v3 Chapter 1198: Reasons to pursue

The red light illuminates from the index finger of the right hand, and the effect of the miracle ring is activated.

At this moment, all aspects of Qiancang's capabilities have been strengthened to a certain extent.

The scorched hand seemed to ignore everything, still attacking according to the original route, as if it was so powerful that even the power provided by the **** movie could not interfere.

In an instant, an imaginary picture emerged in the depths of my mind.

In the picture, a man has a horrified expression on his face, his eyes protruding, and his right hand reaches into his mouth.

Not far from the man is a potted plant with pink leaves.

This man is Newman's rival in love.

Illusion attack!

Qiancang reacted instantly.

He no longer pays attention to the scorched hands, but chooses to retreat quickly and pull the distance away.

After a second, the scorched hand disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Qiancangyi regained his sight on the weird potted plant in front of the window.

The plants in the pot seem to have nothing special except for the strange color.

Even the opening and closing movements caused by the blades just now no longer appear.

Starting from close to the window, Qiancang Yi had entered the hallucinations, and the hallucinations showed sufficient lethality until the scorched hands appeared.

The effect of unyielding will can reduce the duration of hallucinations.

The refreshing feeling just now is the characteristic of the unyielding will.

If the illusion is allowed to continue, I am afraid that Qiancang will end up in the same way.

Although it consumes part of the vitality and the charge of the miracle master, it also has a lot of gains.

Why does Newman have this weird potted plant?

Along this line may be able to trace the traces of the cultists.

Even if the manuscript has been taken away from Pegasus City, there is a chance to retrieve it again.

Humhhhhh!

There was the sound of footsteps outside the door, with a fast rhythm and a lighter voice.

Qiancang frowned and chose to avoid the corner.

The cloak of invisibility gave him this ability.

Even with the observation power of an eagle eye, it is impossible to distinguish, this is still the case of knowing the location, let alone ordinary people.

There was a knock on the door.

The sound is slight.

As soon as the warehouse has no equipment to use, it is too late to use it when the door is opened.

The door lock did not turn, the person outside was not Newman, and there was no key.

"Are you there?" A soft shout came from outside the door, a female voice, and I had heard it.

Qian Cangyi searched for the source of the sound in his mind, and several strange faces flashed in his mind. Two seconds later, he confirmed the source of the sound.

It was the second suspect, Marianne, a bank teller with a previous conviction.

It needs to be explained that Marianne's criminal record is not conclusive evidence, but because someone at the ball recognized the jewelry.

Naturally, Marianne would not admit it. Instead, she left the prom as an excuse. Someone asked when she attended the prom again later. Marianne argued that it was on loan.

Although Marianne was not caught, everyone knew about it.

It stands to reason that the bank shouldn't keep Marianne, but the personal relationships established by Marianne's participation in the dance helped her.

Part of Pegasus Bank’s deposits came from Marian indirectly, and there was no conclusive evidence of theft, so Marian still worked at Pegasus Bank.

Qiancangyi was a little curious.

The relationship between Marianne and Newman is obviously just a colleague, not a lover.

Now that Marianne came to Newman's house at such a sensitive time, it must not be because she came to take a look.

Marianne’s residence is about an hour’s walk from Newman’s home.

"Newman, it's me!" Marianne shouted in a low voice.

After that, a small voice came from outside the door, it seemed that Marianne was complaining, but the voice was so small that he had to be close to hear clearly.

Qiancang walked towards the door, his steps were light and inaudible.

After the ear was pressed against the door, there was a cold touch.

Marianne's whisper came from outside the door:

"He must go to the bar to drink again. I should have visited the Dancer's Pub just now."

"Oh, forget it. It's too messy and there are too many people. If someone else sees me and him, I might be suspicious."

"This guy... I shouldn't have promised him to secretly press the **** manuscript!"

"Who would have thought that there would be such a big movement in a manuscript?"

"I hope Newman hasn't handed in the manuscript yet."

"Continue to wait here? Wait...I can't sleep when I go back anyway."

The thief who stole the "Verdra Manuscript" was Marian.

Qiancang's eyes lit up.

