Chapter 53: Empty
Whizzing!
Two flying knives burst through the air, bringing two cold rays of light in the cemetery at night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Be careful!"
Sheriff John reminded loudly, and subconsciously blocked the middle-aged man behind him.
As for Qin Ran?
After seeing Qin Ran's strength, Sergeant John was not worried about Qin Ran at all.
On the contrary, he was even more worried about the person who made a move on Qin Ran,
In fact, the same is true.
Qin Ran's figure disappeared from the spot in a flash, even with two flying knives, and the wide-eyed Sheriff John didn't catch Qin Ran's movements at all.
All he saw was the figure of a strange man when Qin Ran reappeared, holding two flying knives in one hand and a strange man in the other.
John didn't see it clearly, let alone the middle-aged man of the Wayne family.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
The middle-aged man shouted in panic.
"It's okay, just a little accident!"
After Sergeant John comforted the other party, he walked up to Qin Ran and looked at the unconscious man who was being carried.
The other party was dressed in a black power suit, and the clothes on his wrists and feet were tied tightly with strings, and there were two throwing knives and a short sword stuck in the belt around his waist.
On the other side of the belt is a sac.
Inside the bag, there was a crossbow and flintlock pistol, as well as some test-tube potions and the like
And inside the opponent's boots, there is also a dagger hidden.
Looking at these things, John's brow furrowed.
Most people don't carry these things with them.
Of course, the people who appear here can't be ordinary people.
"Who is this guy?"
"He's stalking us?"
John asked.
"Who it needs to be interrogated in a moment, but he got here before we did."
Qin Ran still had the captives on the ground and said with certainty.
First, Qin Ran was absolutely sure that the other party was staying here in advance, otherwise, with his perception, if the other party tracked him, it would be impossible not to find the other party.
Second, the other party should have nothing to do with the Wayne family, whether it is clothing or behavior patterns, more like a guy engaged in some secret activities.
Some stealthy guy is interested in the soon-to-be-ruined Vane family?
Qin Ran walked quickly to the position where the other party was hiding before.
In the field of view of [Tracking], the traces left by the other party are clearly visible
That is, the other party arrived only a little earlier than them.
"As soon as the people of the Revival Society were destroyed, someone appeared here...... Interesting! ”
Qin Ran, who was holding his chin with one hand, scanned back and forth between the captive and the tomb of the first Earl of Wayne.
"How?"
John asked.
"If it weren't for the 'thief. Tomb' such a thing, then, we may accidentally catch a big fish. ”
Qin Ran replied.
Then, he went straight to the burial chamber of the first Earl of Wayne.
Without any difficulty, Qin Ran found the mechanism to open the tomb door.
Ga.
With a turn, the door to the tomb slowly opened.
Looking at the open tomb door, the middle-aged man of the Venn family opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the situation in the tomb, the middle-aged man's mouth was completely wide open, and he couldn't close it at all.
Simple yet fully furnished living room.
There are no coffins, let alone corpses.
All they had was a bed, a desk, a chair, and a blanket made of animal skins.
Judging by the scattered bowls and basins on the ground, at least seven or eight people were once alive here.
"This, this ......"
The middle-aged man stammered, completely speechless.
"This is where that bastard of Kateley is hiding!"
John snorted coldly.
Although the other party is really dead, even so, our sheriff does not have the slightest affection for the other party who participated in and created the 'plague'.
"But, but the bones ......"
Middle-aged people can't articulate what they want to express.
"Maybe it's cleaned up."
John looked at Qin Ran, who was walking back and forth in the tomb, and said with some uncertainty.
What Qin Ran said just now, John didn't forget.
"Big fish?"
John looked down at the still unconscious captive, his brain spinning.
Our sheriff tried to make the connection between what he saw and heard.
But in the end, nothing was found.
"What the hell is going on?"
"What do you mean by big fish?"
John walked into the tomb and asked Qin Ran, who was also thinking.
"Look at this burial chamber."
Qin Ran answered the question.
"It's normal, except that there are no corpses!"
John replied.
"Then have you ever wondered where the coffins and corpses that should have existed here have gone?"
Qin Ran asked again.
"I guess it's been disposed of, right?"
"After all, Kateley's whole bunch is here, and if there is a corpse, it will be very absent!"
John said his previous guess.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded, not denying John's speculation.
Because that's the most plausible explanation for what you're seeing right in front of you.
If it weren't for the lack of corresponding traces!
A coffin containing a corpse, according to the time on the tombstone, has been placed in the tomb for at least forty years, and even the rocky ground should have left traces.
Not to mention this cold and damp burial chamber?
If there really is a coffin to be placed here, let alone the indentation, the moss that grows alone is not something that can be easily disposed of 'clean' by those who come after it.
At least some traces of washing will remain.
But what is clean in front of you is the same as nothing.
"Is there no coffin, no burial chamber for corpses?"
Qin Ran, who was whispering to himself in his heart, didn't say anything more to John, but walked towards the middle-aged man.
"How did the first Earl of Vane die?"
Qin Ran asked.
"He died of a sudden illness, and some people said it was the plague, so he hurriedly sent the body to the tomb along with the coffin."
The middle-aged man replied.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
"That was forty years ago, how could I possibly see that?"
"It's all from the elders."
"The people who were able to witness it with their own eyes should have been there, but now that they have experienced that bastard's civil strife, many people have died in vain."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
"Is that so?"
Qin Ran groaned.
He became more and more aware of the unusualness of the Wayne family.
With the death of the 2nd Earl of Venne...... No, not with the death of the second Earl of Venne, but the other party itself consciously promoted the death of the second Earl of Vene.
Not Kateley.
Kateley is also a pawn.
It should be a deeper guy to hide.
A guy who is not only calculating the Vane family, but also calculating the Dawn Church.
"Who could it be?"
Qin Ran was still thinking about it when he sat in the carriage and returned home, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the captive.
At this moment, the bound captives had come to their senses.
When he came into contact with Qin Ran's gaze, the captive immediately lowered his head.
But the next moment, the other party raised his head again.
"I'm sorry to meet you in this way, 2567."
The other party, whose eyes were cloudy, said as if in a dream.
