Chapter 37: The Trap
The screams made Senior's face change.
After he glanced at Qin Ran, the two of them involuntarily quickened their pace and rushed into the café.
At this moment, the café is already in chaos.
Cups tumbled down the thick carpet, coffee spilled everywhere, high-backed chairs seemed to be pushed over in the small corridor, and waiters and guests ran out of the café with panicked faces and panicked cries on their lips.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"I'm Teacher Senior!"
"No one is allowed to leave without my permission!"
Seniore stood at the door of the café and yelled.
Immediately, the panicked crowd fell silent.
At Teorit, the name of the teacher is still very useful, at least in times of panic, it can give people some comfort.
"Who's the store manager?"
Seniore continued to ask, and as soon as a middle-aged man walked out, he said, "Please help me maintain order." ”
Then, Seniore dialed the liaison, and began contacting Professor Thales.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Professor Terres's affirmative answer made Seniore breathe a sigh of relief, and then, when he subconsciously turned his head and wanted to say something to Qin Ran, he found that at some point, Qin Ran had actually walked to the inside of the café and stood in front of the corpse with a dagger in his chest.
"Professor Thales will be there soon."
"What, there's a discovery?"
Seniore said, asking again.
This kind of inquiry was completely subconscious, and he didn't expect Qin Ran to be able to answer.
So, when Qin Ran remained silent, Senior's gaze began to scan the surroundings, and he needed to gather more information before Professor Tersi arrived.
But......
In a chaotic café, there is not a single piece of valuable information at all.
Especially after discovering that the assassinated Delton was still sitting in a dead corner, Seniore couldn't help frowning.
And at this time, Qin Ran suddenly asked.
"Is he Delton?"
"Well, he's Professor Delton."
Seniore nodded without hesitation, the expression on his face sad.
It was the grief of a normal person when he saw the body of the deceased, even if his position was different, but Seniore still showed due respect for the death of a professor.
After receiving Senior's confirmation, Qin Ran was silent again.
He looked at the corpse in front of him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Professor Delton, seated in a chair, was not only neatly dressed, but also had a straight back, and if it weren't for the dagger on his chest, he would have looked like the norm in the etiquette books.
Obviously, this Professor Delton should have been a person who paid great attention to dress and etiquette during his lifetime, and even if his hair was gray, he did not allow any inappropriate manners, and such a person must have certain requirements for the choice of environment.
At the very least, one should not choose a place so close to the trash can.
Qin Ran glanced at the trash can in the corner.
The garbage cans that are about to end the day are already full of garbage, and if you get a little closer, you can smell the pungent odor.
Even an ordinary person's sense of smell would feel uncomfortable at this distance, let alone a professor-level figure.
"To hide people's eyes?"
Qin Ran raised his head and glanced at the surveillance in the store, with puzzlement in his eyes.
Do you need to cover up your meeting with him?
Not needed!
What happened at the Delton lab is almost universal, and there is no need to cover it up, it is completely redundant.
Unless, the other party wants to talk to him about something more secretive.
Even, because of this, the other party caused a fatal disaster.
For example......
"Guan Shilu"!
This was the only thing Qin Ran thought of as a secret between the other party and him.
Qin Ran's gaze shifted slightly.
He looked at the murder weapon, a dagger that had been submerged in the roots.
There is no doubt that this dagger is extremely sharp, but what makes Qin Ran care more is the person who uses this dagger.
Being able to kill a professor-level figure with one blow will definitely not be a simple character.
To be on the safe side, Qin Ran asked again.
"How's Professor Delton's strength?"
"To be called a professor, Teorit itself represents a strong strength, maybe there will be some flaws in personality, but the strength is undoubted."
Seniore replied in the affirmative.
"So, do you have someone in mind?"
Qin Ran asked.
Compared to him, the other party is undoubtedly more familiar with Teorit.
"Nope!"
"There are many powerful people I know, but there are none who can kill Professor Delton with a dagger."
"Maybe Professor Tells knows."
Seniore shook his head.
Qin Ran didn't speak again.
He looked at the corpse in front of him, quietly observing, thinking, he always felt as if he was missing something.
Jingle bells!
The wind chimes rang in front of the café, and Professor Thales walked in with a serious face, followed by uniformed guards.
After Professor Tersi nodded at Qin Ran and Senior, he walked towards the corpse.
Looking at the silent Professor Delton, Tails couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He knew that from this moment on, things would be more than he expected.
With his hands folded, Professor Thales saluted respectfully towards the corpse.
Although the two sides had differences during his lifetime, after his death, Thales will not pursue it again.
The other party is dead, and he is still alive, what's the point of continuing to pursue it?
Not only Professor Thales, but also the guards behind him, including Senior.
About three seconds later, Professor Thales put down his hand, put on his gloves, and was about to examine the corpse carefully, but Qin Ran, who had been thinking, suddenly spoke.
"Wait!"
"Everybody, get out of here!"
"Hurry up!"
Qin Ran's tone was hurried, but the people around him looked at each other, not knowing why.
"2567, ...... occurred"
"Trap!"
"It's a trap!"
Qin Ran pointed at Senior, and then walked out of the café briskly.
Professor Thales was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and his face immediately changed.
"Hurry up!"
"Leave now!"
Professor Thales repeated Qin Ran's words, and suddenly, everyone began to run outside the café, and the moment everyone left the café, Professor Delton's corpse began to erupt with a burning heat beyond ordinary people's imagination, and only two or three seconds later-
Rumble!
The corpse exploded, and the powerful shockwave shattered the entire café for the first time, and then, the aftermath rushed in all directions.
The flames rolled and raged in it.
