Chapter 23 Suspicions
When Mary pushed open the door and Qin Ran saw the situation in the room, he knew that his guess just now was not wrong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's a small, but not small, room.
On the left-hand side, two three-meter-high and five-meter-wide books completely block one wall.
On the right-hand side, there is only a low table with an empty shelf on it.
According to the style of the shelf, it should be a shelf for longsword weapons.
However, now the shelves are empty.
Directly opposite Qin Ran was a desk.
The desk was a normal size, with one end facing the doorway and the other facing the window of the wall opposite the door.
A chair was pushed under the table, revealing only the back of the chair.
The moonlight shone in through the window, covering the ground with a layer of silver frost, and making a sword mark on the ground more and more conspicuous.
The sword mark stretched from the doorway to the window, nearly ten meters long, enough to sink into the palm of a hand.
"What a sharp sword!"
Qin Ran squatted down and lowered his palm into the sword marks, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
He was very familiar with this kind of sword mark.
His [Foot Knife] is capable of inflicting similar marks.
But it can't reach this length.
"The sword was cut from the room to the ......"
Qin Ran followed the sword mark to the window.
The sharp sword marks had a sense of spreading here, and the floor was a little crumbled, far less straight than the previous cut.
Empirically, there are only two reasons for this sense of diffusion.
First, the strength is not enough, and I am not familiar with this technique.
It's like him who first mastered the [foot knife].
Second, if there is an accident, suddenly retract the force!
The sharp, straight marks of the sword are enough to show that the person who slashed this sword is very familiar with this technique.
So, only the second one remains.
"Not only convergence, but also because of convergence, it was counterattacked, and someone nailed it to the door with a sword?"
Qin Ran walked back to the starting point where he had slashed out this sword.
Behind the door, remnants of blood and a sword mark several inches deep into the door panel were found.
This sword mark is extremely narrow, it should be a stabbing sword or a thin sword.
After turning on the [Tracking] field of vision again, and after turning around the room to confirm that he had not missed anything, Qin Ran turned to look at Mary.
"Is this the room where your mother was killed?"
He asked.
When Mary calmly took over the title of 'Master of Swutburg' from her mother's hands, Qin Ran guessed that the other party's mother had been killed.
It's just that Qin Ran didn't expect Mary's mother to have considerable strength.
Based on what he saw in the room, it was Mary's mother who cut the straight sword mark.
However, it is a pity that the other party came prepared.
Directly turn defeat into victory by some small means.
Or more accurately: victory in a more relaxed way.
Even if Mary's mother had reasons such as backlash and stunned, it was not something that ordinary assassins could do if they crossed a distance of ten meters with a single blow and pinned the target to the door panel.
"Interesting!"
A strong curiosity rose in Qin Ran's heart.
An extraordinary castle hostess, a prepared assassin, and a minister with the king's secret order, Qin Ran unconsciously guessed the relationship between them.
Of course, this did not prevent him from listening carefully to Mary's answer.
"Yes!"
"This is the room where my mother was killed!"
Mary nodded, holding back her grief, trying to say what she knew in a calm tone.
"My mother used to read here at night, and it was the same that night - after watching me fall asleep, my mother came here and continued to read, and didn't come back to the bedroom all night, which doesn't happen often, but it's not impossible, so I didn't care when I woke up until I ......"
Although she held back her emotions, Mary's voice was still a little choked up when she said this.
Qin Ran wanted to comfort the other party, but he didn't know what to say.
It can only be silence.
After about a few seconds, Mary's voice rang out again.
"At breakfast, Gal Ate and I had already gone to the restaurant, but my mother hadn't shown up yet! Feeling that something was wrong, Gal Art and I arrived here to find that my mother had been nailed behind this door, completely out of breath. ”
Mary said.
It seems to be talking about someone else's business.
Compared with the previous choking, the appearance at this time was even more sad in Qin Ran's eyes.
As an orphan, he never knew what his parents' love was.
But he knows that if he originally had the love of his parents, but then he lost it......
It must have tasted bad.
"Do you know where your mother's saber is?"
"And what was she looking at at her desk at the time?"
Qin Ran pointed to the desk that was empty except for quill pens and some blank paper, he spoke quickly, hoping to sweep away such an uncomfortable atmosphere through dialogue.
"Nope!"
"I haven't touched anything in this room except for my mother, who is the same as when she was killed!"
The girl shook her head.
"Missing Sabres and Books, Letters, ......"
Qin Ran muttered to himself, but stopped abruptly.
If the saber is missing, it can only mean that the saber is extraordinary or has other meanings.
There is only one possibility if books and letters disappear.
The words are written on it.
And the situation in front of him made Qin Ran subconsciously think of the contact information of the previous 'Master of Swut Castle' and the king Qincha: letters!
"Before, I asked you, 'Why did your mother know that the minister was missing?'
Qin Ran looked at Mary and asked.
"Yes!"
"They communicated in letters, but every time they read them, my mother would immediately burn them! And, as far as I know, my mother doesn't write down the burned letters again, so it's not the letters that disappear on the desk! ”
Mary said.
"Is that so?"
Qin Ran groaned.
Mary's mother was careful enough that such a person would not be easily seized.
"Do you know the contents of the letters?"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
"Know something!"
"That Chin cha agreed to meet my mother in Tita Town, but she didn't show up on time, which made my mother upset, so she started contacting some friends, including 2567 you, and asked them for help!"
As she spoke, Mary looked at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran's young face made the girl wonder how Qin Ran became friends with her mother.
"Your mother's hunch is right!"
"She's been assassinated here!"
"Her assassin knows her well and is well prepared - not only to make this place silent, but also to seize the opportunity to kill your mother!"
Qin Ran couldn't answer such a question at all, he could only bring the topic back to the original girl's request for help.
"Therefore, the person who assassinated her should be the original acquaintance and friend!"
Qin Ran emphasized.
"Is that so?"
Mary bowed her head.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
"I don't want to disturb you, but I have to warn you that we need to get out of here - the previous assassin won't be the last."
Qin Ran patted the girl's shoulder and said.
He didn't want to see the other person's sad expression.
"Where are we going?"
The girl asked blankly.
"Teta Town!"
Qin Ran said categorically.
There are so many doubts there.
Include......
That Chin Cha.
