A red glow glows from the index finger of the right hand, and the effect of the Ring of Miracles is activated.

At this moment, Qian Cangyi's abilities in all aspects have been strengthened to a certain extent.

The blackened hand seemed to ignore everything, and still attacked according to the original route, as if it was so strong that even the power provided by the hell movie could not intervene in the slightest.

In an instant, an imaginary picture came to mind in the depths of my mind.

In the picture, a man has a frightened expression on his face, his eyes bulging, and his right hand reaching into his mouth.

Not far from the man was a potted plant with pink leaves.

This man is Newman's rival in love.

Illusion Attack!

Qian Cang reacted immediately.

He ignored his blackened hands, opting instead to quickly back away and distance himself.

A second later, the charred hand vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Qian Cangyi once again focused his gaze on the strange potted plant in front of the window.

The plants in the potted plant don't seem to have anything special except for their strange color.

Even the opening and closing action caused by the blade just now no longer appears.

From the moment he approached the window, he had already entered the hallucination, and it was not until the charred hand appeared that the hallucination showed enough lethality.

The effect of Indomitable Will reduces the duration of the hallucination.

The feeling of coolness just now is the characteristic of the indomitable will to work.

If the illusion continues, I'm afraid that Qian Cang will end up in the same fate.

Although it consumes some of the vitality and the charge of the miracle master, it also has a lot of gains.

Why did Newman have this weird potted plant?

It may be possible to trace the traces of the cultists along this line.

Even if the manuscript has been taken out of Pegasus City, there is a chance to get it back.

Wow!

Footsteps could be heard outside the door, fast-paced and soft.

Qian Cang frowned and chose to dodge in the corner.

The cloak of invisibility gave him such abilities.

Even with the observation of the eagle's eye, it is impossible to tell, and this is still the case of knowing the location, let alone ordinary people.

There was a knock on the door.

The sound is slight.

Qian Cangyi didn't use the equipment, and it was too late to use it when he opened the door.

The lock didn't turn, the person outside the door wasn't Newman, and there was no key.

"Are you there?" There was a soft shout outside the door, a woman's voice, and it had been heard.

Qian Cangyi searched in his mind for the source of the sound, several unfamiliar faces flashed in his mind, and after two seconds, he confirmed the source of the voice.

It was the second suspect, Marianne, a bank teller with a criminal record.

It should be noted that Marianne's history is not conclusive evidence, but because someone at the ball recognized the jewelry.

Marianne naturally did not admit it, but excused herself to leave the ball, and when someone asked about it when she attended the ball again, Marianne defended that it was a loan.

Although Marianne was not caught, everyone knew about it.

It stands to reason that the bank shouldn't keep Marianne, but Marianne's prom helped her.

Some of Pegasus' deposits came from Marianne indirectly, and there was no conclusive evidence of theft, so Marianne still worked at Pegasus Bank.

Qian Cangyi was a little curious.

The relationship between Marianne and Newman is clearly just a colleague, not a lover.

Now Marianne came to Newman's house at such a sensitive time, it must not have been because she was "stopping by".

Marianne's home is nearly an hour's walk from Newman's home.

"Newman, it's me!" Marianne shouted in a low voice.

Afterward, a small voice came from outside the door, as if Marianne was complaining, but it was so small that she had to get close to hear it.

Qian Cangyi walked towards the door, his footsteps were slight and inaudible.

After the ear was pressed against the door, there was a cold touch.

Marianne's whisper came from outside the door:

"He must have gone to the bar again, I should have been inside the Dancer's Tavern."

"Alas, forget it, it's too chaotic inside, and there are a lot of people, if someone else sees me meeting him, maybe I'll be suspicious."

"This guy...... I shouldn't have promised him to steal the damn manuscript in the first place! ”

"Who would have thought that a manuscript would move so much?"

"Hopefully Newman hasn't handed over the manuscript yet."

"Keep waiting here? Wait...... I can't sleep when I go back anyway. ”

The thief who stole the Veldra Manuscript was none other than Marianne.

Qian Cang's eyes lit up.

According to what he found in Newman's room, after sorting out the situation, he immediately understood the cause and effect.

