Chapter 14: Coincidence
Qin Ran's dinner was eaten in Sheriff John's office.
Two hot dogs, a doughnut, three pieces of fried chicken, and a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Although he could only use one hand, and the other hand was cuffed to the chair, this did not prevent Qin Ran from eating extraordinarily sweet.
For Qin Ran, who has a three-year career in fast food, even fast food is food.
"Thank you for the real taste of the food!"
Qin Ran, who poured the last bit of orange juice into his mouth, felt the sweetness and slight sourness of the oranges, and couldn't help but squint his eyes pleasantly.
The only thing that made Qin Ran regret was that these foods did not replenish attributes such as life and physical strength.
All that is there is is a way to eliminate the [Hunger] state.
Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of the canned food and bottled water obtained in the novice dungeon.
"Is it a newbie benefit?"
Qin Ran easily made an association.
Then, instinctively, Qin Ran felt sorry for himself for not bringing out more canned food and bottled water, even though he had already brought out the two most valuable bazookas.
Never underestimate the stinginess of a stingy person.
When Qin Ran put the cup back on the table, the door of the office was pushed open.
Sheriff John walked in with a cigarette in his mouth and threw the key to the handcuffs to Qin Ran.
That couldn't be more obvious.
Qin Ran is fine.
After opening the handcuffs, Qin Ran, who moved his left wrist, asked, "Who is that guy?" It can't be hired by some of my old friends, right? ”
"It's not!"
"Remember the gang of pickpockets you helped us catch when you caught that murderer today?"
Sheriff John asked.
"Don't you tell me that the pickpocket gang has become capable of reckless human life?"
Qin Ran pretended to be surprised.
Although he is not a real detective, Qin Ran also knows that people like thieves and pickpockets, although they stand in the gray area, they will definitely not be able to do murder.
"Of course they don't dare, but the old ones behind them. Dare! ”
"Remember what I told you about 'Jimmy'?"
Sheriff John puffed on his cigarette.
"Of course, isn't he missing?"
"The district you manage has also become chaotic because of his disappearance!"
Qin Ran nodded and said.
"I've never wanted that Jimmy guy to be in front of me like I am now!"
"Jimmy's disappearance has made the position of the boss of the underground forces in this district vacant!"
"The guys who want to make their mark and get to the top of the list are starting to show themselves like crazy!"
With that, Sheriff John irritated and lit another cigarette.
Even with the last cigarette, it took less than two minutes to ignite.
"So, I'm the target of a 'demo'?"
Qin Ran instantly understood.
With Sheriff John's explanation, he has roughly understood the whole process of the matter.
Today at the train station, he incidentally uncovered the old behind the pickpocket gang. Da is fighting for this district, and his actions are naturally seen as a provocation.
It just so happens that this is the old behind the scenes. Big needs more fame.
And what could be more famous than by killing him, the man who had just offended him?
It's so brave and ruthless, and you will be repaid!
This is very undesirable in the eyes of ordinary people.
But in the eyes of these underground forces, it is an advantage.
"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to bring that guy back!"
"I'm going to let him spend the rest of his life in a black prison!"
An angry smile appeared on Sheriff John's gruff countenance.
It makes people feel excited when they see it.
John had already learned about the situation at the scene through the patrol officers, so John, as a police sergeant, knew very well that those guys were not petty this time, but completely rushed to Qin Ran's life.
If it weren't for Qin Ran's good skills, if he saw Qin Ran again at this time, he would probably be the morgue he had been to at noon.
For Qin Ran's friend, Sheriff John still attaches great importance to it - after Qin Ran helped him solve a homicide case at noon, Sheriff John automatically summarized Qin Ran as a friend.
"There's Artili. Hunt's news? ”
With the other party's assurance, Qin Ran didn't plan to ask any more, but asked about the whereabouts of the young lady.
Because, Qin Ran knows very well that the sheriff in front of him is upright and righteous.
He could allow Qin Ran to defend too much.
But Qin Ran was absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to kill.
Especially when this other party is already anxious, if Qin Ran really goes to take that old man behind the scenes. If you kill them, you will definitely stand on the opposite side of the other party.
Altilly was not found. Until Hunter's exact whereabouts, Qin Ran was unwilling to lose this ally.
Otherwise, he would really have to look for a needle in a haystack.
