Chapter 57: Misleading

"What are you talking about, Teresa?"

Qin Ran looked confused and looked at the female sheriff with a puzzled expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

There was no pause in the whole process, and there was no surprise at all.

As early as when he found out that Donna was bored, Qin Ran guessed that the other party would definitely cause him some trouble, whether it was out of revenge or to delay him afterwards, the other party would do so.

And who better to do it than Teresa?

First of all, Teresa is not a mysterious person and will not cause real trouble to the other party.

Secondly, Teresa has the status of a sheriff, which is enough to mobilize the power of ordinary people, which makes him anxious.

Last, but not least, Teresa had a close relationship with him.

Regardless of whether this intimate relationship is true or not, in the eyes of the other party, he must have his own plans for doing so, and the other party wants to sabotage his plans.

Therefore, for the scene in front of him, Qin Ran had already expected it.

Especially, when he had a certain understanding of Teresha.

The sheriff is not only hot-tempered, but also deeply understands the importance of 'raids', and is a person who is both righteous and experienced, and knows how to 'harvest' herself.

Qin Ran knows the female sheriff.

The female sheriff also knows Qin Ran.

At least, that's what the sheriff thinks.

She looked at Qin Ran's confusion as if she was not faking, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Someone left me a message saying you're the new owner of Winchester House!"

The sheriff said.

"Someone left you a message?"

"Who is it?"

Qin Ran showed a hint of surprise and solemnity.

"How?"

The female sheriff, who looked at Qin Ran's expression, asked subconsciously.

"In the past few days of tracking down the Winchester House bombing, I've been thinking about one question – why should I go to Winchester House?"

"With the habits I've shown these days and the value you've investigated, it's impossible to go to that kind of cheap family hotel."

"Moreover, my observation, skills, and gunnery are definitely not comparable to ordinary people."

Qin Ran replied, the answer that had been prepared a long time ago.

"You mean ......"

The sheriff's brow was completely furrowed.

There was some kind of speculation in her mind.

"I must have noticed something was wrong to go there! And more likely...... I was led there! ā€

Qin Ran said.

"Someone wants to murder you?!"

The sheriff voiced her guess.

"It can't be a simple murder, five people died in the Winchester House, and we already know the identities of four of them – mayoral candidate Simed. Okun, the big man's chauffeur and bodyguard Tonita, college professor Haroldt, and Rudel, the henchman of 'Jackal' Pani, ...... Who will be the last corpse? ā€

"Or, to put it another way, the other four dead people all went there with their own purposes, and that 'Anonymous' is no exception, let's call him that for the time being!"

"Going back to my previous assumption, I was led to Winchester House, and according to the trajectory of my life, it is unlikely that I will have an intersection with the other four, so the existence of 'Anonymous' is to attract me to the past! Even the existence of 'Anonymous' will have a bad effect on me, because only then will that mysterious guy think that he is sure that he can kill me! ā€

"From this aspect, 'Anonymous' should be a very important talent for me...... Although, I forgot about him now. ā€

Speaking of this, Qin Ran smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry."

The female sheriff had a short temper, but she was not unkind, and after hearing Qin Ran's analysis, a trace of apology appeared on the female sheriff's face.

However, it soon became serious.

"In order to kill you alone, not only did you plan in advance, but also killed everyone present, including the person who was extremely important to you...... The other person seems to be very confident that they can kill you, but will it be too much of a struggle to do so? It should be more appropriate to choose an unmanned suburb and an abandoned factory, you know, there is a Simide in it. A big shot like Okun! ā€

The sheriff muttered softly.

"That's why I said it wasn't a simple murder!"

"Showing off aside, any perpetrator wants the case to be over as soon as possible, but this mysterious guy does the opposite, but doesn't show any show off, which is absolutely unreasonable, so there is only one possibility left: that guy wants some people to know about the murder!"

"Killing me is that guy's means to achieve this goal!"

"But I'm not dead now, there's a flaw in that guy's ring, and he needs to fix it - can you tell me who that guy is?"

Qin Ran didn't blindly say the assumption of 'fake death and get out'.

In fact, as a 'designed person', it is enough to be able to draw the above conclusions.

Any more, it will only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

People are always suspicious.

But he is also conceited.

They believe the gossip of others, but they don't believe the real facts, they only selectively believe the parts they want to believe.

And what Qin Ran needs is to lead out more gossip and confuse the original 'facts'!

According to the information he had learned, Qin Ran was quite sure that the 'Anonymous Clan' should have some great similarities with 'him' as the 'Arbiter'.

Or even ...... Conclusive evidence!

For example: the heart that was replaced!

Only in this way can we get rid of the pursuit of the 'law enforcers' of the organization.

'He' is dead, and he's gone.

If the real him did not appear, such a plan would naturally be quite certain to succeed, and as the 'arbiter', he could not have any interest in the heart that clamped down on 'him'.

But he showed up.

He's different!

He cared deeply about the replaced heart.

It's just that he can't act rashly, unless he wants to completely expose himself to the eyes of those 'law enforcers'.

Qin Ran had never doubted the ability of those 'law enforcers'.

Although as an 'arbiter', in order to get out smoothly, he will inevitably leave all kinds of confusing clues, so that the 'law enforcers' who track down 'him' will find 'Anonymous' and treat 'Anonymous' as 'him', but this is not a simple process.

Those 'law enforcers' will be careful to verify this.

Among them, those who approached the 'Anonymous' for no reason were naturally the top priority of the investigation.

Therefore, Qin Ran needed an excuse.

And in order to make this excuse high-sounding, it is not afraid of the excuse that people ask for verification.

Qin Ran had to lie to the female sheriff and deliberately mislead the other party's investigation.

Looking at the female sheriff in thought, Qin Ran silently said sorry in his heart.

"Donna!"

"I found out that the message was from Donna's Bar, and when I wanted to go to Donna's Bar, Donna's Bar exploded...... All that came to my mind was the word killing, and then, I got carried away! So, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted someone who helped me like that. ā€

The sheriff apologized again.

"It's okay, that guy is too cunning!"

The female sheriff apologized again, which made Qin Ran suddenly feel a sense of guilt.

However, thinking of the fate of his failure in the main quest, Qin Ran forcibly suppressed this sense of guilt, and said with hesitation.

"Teresa, can I see the 'Anonymous'?"

"I don't remember him, but I think I should say goodbye to him."

Looking at Qin Ran with a hesitant face, the female sheriff thought for a while.

Eventually, nodded.

"Okay."
