"Earl Vain?!"

Qin Ran's face was surprised, but his heart was extremely calm.

When the person behind the curtain named 'Evan' revealed the strength of his own power a little, Qin Ran narrowed down the scope of who the other party was to a few people, and Count Vane was the most suspicious of them.

After all, the other party's family has a great reputation in the city.

It's just that Qin Ran didn't have any evidence before.

And now?

Naturally, there is no need for it.

"Worthy of being the best detective in the city!"

Count Vane looked at the surprise on Qin Ran's face, the sarcasm in those eyes became more and more intense, and he said lightly: "Originally, I thought it would take you another week to be able to help me find those things!" ”

Undoubtedly, the other party has regarded the wealth accumulated by the Dawn Church for thousands of years as a bag.

"As a reward for you, I think you'd love to meet your old friend!"

The other party didn't have any intention of waiting for Qin Ran's reply, and patted his palm.

Immediately, Sheriff John, who was tied with his hands tied behind his back and gagged, pushed out of the crowd and staggered to Qin Ran's side.

Sheriff John had visible scars on his body - from whips and daggers.

Bloody!

However, Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

His greatest fear was seeing Sheriff John's body.

"John, how's it going?"

Qin Ran held the other party, tore off the rags in the other party's mouth, and untied the rope in the other party's hand.

"It's fine!"

Sheriff John shook his head with a wry smile, a gloomy look on his face.

Obviously, the fact that the enemy is powerful makes him disheartened.

Of course, more of the reason came from himself - he did not see the true nature of Count Vane in advance, which was an incomparably heavy blow to the upright sheriff!

Count Vane on the side did not have the slightest intention of stopping Qin Ran from loosening his ties for Sheriff John, so he looked at Qin Ran lightly, and let Qin Ran and Sheriff John talk to each other.

It was a full two minutes before the earl spoke again.

"Detective Qin Ran, it seems that you are very satisfied with your reward!"

"So, I need to get my stuff!"

"I hope there won't be more conflicts between us!"

Between Count Vain's words, the people around him raised the guns in their hands one after another, and the strong man, who was two meters tall, walked towards Qin Ran, searching for the items on Qin Ran's body.

Qin Ran immediately raised his hands.

This made Count Vane smile even more on his face.

He was very satisfied with Qin Ran's cooperation.

For this reason, he thought that Qin Ran could know more-as his reward for Qin Ran.

"Swoko and Ruthhan are already one step ahead of you!"

"Detective Qin Ran, the collaborator you chose is far from being as loyal to your oath as you imagined!"

"But don't worry, I'll make them pay!"

"After all, they're heinous creatures, and they've just done something that everyone is angry about—"

Count Vane looked at Qin Ran, whose face had changed, and the extra smile could no longer be endured, which made him chuckle, and then he continued to say slowly: "Attack St. Paul's School!" ”

"You can't do that......"

"Of course I can!"

"In this city, I can do whatever I want!"

Count Vane interrupted Qin Ran's words, and his tone was cold and decisive.

Suddenly, a worried and painful look appeared on Qin Ran's face.

This made Earl Vane laugh.

"And what right do you, a fellow blinded by greed, have to put on such an expression?"

"Put away your hypocritical mercy, you have more important tasks to do!"

"Pathfinder - this title is very suitable for you and Sheriff John!"

Count Vane ignored the flintlock pistol and dagger that he had searched for together, but only took the notepad with quite important information, flipped through it slightly, and confirmed that it was all related to the Church of Dawn, but there was no more specific route forward, and then he gave the order directly.

Under the premise that Swoko and Ruthhan were the two traitors first, Count Vane did not have time to sort out the information on this notepad.

However, the Earl of Vane was completely sure that he was in control.

As always.

As for why not catch those two traitors first?

Count Vane believed that Qin Ran was a smart man and would never tell the two fools everything.

And two idiots who think they know everything are just misled, and then become each other's pathfinders!

The Earl of Vane expressed his appreciation.

Therefore, he asked Qin Ran to take on the same task as the sheriff.

Everything is so interesting, isn't it?

Count Vane looked at Qin Ran, whose face was extremely ugly, and laughed again.

Discreet and elegant.

Like the aristocracy depicted in any book.

