Report

A thick book that was half the height of a person was placed on a special shelf by Kieran to read it carefully.

From time to time, Kieran would turn around and record.

Around Kieran, there were hundreds of similar books.

They had already left their original shelves and were placed on the ground casually. However, they were not damaged at all. On the contrary, they were very careful.

Kieran was not a person who would destroy books at will.

Moreover, he had reached an agreement with the curator here. He could read all the books in the underground library at will, but he could not damage them.

Otherwise, even if he had the appointment letter of the police consultant, he would still be expelled.

Of course, before being expelled, he would have to pay the necessary compensation.

Fortunately, for the past week, Kieran had done quite well.

Except for the fact that he did not have the energy to put the books back in their original places.

However, no one would blame Kieran when they saw his red eyes and tired face.

For a person who had not had a good rest for a few days, how could you blame him for not moving the books that required the cooperation of two or three people?

Whoosh!

With the sound of pages turning, Kieran finished reading the thick book in front of him.

Kieran carefully moved the book down and moved the last book in the room up.

Before opening the book, Kieran rubbed his swollen temples.

Although there was not much content in these thick books, the reason for their appearance was because of the backward craftsmanship. In order to better preserve the books, they had to use special materials to make them. Therefore, each page was one to two centimeters thick, and the whole book added up to fifty to sixty pages.

However, this was only the size of a book!

After adding the hundreds of books together, there would be a total of five to six thousand pages, which would make anyone flinch.

Especially since these books did not talk about the same knowledge.

There was history, religion, culture, geography, and even more myths and legends.

It was a complete hodgepodge.

Even though Kieran had the baptism of the information explosion era, he still had a headache when faced with such chaotic knowledge.

However, he had to finish reading these books.

Because this was part of his plan!

He needed to convince the person who was after the Church of Dawn's thousand-year-old wealth that he had found the whereabouts of the wealth.

Just his reputation as a detective was not enough!

He still needed more practical actions!

Flipping through the books in front of him was naturally one of the actions, and so was the records that he carried with him.

As for whether the spy could see it or not?

Kieran had never doubted this.

Where did he get the information about the thousand-year-old wealth of the Church of Dawn?

Books!

Perhaps it was some books passed down within the family.

Or he might have stumbled upon it in a book.

Or perhaps it was simply the narration of someone with a heart.

But no matter which one it was, the other party would definitely need more sources of information in order to verify it.

And what better place was there than a library that kept all the records of history!

Likewise, he would be careful not to let others notice his actions.

Kieran knew very well who the real owner of the library was, even though the library was managed by the city council in name.

The other party had already displayed his extraordinary strength.

The disappearance of Sheriff John for a week should have caused a stir in the city.

However, a secret order from the city council had calmed everything down.

"John has been sent on a secret mission!"

A simple sentence had erased everyone's doubts.

If Kieran did not know what John was going to do, he would have been deceived by the secret order as well.

Deputy Leschuder was one of them.

The Deputy Sheriff's attention was completely focused on the gangsters. Every day, he would find trouble with those gangsters non-stop.

It was because of his persistence in justice and a competitive heart.

The competition with Sheriff John!

Kieran did not comment on that.

However, he became even more vigilant towards the person who was spying on him.

A simple secret order was enough to divert the attention of Deputy Chief Leschuder, who might have caused trouble for Kieran.

Such a method once again proved that the spy's identity was not simple.

As a matter of fact, on the first day Kieran had arrived at the library, he had sensed an unusual gaze.

The gaze had been well hidden, but for Kieran's D- Intuition, it was clear as day.

His superhuman Intuition allowed Kieran to identify the spy hiding in the shadows.

However, Kieran did not act rashly.

Kieran knew that the spy was just one of the spy's men.

A very capable man.

Judging from the corner of his eyes, Kieran could tell that the spy was a good fighter.

He was two meters tall, and even though he was sitting there, he bent his back as much as he could, making others look like he was hunched over. However, the loose robe couldn't completely hide his strong and powerful muscles.

