Chapter 272 Accident

Around the table are three chairs.

Two of the chairs were not pulled away, but pushed under the table, leaving only the backs of the chairs.

The third chair was pulled out.

Not only was it pulled apart, but there were also footprints in front of the chair legs.

Following his footprints, Qin Ran saw the dozens of books.

Moreover, these footprints are no strangers to him.

It belonged to the body that died at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Almost instantly, such a picture appeared in Kieran's mind: the other party had spotted the attacker, so he hastily put down the things in his hand and rushed towards the secret room, preparing to stop the attacker.

But the strength of the attacker was completely unexpected, far beyond imagination, not only did not stop the opponent, but was killed by the opponent.

Or rather...

"The assailant knew about the existence of the other party, so he deliberately let the other party find out?"

Qin Ran recalled the footprints left by the assailant on the sofa, and confirmed this guess more and more.

"This attacker is more familiar with this place than I thought!"

"What is the other party's identity?"

The more certain the guess was, the more puzzled Qin Ran became.

However, soon, he set his sights on the pile of books.

According to the traces left behind, after someone attacked, the deceased at the stairs on the second floor should have hidden something here.

"Hope it didn't get searched!"

Looking at the neatly arranged books, Qin Ran thought silently in his heart.

From top to bottom, from left to right, Kieran searched through stacks of books.

After Qin Ran briefly explained, Shi Qi also joined in.

As for why Qin Ran was able to see footprints that he couldn't see at all?

After working with Nicole several times, Shi Qi has become accustomed to seeing strange things.

After all, the psychic is able to see so much that he cannot see things to come.

Therefore, Shi Qi concentrated on looking for things that might be hidden in the books.

And this kind of concentration has made him gain.

"found it!"

Shi Qi picked up a page from a certain book and gestured to Qin Ran.

"This is?"

After Qin Ran looked at the unfolded paper, his expression was slightly ponderous.

It reads like this -

Pure Ruby X1

Blood Queen Crown X1

Unknown monster egg X1

Fantos Manuscript X1

...

Although it was a transcribed note, the subsequent handwriting was blurred because the ink was folded while the paper was still wet.

"What's this?"

"Alchemy formula?"

Shi Qi asked.

"I don't know which formula still needs someone's manuscript!"

Qin Ran rolled his eyes and checked the remaining books again.

Unfortunately, except for this transcribed note, there is no other discovery.

"I'm going to take these things away!"

Qin Ran pointed to the books and various materials around him.

"As it should be!"

Shi Qi didn't say nonsense that it was evidence or something that couldn't be moved.

The mysterious side has the rules of the mysterious side.

He who joins must adapt to such rules.

Of course, his duty as a policeman also made him inform his colleagues again to clean up the mess, and told him to inform him of any other discoveries.

For such an exhortation, Shi Qi's colleagues are extremely happy.

In the past two years, the mysterious events that happened on the west coast have made them know that there is an unknown world besides the world they live in.

The simplest example is the cruise ship on the golden beach.

Not even the artillery can damage the cruise ship of the previous boarders, but it is enough to subvert the three views of a normal person.

"They were terrified!"

Kieran said after loading all valuable items into the car and restarting the pickup.

Although the previous policemen tried their best to put on a calm and serious look, under Qin Ran's keen vision, the unnatural expression on the other side's face and the sweat on their palms were all too obvious.

"When I encountered mysterious events for the first time, I was no better than them!"

"It takes time to get used to and..."

"Some grooming!"

"I will report to the director and ask him to find a psychologist to help everyone!"

Shi Qi let out a sigh, the state of his colleagues brought back his worst memories.

"Psychologist?"

"you sure?"

Qin Ran asked back.

If there are any unpleasant experiences in the dungeon world of [Psychic Partner], the psychologist who treated Rock is definitely among the best.

"Rock's incident was an accident..."

"That poor child!"

Shi Qi obviously understood what Qin Ran was talking about, and he sighed again.

squeak!

The rapid braking caused the friction between the tires and the asphalt road to give off the peculiar smell of heated rubber. Shi Qi, who was not wearing a seat belt, slammed his head on the passenger front desk.

boom!

In the dull sound, there was Shi Qi's cry of pain.

"Hey, 2567, I admit that the psychiatrist we met before was a vain guy, but you don't need to be so angry every time you mention him!"

"After all, not every psychologist is so flashy, and there are many good ones with real talents!"

Shi Qi covered his forehead, grinning and complaining.

"Rock!"

Facing the complaint, Qin Ran asked solemnly.

"What?"

Shi Qi was startled, but didn't understand Qin Ran's meaning.

"I mean where is Rock now?"

"Did you forget that Rock is a good hand with a knife!"

Qin Ran spoke extremely fast.

"It can't be Rock, can it?"

"He's in a suburban sanatorium..."

Shi Qi said subconsciously.

However, the more he talked, the less confident he was, because according to the conditions given by Qin Ran as 'about 1.8 meters tall, strong body, and good at using knives', Rock completely met them.

"We should go to that suburban sanatorium now!"

"I'll show you the way!"

Shi Qi changed his mind.

"Now?"

"late!"

Qin Ran shook his head.

The situation in front of him was obvious. If the knifeman was Rock, he would definitely not be still in the nursing home in the suburbs. If not, it would be useless for them to rush there.

Simply put, whatever they do is too late.

But it's not without gains.

At least, Qin Ran was no longer confused about the origin of the swordsman.

Even if it's not Roque, it can't be separated from the homeless association.

Kieran frowned as he thought of how the long knife in Rock's hand seemed to come back to life after his parents were attacked and killed.

Not only because he didn't immediately think of the knife-wielding Roark based on the wounds on the corpse, but also because he then remembered that members of the Wanderer's Association had mentioned "that" himself.

"Shi Qi, is there any news about the homeless association?"

Qin Ran asked.

"have!"

Shi Qi nodded, but Qin Ran's expression changed after his answer.

PS first update~

The third update was too late yesterday, and today I woke up feeling dizzy and feeling uncomfortable...

After resting for a while, I feel better.

So, this chapter is a bit late.

Decadence is not suitable for a physique that stays up late, it's really tragic!

Please forgive me.
