CHAPTER XXIX

The video website that has a direct cooperation with Yucheng TV has begun to broadcast the 'psychic' column that was not broadcast yesterday in a popular and homepage way, and the website with a more intimate relationship does not mind sending out some promotion at this time, of course, there is no shortage of water armies hired by Eckerd in major websites and forums.

Eckerd knows very well that whether he can stay in the position of deputy director depends on whether the 'psychic' column can meet expectations.

It's reached, it's all good to say.

If he can't reach it, he'll be finished.

Therefore, for the promotion of the 'psychic' occlusion column, Eckerd spares no effort.

Not only are all the relationships that can be used used, but some side ways are also starting to be used.

As a consequence of this, the 'psychic' quickly spread and became known to the people.

Naturally, some people believe it, and some people don't.

Those who believe, marvel.

Those who do not believe are despised and ridiculed.

Qin Ran didn't directly understand the process of the show's broadcast.

Or rather, he doesn't need to know at all.

[Absorb energy, reverse harvest activation judgment ......]

[The energy does not meet the standard, and the judgment fails ......]

[Absorb energy, reverse harvest activation judgment ......]

[The energy does not meet the standard, and the judgment fails ......]

……

When the show was broadcast, the text prompts in front of him never stopped, as if it was a waterfall going upstream, constantly brushing up.

And about half an hour later, near the end of the show, the prompt finally changed.

[Absorb energy, reverse harvest activation judgment ......]

[The energy meets the standard, and the judgment is passed......]

[Skill 'Tracking' unblocked! ] 】

……

After that, the system returned to the clue that the verdict was not passed, and it was clear that it was moving on to the next round of energy collection.

"It's going to be [tracking]."

"On what basis is the unblocking skill or ability determined?"

"Is it random?"

After such an idea appeared in Qin Ran's mind, it was immediately denied by Qin Ran.

Since it is a change in the rules, then there must be a law.

The integration of rules is the evolution of rules.

He didn't find the pattern, it couldn't be because there were too few clues.

However, looking at the system prompts that were still popping up one after another, Qin Ran believed that he would find out the pattern sooner or later.

At the same time, he has more expectations for the 'psychic' column in the evening.

And in order to better cope with the evening column, Qin Ran didn't mind learning more about the Ewood apartment.

Makeup artist?

The other party, who is completely frightened, must be unreliable.

An advisor by your side?

As the other party, he can naturally know some things that others don't know, but Qin Ran is also sure that the other party will definitely not tell him.

Who wants to tell a scammer more?

Therefore, Qin Ran had no more choice.

He stood up and walked straight to Eckerd's office.

Mei Huasheng stood up silently and followed.

……

"Need more information about Edwood Apartments?"

"No problem, leave it to me."

"By the way, 2567, what do you want to eat at noon?"

"Do you need me to go to 'Yue' and order a table for you?"

After hearing Qin Ran's question, Eckerd agreed without any hesitation, and asked Qin Ran about his lunch with a pleasant face.

Yue, a very famous restaurant in Yucheng.

It is known for its delicious food and endless stream of diners.

Qin Ran didn't know 'Yue', but with his instinct, he thought it would be a good place.

So, he replied very simply.

"Evening bar, lunch in the forest. Amy went to prepare. ”

"Good!"

"I booked my spot in advance."

"We'll go together when we're done recording the show in the evening."

Eckerd nodded again and again, that kind of flattering look made Mei Huasheng's brows frown.

Eckerd saw Mei Huasheng with a disdainful face, but he didn't care.

After receiving the substantive data fed back from various websites, Eckerd completely regarded Qin Ran as his lifesaver.

If he could, he would worship Qin Ran as a god.

In fact, that's what he did.

Not only did he quickly gather all the information he needed for Qin Ran, but he also began to pray that the evening program would be smooth sailing.

……

Crab roe beef pot, whole braised elbow, winter melon balls.

Makeup artists line up the food on the table.

"There is almost no crab roe, and the beef is soaked in salted water, but it is not fresh to hide it."

"When the elbow was boiled for the first time, in order to save trouble, I put in green onions, ginger and garlic without replacing the blood water."

