Qiankuraichi immediately recalled the situation on the Asuka.

　　 He had already been recruited as soon as he entered the room.

　　 At first sight of "Suffocation Wilderness", he must escape from the illusion.

　　 If you use a noun to describe it, you can understand the "Suffocation Wilderness" at that time as a "to be triggered" state.

　　 Because of this, Qiancangyi made a judgment that Samuel had set a trap.

　　 This time, Robert and Pierce had already seen "The Cavern of Fear", and did not encounter the illusion until the investigation.

　　 The situation is very different.

　　 Of course, it can also be explained by "delayed trigger".

　　 The problem is that when several related incidents require multiple explanations to make them reasonable, this shows that in all likelihood, they are not really reasonable explanations.

　　 Compared with such a clever "calculation", someone secretly manipulates these paintings is a more reasonable explanation.

The emergence of 　　 black bugs made Qian Cang Yi more inclined to the latter point.

　　 After several days of investigation, the East Beacon City seems even more confusing.

　　 With the "Verdra Manuscript" as the center, the current events can be divided into several clues, which are related to each other but different from each other.

　　 In Pegasus City, the "Verdra Manuscript" was stolen from Pegasus Bank. After investigation, it was discovered that it was stolen by a bank teller.

　　 The reason for the theft was that he was able to exchange large amounts of money for the manuscript to satisfy the vanity of the bank teller, and the bank teller was contacted by the bank guard who borrowed the "pink devil" to kill the rival in love.

　　The "pink demon" of the bank guard comes from the painter Samuel.

　　 What method Samuel used to find the bank guard is still unknown.

　　 The only thing he knows is that after Samuel got the manuscript, he immediately took the Asuka to the East Beacon City in In'an.

　　 After Qiancang chased the East Beacon City, because Merman did not cooperate, he had to rely on the clues in his hands to start searching.

　　 obtained information about the "Expo of Life" from the room of the Asuka, which also led to the death of the chief officer of the Asuka.

　　 During the period, it was discovered that the Asuka and Baige Hospital had a happy grass transaction.

　　 obtained another painting from Sander’s collection, which resulted in Pierce’s death.

　　 During the period, it was discovered that Sand’s factory used a lot of illegal child labor, and it was learned that less than half of the children who were transported were sold as child labor.

　　 The two paintings point to the exhibition of life. There are various signs that Samuel seems to have not left the East Beacon City.

　　The only question is where exactly is Samuel hiding.

　　 If Samuel has the intention to hide, at the speed of two people, without clues, it may not be possible to find Samuel’s hiding place in the East Beacon City for a year.

　　 With this in mind, Qiancangichi issued an "ultimatum" to Merman.

　　 He must speed up the intensity of the investigation.

　　 Qiancang thought for a while, and continued to ask:

　　 "Did you and Pierce see anything strange?"

　　 Robert recalled the scene at the time, he seemed a little lost, and after a while, he opened his mouth and replied:

　　 "After the window was completely dark, there was no light around, as if I was no longer in the collection room, but in a dark cave."

　　 "There are things in the depths of the cave that make me terrified. Strictly speaking, it should not have been strong after watching the manuscript, because now I can still recall the fear at the time, and I can't recall the fear of the manuscript at all."

　　 "Perhaps because I have experienced similar things, so I recovered faster."

　　 "Pierce is different from me. He has been frightened by something deep in the cave and his legs are weak and he is almost sitting on the ground."

　　 "I started pulling Pierce and ran out of the cave, the only place in the room where there was light."

　　 When Robert said this, his shoulders trembled slightly and his hands hugged his chest.

　　 Qian Cangyi comforted:

　　 "It's okay..."

　　 A helpless smile appeared on Robert's face. He nodded and continued:

　　 "The thing behind has caught up, and I can clearly hear its sound, which is the same as the sound of a spoon scraping on a plate, very ear-piercing."

　　 "Behind, Pierce cried, begging me not to let go."

　　 "To be honest, I really wanted to let go. After all, I didn't know what was in the depths of the cave..."

　　 "How terrible is it... How terrible is it..."

　　 "All this may only be felt when facing it directly."

　　 "Unexpectedly, Pierce still didn't escape. Now I want to come. If I was a step slower, would I end up in the same way as Pierce."

　　 The expression on Robert's face became more and more depressed, like a patient who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

　　 Qian Cangyi did not let Robert continue to recall the experience in the cave, but changed the subject:

　　 "Robert, I mean did you see anyone following you?"

　　 "Not only people, but black bugs."

　　 Qiankuraichi's words made Robert's expression puzzled.

　　 Robert immediately understood what Qian Cangyi meant. He lowered his voice and asked:

　　 "Do you suspect someone is following us?"

