Chapter 1601 Approaching

Unlike the first corpse that was soaked and swollen, the six corpses in front of them seemed to have just died and been thrown into the lake in front of them.

Moreover, based on Kieran's experience, the six corpses in front of him should have no internal organs.

Although the ribs supported the chest, the abdomen was unusually dry.

However, even so, the chest and abdominal muscles of one of the shirtless corpses are still very conspicuous, and the arms on both sides are even thicker.

Even though this man is lying here, he still looks very powerful.

Not only this corpse, but the remaining five corpses are also similar, with obvious signs of training on their bodies.

Especially the palms!

There are calluses on the index finger, thumb, tiger's mouth, palm, and back of the palm.

To form such calluses, in addition to using firearms for a long time and practicing unarmed combat, you should also be familiar with cold weapons.

At least he is very familiar with daggers and daggers.

The thickness of the calluses at the tiger's mouth would not have been formed without ten years of practice.

Qin Ran put down the corpse's palm and pinched open the corpse's mouth.

The black hole in the mouth immediately appeared in front of him.

The teeth are gone.

The tongue is gone too.

The teeth should have been knocked out one by one.

And the tongue?

He was dragged out directly.

Moreover, he also brought out a complete set of water.

The operator was undoubtedly very skilled, not only causing these people to suffer, but also causing them to experience fear.

Kieran could completely imagine that the process of having the internal organs in the body being 'pulled out', what these people endured was not just the fear of death.

There is a deeper despair.

Such despair permeated their bodies.

In such despair, the corpse could not be too twisted.

but……

Judging from their expressions after death, the six corpses in front of them looked very peaceful.

It was like seeing through everything and then passing away peacefully.

Unreasonable!

unless……

Qin Ran thought of something and quietly erased the traces, silently withdrew from the crowd, stood at an edge and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Did you see that?"

The female forensic doctor came over and asked in a low voice.

There was a trace of horror on the face of the female forensic doctor.

Obviously, the female forensic doctor with considerable professional knowledge also discovered something was wrong with these corpses.

"Um."

Qin Ran nodded.

"I don't know who did it."

"It's simply scarier than the butcher I remember!"

"I can't imagine how a person could be dragged by his tongue and his whole internal organs pulled out - are they trying to pull a plane with their tongue?"

"But apart from licking, it's difficult for the tongue to pull, right?"

The female forensic doctor said with lingering fear.

Faced with such a question, Qin Ran remained silent.

Because, he had already seen the female detective walking towards him.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

The female detective said directly.

"I'm sorry for what happened to them."

Kieran sighed.

"Have you seen these people?"

The female detective took out six photos.

The shooting picture is very blurry, and the angle is from top to bottom.

Undoubtedly, they were all captured by surveillance cameras.

But no matter how blurry it was, Kieran was able to confirm that the people in these photos were the dead people he had just seen, and the surrounding scenery, judging from his excellent memory, should be...Elm Street!

This is where his identity lives.

"This should be Elm Street."

"But I haven't seen them before."

Kieran told the truth.

Apart from just identifying the bodies, this was the first time he had actually seen them.

"Yeah?"

The female detective looked at Kieran suspiciously.

In the eyes of the female detective, the Kieran in front of her was too suspicious.

Wherever you go, there are cases.

Moreover, it is not a small case.

Each time it was a major case where someone died.

Especially this time.

As soon as the other party arrived at the 'Water and Sunshine Sanatorium', a major incident that had not occurred since the beginning of construction broke out in the entire sanatorium.

Even ‘Moon City’ is extremely rare.

Seven bodies!

You know, those are seven corpses!

call!

The female detective took a deep breath.

"do you know?"

"I didn't have a good impression of an upscale community like Elm Street at first. I always thought that dealing with the people there would be a hassle."

"But today is an exception."

"Because the security system, which is more sophisticated and more secretive than the public, captured everything I wanted."

"They're on Elm Street, and it's all about you!"

"When the murderer who thought he was a clown appeared at your place, they appeared there together, peeping at you."

With that said, the female detective took out another pile of photos.

These photos capture these people from multiple angles.

The date and time are less clearly visible.