"Soup...... There is too much MSG. ”

After Qin Ran finished eating it all, he gave an evaluation.

Then, he looked up at the makeup artist.

"I think you're wrong about the definition of a chef!"

Qin Ran said.

"I think you're deliberately picking on a prick on purpose!"

"Do you know that I waited in line for a long time to get it?"

"Are you ignoring the fruits of my labor?"

"What's more, haven't you eaten it all?"

The makeup artist asked loudly.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

"I finish it because I don't want to waste food."

"And, I think in addition to the misunderstanding of the definition of a chef, there is also a misunderstanding of the term "fruits of labor."

Qin Ran said while packing up the fast food box.

The words were very serious, but it was precisely because of such seriousness that the makeup artist wanted to lift the chair in front of him more and more and give Qin Ran a hard look.

He confirmed that Qin Ran was a picky and cautious eye.

Of course, the chef of a roadside restaurant can't be compared with a real celebrity chef, but it shouldn't be as bad as Qin Ran said.

"Watch your eyes!"

The makeup artist ran out with a grunt.

Of course, he was not preparing to escape, but to find evidence to refute Qin Ran.

It's time to see how you pick and choose!

With this in mind, the makeup artist quickly disappeared into the hallway.

After putting all the lunch boxes in his hand into the trash can and confirming that they would not be disturbed, Qin Ran unfolded the information about Ewood Apartment sent by Eckerd.

He would never admit that he did it because he hated being disturbed.

The materials sent by Eckerd were packed in a brown paper bag, with both text records and photos, and put the photos aside, Qin Ran looked at the text records-

In August 1084, when the first owner of the Ewood apartment came to collect the rent, he found a tenant hanged in the apartment. (The time of death was more than three weeks, the temperature was hot, the corpse was extremely decomposed, and it was eaten by rats and insects, but it was judged to be a suicide.) )

In November 1084, the first owner of Edwood's apartment died in an accident, and the apartment was inherited by the other party's nephew, but on the second day of the inheritance, there was a traffic accident on the way to Edwood's apartment. (Although there is no danger to life, the other party thinks that this apartment is unknown, and sold the apartment to the second owner at a low price: He Qiang)

In December 1085 of the new calendar, He Qiang, the second owner of the apartment, had oral sex with the apartment tenant while collecting the rent of the apartment, and was stabbed to death with a dagger by the other party. (Resident Feng De is wanted and his whereabouts are unknown.) )

In March 1086 of the new calendar, the apartment was again auctioned at a low price by He Qiang's wife. (The third master: Yu. Nars. )

In April 1086 of the new calendar, the apartment was renovated. Nals was electrocuted. (As of July 1092, the apartments are vacant and unoccupied.) )

……

After reading all the transcripts page by page, Qin Ran's eyes looked at the stack of photos.

The first photo is the front view of the Edwood Apartment: it should have been taken at noon, not only the three-story apartment is included in the camera, but also the small garden in front of the apartment, especially the 'Edwood Apartments' sign standing in front of the fence door is particularly conspicuous in the sun.

The second one was less rosy, a highly decomposed corpse with blackened flesh and maggots everywhere.

The third photo is a photo of the crash, which is not human-shaped.

The fourth is a middle-aged man in a wheelchair, sad and frightened.

The fifth photo turns into a corpse with a dagger in it.

The sixth photograph is a wanted warrant with the name Von De on it.

The seventh photo shows a charred corpse, which is supposed to be the third owner of the apartment who was electrocuted. Nars.

Except for the first one, every remaining photo can be said to be shocking.

Even, the slightly timid person screams the moment they see it.

If you are bolder, it will also cause discomfort.

And Qin Ran?

He scrutinized each photograph, tapping his fingers on the table from time to time, or flipping through the transcripts.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Ran raised his head this time and leaned back on the sofa again.

Recalling this detailed information about Edwood's apartment in his mind, the corners of Qin Ran's mouth curled.

Coincidence is the most unbelievable thing in the world.

What's more, there are so many coincidences in the same place, and there is only one possibility left......

"You're breaking the law!"

Mei Huasheng's voice sounded.

