The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 817 Box

Sheriff John apparently ran in directly from outside the school.

Not only was his forehead covered with beads of sweat, but his whole body was out of breath.

Looking at the nun standing in front of the tombstone, John walked straight over.

"Sorry, Sister Moni, for interrupting your prayer for Kieran..."

"This happened suddenly, please come with me."

The police chief said with respect.

When speaking, John habitually straightened his back, making his originally tall and strong figure appear taller and straighter. However, this did not mean he was oppressive, but rather showed more respect.

"John, what's wrong?"

The nun looked at the sergeant in confusion.

"Well……"

"Please come with me!"

"I really don't know how to describe it!"

A wry smile appeared on the sergeant's rough face.

"OK!"

The nun nodded, and with the help of the police chief, she walked towards the carriage parked in front of the guard box outside the campus.

"Sister Monie, do you want me to come with you?"

Before the nun was pedaling, the captain of the nursing school team came over and asked.

"It's okay, Lid, John is here."

The nun pointed at the sergeant.

Different from his vigilance when dealing with Qin Ran, Leader, the captain of the school nursing team, maintained considerable respect when facing the tall and strong police chief.

"It's all up to you, Mr. Sheriff!"

Lid said this.

"Um."

The Sheriff nodded as if to reassure himself.

The situation in front of him was clearly seen by Qin Ran.

Kieran, who was standing in the shadows, frowned slightly.

Qin Ran didn't know much about Leader, the captain of the nursing school team, but he was certain that he loved Sister Moni very much and loved his job very much.

However, no matter how much she loves her, it will never reach the point where she protects Sister Moni even when she travels.

After all, Sister Moni is the principal of St. Paul's School and is respected throughout the city. Under normal circumstances, no one will be disrespectful to this elderly nun.

Even some guys who are hiding in the shadows will be wise enough to avoid causing trouble for themselves.

You know, students studying at St. Paul's School are either rich or expensive.

As the principal of these students, Sister Moni will not take advantage of anything, but the influence she brings is enough for those guys to understand how to treat this old nun.

"The influence of Count Venn?"

"Gong Lansen has settled everything on the surface, but is there still a turbulent undercurrent in private?"

Qin Ran guessed.

This is the only thing he can think of now.

Such speculation made him quickly think of some targeted plans.

Seeing the carriage slowly starting up under the driving of a policeman, Qin Ran quickly followed it.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The fine raindrops caused water to accumulate on the ground quickly, and at the same time, it blocked people's sight. Even the most skilled driver did not dare to drive at full speed in such weather.

So the carriage the nun and the sheriff were in was not very fast.

Qin Ran followed very easily.

In fact, not to mention such speed, with Kieran's SS-level agility at the moment, even if the carriage was ten times faster, Kieran could easily keep up.

But this is just for Qin Ran.

Not so easy for some people.

A few gasps hidden in the sound of rain came clearly to Kieran's ears.

His eyes quickly locked onto the two guys with malicious intentions.

The guns and daggers in their hands and the way they were staring at the carriage all told Qin Ran what these two guys wanted to do.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran quietly approached the two of them, first raised his left hand to cover one of them's mouth, then snatched the dagger from the other's hand with his right hand, and stabbed the other guy on the neck who had no reaction at all. He waved, and then used the dagger to cut the neck of the guy whose mouth and nose was covered by him and who was almost suffocating.

The whole process didn't even take a second between the rabbit and the falcon.

Facing two slightly stronger ordinary people, if Kieran wasn't afraid of alerting others and ruining his plan, he would have a simpler and faster way to make these two guys with bad intentions disappear from this world.

Drag the two bodies into the alley.

After picking up the opponent's dagger and firing the gun, Qin Ran followed the carriage again.

There was no accident this time. The carriage quickly arrived in front of the three-story police station with a small frontage.

Sheriff John held an umbrella with one hand and helped the old nun down with the other.

The two of them walked directly into the police station and planned to go to the underground level.

It was the same morgue that occupied about a quarter of the underground floor. A huge box was placed there.

The box is rectangular, made entirely of wood, with a length of 1.5 meters, a width of 1 meter, and a height of about 70 centimeters. The four corners are covered with new copper, and it emits a metallic light under candles and oil lamps.

A delicate lock with a key hung on the buckle of the box.

The box and the lock looked like they were not something ordinary people could use.

Especially that key.

Judging by the luster, Qin Ran was extremely confident that it was not copper, but gold!

A key made of gold can be considered a luxury no matter what time it is.

However, soon, Kieran's attention was completely focused on the box.

Or to be more precise, in a box.

The faint smell of blood mixed with the rich fragrance kept pouring into Kieran's nose.

Although it has been treated with spices, the smell of blood cannot be concealed.

Qin Ran couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He knew very well that there was only one possibility to cause this situation: a bleeding state caused by a large number of wounds!

Only in this way can such strong spices be unable to cover up the smell of blood.

Plus the size of this case...

Some guesses appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

The police sergeant who walked to the box reminded the nun.

"Sister Monie, I hope you will be prepared."

The police chief said this.

"Do not worry!"

"I'm old enough to see and know more."

The old nun maintained a peaceful appearance.

However, as the box was opened, there was a cry of surprise.

It's not fear.

But, it's unbelievable.

The box was filled with scarlet blood, and the white petals had long lost their original color after being soaked for a long time, including the corpse soaked in it.

It's not a complete body, but the kind that has been cut up and arranged neatly.

In order to make the cut corpses look neat, a fixed shelf was built in the box to place the head, limbs, and torso in categories, just like the dinner plates used in a canteen.

"Totti?!"

The old nun bent down and crawled beside the box, hoping to get a clear look at the corpse's head soaked in scarlet blood.

And at this moment——

The head's eyes snapped open.

Scarlet, dazzling.
