"Whatever you ask, as long as I can do it, I can say yes!"

Big businessman Hunter gave a promise.

"Sir, please calm down, I need to know the whole thing before I can help you!"

Qin Ran said as much as possible in an attitude that was in line with his identity.

In reality, Qin Ran had no contact with detectives.

And in that simple memory, there is no appearance of him 'handling cases'.

Therefore, at this moment, Qin Ran can only imitate - imitate those classic detective images from books and video products.

The tone, the demeanor, everything is the same.

Obviously, Qin Ran's imitation still had some effect, and the big businessman Hunter calmed down.

"Sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry!"

"You should be able to understand the impatience of a father in the face of his daughter's disappearance!"

The other party apologized again and again, and then, began to tell.

"We found out that Alteri was missing yesterday morning, right here at my manor!"

"At that time, my wife and maid went to call Altiri for breakfast, but the bedroom door was locked!"

"My wife kept calling the door, but no one answered, and then I had someone bang on the door and find that the bedroom was empty!"

"I sent everyone I could to find Artiri's whereabouts, but nothing was found at all, and there was no trace of Altiri inside or outside the manor!"

The other party told the whole story of the disappearance after it was discovered.

The other party's wife didn't say a word, but the sorrow on her face became more and more intense.

"Can I see Al Tilly's room?"

"Of course!"

Qin Ran asked, and the other party immediately replied, and personally took Qin Ran to the top floor of the building with his wife.

"This floor is only inhabited by Alteri, me and my wife, and her room is here!"

As he spoke, the other party opened a room on the left-hand side.

This is a typical girl's room.

The whole room is not only pink, but also a variety of dolls and dolls.

Qin Ran walked into it and looked at it carefully.

In addition, the skill [Tracking] is immediately activated.

If Qin Ran had any skills that could be linked to detectives, it would naturally be [Tracking].

This is also the source of Qin Ran's confidence to accept the identity of 'detective' quite calmly.

With the opening of [Tracking], all the subtleties in front of him appeared in Qin Ran's eyes.

White, messy footprints all over the room.

After a slight comparison, Qin Ran confirmed that it belonged to Hunter.

Obviously, Hunter really sent someone to find it seriously, and his daughter's room was his own.

However, the direction they were looking for was the wrong game.

Qin Ran's gaze shifted slightly.

In addition to Hunter's footprints, there were footprints of two other people in the room, which were relatively small.

One of them, after comparison, can be identified as Hunt's wife.

As for the remaining one, it is naturally the missing Alteri.

The footprints of this group were extremely orderly, not as flustered as those of her parents, except between the bed and the window, which were very rare in other places.

Qin Ran's gaze followed this set of footprints, observing two places.

On the wooden frame of the window, there was a scratch that was sunken inward—the kind of three-finger hook claw.

On the carpet next to the bed, there were two very conspicuous drag marks - it was a box, Qin Ran judged from the drag marks.

Qin Ran looked at the two places slightly, and then looked at the side of the bed.

The windows open to the outside, and even with his proficient level of [tracking], he can't find anything special after yesterday's heavy rain.

All traces have been completely washed away.

However, the room is different!

Qin Ran's gaze looked at the bottom of the bed.

"Altiri is a very well-behaved child, attending a church school, and is a ...... both at school and at home."

When Qin Ran searched, as a father, Hunter subconsciously praised his daughter in front of outsiders.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a box that Qin Ran dragged out from under Altiri's bed.

The chest was hidden away, in the mezzanine of the floor.

If it weren't for Qin Ran opening the [Tracking] and identifying the two clear drag marks on the carpet, it would have taken a lot of work to find them.

"What is this?!"

Hunter and his wife looked at each other, looking at the box that Qin Ran dragged out from under his daughter's bed, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"I don't know, but your daughter is nowhere near as well-behaved as you think!"

Qin Ran shook his head and looked at the box in front of him, which had a lock on it.

"Can I open it?"

Qin Ran asked, pointing to the lock.

"It's Tilly's personal belongings......"

"But now that Tilly is missing, we must find her!"

Hunter's wife, the sad lady subconsciously stopped Qin Ran, but was immediately stopped by her husband.

Hunter, a big businessman, walked up to his wife and said in a serious tone.

