Chapter 858 Empty

Whizzing!

Two flying knives came through the air, bringing out two cold lights in the cemetery at night.

"careful!"

Sheriff John reminded loudly and subconsciously blocked the middle-aged man behind him.

As for Kieran?

After seeing Kieran's strength, Sheriff John was not worried about Kieran at all.

On the contrary, he was more worried about the person who attacked Qin Ran,

In fact, this is also true.

Qin Ran's figure disappeared in a flash, even with the two throwing knives. The wide-eyed Sheriff John didn't catch Qin Ran's movements at all.

All he saw was that when Kieran appeared again, he was holding two throwing knives in one hand and carrying a strange man in the other.

John didn't see it clearly, let alone a middle-aged member of the Wayne family.

"What's wrong?"

"what happened?"

The middle-aged man shouted in panic.

"It's okay, it's just an accident!"

After Sheriff John comforted the other party, he walked up to Qin Ran and looked at the unconscious man who was being carried.

The other party was wearing a black strong suit, the clothes around the wrists and ankles were tied tightly with string, and there were two throwing knives and a short sword stuck in the belt around his waist.

On the other side of the belt is a cyst.

Inside the capsule, there is a hand crossbow and a flintlock pistol, and some test tube potions and the like

And in the opponent's boots, there is also a dagger hidden.

Looking at these things, John frowned.

Most people don't carry these things with them.

Of course, the people who appear here cannot be ordinary people.

"Who is this guy?"

"He's following us?"

John asked.

"Who needs to be interrogated for a while, but he arrived here earlier than us."

Qin Ran kept the prisoner on the ground and said with certainty.

First, Qin Ran was absolutely sure that the other party had guarded here in advance, otherwise based on his perception, if the other party followed, it would be impossible not to find the other party.

Second, the other party should have nothing to do with the Wayne family, no matter in appearance or behavior, it is more like a guy engaged in some secret activities.

Some guys engaged in secret activities are interested in the soon-to-be-broken Wayne family?

Qin Ran quickly walked to the place where the other party was hiding.

In the field of view of [Tracking], the traces left by the opponent are clearly visible

In other words, the other party only arrived a little earlier than them.

"As soon as the people from the 'Revival Society' were wiped out, someone appeared here... Interesting!"

With his chin propped on one hand, Qin Ran glanced back and forth between the prisoner and the tomb of the first Earl Wayne.

"How about it?"

John asked.

"If it wasn't for something like 'Tomb Robbery', then we might have accidentally caught a big fish."

Qin Ran answered.

Then, he went straight to the tomb of the first Earl Wayne.

Without any difficulty, Qin Ran found the mechanism to open the tomb door.

Ga.

There was a sound of a machine spring turning, and the door of the tomb opened slowly.

Looking at the opened tomb door, the middle-aged man of the Wayne family opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the situation in the tomb, the middle-aged man's mouth completely opened, completely in line. Not close anymore.

Simple but fully furnished living room.

There are no coffins, let alone corpses.

All there is is a bed, a desk, a chair, and a blanket made of animal skins.

Judging from the scattered dishes and basins on the ground, at least seven or eight people once lived here.

"This this……"

The middle-aged man stuttered and was completely speechless.

"This is where that bastard Ketley is hiding out!"

John snorted coldly.

Although the other party is really dead, even so, our police chief has no good impression of the other party who participated in and created the 'plague'.

"But, but the bones..."

The middle-aged people slurred what they wanted to express.

"Perhaps cleaned up."

John looked at Qin Ran walking back and forth in the tomb and said with some uncertainty.

John has not forgotten what Kieran said just now.

"Big fish?"

John lowered his head and looked at the still unconscious prisoner, his brain spinning continuously.

Our sergeant tries to connect the dots between what he sees and hears.

But in the end, nothing was found.

"What's going on?"

"What do you mean by big fish?"

John walked into the tomb and asked Qin Ran who was thinking the same thing.

"Look at this tomb."

Qin Ran didn't answer the question.

"It's normal, except there's no body!"

John answered.

"Then have you ever thought about where the coffins and corpses that should be here are?"

Qin Ran asked again.

"It should have been dealt with, right?"

"After all, there are a lot of people in Ketley here. If there is a corpse, they will be very absent!"

John said his previous guess.

"Um."

Kieran nodded and did not deny John's guess.

Because this is the most reasonable explanation for the situation seen in front of me.

If there were no corresponding traces!

A coffin containing a corpse, according to the time on the tombstone, has been placed in the tomb for at least forty years, even the rocky ground should have left traces.

What's more, this cold and damp tomb?

If there really was a coffin placed here, not to mention the indentations, the moss that grew out would not be something that a latecomer could easily clean up.

At least some traces of scrubbing will remain.

But the clean thing in front of me was like nothing.

"Is there no coffin or burial chamber for the body?"

Kieran, who was whispering to himself in his heart, didn't say anything more to John, but walked towards the middle-aged man.

"How did the first Earl of Venn die?"

Qin Ran asked.

"He died of a sudden illness. Some people said it was a plague, so the body and the coffin were hurriedly sent to the tomb."

The middle-aged man replied.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"That was forty years ago, how could I have seen it?"

"I heard it all from my elders."

"There should still be people who can witness it with their own eyes, but now that they have experienced the civil strife caused by that bastard, many people have died in mysterious circumstances."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

"is that so?"

Qin Ran pondered.

He found out more and more that the Wayne family was unusual.

With the death of the second Earl of Wayne... No, not with the death of the second Earl of Wayne, but the other side consciously promoted the death of the second Earl of Wayne.

Not Ketley.

Ketley is just a pawn.

It should be someone who is hiding deeper.

A guy who is not only plotting against the Wayne family, but also plotting against the Church of Dawn.

"Who is the one?"

Qin Ran was still thinking as he sat in the carriage and returned, his eyes involuntarily looking at the prisoner.

At this moment, the bound prisoner had woken up.

When he caught Kieran's gaze, the prisoner immediately lowered his head.

But the next moment, the other party raised his head again.

"I'm sorry to meet you in this way, 2567."

The other person with cloudy eyes said as if he was talking in sleep.
