In the meantime, this Christian story has spread throughout the entire Roman Empire and tens of thousands of people believe it is really true. Needless to say, Headquarters is none too pleases that I failed to snuff this conspiracy a long time ago. Maybe that's why I've never been promoted to Senior Investigator or transferred to a fancy sea-side office. When I realized it would be impossible to I.D. a body, the next step was to examine the motive behind the conspiracy. Its one of the first things they taught us at the Academy.
All conspiracies have a motive.
People will only enter into a group lie if they can gain something from it. In studying these conspirators, I discovered that many of them had been devoted followers of Jesus for three years. He had spoken many times about a coming kingdom, with himself, apparently, as the new king. Everybody and his brother wants to overthrow the Roman Empire. His inner circle of followers were expecting to have prestigious positions in the new administration.