Newman has a violent personality and has repeatedly threatened to kill his rival in public, and for some reason, the conflict between Newman and his rival has worsened, but Newman doesn't want to be imprisoned after killing, so he uses the power of cultists.

The strange potted plant by the windowsill was the murderous tool that the cultists had provided to Newman.

After Newman's murder, the cultists took control of Newman and "threatened" Newman with help stealing the manuscript from Pegasus Bank.

It is said that it is a threat, and the cultist may be tactful in the course of the conversation, and a certain amount of remuneration is also offered.

Newman had no choice but to find Marianne, and the two conspired to steal the manuscript.

It wasn't until today that the ripple effects of the disappearance of the manuscript made the two realize the value of the manuscript.

As soon as Qian Cang returned to the corner, even if Marianne wanted to wait, he didn't need to leave immediately.

There are many places to hide in the room, and with the invisibility cloak, you don't have to worry about being found at all.

When Newman returns, Robert will follow Newman to his home, and when the two of them work together, Newman and Marianne can be subdued at the same time.

If you don't control the two of you tonight, after the two meet, maybe they will destroy the evidence and escape from Pegasus City.

This is not the result that Qian Cang wants to see.

About half an hour later, heavy footsteps came from outside the door, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, like the footsteps of a drunken man.

At Newman's door, a woman with blond hair and a fancy costume turned her head to look in the direction from which the voice came.

She is none other than Marianne, the teller at Pegasus Bank. Hill.

Beauty is her weapon, and beauty is her pursuit.

Her family is not wealthy, and she is often short of money.

Not far away, a man with short brown hair and a strong body was staggering by.

He is the guard Newman that Marianne has been waiting for. Gary.

"Newman, there's been such a big problem, you still have the heart to drink?" Marianne asked in a low voice.

Newman blushed, and the air he exhaled smelled of strong alcohol, and he looked at Marianne standing in front of him, and opened his slightly squinted eyes.

"Where's the manuscript?" Marianne crossed her left hand on her hip and stretched out her right hand, her tone impatient.

"Manuscript?" Newman was stunned for a moment.

"I don't want your money, give me the manuscript, and I'll treat it as if it never happened." Marianne wanted to solve something similar in the same way.

"Marianne, go in and speak." Newman continued to walk forward, waving his hand to push Marianne away from him.

Marianne didn't expect Newman to be so rude and almost fell to the ground, she stood still and looked at Newman's back and whispered "phew".

The two entered the house.

Newman entered the room and walked straight to the wooden chair, he grabbed the armrest and sat down, and even then, he almost sat out of the chair.

Marianne stood in the doorway, her hands clasped to her chest, her face very angry, as if she was going to have a seizure at any moment.

Under the moonlight, the eerie bonsai in the window is slowly opening and closing.

Marianne waited for more than ten seconds, and saw that Newman seemed to be asleep, so she spoke:

"Newman, you'd better hurry up and give me the manuscript, or I don't know what I'm going to do."

"A month ago, you deliberately let everyone know that you drank in the tavern, didn't you just want to tell everyone that you didn't kill people?"

"You didn't expect it, but it proves that you are suspicious."

"If I get caught, I will definitely tell you, and you will be worse than me by then!"

Marianne threatens to force Newman to hand over the manuscript.

She knew in her heart that the manuscript was not needed by Newman, who was not paid enough to pay her for it.

Newman, who was half-lying in his chair, suddenly sobered up, stood up, and spoke:

Manuscript ...... I've sold the manuscript, not mine. ”

"Don't worry, you won't be discovered, you don't say anything, no one will know."

Marianne replied with a cold face:

"I don't care about that, you'd better buy the manuscript right away."

"If you hadn't told me that the manuscript was lost, I wouldn't have promised you at all."

When Newman heard this, the green tendons on his neck burst out, his eyes were grim, and he walked towards Marianne step by step.

Marianne sensed something was wrong and turned to open the door.

At this time, Newman suddenly burst into flames and rushed up and strangled Marianne by the neck.

Marianne grabbed Newman's right hand with both hands, and kept kicking her legs, trying to break free from Newman's grip, but the difference in strength between the two was too great.

