The heart is located on the left side of the chest.

But there are a few people who have a right heart.

And such a thing, if it is not an acquaintance, is completely impossible to know.

Qin Ran looked in the direction of the door lock again.

There are no signs of prying.

And the third deceased, the retired athlete who died at home, had obvious signs of picking the lock on the door.

"The 'Topple' is starting to do something to an acquaintance?"

"Or maybe the first target was this acquaintance!"

"The previous deceased was just trying to cover himself?"

"Or, just a botched pretender?"

Qin Ran was thinking with his chin in his left hand, and suddenly a bold guess appeared in his heart.

And such a bold speculation undoubtedly needs to be supported by sufficient evidence.

However, Qin Ran had an easier way to distinguish whether his guess was right or wrong.

Qin Ran, who opened the [Tracking] vision, looked for footprints inside and outside the room.

There are various footprints on the ground.

But most of them were a person at the scene, and Qin Ran could clearly find the attribution of the footprints according to the footprints.

There was only one pair of footprints that didn't.

Who has been to the scene and disappeared into the scene?

Murderer!

Moreover, the pair of footprints have apparently been here more than once.

In the field of [Tracking], the brightness and dimness of the footprint marks indicate a different time of age.

Bright traces, just a few hours ago, stopped in front of the body of the deceased.

And the faint traces are a few days ago.

After comparing the pair of footprints, Qin Ran turned his head to look at Shi Qi.

"Give me a pen and a piece of paper!"

He said.

"Do as he says!"

Shi Qi commanded to the police on the side.

Taking the pen and paper, Qin Ran began to draw quickly according to the size of the footprints he saw.

In three minutes, a pair of footprints appeared on the paper.

The pattern of the sole is clearly visible.

At this time, the policeman who had left before trotted into the house with a marked map.

"Thank you!"

Although I know that I may have made a fuss. But Qin Ran still thanked him and took the map in the other party's hand, and confirmed it seriously.

There is no pattern to speak of.

This is true both in terms of normal knowledge and in terms of occult knowledge.

Qin Ran folded the map, handed it to Shi Qi with the paper with footprints in his hand, and said slowly: "I found some clues to this case!" ”

"What?"

Shi Qi was stunned.

"To put it simply, I think the previous 4 cases are just to cover up this case!"

"That guy brought you to a dead end, and then covered himself up so that no one would suspect him!"

"Of course. It is also possible that this case is a botched copycat! ”

"So, I can only say that what I found was the clue to this case - the other party is an acquaintance of the deceased, and there are his footprints here!"

"But you just need to find him to find out what's going on! By the way, a word of caution. If not a copycat, that guy should be fairly robust and good at using daggers and other short blades, when you move. Better be careful! ”

Qin Ran told the other party what he knew.

"Go investigate the deceased's acquaintances who match the footprints of this pair!"

Shi Qi walked longing and instructed his subordinates.

"Yes!"

After answering in unison, the police officers at the scene quickly took action.

Except for a few patrol officers and forensic doctors who stayed behind to guard the scene. Only Qin Ran was left.

As for the landlord?

I was also taken away for review for the time being.

Start with footprints.

Qin Ran looked around, and it was obvious that no one would be able to send him back to No. 1 Black Street.

Shrugged. Qin Ran walked out of the house.

……

When Qin Ran took the taxi and returned to No. 1 Black Street, it was already an hour later.

After paying enough fares, Qin Ran pushed the door and got out of the car.

After learning that he was going to enter the dungeon world of [Psychic Partner], Qin Ran, who had experienced the dungeon of the same world [Island Prison], was fully prepared.

Not only weapons and equipment, but also some necessary daily necessities have been prepared.

Thanks to the blessing of [Unqualified Great Detective], Qin Ran has enough non-attribute gems.

Although it is not possible to mount equipment, there are enough money to exchange for a dungeon world.

Of course, the system does not offer such an exchange.

You'll need to find your way through the dungeon world after entering it.

Fortunately for Qin Ran, there are many jewelry stores in the city.

Welcome back!

On a piece of white cardboard, Ghost Butler Fieldard wrote something like this.

"Thank you!"

Qin Ran smiled and nodded, and walked towards Nikailei's study.

He hadn't forgotten that Nicaelle had opened up her entire collection to him.

A 'psychic' book collection has enough temptation for Qin Ran, who urgently needs to improve the level of [Mysterious Knowledge].

