There are three chairs around the table.

Two of the chairs were not pulled apart, but were pushed under the table, leaving only the back of the chair outside.

The third chair was pulled apart.

Not only open, but also in front of the chair legs, there are footprints.

Qin Ran followed the footprints and saw those dozens of books.

Moreover, these footprints are not strange to him.

It belonged to the corpse that died at the staircase on the second floor.

Almost instantly, such a picture appeared in Qin Ran's mind: the other party had discovered the attacker, so he hurriedly put down the things in his hand and rushed towards the secret room, preparing to stop the attacker.

But he didn't expect the strength of the attacker at all, far beyond imagination, not only did he not stop the other party, but he was also killed by the other party.

Or rather......

"The attacker knew about the existence of the other party before deliberately letting the other party find out?"

Qin Ran recalled the footprints left by the attacker on the sofa, and confirmed this guess more and more.

"This attacker is more familiar with this place than I thought!"

"Who is the identity of the other party?"

The more certain the speculation, the more suspicious Qin Ran became.

Soon, though, he set his sights on the pile of books.

According to the traces left behind, after discovering that someone attacked, the deceased at the staircase on the second floor must have hidden something here.

"I hope it's not been raided!"

Qin Ran looked at the relatively neatly arranged books, and thought silently in his heart.

From top to bottom, from left to right, Qin Ran searched for stacks of books.

Shi Qi also joined in after Qin Ran briefly talked about it.

As for why Qin Ran was able to see footprints that he couldn't see at all?

After working with Nikailei several times, Sage has become accustomed to being surprised.

After all, a psychic is able to see too much and he can't see things to come.

So, Shi Qi was concentrating on finding what might be hidden in the books.

And this kind of dedication has made him rewarded.

"Found it!"

Shi Qi picked up a page from a certain book and gestured to Qin Ran.

"What is this?"

Qin Ran's gaze looked at the unfolded paper, and his expression was slightly groaning.

It reads-

Pure Ruby X1

Blood Queen Crown x1

Unknown Beast Egg X1

Manuscript of Van Tos X1

……

Although it was a transcribed note, the subsequent handwriting became blurry because the paper was folded before the ink dried.

"What is this?"

"Alchemy formula?"

Shi Qi asked.

"I don't know which recipe needs someone's manuscript!"

Qin Ran rolled his eyes and checked the remaining books again.

Unfortunately, apart from this transcribed note, nothing else has been found.

"I'm going to take these things with me!"

Qin Ran pointed to the books and various materials around him.

"As it should be!"

Shi Qi didn't say anything like evidence that couldn't be moved.

The mystery side has rules for the mystery side.

To join them, he had to adapt to such rules.

Of course, his duties as a police officer also made him tell his colleagues again to clean up the mess, and told him to inform him of any other findings.

For such an admonition, Shi Qi's colleagues were extremely willing.

In the past two years, the mysterious events that have occurred on the West Coast have made them know for sure that in addition to the world they are in, there is also an unknown world.

The simplest example is the cruise ship on the golden beach.

Even the artillery can't damage a bit, but it 'devours' the cruise ship of the previous boarder, which is enough to subvert the three views of a normal person.

"They were terrified!"

Qin Ran, who had moved all the valuable items into the car and restarted the pickup, said.

Although the previous policemen tried their best to make a calm and serious appearance, under Qin Ran's keen vision, the unnaturalness in the other party's expression and the sweat in the palms of his hands were too obvious.

"The first time I encountered a mysterious event, I wasn't much better than them!"

"It takes time to get used to and ......"

"Some grooming!"

"I'll report to the director and ask him to find a psychologist to help everyone!"

Shi Qi let out a sigh, and the state of his colleagues brought back his worst memories.

"Psychologist?"

"Are you sure?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

If there are any unpleasant experiences in the [Psychic Partner] dungeon world, the psychologist who treated Roque is definitely among the best.

"The Roque thing was an unexpected ......"

"The poor boy!"

Shi Qi obviously understood what Qin Ran was talking about, and he sighed again.

Chirping!

The rapid braking made the friction between the tires and the asphalt road emit a unique smell of rubber after heating, and Shi Qi, who was not wearing a seat belt, slammed into the front desk of the passenger seat.

Bang!

In the dull sound, there was Shi Qi's cry of pain.

"Hey, 2567, I'll admit that the psychiatrist we met before was a false guy, but you don't need to be so angry every time you mention him!"

"After all, not every psychologist is like that, and there are many good ones with real talents!"

Shi Qi covered his forehead and grinned.

"Roque!"

Facing the complaint, Qin Ran asked with a solemn expression.

"What?"

Shi Qi was stunned, and didn't understand what Qin Ran meant.

"I mean, where is Roque now?"

"Have you forgotten that Roque is a good hand with a knife!"

Qin Ran said very quickly.

"It can't be Roque, right?"

"He was in a nursing home in the suburbs......"

Shi Qi said subconsciously.

However, the more he talked about it, the more he was not confident, because according to Qin Ran's several conditions of 'about 1.8 meters tall, athletic, and good at using knives', Luo Ke completely complied.

"We should go to that suburban sanatorium now!"

"I'll show the way!"

Shi Qi changed his original mind.

"Now?"

"It's late!"

Qin Ran shook his head.

The situation in front of them was obvious, if the knife hand was Roque, he would definitely not be in the sanatorium in the suburbs, and if not, it would be useless for them to rush over.

Simply put, whatever they do is too late.

But it's not without gains.

At least, Qin Ran was no longer confused about where that knife hand came from.

Even if it's not Roque, it's inseparable from the Wanderer Association.

Thinking that after his parents were attacked and killed, the long knife in Luo Ke's hand seemed to come to life, Qin Ran's brows were tightly locked.

Not only because he didn't think of Roque, a good knife player, based on the corpse's wounds in the first place, but also because he remembered that a member of the Wanderers' Society had personally mentioned 'that'.

"Shiqi, is there any news of the Wanderers' Association?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Yes!"

Shi Qi nodded, but his subsequent answer made Qin Ran's face change.

PS First Update~

Yesterday the third shift was too late, and I got up today and felt dizzy all the time, and my body was uncomfortable......

I rested for a while before I got better.

So, this chapter is a bit late.

Decadence, which is not suitable for staying up late, is a real tragedy!

Everyone's forgive me. (To be continued.) )
