The heavy rain was heavy and the sky was getting dark, but it didn't hinder the enthusiasm of those newspaper reporters in the slightest. .
They stared wide-eyed in the direction of the playground of St. Paul's School.
A wooden stake with a height of three or four meters stands there. A head is placed on the top of the wooden stake, and a pierced body is placed on the lower part. The arms and legs are placed on the wooden stake in proportion. On both sides of the pile, looking at this wooden pile from a distance, it seems to see a little giant with deformed growth.
But anyone who gets close can feel the blood dripping from it.
Cruel dismemberment!
Weird placement!
For ordinary people, it is an unavoidable fear, but for these reporters, it is a rare material. One by one, they put their umbrellas on their shoulders, pressed their right wrists on the umbrella handles, and held pencils in their hands. Everything was described quickly, and some reporters who completed the description one step earlier focused their attention on the surrounding police officers, especially after seeing John walking down from the carriage.
"Sheriff, what do you think of this murder?"
"Sheriff, is the murderer provoking the police by doing this?"
"Sheriff, are you confident in catching such a murderer?"
…
The harsh questioning is more unacceptable than the bad weather.
John, who was already in a heavy heart because of another murder case, was completely downcast at this time. If it wasn't for the scruples that there would be bad reports, John would definitely not mind letting these boring guys taste the power of his fists .
And now
"Carl? Carl?"
The sheriff yelled.
The young policeman quickly ran out of the campus.
"Sheriff!"
Carl, who was drenched all over by the heavy rain, saluted.
"Extend the warning range by 50 meters, and anyone who crosses the warning range at will will be taken back as a suspect!"
ordered the sheriff.
"yes!"
Carl answered loudly.
Then, there was a burst of chaos in front of St. Paul's School.
"No!"
"You can't do that!"
"We have the right to know!"
…
Journalists protested, but to no avail.
Under Karl's leadership, a dozen or so police officers who were doused in the rain seemed to be a moving wall, pushing the reporters away step by step.
Among them, a few grumpy ones don't mind brandishing their own rubber sticks.
John saw this scene.
If it is normal, he will stop it.
But at this moment, he will not.
It's not revenge, it's just for the convenience of action.
While holding an umbrella, John helped the old nun get out of the carriage, and said as if he was self-contained: "2567, please!"
"Um."
In the pouring rain, a voice sounded.
John subconsciously followed the owner of the voice, but saw nothing.
Although it was not the first time such a situation had been encountered, our sheriff was still amazed.
However, he did not forget business.
"Sister Monie, do you need a rest?"
"I'll help you back to your room!"
John said so.
But the old nun refused such an offer.
"I want to see the corpse!"
"Uh... ok!"
Facing the resolute tone of the old nun, the sheriff finally chose to compromise.
But in the bottom of my heart, I have already made preparations.
The corpse appeared in St. Paul's School. If it had nothing to do with the school itself, John would not believe anything.
Before, the old nun had already been stimulated by the corpse of her student Totti. If she was further stimulated, no one in her prime would be able to accept it, let alone an old man.
Everything went as John expected.
People who die on the school grounds are people from St. Paul's.
It was someone Qin Ran knew.
Lide, the captain of St. Paul's school guards, is a middle-aged man who is loyal to the old nun and responsible for the school.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was dismembered on the spot.
Looking at the opponent's body, Kieran scanned his surroundings.
But nothing was found.
The unparalleled level of [Tracking] has been able to find the traces left by some special existences, but it has not found the traces left by the murderer.
"Isn't it some special existence, or the category of 'normal people', who just borrowed the cover of the rainy day to complete this murder?"
Qin Ran looked at the ground again.
The rammed ground was flooded with rainwater. Although Qin Ran could still trace some footprints, these traces quickly faded under the washing of the rainwater.
There is no doubt that these footprints were left by later policemen.
As for the murderer
I'm afraid it's long gone.
Qin Ran raised his head and looked at the stake again.
"A wooden stake three or four meters high has a cross-sectional diameter of more than 15 centimeters. There is no trace of rope pulling on the wooden stake, which means that the murderer erected the wooden stake with bare hands and inserted it into the ground for at least half a meter. …”
"It's almost impossible for ordinary people to do this!"
"Except for Sister Moni and Gong Lansen, the mysterious strong side?"
Qin Ran secretly guessed.
The emergence of a new era does not happen overnight.
The Church of Dawn was destroyed, but there was still St. Paul's School, as well as "remnants of the old era" such as Sister Monie and Gon Lanson.
It is not surprising that there are more people.
only…
"Has such a person cooperated with the Wayne family?"
There was doubt in Qin Ran's eyes.
It's not that the 'powerful' put down their dignity and cooperate with ordinary people.
Nor is it after seeking revenge against the Wayne family.
No matter how strong they are, they still need to eat, sleep and shelter, especially as 'remnants of the old era', in the new era, they will understand their own force field better.
And the enmity with the Wayne family
Needless to say.
What really puzzled Qin Ran was the other party's arrangement.
The corpse that appeared in the police station was not a bait to attract the old nun, but a killer in the true sense.
Therefore, the raiders that appeared on the road were not necessary at all.
There was Lide's body in front of him.
To kill the captain of a school guard team, just the corpse is enough for intimidation, there is no need to make the corpse into this appearance, and it is when there are no other special arrangements.
Very... superfluous!
That's right, it's superfluous!
"If it was the Wayne family who made the move, it shouldn't be such a constraint, at least it will use its power in one place, unless..."
"More than one party took action against St. Paul's School!"
"Two parties?"
"No, no, it's three parties!"
"At least three parties are eyeing St. Paul's School!"
Qin Ran's narrowed eyes sparkled.
Why do you say
Isn't the treasure of Dawn Church enough
The gold that can form waves can crush people to death!
No matter the pretender of gold.
Still... Guardians.
Qin Ran raised his head again, looked at Li De, who was dying with regret, and then at the grieving old nun, without saying anything, he walked into the heavy rain.
At this time, any words are pale and powerless.
When it's useless to say anything, try to act.
Qin Ran has always thought that the saying goes well
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
The blood debt is naturally... Blood payment!
Whoa, whoa!
Unknowingly, the rain became heavier.
The bell next to the school playground was rung.
clang! clang! clang!
The bell cut through the rainy night, and the guards were seeing off their captain.
They carefully arranged their captains, trying to make their captains more decent. People's eyes were red, and many people touched the tears from the corners of their eyes.
An atmosphere of sadness condensed.
But in the distance, a few peeping and malicious eyes hidden behind the heavy rain looked at this place full of teasing.
They are like hungry wolves showing their claws, and even more like poisonous snakes showing their fangs.
They looked at their prey, thinking about where to bite.
Sudden
boom!
There was an earth-shattering explosion.
It is the suburban direction.
It is the direction of the Wayne family manor.
The city was completely awakened on a rainy night.
People looked in that direction with suspicious eyes.
Especially those guys who have ulterior motives and hide in the dark.
Looking at the night sky illuminated by fire in the heavy rain, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.
seem…
Are they going to be in trouble? (… )
