S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 2. Love Murderer: Chapter 29. The Truth

"It's good to be young forever." Zhang Ying said helplessly, "but not so much during that era... In this day and age, it is very common for people in their fifties and sixties to look like they are in their thirties. In fact, as long as people maintain their appearance, they can delay their aging."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded in agreement... While they thought of their fathers, they also thought of their mothers. It was really not hard to remain young exercising, drinking water, eating healthy food, getting beauty treatment, and doing things one enjoyed everyday.

"In fact, it was Count Bathory who really destroyed the Bathory family." Zhang Ying said. "What a man."

"Is he Paris' father?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Mmhmm." Zhang Ying nodded. "That's right."

"What did he do?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Medicine, life science, machine industry, astronomy and nature..." Zhang Ying slowly opened her mouth and said with a smile, "every word that stimulated the society at that time was a subject that was hated by the church and the royal family."

Bai Yutang couldn't help shaking her head. At that time, people who were full of life and loved science were public enemies.

"Count Bathory was already very low-key." Zhang Ying said, "however, he was a kind man. He believed medical research should be used to save other people's lives. Only then would it be valuable."

Outside, Gong Sun and Ma Xin nodded, "is that the heart of a parent?"

Everyone looked at them and thought to themselves, "you two are medical examiners. I can't imagine what it would be like if you guys became parents."

"He was saving people secretly, especially those who were said to be doomed by the church, and those who had diseases." Zhang Ying recounted. "He quietly brought the patients back to the castle for treatment and placed them to recuperate in the castle. Every time he saw a person cured, he would become very happy."

Zhan Zhao was confused. He touched his chin and thought to himself, "Count Bathory should be a very noble and friendly man. Why does he look so indifferent in the painting?" Although he had his doubts, he did not ask the questions. He just waited for Zhang Ying to continue.

"After that, many people gave him a title in private." Zhang Ying smiled. "One of them was the Pope."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang laughed, as they both thought to themselves, "that does suit him. He had cured the disease that the Pope could not cure,so he was even greater than the Pope. However, this reputation ended up killing him. Could the church have regarded him a thorn?"

"However, there are no impenetrable walls." Zhang Ying said lightly. "Despicability is the identity of those loathsome people, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble... It's been like this since ancient times. Count Bathory once saved a person from the brink of death... He was reported to the church for a reward of a hundred gold coins."

Everyone shook their heads, as this kind of person had existed since ancient times. They stepped on others to climb higher. Kindness meant nothing to them... The world accused people like farmers of being stupid, but turned a blind eye to the ruthless ones.

"Was Count Bathory killed?" Bai Yutang asked.

"The church coveted the property of the Bathory family. They wanted the world to hate the family forever and wipe the Bathory family out." Zhang Ying said. "At that time, a kind believer risked his life to inform Count Bathory and even brought something to him."

Zhan Zhao frowned and asked, "is it the vampire's mask?"

Zhang Ying nodded. "Clever."

"Did those from the church believe that the Bathory family was a blood-sucking family?" Bai Yutang said, "just like Mrs. Bathory back then. Then, they could kill all the members of the family?"
