Chapter 30: The Arrival

Bang!

In the sound of the rubbing of the tire rubber against the ground, Eckerd, who was just about to turn around, threw himself in front of the bridge, and in his wide eyes, a white cat shadow flashed away.

The cat is a magical creature, whether you are poor or rich, whether you are healthy or sick, and whether you are happy or sad, it ...... They all look down on you.

Of course, most of the time, the appearance of cats will attract people's attention, and even have the idea of petting and raising.

But in this secluded and dark street, the sudden appearance of a cat does not make people have similar thoughts at all, and a strange feeling has long filled everyone's hearts.

Eckerd got up in embarrassment, loosened his tie, twisted his uncomfortable back, and subconsciously thought about Qin Ran's look.

Qin Ran was still sitting there, his sitting posture had not changed, and his face was still expressionless.

Usually seeing such an expression, there is nothing, but at this time, Eckerd breathed a sigh of relief, and he sat back in his position.

"How?"

Eckerd asked, turning his head to look around, as if worried about something unforeseeable.

Obviously, the deputy director is still a little uneasy.

"Go on."

Qin Ran said lightly.

"Drive!"

After hearing Qin Ran's answer, the deputy director finally breathed a sigh of relief, he patted the back of the seat behind him and motioned for the driver to continue.

The driver was tempted to say no.

But he didn't have a choice.

In the face of such a choice in this world, those who can have the right to say no will always be a minority.

Even......

Less than you think.

The car started again.

Qin Ran sat in the chair, and the corner of his eye swept over Mei Huasheng in the seat next to him, recalling the white cat shadow just now.

Although it was fleeting, it was enough for Qin Ran to see everything clearly.

It was a cat with white fur, blue eyes, and athletic limbs.

Very clean and nice.

Apparently someone kept the cat.

And according to the general cat's activity radius......

Qin Ran raised his head and looked at the building at the end of the alley.

Ewood Apartments!

"It's more careless than I thought."

"Sure enough......"

"Is it because it's been too long and you're paralyzed?"

Qin Ran muttered to himself in his heart, and then, he closed his eyes.

The unexpected information gave him more certainty.

And now?

All he needs to do is wait to reach his destination.

When the nanny car moved forward again, the interview car, which had already traveled a certain distance, also started again.

The two cars drove towards their destination at a speed close to that of a turtle, as if they hoped that they would never reach it, but even if they were turtles, there was still a moment to reach the end in the face of this small alley that was not infinitely long.

After this period of time, it was completely dark.

The three-story Ewood apartment stands in such darkness that even if the gaffer turns on the searchlight, he can still only see a corner of the entire apartment.

Obviously, this apartment is much bigger than it looks in the photos.

Qin Ran stepped out of the nanny car and walked straight to the apartment.

Behind him, the pale lights, cameras, and Eckerd, who was a temporary guest host, were about to follow, but Qin Ran waved his hand.

"I need to check it out on my own."

"It won't be too long, about fifteen minutes."

Qin Ran said this, and walked slowly around the iron fence on the periphery of the apartment, and Mei Huasheng, who was silent throughout the whole process, followed closely behind Qin Ran.

Qin Ran glanced around.

Mei Huasheng looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran felt that scrutinizing gaze again, but he didn't pay attention to the other party at all, he was looking at other things.

The light of the flashlight shone through the iron fence and shone on the dry garden, and the clear shadow divided the garden into strips.

As Qin Ran's footsteps moved, the shape of such a strip followed the light.

There are no flowers in the garden, and there are only handfuls of weeds.

The weeds grew so dense that in some places they even broke through the fence and grew outside, making it difficult for people standing outside the apartment to see inside without actually approaching it.

This is true not only near the garden, but also at the back door of the apartment.

Overgrown weeds are no longer enough to describe such a growing environment, it should be said that it is surrounded.

Qin Ran's gaze stayed on the small door for a moment.

Unlike the peeling and rusty paint in other places, the two iron fences near the edge of the small gate are much more 'new'.

The corners of Qin Ran's mouth curled.

He continued to walk around the Ewood apartment and did not stop, he began to walk around the alley again, and when the time was about to reach fifteen minutes, Qin Ran returned to the door of the apartment.

At this time, Eckerd, who was acting as the temporary host, had already started to speak to the camera.

"Good evening, audience, we are ......"

After telling the script process, the cameraman and the lights immediately pointed at Qin Ran.

Although they were very scared, their professional ethics still let them know what they should do.

Ignoring the lights and cameras, Qin Ran strode towards the door of the apartment.

The gate had long been entwined with rusty chains, and at the end of the chains was a rusty iron lock.

The film crew's field staff immediately ran over with a saw to pick the lock.

"We obtained the entry permit here through formal channels, so don't be ...... to the audience."

Eckerd, who was holding the microphone, explained appropriately, but before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly.

Because, when Qin Ran came to the field service, he raised his hand on the rusty iron lock.

In front of everyone's eyes, the iron lock made a crisp sound—

Click!

And then, it just fell to the ground.

Without the restraint of the iron lock, the rusty iron chain immediately began to slide off, and finally fell to the ground like the iron lock.

Stunned, bang.

In the slightly dull sound of landing, the people around him came back to their senses.

Eckerd, who was a guest host, was not a professional host after all, and at this time, he was completely speechless, so he just held the microphone and looked at Qin Ran's back in a daze.

The lighting and direction are professional.

Without the rhythm of the host, he still followed Qin Ran closely.

They first clearly filmed the scene where Qin Ran's finger was pointed on the iron lock, and the iron lock and iron link fell to the ground, and then they filmed the scene of Qin Ran pushing the door with an expressionless face.

The rusty gate did not open in response.

But......

Straight to the ground.

Bang!

In a sound that was several times louder than before, the iron door slammed heavily on the stone floor, and the dust that had accumulated on the ground splashed up at once.

In the gaffer's light, dust flies in the light, like smoke and fog.

In the photographer's lens, a figure just walked into the smoke.

Crunchy.

The peculiar sound of metal came from under his feet.

He strode forward.

When the sound of footsteps and metal twisting is intertwined, it is not only loud, but also makes the hair stand on end.

There is not a bit of convergence.

There is no disguise at all.

He......

It seems to be announcing his arrival with impunity.
