Wine and Gun

Chapter 391

That's why it's totally unpredictable what McArd will see when the door is opened - the truth is, Olga isn't home alone, she's not even alone with her carer, Miss Brooke.

Olga is out of the hospital, and Annie's job isn't over: she still has long hours to work with those atrophied muscles until Olga's rehab is complete and she has a proper prosthesis. . This part of the content is not in the contract signed by WLPD at the beginning, but looking at the salary conditions offered by Olga, Annie is completely welcomed by 10,000%.

At this moment, the nurse is sitting on the sofa, licking her oily fingers, holding a huge popcorn bucket in her arms... There is another hand buried in the bucket, the owner of the hand It's Orion Hunter.

Put it this way: McArd stood at the door without embarrassment, Midaren, who opened the door for him, took a step back, and the three on the sofa—including Orr, who was comfortably seated in an easy chair Jia - turned to look at him together, chewing popcorn like a hamster with three crops full of nuts.

On the TV screen in front of them was the opening credits of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

McCard imagined many times what he would see in Olga's living room, including but not limited to a serial killer or a corpse on the floor of her house, but in any case, he was definitely not ready for the scene in front of him. Prepare.

"Hi," Olga waved his sticky fingers symbolically at him, "We're having a Star Wars movie marathon, do you want to join?"

This bastard must have condescended to ask a question when it was absolutely impossible for McCard to join.

"I need to talk to you, there's a case in Kentucky today," said McCard, who traveled all the way from Quantico to Kentucky and from Kentucky to Westland because of this case, but Obviously Olga doesn't care about these details.

"You're going to interrupt us before one of My Darren's favorite episodes, just to give a case to a college professor who's on vacation at home?" Olga asked rhetorically.

McArd could hear Midalen exclaiming "I AM your FATHER!!!" excitedly in the background, proving that no matter how calm the kid was in court, he was actually only fourteen... Although McCard didn't quite understand whether Midalen was mocking him.

"The child's favorite character is Darth Vader. It's really nerve-racking, right." Olga glanced at Midalen and said to McCard with a smile.

"—Olga!" McCard accentuated, as if he was grinding his teeth.

"Okay, then you continue." Olga sighed in compromise and waved to several other people. "I'm going to talk to this special agent McCard about a case that's very interesting to him."

After a quarter of an hour, the two of them finally stayed comfortably outside the porch of Olga's house. The temperature in May was warm enough. Olga sat in the wheelchair under the porch with the gesture of a kind old woman. She was holding hot cocoa, and McCard was standing beside her.

Olga's house has a very large yard, but she hates housework and is not good at gardening, so she spends a sum of money every year to hire someone to take care of the yard for her, just so that she can see the longevity of the yard as soon as she pushes the door. Full of lush Rosaceae plants.

Olga stared at the pink and white flowers on the woody plants that climbed the walls, and asked, "The Sunday gardener has committed crimes again? I noticed that today is Sunday."

McArd never took a picture out of his pocket and threw it on her lap. Olga looked down at it: the picture was a scepter-like object with glittering gold, which seemed to be some kind of gilded metal, with a long The top of the handle is a round, small glass box, surrounded by countless decorative lines, which are used to represent the ten thousand holy lights released by the glass box.

This is a Eucharistic Light, a sacrificial vessel used to display the Holy Communion during Catholic religious ceremonies. But the glass box at the top of the Eucharist that was supposed to hold the white patties was now stuffed with bloody chunks of meat.

This Eucharistic Light is placed against the wall in front of a church fresco - what appears to be King David herding his flock, with the Eucharistic Light standing in front of his outstretched arm, which suddenly looks like his hand holding cane.

"This thing came from a cathedral in Kentucky," McCard said. "Parish bishop Father Anderson disappeared last night, and the aides didn't care when they didn't get in touch with him at first, until today they're preparing for Sunday mass. I found this Eucharistic light when I was around, and the chunks of meat inside were apparently... human tongues."

"What, don't they think it's one of those old-fashioned miracles where the Eucharist becomes the flesh of Christ, and then report it to the Vatican? Maybe the Pope will consecrate any of them? ." Olga sneered.

"That's because the local forensic lab compared the meat to Father Anderson's hair, which is obviously Father's tongue," McCard replied, frowning, "and the priest was from Kentucky thirty years ago. Father of St. Anthony's Church in White Oak, State, you know what that means—I'm assuming Sergeant Hardy has shown you that open case file in White Oak."
