The scream made Senior's face change.
After he glanced at Qin Ran, the two involuntarily quickened their pace and rushed into the cafe.
The cafe is already in chaos at the moment.
The cups rolled down on the thick carpet, the coffee was spilled everywhere, the high-backed chairs seemed to be pushed down, and they lay horizontally in the narrow corridor, while the waiters and guests looked panic-stricken, with mouths in their mouths. Shouting in fear, they ran out of the cafe one after another.
"Stop!"
"Everyone stop!"
"I'm Teacher Senior!"
"No one is allowed to leave without my permission!"
Senior stood at the door of the cafe and shouted loudly.
Immediately, the panicked crowd fell silent.
In Theoret, the name of a teacher is still very useful, at least it can give people some comfort when they are panicking.
"Who is the store manager?"
Senior continued to ask, and when a middle-aged man came out, he immediately said, "Please help me maintain order."
Then, Senior dialed the communicator and began to contact Professor Thales.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Professor Taylor's affirmative answer made Senior heaved a sigh of relief. Then, when he subconsciously turned his head and wanted to say something to Qin Ran, he realized that at some point, Qin Ran had already walked into the cafe. , standing in front of the corpse with a dagger stuck in its chest.
"Professor Thales will be here soon."
"What, did you find anything?"
Senior said, and asked another question.
Such inquiries were completely subconscious, and he did not expect Kieran to be able to answer them.
So, when Kieran remained silent, Senior began to scan his surroundings. He needed to collect more information before Professor Taylor arrived.
but…
In the chaotic cafe, there is no valuable information at all.
Especially after discovering that the assassinated Delton was still sitting in a corner, Senior couldn't help frowning.
At this time, Qin Ran suddenly asked.
"Is he Delton?"
"Well, he is Professor Delton."
Senior nodded without hesitation, with a sad expression on his face.
It was the sadness of a normal person when he saw the dead body. Even though the position was different, Senior still showed due respect for the passing of a professor.
After getting Senior's confirmation, Kieran fell silent again.
He looked at the corpse in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Professor Delton, who was sitting in the chair, was not only neatly dressed, but also had a straight back. If it weren't for the dagger on his chest, the other party would look the same as the normative demonstration in the etiquette book.
Obviously, this Professor Delton should have been a person who paid great attention to dress and etiquette during his lifetime. Even if his hair was already gray, he would not allow any inappropriate demeanor, and such a person's choice of environment must be There are certain requirements.
At least, you should not choose a place so close to the trash can.
Kieran glanced at the trash can in the corner.
The trash can that is about to end the day's business is already full of garbage, and as long as the distance is a little closer, you can smell the pungent smell.
Even the sense of smell of an ordinary person would feel uncomfortable at this distance, let alone a professor-level figure.
"Is it to cover up people's eyes and ears?"
Qin Ran raised his head and glanced at the surveillance cameras in the store, his eyes filled with puzzlement.
Do I need to cover up to meet him
Not required!
What happened in Delton's laboratory is almost known, there is no need to conceal it, it is completely superfluous.
Unless, the other party wants to tell him something more secretive.
Even, because of this, the other party got killed.
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 eyes shifted slightly.
He looked at the murder weapon, a dagger with no root in it.
There is no doubt that this dagger is extremely sharp, but what Kieran cares more about is the person who uses this dagger.
Being able to kill a professor-level character in one blow is definitely not a simple character.
To be on the safe side, Kieran asked again.
"How is Professor Delton's strength?"
"Being able to be called a professor represents extremely strong strength in Theoret itself. There may be some flaws in character, but the strength is beyond doubt."
Senior replied in the affirmative.
"So, is there anyone in your mind?"
Qin Ran asked.
Compared with him, the other party is undoubtedly more familiar with Theoret.
"No!"
"Among the people I know, there are many powerful ones, but none who can kill Professor Delton with a single blow."
"Maybe Professor Thales knows."
Senior shook his head.
Qin Ran didn't speak again.
He looked at the corpse in front of him, observing and thinking quietly, he always felt that he seemed to have missed something.
jingle!
The wind chimes in front of the cafe rang, and Professor Tai Ersi walked in with a serious expression, behind him were guards in uniform.
After Professor Tai Er Si nodded to Qin Ran and Senior, he walked towards the corpse.
Looking at the silent Professor Delton, Thales couldn't help but sigh secretly.
He knew that from this moment on, things would go beyond his expectations.
Putting his hands together, Professor Thales saluted the corpse respectfully.
Although there were differences between the two parties during his lifetime, after his death, Thales would not pursue it any further.
The other party is dead, but 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 Taiers put down his hand, put on his gloves, and was about to examine the corpse carefully, when Kieran, who had been thinking all the time, suddenly made a sound.
"etc!"
"Everyone leave immediately!"
"hurry up!"
Qin Ran's tone was hurried, but the people around him looked at each other, not knowing why.
"2567, happened..."
"trap!"
"This is a trap!"
Qin Ran pointed to Senior, and was the first to walk out of the cafe.
Professor Thales was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, and his expression changed immediately.
"hurry up!"
"Leave immediately!"
Professor Thales repeated Qin Ran's words, and immediately, everyone started running out of the cafe, and the moment everyone left the cafe, Professor Delton's body began to erupt with scorching heat beyond ordinary people's imagination. after only two or three seconds
boom!
The body exploded, and the powerful shock wave shattered the entire cafe at once, and then the aftermath rushed in all directions.
