Chapter 821 Fire on a Rainy Night

The rain was heavy and the sky was getting dark, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the newspaper reporters at all.

They stared in the direction of the playground of St. Paul's School with wide eyes.

A wooden stake that is three or four meters high is stuck there. On the top of the wooden stake is a head, and the lower part is a body that has been pierced. The arms and legs are placed on the wooden stake in proportion. On both sides of the pile, looking at this wooden pile from a distance, it seems to be seeing a deformed little giant.

But anyone who gets close can feel the blood dripping from it.

Cruel dismemberment!

Weird placement!

For ordinary people, it is an unavoidable fear, but for these reporters, it is a rare material. They hold the umbrella on their shoulders one by one, press the umbrella handle with their right wrist, hold a pencil in their hand, and Everything was described quickly, and some reporters who finished the description one step ahead focused their attention on the police officers around them, especially after seeing John coming down from the carriage.

"Chief, what do you think of this murder?"

"Chief, is the murderer provoking the police by doing this?"

"Chief, are you confident that you can catch such a murderer?"

…

The harsh questions were even more unacceptable than the bad weather.

John, who was already feeling heavy because of another murder case, was completely depressed at this time. If he wasn't worried about bad reports, John would definitely not mind letting these boring guys taste the power of his fists. .

And now?

"Karl? Karl?"

the Sheriff shouted.

The young policeman quickly ran out of the campus.

"Sheriff!"

Karl, who was soaked by the heavy rain, saluted.

"Expand the warning range by 50 meters. Anyone who breaks through the warning range will be arrested as a suspect!"

The Sheriff ordered.

"yes!"

Carl replied loudly.

Then, there was a flurry of excitement in front of St. Paul's School.

"No!"

"You can't do this!"

"We have a right to know!"

…

Journalists began to protest, but to no avail.

Under the leadership of Karl, a dozen policemen who were furious in the rain were like a moving human wall, pushing the reporters into the distance step by step.

Among them, a few grumpy ones didn't mind waving their rubber sticks.

John saw this scene.

Normally, he would stop it.

But at this moment, he won't.

It's not revenge, just to make it easier to move.

John held an umbrella and helped the old nun get out of the carriage, and said as if he was minding his own business: "2567, please!"

"Um."

A voice sounded in the pouring rain.

John subconsciously searched for the owner of the voice, but saw nothing.

Although this was not the first time we encountered such a situation, our police chief was still surprised.

However, he did not forget business.

"Sister Monie, do you need some rest?"

"Let me help you back to your room!"

John said this.

But the old nun refused such an offer.

"I want to see the body!"

"Uh...ok!"

Faced with the old nun's firm tone, the police chief finally chose to compromise.

But deep down in my heart, I was already prepared.

The corpse appeared in St. Paul's School. If it had nothing to do with the school itself, John would not believe it.

Before, the old nun had been stimulated by the corpse of her student Toti. If she was stimulated again, a person in the prime of life would not be able to bear it, let alone an old man.

Everything went as John expected.

The people who died on the school playground were the people of St. Paul's School.

He was still someone Qin Ran knew.

Li De, captain of the St. Paul's School Nursing Team, is a middle-aged man who is loyal to the old nun and dedicated to the school.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was dismembered on the spot.

Looking at the other party's body, Qin Ran's eyes scanned the surroundings.

But nothing was found.

The unparalleled level of [Tracking] has been able to find traces left by certain special beings, but no traces left by the murderer were found.

"Isn't it some special existence, or is it a 'normal person'? He just used the cover of the rainy day to complete this murder?"

Kieran looked at the ground again.

The tamped ground was filled with rainwater. Although Kieran could still trace some footprints, these traces quickly faded under the erosion of the rainwater.

There is no doubt that these footprints were left by later police officers.

As for the murderer?

I'm afraid it has long since disappeared.

Qin Ran raised his head and looked at the wooden pile again.

"The wooden pile is three to four meters high, and its cross-section diameter exceeds fifteen centimeters. There are no traces of rope pulling on the wooden pile. This means that the murderer erected the wooden pile with bare hands and inserted it into the ground at least half a meter. …”

“It’s almost impossible for ordinary people to do this!”

"Aside from Sister Moni and Gong Lansen, are there any strong people on the mysterious side?"

Qin Ran secretly guessed.

The emergence of a new era does not happen overnight.

The Church of the Dawn has been destroyed, but there is still St. Paul's School and "remnants of the old era" like Sister Moni and Gong Lansen.

It would not be surprising if there were more people.

only……

"Has such a person cooperated with the Wayne family?"

Qin Ran's eyes were filled with doubts.

It’s not that the ‘strong ones’ put down their dignity and cooperate with ordinary people.

It's not about seeking revenge against the Wayne family.

No matter how strong they are, they still need food, sleep and a place to stay, especially as 'remnants of the old era'. In the new era, they will be more aware of their own force field.

And the feud with the Venn family?

Needless to say.

What really puzzled Qin Ran was the other party's arrangement.

The corpse that appeared in the police station was not a bait to attract the old nun, but a real killer.

Therefore, the raiders on the road were not necessary at all.

There was also Lead's body in front of him.

To kill a captain of the school nursing team out of intimidation, just the body is enough. There is no need to make the body look like this, and that is when there are no other special arrangements.

Very... unnecessary!

That’s right, it’s just unnecessary!

"If the Venn family takes action, there shouldn't be such constraints. At least the power will be used in one place, unless..."

"More than one party took action against St. Paul's School!"

"Both parties?"

"No, no, it's three parties!"

"At least three parties are eyeing St. Paul's School!"

Kieran's narrowed eyes flashed with light.

Why do you say?

Aren’t the treasures of Morningside Church enough?

That gold that can form waves can crush people to death!

No matter the coveter of gold.

Or... a guardian.

Qin Ran raised his head again, looked at the dead-eyed Leader, and then looked at the grieving old nun. Without saying anything, he walked towards the heavy rain.

At this time, any words are feeble.

When talking is useless, just try to take action.

Qin Ran always thought that the saying was very good——

Tooth for tooth, eye for eye.

Naturally, blood debts must be paid with blood!

Wow, wow!

Unconsciously, the rain became heavier.

The bell next to the school playground was rung.

clang! clang! clang!

The sound of bells pierced the rainy night, and the members of the escort were bidding farewell to their captain.

They carefully arranged their captains and tried to make their captains more respectable. People's eyes were red, and many people were touching tears at the corners of their eyes.

The atmosphere of sadness condensed.

But in the distance, hidden behind the heavy rain, a few peeping and malicious eyes looked at this place with a playful look.

They were like hungry wolves showing their claws, or like poisonous snakes showing their fangs.

They looked at their prey and considered where to bite.

Sudden--

boom!

There was an earth-shattering explosion.

It's towards the suburbs.

It is the direction of the Wayne family estate.

The city on a rainy night was completely awakened.

People looked in that direction with doubtful eyes.

Especially those guys who have ulterior motives and hide in the dark.

Looking at the night sky illuminated by firelight in the heavy rain, a bad premonition arose in everyone's heart.

seem……

Are they going to be in trouble?