Everything was just as the female detective said, these people should be the 'peepers' that Kieran had sensed before - the living part.

"What does this mean?"

"Do you think I killed them?"

"I spent most of my time with you and met that 'package'."

"Then, I went to the morgue to visit my 'ex-wife' and met the guy who made the 'package'. Although I left your sight for a while, I didn't have time to finish it, right?"

"What's more, I have been with Rose since then."

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

The female forensic doctor on the side nodded repeatedly and testified for Qin Ran.

She didn't think Kieran was the murderer either.

Although she had only known this person for two days, it was impossible for him to kill someone besides being weird, cold, stingy, unsympathetic, irritating, and a bit mysterious.

Especially this kind of stranger.

"certainly!"

"Otherwise, would I stand and talk to you?"

"I took you back a long time ago!"

The female detective nodded, then pointed to the corpses and continued to ask: "But do you dare to say that these things have nothing to do with you?"

"Who knows?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe not."

"Just like when the sun shines on me, I feel warm, but I don't think I am alone in this warmth."

Qin Ran shook his head and said.

"Are you talking about your innocence?"

The female detective thought about Qin Ran's somewhat philosophical words just now and asked subconsciously.

She thought that when Qin Ran said this, he must have discovered something.

Just like those famous detectives she knew, they would always say a famous saying after discovering the key point.

Of course, there are also those without famous quotes.

So, those are not famous.

Just when the female detective was looking forward to it, Qin Ran shook his head again.

"No."

"I was stressing that it's tea time."

"You probably don't have time to eat those snacks today. I think it shouldn't be wasted. I would like to suggest to Ms. Sinise that you give me all those snacks and pack them up to take back."

Qin Ran pointed at the cook pushing a trolley filled with snacks and fruits in the distance.

"you……"

Suddenly, the female detective's eyes widened.

If looks could kill, Kieran would definitely be shattered to pieces at this moment.

"I'll keep an eye on you!"

"If I find out that you played a disgraceful role in this matter, I will definitely take you back!"

The female detective finished speaking angrily, turned and left.

In the distance, a police car carrying frogmen was slowly approaching.

Seven bodies were found in this small lake, so naturally the entire lake had to be searched.

Because no one knows whether there will be important clues inside.

Or……

Are there still bodies?

"Are you deliberately retaliating for what Grady just said to you upstairs?"

The female forensic doctor looked at the frogmen who got out of the car and asked softly.

Qin Ran smiled disdainfully.

revenge?

How could he be such a narrow-minded person?

If he was careful, he would not use words to fight back, but would directly kick the opponent in the face, making his face bloom.

Look at that disdainful expression.

The female forensic doctor became more and more suspicious.

She should have understood that Qin Ran didn't bother to do this, but she didn't know why, when she saw Qin Ran's expression, there was a voice in the dark telling her not to offend Qin Ran, otherwise it would be terrible.

The female forensic doctor believed in this intuition very much.

Because she has discovered that she is different from a long time ago.

so……

"Do you want those snacks, fruit and afternoon tea?"

"I'll go tell Sinise and she will definitely agree."

The female forensic doctor followed her instinct and said.

"Thanks."

Qin Ran smiled and answered politely.

Then, when the female forensic doctor walked towards Sinise, Kieran turned around and walked towards the main building of the nursing home again.

He didn't think the female detective would find anything in the lake.

Because, what the other party wants them to see has already been seen.

There can be no more serendipitous discoveries.

And now?

He needs to ask the other person why they are doing this.

Not why these people were killed.

But why did you go to all the trouble to let him who happened to be here see this scene.

The identities of those bodies.

time of appearance.

It's all too much of a coincidence.

The female detective found it incredible.

What's more, Kieran never believed in coincidences.

He quickly walked up the stairs.

Standing in front of door 404, Kieran knocked on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Please come in."

With a voice far more energetic than before, Qin Ran opened the door.

Adams, who had been lying in bed just now, had already stepped out of bed on crutches and was standing by the window, watching everything happening downstairs.

The corners of Adams' mouth curled up slightly.

It seemed that he had seen a good show.

"You seem satisfied?"

