"Earl Wayne?!"
Qin Ran was surprised, but his heart was extremely peaceful.
When the behind-the-scenes man named 'Evan' slightly revealed his strength, Kieran narrowed down who the other party was to a few people, and Earl Wayne was the most suspicious of them.
After all, the other party's family has a great reputation in this city.
However, Qin Ran didn't have any evidence before.
And now
Of course it is unnecessary.
"As expected of the best detective in this city!"
Earl Wayne looked at the surprise on Kieran's face, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more and more intense. He said lightly, "I thought it would take you a week to help me find those things!"
Undoubtedly, the other party has regarded the wealth accumulated by the Church of Chenxi for thousands of years as his own.
"As a reward for you, I think you must really want to see your old friend!"
The other party didn't have any intention of waiting for Qin Ran's reply, so he patted his palm lightly.
Immediately, Sheriff John, with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth gagged, pushed out of the crowd and staggered to Qin Ran's side.
Sheriff John had clearly visible wounds - from whips and daggers.
Blood dripping!
However, Qin Ran was relieved.
His greatest fear was seeing the dead body of Sheriff John.
"How's it going, John?"
Qin Ran supported the opponent, tore off the rag from the opponent's mouth, and untied the rope from the opponent's hand.
"fine!"
Sheriff John shook his head with a bitter smile, his face full of sadness.
Obviously, the fact that the enemy was powerful made him disheartened.
Of course, more of the reasons came from himself - he didn't see the essence of Earl Wayne in advance, which was an extremely heavy blow to the upright sheriff!
Earl Wayne on the side didn't intend to stop Kieran from untying Sheriff John, just looked at Kieran indifferently, and allowed Kieran and Sheriff John to talk to each other.
After two full minutes, the earl spoke again.
"Detective Qin Ran, it seems that you are very satisfied with your reward!"
"So, I need to get my stuff!"
"I hope no more conflicts break out between us!"
During Earl Wayne's words, the surrounding people raised their guns one after another, and the two-meter-tall man walked towards Qin Ran, searching for his belongings.
Qin Ran immediately raised his hands.
This brought even more smiles to Earl Wayne's face.
He was very satisfied with Qin Ran's cooperation.
For this reason, he thought that Qin Ran could know more—as his reward to Qin Ran.
"Swoko and Rushan are already one step ahead of you!"
"Detective Qin Ran, the collaborators you selected are far less faithful to their oath than you imagined!"
"However, don't worry, I will make them pay the price!"
"After all, they are heinous guys, and they just did something that both people and gods hate—"
Count Wayne looked at Qin Ran whose face had changed, and the extra smile could no longer be tolerated, making him chuckle aloud, and then continued to say slowly, "Attack St. Paul's School!"
"You can't do this..."
"Of course I can!"
"In this city, I can do anything I want!"
Earl Wayne interrupted Qin Ran with a cold and decisive tone.
Immediately, a worried and painful look appeared on Qin Ran's face.
This made Earl Wayne laugh out loud.
"Besides, you, a guy who is also blinded by greed, what right do you have to show such an expression?"
"Put away your hypocritical pity, you still have more important tasks to do!"
"Pathfinder—this title is very suitable for you and Sheriff John!"
Earl Wayne ignored the flintlock guns and daggers he found together, but took the notepad with quite important information, flipped through it, and confirmed that it was all related to the Church of Dawn, but there was no more specific information. After the advance route, he gave orders directly.
On the premise that the two traitors Swoko and Rushan took the first step, Earl Wayne had no time to sort out the information in this notepad.
However, Earl Wayne has full confidence that he has everything under control.
Just like always.
As for why not catch those two traitors first
Earl Wayne believed that Qin Ran was a smart person and would never tell the two idiots everything.
And the two idiots who thought they knew everything were just misled and became each other's pathfinders!
For this, Earl Wayne expressed his appreciation.
Therefore, he let Qin Ran and the police chief take on the same task.
Everything is so interesting, isn't it
Count Wayne looked at Qin Ran who had an extremely ugly face, and laughed again.
Indifferent and elegant.
Like the nobles described in any book.