The former female warrior, who had just returned from the cafeteria, frowned when she saw the materials and photos on the coffee table, especially the latter.

Therefore, Qin Ran refused to cooperate with the other party.

The other party deserves to be respected, but working with the other party is really an ordeal.

"This is what Eckerd gave me."

Qin Ran looked at the other party and said.

"Then you are also an accomplice!"

Mei Huasheng stared at Qin Ran, expecting to put pressure on Qin Ran, but obviously, it didn't work, Qin Ran put things away in an orderly manner, and after putting them in the cowhide bag, he looked at the other party again.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for your warrant."

"Remember, close the door."

"I hope no one bothers me during my lunch break in the afternoon!"

Qin Ran said clearly.

Then, without waiting for Mei Huasheng to say anything, he just lay on the sofa and covered his head with his coat.

The level of [Tracking] was unsealed, and returning to the transcendent level was naturally a good thing for Qin Ran, who was used to the state of mastering all traces.

But the problem of physical strength, Qin Ran did not forget.

The unparalleled level of [Tracking] support is exhausted in an instant, so what about the transcendental-level [Tracking]?

I'm afraid it will be directly overdrawn, right?

Maybe I should bring more high-calorie food and exercise drinks to replenish my energy.

Qin Ran thought silently.

Whew, whew.

Listening to the long breathing coming from under her clothes, Mei Huasheng stared at her eyes and clenched her fists.

If his eyes could kill, Qin Ran would definitely be crushed at this time.

After staring at it for three seconds, Mei Huasheng picked up the cowhide bag on the table, turned around and strode away.

Bang!

The door slammed shut.

Qin Ran, who seemed to be asleep, immediately jumped up.

He went through the previous sleeping process again, and after making sure that there was a glimmer of life in case of any accidents, he lay back on the sofa, really closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Sunset.

Qin Ran, who had slept for an afternoon, sat in a senior nanny car with high spirits, followed by another interview car.

This nanny car was called directly by Eckerd.

The ride is very smooth, and the seats inside are even more comfortable, and leaning in them is like sitting on a real sofa.

At this moment, Eckerd was faintly excited and expectant to sit opposite Qin Ran.

"This is a script."

"2567, you don't need to memorize it, you just need to have a rough idea, and then, you need your on-the-spot reaction on the stage yesterday."

Eckerd handed a notebook to Qin and then told Qin Ran.

And Mei Huasheng, who had a straight face, seemed to be completely isolated in another space, not only did Qin Ran choose to ignore her, but Eckerd didn't say a word to her.

In fact, in the afternoon, Eckerd and the other party had a big fight.

Although it eventually subsided, the relationship between the two sides fell to a freezing point.

Eckerd had already bluntly told Qin Ran that he would change someone else to become the consultant of the 'Psychic' column.

Qin Ran had no objection to this.

The two cars continued on their way.

Soon, after passing through the most prosperous part of the city, I turned into a quiet alley.

The noise disappeared all at once.

All that's left is the sound of the engine.

The two strong contrasts make people nervous unconsciously.

Especially the two drivers who drove the car.

As natives of Rain City, the two of them knew all about the rumors of Ewood's apartment.

If it weren't for work, the two would never have gotten any closer.

In fact, even because of work, the two of them regretted it a little after entering this secluded, uninhabited alley.

Even if it wasn't really dark, the two couldn't wait to turn on the headlights.

The lights of the car were like two straight lightsabers interspersed through the alley.

The asphalt road and the trees on both sides of the road are imprinted into the eyes of the two drivers through the car windows, and the remaining sky light and bright lights reflect each other, and the trees make people shrink their necks like palms with teeth and claws.

Even more frightening is the shadow at the end of the road.

The two drivers looked at the building that almost melted into the shadows, as if they saw a beast crawling in the dark, and unconsciously the two of them had itchy throats, swallowed their saliva dryly, and the palms of their hands holding the steering wheel were full of sweat at some point.

Infected by the silence, Eckerd subconsciously stopped talking to Qin Ran, and he turned around to look outside through the windshield of the vehicle.

But just as Eckerd turned—

Meow!

A terrible cat meow suddenly sounded.