Based on what he found in Newman's room, after sorting out the situation, he immediately understood the cause and effect.

Newman has a violent personality and repeatedly threatened to kill his rival in public. For some reason, the contradiction between Newman and his rival worsened, but Newman did not want to kill and be imprisoned, so he took advantage of the power of cultists.

The weird potted plants on the windowsill are the tools provided by the cultists to Newman.

After Newman's murder, the cultists grasped Newman's handle, so they "threatened" Newman and asked him to help steal the manuscript from Pegasus Bank.

Said it is a threat, and the cultist may have a tactful tone during the conversation, and he may also provide a certain amount of remuneration.

Newman had no choice but to find Marianne, and the two conspired to steal the manuscript.

Until today, the chain reaction caused by the disappearance of the manuscript made the two realize the value of the manuscript.

Once Qiancang returned to the corner, even if Marianne wanted to wait, he didn't need to leave immediately.

There are many places to hide in the room, and with the invisible cloak, there is no need to worry about being discovered.

After Newman comes back, Robert will also follow Newman's home. When the two of them take action together, they can subdue Newman and Marian at the same time.

If you don't control the two tonight, after the two meet, maybe they will destroy the evidence and escape from Pegasus City.

This is not the result Qiancang wanted to see.

About half an hour later, there were heavy footsteps outside the door, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, like the footsteps of a drunkard.

At the door of Newman's house, a woman with blond hair and gorgeous clothes turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

She is Marian Hill, the teller of Pegasus Bank.

Beauty is her weapon, and beauty is her pursuit.

She who is not rich at home often lacks money.

Not far away, a strong man with short brown hair was staggering towards him.

He is the guard Marianne has been waiting for Newman Gary.

"Newman, there has been such a big problem, you still have the mind to drink?" Marianne asked in a low voice.

Newman blushed, and the air he exhaled was full of a strong smell of alcohol. He looked at Marianne standing in front of him and opened his eyes slightly.

"Where is the manuscript?" Marianne said with an impatient tone with her left hand akimbo and her right hand stretched out.

"Manuscript?" Newman was taken aback.

"I don't need your money anymore, give me the manuscript, I assume that this has never happened." Marianne also wanted to solve similar things in the same way.

"Marian, go in and say." Newman continued to move forward, waving Marian away in front of him.

Marianne didn't expect Newman to be so rude and almost fell to the ground. After she stood firmly, she looked at Newman's back and whispered "Bah".

The two entered the house.

After entering the room, Newman walked straight to the wooden chair. He grabbed the armrest and sat down. Even so, he almost sat outside the chair.

Marianne stood at the door, arms folded, her face was very angry, as if it would happen at any time.

In the moonlight, the weird potted plants in the window were slowly opening and closing.

Marianne waited for ten seconds, seeing that Newman seemed to fall asleep, so she spoke:

"Newman, you'd better give me the manuscript quickly, otherwise I don't know what I will do."

"A month ago you deliberately let everyone know that you were drinking in a tavern, didn't you just want to tell everyone that you didn't kill them?"

"Unexpectedly, this proves that you are suspicious."

"If I get caught, I will tell you, and you will be worse than me!"

Marianne threatened, trying to force Newman to hand over the manuscript.

She knew in her heart that the manuscript was not what Newman needed, and Newman's salary was not high, and she couldn't afford to buy her.

Newman, who was half lying in the chair suddenly awake, stood up and said:

"The manuscript...I have sold the manuscript, not in my place."

"Don't worry, you won't be discovered, don't say anything, no one will know."

Marianne replied with a cold face:

"I don't care about this, you'd better buy the manuscript right away."

"If it hadn't been for you to tell me that the manuscript was lost and it would be fine, I would never agree to you."

When Newman heard these words, the blue veins on his neck violently, his eyes were sulking, and he walked towards Marian step by step.

Marian sensed something was wrong and turned around and opened the door.

At this time, Newman suddenly violent, rushed to strangle Marianne's neck.

Marianne was holding Newman's right hand with both hands, kicking her legs constantly, trying to break free of Newman's restraint, but the difference in strength between the two was too great.

