Chapter 407

So neat!

Not only is the furniture neatly arranged, but the floor is also clean.

It doesn't look like a murder scene that has been assassinated at all, but it looks like a good place to live in. It's not luxurious furniture, but it's uniquely crafted, and the performance of the subtleties is enough for Qin Ran to know the value of these furniture. Far beyond the ones that are extravagant in appearance.

A blanket made of animal skins was placed under the desk.

Judging by the coat color and skin texture, it should be bear skin.

It is soft and comfortable to step on.

If it is barefoot, there must be a different taste.

However, it is a pity that this bearskin blanket is now covered with sticky and foul-smelling green juice, which makes people frown subconsciously when they see it.

The fluids were slid off the chair.

Qin Ran's gaze shifted, the documents on the desk were neatly placed in one corner, and only a cup of cold tea was placed within easy reach.

"Drinking hot tea, sitting in a chair, waiting for news?"

Immediately, such a picture appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

As for what news to wait for?

Naturally, it was Herbert's news.

This was the only thing Qin Ran could think of that made Ye Zhong worry.

It's just that the mayor, who was disguised by Ye Zhong in front of him, was finally killed without waiting for the news he wanted to wait for.

The person who started was very clean and neat.

Not a single trace was left outside Ye Zhong's body.

And the body of the night species turned into a green thick juice after death.

Simply put, there are no traces left.

But this is just from the perspective of ordinary people.

In the field of view of [Tracking], Kieran recognized a pair of footprints that were different from others.

This pair of footprints is very characteristic, only the front half of the soles.

Mixed in a bunch of footprints, it is really very conspicuous.

"Standing on tiptoe, relying on the cover of the shadow, slowly approached behind the target, and then...killed him with one blow?"

Qin Ran's eyes followed the footprints, and his brain kept thinking.

But some places are not sure.

The night species should have a deep understanding of human beings.

Even as an understanding of food, it is very necessary.

Therefore, they should be very aware of the importance of a mayor's post.

To put it simply, it is impossible for an ordinary night species to hold such an important position.

It must be a powerful night seed.

Even if it can't reach the level of power of Bartos, it must be far beyond ordinary night species, and such a night species will be killed without resistance?

Qin Ran didn't forget that those green flames exploded on their own.

Even if the green flame cannot be manipulated, self-destruction should be possible, right?

With doubts, Kieran set his eyes on the teacup.

He lowered his head and sniffed.

The cold tea had already lost its smell.

"Has the tea been checked?"

Qin Ran asked.

"It's just some tranquilizers, not poison!"

Rodu replied.

"Sedative medicine?"

Qin Ran, who didn't get the expected answer, narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire room, including every corner.

Finally, his gaze settled on the corner of the corridor.

A small incense burner is placed there.

Qin Ran walked over, opened the lid, and the smell of exhaustion wafted out.

Without careful identification, Kieran was able to judge with the [Medical. Drug Knowledge] [Specialized Poison] that the incense inside was mixed with nerve-numbing drugs.

"Who's in charge of this?"

Qin Ran pointed to the incense burner and asked.

"It should be His Excellency the 'Mayor' himself. Ever since the mayor's wife passed away unfortunately, he has been living alone and has no servants to take care of him!"

Luo Du answered very simply.

Apparently, the new sheriff is not ignorant of this place.

"is that so?"

"Do you have to live as a widow in order to hide your secret?"

"Go to the residence of the Secretary-General!"

After Qin Ran talked to himself, he said directly.

"OK!"

Rodu nodded.

In the next two hours, accompanied by Luo Du, Qin Ran investigated the remaining three murder scenes.

These three murder scenes are no different from the murder scene of the Lord Mayor who Ye Zhong pretended to be.

They all rely on the paralysis of poisonous smoke, and then kill them with one blow.

If I had to say something different, Ye Zhong, who was pretending to be the chief of the police station, didn't seem to like burning incense, so the assassin simply used another method: poisoning the wine.

"Have you discovered anything?"

After returning to the carriage, Luo Du asked impatiently.

"The assassin knew the targets well, not only knew their living habits, but also all their action arrangements, and used them reasonably-the assassin knew that these night species occupying high-level positions in Burr City were waiting for an important news , such waiting must be difficult, these night species want to make themselves wait patiently, they must rely on some auxiliary items, and according to their own habits, they become tea, incense and wine!"

"It's just that in some places, the assassin seems to have made a mistake!"

Qin Ran said.

"What important news?"

"Is there any flaw?"

Luo Du asked subconsciously.

"What happened last night?"

Qin Ran asked back.

"It's Your Excellency..."

"However, we did not find any additional traces at the scene, not only from the assassins, but also from those who reported the news!"

Luo Du was stunned for a while, and then puzzled appeared on his face again.

"The assassin left traces, but because of his skills, the traces became very shallow and subtle, so you didn't notice it!"

Qin Ran never expected any decent technology in a world where gunpowder had just emerged. Solving cases here relies more on experience and guesswork.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the business of bounty hunters and mercenaries will be good.

Because, many people don't believe results that don't match their guesses.

In order to make the result conform to their guess, they naturally wouldn't mind spending some money to get someone to help.

"What about the reporter?"

"It wouldn't be dereliction of duty, would it?"

Luo Du, who obviously guessed something, was joking.

"If it is in danger of life, it is likely to be negligent of its duty—Your Excellency, you now need to find a middle-level and low-level government official who is different from the usual pattern and appears panicked. He has the ability to directly see Our Lord Mayor, Secretary General, Speaker of the House of Commons, and one of the police chiefs are unsuspected!"

"Of course, it is now the assassin's target, so I suggest that you better 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.

"This is for sure!"

"Facing such an unknown assassin, can I ask you for help?"

Luo Du nodded first, and then invited Qin Ran to help again.

"Can!"

For the side mission, Kieran would not object, and simply agreed.

What's more, Kieran really wanted to see what it would be like to be able to assign a night seed similar to a low-level fire element.

'This is a imitation of a great thing'!

The remarks of [Fire Clamp] and [Eye of the Fallen] filled Kieran's heart with curiosity.

"Don't worry, I will give you enough rewards!"

Seeing that Qin Ran agreed, Luo Du jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and began to order his subordinates loudly.

There is no doubt that the new sheriff has a definite goal.

When the carriage moved forward again, there were already two more carriages full of policemen behind them, and behind the two carriages, there was a group of policemen with firearms on their backs.

Under the command of Luo Du, the crowd marched towards a residential area in mighty force.

However, before approaching the residential area, there was a loud noise——

boom!

That is……

Shelling!