The manhole cover was opened again, and the three men of Earl Vane went down first, and after confirming that there was no safety, it was Qin Ran and Sheriff John's turn, followed by the subordinate who was two meters tall.

The Earl of Vane was the last to come down.

Eight of the twelve men had lit oil lamps to illuminate the dim sewers, while the remaining three surrounded the Earl of Vane.

And the man who was two meters tall and extremely strong stood behind Qin Ran and Sheriff John.

"Tru, my most capable man!"

"He has saved me no less than ten times, and his opponents have been torn in half!"

"Detective Qin Ran, Sergeant John, I don't think you guys are willing to face Tru's anger!"

Under the protection of his men, the Earl of Vane appeared to be unhurried.

The strong man named Drew cooperated with a hideous smile, and under the aim of nearly ten flintlock guns, this smile was full of deterrence.

Sheriff John subconsciously wanted to say something.

However, he was stopped by Qin Ran.

The latter's lips moved slightly, and finally turned into a sigh.

Sheriff John wasn't stupid or old-fashioned, and he knew very well that if he retorted something, or made some moves, the gunmen around him would definitely not mind teaching him a lesson.

It may not be aimed at the vital point, but even if it is aimed at the limbs, it is beyond his bearing.

But the only persistence in his heart made him angry.

The cruelty of reality and the persistence of ideals.

Let Sheriff John be tortured.

Especially, after he chose to compromise.

Qin Ran looked at Sheriff John's expression, and there was a trace of helplessness in his heart.

It's not about the situation in front of him - it's all in his hands.

It's hard to open your mouth.

Although he really wanted to tell the other party everything, reason told Qin Ran what he should do!

"Let's go!"

Sheriff John, who was half-supported by Qin Ran, walked forward.

And this scene made Count Vane clap his palm.

"I love working with smart people!"

Count Vane said this, and then glanced at the people around him.

Immediately, the eleven people named Tru were dispersed according to a peculiar procession, and they not only faintly protected Count Vane among them, but also did not ignore the surrounding movements.

Moreover, it can be seen that the task of protecting the Count of Venne is even more important.

Each of these people was expressionless, their movements as rigid as a machine, and their empty eyes had no brilliance, as if they were moving corpses.

Dead soldiers!

Qin Ran, who saw this scene, and Sheriff John glanced at each other at the same time.

Both saw the answer in each other's eyes.

Qin Ran had heard of such an existence from the mouth of the guardian knight, but what he didn't expect was to see it so soon.

If you encounter a dead man, don't dwell on them - because they only want to complete the mission, even if they trade their lives with you! ’

The words of the guardian knight echoed in Qin Ran's ears.

However, Qin Ran had no intention of changing his plans.

When he made this plan, Qin Ran had already thought of the worst.

The appearance of the dead soldier was not a trouble in Qin Ran's opinion.

The same goes for Sheriff John next to him.

Even, it was much better than Qin Ran expected!

At least, although Sheriff John was wounded, he didn't have a broken leg or a disability or anything like that—Qin Ran understood very well why Earl Vane did this.

The other party never wanted to stay alive.

Once the wealth left behind by the so-called Church of Dawn is found, he and Sheriff John are certain to die.

Similarly, Qin Ran also planned it this way.

As long as the wealth left by the Church of Dawn is 'found', it is the death of Count Vane and his men.

Qin Ran walked in front with Sheriff John in his arms.

A strong stench hits your face.

The greasy feeling of slipping under your feet makes people reluctant to think about what they stepped on.

In fact, it's a semi-abandoned sewer.

If it were a sewer in the true sense of the word, it would be ten times worse than the environment here.

And the people walking in it, Qin Ran and Sheriff John, including those dead soldiers, did not change their faces.

In the hands of Count Vain, an extra handkerchief was hidden in front of him at some point, but his face was unusually embarrassed.

The strong man named Tru is also uncomfortable.

From time to time, behind Qin Ran and Sheriff John, some slang were muttered.

Although Qin Ran couldn't tell the difference, it was naturally not a good thing.

And in this case, the group walked for almost an hour.

The stench is getting stronger.

Qin Ran's nose had lost his instinct - he had discovered for the first time that it was not a good thing to perceive too strongly.

However, Qin Ran did not complain in the slightest.

Because, the 'cemetery' he chose for the other party is about to arrive.
