"I need you to explain to me the whole story of the case in detail!"
Looking at the extremely simple description of the side missions, Qin Ran said slowly.
"Aren't you looking for Hunter's daughter? The guy who treats all the policemen as his servants!"
Sheriff John glanced at Qin Ran and snorted disdainfully, expressing his dissatisfaction with Hunter.
However, he immediately told Qin Ran everything he knew.
"The body was found this morning by a drunk, near the train station!"
"It's like throwing garbage, throwing it in a corner!"
"I have come into contact with many vicious guys, but none of them would treat corpses like this!"
Speaking of the murder case in front of him, Sheriff John became irritable again, subconsciously lit a cigarette, and handed one to Qin Ran.
However, Qin Ran refused.
He picked up the pipe in his hand and gestured to the other party.
Even though it was an empty pipe with no tobacco in it, he had no matches in his hand.
But still convinced Sheriff John.
"Pipes are too troublesome, far less convenient than cigarettes, especially the boat brand cigarettes, they are very good, you should try them!"
Sheriff John grumbled and went straight to lighting his cigarette and puffing.
After taking two consecutive breaths, he continued.
"I'm short of manpower right now, if you're willing to help, I'd appreciate it!"
"This is the certificate I signed. It will allow you to enter the church school where Hunter's daughter is studying. I hope you can gain something!"
While talking, Sheriff John picked up a pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.
Ten seconds later, the other party handed the paper to Qin Ran.
I saw it said-
Qin Ran, a police consultant, was specially hired by the police station.
Sheriff: John
Chief: Patrick
1861.4.1
Below the signature is a police stamp.
Looking at the signature belonging to the director, Qin Ran looked at John in surprise.
"That bastard went on a wedding trip two weeks ago, left everything to me, and then a headache happened!"
John took a deep breath on his cigarette.
"I thought you would send someone to help me find someone!"
Qin Ran waved the letter of appointment in his hand.
"I told you, I am very short of manpower now! Extremely short!"
John said angrily.
Faced with the other party's emphasis, Kieran shrugged.
Obviously, this is the limit of the other party's help - if you want to get more help, you must complete side missions.
This is somewhat different from his previous guess, but the essence has not changed.
"Regardless of triggering side missions or not, you should get a letter of appointment!"
"However, players who have not triggered it will choose to go directly to the school where Altili is studying!"
"If anything is going to happen there, I need to hurry up!"
Thinking of this, Qin Ran immediately stood up.
He needs to hurry up and go to the corpse throwing site near the train station to have a look.
After that, regardless of whether there is any gain or not, just in case, you should go to the mission school quickly—Hunter once mentioned that Altili would take the carriage to the school on time every day, and spend the rest of the time, including weekends, with him. Wife's view!
Think of the box under the bed of the missing Miss Artillery Hunter.
Qin Ran thought that the school would be a very important place.
There may not be any direct clues, but at least he can find out who taught the missing Miss Altily Hunter.
And this may be the next clue to find the other party.
"See you!"
Qin Ran waved his hand at John, and walked out without waiting for the other party's response.
Straight out of the police station, Qin Ran summoned a carriage as soon as he raised his hand.
"TRAIN STATION!"
Qin Ran ordered the coachman like this.
…
Noisy crowd, messy crowd, smelly, dirty ground.
After getting off the carriage, Qin Ran immediately saw another side of the city.
There is no well-dressed, peaceful smile.
There are hardships and patience just to live on.
There are people who want to make a living everywhere.
Young men working as coolies, middle-aged women buying and selling groceries, shouting newsboys, and beggars.
There are also some guys who blend in with the people around them, but are completely different from each other.
They wear shabby clothes, but their palms are extremely clean and flexible. They often squat or stand in a corner, looking at the passing travelers. Once they find a target, they will follow them quietly. With those clean and flexible hands , to get the harvest.
Under Kieran's watchful eyes, these people have already completed several thefts.
And their identities no longer need to be doubted.
Thief!
However, Qin Ran didn't mind his own business, he had more important things to do.
Qin Ran scanned his surroundings.
Soon, Kieran found his goal.
The uniformed policeman is still very conspicuous here.
Even in a corner.
Qin Ran walked over.
"Stand back, you can't get close here for the time being!"
Seeing Qin Ran walking in with a long box on his back, the policeman who stayed behind immediately said loudly.
This is a young man, even if he is left alone, his body stands upright.
