Chapter 9: The Dead Body

The young militia captain followed Qin Ran's gaze and saw the pitch-black mayor's office, and immediately, the young man pulled out the long sword at his waist. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Boom!

The long sword was unsheathed, and the people around him were startled.

But then something was wrong.

"My lord, I'll take someone to see it!"

The young militiaman said.

"Hmm."

"I'll check out the Eddie caravan's room."

Qin Ran nodded and didn't stop it.

In his perception, the house was dark, but there was no danger, neither a malicious gaze nor a powerful aura.

On the contrary, in the inn of the dwarf wine glass and rice bowl, there is a faint smell of blood.

Not pigs and sheep, but ...... Person!

"Okay, you two keep up with the adults."

"My lord, I'll come when I go!"

The young militia captain made proper arrangements, and then, with the men walking away, walked away quickly.

When the young man and the many militiamen left, the innkeeper, Old Vic, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Vaughn is good at everything, but he's just too serious."

"I still watched him grow up, but he didn't give me any face."

Old Vic shrugged his shoulders mockingly as he spoke.

"Serious young man, not annoying, is it?"

Qin Ran said with a smile.

"Of course, of course."

"My lord, please come with me, and I'll show you the room where those guys live."

Old Vic nodded, and walked towards the inn with Qin Ran smoothly and rudely.

Along the way, there was no need for Qin Ran to ask, and the other party began to introduce everything about Eddie's caravan.

"The Eddie caravan is a small caravan, the core is the 'Eddie family', a total of more than a dozen people, however, the small caravan has a small caravan way of survival, they will choose to hold together, and most of the time, it is the people of the 'Eddie family' who take care of everything."

"So, most of the time, people think that the whole caravan is the 'Eddie family', but in fact, it is made up of multiple small caravans, and they will only take a part of the profits."

"Oh, I see."

"'Eddie's Family' is the name of Add's caravan?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"Well, that's the name of Add's caravan, and besides, they're really family."

"Weird, right?"

"It's not strange that a family is in charge of a caravan, but it's curious that a family is in a caravan from top to bottom."

"However, I was too curious to ask them."

Old Vic said and smiled again.

"How?"

"They're vicious?"

Smelling the smell of blood getting closer and closer, Qin Ran asked.

"Dare to come to the caravan near the Supreme Road, which one is not vicious?"

"The bandits and robbers scattered all over the middle of the Supreme Path are no joke, even if there is a garrison with Burning Dawn, there are frequent attacks, not to mention that the Burning Dawn is ...... now"

As he spoke, Old Vic thought of something and suddenly stopped talking.

"What happened to Burning Dawn?"

Qin Ran pretended to be curious and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that Burning Dawn has been attacked!"

"The Grand Duke is also missing......

"My lord, in your capacity, the official documents you have received must be more detailed than my hearsay, and you can also ask Mayor Hall, so don't embarrass me, a poor man."

"I'm just begging for food here."

Old Bick repeatedly asked for mercy, and at the same time, there was an extra money bag in his hand, which was handed to Qin Ran very covertly.

Qin Ran quietly took the money bag.

When he saw Qin Ran take the money bag, Lao Bick was happy, and his steps leading the way were even faster.

At the back of the hallway of the inn, in front of a wall with only one door, the other man stopped.

"This is the room of the Eddie family, and it is also the largest room I have here, and every time they come, they choose to live here."

Old Vic opened the door and stepped aside.

A militiaman carrying an oil lamp was the first to go in and light the candles in the room.

The light filled the room at once.

A neat row of beds was illuminated, and there was a salute under the beds.

The beds are neatly made and the futons are folded.

Salute neatly and do not move.

Qin Ran's gaze swept over the beds, saluted, and finally looked at the large long table in the room.

The smell of blood came from there.

Or from under the wooden floor of the large long table.

And in Qin Ran's tracking vision, everything was even clearer.

The end of countless trails of drag is there.

"Move it away."

Qin Ran commanded the militia while looking at Old Vic.

The other party's expression was as usual, and there was nothing abnormal.

Now, of course.

After the long table was moved away and Qin Ran lifted a wooden board that seemed to be sturdy, but was actually hidden, the strong smell of blood immediately hit his face.

Under the candlelight, the dense corpses were exposed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Oh my God!"

Old Vic, whose face had changed drastically, exclaimed, and his figure retreated again and again.

The two militiamen were also horrified, one of them was completely overwhelmed, and the other was quite calm, drawing the short sword at his waist and pointing it at Old Vic.

"Don't move!"

Militia Road.

"Great, great!"

"I didn't kill these people!"

Old Vic immediately raised his hands and stammered.

"Hmm."

Qin Ran nodded noncommittally, scanning the secret room hidden in the inn room.

When he saw the L-shaped latch inside, his eyes narrowed.

"A secret room controlled from the inside?"

Qin Ran had a guess in his heart, and immediately said to the militia: "Go and carry all the corpses out." ”

"Yes."

The two militiamen looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Among them, the militiaman who had been at a loss seemed reluctant, and approached the secret room slowly, and the other one who pulled out his short sword, although he was also reluctant, did not laze in the face of Qin Ran's order.

What surprised Qin Ran was the old Vic.

"My lord, I'm here to help!"

"I am willing to prove my innocence, and I am also willing to help you, my lord, and I hope you can give me justice!"

Old Vic took the initiative to say.

"Yes."

Qin Ran promised.

Old Vic was certainly not a murderer.

There was no smell of blood on the other party's body, and there was no trace of washing.

Moreover, a middle-aged and elderly person who is as short as a dwarf and has not undergone any exercise cannot solve so many people silently except for poisoning.

But the bodies were not poisoned, they were pierced through the throat.

Or in an instant, it pierced the throats of more than a dozen people.

"The killer is not only quick to act, but also surprise......"

Qin Ran stood on the secret room, looking at the corpses that were carried out one by one, and the scene at that time involuntarily appeared in his mind: Eddie's family and the murderer were talking about something in this secret room, and then, the murderer suddenly struck, and the unsuspecting Eddie's family fell to the ground with swords.

There may have been a cry, but no one heard it, but no one heard it.

Or maybe the killer deliberately arranged for people to divert the attention of the people in the hotel.

"Ahh

Just as Qin Ran was guessing, the exclamations of Old Vic and the militia came from the secret room under his feet.

"Great, my lord, the mayor of the town is dead!"

Without waiting for Qin Ran to ask, the militia stammered and reported.
