The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 354: Doubtful

Chapter 354 is full of doubts

When Mary pushed the door open and Qin Ran saw the situation in the room, he knew that his guess was not wrong.

This is not a big one, but it is not a small room.

On the left hand side, two three-meter-high, five-meter-wide books completely blocked a wall.

On the right hand side, there is only a short section with an empty shelf on it.

According to the style of the shelf, it should be a shelf for placing long-sword weapons.

However, now the shelf is empty.

Just opposite Qin Ran, it is a desk.

This desk is the normal size, with one head facing the door and one facing the window opposite the door.

A chair was pushed under the table, revealing only the back of the chair.

The moonlight came in from the window, and the ground was covered with a layer of silver frost, which also made a sword mark on the ground more conspicuous.

The sword mark spread from the doorway to the window, nearly ten meters long, enough to fall into a palm.

"A good sharp sword!"

Qin Ran squatted down, and after the palm of his hand went deep into the sword mark, he could not help but sigh.

He is very familiar with this kind of sword mark.

His [foot knife] can also cause similar marks.

But this length can not be reached.

"This sword is pulled out of the room until it..."

Qin Ran came to the window along the sword mark.

The sharp sword marks have a sense of diffusion here, and the floor is a bit broken, far less straight than before.

According to experience, there are only two reasons for this sense of spread.

First, the strength is not enough, not familiar with this skill.

It is like the one who first mastered the [foot knife].

Second, an accident occurred, and suddenly it was!

The sharp, straight sword marks are enough to show that the person who took out the sword is very familiar with this technique.

So, only the second one is left.

"Not only convergence, but also because the convergence has been countered, and was nailed to the door?"

Qin Ran returned to the starting point of the sword.

After the door, the residual blood and a sword mark that went into the door panel were found.

This sword mark is extremely narrow and should be a sword or a fine sword.

Once again, I opened the [Tracking] field of vision and turned around in the room to confirm that I had no omissions. Qin Ran turned and looked at Mary.

“Is this the room where your mother was killed?”

He asked.

Before Mary frankly took over the title of ‘Swoldberg owner’ from his mother’s hands, Qin Ran guessed that the other’s mother had been killed.

However, Qin Ran did not think that Mary's mother actually had considerable strength.

Inferred from the scene he saw in the room, it was Mary's mother who took out the straight sword mark.

However, it is a pity that the other party is prepared.

Directly defeated by some small means to win.

Or more accurately: to achieve victory in a more relaxed way.

Even if Mary's mother had reasons such as resent, sorrow, etc., it was not the average assassin could do it by hitting a distance of ten meters and nailing the target to the door panel.

"interesting!"

Qin Ran’s heart raised a strong curiosity.

An unpretentious castle hostess, a well-prepared assassin, and an imperial minister with a king secret, Qin Ran unconsciously guessed the relationship between them.

Of course, this does not prevent him from listening carefully to Mary's answer.

"Yes!"

"This is the room where my mother was killed!"

Mary nodded and endured her grief, trying to say what she knew in a calm tone.

"Mother used to read here at night, the same night. - After watching me fall asleep, my mother came here to continue reading, and did not return to the bedroom all night. This kind of thing does not happen often, but also No, no, so I didn't care if I woke up until..."

Although she resisted her emotions, Mary’s voice still whimpered when she said it.

Qin Ran wants to comfort each other, but does not know what to say.

Can only be silent.

After a few seconds, Mary’s voice rang again.

"At breakfast, both I and Gailart have already gone to the restaurant, but the mother has not yet appeared! I feel that something wrong with Gailart came here, and found that the mother was nailed to the door, completely breathless. ""

Said Mary.

It seems to be talking about other people's things.

Compared with the previous whimper, the appearance of this time is even more mournful in the eyes of Qin Ran.

As an orphan, he never knows what his parents love.

But he knows that if he had the love of his parents, he could lose it...

That taste must be uncomfortable.

"Do you know where your mother's sabre is?"

"And what did she look at on the desk at the time?"

Qin Ran pointed out that except for the quill and some blank papers, the desk was empty, and his speed was very fast. He hoped to remove such an unpleasant atmosphere through dialogue.

"No!"

"Besides being buried because of my mother, I have not touched anything in this room. It keeps the appearance of my mother when I was killed!"

The girl shook her head.

"The missing sabre and books, letters..."

Qin Ran talked to himself, but suddenly stopped.

If the sabre disappears, it can only indicate that the sword is extraordinary or has other meanings.

If books and letters disappear, there is only one possibility.

The text is recorded above.

In front of the situation, Qin Ran subconsciously thought of the contact information of the previous ‘Svoutburg owner’ and the king’s imperialism: letters!

"Before, I asked you, 'Why can your mother know that the imperial minister is missing?' They will not rely on letters?"

Qin Ran looked at Mary and asked.

"Yes!"

"They communicate by letter, but every time they read it, the mother will burn the letter immediately! And, as far as I know, the mother will not silently write the burned letters, so it disappears on the desk. It should not be a letter!"

Said Mary.

"Is that right?"

Qin Ran is sinking.

Mary's mother is careful enough that such a person will not be easily seized by the opportunity.

"Do you know the contents of the letter?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"Know some!"

"The imperial confession agreed in the letter to meet my mother in the town of Titan, but the other party did not appear on time, which made my mother feel uneasy, so she began to contact some friends including 2567 and sent them help. !"

Said, Mary looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran’s young face made the girl wonder how Qin Ran became friends with her mother.

"Your mother's hunch is right!"

"She met the assassination here!"

"The person who stabbed her, very familiar with her, prepared very well - not only made it silent, but also caught a chance to give your mother a fatal!"

Qin Ran was completely unable to answer such questions. He was only able to pull the topic back to the original girl's help.

"So, the person who assassinated her should be the original acquaintance and friend!"

Qin Ran stressed.

"So?"

Mary lowered her head.

I don't know what I am thinking.

"Although I don't want to bother you, I have to remind you that we need to get out of here - the former assassin is not the last one."

Qin Ran took a girl's shoulder.

He didn't want to see the sad expression of the other side.

"where are we going?"

The girl asked in vain.

"Tita Town!"
