Thinking of this, the corners of Claude's mouth couldn't help but pull a light smile upward, and then raised his head and looked at the sky, at this time, the sky was already slightly white, and then he didn't waste any time to take the thirteen corpses to an abandoned old warehouse, after all, it is not good to deal with corpses in this kind of place, otherwise, if someone finds out that there are corpses hidden in the Barranster Mansion, those families who are already hostile to them don't know how to add fuel to this matter, and the rumors are fierce. It's not something that can be suppressed with just a few words.

At this time, standing under a tree two hundred meters away from the mansion, Conrad and French had obviously seen everything, and the two of them deliberately stayed here all night because they didn't see Ryan being cut by a thousand knives, and there was no way to go back with peace of mind When they saw Richard Hall sneaking into Ryan's bedroom very smoothly, they thought that everything was done, but found that the remaining thirteen killers in the ambush were all killed by Claude quietly.

Conrad found that as long as Claude was alive one day, it would be more difficult for them to get rid of Ryan than to ascend to the sky, this person was not only extremely vigilant, but also followed Ryan almost all the time, even the most loyal Tibetan mastiff is probably just like that, not to mention that Ryan himself is also vigilant, and he can't even hold the weapon used for self-defense in his hand when he sleeps, and he is usually very cunning, and he can't get close at all, it seems that wanting to get rid of the other party is not something that can be done overnight, However, because of this person's vicious personality, there are not a few people in the entire interstellar who want him to die, so it is not easy to say that it is easy to get rid of the other party, and it is not difficult to say that it is difficult.

But Frankie didn't know what Conrad was thinking, he was just annoyed that he couldn't see the murderer who killed his relatives, and he just hated that he couldn't do it himself, so he avenged Edward and Evelyn, as well as his father and mother, and at the same time complained about the gods' refusal to help them, and he had now forgotten that if it weren't for their long-term alliance to persecute Ryan everywhere,

Even if you don't care about his life and death, you won't end up with a miserable death, in Frankie's heart, no matter how they persecute Ryan, it's right, he should stand obediently and be killed by them, but the other party is wrong if he doesn't obediently be killed by them, and even the crime is extremely evil, because Ryan is born dirty and cheap in his eyes, but this person's identity is one level higher than him, how can Frankie tolerate his hatred, and the status of the little slut he looks down on is even higher than him, Naturally, I hate Ryan to the core, and I wish he died sooner.

But the successive failures of the assassination operation have already made Frankie lose patience, and he only feels that Conrad is so useless that he can't even handle a stinky little ghost, and he can't help but begin to regret cooperating with this person It seems that he has to find someone else to continue to cooperate, thinking of this, he turned around and threw his sleeves and walked away quickly, Conrad looked at the figure of the other party leaving angrily, and then his brows couldn't help frowning tightly, looking at the other party's expression, he knew what the other party was thinking now, and they were only temporarily cooperating for a common purpose, Then he took a deep look at the direction of Ryan's bedroom window again, and Ryan happened to be standing in front of the window at this time and looked here from afar, and the eyes of the two collided together from a distance.

A cold look flashed in Conrad's eyes, and then he turned around and walked away quickly, Ryan's blue eyes looked coldly at the back of the other party's departure, and he didn't retract his gaze until he could no longer see it, and as soon as he turned around, he was startled by Claude, who was standing behind him at some point, and then showed a trace of dissatisfaction on his fair and handsome face, and said coldly: "Don't stand behind others silently like this." ”

Claude bowed lightly when he heard this, then stretched out his hand and handed him a letter and said, "Young master, Arnold has sent a letter from there, saying that something very strange has happened, like a haunting. ”

"Haunted?" Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at the other party with interest, then took the envelope and sat back on the sofa to open the envelope, to be honest, he had handled many cases before, but it seems that this type of case like today has only been encountered for the first time, he really wants to see what kind of "haunted incident" will be sooner Thinking of this, he took out the spare ink from the drawer of the table, re-sealed the envelope and printed the ink, then stood up from the sofa, shook the envelope in his hand and said, "Let's go, Let's take a look at what kind of "haunted event" it is. ”

The smile on Claude's handsome face couldn't help but deepen a little, and after answering "yes" in a low voice, he put on a light blue cloak and followed the other party all the way out of the mansion, Claude helped Ryan into the carriage, and then the carriage slowly drove down the path towards the street.

