Chapter Twenty-Six: Joslan Lansford

Ryan squatted down to carefully examine the body of the guard, and found that the fracture of the corpse's neck looked very flat, and the murderer was most likely to use an extremely sharp knife or long sword as a murder weapon, and the attack was very clean, it was obvious that the murderer was not the first time to kill someone, so could the murderer who killed the guard be the same person as the murderer today? If it is the same person, then the murder weapon is not only a knife or a long sword, but also a sharp weapon such as scissors.

Just now when the carriage passed in front of the three of them, a large snow fog was raised, and the guards were also killed at the moment when the snow fog was raised, because of the snow fog, so they did not see the murderer's figure, the murderer relied on the speeding carriage and the snow fog raised as a cover when he killed people, and there is a possibility that the car would not have been arranged by the other party in advance, if this is the case, it may explain why only the shoe prints of the deceased can be found at the scene of the murder but not the shoe prints of the murderer, Not a drop of blood was seen in the snow, and the murderer sat in a pre-arranged carriage and killed the deceased at the moment when the carriage sped past the victim.

Ryan was frowning at this time, and the guards who led them were killed, and before they could check the remaining two murder scenes, a man in black with a black ghost mask on his face had already drawn his bow and arrows, and was standing on the balcony of the second floor of an old mansion two hundred meters behind them, because the tree was blocking the two of them from noticing,

Ryan just stood up from the ground, the long arrow instantly off the string, the arrow still with red powder in the faint sunlight glowing with a strange luster, cutting through the sky, mixed with gusts of wind towards the back of Ryan's neck, seeing that the next moment will pierce his throat and kill it completely, at this moment, Ryan's right hand was suddenly pulled by Claude on the side, the whole person involuntarily tilted to the side, the sharp arrow galloped forward, and pierced deeply into a dead tree on the side of the road.

Claude turned his head to look in the direction where the arrow came from, but the man in black had long since disappeared, and when he turned around, he heard Ryan looking at him with a calm face, and said in a cold voice: "Let's go, don't waste any more time, it's time to find the second murder scene." ”

Claude looked at him and couldn't help but feel very speechless, didn't the other party know that if he moved a little slower just now, he would have died here, because he was still so calm and still thinking about the case, but he didn't say what was in his heart, but replied: "Yes." Then he walked out of the alley after the other party, and just outside the alley, he met two people that he didn't expect, that person was his "friend" Xia Zuo and Alyssa who used to be in the commander's mansion, no, they were not friends, they just stayed in the commander's mansion together for two months, there was only a moment of surprise on their faces, but they quickly regained their calm, since they were used to being alone, they no longer needed any friends.

So he was about to walk towards the second murder scene as if he didn't know the other party, and Claude suddenly asked behind him at this time: "Young master, it's rare to meet an old friend, aren't you ready to say hello?" ”

Ryan glanced at him coldly and said coldly: "No, and we're not friends, I don't have such a thing as friends, and I don't need it." What's more, now that he has left the Commander's Mansion, he has nothing to do with those people, but even if he pretends not to know, it doesn't mean that the other party will pretend to turn a blind eye, Alyssa immediately ran over as soon as she saw Ryan, Xia Zuo only saw Ryan at this time, but he didn't really come to greet him, in the end, he didn't really regard the other party as a friend, not to mention that they would come here today and have something very important to do.

Alyssa didn't expect to see Ryan here, with a very happy look on her face, she took the initiative to reach out and hold his hand, looked at him and asked, "Ryan, why are you here?" ”

Ryan's brows furrowed imperceptibly, to be honest, he was really not used to being too intimate with a person who had nothing to do with him, and the other party was still a member of the opposite sex, but he couldn't just shake off the other party's hand on the street, thinking of this, he showed just the right smile, and replied: "Because we have something very important to do." ”

"It's a case of breaking a haunting, isn't it? So do we! Alyssa said, her expression extremely excited.

Ryan was surprised at first when he heard this, and then frowned, to be honest, this has nothing to do with his half a dime, and his right hand was quietly pulled out of the other party's hand, and then took a step back and said, "I'm sorry, we should be out of company." Before the other party could speak, he and Claude had already turned around and walked away quickly.

Alyssa was stunned for a moment, and then turned her head to look at Xia Zuo on the side, she felt that Ryan seemed to be very different from before, although the other party's personality was also very indifferent when he was in the commander's mansion, he never showed the slightest smile on his face, and he always looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, but he was not as indifferent to her as today, it was as if he didn't know her, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, and returned to Xia Zuo's side dejectedly, Xia Zuo glanced at her and couldn't help but sigh speechlessly, I didn't know what to say for a while, Luohua deliberately flowed ruthlessly, and only after a while did he speak: "Let's go." Then she walked forward quickly, and Alyssa sighed as she followed behind her.

At this time, Ryan and the two had come to the second murder scene, there was a male corpse lying on the snow and the death method was the same as the death of the first murder scene, the scene was also only able to see the deceased's own footprints, but did not see the murderer's footprints, and no blood stains were found on the snow, so the situation at the third murder scene was the same, just at the first murder scene, the sharp arrow that suddenly shot at him was very likely that the murderer did not want them to continue the investigation, That's why he tried to stop them, and the murderer didn't just want to scare him at that time, but most likely wanted to kill people directly.

