for himself, and the beneficiary is himself, but he asked that if he got the insurance money because of a serious illness but died before it could be used for medical treatment, his money would be donated.There is a small amount of deposits in his bank card, which can be called almost nothing for people like Lester and Louis, and the money has not been touched for many years, but occasionally some are deposited in it.

"He looked impeccable," Louie commented.

"Do you believe that perfection exists in this world?"

"I do not know."

"I do not believe."

Lester does not believe that there are perfect people in this world.An adult can be a good old man in the secular sense, no matter how generous and selfless, but decades of life are as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and there is nothing shady at all...

"That sounds incredible," Louie exclaimed.

There's nothing to say about Lester Drianco's shady professional life, but even a well-loved celebrity like Louis Pudula, young, rich, and good-natured, has had his share of back alleys in third-rate bars. The experience of having a whore give him oral sex.

"He's not a real saint..." said Lester, "just a good liar."

Louis went over the background of Father Comeron again.

"Come on," Lester patted Louis' knee, "There's nothing to see here, let's go see this priest again."

……

Erken Willis, deacon of St. Bernard's Church, looked at the blond young man.

He is very handsome, even a little too handsome, like a model star who lives in a pictorial or a movie, not like a person you can see in daily life.And, to be honest, he looked more like a wealthy young man who was involved in sex scandals than a devout Catholic.

But the sincerity on the young man's face really moved Elken.He couldn't help but blamed himself for judging people by their appearance. Could it be that a handsome young man who looked like a playboy couldn't be a faithful believer?If God does not dislike His children because of their ugly appearance, why should He question the piety of others because of their beautiful appearance?

"I understand your need for the priest's guidance, young man," Elkin replied, "but he has been on sick leave for several days."

"You said he hasn't come to work these days?"

"Yes, he seemed to have some kind of illness a few days ago. He sat on the chair and trembled. We were so frightened that we rushed him to the hospital. He has always been in poor health and has a slight high blood sugar. This poor old man is getting old. , may God bless him."

"It's such a pity. Is he okay now?... I respect Father Camron, he is my guide in my confused life. May God bless the world."

"Yes, boy, we visited him the day before yesterday, and he was lying in bed, a little weak, probably due to the change of weather these days, you know, the difference in temperature between morning and evening. He said he was much better. You can take a few days Come again."

"Thank you and may the Lord be with us."

The young man left with regret after resigning from Deacon Elken Willis. The latter did not see the joking expression of the other party turning his head, nor did he see the other party turning the corner and walking towards a black-haired man.

"I should have thought you were a believer."

"I take that as a compliment."

"Praise what?"

"Affirmation of my professional skills."

"Your disguise?"

"Yes."

"Well, you're good, Mr. Liar."

"Thank you."

"How is it over there?"

"It is said that he has asked for sick leave for several days."

"When did it start?"

"After we've been here."

"Um……"

"Very surprised?"

"A bit."

"It's also reasonable."

"Yes."

"Let's go to his house and have a look."

"it is good."

……

Louie rang the doorbell three times.No one opened the door.

While Lester was hesitant to break in now, Mrs. Mohd, Mrs. Comrun's neighbor, opened the door of her house.

"What are you doing, young man?" She poked her head out.

"Hello!" Louis greeted politely, "We're here to visit Father Camron."

"Oh...that poor old fellow."

"There doesn't seem to be anyone in the house. We've been to church and they say he's sick these days."

"Yes! He went to the hospital two days ago. I just met him. He said that the doctor advised him to be hospitalized."

"He's in the hospital?"

"Perhaps," said Mrs. Morehard, "but I don't know where he went."

"Well, thank you and have a nice afternoon!"

While Louis was talking to Mrs. Mohd, Lester took out his mobile phone and sent a message: "Claudia, help me check the hospitalization records of various hospitals in the city and find out where Charlie Comron is."

"Got it! Give me a few minutes."

So, just as Louis said goodbye to Mrs. Mohd, who closed the door, they had a reply from Claudia.

"There is no such person. I searched all the hospital records, large and small, public and private, and there is no Charlie Comron. I believe he still needs an anonymous national dignitary?"

"What about outpatient records? Or something like an emergency room."

"That's true. Three days ago, he was sent to Wattumo Hospital to see a doctor. The hospital is the closest to St. Bernard's Church. The examination results showed that he had old problems such as high blood sugar and cerebrovascular diseases, but there should be nothing left. hospital, and then went home."

"So he didn't go to the hospital again."

"exactly."

Lester handed the phone to Louis, and the latter looked at the chat record with an inexplicable expression.

"What did you think of?"

"Time difference."

"How to say?"

"After we looked for him that day, he was really unwell and was sent to the hospital by people from the church. But after the examination, it was all old problems, and then he went home."

"Ah."

"Then he started to take sick leave. Deacon Willis and the others came to visit him the next day. From their point of view, Father Comron has gotten better these days and is recuperating at home."

"Then, after Willis and the others left, he packed up his things and left home. Unfortunately, he ran into the neighbor's wife, so he claimed to be going to the hospital. So, in her opinion, Father Comeron went to the hospital these days. Is hospitalised."

"Correct."

"He took his stuff, drove away from the house, but never went to the hospital because the hospital didn't have his hospital records."

"this means……"

"He ran away."

"Absolutely!" Lester snapped his fingers, "Who is the real Mr. Liar now?"

TBC.