At the critical moment, a nimble figure opened the cabinet and rushed towards Newman.

[Reminder: Saving Marianne will add a small amount of rating.] 】

Qian Cangyi, who was hiding in the cabinet, suddenly heard a prompt sound in his head.

Kankura realized that the hints in the film were a little too frequent, as if he was being treated preferentially.

Combined with the reasons that Xiaotai said, this situation is not impossible, after all, Qian Cangyi is considered to have lowered his salary to participate.

For him, Marianne's life or death is not very important.

Through Marianne, Newman can only be traced, and now he already knows Newman, so even if Marianne dies, the clue will not be interrupted.

However, if you can increase the rating, it doesn't matter if you save Marianne.

The money warehouse strode up behind Newman in one or two strides, and then a leg sweep tripped Newman to the ground.

In the process of strenuous exercise, Qian Cangyi felt pain in his feet.

The injuries sustained in "The Treasure of the Burning Sea" have not healed for the time being.

Newman lost his balance and let go of Marianne's hand.

"Ahem, ahem......" Marianne clutched her throat and coughed desperately.

At the moment of life and death just now, she almost thought that she would die here.

When Newman landed, he turned around and put his hands on the ground, and immediately got up.

Before he could get to his feet, a side kick was sent to his face again.

The pain on his face made him sober from his drunkenness, but at the same time, it felt like the world was spinning.

Qian Cangyi planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but Newman had already recovered.

Newman grabbed the items around him and threw them at Qian Cangyi, and then seized the opportunity to rush to the bedroom while Qian Cangyi was dodging.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Newman put his hand under the pillow.

Subsequently, a black pistol appeared in Newman's right hand.

Then, the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at Qian Cangyi.

The moonlight shone on Qian Cangyi's face.

Newman recognized the man in front of him by the moonlight.

For him, the situation has developed until now because of the man in front of him.

The expression on his face gradually approached madness, and the desire to destroy everything took over his mind.

Now he doesn't want to think about the outcome, he just wants to kill the person in front of him and make him disappear.

"It's all you...... It's all your fault......" Newman roared loudly.

Amid the roar, gunshots rang out.

Marianne covered her ears and screamed loudly.

Qian Cang had already anticipated this early in the morning, and quickly hid behind the wall, avoiding the bullets that were fired at him.

The bullet hit the white wall facing the door, leaving a charred bullet hole.

Nearby residents heard gunshots and woke up from their sleep, and more and more sporadic lights lit up Black Swan Street.

Robert, who had been waiting outside the door for support, heard the gunshots and moved.

He pushed the door open and found that it could not be opened, then he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the lock.

Table tennis!

Bullets break the door lock.

Robert pushed the door in, and as soon as he stepped into the living room, he saw Newman coming out of the bedroom with a gun.

The two looked at each other, spotted each other, and then moved their guns at the same time, aiming them at the same enemy.

Qian Cang frowned, the situation in front of him was the last thing he wanted to see.

Newman can't die, and he also needs to ask Newman about the whereabouts of the manuscript.

Robert can't die, if nothing else, just by virtue of the friendship between the two in the movie "The Treasure of the Burning Sea", Qian Cangyi will not let Robert die.

In an instant, Qian Cangyi once again used the leader of the time mound.

He was going to give it a try.

Originally, he hid by the wall, planning to wait for Newman to come out and then use the leader of the Time Tomb to subdue Newman.

Now he can't do that, and the only thing he can do is get Newman to fall back unbalanced.

Although he could theoretically defuse the current crisis, it was clearly not necessary.

The special prop Bullet Buster is too wasteful to use at this time.

Time is filled up again.

Newman leaned back as he pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the ceiling, leaving a bullet hole.

Robert's bullet, which hit Newman in the chest.

Qian Cang took a breath, then reached out and pressed Newman's right hand holding the gun, snatching the pistol away.

Blood flowed from Newman's chest, instantly staining his clothes red.

"Hold on." Qian Cangyi pressed the wound.

Robert ran over, and he knew that the bullet he shot might make the clue a mid-laner, so he didn't bother Qian Cangichi.