At the critical moment, an agile figure opened the cabinet and rushed towards Newman.

[Reminder: Rescue Marianne will increase a small amount of score. 】

Qiancangyi, who was hiding in the cabinet, suddenly heard a reminder in his mind.

Qian Cangyi realized that the prompts in this movie were a bit too frequent, as if he was being favored.

Combined with the reasons mentioned by Xiaotai, this situation is not impossible, after all, Qiancang is regarded as a self-declining film pay for participating in the show.

To him, Marian's life and death were not important.

Only Newman can be traced through Marianne, and now he already knows Newman, so even if Marianne dies, the clues will not be interrupted.

However, if the score can be increased, it doesn't matter if Marianne is saved.

Qiancang stepped to behind Newman one or two, and then he tripped Newman to the ground with a sweep of his legs.

During the strenuous exercise, Qian Cangyi felt the pain from his feet.

The wounds in "The Treasure of the Burning Sea" have not healed yet.

Newman became unbalanced and loosened her grip on Marianne.

"Cough cough cough..." Marianne covered her throat and coughed desperately.

At the moment of life and death, she almost thought she would die here.

After landing, Newman turned around to support the ground with both hands and immediately climbed up.

Before he got up, he kicked him in the face again with a side kick.

The pain on his face made him awake from his drunkenness, but at the same time he felt a whirlpool.

Qiancangyi intends to take advantage of the victory, but Newman has recovered.

In a hurry, Newman grabbed the things around him and threw them to Qiancangyi, and then seized the opportunity to rush to the bedroom while Qiancangyi was hiding.

As soon as Qiancang followed, he saw Newman put his hand under the pillow as soon as he entered the door.

Subsequently, a black pistol appeared in Newman's right hand.

Then, the muzzle of the black hole aimed at Qiancangyi.

Moonlight shone on Qiancangyi's face.

Newman recognized the person in front of him by the moonlight.

For him, the development of the situation to this day is all because of the person in front of him.

The expression on his face gradually approached madness, and the desire to destroy everything occupied his mind.

Now he didn't want to think about the result, he just wanted to kill the person in front of him and make him disappear.

"It's all you... it's all your fault..." Newman roared loudly.

Amid the roar, gunfire sounded.

Marianne covered her ears and screamed loudly.

Qiancang had anticipated this a long time ago, and quickly hid behind the wall, avoiding the bullet that was directed at him.

The bullet hit the white wall facing the door, leaving a charred bullet hole.

Nearby residents heard the gunshots and awakened from their sleep. There were more and more scattered lights illuminating the Black Swan Street.

Robert, who had been staying outside the door ready to support, started to move after hearing the gunshots.

He pushed the door and found that it could not be opened. Then, he took out his pistol and pointed it at the door lock.

Pong!

The bullet broke the door lock.

Robert pushed the door in. He had just stepped into the living room when he saw Newman walking out of the bedroom with a gun.

The two looked at each other and found each other, and then moved their guns at the same time, aiming at the enemy who was also armed.

Qiancang frowned, and the situation in front of him was the last situation he wanted to see.

Newman can't die, he still needs to ask Newman about the whereabouts of the manuscript.

Robert can't die even more. For nothing else, just relying on the friendship between the two in the movie "The Treasure of the Burning Sea", Qiancangyi will not let Robert die.

In an instant, Qiancangyi used the leader of Time Tomb again.

He intends to give it a try.

Originally, he was hiding by the wall, planning to wait for Newman to come out and then use the leader of the Time Tomb to subdue Newman.

Now he can't do this, the only thing he can do is to make Newman lose his balance.

Although theoretically he can resolve the current crisis, it is obviously unnecessary.

Special props, Bullet Buster, are too wasteful to use at this time.

Time is filled up again.

Newman leaned back while pulling the trigger, and then the bullet hit the ceiling, leaving a bullet hole.

Robert's bullet hit Newman's chest.

Qiancang took a breath, then stretched out his hand to hold Newman's gun-holding right hand and snatched the pistol away.

The blood flowed from Newman's chest and instantly dyed his clothes red.

"Hold it up." Qiancang Yi held on to the wound.

