Qin Ran pushed the door in, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

On one side were three men in sloppy clothes, with unkind faces and vicious eyes, standing in the middle of the study.

On the other side was an old man with gray hair.

The old man, wearing a linen shirt and a pair of glasses on his chest, was sitting behind a desk.

Seeing Qin Ran walking in, the old man subconsciously stood up and was about to say something.

However, some people are much faster than the old ones.

"Who are you?"

"I advise you not to meddle in your business!"

The sturdiest of the three men turned around and looked at Qin Ran before speaking.

The tone was full of threats.

But in Qin Ran's eyes, the other party was very sloppy.

The other party seems to be strong, but there are no calluses on the palms, whether it is the palms or the fingertips, and as he walked into this room, the position of the other party, including the other party's two subordinates, has never changed! Even, until now, he still looks at him sideways.

All this shows that the other three are just 'laymen'.

Perhaps, relying on a strong body to bully ordinary people.

Thinking about Herbert's 'evaluation' of the three of them before, Qin Ran already had a rough idea in his heart.

The pace didn't stop.

Naturally, he didn't pay attention to the other party's threat, and Qin Ran walked towards Herbert.

"Bastard!"

"I'm going to let you know how good Boss Ollie is!"

It's still the strongest of the three on the other side.

Then, the three of them rushed straight towards Qin Ran.

"Be careful!"

Herbert behind the desk reminded Qin Ran loudly, but before the scholar could finish speaking, the figure of the three rushing towards Qin Ran had already flown back at a faster speed, and slammed into the wall on one side.

Bang!

Smack, smack, smack!

With a dull sound, several books on the shelves fell to the ground due to the vibration caused by the impact.

The three people who suffered the impact fell into a coma completely.

The whole process is electrically glittering.

Herbert did not see what was happening at all.

Even Herbert was well-informed, and at this time, he couldn't help but look at Qin Ran in surprise.

Under Herbert's gaze, Qin Ran walked over, picked up the books, and put them back one by one - although he had tried to control the angle and strength as much as possible when he stepped out.

But I avoided the bookshelf, but I couldn't avoid the vibration of the wall.

After doing all this, Qin Ran turned around and looked at Herbert with a smile on his face.

"Although the trip to the ancient city of Aesop has not yet begun, I think you must not mind if Herbert does my duty as a guard in advance."

According to the tone of the simple memory given by the system, Qin Ran said slowly.

"Of course!"

"Peel isn't here, your presence really helped me a lot!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really break two ribs!"

Herbert joked.

It does not have the seriousness of the 'scholar' that ordinary people have in mind.

However, the thick notes on the other party's desk and the surrounding collection of books show that the other party will not be worthy of this title.

Of course, Qin Ran cared more about Peel in Herbert's mouth.

According to his simple memory, Peel was a very reliable man who shouldered the roles of Herbert's butler, servant, bodyguard, cook, etc.

Herbert's life was well organized by the other party.

To put it simply, if it weren't for something important, the other party would definitely not be far from Herbert.

"May I ask, where is Butler Peel?"

Qin Ran asked seemingly casually.

"I'm going to have to raise more money for this trip to Aesop!"

"And a donation from the city of Burr needs to be accepted by Peel on my behalf, if it weren't for the fact that I can't get out of it, I'll definitely go myself - it's too important to me!"

"Not only the cost of various tools, but also the cost of hiring guards, all need this money!"

"In fact, I have sent out invitations to many famous bounty hunters and mercenaries, but no one except 2567 you can accept the price I offered."

"That's why I'm going to publish it in the newspaper!"

Qin Ran's previous behavior won Herbert's favor, and the scholar did not hide it, and explained the reason to Qin Ran in detail.

"I see!"

Qin Ran nodded.

But there are doubts in my heart.

"So coincidentally?"

"As soon as Peel left Herbert's side, these guys appeared?"

"Moreover, the news published in the newspaper was only sent out this morning, and even if the news spreads, it will take a day or two!"

"It shouldn't be so fast!"

Qin Ran's gaze subconsciously swept over the unconscious three.

Especially the other party's dress.

There was no discrimination, but Qin Ran was very skeptical that the three of them were literate.

If you can't even read words, let alone read a newspaper.

That is, putting aside the real coincidences......

"The three guys in front of you already know Peel's itinerary!"

"And the ...... that can determine Peel's itinerary"

Qin Ran's eyes narrowed.

Immediately there was a little more speculation.

However, he still needs to confirm it.

"Herbert, I want to interrogate the three of them before the police come!"

"By the way, can I come to you to read before I leave?"

Qin Ran pointed to the three people on the ground, and at the same time, he did not forget his original intention.

"Okay!"

"We need to report the crime before the police show up!"

"And a few of my students, at least after dark, come and help us with this!"

"So, 2567, you have plenty of time!"

Herbert did not object, and even reminded Qin Ran.

Obviously, no one who can become a scholar is a stupid person, and Herbert also has doubts about the coincidence of the three.

Qin Ran nodded and walked towards the three of them.

……

Basement.

Originally, it was a place to store some vegetables and grain for the winter, but at this moment, it was simply transformed into an interrogation room by Qin Ran: a hemp rope with the thickness of two fingers bypassed the wrists and ankles of the three people in the way of tying up livestock, and finally around the beam of the house and hoisted the three people.

A bucket of water was poured over the heads of the trio.

Wow!

"Bastard!"

"Damn, who's that?"

"I'm going to smash all your teeth!"

As the icy water poured down, the three unconscious guys came to their senses.

The three of them didn't see the form in front of them clearly, and they scolded directly, until they saw Qin Ran standing in front of them clearly, and their eyes did not fluctuate, and then they stopped talking one after another.

The previous scene, the three of them were really impressed.

He was knocked out without reacting at all.

Even if you are a fool, you know that you have met someone you can't mess with.

And the three people in front of them are not fools.

"Say it!"

"Who sent you?"

Qin Ran said lightly.

Immediately, the three people in front of them glanced at each other and fell silent.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!"

Qin Ran said secretly in his heart.

Although the three of them didn't say anything, their expressions said it all.

That's enough!

For Qin Ran, it was not a problem to pry open the mouths of the three of them.

After all, the three of them are not strong-willed people at first glance.

Rumble!

But just as Qin Ran was about to start asking the truth, a huge explosion came from overhead, and the strong vibration made the entire basement shake.

Herbert!

Qin Ran's heart sank.
