Chapter 50: farewell ceremony
All night.
Although this was not Igna's original intention, Backlund went into hibernation after nightfall. Even if they have the idea of handling the case, they must wait for the arrival of a new day.
Forensic Jennings was left with nothing to do after completing other autopsies, as Mrs. Bronk had rejected an application for a forensic autopsy at Severas Field.
They went back to 221b. Igna thought maybe he should say something to comfort Jennings, but in the end he gave up.
Some things that others say are useless.
-
the next day.
Ignatius, Jennings, and Joshua dressed in black three-piece suits and rode in the ordinary carriage of the West Vilas Field to the Bronk's house.
The Bronk family's house is a much more luxurious villa than imagined.
From the lot and the exterior wall decoration of the house, it can be seen that the owner should have considerable assets and a certain social status.
Not only is this villa architecturally chic and by the hands of a master, but it also comes with a huge garden. The flowers and plants in the garden are also carefully taken care of, reflecting the extraordinary taste of the host.
It is not the first time Ignatius has seen such an imposing house.
However, he still felt a little discomfort at the inhumanity of the house. On the other hand, Jennings and Joshua are much more normal.
The two gentlemen wore very formal three-piece suits with solemn expressions, which did not seem to be affected by these external factors.
The funeral begins at ten o'clock.
But the hearse carrying the remains will leave Scott Bronk's house at 8 o'clock and arrive at St. Jesus' Church in the North District of the Church of the Evernight by 9 o'clock.
Igna and the others arrived at about half past seven, and they didn't wait long when they saw the coffin containing Scott Bronk's body being carried out of the room by the coffin carrier, Mrs Bronk. He followed behind the coffin with his little daughter.
When Mrs. Bronk saw the three of them, she nodded slightly in greeting.
Joshua, on the other hand, fulfilled his duty as a sheriff, and stepped forward quickly, explaining his purpose at the moment. Of course, it's retouched.
"Mrs. Bronk said she could accept our inquiries and provide some clues, but it will not be until the funeral of Dr. Scott Bronk," Joshua said.
"According to Mrs. Bronk, the funeral will probably be over around 1:00 noon. How about it, gentlemen, would you like to follow me to the funeral?"
Igna and Jennings looked at each other and nodded silently.
"Then keep up," Joshua said.
-
When the three followed the coffin to the Church of St. Jesus, there were still twenty minutes before nine o'clock in the morning, and it was a long time before the funeral began. They did not rush in, but waited outside, watching the endless stream of carriages carrying people from all walks of life to the front of the church.
Most of them are from the medical profession, and many doctors recognized Jennings.
Several doctors even came over to briefly greet Jennings.
Among these doctors was one doctor and his wife, as well as his children, who impressed Igner very much.
Because everyone else is themselves, and at most they bring their wife to attend the funeral. But this doctor came with a whole family.
His youngest son looked at most two years old, still the age to be held in the arms of his wife and maid.
Although the child looked very solemn in a three-piece gentleman's suit, it was somewhat strange that the pink-carved face was wearing such a suit.
And, logically speaking, such a small child is generally not brought to a funeral. Unless he has a very deep bond with the owner. However, when Igna sat in on the doctor's conversation with Jennings, it didn't seem to be the case.
"This is Dr. Alan Kreis, who is also studying at the Bath School of Medicine at Backlund University. Our mentor relationship is very good, so he was a senior I had a good relationship with when I was studying. Now I work at Backlund Hospital. ." Jennings introduced Igna and Joshua, "This is his wife, Mrs. Michael Kreis, and his youngest son Will Auceptin Kreis."
Then, after introducing Dr. Alan Kreis, Jennings also introduced Igna and Joshua to Dr. Alan Kreis.
"This is Sheriff Joshua Leeds of the Seavelas Field. And the consulting detective of the Seavelas Field, and my current roommate, my dear friend Sheryn Hill."
"We're here to investigate the cause of Scott Bronk's death," Jennings said briefly, but he didn't say much, but instead asked, "Alan, are you and Scooter? Has Te Bronk ever worked together?"
"Yeah." Dr. Alan Kreis, who is tall and thin, wears gold-rimmed glasses and looks very strict, nodded and said, "I have cooperated with Dr. Scott Bronk during the expert consultation before." (Note 1)
"Despite the haste of Dr. Scott Bronk's obituary, I feel compelled to come to offer my condolences."
"That's it." Jennings nodded.
"I didn't expect you to come back from the front line of the battlefield, and you didn't even tell us." Dr. Allen patted Jennings on the shoulder, "When your case is over, shall we get together?"
"Okay." Jennings laughed, "Definitely."
Originally, this episode Igna did not take it to heart.
Until they entered the church in an hour, Ignat happened to be arranged beside Mrs. Mikael Kreis, and she was still holding little Will Auceptin Kreis in her arms.
"Give it to you." Ignat felt his sleeve was being pulled, and then when he lowered his head, he heard the baby beside him say in a milky voice.
It was a golden thousand paper cranes.
It is very beautifully folded, and it looks particularly good-looking when lying in the hands of a child who is tender and tender.
Originally, Igna was a little drowsy listening to Scott Bronk's condolences. At this time, Will Auceptin Kreis pulled his sleeves, and his attention was immediately taken away. .
Dr. Alan Kress' youngest son is also very good-looking. His face was so tender that he seemed to be able to squeeze out water, his pale blond hair was softly attached to his forehead, looking cute and cute, and his brown eyes were very smart, as if he could talk. (Note 2)
"Ah, thank you." Igna was a little flattered.
For so many years, the juggler master was given a gift by a child for the first time when he was not performing.
Holding the thousand paper cranes from Will Auceptin Kreis Jr. with both hands, Ignatius' gene of the master juggler engraved in his DNA moved. He couldn't help but use some of the skills of the master juggler. Conjured up with candy hidden in clothes.
With a turn of his hand, the thousand paper cranes in his hand turned into colorful candy balls.
"Give it to you too." Igna smiled and handed the candy in his palm to Will.
Will was stunned for a while, but he still took the candy from Igna and whispered, "Thank you."
This little child is really more and more likeable, and Igna can't help but flip through some flowers in his hands.
The master juggler's hands are very dexterous, so he can conjure up many tricks with only one hand and a candy.
Will Auceptin Kress Jr. was clearly more interested in Ignatius' trick than the hypnotic condolences. Igna also thought it was more fun to tease such a cute little angel.
However, Igna didn't dare to make trouble in the goddess's church. He only played with Little Will for a while, and then he listened seriously to the prayer recited by the priest.
Funeral Mass took about two hours.
Finally, the priest covered the coffin with a velvet curtain and sent it to the cemetery.
Ignatius, Joshua and Jennings all silently followed behind the group. Dr. Allen's family fell behind because the child was crying inexplicably when they were halfway there.
-
The remains are buried.
The priest of the Church of the Goddess recited the eulogy softly and sympathetically People who came to mourn Scott Bronk threw the sleeping flowers in their hands onto the coffin in the earth pit .
The whole funeral seemed peaceful and lonely in the misty drizzle.
Sure enough, the funeral, as expected, ended around one o'clock in the afternoon.
Ignatius, Jennings, and Joshua returned to the Bronk's lavish residence with Mrs. Bronk.
