Chapter 18 Mistakes
It's so neat!
Not only are the furniture neatly arranged, but the floors are also clean. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It doesn't look like a murder scene that has experienced an assassination at all, but it seems to be a good place to live, it is not a luxurious piece of furniture, but it is an ingenious one, and the subtleties are enough for Qin Ran to know that the value of these furniture is far beyond the luxurious ones.
A blanket sewn from animal skins, cushioned under the desk.
Looking at the coat color and skin pattern, it should be bear skin.
It's soft and comfortable to step on.
If you are barefoot, you will definitely have a different taste.
However, it is a pity that this bearskin blanket is now stained with sticky, foul-smelling green juice, which makes people subconsciously frown when they see it.
The liquid slipped from the chair.
Qin Ran's eyes shifted, the documents on the desk were neatly placed in a corner, and only a cup of tea that had already cooled was placed within reach.
"Drinking hot tea, sitting in a chair, waiting for news?"
Suddenly, such a picture appeared in Qin Ran's mind.
As for what news to wait for?
Naturally, Herbert's message.
This was the only thing Qin Ran could think of that would make the night seed worry.
It's just that His Excellency the Mayor, who was disguised by the night in front of him, was finally killed without waiting for the news it wanted to wait for.
The person who started it was very clean and neat.
There was not a single trace left outside of the night plant's body.
The body of the night seed turned into a green juice after death.
To put it simply, there is no trace left.
But this is just for ordinary people.
In the [Tracking] field of vision, Qin Ran identified a pair of footprints that were different from others.
This pair of footprints is very distinctive, with only the front half of the foot.
Mixed in a pile of footprints, it is really very conspicuous.
"On tiptoes, leaning on the shadows, slowly approaching behind the target, and then ...... Kill with a single sword? ”
Qin Ran's gaze followed the footprints, and his brain kept thinking.
But in some places it is not certain.
The knowledge of the night species for humans should be very deep.
Even if it is a kind of understanding of food, it is very necessary.
So, they should be well aware of the importance of a mayor's office.
To put it simply, such an important position is impossible for an ordinary night seed to fill.
It must be a powerful night species.
Even if it can't reach the level of Bartos's strength, it must be far beyond the ordinary night species, and such a night species will be killed without resistance?
Qin Ran hadn't forgotten that those green flames still had self-detonation.
Even if you can't manipulate the green flame, you should be able to self-detonate, right?
With doubts, Qin Ran's gaze was on the teacup.
He looked down and sniffed.
The cold tea has long since disappeared and the smell is emanating.
"Has the tea been checked?"
Qin Ran asked.
"It's just some tranquilizers, not poison!"
Rodeaux replied.
"Tranquilizer?"
Qin Ran, who didn't get the expected answer, squinted his eyes and scanned the entire room again, including all corners.
Eventually, his gaze lingered on the corner of the hallway.
A small incense burner was placed there.
Qin Ran walked over, lifted the lid, and the scent of burning out wafted out.
Without careful discernment, Qin Ran was able to rely on the [Medicine. The [Specialized Poison] of Drug Knowledge judged that the incense inside was mixed with drugs that paralyzed the nerves.
"Who's in charge of this?"
Qin Ran pointed to the incense burner and asked.
"It should be His Excellency the 'Mayor' himself, since the unfortunate death of the mayor's wife, he has been living alone, and there is no servant to take care of him!"
Rodeaux replied dryly.
Apparently, the new sheriff is not ignorant of this.
"Is that so?"
"Do you have to be widowed in order to hide your secret?"
"Go to the residence of the Secretary-General!"
After Qin Ran muttered to himself, he said directly.
"Okay!"
Rodu nodded.
In the next two hours, Qin Ran, accompanied by Luo Du, investigated the remaining three murder scenes.
These three murder scenes are no different from the murder scenes of His Excellency the Mayor disguised as the night seed.
They all rely on the paralysis of poisonous smoke, and then, kill with one blow.
If I had to say anything different, it was that Yazen, who was disguised as the chief of the police department, didn't seem to like lighting incense, so the assassin simply used another method: poisoning the alcohol.
"Did you find anything?"
Returning to the carriage, Rodu asked impatiently.
"The assassins know their targets well, not only their habits, but also all their movements, and make reasonable use of them - the assassins know that these night species who occupy the top positions in Burr City are waiting for an important news, and such a wait must be difficult, and if these night species want to make themselves patient, they must use some auxiliary items, and according to their habits, they have become tea, incense, and wine!"
"It's just that in some places, the assassin seems to have gone wrong!"
Qin Ran said.
"What's the important news?"
"What's wrong?"
Luo Du asked subconsciously.
"What happened last night?"
Qin Ran asked rhetorically.
"Your Excellency, Your ......"
"However, we didn't find any additional traces at the scene, not only the assassin, but also the one who reported the news!"
Luo Du was stunned for a moment, and then puzzled again appeared on his face.
"The assassin left traces, but because of his skill, the traces became very shallow and subtle, so you didn't find it!"
Qin Ran never expected any decent technology in a world where gunpowder was just emerging, and solving cases here relied more on experience and guesswork.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that the bounty hunters and mercenaries will do good business.
Because, many people do not believe in the results that do not match their guesses.
In order to make the result match their guesses, they naturally don't mind spending some money and asking people to help.
"What about the debriefers?"
"It can't be a dereliction of duty, right?"
Rodu, who had clearly guessed something, joked.
"If your life is in danger, it may well be a dereliction of duty - Your Excellency Sergeant, you now need to find someone who is different from your usual routine and appears to be in a state of panic. A low-level government official who has the identity of being able to see directly one of our Lord, the Secretary-General, the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Commissioner of Police without suspicion! ”
"Of course, it's a target for assassins right now, so I'd suggest you bring your men and weapons!"
"After all, in order to make up for his mistakes, the assassin will definitely not let it go!"
Qin Ran reminded with a smile.
"That's for sure!"
"Can I ask for your help in the face of such an unknown assassin?"
Luo Du nodded first, and then invited Qin Ran to help again.
"Yes!"
For the sake of the side quest, Qin Ran would not object, and simply agreed.
What's more, Qin Ran really wanted to see what it was like to be able to assign a night seed similar to a low-level fire element.
'It's a replica of a great thing'!
The remarks of [Solid Fire] and [Eye of the Fallen] made Qin Ran's heart full of curiosity.
"Don't worry, I will give you enough reward!"
Seeing that Qin Ran agreed, Luo Du jumped out of the carriage with a smile and began to command his subordinates loudly.
Undoubtedly, the new sheriff already has a definite goal in mind.
When the carriage moved forward again, there were two more wagons full of policemen behind them, and behind them were a squad of policemen with guns on their backs.
Under the command of Rodu, the crowd marched towards a residential area.
However, before I got close to the residential area, there was a loud noise.
Rumble!
Is that......
Shelling!
