Sander's home is in the inner city.

To enter the inner city, you will need a document to prove that you have a property in the inner city, or that you are traveling with someone to vouch for.

The streets of the inner city are lined with many trees, and there is almost no noise around, making it much quieter than the outer city.

Qian Cangyi followed Sander to his house.

A beautiful two-storey house with an attic, in front of which is a garden with roses, lilies, and moonflowers.

"Usually it's a gardener, and to be honest, I'm not too happy with the environment."

"I prefer to be a little more lively, but a lot of orders are negotiated on it, and it's worth paying a fee a year for it."

"Mr. Marshall may also purchase one if he likes."

"There may be a temporary loss of money, but it will definitely bring you more money in the end."

Sander was still selling to Money.

Qian Cangyi's real power made Sander very envious.

"Well, I'll think about it." Qian Cang nodded, and fixed his eyes on the red door.

Without further ado, Sander walked to the door, his right hand in his pocket, ready to take out the key.

Just as Xander inserted the key into the keyhole, a startled sparrow screamed from inside the house.

Qian Cangyi hurried over, and Sander opened the door at the same time.

The two of them rushed into the house and into the living room, and then, with a glance left and right, Sander ran to the second floor.

Qian Cangyi followed closely behind Sander.

After making his way through the two hallways, Sander made his way to the collection room.

Qian Cangyi stood in the doorway, and after seeing the scene in the room, he took a deep breath.

The collection room is home to a wide variety of collections, such as armor and daggers, the smaller ones are placed in glass cases, the larger ones are placed on the walls, and in the center of the room, a painting is placed on an easel.

The painting depicts a dark cave.

There is nothing special about the painting itself, the problem is that there is now a person with the lower body inside the painting, inside the pitch-black cave to be exact.

This person is none other than Pierce, who follows Robert to investigate the Sander house in advance.

Pierce's upper body is outside the frame, and the lower half is inside the frame.

The expression on his face was terrified, and he had stiffened, as if he had seen a terrible monster.

His hands were propping up the frame, his knuckles were white from overexertion, and he looked like he wanted to escape from the cave.

Not far in front of the painting, Robert lies motionless on the ground, unconscious.

"Oh my God, what's going on?" Sander leaned his back against the edge of the door, unable to believe what was happening in front of him.

As soon as Qian Cang walked into the collection room, his expression was serious.

He walked up to Robert and crouched down, his right index finger and middle finger together, placed in front of Robert's nose.

"Sander, call the doctor, and ...... The police. Qian Cang turned to Sander.

Sander nodded hurriedly and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Kankura walked towards the painting in the middle of the collection room, and he walked to the back of the painting and looked at the text above.

"Samuel. Fergus. ”

"Cave of Fear."

"The 03rd work of the exhibition of life."

"For the traveler who hides in the shadows."

Qian Cangyi basically already knew what was going on in the collection room.

This time, as in the Asuka case, Samuel's painting was turned into a killing tool.

The last person who died was the first mate of the Asuka, and this time it was Pierce, a police officer who had just been on the job for less than 10 days.

Although Robert was unconscious, his breathing was steady and not life-threatening.

Qian Cangyi placed his right hand on the frame, and he stood on the side of "Cave of Fear", looking at Pierce, who was only half of his body.

The young man who was still vigorous just now has become a ...... Half a cold corpse.

Suddenly, something seemed to flash outside the window.

Qian Cangyi quickly ran to the window and opened it.

Not far from the wall, a black bug flew into the distance.

The insect is similar in size to ladybugs, but it is completely black and more elongated.

Tick.

The clock of eternal sleep began to turn.

Time around them stopped instantly, and everything stood still.

Qian Cang stepped on the windowsill and took off his clothes.

Time began to flow again, but the black worm did not continue to fly into the distance, because Qian Cangyi used the leader of the time mound.

Extend the time to catch up by another second.

As soon as Qian Cang came to the back of the black worm, he covered the black worm with his coat.

The surrounding time is refilled.

Qian Cang took a deep breath or two, and then returned to normal.

He returned to the house and immediately sealed all the entrances and exits.

He opened one of the glass cases against the wall, and then he threw his coat into the glass case and covered the glass case.

Black bugs flew around in glass cases.

Qian Cangyi took a closer look at the black bug.

If at first he was only skeptical, now he is almost convinced.

The black bug in front of him was the bizarre black bug I had seen on the Blue Pearl before.

Now I saw it again outside the Sander house.

"Could it be that Sander ...... No, he didn't behave like a cult member at all. Qian Cangyi denied this conjecture.

Qian Cangyi put his mind down for a while, and instead looked for a glass bottle to keep the black bugs alone.

……

East Beacon City Police Department.

Office of the Director.

