Unlike the first corpse that was swollen with bubbles, the six corpses in front of them seemed to have just died and were thrown into the lake in front of them.
Moreover, based on Qin Ran's experience, the six corpses in front of him should have no internal organs.
Although the ribs support the chest cavity, the abdomen is extremely dry.
However, even so, the chest muscles and abdominal muscles of one of the shirtless corpses are still very conspicuous, and the arms on both sides are even thicker.
Even if this person is lying here, he still looks very powerful.
Not only this corpse, but also the other five corpses, all of which had obvious signs of training.
Especially palms!
There are calluses on the index finger, thumb, tiger's mouth, palm, and back of the palm.
To be able to form such calluses, in addition to using firearms for a long time and practicing unarmed combat, one should also be familiar with cold weapons.
At least he is very familiar with daggers and short knives.
The thickness of the calluses at the tiger's mouth cannot be formed without ten years of practice.
Putting down the corpse's palm, Qin Ran squeezed the corpse's mouth open.
The black mouth immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
No teeth.
Tongue is gone too.
Teeth should be knocked out one by one.
And the tongue
It was pulled out directly.
Moreover, it also brought out a complete pair of boots.
The operator is undoubtedly very skilled, not only making these people suffer, but also making these people experience fear.
Qin Ran could completely imagine the process of the internal organs being 'pulled' out of the body. What these people endured was not just the fear of death.
There is a deeper level of despair.
Such despair pervaded them all.
In such despair, the corpse could not be twisted too much.
but…
Judging from the expressions of the six corpses in front of them, they were very calm.
It's like passing away peacefully after seeing through everything.
Unreasonable!
unless…
Thinking of something, Qin Ran quietly erased the traces, silently withdrew from the crowd, stood at a marginal position, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"See it?"
The female forensic doctor came over and asked in a low voice.
There was a trace of horror on the female forensic doctor's face.
Obviously, a female forensic doctor with considerable professional knowledge also found something wrong with these corpses.
"Um."
Qin Ran nodded.
"I don't know who did it."
"It's even scarier than the butcher in my memory!"
"I can't imagine how a person is pulled out by his tongue, and a complete set of internal organs is pulled out. Could it be that they are pulling the plane with their tongue?"
"But it's hard to pull the tongue apart from licking, right?"
The female forensic doctor said with lingering fear.
Faced with such a question, Qin Ran remained silent.
Because, he had already seen the female detective walking towards him.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
The female detective said directly.
"I regret what happened to them."
Qin Ran sighed.
"Have you seen any of these people?"
The female detective took out six photos.
The shot is blurry and the angle is from top to bottom.
Undoubtedly, they were all surveillance shots taken by the probe.
But no matter how vague it was, Kieran was able to confirm that the people in these photos were the deceased he had just seen, and the surrounding scenery, judging from his excellent memory, should be... Elm Street!
That's where his identity lives.
"This should be Elm Street."
"But I haven't seen them before."
Qin Ran told the truth.
Apart from just confirming the bodies, this was the first time he had really seen them.
"Yeah?"
The female detective looked at Qin Ran suspiciously.
In the eyes of the female detective, Qin Ran in front of her was too suspicious.
Wherever you go, there will be cases.
Moreover, it is not a small case.
Every time it's a big case where someone dies.
Especially this time.
As soon as the other party came to the 'Water and Sun Sanatorium', a major incident broke out in the entire sanatorium that had never happened since the beginning of construction.
Even 'Moon City' is extremely rare.
Seven corpses!
You know, those are seven corpses!
call!
The female detective took a deep breath.
"do you know?"
"I didn't have a good impression of an upscale community like Elm Street at first. I always thought it would be a hassle to deal with the people in it."
"But today is an exception."
"Because, the perfect security system, which is far more secretive than the public, captured everything I wanted."
"They showed up on Elm Street for you!"
"When the murderer who thought he was a clown appeared at your place, they appeared there together, spying on you."
With that said, the female detective took out another stack of photos.
These photos capture these people from multiple angles.
Date, time less clearly visible.
Everything is just like what the female detective said, these people should be the part of the "peepers" that Qin Ran perceived before.