It wasn't until the afterglow of the evening sunset almost dyed half of the sky red, that the carriage stopped at the gate of Arnold City, but there was no guard at the city gate, and after a long time, a guard hurriedly ran over to open the city gate for the two, and explained with an embarrassed look on his face while leading the two out of the scene of the first murder: "Because since yesterday, many people have died inexplicably at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, However, after we checked the murder scene three times, we did not see any murder weapon, and only the footprints of the deceased were seen at the scene, and no footprints of the murderer were found, and we remember very well that there was no snow at all last night, and our master heard that you have solved many bizarre cases, so he wanted to find you to solve this case for us. During the conversation, the three of them had come to a small alley.

Ryan saw the bloody female corpse lying on the snow, this was obviously the first murder scene, the corners of the deceased's mouth on both sides were torn alive by the murderer with scissors to the root of the ear, and the blood flowed everywhere, the reason why he knew that it was torn apart by the murderer with scissors, that was only because the cracks on the corners of the mouth were very neat,

Ryan doesn't know why he remembered the rift girl in Japanese urban legends, or maybe it's because he usually reads too many horror novels, there is a thin black line on the neck of the deceased, it is obvious that the murderer first cut off the deceased's head and then sewed the broken part of the head and neck together with a needle and thread, but what is the purpose of the murderer's doing this, and what is even more strange is that the clothes on the deceased's body have been stained red with blood, but there is no trace of blood on the snow, isn't this the real murder scene? What's going on with the footprints on the snow, or maybe it's the killer trying to make people think it's a "haunted incident".

What's more, the murderer will never lure the deceased here to kill him and then move the body here, so this idea was quickly rejected by Ryan, because there was no blood on the deceased's body and no other clues other than the deceased's footprints were found on the snow at the murder scene, so there was only one possibility left: the murderer took the deceased somewhere else to kill him, and then moved the body here, and then took the deceased's shoes and printed the shape of shoe prints on the ground, makes people think that the deceased walked into a small alley in the middle of the night and was killed, so there is another problem,

If the murderer kills the deceased somewhere else and brings it here, he will definitely leave footprints on the snow, plus the guard just mentioned that it didn't snow at all last night, so the murderer's footprints can't be covered by heavy snow, so how did the murderer not leave footprints on the snow, could the murderer use the fly? If this is the case, the murderer may not be a human at all, or a magician like Claude, so there is a way not to leave footprints in the snow.

If the murderer was not a human or a magician, Claude might be able to detect something, after thinking of this, Ryan turned his head to look at Claude on the side, only to find that he looked down at the corpse on the snow without saying a word and looked pensive, and then Claude looked at him as if he suddenly remembered something, but saw that the other party was also looking at him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with a light smile on his face: "Young master, we should go to the second murder scene." ”

Hearing this, Ryan lowered his eyes and thought about it, indeed, if he wasted time on this deceased person alone, he would never find the truth, and then turned to look up at the escort who was leading the way, his blue eyes shining like jewels in the winter sun, and with a just right smile on his face, he asked, "Where is the second murder scene?" ”

The guard immediately replied, "I'll take you there." Then he turned and walked out of the alley. Ryan and Claude glanced at each other and walked out of the alley together after each other, but they had just walked outside the alley, and a carriage suddenly sped away from the three of them, causing snowflakes to fly in the sky, and then a cloud of blood mist splashed out in an instant, and the guard's head fell on the snow, and his face was full of shock, obviously he didn't expect that a good body would suddenly invite death, and the headless corpse fell straight forward, blood stained the ground,

Ryan and Claude were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, Ryan frowned for a while, and his expression on his face still became extremely cold, the murderer obviously didn't want them to have a chance to find any clues, so he killed the guards who led the way.
