Chapter Chapter

Children used to call him Father JJ by the first two initials, while adults called him Father John.

John Joseph Georgen is a veteran priest with more than 10 years of seniority, and it is said that he graduated from Oak Hill Bible College in Britain at the age of 34, and he was transferred to Watson Hall only half a year ago.

However, Father John was very good at dealing with people, and since he came to Watson, the atmosphere has changed, not only has there been a lot of harmony among the villagers, but even the streets, village committees, and towns have been very polite to the people of Watson.

Therefore, in normal times, all kinds of surprise inspections led by the police, anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities, and anti-crime and evil forces will generally not harass Watsangtang.

But today, I don't know which leader took the wrong medicine, and after sweeping Tujia Village and the surrounding villages, he turned the head of the car and surrounded Huashengtang.

The reason is simple – unemployed and undocumented vagrants who have gathered at Watson Hall need to be dismissed or repatriated.

As the bishop of Watson Church, John Joseph Georgen stood up.

But when he saw three policemen who he didn't know at all, he was also stunned.

The department-level cadre was the first to stretch out his hand: "Father John, right? I am the head of the action team in charge of this surprise inspection, and I hope you will cooperate with our work." "

Father John shook hands with the other party, but did not get out of the way: "Leader, this is Watson Hall, God will not give up anyone who wants to repent and atone, I hope you will respect our faith." "

The other party was unceremoniously: "Of course we respect your beliefs, but today is neither a Sunday nor an event day, so many people gathering here can easily cause mass incidents, and - gatherings of more than 50 people need to be reported in advance, do you have the paperwork to report?".

Father John's brows furrowed, of course he knew that most of the laws here were made for leeks, and the other party could study the legal provisions so thoroughly, it was definitely not good, so he said

"Some of the people here are local villagers who naturally go back at night, while others are homeless. God had mercy and allowed the church to take them in overnight. "

Unexpectedly, the other party did not back down at all: "No need, we have prepared a bus to take them to the homeless settlement." Ask Father John to let them come out on their own, so that the scene will not be ugly. "

That's it, I'm afraid I'm going to tear my face if I continue to talk about it.

Father John had to take a step back: "Then please wait a moment, I'll arrange it." "

The cadre nodded, and did not embarrass him, and Father John retreated into the church and closed the door with his backhand.

After a while, the doors of the church opened, and many people came out one after another, and Father John stood in the doorway, watching these "people of God" being taken into the bus, his face gloomy.

At this moment, suddenly a policeman came out and pointed to a thin man in the team

"You, don't move!".

The thin man was startled.

The policeman asked his colleague next to him, "Is that him?"

"That's right, facial recognition shows a history of drug abuse!

"Take it down and do a urine test!".

"Hey...... Big brother policeman, I didn't suck it...... Oops......

Without waiting for the thin man to shout, two policemen came up on the side and escorted this guy away.

The thin man was arrested on the front foot, and there was a big man with five big feet and three thick feet in the back foot team who ran away, but he didn't expect the police to lay a net long ago, and a few plainclothes people came out from behind the bushes on the side, and subdued the big man with one punch and kick.

"Captain, this guy is a wanted criminal!Steal and rob!"

"Well, catch it well! All this social garbage must be cleaned up!"

The people below said this, but the department-level cadre looked at Father John with deep meaning.

At this moment, Father John no longer has the same straight waist as before, which is very obvious - there are addicts and wanted criminals in the church, and you dare not hand them over? If you don't hand them over, I will teach you how to be a man!

After a while, when everyone was gone, Father John pushed open the door, revealing empty rows of benches, and whispered:

"Leader, are you satisfied?"

The other party did not move, ignored Father John, and waved his hand: "Close!"

After a while, the convoy of police cars roared away.

Another young deacon came to Father John and asked, "Father, have all the police in this district changed?

Fr. John replied: "When the Eastern Land Kingdom carries out assault missions, it will draw police forces from other places, because it is afraid that there will be collusion between the local black and white forces, so this is also a regular practice...... It's just ......".

"Just what?".

"This kind of petty inspection task generally does not alarm department-level cadres, a silver olive branch and two silver four-pointed star flowers, you know what it means?"

"Well, I would like to ask the priest to teach. "

"This is the rank of second-class police inspector, and this level requires the premier of the State Council to approve the appointment, you say...... Why would such a big official come to command such a small scene?".

"Ah...... Is it ......

"Pack up, let's get ready to change places!".

"Ah! Yes! Father John!".

After all, Watson Hall is a place that Father John has been running for more than half a year, and everyone is well-trained, and when the lights are on, it has been cleaned up.

Everything was organized and stored, piled up with three pickup trucks, and what could not be taken away was piled up and burned in the backyard of the church.

Father John put the last box of things in the car and patted the door: "Go north, go to Deshan Church!".

"Father John, what about you?".

"I'll stay here and wait for the fire to go out before I hitchhike. "

"Okay, please take care!".

"Go ahead, call me when it's time. "

With that, he strode back to the church and closed the door.

He walked around the main hall twice, as if nostalgic for the time spent there, and finally paced behind the altar, staring through the stained glass at the raging fire in the backyard.

Half a year's hard work is in this fire.

Alas, I really don't know what went wrong, how did I provoke the police?

Father John thought about it, but he was never able to answer this question.

He shook his head to himself, as if he had not bothered to think about it, and then he walked over to the icon, stretched out his hand, and was about to touch one of the icons when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Tuk!

Who else will come to church at that late hour?

Father John didn't move, but kept his posture and shouted, "Go back, it's closed today." "

Tuk!

Three more times.

Father John couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he hurried to the back of the door, and scolded through the door

"Who?!Closed door today, didn't you hear?If you have any questions, call the police!".

I heard a cold voice from outside the door:

"Only you can answer my question!"

Hey, and this kind of stalker, but it's really looking for death!

Father John pushed open a crack in the door and said angrily, "God also rests!

He just wanted to close the door, but the door didn't move.