"What can this represent?"
"Do you think I killed them?"
"I've spent most of my time with you and met that 'package'."
"Then, I went to the morgue to visit my 'ex-wife' and met the guy who made the 'package', although there was a period of time out of your sight, but I don't have time to finish this thing?"
"What's more, I've been with Rose since then."
Qin Ran asked back.
The female forensic doctor on the side nodded repeatedly, testifying for Qin Ran.
She also didn't think Qin Ran was the murderer.
Although she had only known this person for two days, other than being eccentric, indifferent, stingy, lacking compassion, irritating, and somewhat mysterious, it was impossible for him to kill someone.
Especially this kind of stranger.
"certainly!"
"Otherwise, will I stand and talk to you?"
"I copied you back a long time ago!"
The female detective nodded, then, pointing to the corpses, she continued to ask: "But, do you dare to say that these things have nothing to do with you?"
"Who knows?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe not."
"It's like when the sun shines on me, I feel warm, but I don't think I have this warmth alone."
Qin Ran shook his head and said.
"Are you claiming your innocence?"
The female detective thought about Qin Ran's philosophical words just now, and asked subconsciously.
She thought that Qin Ran should have discovered something by saying this.
Just like the famous detectives she knew, after discovering the key points, they would always say a famous saying.
Of course, there are also famous sayings.
So, those are not famous.
While the female detective was looking forward to it, Kieran shook his head again.
"No."
"I'm emphasizing that it's time for afternoon tea."
"Everyone probably doesn't have time to eat those snacks today. I don't think it should be wasted. I would like to propose to Ms. Sinise that you give me all those snacks and take them home with you."
Qin Ran pointed to the cook who was pushing a trolley full of snacks and fruits in the distance.
"you… "
Suddenly, the female detective widened her eyes.
If eyes could kill, Kieran would be crushed to pieces at this time.
"I'll keep an eye on you!"
"If I find out what dishonorable role you played in this matter, I will definitely copy you back!"
The female detective finished speaking angrily, turned and left.
In the distance, a police car loaded with frogmen is slowly approaching.
Seven bodies were found in this small lake, so it was natural to search the entire small lake.
Because no one knows whether there will be important clues in it.
Or…
Are there any dead bodies.
"Are you deliberately taking revenge on what Grady said to you upstairs?"
The female forensic doctor looked at the frogmen who got out of the car and asked softly.
Qin Ran smiled disdainfully.
revenge
How could he be so narrow-minded
If he had been careful, he would not have fought back with words, but would have kicked his face directly, making the opponent's face full of peach blossoms.
Look at that disdainful expression.
The female forensic doctor became more and more suspicious.
She should have understood, but Qin Ran didn't bother to do this, but for some reason, when she saw Qin Ran's expression, a voice in the dark told her not to offend Qin Ran, or it would be very miserable.
For such intuition, the female forensic doctor believed very much.
Because, she has discovered that she is different from a long time ago.
so…
"Do you need those snacks, fruit and afternoon tea?"
"I'll go and tell Sinise, and she'll definitely say yes."
The female forensic doctor said instinctively.
"Thanks."
Qin Ran smiled and replied politely.
Then, when the female forensic doctor was walking towards Sinise, Kieran turned around and walked towards the main building of the nursing home again.
He didn't think the female detective would find anything in the lake.
Because, what the other party wants them to see, they have already seen.
No more unexpected discoveries were possible.
And now
He needs to ask the other person why he is doing this.
Not why these people were killed.
But why did he go to great lengths to let him, who happened to be here, see this scene.
the identities of those bodies.
time of occurrence.
It was too much of a coincidence.
The female detective found it incredible.
What's more, Qin Ran never believed in coincidences.
Quickly walked up the stairs.
Standing in front of door 404, Qin Ran knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Please come in."
In a voice that was much stronger than before, Kieran pushed open the door.
Adams, who was still lying on the bed just now, had already got out of bed with a cane at this time, and was standing by the window, watching what happened downstairs.
The corners of Adams' mouth slightly raised.
It seems to have seen a good show.
"You seem satisfied?"
Qin Ran cut to the chase and asked directly.