　　 Qiancangyi did not speak, but took out a transparent bottle from his jacket pocket.

　　 There is a black bug lying on the wall of the bottle.

　　 Robert's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the bottle with his right hand and said:

"This this……"

　　 "Isn't this the black bug we saw on the Blue Pearl?"

　　 "Why do you have it on your hand?"

　　 Qiancang glanced around, and only after confirming that there was no one around, did he answer:

　　 "The black bug was found outside Sand's collection."

　　 "It took me a lot of hard work to catch it. In short, we have reason to doubt whether the original inference is correct."

　　 "You should take care of your injury first. I will ask Merman to arrange for Samuel as soon as possible at the police station."

　　 At this time, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time Nicholas' voice:

　　 "Mr. Robert, it's me."

　　 "Come in." Qiancang said.

　　 Nicholas opened the door and walked in, still holding a bunch of yellow irises.

　　 "Mr. Marshall, you are here too." Nicholas was a little surprised.

　　 "Are you here to visit Robert?" Qiancang said when he looked at the yellow iris in Nicholas's hand.

　　 Nicholas nodded and replied:

　　 "This is the iris I picked outside the city. I hope Mr. Robert will recover soon."

　　 After he finished speaking, he put the yellow iris beside the hospital bed.

　　 "Thank you, Nicholas." Robert reached out his right hand and touched Nicholas' head.

　　 Nicholas was a little embarrassed, he turned his head to look at Qian Cangyi and asked:

　　 "Mr. Marshall, what else can I help?"

　　 Qiancang shook his head and replied:

　　 "I will notify you if something happens."

　　Since Pierce's death, Qiancangichi basically will not let Nicholas participate in this matter.

　　 Asking Nicholas to do things is one aspect, and asking him to die is another aspect.

　　 Also, if Nicholas is exposed in front of Samuel, he might be startled.

　　 The door of the ward was knocked again, this time with an unfamiliar voice.

　　 "Is Mr. Marshall here?" A short chubby man opened the door.

　　He is George, the steward of Sand Factory.

　　 With a pleasing smile on his face, George said to Qian Cangyi:

　　 "This must be Mr. Marshall, really only aristocrats who often first enter the upper class can have such a temperament."

　　 "My name is George Leonard. It was Mr. Sander who sent me to speak. He hopes to meet Mr. Marshall at'Black Cat'."

　　 Qiancang nodded and replied:

　　 "I will go later."

　　 George smiled, then backed out, turned around and left after walking out of the ward door.

　　 Nicholas was a little puzzled, and asked:

　　 "How did he recognize you, Mr. Marshall, at a glance?"

　　 Robert laughed and said:

　　 "There are only three people here, one child and one injured. The rest is naturally Mr. Marshall who possesses ‘aristocratic temperament’."

　　 Nicholas laughed after hearing it.

　　……

　　 "Black Cat" is the name of a pub in the inner city.

After 　　 Qiancang sorted out a bit, he set off for the Black Cat Tavern.

　　 In the box named Centaur, Qiancang Yi found Sander.

　　 Sander’s face was full of worries. The policeman died in his house in a very strange way. In any case, he couldn't clear the suspicion.

　　 Even though Pierce’s death has nothing to do with him, his reputation and the sales of the factory’s products are still affected.

　　 "Please sit down, Mr. Marshall." Sand stretched out his right hand and pointed to a position across the table.

　　 After the money warehouse was seated, Sander continued:

　　 "I'm sorry for Pierce's death, I didn't know that the painting had such power."

　　 "Calling Mr. Marshall this time, I actually want to tell you something."

　　 "I said before that the exhibition of life needs a recommendation to participate, but in fact, I lied."

　　 "I don't even know what the exhibition of life is. I said this to leave the detention room early."

　　 Sander took the initiative to tell the lie he made up.

　　 The expression on Qiancang's face did not change, which is not unexpected.

　　 Seeing that Qian Cangyi did not respond, Sand was a little surprised, and continued:

　　 "I didn't lie about other things."

　　 "I don't need to lie either..."

　　 Qiancang sighed slightly and said:

　　 "Sander, do you remember Samuel's appearance?"

　　Sunder nodded and replied:

　　 "I can't possibly forget."

　　 "Samuel's looks are unusual."

　　 Qiancang nodded and said:

　　 "I will find a painter to paint what you are talking about, and I hope you won't lie anymore."

　　 "If you lie, I have to suspect that you and Samuel are accomplices."

　　 "I hope you can realize this."

　　Sunder breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"sure."

　　 After he finished speaking, he took a sip of the light green absinthe on the table.

　　 Qian Cangyi continued to ask:

　　 "Sander, it's impossible for you to come to me just for this, right?"

