"I need you to explain the case to me in detail!"

Looking at the extremely simple description of the side quest, Qin Ran said slowly.

"Aren't you looking for Hunter's daughter? The guy who treats all the cops as his own servants! ”

Sheriff John glanced at Qin Ran and snorted coldly with disdain, expressing his dissatisfaction with Hunter.

However, he immediately told Qin Ran everything he knew.

"The body was found by a drunk this morning, near the train station!"

"It's like garbage, thrown in a corner!"

"I've been in contact with a lot of vicious guys, but none of them would treat corpses like this!"

Speaking of the murder case in front of him, Sheriff John became irritable again, subconsciously lit a cigarette, and handed one to Qin Ran.

However, Qin Ran refused.

He picked up the pipe in his hand and gestured to the other party.

Even though it was an empty pipe, there was no shreds of tobacco in it, and there was no match in his hand.

But he still persuaded Sheriff John.

"Pipes are too troublesome, far less convenient than cigarettes, especially ship brand cigarettes, which are very good, you should try them!"

Sheriff John muttered, lit a cigarette, and began to puff into the clouds.

After taking two puffs in succession, he continued.

"I'm short of manpower right now, and if you're willing to help, I'd appreciate it!"

"This is the certificate I signed, and it will get you into the church school that Hunter's daughter attends, and I hope you will get something out of it!"

As he spoke, Sheriff John picked up his pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.

After more than ten seconds, the other party handed the paper to Qin Ran.

I saw that it was written-

Qin Ran, a consultant to the police, is specially hired by the police department.

Sheriff: John

Director: Patrick

1861.4.1

Underneath the signature is the seal of a police station.

Looking at the signature that belonged to the director, Qin Ran looked at John in surprise.

"That bastard guy went on a wedding trip two weeks ago, left everything to me, and then something was a headache!"

John said and took a heavy drag on his cigarette.

"I thought you'd send someone to help me find someone!"

Qin Ran waved the letter of appointment in his hand.

"I've told you, I'm short of manpower right now! Extreme lack! ”

John said angrily.

Facing the other party's emphasis, Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders.

Obviously, this is the limit of the other party's help - if you want to get more help, you have to complete side quests.

This is a bit different from his previous speculation, but the essence has not changed.

"Regardless of whether the side quest is triggered or not, you should get a letter of appointment!"

"However, players who don't have a trigger will choose to go directly to the school where Altiri attends!"

"If anything happens there, I'll need to hurry!"

Thinking of this, Qin Ran immediately stood up.

He needed to hurry up and take a look at the dumping site near the train station.

After that, whether it was a gain or not, it was important to make a quick trip to the church school just in case - Hunter had mentioned that Altilly would take the carriage to school on time every day, and the rest of the time, including weekends, was in his and his wife's sights!

Think of the missing Alteri. The box under Miss Hunt's bed.

Qin Ran believes that the school will be a very important place.

There may not be a direct clue, but at least, he can find out who taught the missing Al Ttilly. Miss Hunt is knowledgeable.

And this may be the next clue to find the other party.

"See you later!"

Qin Ran waved his hand at John, and without waiting for the other party's response, he walked out.

went straight out of the police station, and as soon as Qin Ran raised his hand, he beckoned a carriage.

"Train station!"

Qin Ran instructed the coachman like this.

……

Noisy crowds, messy crowds, foul-smelling, filthy floors.

Qin Ran, who got out of the carriage, immediately saw another side of the city.

There is no well-dressed, peaceful smile.

There is hardship and patience just to live.

There are people begging for a living everywhere.

Young men living as coolies, middle-aged women buying and selling groceries, screaming newsboys, and beggars.

There are also some guys who blend in with the people around them, but they are very different.

They wear shabby clothes, but their palms are extremely clean and flexible, often squatting or standing in the corner, watching the travelers, once they find the target, they will quietly follow, with those clean, flexible hands, to get the harvest.

Under Qin Ran's gaze, these people had already completed several thefts.

And their identity no longer needs to be doubted.

Thief!

However, Qin Ran didn't meddle in his affairs, he had more important things to do.

Qin Ran glanced around.

Soon, Qin Ran found his goal.

The uniformed policeman is still very conspicuous here.

Even if it's in a corner.

Qin Ran walked over.

"Stand back, you can't get close to this place for the time being!"

Looking at Qin Ran, who walked in with a long box on his back, the policeman who stayed behind immediately said loudly.

This is a young man who stands up straight even if he is left alone.

Be conscientious and responsible, and should have a full sense of justice.

