Chapter 19: The Sound of Gunshots
The Bloody Hand Society, a killer organization hidden in the shadows of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
More than one-third of the city's headless homicides are linked to this group.
And the remaining two-thirds?
It will also involve this organization to a greater or lesser extent.
But even so, no one has been able to catch the slightest trace of this organization.
Neither the former Chief Patrick nor the current Sergeant John did it.
The members of this organization seem to be invisible, and they come and go like that every time.
Not to mention the leader of this organization.
In the most detailed records, there is not even whether the other party is male or female.
To put it simply, there is no information about the other party at all.
For this, Helles is very proud.
Because, no one would have thought that the killer organization leader like the Bloody Hand would be a night watchman.
Every evening, he would appear on the streets and alleys with carts loaded with lamp oil and ladders, filling the street lamps with kerosene and lighting the wicks.
And the next morning, he would go and extinguish the wick again.
Anyone who sees him at night will not be suspicious.
More than half of the people in the city know him as the night watchman.
After all, he's been doing it for twenty years.
And tonight is his last 'night patrol'.
After tonight, he will have enough gold to retire from.
He will find a place with beautiful scenery and live the rest of his life in great abundance.
When I think of the beautiful life that is about to come, the pouring rain in front of me becomes more and more lovely.
Helles is a man who is very fond of rainy days,
Not only because the rain affects people's sight and hearing, but also because the rain can hide the smell of blood, so that a killer like him has enough time to make the scene more perfect.
It's like tonight!
No one would have imagined that an entire St. Paul's school would be attacked.
It's like no one would have thought that St. Paul's School would hide some of the treasures of the Dawn Church.
Even Helleth, the killer who thinks he is in charge of the city's nights, inadvertently gets this information from a member of the organization.
After a little probing, this information was confirmed.
However, some of the things found in the investigation made the killer leader not act rashly.
Rather, it was a more tactful approach to dealing with St. Paul's School.
The effect is very good!
Although a considerable amount of gold will be lost, the rest is enough for the killer leader.
At least, he didn't need to be anything like a normal old man with that horrible one...... No, it's not like normal guys fighting.
Thinking of the strength of that abnormal guy, Hellers, who thinks highly of himself, couldn't help but tremble.
But at the thought that the other party had moved away from here in order to transport some of the gold, Helles sighed.
That's right!
The other party will come back!
But when the other party came back, he would have disappeared with the gold, and at that time, no matter how powerful the other party was, it was useless.
Thinking of the cleverness of his plan, the killer leader couldn't help but smile.
And at this moment, the sound of explosions in the distance and the sky illuminated by the firelight made the killer leader's heart burst out, and the inexplicable uneasiness made him signal to act in advance.
The street lamp next to the killer leader was lit.
The high wick and abundant kerosene make this street lamp exceptionally bright on a rainy night.
The killer man standing on the ladder looked in the direction of St. Paul's school.
He was expecting a perfect sneak attack.
It's just that......
Nothing happened.
Nothing has changed at St. Paul's School on a rainy night.
The leader of the killer stared at the brightly lit chapel on the edge of the school playground, hoping to see his men, but there was no one in sight.
The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.
At the same time, a faint smell of blood that ordinary people would subconsciously ignore burrowed into his nose.
Without hesitation, Helles quickly jumped off the ladder, turned and rushed towards the pre-arranged escape route.
Helles, who has not been caught any clues for so many years, is not only a disguise of his identity and outstanding strength, but also because he has a caution that ordinary people do not have.
No matter how good the odds are, Helleres will think about what to do if he loses.
A carriage had long since stopped at the end of the street.
It contained enough food, water, and indispensable currency.
But before Helles could approach the carriage, the killer leader stopped with an ugly face.
The closer you got to the carriage, the stronger the smell of blood.
What this means is self-evident.
"Who?"
"Come out!"
Helles snorted, looking desperate.
But as soon as the words came out, the killer leader retreated quickly, not turning around and running, but keeping his whole body forward, and retreating in a posture of tiptoe on the ground.
Although the posture is awkward, the speed is not slow.
In particular, the double guns that appeared in Helles's hands were even more deterrent.
And then......
A tremendous force appeared behind Helleth.
The killer leader, who kept retreating, was like crashing into a speeding truck, flew straight out of more than ten meters, fell in front of the carriage, and couldn't get up again.
Of course, Qin Ran, who was in control, did not kick the other party to death in the real sense.
From the mouth of the Venn clansman, Qin Ran clearly understood that the Venn clan in front of him knew more about the inside story, even if the Venn clan revealed the matter of the Dawn Treasure to Helles, but in the follow-up investigation, the Vene clan did not participate in it.
Even tonight's plan was only known to the Wayne man before dark.
According to the account of the Vane clan, the other party was only one of the peripheral members of the Blood Hand Society at the beginning, and it was only by coincidence that he was promoted to the core member of the organization after learning the news from the mouth of a certain direct heir of the Earl of Vene.
In this regard, Qin Ran was noncommittal.
He believed that the other party had been unusually promoted, and he also believed that the other party had received the news from the mouth of a certain direct heir of the Earl of Vain.
None of that matters.
Even if it was covered up, it didn't matter to Qin Ran.
However, Qin Ran didn't believe the fact that the direct heir died unexpectedly not long after the disappearance of Earl Vain, and as a result, let a straw bag inherit the position of earl.
So, he was going to ask for more information from the mouth of Helles in front of him.
Qin Ran stepped up to Helles and raised his hand to pick him up.
Helles, whose spine was kicked off, was like a puppet off the line, and he was weakly carried in Qin Ran's hands.
"Leave me alone!"
"I ......"
Bang!
The slight sound of gunfire interrupted Helles's words, and under Qin Ran's deliberate control, the bullet almost grazed Helles and hit the carriage on the side.
Looking at the bullet marks on the carriage, Helles, who had no power to resist, shouted in panic.
"Let's go!"
"Take me away!"
"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you! ”
In the sound of pleading, Helles did not look like a ruthless killer at all, he was simply an ordinary night watchman.
Not a deduction, but a reality.
Maybe it was just a disguise at first.
But after a long time, it becomes real.
Man's habits and man's desires. Hope the same.
It's all so scary.
Facing Helles's pleading, Qin Ran turned a deaf ear and looked in the direction where the gunshots came from.
