Aldridge didn't panic when he heard the knock on the door, and he didn't respond immediately. Instead, he manipulated the black gold particles that controlled Tom Hansen and quickly got into the closet in Tom's room.

According to his calculations, his black gold particles would turn into the original gray stone in about two minutes.

Then Aldridge asked calmly in the continuing knock on the door, "Which one?"

A nice female voice came from outside the door: "Rita."

Aldridge smiled slightly, the time was just right.

He opened the door, and standing outside the door was Rita from the Forest Tavern. She was once again wearing a green dress, and the 'Tree of Life' badge never left her body, but her hair was not draped over her shoulders as before. Is to form a group.

Behind her was a man she had never seen before. He was average in appearance, wearing a white robe with a green color matching, and a badge surrounded by black iron on his chest. His face was cold and expressionless. It should be the church responsible for special events. the extraordinary.

Hmm... Judging from the badge, it should be the deacon of the church.

"Is it over? Mr. Aldridge."

Rita smiled at him gently, and there was some kindness in her words.

If it's not over, you won't knock on the door at all.

Aldridge wanted to make a pouting expression. He knew very well that Rita had never just arrived here, but had been outside the door for a while. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?

He said calmly: "It's done. As I said in the letter, Tom Hansen is the mastermind of the missing girl case."

Rita's beautiful face showed obvious joy, she nodded to the man behind her, and then the man walked into the room, glanced at Tom Hansen, who was lying on the ground.

During this process, he didn't look at Aldridge at all, giving him a proud feeling.

Aldridge smiled slightly. Anyway, he is a person who has no relationship, so it doesn't matter.

He was about to say something to Rita, but suddenly he saw a figure lying on the ground behind Rita!

Aldrich took a closer look, and his heart jumped, it was Al?

Why is he here? Didn't he go out already?

Aldrich's mind twitched and he tried his best to control his facial expression. He pulled his gaze back to Rita's face and asked, "Al, why is he here?"

Rita said: "He was standing at the door when we came, and Thiel knocked him unconscious because he was worried that he was also a suspect. It turned out that he was Al Lind."

He went out and turned back...

Aldrich smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling that his energy was wasted.

He chose to handle it himself in the first place because of Sunderland, and he chose to handle it himself after two days in the timeline because of Al.

If he had pushed the matter directly to the church from the very beginning, it would be conceivable that Tom or Al would be thoroughly investigated. Tom needless to say, and Al would not be able to escape responsibility as innocent. of.

Once caught by the church on the grounds of participating in extraordinary events... El's life will be ruined!

He was just a good boy who worked hard to live, and he didn't deserve such an end.

I just don't know when he stood at the door and what he heard. If Al heard everything, how hard would he be hit?

Tom Henson, Aldrich Alfred, and Al are the equivalent of losing two friends at once, or in this way.

Aldridge was a little sad, although he knew that he only said those words to stimulate Tom Hansen.

He nodded knowingly, gritted his teeth and finally said, "He and Tom Hansen are roommates, but from Tom's dictation, he doesn't know it."

Rita smiled meaningfully and said, "The credibility of what Tom Hansen said is very low. We will investigate whether Al Lind knows about it, and..."

Rita put it aside, carried the bag containing the teddy bear, and said again: "These bears, Al Linde is involved in the sale, even if he doesn't know it, the identity of the accomplice can't escape."

Aldridge sighed secretly, as expected.

In this matter, what he considered most was how to prevent Al from being captured by the church, and how to prevent himself from being targeted by the organization behind Tom Hansen.

Aldrich is not an idealist, so he made two plans before acting.

If El Linde doesn't know about this, then when El Linde is not at home, there is room for his accomplice. After all, El is not even a Beyonder, as long as the source is dealt with , the church will not put him on the line.

And if Al Lind knew about this, Aldridge would report it directly to Rita and let her deal with Al who was selling teddy bears outside.

Aldridge went to great lengths after capturing Tom Henson just to find out from Tom's mouth whether Al was innocent or not. As for 'where is the lost girl', it was just a pretense, would Tom say it was a time? The matter, even if he said it, is not something he can handle, and it will definitely be handed over to the Church of the Mother Earth.

However, Aldridge is not a hero, not even Al's hero, what he needs is to help Al in his own safety.

After thinking about it, Aldrich still sent a letter to the Forest Tavern yesterday, and the content in it introduced the whole story:

It started when I met Al, and when I was a guest, I learned that Tom made teddy bears and sold them. Two times, the children with teddy bears disappeared. Finally, when they came to visit, they found the problem of the teddy bear's eyes.

The timeline of this process was completely disrupted by him, further reducing the suspicion that may arise after Sunderland heard about it, and he placed the main body of selling teddy bears on Tom, in order to protect Al.

In addition to this, the most important content of the letter is to emphasize that Tom Hansen is ignorant of the doubts that have arisen, expressing expectations that he wants to deal with it himself, and making a request to come and close it this morning.

It is emphasized that Tom Hansen was unaware of the suspicion in order to make Rita not get excited and simply do it herself, expressing the expectation that she wants to deal with it herself using the common reason of 'earning the bounty'.

In the end, it was proposed that the ending is to let the Church of the Mother Earth bear the risk of being targeted by the organization behind it, which is also the core of this letter.

But he didn't expect that something went wrong. He didn't expect Al to turn around and let Rita and the others bump into each other. There was no room to swirl, and it would be no use to them to grab Al back. trouble.

In this way, everything Aldridge did became a joke~lightnovelpub.net~ and there was no difference between writing a letter and letting the church handle it, and being an audience.

At this moment, the church man walked over with Tom Hansen in one hand and gestured to Rita without saying a word.

Aldridge noticed just now that he had walked into the room where Tom lived. It should be to collect evidence. Even when Aldridge didn't notice, he didn't know where the teddy bears in the corner were taken.

Rita said to Aldridge, "Thank you for your help, and the due reward will be given to you after we finish."

Aldrich was silent and did not want to speak. He was in a heavy heart and just nodded.

The church man grabbed Al and the cloth bag with the teddy bear on the ground with his other hand, and walked downstairs first.

Rita greeted Aldridge and turned to leave.

But she turned around halfway through, smiled at Aldridge and said, "By the way, we won't reveal your involvement to anyone in this matter."

After speaking, she left without waiting for Aldridge to react.

Aldrich looked at her slender back and breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the money reward given by the church, what he needed most was Rita's last guarantee.

At least he doesn't have to worry about being targeted by organizations hiding in the shadows.

In fact, to be honest, Aldridge doesn't know whether this organization really exists. After all, this is all his speculation.

But the probability of this guess being correct is definitely not low.

Otherwise, how to explain the fact that Tom Hansen became an Extraordinary?

Although the result was ugly, Aldridge reluctantly chose to accept it.

He knew that he couldn't dedicate his life to an ordinary friend, and he tried what he could, at least worthy of his conscience.