Qin Ran got straight to the point and asked directly.

"Um."

"very satisfied."

"After all, I've been waiting for so many years to finally see this scene."

"I'm so happy."

Unexpectedly, Adams nodded directly and laughed heartily.

"Why?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"Why do you say?"

"You, who have the same experience as me, ask why?"

Adams looked at Kieran in surprise. Then, as if he thought of something, Adams looked at Kieran with a look of pity that made Kieran frown.

"Poor man."

"I was kept in the dark from beginning to end."

"You're afraid..."

"You never know Mary's identity, right?"

Adams turned around completely and looked at Kieran face to face in an extremely formal manner.

Mary!

This ex-wife!

Qin Ran was surprised in his heart.

It was not that he was surprised by Mary's identity. After learning a few words from the female detective, Kieran knew that her ex-wife was not a simple person.

But what really surprised Kieran was that the Adams in front of him was actually related to his ex-wife.

The secret room of the morgue!

The dismembered corpse!

The dismembered Mary!

Mary's true identity!

And there’s Adams in front of me!

One by one, valuable clues began to form a clearer context in Qin Ran's mind.

However, he was not anxious to find the most crucial point.

He looked at Adams and asked as if to confirm.

"I need to confirm something. Is the Mary you are talking about my ex-wife?"

"Except this Mary?"

"Do you know any other Marys?"

"If that were the case, I think you would have died long ago without a burial place. You would be much worse off than those guys outside the window."

Adams said with a smile.

"Is their death related to Mary?"

Qin Ran frowned.

There didn't seem to be any real content in the other party's words, but they revealed extraordinary clues.

Mary is dead.

But the dead Mary can still control the life and death of living people.

Evil spirit?

Or an evil spirit?

Qin Ran was guessing in his heart.

As for wandering spirits, ghosts, and evil spirits?

In the past, the two levels of undead creatures were extremely difficult to deal with ordinary people, let alone trying to influence the six trained people downstairs. Although the evil spirit can affect one of the six people downstairs, It poses a threat, but facing six of them at the same time is powerless.

It can only be an evil spirit!

Or a high-level evil spirit!

An evil spirit transformed from a human soul?

Kieran narrowed his eyes.

The evil spirit itself is a special existence, especially the evil spirit that evolved completely from humans and became without any items, has extremely special abilities.

Coupled with his previous guesses about the other party's identity.

If this guess is true...

"An unprecedented enemy!"

Kieran lowered his head slightly, and in the place where Adams' sight could not reach, a glimmer of light flashed in his narrowed eyes.

Looking at Kieran who lowered his head as if thinking, Adams smiled again.

Anyone faced with something like this needs to think.

Even that husband is no exception.

"There is some connection."

"But before that, I want you to hear what happened to me, which was..."

"Feel sorry."

"Do not listen."

"waste time."

Adams seemed to be about to tell what happened to him, but was interrupted by Kieran before he started speaking.

"You may not understand what kind of world you will be exposed to from my story."

"A real world that you can't even imagine, hidden beneath this false world."

“It’s brutal but full of treasures.”

"Could it be..."

"Don't you want to gain a power that ordinary people can't have?"

Adams explained.

He looked at Kieran with a very calm expression on his face.

He knew that Kieran would definitely agree.

No one is without curiosity.

No one can refuse to be different.

As long as he proves the existence of that world.

Although this would consume a lot of energy and his body would have to rest for several days after using it once, he had to do this in order to make the husband in front of him believe in that world.

He needs to win the other person into this world.

The latter is to be precise...

Join this real world and belong to their camp.

Therefore, he raised his hands high above his head and shouted with all his strength: "Open your eyes and see clearly, this power that ordinary people cannot have!"

A hint of cold air began to appear.

Sensing this negative energy, Qin Ran smiled, raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, a flame appeared out of thin air.

The scorching heat swept through the entire room with air waves, and the coldness dissipated instantly. Adams staggered and fell to the ground, staring up at the flames burning in the void with his mouth open.

Qin Ran looked down at the other person and said calmly.

"A power that ordinary people cannot possess?"

"Is this what you're talking about?"
