Chapter 23: It's worth a try

"What did you find again?"

Teresa asked as she stared at Qin Ran's eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

While Boskine inspected the house, the sheriff was not idle, inspecting everything inside and out, including an underground storage room.

Completely unfounded.

But for Qin Ran to find something, the female sheriff was not surprised.

Even, from the bottom of my heart, I had the idea that 'it should be so'.

But such an idea made the female sheriff who refused to admit defeat feel very uncomfortable.

She thought that she should be tougher in front of Qin Ran.

It's not against Qin Ran, it's just for men.

Just as men are naturally more or less prejudiced against women in the same position, when a woman has achieved something, she will also look down on men.

It's not that he has a bad personality.

It's just the instinct of innate confrontation between men and women.

Qin Ran naturally didn't know what the female sheriff thought.

In other words, even if he knew, Qin Ran didn't care.

In Qin Ran's eyes, it was important to be able to complete his task.

As for the rest?

If it weren't for the natives who stood in his way to complete his mission, he wouldn't have made a move.

Ignoring the female sheriff's gaze, Qin Ran, who entered the [Tracking] field of vision, walked straight into the bedroom on the first floor of the room, and raised his hand to turn up the slightly shabby simple bed, revealing the wooden floor.

Knock, knock!

After tapping a few times, Qin Ran locked onto one of them.

Use the serrated teeth on the side of the [Tormentor's Knife] to pull up the nail on it, and then lift the plank.

Suddenly, a corner of a backpack appeared in the eyes of Teresa and Boskin.

The appearance of accurate targets made Qin Ran speed up.

Crunch!

Bang!

Without using the [Torturer's Knife] again, he broke off several nailed wooden planks around him with his bare hands, and even when a wooden board and iron nails were rusted to death, Qin Ran simply smashed them with one punch.

The rude, direct action made Boskine stunned for a while.

Hearing is always just hearing, and when the young man saw Qin Ran's movements, he understood why Qin Ran defeated Seken.

Of course, young people who never understand what Seckon means in Macken can only think of so much.

"Look at our catch!"

Qin Ran said as he took out his backpack and unzipped it.

Hiss!

The young man gasped.

It's not because the young man's vision is narrow, looking at the female sheriff next to him, he is also surprised.

It's really shocking what the backpack contains.

Gold Bars & Jewelry!

Outside the window, under the light of the westerly sun, gold and jewelry shine charmingly.

And when Qin Ran poured all these gold bars and jewels out of his backpack, the floor was quickly covered with bright light, giving people a thrilling feeling.

"This, this ......"

Boskine was completely speechless.

There was also a hint of fascination in the female sheriff's gaze.

A woman's attachment to shiny objects is no different from that of a dragon.

Therefore, the two of them didn't notice Qin Ran's small movements at all.

The two rubies that looked ordinary, but were actually special, were put into Qin Ran's pockets without a trace.

Shattered Ruby.

For the current Qin Ran, it is like sending charcoal in the snow.

As long as he finds some more volcanic ash, his [Burning Hand] can be used again, even if it is lowered to the entry level, but it still has a good effect on monsters such as evil spirits.

When all the gold bars and gems in the backpack are emptied, a box appears at the bottom of the backpack.

The box is made of pure wood, with a layer of color that seems to tell the passage of time.

Without a lock, Qin Ran opened it easily.

A gray, palm-sized stone with no luster appears inside the box.

[Name: Unknown Strange Object]

[Type: Sundries]

[Quality: ??? 】

[Attribute: ??? 】

[Special Effect: ??? 】

[Demand: ??? 】

[Can I bring out a copy: Yes]

[Note: You need to find a professional appraiser to identify it]

……

"What is this?"

The appearance and size of the stone made Qin Ran subconsciously think of the half-brick he had picked up at random in the ruins of Winchester House.

Suddenly, an idea suddenly appeared in Qin Ran's mind.

And when he entered the [tracking] field of vision again, the traces in front of him made him more and more sure of this guess.

"There are only one person's footprints in the entire room and traces of multiple drags and drops on the floor!"

"This person should be Rudel!"

"According to the marks on the floor, those things are different sizes, very complicated, these things are...... Treasures of the Aitland Museum! ”

"So ......"

"Where did Rudel go with all this?"

The answer is self-explanatory.

Call!

The veins gradually became clear, making Qin Ran take a deep breath.

The female sheriff, who had already returned to normal, had a changed expression, and obviously thought of something.

The two looked at each other, and said almost in unison-

"Winchester House!"

A tacit answer.

Same answer.

The young man on the side looked at Qin Ran and Teresa in amazement, saying one by one.

"Two months ago, Butcellus stole the treasures of the Aitlan Museum and borrowed the pins of 'Jackal' Pani. Booty. The channel began to sell those treasures, and Rudel was in charge of them, and the place where they sold the stolen goods should be...... Winchester House bought! ”

"However, there was an accident in it!"

Qin Ran was stunned, and the female sheriff immediately said.

"Even if it is possible that someone is black, it is also possible that the value of this thing is much greater than imagined, of course, it is more likely that the 'jackal' Pani wants to temporarily raise the price, but the representative sent by the other party of the transaction becomes hesitant, and the one behind the scenes has to come out in person! Then, the big guy who had seen everything from the very beginning found it a good opportunity to 'get something for nothing' and get rid of his opponent, and it just so happened that a very suitable scapegoat appeared in front of the big man! ”

Qin Ran nodded and continued.

"When the lost lamb reported that he had caught the 'tail of the clue', and the big man sent a hound, but was killed by the sheep, the big man was a little annoyed and angry, and he simply exposed his true face and killed the lost lamb!"

"But what the big man didn't expect the most was that although the 'Jackal' Pani sent someone to spy on the Winchester House that was blown into ruins, he didn't put what he wanted most and the previous transaction in his own yard, and even, the big man who didn't really participate in the transaction was found out that the person who was being monitored was the person of the 'Jackal' Pani, and suddenly realized that the person who had been trading with his opponent was Rudel who had hidden his true face! But he never imagined that 'Jackal' Parney would trust Rudell so much, and put everything he got and the most precious things in Rudel's place! ”

"So, here's our chance!"

Qin Ran looked at the female sheriff with a smile on her face.

The sheriff's eyes lit up.

She guessed Qin Ran's thoughts!

It's adventurous, but it's worth a try!