Newman's expression stiffened, and his life was short.

Qian Cangyi hurried up and asked:

"Who told you to steal the manuscript?"

"You've been killed by him, tell me his name."

"As long as you can find him, any clue will do."

"I'll get your revenge!"

At this point, anything is fine.

The focus of Newman's eyes was on Qian Cangyi's face, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and regret.

Qian Cangyi's words made him a little moved, but he was a little hesitant.

"Tell me......" Kankura looked at Newman with "sincere" eyes.

Newman closed his eyes, and at the same time, said a name:

"Samuel. Fergus. ”

This name was Newman's last words.

After he finished speaking, his clenched fist was completely open, and the whole person collapsed on the ground without any movement.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on his face like a silver-white linen cloth.

"It's fine." Robert breathed a sigh of relief.

Qian Cangyi stood up, gently patted Robert's shoulder, and said:

"It's okay, between not having a clue from the manuscript and you're going to get hit by a bullet, I'd rather accept the former."

Robert smiled and didn't say much.

……

Three days later.

The police reported on Samuel's whereabouts.

A week earlier, Samuel had boarded a cargo ship and crossed the Villefort Sea with the cargo to the New World, In'an.

Samuel was a painter who was not well-known, but his family was well-off, so he was doing well, and he traveled a lot.

His painting style is eerie.

The expressions of the characters in the painting are either pious or fearful, and the background of the painting is mostly a hazy fog, in which the outline of some unknown monster often appears.

Three days also allowed the effect of the pain to be fully exerted, and Qian Cangyi's body had returned to normal levels.

Now, if you go back to three days ago, you will definitely be able to completely subdue Newman in the first sneak attack.

After investigation, the origin of the plants in the potted plant has also been known.

This plant comes from the interior of In'an and is capable of creating terrifying hallucinations.

"Kiwuraku" is the name of the plant, but people who live in Inn'an prefer to call it "Pink Demon".

Qian Cangyi knew that Newman's rival in love had died at the hands of the Pink Demon.

Among Samuel's paintings, there is a painting of a pink demon.

The pink demon leaves in the painting are bright red, and in the background, many charred hands are waving.

Currently, the Pink Demon has been sent to the academy for research.

[Discover the secret of the "Pink Demon" and increase the character score a little.] 】

The hellish movie also gives relevant hints.

Inside St. Walker's Church, Bishop Owen stands under an octagonal stained glass in a white bishop's uniform.

The light from the window shone through the glass on Owen's body, as if dyeing his clothes with a layer of holy light.

Qian Cangyi walked lightly behind Owen, bent down slightly, and then spoke:

"What's the matter with me, Lord Bishop?"

Owen turned his head with a smile in the corner of his eye, he nodded and said:

"Marshall, you're doing a great job this time."

"The Pope already knew about it, and his meaning was clear, the Veldra Manuscript had to be taken back into his hands."

"This is a letter for the East Beacon City Police Department to assist in the investigation, you can keep it."

"There is also a letter with the same content, which I have sent to make sure that nothing is lost."

East Beacon City is a port city in In'an, similar to Port Molov, but with a much higher status.

The city that Selmuw's cargo ship traveled to was the East Beacon City of In'an.

Owen took out a sealed envelope from his body, and the recipient of the envelope read "Merman. Clive".

Qian Cangyi took the letter in his hand.

Owen suddenly thought of something, and said:

"Marshall, this is a very special thing."

"The Pope doesn't want too many people to know about this, so you're the only one who goes to In'an."

When he said this, his right hand was stretched out and placed on Qian Cangyi's shoulder:

"Marshall, I have faith in you."

"God will bless you."

Qian Cangyi looked up at Bishop Owen, his eyes were clear, and replied:

"I'll send a letter back to report on the progress of the investigation."

"If nothing else, I'd like to leave for In'an as soon as possible."

"Start a day early, get the manuscript a day earlier."

When Owen heard this, he was very satisfied, and he whispered:

"Go for it......"

Marshall's home.

Qian Cangyi had already started to prepare, and he put weapons, gold coins, a change of clothes, and In'an's introduction books in his suitcase.