"I've just sent out the men I can!"
"Including the reserves I left behind!"
John said.
The other party's answer made Qin Ran understand that the side quest he had completed, [The Female Corpse of the Police Station], had already had an effect.
However, Qin Ran didn't mind, making the other party's search easier.
"I got some more definite news this afternoon!"
"There's a guy with this young lady!"
And, even more fortunately, this man had a very obvious feature - a scar on his face, starting from the center of his eyebrows and ending at the left corner of his mouth! The joints of the hands are thick, and the back is injured! ”
Qin Ran recounted the clues he had gotten from Gong Lansen.
Then, he saw Sheriff John a little stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Ran asked subconsciously.
"Is this guy you're looking for?"
Sheriff John found a portrait from a pile of materials on his desk.
Although Qin Ran hadn't seen it, looking at the scar that started from the center of his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth on the left, he was more than half sure in his heart.
However, Qin Ran did not say it directly.
Instead, he inquired curiously about the identity of the other party.
"What is this?"
"The 'Black Hand' Jimmy, the land of this district. Under. Old. Big! ”
Sheriff John replied.
And hearing such an answer, Qin Ran was also stunned.
After a while, he rubbed his brow and let out an intermittent . Groan. Recite. Sound.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
"I'm looking for Artilie. Hunter got mixed up with a completely unrelated person like Jimmy, the 'Black Hand'? ”
"That is, before Altiri. The person Hunter saved was the 'black hand' Jimmy! ”
"And Altiri. The reason why Hunter disappeared on a rainy night was definitely because he was worried about the injured guy - the place where he was must have been so shabby, so shabby that there was no roof! ”
"If Hunter knew such a fact, he would probably be sad!"
Qin Ran looked at the portrait in his hand.
Jimmy, known as the 'black hand', is not very old if he puts aside the hideous scars, and his appearance can be said to be a little delicate.
Moreover, the excitement brought by the identity of the other party is very important for Al Ttilly. For a daughter like Hunt, there is an unparalleled attraction.
What's worse is that Al Ttilly. Hunter is not a helpless daughter, with Gong Lansen's training, she is far better than the average person.
And such a strong force makes her even more eager for adventure.
She didn't want to be chained to her father's estate, even if it was for her good.
In the same way, such strength will also become a fatal trigger for her.
Because, the reality is far more cruel than she imagined.
[Main Quest: Find Al Tilly within a month. Hunter or her corpse]
Looking at the word 'corpse' in the main quest, Qin Ran couldn't help but sigh.
The description of the main quest has already indicated that Al Tilly. What Hunt might go through.
"I don't know if Hunter will be sad, I just know that if I can find Jimmy, the mess will be over - I can have enough time to clean up those guys one by one!"
Sheriff John said.
"Well, I can only hope that there aren't too many leaks in the city!"
Qin Ran said with a smile.
"Even if there are more, I will find them one by one!"
Sheriff John turned and left the office as he spoke.
Looking at the back of Sheriff John leaving, Qin Ran shook his head.
It's been almost a full day, Al Tilly. It's unlikely that Hunter and Jimmy the 'Black Hand' will stay where they are.
Sheriff John also knew.
However, the other party will not give up a little hope.
Therefore, Qin Ran was not persuading.
Stretching his waist, Qin Ran stood up from his chair, he picked up the box containing [Viper-M1], and prepared to return to his residence.
He didn't want to spend the night in a chair in his office.
And when Qin Ran walked out of the office, a panicked policeman was hurrying towards here.
"Hey, Carl!"
Qin Ran waved his hand to greet the young policeman.
"Detective Qin Ran, where's the sheriff?"
The young policeman nodded to Qin Ran and hurriedly asked.
"John just left!"
"What happened?"
Qin Ran asked with a little curiosity.
Although Carl in front of him was young, the short contact at noon was enough to let Qin Ran know that the other party was not a person who made a fuss, and now that he was in such a hurry, something must have happened.
"Our men are fighting with Schubck's men, the opponent has a lot of firepower and needs urgent reinforcements!"
The other party did not hide it, and said briefly.
"Schubke?"
Qin Ran didn't have any more impressions of the name.
"It's the guy who just sent out a killer to assassinate you on the street!"
Carl explained.
"Is that him?"
Qin Ran was surprised at first, and then, his eyes narrowed slightly.
