boom!
In the sound of tire rubber rubbing against the ground, Eckerd, who was just about to turn around, threw himself in front of the bridge. In his wide-eyed eyes, the shadow of a white cat flashed away.
A cat is a kind of magical creature, whether you are poor or rich, healthy or sick, happy or sad, it looks down on you.
Of course, most of the time, the appearance of cats will attract people's attention, and even the idea of petting and raising them will arise.
But in this secluded, dark street, the sudden appearance of a cat would not make people have similar thoughts at all, and a strange feeling has already filled everyone's heart.
Aikede got up in embarrassment, loosened his tie, twisted his uncomfortable back, and subconsciously looked at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran was still sitting there, his sitting posture had not changed, and his face was still expressionless.
It's nothing to see such an expression usually, but at this moment, Eckerd was relieved, and he sat back in his seat again.
"How about it?"
Eckerd asked while turning his head to look around, as if he was worried about something unexpected.
Obviously, the deputy director was still a little worried.
"continue."
Qin Ran said lightly.
"drive!"
After hearing Qin Ran's answer, the deputy director finally breathed a sigh of relief. He patted the back of the seat behind him and signaled the driver to continue.
The driver of the car is desperate to say no.
But he had no choice.
When faced with such a choice in this world, those who have the right to say no will always be a minority.
even…
Less than expected.
The car started again.
Qin Ran was sitting in the chair, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Mei Huasheng in the seat next to him, recalling the white cat shadow just now.
Although it was fleeting, it was enough for Kieran to see everything clearly.
It was a cat with white fur, blue eyes, and strong limbs.
Very clean and beautiful.
Someone obviously kept the cat.
According to the activity radius of a normal cat...
Qin Ran raised his head and looked at the building at the end of the alley.
Elwood Condominiums!
"It's more careless than I imagined."
"Sure enough..."
"Is it paralyzed because of too long?"
Qin Ran muttered to himself, and then he closed his eyes.
The unexpected information gave him more confidence.
And now
All he needs to do is wait to reach his destination.
When the nanny car moved forward again, the interview car that had traveled a certain distance also started up again.
The two cars drove towards the destination at a speed close to that of a turtle crawling, as if they hoped that they would never arrive, but even if they were a turtle crawling, facing this small alley that was not infinitely long, there was still a moment to reach the end.
After a period of time, the sky was completely dark.
The Elwood apartment on the third floor stood in such darkness, even if the lighting engineer turned on the searchlight, he could still only see a corner of the entire apartment.
Obviously, the apartment is much bigger than it looks in the photos.
Qin Ran got out of the nanny's car and walked straight to the apartment.
Behind him, the pale lights, cameras, and the temporary guest host Eckerd were about to follow, but Kieran waved his hand.
"I need to check it out on my own."
"It won't be long, about fifteen minutes."
After saying this, Qin Ran walked slowly around the iron fence around the apartment, while Mei Huasheng, who did not say a word the whole time, followed closely behind Qin Ran.
Qin Ran scanned his surroundings.
Mei Huasheng looked at Qin Ran.
Kieran felt that scrutinizing gaze again, but he didn't pay attention to the other person at all, he was looking at other things.
The light of the flashlight shone on the dry garden through the iron fence, and the clear shadows divided the garden into strips.
With the movement of Qin Ran's footsteps, such strips followed the lights.
There are no more flowers in the garden, but only handfuls of weeds.
Such weeds grow extremely densely, and some places even break through the fence and grow outside. Similarly, it is difficult for people standing outside the apartment to see clearly what the apartment looks like without actually getting close.
This is not only the case near the garden, but also the small door at the back of the apartment, and the other side.
Overgrown with weeds is no longer enough to describe such a growing environment, it should be said to be surrounded.
Qin Ran's gaze stayed on the small door for a moment.
Unlike the peeling paint and rust in other places, the two iron fences near the edge of the small gate need to be 'new' a lot.
The corner of Qin Ran's mouth curled up.
After he continued to walk around Elwood's apartment, he didn't stop. He started to walk around the alley again. When the time was about to reach fifteen minutes, Qin Ran returned to the door of the apartment.
At this time, Eckerd, who was acting as the temporary host, had already started talking to the camera.
"Good evening, viewers, we are..."
After explaining the flow of the script, the cameraman and lights pointed at Qin Ran.
Although they were very scared, their professional ethics still let them know what they should do.
Ignoring the lights and cameras, Qin Ran strode towards the door of the apartment.
The gate has long been entwined with rusty iron chains, and at the end of the iron chain is a rusty iron lock.
The scene manager of the film crew was about to run over to unlock the lock with a saw in hand.
"We obtained the entry permit here through official channels, audience friends, don't imitate..."
Eckerd, who was holding the microphone, explained just right, but before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.
Because, when the field manager came running, Qin Ran raised his hand to put a little on the rusty iron lock.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the iron lock made a crisp sound.
Click!
Then, it just fell to the ground.
Without the restraint of the iron lock, the rusty iron chain immediately began to slip, and finally fell to the ground just like the iron lock.
Crash, bang.
Amidst the dull sound of landing, the people around came back to their senses.
Eckerd, who was the guest host, was not a professional host after all. At this moment, he couldn't speak at all, so he just held the microphone and looked at Qin Ran's back in a daze.
The lighting and direction are professional.
Without the host to adjust the rhythm, they still followed Qin Ran closely.
First, they clearly captured the scene of Qin Ran pointing his finger on the iron lock, and the iron lock and chain fell to the ground one after another. Then, they captured the scene of Qin Ran pushing the door expressionlessly.
The rusty door did not open in response.
but...
He fell straight down.
boom!
With a sound that was several times louder than before, the iron door slammed heavily on the stone floor, and the dust that had settled on the ground flew up all at once.
In the light of the lighting engineer, dust is flying in the light, like smoke and fog.
In the photographer's lens, a figure just walked into the smoke.
Crunch, crunch.
The unique sound of metal came from under his feet.
He strode forward.
After the sound of footsteps intertwined with the sound of metal twisting, it is not only loud, but also makes the hair stand on end.
There is no convergence.
Not a bit of pretense.
he…
It seemed that he was announcing his arrival unscrupulously.