Serious and responsible, and should have a sense of justice.
While guessing like this, Qin Ran took out his letter of appointment.
"You are Your Excellency Qin Ran, I have heard your name before, hello, I am Karl!"
After the young policeman carefully checked Qin Ran's appointment letter, a smile appeared on his face.
Once again, the identities that the game arranges play a role.
Of course, in the end it was possible to pass because of the letter of appointment in hand.
Qin Ran put away the appointment letter and asked.
"Hi, I'm Qin Ran!"
"Can I go in and have a look now?"
"certainly!"
The other party gave an affirmative answer and turned sideways.
Qin Ran walked in.
This is an alley that is dirtier and smellier than the outside.
The alley is not wide, it can be said to be very narrow and narrow, and at the end of the alley is a high wall, which seems to be the back wall of a certain building.
Most people would not come to such a place.
If the drunk hadn't discovered it by accident, I'm afraid the corpse would not necessarily be discovered even if it rotted and stinks.
Kieran checked the ground.
While walking into the alley, the skill [Tracking] was activated.
Messy footprints.
Remnants of blood.
They appeared in front of Kieran one by one.
But there is no more effect. The footprints are messy and covered continuously, and they can no longer be distinguished.
Apart from telling Qin Ran where the corpse appeared, the blood stains had no effect at all.
Qin Ran frowned subconsciously.
This is not what he wants.
He looked at the walls on both sides, and found a touch of red on the wall on the left.
blood!
Qin Ran walked over and looked at the bright red.
It was running fast in my mind.
"There is no trace of dragging on the ground, the murderer entered here carrying the corpse!"
"In order to cover the corpse, a sack must be put on!"
"But the blood of the corpse should have been soaked a little, that's why such bloodstains are left behind!"
"However, it is not soaked much, otherwise, the ground will not be without traces of dripping!"
"This shows that the distance from where the murderer killed the lady is not far from here!"
"Moreover, in order to hide the lady's identity, the murderer intentionally destroyed her face!"
Then, Kieran gestured to the height of the bloodstain.
"The opponent is not tall, but he should be very strong, otherwise he would not be able to carry a female corpse!"
"Also, the opponent rubbed against the wall on the left, which means that the opponent is carrying the female corpse on his left shoulder. The opponent's left arm should be muscular and more powerful, and he is left-handed!"
"The other party must have great hatred for cutting that lady open, and must have mastered certain slaughtering techniques!"
"Leaving aside the possibility of the other party showing off, why didn't the other party bury and burn the corpse in a safer way?"
Qin Ran asked himself.
A dead body was abandoned here, even though the alley was hidden.
But it is definitely not as good as burial and burning.
unless…
It is more convenient and concealed for the other party to do this!
No doubt at all!
Qin Ran looked out of the alley. Even standing in the depths of the alley, he could clearly see the coolies carrying goods in the distance.
It seemed that the people who were begging for life in the distance were completely in line with his speculation.
"Carl, I've discovered something!"
Qin Ran said to the young policeman.
"What did you find?"
The young policeman was surprised. Even after hearing about Qin Ran's reputation, he still couldn't believe that Qin Ran discovered it so quickly.
"The murderer should be slightly taller than you, but he is strong and left-handed—go there and ask who has been with a red-haired woman recently, and if he was a butcher or a butcher's apprentice before, you might find something unexpected !"
Qin Ran pointed to the coolies in the distance.
It is more convincing to ask about the identity of the police than him.
It is also more intimidating - this is what Kieran wants.
If the murderer is really a coolie, such deterrence is enough to make the other party extremely flustered and give away his feet.
"Hmm... ok!"
The young policeman hesitated, but he still did what Qin Ran said.
Undoubtedly, the reputation of the game identity once again played a role.
And everything was as Kieran expected.
Moments later, there was a commotion in the place where the coolies had gathered.
A short but strong guy suddenly pulled out a dagger and hijacked a thin man.
People dodge one after another.
The young cops confronted each other, but failed to control the situation.
On the contrary, the other party became more and more manic, and the dagger in his hand had cut the neck of the kidnapped man.
Blood flowed out, and exclamations broke out again.
And Qin Ran was ready to make a move.
As Karl, the purpose of drawing the other party out has been achieved, and naturally there should be no casualties.
However, the next moment, Qin Ran frowned slightly.
A palm was approaching his coat pocket in the chaos.
