A book that was half a person tall and extremely heavy was carefully flipped through by Qin Ran on a special shelf.

From time to time, Qin Ran would turn around and record.

And around Qin Ran, there were hundreds of books similar to this kind of appearance.

They had long since left their original bookshelves and were placed on the ground haphazardly, but they were not damaged in any way, but were taken care of.

Qin Ran is not a person who will destroy books at will.

Moreover, he had made a pact with the director of the library: he could look through all the books in the basement of the library without any damage.

Otherwise, even if you have a letter of appointment from a police consultant, you will be expelled.

Of course, before the expulsion, it is necessary to pay compensation.

Fortunately, in the past week, Qin Ran has done quite well.

Except that there is no more energy, put the book back in its place.

However, no one who saw Qin Jie with red eyes and a tired face would not blame him.

For a person who doesn't know how many days he hasn't had a good rest, can you blame him for not moving a book that requires the combined efforts of two or three people to put things together?

Brush!

With the sound of the pages turning, the extremely heavy book in front of him was finished by Qin Ran.

Qin Ran carefully moved the books down and carried the last book in the room.

Before opening the book, Qin Ran rubbed his swollen temples.

Although there is not much real content in these heavy books, the reason for their appearance is more because of the backwardness of the original technology, in order to better preserve, they have to be made of special materials, so each page has a thickness of 1-2 cm, and the whole book adds up to 50-60 pages.

But, it's just a book!

When you add up to hundreds of books, that's 5,000-6,000 pages, which is prohibitive for anyone.

Especially since these books don't tell the same knowledge.

There is history, religion, humanities, geography, and more myths and legends.

It's a complete hodgepodge.

Even if Qin Ran has the baptism of the era of information explosion, he is also a headache in the face of such a chaotic knowledge.

However, he had to finish reading the books.

Because, it's part of his plan!

He needed to convince the peer of the thousand-year-old riches of the Dawn Church that he had found the whereabouts of those riches.

His reputation as a detective isn't enough!

He still needs more than enough practical actions!

Flipping through the pages in front of you is naturally one of the actions, and the records you carry with you are also one of the actions.

As for whether the peeper can see it?

Qin Ran never doubted this.

Where did the other party find the information about the thousand-year-old wealth of the Dawn Church?

Book!

Maybe it's some books that circulate within the family.

It could also be seen by accident on a book.

Or simply the narration of some well-intentioned people.

But no matter which one it is, the other party will inevitably need more sources of information in order to confirm and verify.

And what better place to do than a library with so many historical books!

In the same way, the other party will be careful not to let others find out about their behavior.

Therefore, Qin Ran knew who the real owner of this library, which was nominally under the management of the city council, was.

The other party has already shown its extraordinary power.

Sheriff John has been missing for a week and should have caused an uproar in the city.

However, a secret order from the city council calmed everything down.

'John was sent on a confidential mission! ’

A simple sentence wiped out everyone's suspicions.

If Qin Ran hadn't known what John was going to do, he would have been deceived by such a secret order.

It's like the deputy sheriff Lestrade.

The deputy sheriff's attention was completely focused on the gang members, and he was constantly looking for trouble with those people every day.

Among them, there is not only its own insistence on justice, but also a sense of competition.

Competition with Sheriff John!

In this regard, Qin Ran was noncommittal.

But the wariness of the peeping man is getting stronger and stronger.

An understatement of the secret order completely diverted the attention of Deputy Sheriff Lestrade, who might cause trouble to the other party.

Such a method once again shows that the identity of the other party is not simple.

In fact, when Qin Ran came to this library on the first day, he noticed a different kind of gaze.

This gaze was well hidden, but for Qin Ran, whose perception had reached D-, it was extremely clear.

surpassed the perception of ordinary people, which was enough for Qin Ran to discern the peeping person hidden in the shadows to himself.

However, Qin Ran did not act rashly.

Because, Qin Ran knew very well that it was just one of the other party's subordinates.

An extremely capable subordinate.

Just by looking at the corner of his eye, Qin Ran judged that it was a good hand.

The body is two meters long, even if he sits there, bending his back as much as possible, making others look rickety, but the wide robe cannot completely cover the strong and powerful muscles.