Qin Ran guessed like this, and at the same time, took out his appointment letter.

"You are Your Excellency Qin Ran, I have heard your name, hello, I am Carl!"

After the young policeman carefully checked Qin Ran's appointment letter, a smile appeared on his face.

Once again, the identity arranged by the game plays a role.

Of course, in the end, it was able to pass, or it relied on the letter of appointment in hand.

Qin Ran put away the letter of appointment and asked.

"Hello, I'm Qin Ran!"

"Can I go in and have a look now?"

"Of course!"

The other party replied in the affirmative, and turned to one side.

Qin Ran stepped in.

It's a dirtier, smellier alley than the outside.

The alley is not wide, it can be said to be very narrow and unusual, and at the end of the alley is a high wall, which seems to be the back wall of a certain building.

Ordinary people don't come to such a place.

If it hadn't been discovered by the drunken ghost by accident, I'm afraid that the corpse would not have been found if it was rotten and smelly.

Qin Ran inspected the ground.

As soon as you walk into the alley, the skill [Tracking] opens.

Messy footprints.

Remnants of blood.

One by one, they appeared in front of Qin Ran's eyes.

But there is no more effect, the footprints are messy, constantly covered, and it has long been impossible to distinguish.

And the bloodstains did not have the slightest effect at all except to inform Qin Ran of the location where Qin Ran's body appeared.

Qin Ran subconsciously frowned.

It wasn't what he wanted.

His gaze looked at the walls on either side, and he spotted a patch of red on the left-hand wall.

Bloodstain!

Qin Ran walked over and looked at the bright red.

My mind was racing.

"There is no trace of dragging on the ground, and the murderer entered here with the corpse on his shoulder!"

"In order to cover the body, you have to put on a sack or something!"

"But the corpse's blood should have soaked a little, that's why it left such a blood stain!"

"However, there is not much soaking, otherwise, the ground would not be free of dripping marks!"

"This shows that the distance from which the murderer killed that lady is not far from here!"

"Moreover, in order to hide the identity of that lady, the murderer deliberately ruined the other party's face!"

Then, Qin Ran gestured to the height of the bloodstains.

"The other party is not tall, but he should be very strong, otherwise he will not be able to carry a female corpse!"

"Moreover, the other party rubbed against the wall on the left, indicating that the other party was carrying the female corpse on his left shoulder, and the other party should have a muscular and more powerful left arm, which is left-handed!"

"The other party must have great hatred for disemboweling that lady, and he has mastered a certain slaughtering technique!"

"Putting aside the possibility of the other party showing off, why doesn't the other party bury and burn the body in a safer way?"

Qin Ran asked himself.

A corpse was abandoned here, even though the alley was hidden.

But it's definitely not as good as burying and burning.

Unless......

It is more convenient and hidden for the other party to do this!

There is no doubt at all!

Qin Ran's eyes looked out of the alley, even if he was standing in the depths of the alley, he could clearly see the coolies carrying goods in the distance.

It seems that those begging for a living in the distance are completely in line with his speculation.

"Carl, I've made some discoveries!"

Qin Ran said to the young policeman.

"What did you find?"

The young policeman looked surprised, even after hearing about Qin Ran's reputation, he couldn't believe that Qin Ran had discovered it so quickly.

"The murderer should be slightly lower than you, but he's strong and left-handed—if you go there and ask who has been with a red-haired woman lately, and who was a butcher or butcher's apprentice before, you might find something unexpected!"

Qin Ran pointed to the coolies in the distance.

The identity of the policeman is more convincing to ask than him.

It's also more deterrent - this is what Qin Ran wants.

If the murderer is really a coolie, such a deterrent is enough to make the other party extremely flustered and leak out.

"Hmm...... Good! ”

The young policeman was a little hesitant, but he still did what Qin Ran said.

Undoubtedly, the reputation of the game's identity has once again played a role.

And everything was as Qin Ran expected.

Moments later, there was a riot in the place where the coolies gathered.

A small but strong man pulled out a dagger and kidnapped an emaciated man.

People dodged.

The young policeman confronted each other, but did not take control of the situation.

On the contrary, the other party became more and more manic, and the dagger in his hand had already cut the neck of the kidnapper.

The blood came out, and exclamations erupted again.

And Qin Ran was ready to make a move.

With Carl's identity, the purpose of luring the other party out has been achieved, and there should naturally be no casualties next.

However, the next moment, Qin Ran frowned slightly.

A palm was approaching his coat pocket.
