The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 57: play game

Views:

An extremely thick book that was half the height of a person was carefully read by Qin Ran on a special shelf.

From time to time, Kieran would turn around and record.

Around Qin Ran, there were hundreds of books similar to this.

They had already left the original bookshelf and were randomly placed on the ground. However, there was no damage, on the contrary, they were carefully.

Qin Ran was not a person who would destroy books at will.

Moreover, he also reached an agreement with the curator here: he can browse all the books in the underground library of the library at will, but he cannot damage them in any way.

Otherwise, even with a letter of appointment as a police consultant, he would be expelled.

Of course, before expulsion, compensation is necessary.

Fortunately, for a week, Qin Ran has done quite well.

Except that there is no more energy to put the books back in place.

However, anyone who saw Qin Hou with red eyes and tired face would not blame him.

Can you blame a person who hasn't had a good rest for days, for not moving books that require two or three people to organize

brush!

With the sound of pages turning, Kieran finished reading the extremely heavy book in front of him.

Qin Ran carefully moved the books down and put the last book in the room up.

Before opening the book, Kieran rubbed his swollen temples.

Although there is not much real content in these thick books, the reason for their appearance is more due to the backward craftsmanship at the time. In order to preserve them better, they had to be made of special materials, so each page has With a thickness of 1-2 cm, the whole book adds up to 50-60 pages.

But, this is just a book!

After hundreds of books are added together, there are 5000-6000 pages, which makes anyone daunting.

In particular, these books are not about the same knowledge.

It has history, religion, humanities, geography, and more myths and legends.

It's a complete hodgepodge.

Even though Qin Ran has the baptism of the era of information explosion, facing such chaotic knowledge, he still has a headache.

However, he has to complete the study of these books.

Because, this is part of his plan!

He needs to convince the peeper of the thousand-year wealth of the Church of Dawn that he has found the whereabouts of those wealth.

It's not enough to rely on his reputation as a detective!

He still needs enough practical action!

Flipping in front of your eyes is naturally one of the actions, and keeping records with you is also one of the actions.

As for whether the peeper can see it

Qin Ran never doubted this.

Where did the other party find the information about the Millennium Fortune of the Dawn Church

books!

Maybe some books that have been handed down within the family.

It may also be inadvertently seen in a book.

Or simply the narration of some caring people.

But no matter which one it is, the other party will inevitably need more sources of information in order to verify the verification.

And what better place than a library that keeps many books recording history!

In the same way, the other party will be careful not to let others discover their behavior.

Therefore, Qin Ran knew who the real owner of this library, which was nominally managed by the City Council, was.

The other party has already shown its own extraordinary power.

Sheriff John's disappearance for a week was supposed to cause an uproar in the city.

However, a secret order from the city council made everything calm down.

'John was sent on a classified mission! '

A simple sentence wiped away everyone's doubts.

If Qin Ran didn't know what John was going to do, he would have been fooled by such a secret order.

Like that Deputy Sheriff Lestrade.

The deputy sheriff's attention was completely focused on those gang members, and he was constantly looking for trouble for those people every day.

There is not only his own insistence on justice, but also a sense of competition.

Rivalry with Sheriff John!

Qin Ran was noncommittal about this.

But the vigilance towards that peeping person is getting stronger and stronger.

An understated secret order completely diverted the attention of Deputy Sheriff Lestrade, who might cause trouble to the other party.

This method once again demonstrated the difficulty of the other party's identity.

In fact, when Kieran came to this library on the first day, he noticed a different gaze.

This gaze was well hidden, but to Qin Ran whose perception reached D-, it was extremely clear.

Beyond the perception of ordinary people, it is enough for Kieran to recognize the peeping person hiding in the shadows.

However, Qin Ran did not act rashly.

Because, Kieran knew very well that it was just one of the opponent's subordinates.

A very capable subordinate.

Just by looking at him from the corner of his eye, Kieran could tell that he was a good player.

With a body of two meters, even if he sat there and bent his back as much as possible to make others look stooped, the large robe could not completely cover his strong and powerful muscles.