The arms that are comparable to the thickness of ordinary people's thighs are enough to show that the opponent's melee ability is strong.

Moreover, the other party's skill of standing in the shadows, in Qin Ran's opinion, has also reached the entry-level [stealth].

Qin Ran couldn't tell if the other party knew special attack techniques.

But the tall and sturdy body combined with the [Stealth] technique made Qin Ran subconsciously think of the guardian knight.

Even if the other party was not as strong as Gong Lansen.

But not to be underestimated.

One more important point: how many of these subordinates are there in the so-called 'Evan'?

Such speculation appeared in Qin Ran's mind from a week ago.

Because this represents whether his plan will succeed in the end.

The other party doesn't look like a guy who puts himself in danger.

Even if you are absolutely sure, you will bring enough men.

It's fine if it's just one or two of these men, but if it's four or five? Or even more?

Although according to the fact that the other party will recruit people like Swoko and Rushan, the other party should not have more capable subordinates, but who can guarantee that this is not a misleading given by the other party.

Therefore, Qin Ran became more and more careful.

Not only is every book read carefully, but also meticulously taking notes - even if the other party can only check the books they are reading, they can't determine the premise of the notes.

Taking a long breath, Qin Ran once again opened the book in front of him.

Even if it's pretending, he has to pretend to be real.

……

Just as it was about to get completely dark, the library director walked in.

"Mr. Qin Ran, we're closing!"

The other party reminded Qin Ran.

"Okay! I'm going to be done right away! ”

Qin Ran said as he quickly used a pen to copy the words on the book in the notebook he carried with him, and after doing all this, he looked at the librarian in front of him with a smile.

"Thank you for your care over the past week!"

"How's it going, is there a catch?"

"Well, great gain, today will be the last time I come to inquire, thank you again for your generosity!"

"Hands up!"

After mutual greetings, Qin Ran said goodbye to the librarian, and someone took him out of the underground library and watched Qin Ran get into the carriage and leave.

And just a moment after Qin Ran left, the librarian also left in a carriage.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage came to a hidden alley behind the commercial street.

After three investigations, the librarian was led into a slightly dimly lit room by a strong man who was two meters tall.

"Your Excellency!"

The librarian bent over the man sitting in the room, shrouded in shadows.

"How?"

A deep voice came from the shadows.

"Qin Ran has consulted all the information about the Dawn Church in that era, and he should have gained something-he recorded it all in the notebook he carried!"

The librarian reported in detail, and paid attention to it as if he was smart.

"We can send someone to steal that notebook!"

However, this makes the people in the shadows feel displeased.

"Do you want me to do what you tell me?"

The other party said this, in a light tone.

However, the librarian was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

"Great, sir, you know I didn't mean that!"

The librarian knelt on the ground and replied with a trembling body.

The librarian, who knew the identity of the other party and what it represented, was completely filled with fear.

However, such a plea for mercy does not seem to have had much effect.

"Tru!"

The other shouted softly, and then, bowing his head and thinking.

The two-meter-tall strong man appeared in the room, grabbed the librarian's neck, and instantly retracted his strength.

Click!

After a crisp sound, the head librarian, who had just reported the news, broke his neck, and his body was thrown out of the room.

The whole time, the person sitting in the shadows did not even lift his head.

I didn't care at all.

For him, the death of the librarian was no different from the killing of a fly.

Of course, as usual he would not be so 'harsh'!

However, after a betrayal, he decided that it was a must.

"Swoko, Ruthhan!"

The man sitting in the shadows whispered like this.

Judging from the information he received, these two guys were completely committed to the great detective.

As for what?

Of course, it was the great detective who was more likely to lead them to the Dawn Church, which had accumulated thousands of years of wealth.

He knew about the greed of those two guys.

Moreover, he has always used it as a means to control the other party.

He thinks he's doing a good job.

But reality gave him a slap in the face.

Those two guys actually betrayed him!

He swore that he would show the two men what the fate of the betrayer was.

However, he will teach the guy who betrayed him even harder!

"Qin Ran!"

The other party snorted coldly.

Then, several commands followed.

The calm night immediately became turbulent.