　　Sander was a little embarrassed, he took another sip of absinthe before he said:

　　 "Last time you asked me about my children, so I specifically asked about it. I can't tell who it is."

　　 "I have an important message."

　　 "The place where those children go is mainly the Bone-Burial Wilderness, which is the wilderness where the East Beacon City extends all the way to the west."

　　 "Don't tell others that I told you about this, otherwise my life would be in danger."

　　 A new clue.

　　Bone Burial Wilderness is a vast wilderness, because when the wasteland was opened up, too many people died in the wilderness, so it was given such a name.

　　The story in the wilderness can even publish a book.

　　 At present, the Burial Wilderness is still under continuous development, but the progress is slow and it takes longer to stabilize the heel.

　　 Qiancang thought a bit, but didn't reply.

　　 Sand licked his lips and continued:

　　 "I am here this time to borrow some money from Mr. Marshall for urgent use."

　　 "There have been a lot of things that have happened to me recently. In addition, I only invested in a batch of new machines last month, so there is a shortage of funds."

　　 Qiancangyi put his gaze on Sander's face.

　　 According to Sander, his intention is obvious, selling the information he has to borrow money.

　　 Bank borrowings require interest, and Sander must have already taken a loan, and currently only able to find money warehouse one.

　　 Qiancangyi did not immediately agree, but did not refuse, but asked carefully:

"How much do you need?"

　　 Sander opened his mouth and said a high amount. Seeing that Qiancangyi didn't say anything, he cut off the amount by one-third.

　　 Qiancangichi still did not show.

　　 Sander's face became more and more ugly, and said:

　　 "Mr. Marshall, there can be no more, this is my limit."

　　 Qian Cangyi hinted:

　　 "If there is news of a route or key person..."

　　 Sander heard these words with a very embarrassed expression, he begged:

　　 "Mr. Marshall, you are killing me. They are not philanthropists."

　　 Qiancang didn't move at all.

　　 Sander hesitated again and again, then sighed softly, drank the absinthe on the table, and said:

　　 "I can help Mr. Marshall to find out, but I have to maintain the original price, and you must first give me half of it."

　　 "No problem." Qiancang nodded.

　　 Sander got up and put on the top hat, with an extremely reluctant smile on his face, he slightly bent over and said to Qian Cangyi:

　　 "Then, I will leave first. During this time, I will stay in the house on the north side of the outer city. You can come to me at any time."

　　 Qiancang smiled and replied:

"wish you success!"

　　……

　　 Inside the East Beacon City Police Station.

　　 The portrait of Samuel that Sander is identifying.

　　According to his description, the painter Qian Cangyi invited painted many different facial features.

　　 Qiancang picked up the portrait.

　　Samuel in Sand’s eyes has long black shawl hair, clear eyebrows, a straight nose, and a not-so-obvious mole on the corner of his right mouth. The whole face exudes neutral beauty.

　　 Qian Cangyi turned the portrait to face Sander and asked:

　　 "Are you sure this is the case?"

　　 There is a big difference between Samuel in the portrait and the Samuel Qian Cangyi knew about in Pegasus City.

　　 Samuel of Pegasus City has short black hair, rough edges, and a gloomy temperament.

　　 "Yes!" Sander nodded affirmatively.

　　 Qiancangyi stopped talking, but turned around and left the room and came to Merman's office.

　　 After the last conversation, Merman has a lot less files on his desk.

　　 "This is a portrait of Samuel. Let your subordinates bring a copy. Then I will find someone to send the portrait." Qian Cangyi still spoke to Merman in his usual tone.

　　 Merman looked up and said:

　　 "No problem, do what you say."

"There is one thing I must tell you in advance. I will pass on what you mean, but whether they will do what you say, I don’t know~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition, I have one more thing to ask Ask you, how dangerous is it?"

　　 "Will they be the same as Pierce?"

　　 Qiancang put the picture away, thought for a while, and replied:

"possible."

　　 "I don't want to comment on your work, but regarding the trafficking of children, I think you shouldn't be ignorant."

　　 "What do you think of this kind of thing? Have you ever thought of a solution?"

　　 Qiancang changed the subject.

　　 Merman sneered and replied:

　　 "It's rare that you would know... I already knew the happy grass of the Baige Hospital."

　　 "The case in my hand is like countless threads. I only need to pull it lightly to know where these threads will extend."

　　 "They will all gather in the inner city, and they will all gather on a few people."

　　 "There are two kinds of rules in this world, one is used to deceive people; the other is used to follow."

　　 "Although I think you are very upset, I still give you a suggestion."

　　 Merman leaned forward slightly, with a serious expression, and said in a low voice:

　　 "Stay away from the inner city. Not everyone is as bully as I am."