Robert ran over. He knew that the bullet he fired might make the lead mid laner, so he didn't bother Qiancang Yi.

Newman's expression gradually stiffened, and his life was not long.

Qiancang took the time to ask:

"Who let you steal the manuscript?"

"You were killed by him, tell me his name."

"As long as you can find him, any clue is fine."

"I will avenge you!"

At this time, anything can be said.

The focus of Newman's eyes was on Qian Cangyi's face, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and regret.

Qian Cangyi's words made him a little excited, but hesitated.

"Tell me..." Qian Cangyi looked at Newman with "sincere" eyes.

Newman closed his eyes, and at the same time, said a name:

"Samuel Fergus."

This name is Newman's last words.

After he finished speaking, his fist was completely opened, and his whole person was paralyzed on the ground without any movement.

The cold moonlight shone on his face, as if covered with a piece of silver-white linen.

"It's fine." Robert breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiancang stood up, patted Robert on the shoulder lightly, and said:

"It's okay. Between there is no clue to the manuscript and you will be hit by a bullet, I prefer to accept the former."

Robert smiled and said nothing.

...

Three days later.

The police heard about Samuel's whereabouts.

A week ago, Samuel had already boarded the cargo ship and followed the cargo across the Villefort Sea to the New World-In'an.

Samuel is a painter, not well-known, but from a well-off family, so he has a good life and travels often.

His painting style is eerie and weird.

The expressions of the characters in the paintings are either pious or fearful. The background of the paintings is mostly hazy fog. In the fog, the outlines of unknown monsters often appear.

After three days, the effect of no more pain was fully realized, and Qian Cangyi's body had returned to a normal level.

Now, as soon as Qiancang returns to three days ago, he must be able to completely subdue Newman in the first sneak attack.

After investigation, the plants in the pots have also known their origins.

This plant comes from the interior of Yin'an and can create terrible hallucinations.

"Jiwuluo" is the name of the plant, but people living in In'an prefer to call it the "pink devil".

Qiancang knew that Newman's love rival had died at the hands of the pink demon.

Among Samuel's paintings, there is a picture of a pink demon.

The pink demon leaves in the painting are bright red, and in the background, many scorched hands are swinging.

Currently, the pink demon has been sent to the academy for research.

[Discover the secret of the "Pink Devil" and add a few character ratings. 】

The **** movie also gives relevant hints.

In St. Walker's Church, Bishop Owen is wearing a white bishop's uniform, standing under the octagonal stained glass window.

The light outside the window shone on Owen through the glass, as if it had dyed his clothes with a layer of holy light.

Qiancang walked slightly behind Owen, bent over slightly, and then said:

"My Master, what can I do?"

Owen turned his head, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he nodded and said:

"Marshall, you did a great job this time."

"The Pope already knows this, and his meaning is very clear. The "Verdela Manuscript" must be taken back."

"This is a letter for the East Beacon City Police Department to assist in the investigation. You should keep it away."

"There is also a letter with the same content, I have sent someone to send it out to make sure it is foolproof.

East Beacon City is a port city in In'an, similar to Molov Port, but with a much higher status.

The city that the cargo ship Selmu was heading to was the East Beacon City of In'an.

Owen took out a sealed envelope with the name "Merman Clive" written on the recipient.

Qiancangyi took the letter in his hand.

Owen suddenly thought of something and said:

"Marshall, this thing is very special."

"The Pope does not want to let too many people know about this, so you are the only one to go to In'an."

When he said this, his right hand stretched out and placed it on Qiancangyi's shoulder:

"Marshall, I have faith in you."

"God will bless you."

Qiancang looked up at Bishop Owen, his eyes clear, and replied:

"I will send a letter back to report the progress of the investigation."

"If there is nothing else, I want to leave for In'an as soon as possible."

"Start one day earlier and get the manuscript one day earlier."

Owen was very satisfied when he heard this, and he whispered:

"Go..."

Marshall's home.

Qiancangyi had already started preparations, and his weapons, gold coins, a change of clothes, and Yin'an's introduction books, etc., were all put in his suitcase.

Robert is also preparing his salute at this time.