The manhole cover was opened again, and Earl Wayne's three people went down first. After confirming that there was no safety, it was Kieran's turn, Sheriff John, and then the two-meter-tall subordinate.
Earl Wayne was the last to walk down.
Among the twelve subordinates, eight had already lit the oil lamps, illuminating the dim sewer, and the remaining three surrounded Earl Wayne.
And that two-meter-tall, extremely muscular man stood behind Kieran and Sheriff John.
"True, my most capable subordinate!"
"He has saved me no less than ten times, and his opponent has been torn in half!"
"Detective Qin Ran, Sheriff John, I think you are absolutely unwilling to face Tohru's anger!"
Under the protection of his subordinates, Earl Wayne appeared calm and unhurried.
The strong man named Drew showed a ferocious smile in cooperation, and under the aim of nearly ten flintlock muzzles, this smile was full of deterrence.
Sheriff John subconsciously wanted to say something.
However, it was stopped by Qin Ran.
The latter's lips moved slightly, and finally turned into a sigh.
Sheriff John is not stupid, and he is not old-fashioned. He knows very well that if he refutes something or does something, the gunmen around him will never mind teaching him a lesson.
Maybe it won't be aimed at the vitals, but even if it is aimed at the limbs, he can't bear it.
But the only persistence in his heart made him angry.
The cruelty of reality and the persistence of ideals.
Let Sheriff John be tortured.
Especially, after he chose to compromise.
Seeing Sheriff John's expression, Qin Ran felt helpless in his heart.
It's not about the situation in front of him—the situation in front of him is under his control.
It's hard to speak.
Although he really wanted to tell the other party everything, his rationality told Qin Ran what he should do!
"let's go!"
Sheriff John, half-supported by Qin Ran, walked forward.
And this scene made Earl Wayne clap his palms.
"I love working with smart people!"
Earl Wayne said this, and then winked at the people around him.
Immediately, except for the eleven people named Tru, they spread out in a unique formation, not only faintly protecting Earl Wayne, but also not ignoring the surrounding changes.
Moreover, it can be seen that the task of protecting Earl Wayne is even more important.
Each of these people is expressionless, their actions are as rigid as machines, and their empty eyes have no brilliance, as if they are dead bodies that can move.
Death!
Seeing this scene, Qin Ran and Sheriff John looked at each other at the same time.
Both of them saw the answer in each other's eyes.
Kieran had heard about such an existence from the guardian knight, but he didn't expect to see it so soon.
'If you meet dead soldiers, don't pester them—because they only intend to complete the task, even if they exchange their lives with you! '
The words of the guardian knight echoed in Kieran's ears.
However, Qin Ran has no intention of changing the plan.
When making this plan, Kieran had already thought of the worst.
In Kieran's view, the appearance of the slain is not a trouble.
The same is true of Sheriff John next to him.
Even, it was much better than what Qin Ran expected!
At least, Sheriff John was wounded, but he didn't have a broken leg or a disability - Kieran understood why Earl Wayne did this.
The other party never thought of staying alive.
Once he found the wealth left by the so-called Dawn Church, he and Sheriff John would definitely die.
Similarly, Kieran also planned this way.
As long as you 'find' the wealth left by the Dawn Church, it will be the death date of Earl Wayne and his subordinates.
Qin Ran walked in the front with the help of Sheriff John.
A strong stench hit his face.
The feeling of slippery underfoot makes people unwilling to think about what they have stepped on.
In fact, this is a semi-abandoned sewer.
If it is a real sewer, it will be ten times worse than the environment here.
And the people walking in it, including Qin Ran and Sheriff John, including those dead men, didn't change their faces.
In Earl Wayne's hand, he did not know when there was an extra handkerchief covering his face, but his face was extremely embarrassing.
The strong man named Tru was also uncomfortable.
From time to time, some slang words were muttered behind Qin Ran and Sheriff John.
Although Kieran couldn't tell the difference, naturally it wouldn't be a good word.
And under such circumstances, a group of people walked for nearly an hour.
The stench became more and more intense.
Qin Ran's nose has lost its intuition - he discovered for the first time that too strong perception is not a good thing.
However, Qin Ran didn't complain at all.
Because, the 'cemetery' he chose for the other party is coming soon.