The flames rolled and raged in it.
In the breath, everything within a 50-meter radius of the cafe was engulfed in a sea of flames.
what happened
How is this going
The successive changes made the people in the cafe completely stupefied. Even a few unlucky ghosts who had just fallen to the ground under the shock wave didn't know how to cry out for pain at this moment.
They stared blankly at everything in front of them.
Among them, Senior is included.
However, unlike ordinary people, Senior has already realized what is going on.
But just because he knew what was going on, Senior's face was still pale even under the light of the fire.
He is being used!
Professor Delton is being used too!
The murderer made perfect use of Professor Delton's excuse and the dissatisfaction in his heart to create everything in front of him!
Even in a way, Professor Delton died because of him!
Because, the murderer's fundamental purpose was to use Delton's death to attract Professor Thales!
Think about it, what would he do when he returned here with 2567 and found Professor Delton's body
I will definitely contact Professor Thales as soon as possible!
If it wasn't for 2567's timely response...
Seeing the sea of flames burning in front of him, Senior couldn't help but shudder.
He turned his head to look at Qin Ran who was calm, and forced an ugly smile.
"Thank you, thank you."
Following the sound of thanks, Senior walked up to Professor Thales, lowered his head like a child who made a mistake, and said, "Sorry, Professor."
"It's okay, it's not your fault."
"only… "
Professor Thales comforted Senior, but looked at Qin Ran involuntarily.
Similarly, at this time, Kieran also looked at Taiers.
"I think we need to talk."
Professor Thales said so.
"Well, I think so too."
Qin Ran nodded.
Without moving away from the fire, the two went straight to the alley on one side, while Senior followed closely behind under the signal of Taiers.
"Thank you for the reminder just now."
"Consider that I owe you a favor."
As soon as he entered the alley, after confirming that the surroundings were safe, Professor Thales thanked Qin Ran for what had just happened, and then, after a pause, the professor continued to ask: "Delton's death, what do you think? "
""Guan Shilu"."
Qin Ran replied affirmatively.
Although Delton's death became a trap, Kieran did not change his original thought.
The death of that Professor Delton is still because of "Guan Shilu".
As for Thales
Qin Ran has great confidence that the other party should also be investigating "Guan Shilu", and even grasped some key things. Otherwise, the murderer who killed Delton could not have set up such a complicated scheme. .
Of course, the possibility that the murderer hated the other party was not ruled out.
So, Qin Ran asked straightforwardly.
"Do you have any enemies?"
"Yes, there are quite a few, but none of them can reach the level in front of us."
"He should have come for "Guan Shilu"."
Taylor smiled wryly, and then chose to confess to a certain extent.
There was no need to continue to hide it. When Qin Ran asked this question, Taiers knew that the freshman chief in front of him should have guessed something.
Taiers has always been impressed by the freshman chief in front of him.
Whether it was because the other party showed a strength that did not look like a freshman at all, or the state of keeping calm at all times, Taiers understood that the other party would definitely become a figure engraved in the history of Theoret, but until now It wasn't until now that Taiers realized that he still underestimated the freshman chief.
The other party's performance is definitely not just recorded in Theoret's history, but the kind of character who will leave all kinds of legends.
Perhaps, the opponent 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.
"As for "Guan Shilu", I don't know how much you know."
"However, I want you to quit immediately."
"I will issue you an application form and temporarily go to Area A for further study. When the dust settles here, I will pick you up."
Thales said sincerely.
"Do you think it's possible for me to quit?"
Qin Ran asked back.
"Going to Area A, everything is possible."
"Senior will go with you, and when you get there, someone will take care of everything for you."
Taylor said with a smile, and has already started to arrange for Qin Ran to go to Area A.
In Taier Si's view, under the premise of life and death, there is no need for Qin Ran to refuse, so when Qin Ran shook his head, Tai Er Si was surprised.
"Why?"
"Are you worried about the people behind David and Garcia?"
"Don't worry, they..."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have reasons why I cannot leave."
Qin Ran interrupted him.
There may have been some accidents, but these accidents did not affect Qin Ran's plan, and even in Qin Ran's view, they were beneficial to him!
Because, in these accidents, Qin Ran vaguely saw the real trace of "Guan Shilu".
Under such a premise, how could Qin Ran choose to leave.
Tai'er Si looked at Qin Ran puzzled, and finally sighed.
"I don't know why you chose to stay, but please be careful."
"If you encounter any trouble, please contact me immediately. I will urge the craftsman to speed up the production of your communicator, and it will be delivered to your apartment before dawn."
Thales exhorted.
"Thanks."
"Is Edberg with you?"
After Qin Ran thanked him, he asked a seemingly casual question.
Thales was startled, he looked at Qin Ran blankly, he didn't know how Qin Ran discovered such a secret, but he finally chose to nod.
"yes."
"Did you go to the 'canteen' just to confirm your guess?"
"Didn't Edberg escape your attention?"
Unable to bear it, a wry smile appeared on Taiers' 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 to Tai Ersi, turned around and walked out of the alley.
He didn't ask more about "Guan Shilu", because Taiers would never say anything, even if the other party owed him a favor.
Just like him, he will not tell the other party the real reason why he went to the 'canteen'.
A matter of principle.
Looking at Qin Ran's leaving back, Professor Tai Ersi took out the communicator without hesitation and began to contact Edberg.
Beep, beep, beep.
In the continuous busy tone, no one answered.
Immediately, Professor Thales' expression became ugly.