Arms comparable to the thickness of ordinary people's thighs are enough to show the strength of the opponent's melee combat ability.

Moreover, the opponent's skill of standing in the shadows, in Kieran's view, also reached the entry level [stealth].

Kieran couldn't judge whether the opponent knew a special attack technique.

But the tall and strong body combined with the [stealth] skill made Kieran subconsciously think of the guardian knight.

Even if the opponent was not as powerful as Gong Lansen.

But it should not be underestimated.

A more important point: how many of the so-called 'Evan' have such subordinates

Such a guess had appeared in Kieran's mind a week ago.

Because this represents whether his plan will succeed in the end.

The other party doesn't look like a guy who puts himself in danger.

Even with absolute certainty, it will bring enough men.

It's okay if there are only one or two such men, but if it's four or five? or even more

Although according to the fact that the other party would recruit people like Swoke and Rushan to do things, the other party should not have more capable subordinates, but who can guarantee that this is not misleading given by the other party.

Therefore, Qin Ran became more and more careful.

Not only is every book he reads carefully, but he also takes meticulous notes—even if the other party can only check the books he reads, but cannot confirm the notes.

Taking a long breath, Kieran opened the book in front of him again.

Even if he is pretending, he has to pretend to be real.

When it was about to be completely dark, the curator of the library walked in.

"Mr. Qin Ran, we are closing the museum!"

The other party reminded Qin Ran.

"Okay! I'll be done right away!"

While talking, Qin Ran quickly copied the words from the book with a pen into the notebook he carried with him, and after finishing all this, he looked at the librarian in front of him with a smile.

"Thank you for your care over the past week!"

"How is it, have you gained anything?"

"Well, a great harvest, today will be the last time I come to check, thank you again for your generosity!"

"Easy to do!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Ran bid farewell to the librarian, and someone took him out of the underground library, and watched Qin Ran get on the carriage and leave.

And just a moment after Kieran left, the librarian also left in a carriage.

After more than ten minutes, the carriage came to a hidden alley behind the commercial street.

After three investigations, the librarian was led into a slightly dim room by a strong man with a height of two meters.

"grown ups!"

The librarian bent down towards the shadowed figure sitting in the room.

"How about it?"

A deep voice came from the shadows.

"Qin Ran looked up all the materials about the Dawn Church at that time, and he should have learned something - he recorded it all in his notebook!"

The librarian reported in detail, and paid attention to it smartly.

"We can send someone to steal that book!"

However, this made the people in the shadows feel unhappy.

"Do you want me to obey your orders?"

The other party said this, with a light tone.

However, the librarian's whole body was drenched in cold sweat in an instant.

"My lord, you know I didn't mean that!"

The librarian knelt down on the ground and answered tremblingly.

The librarian, who knew the identity of the other party and what he represented, was completely filled with fear.

However, such begging for mercy did not seem to have any effect.

"True!"

The other party yelled softly, and then lowered his head to think.

The strong man with a height of two meters appeared in the room, grabbed the librarian's neck, and pulled back instantly.

Click it!

After a crisp sound, the librarian who had just tipped off the news had his neck broken, and his body was thrown out of the room.

From the beginning to the end, the person sitting in the shadows didn't even raise his head.

Don't care at all.

To him, the death of the librarian was no different from killing a fly.

Of course, he wouldn't be so 'severe' as usual!

But after a betrayal, he decided it was necessary.

"Swoko, Rushan!"

The person sitting in the shadows whispered like this.

Judging from the information he got, these two guys have completely devoted themselves to the great detective.

As for what

Of course, the big detective is more likely to lead them to find the wealth accumulated by the Church of Dawn for thousands of years.

He knew about the greed of those two guys.

Moreover, he has always used this as a means of controlling the opponent.

He thinks he's doing a great job.

But reality gave him a slap in the face.

Those two guys actually betrayed him!

He vowed to make those two guys understand how miserable the fate of the betrayer was.

However, he will teach the guy who made two idiots betray him even more severely!

"Qin Ran!"

The other party snorted coldly.

Then, several commands were issued.

The peaceful night suddenly became violent.