Perhaps, there is no skill book that can directly 'obtain' the skill level of the 'hint'.

But there must be knowledge of something similar.

With Qin Ran's understanding of 'skills', each skill is a process of qualitative change after the knowledge in this field has accumulated to a considerable extent.

On the premise that he can't directly obtain the skill book, he relies on the accumulation of knowledge to complete the process of acquiring 'skills', which may be slow.

But it was the only option he had now.

For this only choice, Qin Ran would not give up.

In fact, if it weren't for Shi Qi's sudden arrival, he would have already gone to look through what kind of books it contained.

As for Filid's inability to communicate with his voice?

Qin Ran guessed that it was because the other party was a ghost.

But Qin Ran couldn't know what the specific reason was.

His [Occult Knowledge] level is too low.

And this made Qin Ran more and more eager to read the collection of 'psychic's.

Pushing open the door of the study, Qin Ran glanced at the carpet under his feet, which should be the product of alchemy, and then looked at the bookshelf.

It's not that Qin Ran doesn't want to study this carpet that is special at first glance.

It's that he knows what he needs most now.

It's a good idea to set a big goal to motivate yourself.

But more importantly: move forward towards that goal in a down-to-earth manner, not a fantasy!

Moving forward step by step is always more important than fantasy.

Qin Ran understood this truth.

So. He focused entirely on the books.

Thick books, arranged in rows on seven-storey shelves.

There are three stacks of bookshelves, each about 1.5 meters wide, standing against the wall.

Each book is quite old.

There is no text on the spine, just labels on the shelves.

Summary of Paranormal Events on the West Coast (Before ER990)

"The Level of Fear of Evil Spirits"

Distribution of Man-Eating Monsters

Characteristics of Nightcrawler

……

Qin Ran's gaze swept over those labels, and his originally eager heart gradually calmed down in such a browsing.

Impatience doesn't help you with reading in any way.

Call!

"Field, can you bring me a cup of tea?"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Ran said to the ghost butler beside him.

The latter slightly owed his luggage and disappeared in an instant.

Ten seconds later. A cup of brewed tea appeared in front of Qin Ran.

Compared to human butlers, such ghost butlers are always very convenient.

After nodding his head to Felide again, Qin Ran took out the book closest to him on the bookshelf and began to read.

There is no deliberate selection, and there is no such thing as a choice.

For Qin Ran, since Nikailei had opened the entire collection to him, if he didn't read all the books here, it would be too much to live up to the other party's kindness.

Especially when he finished reading "The Characteristics of the Nightcrawler"-

[After reading, the experience of magical biology increased slightly......]

Such a hint appeared on Qin Ran's retina. Immediately lifted Qin Ran's spirits.

Although at the beginning, he had some speculations in this regard, but until the actual appearance, Qin Ran was still excited.

The same. It also gave him more motivation.

After that, Qin Ran spent all the time in Nikailei's study, starting in the morning, lunch and dinner. Qin Ran also solved it in the study.

Moreover, Qin Ran planned to spend the night here as well.

However, just as Fielder brought the pillow and quilt. Shi Qi came to visit again.

"Good evening, 2567!"

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late!"

Shi Qi showed a completely different attitude from the previous visit, looking at the pillows and quilts on the sofa on the side, and the other party said apologetically.

Why would the other person say that?

The answer, of course, is self-evident.

According to the clues provided by Qin Ran, the other party caught the so-called 'heart plucker'.

Otherwise, use the temper that the other party showed when they first met.

At this time, I am afraid that it is already angry and loud curses.

And the words that followed confirmed Qin Ran's guess.

"We've got the 'topper'!"

"As you said, the other party is just trying to kill the 5th deceased, the first 4 are just disguising and covering themselves, that guy is a butcher and a gambler, and he has a grudge with the deceased because of gambling. Bo, and the removal of the hearts of all the dead is for sale! ”

Speaking of this, Shi Qi's face became a little strange.

"Selling a stabbed heart?"

"Organ transplantation is so advanced now?"

Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.

Instinctively, I feel that there is something in it.

"I don't know why!"

"However, my men are conducting a surprise interrogation, and they will definitely be able to dig up the confession we want!"

"And I'm here now for another event."

As he spoke, Shi Qi took out the folder he was carrying, opened it and handed it to Qin Ran.

Murder of the Missing!

Qin Ran saw the title above at a glance.
