Chapter 11 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor'

 On the organ bandstand, burning smoke floated above Aldan's head.

In the distance behind, below the ground, the eyes of the church and the Special Patrol Office were shining brightly.

"Whoever covers up his transgressions will not be granted justice. But whoever confesses his sins will receive mercy."

While Fan Ning was thinking rapidly, he uttered a motto, then passed by Aldan, whose legs were trembling, and sat directly in front of the bandstand.

When he took action during the mass ceremony before, he could tell that this young organist was a first-level knowledgeable person who had just been promoted recently. He probably performed the weird ritual and sacrificed Hester, who was engaged in unknown research, in order to

To avoid being suspected, prepare to finish the mass with accompaniment as usual, avoid it for a while, or go to a secret organization to ask for credit.

At this moment, under the forced interference and trauma, his spirituality is actually very unstable, and there is a possibility of distortion.

Of course, distortion did not pose any threat to Fan Ning. After he sat down, he took out another pair of black organ shoes from the box next to him and continued to bend down to change them.

After painstaking efforts to create such a large circle of identity details, it is necessary to point out the title of "Lavoisier Organist".

"You thought that after my visit, the wise men like the bishop and the inspector would come immediately, so you started what you planned in advance, and you wanted to bear false witness to cover it up. But in fact, I see that your words are different from my Lord's.

There is nothing in front of you that is unknown."

As Fan Ning spoke, he raised his hands and placed them on the four rows of keyboards of the organ. He glanced at Aldan one last time:

"...So when you go to the Magisterium later, remember how you heard and how you received it. First confess, then repent. If you are not alert, the bishops will come to you like a consuming fire,

You will never know when he will come."

His hands fell on the keyboard in a rough manner, playing sacred and magnificent decorative motives in unison:

“la/sol/la————”

“sol/fa/mi/re/(#)do——re!————”

It is Bach's most representative organ work, BWV565, "Toccata and Fugue in D minor"!

The introduction continuously changes and repeats in lower octaves, more than 3,000 whistles and yellow pipes sound in unison, and the heroic and sad melody washes out the echo in the church that makes the heart unable to move!

In the distance, on the church ground, Owen, who had been looking coldly at the bandstand, felt something shake his chest.

The believers who left the venue a little later were also shocked to a halt by the thunderous sound.

Aldan, whose spirituality was already on the verge of collapse, burst into tears and fell to his knees with a thump:

"I lost my head last night, and in the name of asking for guidance on how to perform, I attracted an evil spirit to the priest. I am really guilty!"

Tucville was originally attracted by the astonishing beginning of this organ piece, but after hearing Aldan's words, coupled with Fan Ning's admonition just now, he suddenly felt the last trace of doubt about the "coincidence of time"

A preliminary explanation was also given.

Yes, after Lavoisier's visit, Hester followed relevant regulations and invited censors to come to Biqi. Once the two Insighters arrived, the difficulty of carrying out covert activities would definitely rise sharply.

Therefore, in order to reduce variables, Aldan chose to perform the secret ritual in advance, which resulted in the incident of Hester dying as soon as Lavoisier's front foot arrived. This was not a "coincidence" or an "ulterior motive."

In fact, Tucqueville's understanding was entirely because Fan Ning had no idea about the deep secrets of the incident. He had just conceived the words and provided guidance in secret.

After Fan Ning finished speaking the motto, the first paragraph of admonishment was intended to reveal the other party's whereabouts, but in reality it was Fan Ning who took the lead in "explaining" the reasons.

In terms of content, Fan Ning did not distort the facts, but he simplified and flattened the reasons that might have been complicated.

Of course, this matter still cannot withstand careful questioning. If there is no deep secret, it would be too rare for a first-level sage to ask for the power of the evil god to kill a high-ranking sage.

So Fan Ning gave a second paragraph of reprimand, intending to ask the church to imprison Aldan for further questioning.

Then the next key step is -

Fan Ning's hands flew alternately on the keyboard, bringing out a series of magnificent triplet brilliance.

Aldan shed tears and confessed his crime in his heart. In fact, according to his original plan, it might take another month for Hester to study "helminthology" before it can be implemented. But for some reason last night, the sacrifice was

The "maturity progress" suddenly accelerated, so under the command of the informant of the secret organization, it was implemented in advance...

He was out of breath and wanted to continue to confess the above-mentioned inner words.

Suddenly, Fan Ning's left foot and right foot stepped heavily on two bass D's respectively.

"Buzz!——"

In the continuous celestial bass oscillation, Fan Ning's left and right hands successively dropped the keys deeply, and all the notes on the four-layer hand keyboard sank, playing a high superposed diminished seventh chord spanning five octaves!

“re——re——sol—(b)xi—(#)do—mi—sol—(b)xi—(#)do—mi————”

A dense, tense, even eerie and terrifying buzzing sound was heard in the church.

The stronger atmosphere of judgment and the eerie high-duplicated diminished seventh chords directly caused the believers inside and outside the church to kneel down one after another. Aldan, who was trembling all over, felt as if a huge stone weighing a thousand kilograms was pressing directly on his heart!

Beside the organ, his kneeling figure tilted and he fainted.

Fan Ning's fingers continued to fly on the keyboard.

Aldan had to speak the first words to acknowledge Fanning's revelation of his whereabouts.

But I can't go on talking any more.

Although Fan Ning didn't know what he would say, he had to shut up for the time being.

If this "blind box" is opened in front of everyone in the church and the Special Patrol Office, it may expose some unknown risks and affect the security of his identity. Therefore, Fan Ning hopes to postpone the opening, or in a more ideal situation, he will be left alone in the hands of the church later.

Open.

Bishop Tukville, who was enjoying the music, waved his hand and gave orders:

"Bring that Aldan down, lock him up in the training hall, and examine him carefully when he wakes up."

"Wait a minute." Irving shouted to stop the deacon, "This matter is full of strangeness, and it is related to background investigation. Please take away the involved people by our investigators."

The anger flashed in Tukweil's eyes.

"May I ask, Inspector General, who is the subject of your agency's 'survivor background investigation'?"

"Antoine Lavoisier." Owen glanced at him.

"Then please ask again, in another case of Hester's death, which organization did the deceased belong to?"

"Nature is also the Church of the Holy Sun."

"Where's the murderer?"

"Same." Owen frowned.

He seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what reason the other party was planning to use to launch an attack.

"Okay." The white-robed bishop walked and smiled, "Lavoisier came last night, and he was from my church. Hester died, and he was also from my church. The murderer was determined to be Aldan, who was also from my church.

..."

"The church invited you to assist in the review of Lavoisier because of the 'survivor background check' system, but now you want to arrest Aldan for investigation..."

"I would like to ask, since you are so enthusiastic about the affairs of our Holy Sun Church, should I call you Inspector Owen or Bishop Owen?"

On the bandstand, Fan Ning listened to the two people arguing on the ground, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

Very good, the two of you finally had a quarrel. Aldan's "blind box" may not be opened for a while...