At this time, Robert was also preparing his own salute.

In the afternoon, the two boarded the Unicorn, a cargo ship bound for In'an.

Qian Cangyi stood on the deck, looking into the distance.

Two continents, one ocean, hide too many secrets and sins.

This trip to Yin'an will definitely be more auspicious.

……

A few days later, the Unicorn was firmly sailing in the Villefort Sea.

Kankura and Robert leaned against the railing of the deck, the wet sea breeze blowing past their ears, and the seagulls in the distance slid from the right side of the ship to the left.

"I didn't expect that I would soon leave for Yin'an when I arrived in Pegasus City." Robert sighed.

Qian Cang's eyes were on the sea, and he suddenly remembered something in his heart:

"Perhaps, this time we will be able to solve the mystery on the Blue Pearl."

There are too many secrets hidden on the Blue Pearl, several things are entangled, and because of the appearance of the ghost ship, almost all the insiders have died, and it is impossible to continue tracking.

Robert nodded and replied:

"Looking back now, it feels like a dream in the last few months."

"The parents were heartbroken after the loss of their child, and I went back and told them about Anthony's death."

"Do you know their reaction?"

"They first didn't believe me, then they got angry, accused me of talking nonsense, and then they negotiated with me, saying that they would add money to let me continue searching."

"I could only comfort them, and then they cried with me, and told me about their happy experiences, until they were tired of crying, and they finally accepted the facts."

"Actually, during my time in Port Molov, in addition to investigating myself, I also paid attention to the situation in this regard."

"As you said, there's a lot of stuff involved, and there's too much secret, too much darkness."

"And Jenny...... Pretty cute little girl, alas......"

"Even if I had known in advance that these things were going to happen on board the Blue Pearl, I think I would have boarded the sin-laden cargo ship without hesitation."

Qian Cang thought for a moment and asked:

"What are you a detective for?"

"Is it to find the truth, or is it to eat?"

Or maybe it's for ...... Justice? ”

Robert looked down at the sea, tapped the railing in front of him with both hands, and replied softly:

"There is a little bit of it, probably a little more justice."

"I was rescued by a detective when I was a kid and had an idea."

At this point, he changed the subject and asked:

"What about you? And why became a priest? I feel like you're just taking it like a job. ”

As soon as Qian Cang closed his eyes, Marshall's memory came to mind, he opened his eyes, and replied:

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone."

"Huh? No problem. Robert's face was intrigued.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Qian Cang said softly:

"Because you can listen to other people's secrets openly......"

Robert was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became strange when he looked at Qian Cangyi, and then he laughed and said:

"I have to admit, that's a good reason."

Qian Cangyi looked away at the sea, remembered something on the Blue Pearl, and asked:

"I remember what you said before on the Blue Pearl...... Detective combo? ”

"Anyway, we're going to In'an now, so we might as well give it a try."

"What do you think is the best name for the group?"

His words shocked Robert.

"I almost forgot ......," Robert blinked.

"Now I remind you." Qian Cangyi said.

Robert touched his chin with his right hand and said:

"Why don't you just use the name of my detective agency?"

"It's called 'trapezoidal waves.'"

"How?"

Qian Cang spread out his hands, nodded and said:

"Yes, no problem, but can I ask why it's called that?"

Robert hesitated, seeing that he could not fool the past, so he replied:

"Because the name is so impressive."

Half a month passed quickly.

The iconic building of East Beacon City stands on the shore, with a glorious lighthouse.

The Brilliant Lighthouse is a white circular building with a tall lighthouse that looks like a giant over the passing ships

Seeing the splendor waiting for him means that the East Beacon City is about to arrive.

Qian Cangyi stood on the deck, and the coastline in the distance stretched out of sight.

As far as the eye can see, countless ships enter and leave the port.

Inside the port, a vibrant city is gradually taking shape.

Inside the tall and sturdy walls, the red and black roofs intersect to create a unique picture of the city.

On the white-walled windows, people can be seen waving their arms everywhere, as if to warmly welcome the travelers who come to the East Beacon City.

The largest port city in In'an, East Beacon City, is about to welcome a new guest.
