Chapter 23: The Goal of Change
"Mordin is a lady!"
Under Qin Ran's gaze, Emma. Eddie said.
Lady?!
Qin Ran was stunned.
It's not that he has any prejudice against women, it's just that when he mentions sculptors, he already subconsciously thinks of 'Mordin' as a man.
Of course, perhaps it was because he was too shallow to know and remember the famous female sculptors.
But Qin Ran will not deny that Emma. Eddie has a special message for him.
"Can you guarantee that it's not a lie?"
Qin Ran made the final confirmation.
"Of course."
"I swear by my honor and surname that what I say is true – Emma. Add lies, but he doesn't pay for his reputation and surname. ”
Emma. Add said in a rather proud tone.
"Hmm."
"Well, with your previous deal with Freese, you've got a not-too-big promise from him."
"Do you need anything?"
Qin Ran nodded first, and then asked for his servant.
"I need some protection if I can."
"Although I don't want to admit it, I'm now inexplicably a 'sweet spot' in the eyes of a group of guys."
Emma. Add wasn't stupid enough to say the cause and effect of the incident, he just said it vaguely.
In this regard, Qin Ran found some clues, but he did not pursue them.
It's not completely reassuring the other party.
Instead, Qin Ran wished that the other party had a problem.
Because, only in this way, can he know more clearly what the murderer behind the scenes wants to do.
From a few clues he got yesterday, he had a rough idea that the murderer wanted to use Hell's Sigh to get more statues of Mordin.
But there is one point that Qin Ran can't figure out.
What role did he, or more accurately, the dead 'he' play in the other's plan?
No matter how Qin Ran thought about it, he found that 'his' death was completely unnecessary and superfluous in this incident.
Therefore, Qin Ran had to reconsider Emma. The reason Eddie was there.
"Not to find 'my' body?"
"What could it be?"
Qin Ran looked at Emma, who had chosen a guest room under Fries's arrangement. Add, the whole person fell into deep thought.
Until the doorbell interrupted Qin Ran.
Ding dong!
"Open the door!"
After the doorbell rang, there was the sergeant's irritable shout.
"Fries, open the door."
Qin Ran, who was interrupted from thinking, had no intention of getting up, and commanded the 'Frozen One'.
"Yes, sir."
Fries motioned to Emma. Add stopped saying nothing and strode towards the door.
The door, which had three layers of safety, was opened twice, leaving only one chain, and the door was opened a crack from the inside.
Fries looked through the gap at Pudek, who was standing in front of the door, and the few policemen behind him.
"What about 2567?"
Pudeck asked unceremoniously.
"Please be respectful to your lords."
"This is the first time I warn you, and the last time."
"Of course, you too."
Fries said coldly.
The cold tone didn't scare Pudek, but the policemen behind Pudek shrank their necks.
That kind of murderous aura that has been honed over the years is not something that a group of ordinary police officers can resist.
"Open the door!"
"This is also the first time I warn you, and the last time: if you don't open the door again, I will use my way to make you open the door automatically."
Pudek said irritably.
"You can try."
Fries cracked his mouth open, revealing a grin full of murderous intent.
Such a killing intent made the policemen behind Pudek tremble, and Pudek also reached out and touched the handle of the gun on his waist.
"2567, is this the collaboration you told me about?"
"Or are you scared to see me?"
"Are you weak-hearted?"
Pudek raised his voice.
The voice came clearly into Qin Ran's ears.
Qin Ran couldn't help frowning.
In fact, Pudecker was right on one point.
Qin Ran was reluctant to see each other at this time.
Of course, it's not that I'm weak, and I'm not afraid.
But at this moment, if he enters the other party's sight, it will affect his plan.
With the appearance of the [Mordine's Third Statue], some things have already changed unconsciously.
According to what he had read before, Mordin must have carved eight statues in his lifetime, and except for the last one, 'Hell's Sigh', which is clearly recorded, the remaining seven statues are only vaguely recorded, but they are very certain to exist - in the relevant books, every author is so sure, but each author cannot say what the other seven statues are.
If there was no [Mordin's Third Statue] appearing, Qin Ran would only think that this was a legend spread by falsehood, or some kind of clumsy joke.
But with the appearance of Mordin's Third Statue, everything is different.
Maybe it's not that the authors didn't want to record the remaining seven statues, but they couldn't!
As for why?
It could be a curse!
It could also be ......
Artificial!
The statue of 'Mordin', which has some mysterious power, will attract greedy people like a crucian carp crossing the river if it is discovered.
And these people selfishly 'closed' everything about the statue of 'Mordin'.
Don't underestimate selfishness caused by greed.
That's terrible.
It's going to have a destructive power.
He destroys others as well as himself.
It's like the owner of Mordin's Third Statue before.
It's as if someone is now using the news of the 'Hell's Sigh' to lure . Puzzle those who hold the statue of 'Mordin'.
And Qin Ran was also attracted.
Qin Ran will not deny this.
When he saw the attributes of [Mordin's Third Statue] and learned that there were seven similar statues, Qin Ran's interest was completely aroused.
He was eager to know what the remaining statues would do.
For this reason, he thought that he needed to cooperate with the murderer a little bit, so that the other party could more smoothly lead to the other statue holders.
That's why Qin Ran let Fries collect information about 'Mordin' with such fanfare.
It's just that what Qin Ran didn't expect was that Pudek actually came to the door.
Obviously, the other party's news is far better than he imagined.
"Freese, let Sheriff Pudeck in."
Qin Ran commanded.
"Yes, sir."
Fries opened the chain, pulled the door open, bowed and said, "Please." ”
It's the standard of incomparability.
It's like a qualified housekeeper.
None of the people who could enter the room saw this.
Pudek was furious, not observing the mood of the matter.
The rest of the police were terrified.
Without the slightest delay, Pudek walked quickly in front of Qin Ran and showed Qin Ran a document.
"2567, based on reliable leads, I suspect you have something to do with a murder!"
"Now!"
"Please come with me!"