In the middle of breathing, everything within a 50-meter radius of the café was plunged into a sea of fire.
What happened?
What's going on?
The successive changes made the people in the café completely sluggish, even a few unlucky ghosts who had just fallen to the ground in the shock wave, they didn't know to cry out for pain at this time.
They stared blankly at everything in front of them.
Among them, including Senior.
However, unlike ordinary people, Seniore has already reacted to what is going on.
But knowing what was going on, Senior's face was still pale even in the light of the fire.
He's been taken advantage of!
Professor Delton was also taken advantage of!
The murderer perfectly used Professor Delton's excuse and the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart to create everything in front of him!
In a way, Professor Delton died because of him!
Because, the murderer's fundamental purpose is to use Delton's death to attract Professor Tels!
Think about what he would do when he returned here with 2567 and found Professor Delton's body?
Be sure to contact Professor Thales as soon as possible!
If it weren't for the timely response of 2567......
Looking at the raging sea of fire in front of him, Seniore couldn't help but shudder.
He turned his head to look at Qin Ran, who looked indifferent, and reluctantly showed an ugly smile.
"Thank you, thank you."
With a thank you, Seniore walked up to Professor Tyres, bowed his head like a child who had made a mistake, and said, "I'm sorry, Professor. ”
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
"Just ......"
Professor Terse comforted Senior, but his eyes involuntarily looked at Qin Ran.
Similarly, at this time, Qin Ran also looked at Telsi.
"I think we need to talk."
Professor Thales said.
"Well, I think so too."
Qin Ran nodded.
Without moving far from the fire, the two walked straight to the alley on one side, and Seniore followed closely behind at the signal of Tyres.
"Thank you for the reminder."
"I owe you a favor."
As soon as he entered the alley, after Professor Thales confirmed that the surroundings were safe, he thanked Qin Ran for what had just happened, and then, after a pause, the professor continued to ask, "What do you think of Delton's death?" ”
"Guan Shilu."
Qin Ran replied affirmatively.
Although Delton's death became a trap, Qin Ran did not change his original thoughts.
The death of Professor Delton is still because of "Guan Shilu".
As for Tyrs?
Qin Ran is extremely sure, the other party should also be investigating "Guan Shilu", and even, he has mastered some key things, otherwise, the murderer who killed Delton would not have been able to set up such a big problem.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the murderer hated the other party to the core.
Therefore, Qin Ran asked very dryly.
"Do you have any enemies?"
"Yes, there are quite a few, but none of them can do what they are now."
"He should be here for "Guan Shilu"."
Tyles smiled wryly, and then, choosing a certain degree of confession.
There was no need to continue to conceal it, when Qin Ran asked this question, Tals knew that the freshman chief in front of him should have guessed something.
For the new chief in front of him, Telis has always been impressed.
Whether it was because the other party showed strength that did not look like a freshman at all, or that kind of calm at all times, Tells understood that the other party would definitely become a figure that would be remembered in the history of Theorit, but it was only now that Tells realized that he still underestimated the freshman chief.
The performance of the other party is definitely not just going down in the history of Teorit, but the kind of person who will leave all kinds of legends.
Perhaps, the other party is still very weak.
But as time goes by, the other party will definitely be strong enough to make everyone look sideways.
Therefore, he did not allow any accidents to happen to the other party.
"I don't know how much you know about "Guan Shilu".
"However, I want you to quit right away."
"I will issue you an application to study in Area A temporarily, and when the dust settles here, I will pick you up."
Thales said sincerely.
"Do you think I still have a chance to quit?"
Qin Ran asked rhetorically.
"Going to Zone A, anything is possible."
"Seniors will accompany you, and when you get there, someone will take care of everything for you."
Tells said with a smile, and had already started to arrange for Qin Ran to go to Area A.
In Telsi's opinion, under the premise of life and death, Qin Ran had no need to refuse, so when he saw Qin Ran shaking his head, Tells looked surprised.
"Why?"
"Are you worried about the people behind Davide and Garcia?"
"Don't worry, they ......"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have a reason why I can't leave."
Qin Ran interrupted the other party.
Maybe some accidents happened, but these accidents did not affect Qin Ran's plans, and even in Qin Ran's opinion, they were all beneficial to him!
Because, in these accidents, Qin Ran vaguely saw the true traces of "Guan Shilu".
Under such a premise, how could Qin Ran choose to leave.
Tel looked at Qin Ran in bewilderment, and finally, sighed.
"I don't know why you chose to stay, but be careful."
"If you run into any trouble, please contact me immediately - I will urge the craftsman to speed up the production of your contact, and it will be delivered to your apartment before dawn."
Tells admonished.
"Thank you."
"Is Edberg with you?"
After Qin Ran thanked him, he asked seemingly casually.
Tyles was startled, he looked at Qin Ran in a daze, he didn't know how Qin Ran found out such a secret, but finally chose to nod.
"Yes."
"Did you go to the 'cafeteria' just to confirm your suspicion?"
"Didn't Edberg escape your eyes either?"
Unable to help it, a wry smile appeared on Tels's face again.
"I think you should pay more attention to Edberg."
"You're being targeted, and I don't think he's going to be any better."
After Qin Ran said what he wanted to say, he waved his hand at Tyres, turned around and walked out of the alley.
He didn't ask more about Guan Shilu, because Thales wouldn't say anything at all, even if the other party owed him a favor.
It's like he won't tell the other party the real reason why he went to the 'cafeteria'.
It's a matter of principle.
Looking at Qin Ran's departing back, Professor Tyre took out the communicator without hesitation and began to contact Edberg.
Toot, toot, toot.
In the continuous busy tone, no one answered.
Suddenly, Professor Thales's face became ugly.