As soon as Qian Cangyi walked into the office, Merman rushed up, grabbed Qian Cangyi's collar with both hands, and pushed Qian Cangyi to the door.

Merman was furious, and he wanted to vent all his anger on the person in front of him:

"I asked you to take Pierce to check people, not so that he died so that he couldn't even find the lower half of his body!"

"What the are you looking for?"

"If you don't make it clear to me today, I'll shoot you!"

"I do what I say!"

Merman let go of his hands, turned back to his desk, and with a wave of his right hand, pushed all the materials on the table to the ground.

Qian Cang straightened his collar, found a chair and sat down, and then, taking a deep breath, asked:

"Have you heard of the diamonds in Port Molov?"

"What happened a few months ago, I think you've heard about it."

"The port of Molov is close to closure because of this, not because of some pirate sneak attack."

"What am I looking for?"

"All I can tell you is that no matter what I'm looking for, the danger I'm facing is much greater than you think."

Qian Cangyi stood up, pointed to the documents piled up on the table with his right hand, and continued:

"This on your desk is as easy as yawning to me."

"For Pierce's death, I will compensate his family in full to ensure that they have a worry-free life in the future."

"As for you, Merman."

"You can kill me, but your family's corpses will be hung on the walls for public display in a month's time."

"Now, I'll give you a month to clear the case at hand, and then I'll have someone free to assist me."

"If you can't even do this little thing, I'll throw you out with your chair!"

After Qian Cangyi finished speaking, he walked out the door.

Suddenly he thought of something, stopped, turned his head and said:

"By the way, I recommend you don't do that, because I'm going to shoot you in the head before you shoot."

"I do what I say."

After Qian Cangyi dropped this sentence, he continued to walk towards the door.

Merman rested his right hand on the holster, but was slow to do so.

The moment the office door opened, the officers gathered at the door stepped back and made way for Qian Cangyi.

The officers looked at the back of Qian Cangyi leaving, and then at Merman, who was in the office with his hands propped on the table, his face full of anger, and then they all shook their heads.

"You guys have nothing to do! Didn't you hear what you just said? Merman suddenly looked back and roared.

The officers were frightened by the roar and fled.

After all the officers around him had left, Arthur entered the chief's office.

"Director, is what Marshall just said true?" Arthur's tone was cautious.

"Don't you have anything to do?" Merman looked back, his face unkind.

Arthur wanted to say more, but when he saw Merman's impatient wave, he turned away.

After leaving the police station, Qian Cangyi walked to the East Beacon Hospital, where Robert is currently being treated.

What Qian Cangyi said to Merman just now was not a simple cruel word, in fact, he was planning to do it.

When I first arrived in East Beacon City, I was unfamiliar with the place, so I naturally chose to keep a low profile.

Now that you are familiar with the environment, of course you are starting to use the resources at hand.

The exact extent of the Pope's power is not clear to the money warehouse, but there is absolutely no problem in removing the position of Director Merman.

Even if he can't be the head of the police station, he can parachute a puppet when the time comes, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

In fact, he did it for another purpose.

At the moment, he has no idea how the officers of the police station work and what they do during their working hours.

It was also impossible to get an accurate answer when he asked Merman, so he had to do it himself.

Why "Suffocating the Wilds" on the Asuka and "Dread Cave" in Sander's house suddenly started killing.

If "Suffocating Wilds" can be explained by delay, then the murder in "Cave of Fear" will be completely incorrect.

The only possibility is that someone is behind it, combined with the black bugs found outside Sander's house.

Because Sander's hands-on incident is not involved, there is only one possibility.

There are cultists' inner ghosts in the East Beacon Police Station!

The actions of Qian Cangyi and Robert were known to the inner ghost from beginning to end.

The inner ghost, who has been in contact with Samuel, is secretly manipulating, so that Samuel's paintings can play a role in killing people invisibly.

This is the most plausible explanation at the moment.

……

East Beacon Hospital.

Robert had woken up from his coma, his head wrapped around a bandage.

Qian Cangyi sat next to the hospital bed and sighed softly.

"I'm fine, but Pierce ......" Robert's voice was weak.

"Tell me about it." Qian Cangyi asked softly.

Rob nodded, then turned his head to look out the window, and said:

"I found Pierce, and we went to Sander's house together."

"Pierce kept asking me how to get in on the road, and I said I knew when I got to Sander's house."

"I had a little trouble when I entered the inner city, and it took some time for Pierce to be on the job for too short and he hadn't investigated the inner city case."

"Later, we went into Sander's house and found the collection room."

"While we were working on the Cave of Fear, I don't know why, it suddenly went dark outside the window."

When Robert said this, Qian Cangyi interrupted his narration and asked:

"Did you have a problem in the course of your research?"

"That's right." Rob nodded his head. ()
