The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 837: note

Views:

Ike, one of the members of the school nursing team.

After being prevented from approaching the poisonous carriage by Qin Ran, he became extremely respectful towards Qin Ran, especially after treating Qin Ran as Gong Lansen, that kind of respect was beyond words.

The old nun did not explain Qin Ran's identity to everyone.

The only people who really knew his identity were the old nun and Sheriff John.

"Sir, what do I need to do?"

Facing Qin Ran who jumped off the carriage, Ike asked.

"Help Sister Moni and follow me."

Qin Ran ordered.

"OK."

Ike nodded, and helped the old nun get off the carriage.

Qin Ran's eyes began to look at the so-called No. 11 Lion Street.

This is undoubtedly a wealthy neighborhood in the city. The distribution of independent buildings and the clean and luxurious architectural shapes all illustrate this point.

Qin Ran walked towards the gate of No. 11 Lion Street.

There are two iron gates, the main body of the gate panels is solid, and tall, sharp fences rise into the sky, blocking anyone who wants to browse through the gates.

On both sides, there are courtyard walls made entirely of stones, which are strong and reliable.

From the gap in the iron gate, Kieran could clearly see a stake used to tie a dog.

Obviously, the people who live here are very concerned about their own safety.

However, this kind of defense, that is, to deal with some petty thieves, is completely ineffective when you meet someone who is really ruthless.

Not to mention people who are inextricably linked to the mysterious side.

That's right, this temporary stronghold was robbed.

As for the people who originally lived in it

The answer is self-evident.

With one jump, Qin Ran climbed over the wall and opened the iron gate a crack.

Ike supported the old nun, and Lisa pulled the old nun's robe and filed in.

"Stay here!"

As Qin Ran spoke, he merged into the shadows and walked quickly into the building.

Although he was mentally prepared, Kieran still raised his eyebrows when he saw the mess in the hall.

Eight bodies in total.

One of the three members of the family is the owner of this place, and the remaining five corpses should be cooks, servants, bodyguards, etc.

The corpses were still in the living room in a mess, as if they were randomly discarded garbage.

Similarly, people who throw away garbage don't mind living in such a place.

There was still unfinished food on the table.

However, the entire dining table has two completely different appearances.

One side was neat and unusual, the knife and fork were placed on both sides of the dinner plate, the steak in the dinner plate was cut from it, one side was cut into small pieces, and one side was left intact.

Looking at this piece of steak, in Kieran's mind, the image of a person with great table manners eating steak with an elegant posture has already appeared.

And the other side

A whole cauldron is filled with beef and potatoes. The production process is very rough. The beef is undercooked, and the potatoes are not even peeled.

But this did not affect the eater's gobbling in the slightest.

Look at the soup splashing around the cauldron, the appetite of the eater is not generally good.

"The former is a young man who is hiding his face?"

"The latter is the accomplice who killed Lied?"

Qin Ran turned around the dining table, using the [Tracking] field of vision to look at the traces that he couldn't normally see.

There are two pairs of footprints, one large and one small, under the dining table, and there are several palm prints on the dining table.

The larger one, exactly like the one left on the round stake.

It's a pity that the place is already empty.

In perception, Kieran didn't feel any breath.

To be cautious, Qin Ran searched the entire house again, but still found nothing.

Although the other party left in a hurry, the traces that should have been cleaned up meticulously.

"After the other party got the news that Lisa was captured, they decisively chose to leave! In other words, Sister Moni's ability is no secret to them, and they are very sure that Sister Moni will use this ability Come and search for their whereabouts."

"but… "

Qin Ran looked at the dinner plate with the steak again.

Under the dinner plate, a white edge mark was exposed.

It should be paper!

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire dining table again.

This piece of paper was pressed under the dinner plate, because of the angle, if you don't squat down, you can't find it at all.

In other words, if you are not the first person to enter here, if you search the surroundings carefully, you will not find it.

So this note...

"Leave it to me?!"

Qin Ran was surprised in his heart.

After checking the plate and confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Kieran picked up the plate.

Immediately, the note under the dinner plate was revealed.

There is not much content on the note, it can even be said that there are only four words—

School, log cabin.

There is no beginning and no end, and there is no time indicated.

There is only a fairly accurate location.

The school, of course, is St. Paul's School.

As for the wooden house, apart from Gong Lansen's wooden house for the night watchman, Qin Ran couldn't think of anything else.

After staring at the note for a few seconds, Kieran finally put it in his pocket and walked out.

"We are one step late!"

"They ran away!"

Qin Ran said to the waiting old nun.

"it is as expected… "

"After we capture Lisa, they will definitely leave."

"Did you find anything?"

asked the old nun.

"No."

Qin Ran didn't mention the note, and simply shook his head.

"Can I go in and have a look?"

"My useless experience may be of help!"

The old nun pointed to the room.

"OK!"

Qin Ran straightened his body sideways.

The old nun's previous interrogation of Lisa had already proved to Kieran the outstanding knowledge brought about by her age.

Of course, it was nothing compared to the abilities of the old nun.

Read and delete memory.

No matter how you think about it, it is a terrifying ability.

If there were no obvious disadvantages, and the old nun had a kind heart, it would definitely cause terrible incidents.

Looking at the back of the old nun walking in the room with Ike's support, Qin Ran inexplicably thought of the note in his pocket.

What did the other party want to do by leaving such a note

Qin Ran guessed the other party's intention.

Ten minutes later, the old nun who also had no results stopped searching.

"Sorry, I didn't find any useful clues."

The old nun said apologetically.

"It's all right, Sister Monie."

"We haven't found it here. We can quietly wait for the news of those 'helpers'. I believe they will not let us down."

Qin Ran comforted the old nun with a smile

"hope so!"

The old nun sighed.

Then, everyone boarded the carriage and began to return to school.

"Sister Monie, I hope to live in a log cabin in the days to come."

"Someone is using Gong Lansen's identity to make a fuss, why don't we release more smoke and use the trick?"

Inside the carriage, Qin Ran said this.

"Everything is left to you."

Facing such rhetoric, the old nun didn't object, and simply nodded.