And the next moment, when he noticed the sorrow on his wife's face and reddish eyes, he immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, dear...... I'm so anxious, sorry! ”

Hunter hugged his wife with an apologetic expression.

"I understand!"

Hunter's wife's eyes turned red again, and the lady bowed apologetically to Qin Ran, and left the room quickly.

"I'm sorry, my wife...... Tilly is her most precious daughter, and so is mine! ”

"I've never been so anxious as I am now, and neither has my wife!"

"In the past, when I wanted the police to do their best to help me find Tilly, they actually prevaricated me on the grounds that I was understaffed, and just made a normal case - this is the main reason I came to you!"

"I'm not trying to hide anything from you, I hope you won't mind!"

Hunter whispered.

"Of course not!"

Thinking of the old housekeeper's slightly dissatisfied words with the police before, Qin Ran nodded clearly.

"I'm going to find a tool, I'm going to open it!"

Hunter said and walked outside.

Qin Ran waited quietly.

After a brief encounter, he could see that the Hunters were well-bred and well-educated, and that they loved their daughter very much.

Even if he found out that his daughter had a secret, he decided to keep it a secret.

Otherwise, Hunter doesn't need to find tools himself.

There are so many servants in the manor, all you need to do is give a command.

Qin Ran's wait didn't last long.

After about five minutes, he walked back with a hammer.

Without any more words, Hunter dropped his hammer and smashed the lock on the box in front of him.

The chest was opened.

There are no more items inside, though.

A dagger, a flintlock revolver, a gunpowder bag.

That's all.

But it only occupies less than a fifth of the box.

Based on the items found, Qin Ran could completely guess what the items in the original box were.

Weapons!

Moreover, it is a more competent weapon than the one left in the case.

"Tilly!"

Hunter clasped his palms to his forehead and whispered.

To be able to become a businessman with such a large manor is obviously not a fool, and like Qin Ran, Hunter also guessed what the items that were taken away.

"I don't know what happened, but I'm sure Miss Altilly wasn't kidnapped, her disappearance was voluntary—there are traces here, but, because of yesterday's heavy rain, I can't know more!"

Qin Ran walked to the window and motioned to Hunter to check the traces left by the hook claw.

"Damn, why didn't I find this, if I had found it sooner, I might have been able to recover Tilly!"

After examining the hook marks, Hunter was annoyed.

"Your Excellency Qin Ran, I hope you can help me find Tilly!"

Qin Ran's excellent performance won the trust of this big businessman and expressed it in the most direct way.

A thick pile of banknotes was placed in Qin Ran's hands by the other party.

The maximum denomination is 10.

The total is around 500.

And Qin Ran, based on his simple memory before, knew that this number was definitely worth a lot.

In this copy, a decent man earns only about 30-40 a month.

"It's a deposit, and if you can find Tilly, I'll repay you!"

Hunter assures.

"I'll do my best!"

Qin Ran took the money without hesitation.

Although this money has no real meaning for Qin Ran, it is of great help to him who is penniless in this copy.

[Name: Some currencies]

[Type: Sundries]

[Can I bring out this copy: No]

[Note: This is the currency that is in circulation in a copy of the world.] 】

……

"Sir!"

Just as Hunter was standing in front of an oil portrait of Altilly as an adult, telling Qin Ran more about his daughter, the kind-looking old butler walked over.

"Sheriff John from the police station sent someone and said...... Someone found a corpse with similar features to Miss! ”

The butler said with a little hesitation after Hunter signaled that he could speak directly.

Qin Ran could clearly see that after hearing this, Hunter's face instantly turned pale, and then, his fists clenched, and his whole person's expression became hideous.

A trace of coldness appeared on the other party's body, making people's hairs stand on end.

Murderous!

Qin Ran glanced at the other party in surprise.

Undoubtedly, the other party hides much more than the other person shows.

However, Qin Ran did not ask.

Everyone, there are secrets, don't they?

"Mr. Hunt, it's just similar, not necessarily - I think we need to go see the corpse!"

Qin Ran

"Well, Mike prepares the carriage! Remember not to tell Madame! ”

Hunter nodded immediately and commanded.

"Yes, sir!"

The steward sprang into action at once.
