Chapter 16: Fire on a Rainy Night
The rain was heavy and the sky was getting darker, but it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the newspaper reporters in the slightest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Their eyes widened in the direction of the playground that hung in St. Paul's School.
A stake three or four meters high sits there, with a head at the top of the stake, a pierced body at the bottom, and arms and legs placed proportionally on both sides of the stake.
But anyone who gets close can feel the blood dripping in it.
Cruel dismemberment!
Weird placement!
For ordinary people, it is a fear that cannot be avoided, but for these reporters, it is rare material, they put the umbrella on their shoulders one by one, press the umbrella handle with their right wrist, hold a pencil in their hands, and quickly describe everything, and some reporters who completed the depiction one step earlier focused 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 that you can catch such a murderer?"
……
The questioning is more difficult to accept than the bad weather.
John, who was already in a heavy mood because of another homigre, was completely sinking at this time, and if it weren't for the bad news that there would be, John definitely wouldn't mind letting these boring guys taste the power of his fists.
And now?
"Carl? Cal? ”
The sheriff shouted.
The young policeman quickly ran out of the schoolyard.
"Sheriff!"
Karl, who was drenched in heavy rain, saluted.
"Expand the warning range by 50 meters, and anyone who crosses the warning range at will will be arrested as a suspect!"
The sheriff commanded.
"Yes!"
Karl replied in a loud voice.
Then, in front of St. Paul's School, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs.
"No!"
"You can't do that!"
"We have the right to know!"
……
Journalists began to protest, but to no avail.
Under the leadership of Carl, more than a dozen police officers who were doused in the rain were like moving human walls, pushing the reporters into the distance step by step.
Among them, a few of them were grumpy and didn't mind wielding their rubber sticks.
John saw the scene.
If it was usual, he would stop it.
But at the moment, he won't.
Not revenge, just to make it easier to act.
While holding an umbrella and helping the old nun to get out of the carriage, John said as if to himself: "2567, please! ”
"Hmm."
In the pouring rain, a voice sounded.
John subconsciously pursued the owner of the voice, but saw nothing.
Although this was not the first time such a situation had been encountered, our sheriff was amazed.
However, he did not forget to get down to business.
"Sister Moni, do you need to rest?"
"I'll help you back to your room!"
John said.
But the old nun refused the offer.
"I want to see the corpse!"
"Uh...... Good! ”
Faced with the old nun's resolute tone, the sheriff finally chose to compromise.
But in the bottom of my heart, I have been prepared for a long time.
The corpse appeared at St. Paul's School, and if it had nothing to do with the school itself, John said he would not believe anything.
Before, the old nun had already been stimulated by the corpse of her student Totti, and if she was stimulated again, no one in the prime of life would be able to accept it, let alone an old man.
Everything was as John had expected.
The people who died on the school playground were the people of St. Paul's School.
It's still someone Qin Ran knows.
Lead, captain of the St. Paul's Nursing Team, 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 other party's corpse, Qin Ran's gaze scanned the surroundings.
But nothing was found.
The [Tracking] of the peerless level has been able to find traces left by some special beings, but it has not found any traces left by the murderer.
"It's not some special existence, or is it the category of 'normal people', but it just borrowed the cover of a rainy day to complete this murder?"
Qin Ran's gaze looked at the ground again.
The solid ground was flooded with rain, and although Qin Ran could still trace some footprints, these traces quickly faded under the rain.
There is no doubt that these footprints were left by later policemen.
As for the murderer's?
I'm afraid it's long gone.
Qin Ran raised his head and looked at the stake again.
"The three- or four-meter-high wooden stake, with a cross-sectional diameter of more than 15 centimeters, and there are no traces of ropes on the stake, which means that the murderer erected the stake with his bare hands and inserted it into the ground to the extent that it was at least half a meter......"
"It's almost impossible for ordinary people to want to do this!"
"Aside from Sister Moni and Gong Lansen, the mysterious side powerhouse?"
Qin Ran secretly guessed.
The emergence of a new era does not happen overnight.
The Church of Dawn is gone, but there is still St. Paul's School, and there are 'remnants of the old times' like Sister Moni and Gonransen.
Then it would not be surprising that there are a few more.
It's just that......
"Did such a person cooperate with the Wayne family?"
Qin Ran's eyes were filled with doubt.
It's not that the 'strong' put down their dignity and cooperate with ordinary people.
It's not a revenge for the Wayne family.
No matter how strong the strong, they also need a place to eat, sleep, and shelter, especially as a 'remnant of the old era', in the new era, they will be more aware of their own force field.
And the feud with the Vane 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 for the old nun, but a killer in the real sense.
So, there is no need for the raiders who appear on the road at all.
And the body of Leader in front of him.
Killing the captain of a school guard team, out of intimidation, just the corpse is enough, there is no need to make the corpse look like this, or when there is no other special arrangement.
Extraordinary...... Bring sand to the beach!
That's right, it's redundant!
"If it was the Wayne family, it shouldn't be such a constraint, at least the power would be used in one place, unless it ......"
"More than one side has taken action against St. Paul's School!"
"Two?"
"No, no, it's three parties!"
"There are at least three parties eyeing St. Paul's School!"
Qin Ran's narrowed eyes flickered.
Why do you say?
Aren't the treasures of the Church of Dawn enough?
The gold that can form a wave can crush people!
Whether they are pretenders of gold.
Still is...... Guardians.
Qin Ran raised his head again, looked at the dead Lead, and then looked at the grieving old nun, and didn't say anything more, he walked towards the heavy rain.
At this time, any words are pale and weak.
When it's useless to say anything, try to act.
Qin Ran has always thought that the saying is good-
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Blood Debt Naturally ...... Blood!
Whoa, whoa!
Before you know it, the rain is even heavier.
The bell ringing next to the school playground.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The bell pierced the rainy night, and the members of the escort were seeing off their captain.
They carefully sorted out their captains, trying to make their captains decent, people's eyes were red, and many people touched the tears in the corners of their eyes.
An atmosphere of sadness condensed.
But in the distance, a few peeps and malicious eyes hidden after the heavy rain looked at this place playfully.
They are like hungry wolves showing their claws, and like poisonous snakes baring their fangs.
They looked at their prey, thinking about where to go.
Suddenly-
Rumble!
An earth-shattering explosion came.
It is the suburban direction.
It is the direction of the estate of the Venn family.
The city on a rainy night was completely awakened.
People looked in that direction with disbelief.
Especially those who have evil intentions and hide in the shadows.
Looking at the night sky lit by firelight in the heavy rain, a bad premonition rose in everyone's hearts.
Seem......
Are they about to die?