But even if they checked the two murder scenes, they could only prove that the murderers of the three murders were the same person, and the modus operandi was exactly the same as he guessed, but they didn't even know what the identity of the deceased was, and they didn't find anything on the deceased's body that could prove the identity of the deceased.

However, with the disgust of those policemen for him, I am afraid that they will not tell him what they have investigated, but he does not seem to need to trouble those who are opposed to him, thinking of this, Ryan looked at Claude, who was standing on his left and said nothing, and asked, "Claude, do you know where the sharp arrow that was fired at the scene of the first murder just now?" ”

Claude was stunned for a moment, then nodded before replying, "Of course I know." ”

The smile on Ryan's face couldn't help but deepen a little, and he said, "Maybe we can go there and find some valuable clues." ”

"Yes." Claude replied.

Then the two of them walked towards the abandoned old mansion, and at this time, there were bursts of suppressed cries from the abandoned old mansion, as if they were afraid of being heard, so they deliberately suppressed the voice so low, the man in black with a black ghost mask on his face was annoyed by this cry, and was afraid that this cry would cause other ideas and suspicions passing by the mansion, so he stood up from the ground and took a few steps to a dusty table and stopped, Immediately, he squatted down and reached out to drag the fair-skinned and handsome boy, who was only nine years old and was covering his mouth and crying in a low voice, from under the table by force.

This is his biological brother - Joslan Lansford, the earl of the Lansford family, but this person has been more favored and valued than his eldest son since birth, so he has always been extremely disgusted with this younger brother, so every time he waits for their father, the Marquis of Howard, and their mother, the Marquise Caroline, to go out, he will do everything to insult and torture each other, and when he sees him being bullied by himself, he will only hide in the corner and cry, he will call him a "waste", but even if he suddenly wants to resist one day, With his weak appearance, I'm afraid he can only be bullied.

Ruoslan was afraid of the person in front of him, so he began to struggle incessantly to break free from the other party's hand, and at the same time hid under the table and grabbed the table leg with his left hand as if grasping the last straw, Benson was not angry when he saw this, although the mask covered the expression on his face, but the tone of his voice was mocking and abusive: "You stinky rat will only hide and cry all day long, I really don't know why my father and mother only spoil you!" ”

Ruoslan's royal blue eyes were almost filled with endless hatred, "If you hadn't taken drugs yourself, gambling and were caught red-handed by your father, he wouldn't have done that to you!" He was both afraid and resentful of the one in front of him, and this was the first time he had retorted to the other party in so long since he had been bullied by the other party.

Benson didn't expect that Ruoslan, who had been insulted or beaten by himself in the past, would dare to say such a thing today, and then couldn't help but be furious and overturned the whole table, and the table fell to the ground with a loud noise, looking at the other party's bloodless face was full of fear, he reached out and grabbed his collar and slammed him viciously on the ground, stepped on his thin body, and almost gritted his teeth and said: "When is it your turn to point fingers at me, this little slut!" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and his right leg was immediately shot, and blood suddenly splashed out, Benson couldn't help screaming, and then the whole person fell backwards and sat on the ground, covering his right leg that had already become bloody after being shot, and his teeth were cracked, and then he saw a young man wearing a long black suit, wearing a black trench coat outside, and holding a black pistol in his right hand, standing at the door of the mansion, looking at him coldly, first stunned, and then immediately showed an extremely annoyed look on his face: " You stinky little devil, you dare to hit me with a pistol, you are so tired! ”

Ryan saw that he was still so arrogant at this time, his expression became more and more condensed, and without the slightest hesitation, he pulled the trigger again and shot him in the left leg, and said in a cold tone: "You are useless like you, you only complain about this and that all day long, and what qualifications you have to insult others here, I feel sorry for you." ”

Although Benson can't stand up now, he is still scolding and scolding, and the words he says are extremely ugly, and the words are even more unbearable, and there is no demeanor and cultivation that a nobleman should have, Ryan has a trace of anger in his expression, and he stepped forward a few steps forward and stepped on his right leg fiercely, and the other party suddenly let out a scream that was worse than killing a pig, Ryan was not ready to continue to waste time with a guy who was dying, and said coldly: "You are the one who should die." The index finger of his right hand immediately pulled the trigger, and Benson's screams came to an abrupt end, killing him instantly, blood pouring from the wound on his head.

Ryan put away his pistol and walked over to Joslan and reached out to help him up from the ground, saying, "What's the use of crying, crying won't solve the problem, it will only make things worse, crying in this cruel world will do you nothing but make you look like a coward." Then, before the other party could recover from his stunned, he had already turned to look at Claude, who had just arrived from outside, and ordered: "Claude, dispose of the corpse on the ground." With that, he walked outside.

Ruoslan raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his cheeks, looking at Ryan standing outside the door of the mansion with a puzzled look on his face, he was a little curious about what kind of person the other party was, and what he had experienced, why he dared to shoot a person who was originally alive, he didn't pity Benson, on the contrary, he hated this person very much, but he was simply puzzled.