In the afternoon, the two boarded the cargo ship, the Unicorn, heading to In'an.

Qiancangyi stood on the deck, looking into the distance.

Two continents and one ocean hide too many secrets and sins.

This time I went to Yin'an.

...

A few days later, the Unicorn sailed steadily in the Villefort.

Qiancangyi and Robert leaned on the guardrail on the deck, and the moist sea breeze blew through their ears, and the seagull in the distance slid from the right side of the ship to the left side.

"Unexpectedly, I would leave for In'an soon after I arrived in Pegasus City." Robert sighed.

Qiancang placed his gaze on the surface of the sea, and suddenly remembered one thing in his heart:

"Maybe, this time we go to In'an to solve the mystery on the Blue Pearl."

There were too many secrets hidden on the Blue Pearl, several things were entangled, and almost all insiders died because of the appearance of the ghost ship, and it was impossible to continue tracking.

Robert nodded and replied:

"When I look back now, I always feel that the experience of the last few months is like a dream."

"The parents were heartbroken after the child was lost. I told them of Anthony's death after I returned."

"Do you know their reaction?"

"First they didn't believe it, then they were angry, accused me of talking nonsense, and then negotiated with me, saying that adding more money would let me continue to look for it."

"I can only comfort them, and then they cried and talked to me about their past happy experiences, until they were tired of crying, they finally accepted the facts."

"In fact, during my time in Port Molov, apart from investigating my own, I also paid attention to the situation in this regard."

"As you said, there are many things involved, too many secrets and too dark."

"And Jenny... a cute little girl, alas..."

"Even if I knew in advance that these things would happen on the Blue Pearl, I think I would still have no hesitation in boarding the sinful cargo ship."

Qiancang thought for a while and asked:

"What are you doing as a detective?"

"Is it to find out the truth, or do I want to eat?"

"Or for...justice?"

Robert looked down at the sea, tapped the railing in front of his lower body with both hands, and replied softly:

"It's all a bit, maybe a bit more justice."

"I was rescued by a detective when I was a child, and I had an idea at that time."

At this point, he changed the subject and asked:

"What about you? Why be a priest? I feel like you just treat it as a job."

As soon as Qiancang closed his eyes, Marshall's memory came to mind. He opened his eyes and replied:

"I tell you, don't tell anyone."

"Huh? No problem." Robert's face showed interest.

Qiancang said with a smile at the corner of his mouth:

"Because you can listen to other people's secrets openly..."

Robert was stunned for a moment, and the look in Qian Cangyi's eyes became strange, then he laughed and said:

"I have to admit, it is indeed a good reason."

As soon as Qiancang averted his gaze, he looked towards the sea and remembered an incident on the Blue Pearl. He asked:

"I remember what you said on the Blue Pearl... the detective group?"

"Anyway, we are going to Yinan now, so we might as well give it a try."

"What do you think the name of the group should be better?"

His words shocked Robert.

"I almost forgot..." Robert blinked.

"Now I remind you." Qiancang said.

Robert touched his chin with his right hand and said:

"Why don't you just use the name of my detective agency?"

"It's called'trapezoidal waves.'"

"How?"

Qiancang spread his hands, nodded and said:

"Yes, no problem, but can I ask why it's called?"

Robert hesitated, seeing that he could not fool it, so he replied:

"Because the name is impressive."

Half a month passed quickly.

The iconic building of East Beacon City, the Brilliant Lighthouse, stands on the shore ~lightnovelpub.net~ The Brilliant Lighthouse is a white round building. The tall lighthouse looks like a giant overlooking the ships passing by.

Seeing Brilliant waiting for him means that the East Beacon City is about to arrive.

Qiancang stood on the deck, and the distant coastline stretched out of sight.

Looking around, countless ships enter and exit the port.

Inside the port, a vibrant city gradually emerged.

Inside the tall and sturdy wall, the red and black roofs are staggered into a unique picture of the city.

On the windows of the white walls, people can be seen waving their arms everywhere, seeming to warmly welcome the visitors to the East Beacon City.

East Beacon City, Yin'an's largest port city, is about to welcome a new guest.