His arms were as thick as a man's thigh, which was enough to prove that the spy was a powerful melee fighter.

Moreover, the way the spy hid in the shadows, from Kieran's point of view, had reached the Entry Level of [Undercover].

Kieran could not tell whether the spy knew any special attack techniques or not.

However, the big, strong body coupled with the [Undercover] technique reminded Kieran of the Guardian Knight.

Even if Kieran was not as strong as Guntherson.

Still, he could not be underestimated.

More importantly, how many subordinates did this so-called Evan have?

The thought had popped up in Kieran's mind a week ago.

This would determine whether his plan would succeed or not.

The spy did not seem like someone who would place himself in danger.

Even if he had absolute confidence, he would have brought enough men with him.

If it was just one or two of them, it would be fine, but what about four or five? Or even more?

Although the spy had recruited people like Swarko and Lushan to work for him, he should not have more powerful men. Who could guarantee that this was not a misdirection?

That was why Kieran was even more careful.

Not only did he read every book carefully, but he also took meticulous notes. Even though Kieran could only check the books he had read, he couldn't verify the notes he had taken.

After a long breath, Kieran opened the book in front of him again.

Even if he had to put on an act, he had to make it look real.

...

When the sky was about to turn dark, the librarian came in.

"Mr. Kieran, we are closing now!"

The librarian reminded Kieran.

"Okay! I'll be done right away! "

Kieran said as he quickly copied the contents of the book into his notebook. When he was done, he smiled at the librarian.

"Thank you for your care this week!

How was it? Any results? "

"Yes, a lot. Today will be the last time I come to check. Thank you again for your generosity!"

"Don't mention it!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Kieran said goodbye to the librarian. Someone escorted him out of the underground library and saw Kieran off in a wagon.

A while after Kieran left, the librarian also left in a wagon.

More than 10 minutes later, the wagon arrived at a hidden alley behind the commercial street.

After three rounds of checks, the librarian was brought into a slightly dark room by a buff man who was almost 2 meters tall.

"My lord!"

The librarian bowed at the man in the room who was shrouded in shadows.

"How is it?"

A heavy voice came from the shadows.

"Kieran went through all the information about the Church of Dawn in that era, he must have gotten something. He recorded it all in his notebook!"

The librarian reported in detail and suggested a suggestion, thinking that he was smart.

"We can send someone to steal that notebook!"

However, the man in the shadows was not happy.

"You want me to follow your orders?"

The man said in a calm tone.

However, the librarian's body was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

"My … My lord, you know I didn't mean that!"

The librarian knelt on the floor, trembling as he answered.

The librarian knew who the man was and what he represented, so his heart was filled with fear.

However, his begging did not seem to work.

"Tru!"

The man called softly, then lowered his head and started to think.

The buff man, who was almost 2 meters tall, appeared in the room and grabbed the librarian by the neck.

Crack!

After a loud crack, the librarian who had just informed the librarian had his neck broken and his body thrown out of the room.

From the beginning to the end, the man in the shadows did not even raise his head.

He did not care at all.

To him, the death of the librarian was like killing a fly. It was no different from killing a fly.

Of course, he would not have been this strict in the past.

However, after experiencing a betrayal, he felt that this was necessary.

"Swarko, Lushan!"

The person sitting in the shadows muttered in a low voice.

Judging from the information he received, these two fellows were completely under the command of the great detective.

As for why?

The great detective was more likely to lead them to the treasure that the Church of Dawn had accumulated over a thousand years.

The librarian knew how greedy the two of them were.

He had been using it as a way to control them.

He thought he had done a good job.

However, reality had given him a hard slap in the face.

The two of them had betrayed him!

The librarian swore that he would teach them a lesson and teach them a lesson.

However, he would teach the bastard who had made the two idiots betray him a lesson!

"Kieran!"

The man grunted coldly.

Then, a few orders were given.
