Chapter 947 Dead Corpse

The young militia captain followed Qin Ran's gaze and saw the dark mayor's office. Immediately, the young man pulled out the long sword from his waist.

Clang!

The long sword was unsheathed, and everyone around was shocked.

But then I discovered something was wrong.

"Sir, I'll take someone to take a look!"

The young militiaman said to him.

"Um."

"I'm going to check out Eddie's caravan room."

Kieran nodded and did not stop.

In his perception, although the house was dark, there was no danger, no malicious eyes, and no strong aura.

On the contrary, there is a faint smell of blood in the inn of dwarf wine glasses and rice bowls.

Not like pigs and sheep, but... people!

"Okay, you two follow the adults."

"My lord, I'll come as soon as I go!"

The young militia captain made proper arrangements, and then led the people away quickly.

After the young people and many militiamen left, the owner of the hotel, Old Bick, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Vaughn is good at everything, but he just takes himself too seriously."

"I still watched him grow up, but he didn't give me any face."

Old Bic shrugged self-deprecatingly as he spoke.

"A serious young man is not annoying, is he?"

Qin Ran smiled.

"Of course, of course."

"Sir, please come with me and I will take you to see the rooms where those guys live."

Old Bic nodded, and led Qin Ran towards the hotel smoothly and politely.

Along the way, Kieran didn't even need to ask, and the other party started to introduce everything about Eddie's caravan.

"The Eddie Caravan is a small caravan. The core is the 'Eddie family', with a total of more than a dozen people. However, small caravans have the same way of survival as small caravans. They will choose to stay together, and most of the time, they It's the Eddys who take care of everything."

"So, most of the time, people think that the entire caravan belongs to the 'Eddy Family'. In fact, it is composed of multiple small caravans, and they only take a portion of the profits."

"Oh, I see."

"'Eddie's Family' is the name of Eddie's caravan?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"Well, that's the name of Eddie's Caravan, and besides, they really are all family."

"Isn't it strange?"

"It's not surprising that a family is in charge of a caravan, but it's curious that a family is in a caravan from top to bottom."

"However, I am curious and dare not ask them."

Old Piccolo smiled as he spoke.

"how?"

"Are they vicious?"

Smelling the approaching bloody smell, Qin Ran asked.

"Which caravan dares to come near the High Road and is not evil?"

"The bandits and robbers scattered all over the middle section of the High Road are no joke. Even if there is a garrison of Burning Dawn, they often attack, not to mention that now Burning Dawn..."

As he spoke, Old Bic thought of something and suddenly stopped talking.

"What happened to Burning Dawn?"

Qin Ran asked pretending to be curious.

"It's nothing, it's just that Burning Dawn was attacked!"

"The Grand Duke is still missing..."

"Sir, in your capacity, the official document you received must be more detailed than what I heard. You can also ask Mayor Hall, so don't embarrass me, a poor man."

"I'm just here to beg for a meal."

Old Bic repeatedly begged for mercy, and at the same time there was an extra money bag in his hand, which he handed to Kieran in a very discreet manner.

Qin Ran took the money bag calmly.

When he saw Kieran taking the money bag, Old Bic's face lit up and he led the way even faster.

At the back side of the hotel corridor, in front of a wall with only one door, the other party stopped.

"This is Eddie's family's room, and it is also the largest room here. Every time they come, they always choose to live here."

Old Bick said as he opened the door and stepped aside.

A militiaman carrying an oil lamp walked in first and lit the candles in the room.

Light suddenly filled the room.

It illuminated a neat row of beds, as well as the salutes under the beds.

The beds are made neatly and the bedding is folded up.

The salute was neat and did not move.

Kieran glanced at the beds, saluted, and finally looked at the long table in the room.

The smell of blood came from there.

Or to be more precise, from under the wooden floor of the large long table.

And in Kieran's tracking vision, everything was even clearer.

The end point of countless dragging traces is there.

"You move it away."

Kieran ordered the militiamen while looking at Old Piccolo.

The other party looked as usual, nothing unusual.

Of course, that is now.

After the long table was moved away and Qin Ran opened a wooden board that looked solid but was actually half-covered, the strong smell of blood immediately hit his face.

Under the candlelight, the densely packed corpses were exposed in front of everyone.

"Oh my God!"

Old Bic, whose expression changed drastically, exclaimed and stepped back continuously.

The two militiamen also looked horrified. One of them was completely at a loss, while the other was calm. He drew out the dagger from his waist and pointed it at Old Bic.

"do not move!"

Militia said.

"S-Sir!"

"I didn't kill these people!"

Old Bic immediately raised his hands and stammered.

"Um."

Kieran nodded noncommittally and scanned the secret room hidden in the hotel room.

When he saw the L-shaped latch inside, his eyes narrowed.

"A secret room controlled from within?"

Qin Ran had a guess in his heart and immediately said to the militiamen: "Go and carry out all the corpses."

"yes."

The two militiamen looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

One of the militiamen who had been at a loss seemed reluctant and approached the secret room slowly. The other one who drew his dagger, although he was also reluctant, did not slack off in the face of Kieran's order.

What surprised Kieran was the old Piccolo.

"Sir, let me help!"

"I am willing to prove my innocence, and I am also willing to help you, sir. I hope you can give me fair treatment!"

Old Bic said proactively.

"Can."

Kieran promised.

Of course Old Bic is not the murderer.

There was no smell of blood on the other party's body, and there were no signs of washing.

Moreover, a middle-aged and elderly person who is as short as a dwarf and has not undergone any training cannot possibly kill so many people silently except for poisoning.

But those corpses were not poisoned, but had their throats stabbed.

Still, it pierced the throats of more than a dozen people in an instant.

"The murderer not only strikes quickly, but also takes it unexpectedly..."

Qin Ran stood on the secret room, looking at the corpses being carried out one by one, and the scene at that time appeared in his mind: the Eddie family and the murderer were talking about something in this secret room, and then the murderer suddenly Taking action, the unsuspecting Eddie family fell to the ground one after another with swords.

There may have been screams, but with the obstruction of the secret room door and the door of the room, no one heard it.

Or the murderer deliberately arranged people to divert the attention of people in the hotel.

"ah!"

Just when Qin Ran was guessing, the exclamations of Old Bic and the militiamen came from the secret room at his feet.

"S-Sir, the mayor of the town is dead!"

Before Qin Ran could ask, the militiamen stuttered and reported.