"Um."
"very satisfied."
"After all, I have waited for so many years and finally saw this scene."
"I couldn't be happier."
Unexpectedly, Adams nodded directly, and also let out a hearty laugh.
"Why?"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
"Why do you say?"
"You, who have the same experience as me, actually ask why?"
Adams looked at Qin Ran in surprise, and then, as if thinking of something, Adams looked at Qin Ran with a look of pity that made Qin Ran frown.
"Poor man."
"It was kept in the dark from beginning to end."
"You're afraid..."
"You never knew Mary's identity, did you?"
Adams turned around completely and looked at Qin Ran face to face in a very formal way.
Mary!
An ex-wife with this identity!
Qin Ran was surprised from the bottom of his heart.
It wasn't that he was surprised by Mary's identity. After learning a few words from the female detective, Qin Ran knew that her ex-wife was not simple.
But what really surprised Qin Ran was that Adams in front of him had a relationship with his ex-wife.
The secret room of the morgue!
A dismembered corpse!
Mary, dismembered!
Mary's true identity!
And Adams in front of me!
A series of valuable clues began to form a clearer thread in Qin Ran's mind.
However, he was not anxious to find the most critical point.
He looked at Adams and asked as if confirming.
"I need to confirm one thing. Is the Mary you are talking about my ex-wife?"
"Except this Mary?"
"Do you know any other Marys?"
"If this is the case, I think you have already died without a place to bury you. It is much worse than those guys outside the window."
Adams said with a smile.
"Is their death related to Mary?"
Qin Ran frowned.
The other party's words didn't seem to have any substantive content, but they revealed extraordinary clues.
Mary is dead.
But Mary, who is dead, can still manipulate the life and death of living people.
Evil spirit
Or evil spirits
Qin Ran guessed in his heart.
As for wandering souls, ghosts, and fierce spirits
The previous two types of undead creatures of that level were extremely difficult to face ordinary people, let alone want to influence the six trained people downstairs, and although the fierce spirit can attack one of the six downstairs people It poses a threat, but it is powerless to face six at the same time.
It could only be evil spirits!
Or high-level evil spirits!
Evil spirits transformed from human souls
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
Evil spirits themselves are unique existences, especially this kind of evil spirits that completely evolved from humans and became without any items, have extremely special abilities.
Coupled with his previous guess about the other party's identity.
If this guess is true...
"An unprecedented enemy!"
Qin Ran lowered his head slightly, and in the place Adams couldn't see, there was a trace of brilliance in his squinted eyes.
Looking at Qin Ran who lowered his head as if thinking, Adams smiled again.
Anyone faced with something like this needs to think.
Even that husband is no exception.
"There is some connection."
"But before that, I want you to hear what happened to me, which is..."
"Feel sorry."
"Do not listen."
"waste time."
Adams seemed to want to tell what happened to him, but Kieran interrupted him before he could speak.
"You may not understand what kind of world you will come into contact with from my story."
"A real world that you can't even imagine, hidden under this false world."
"It's brutal and full of treasure."
"Could it be..."
"Don't you want to gain a power that ordinary people can't have?"
Adams explained.
He looked at Qin Ran with a very calm expression on his face.
He knew that Kieran would definitely agree.
No one is without curiosity.
And no one will refuse to be different.
As long as he proves the existence of that world.
Although it would consume a lot of energy, his body would have to rest for several days once he used it, but in order to make the existing husband in front of him believe in that world, he had to do this.
He needs to win the other party into this world.
The latter to be precise...
Join this real world and belong to their camp.
So, he raised his hands, raised them high above his head, and shouted with all his strength: "Open your eyes and see clearly, this power that ordinary people cannot possess!"
A trace of cold air began to appear.
Sensing this trace of negative energy, Qin Ran smiled, raised his left hand, and snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
In the crisp sound, a flame appeared out of thin air.
The scorching high temperature swept the entire room with air waves, and the coldness dissipated in an instant. Adams even slumped to the ground, staring up at the flame burning in the void, dumbfounded.
Qin Ran looked down at the other party and said calmly.
"A power that ordinary people cannot possess?"
"Is this what you mean?"
