The ear-piercing scream woke up Mimosa who had just fallen asleep.
Mimosa sat up with her arms supporting her body, and looked at Qin Ran who was sitting in the chair and put down the book.
"follow me."
Qin Ran said so.
After discovering the anomaly of the dead in this dungeon world, the prudent Kieran tried his best to keep the mimosa in his field of vision and ensure the safety of the mimosa.
After all, Kieran couldn't be sure whether the wise dead here also had some inherent characteristics of the past.
Example: Fear of the sun.
Mimosa, who put on her coat, followed Qin Ran downstairs.
When Qin Ran opened the restaurant door, he could already see a group of people gathered under the streetlight not far away.
The street lamps were extinguished with the rising of the sun, and a burly man was strangled and hung there by his neck, his face was reddish purple, his tongue was sticking out, and he was swaying slightly with the morning wind.
"John Deason!"
When Mimosa saw the face of the hanged man clearly, she immediately let out a low exclamation.
There are both accidents and more shocks.
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
He stood by the side of the street lamp and looked at the corpse carefully.
Fully clothed.
No trauma.
The handcuffs were still on one of the hands.
Subconsciously, Kieran thought of the first customer last night.
"Not just thank you."
"Will..."
"Revenge?"
Qin Ran thought silently in his heart.
If it wasn't for someone's tricks, then... There is a good chance that he will be in trouble.
The piercing sirens sounded from far to near.
The crowd dispersed immediately.
The short, curly brown-haired sheriff walked directly under the corpse with a gloomy face.
After watching for four or five minutes, the sergeant ordered the police officers to put the body down.
The forensic doctor at the side immediately came over and began to examine it carefully.
"The body is intact, there is no external injury, and it is preliminarily determined that the death was caused by mechanical asphyxia..."
"I know this!"
"What I want to know is what I don't know!"
"For example: Are there any fingerprints on the street lamps, or traces of ladders being crushed?"
Teddy, whose eyes were bloodshot, interrupted the forensic doctor and said in a low voice.
"Leave it to me, Sheriff!"
The forensic doctor who heard some rumors nodded lightly, lowered his head and continued to work.
Looking at the busy forensic doctor, Sheriff Teddy took a deep breath and wanted to spit it out, but it was stuck in the chest cavity, and he couldn't spit it out no matter how hard he tried.
Stuffy!
uncomfortable!
In the 10 years since he joined the police force, Teddy has encountered many criminals who are vicious, cunning, or both. There is no doubt that John Deason is your kind of both.
However, no matter how much John Deason quibbles, before the hard evidence, the only thing waiting for this bastard is the electric chair.
Therefore, facing John Deason, who refused to admit it, Teddy was not angry at all. He just explained clearly what would happen to this bastard one by one.
Then, the serial killer had a flash of fear in his eyes.
That's what Sheriff Teddy wants to see.
But just as the sheriff was about to pursue the victory, the interrogation room lost power.
Not only the interrogation room, but the entire floor was plunged into darkness.
Immediately, Sheriff Teddy drew his gun and pointed it at John Deason.
No one wants to die.
Especially this kind of murderer, he cherishes his life even more.
So, Sheriff Teddy knows how to deal with each other.
But what happened next was beyond Sheriff Teddy's expectation.
John Deason is missing!
When the lights in the interrogation room came on again, John Deason was missing!
In just three seconds, John Deason, who was handcuffed to the chair, disappeared without a trace with the handcuffs on.
At that time, the entire police station was boiling.
All started searching, but found nothing.
But no one believed that a handcuffed and restrained suspect could escape from the police station, especially at that time there was a sheriff sitting opposite the suspect, and there were two recorders in the secret observation room next door. It is assumed that there are two police officers with live ammunition outside the interrogation room.
However, people just disappeared.
All those involved in the interrogation were scolded by the director.
As the sheriff, Teddy was naturally taken care of.
And just after Teddy made a promise to capture John Deason within three days, John Deason found him in less than two hours.
But it became a corpse.
Just like that, it was hung on the street lamp.
Damn it!
Sheriff Teddy, who cursed from the bottom of his heart, walked out of the crowd.
The site was severely damaged, but some things were still there.
His eyes scanned the crowd.
Then, he saw Qin Ran and Mimosa standing there.
"Luo Yan, Luo Ye brothers..."
Looking at the pair of second-generation immigrant brothers, Teddy pondered for a moment, then walked over.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Sheriff Teddy asked half-truly.
"Open from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 the next day."
Qin Ran said lightly.
"That's a pity."
"What do you think?"
Sheriff Teddy pointed to the hanging body.
"You deserve it."
Qin Ran said objectively.
"Although I agree with your statement, it will be very bad for you to say this before a murder... Are you used to corpses?"
Sheriff Teddy said with a smile, after unconsciously elongating his tone, he suddenly changed the subject.
It is an interrogation technique that Qin Ran is very familiar with.
Naturally, it's easy to deal with.
"There are many corpse parts in the back kitchen, do you need to take a look?"
Qin Ran pointed to the restaurant behind him.
"Believe me, if you say that, no one will come to your restaurant."
Sheriff Teddy had a disgusted look on his face.
"Therefore, when facing food, one must be grateful."
Qin Ran said seriously.
"Okay, thank you for your guidance when I was eating, if there is anything, remember to tell me, I left you a business card before."
Sheriff Teddy is about to end this conversation.
"Um."
"My previous bounty for catching this guy, and my stolen wallet..."
"After finishing the process, I will bring it to you."
Sheriff Teddy, who was about to end the conversation, turned around and left after hearing what Qin Ran said.
The stolen wallet will never return with the death of John Deason.
As for the reward
According to the process, it will be issued truthfully.
However, because of John Deason's accidental death, it will also be delayed a lot of time according to the procedure.
At that time, it was difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Looking at Sheriff Teddy's back, Kieran didn't look back, and walked towards the large supermarket on the other side of the street with the mimosa.
He needs to prepare something.
Night, as promised.
The blackboard was placed outside the door on time at eleven o'clock in the evening.
Leaf Restaurant.
Today's food: roast rabbit, fried rice, chicken soup.
(No alcohol served, drunk guests not welcome)
…
Although it is written in chalk, the handwriting is still beautiful. This is written by Mimosa.
The text supplements in brackets were also added by Mimosa.
He also doesn't like drunk people.
Especially those women who got entangled with Qin Ran when they were drunk, they should all be kicked out.
However, beyond Mimosa's expectation, the drunk woman appeared again yesterday.
Almost when the blackboard was hanging out, the woman walked in.
No alcohol.
Exquisite makeup, well-dressed, carrying a lady's satchel, and a light perfume on the body, as soon as you walk in, you can smell the mimosa.
However, Mimosa didn't say anything.
He manages the kitchen.
Qin Ran will handle the front.
This is what the two had agreed on long ago.
Mimosa believes that Qin Ran will handle it properly.
Actually, yes—
"You profiteer!"
As soon as she entered the door, Amy gritted her teeth and said.
"Roasted rabbit 1000, fried rice 150, chicken soup 100, the price is clearly marked, no one will deceive you."
Qin Ran said lightly.
"You said yesterday that the chicken soup costs 10 yuan."
Amy emphasized.
"It was you who proposed 100, I think you are right, so, if you come to my place, all my food will increase in price by ten times, in order to complement your beauty."
Qin Ran said words that made Amy regret, embarrass and embarrass herself after sobering up.
Anyone who sobers up regrets what he did while drunk.
Emmy is no exception.
Even, Emmy paid a painful price.
Spend ten times the price and drink a bowl of chicken soup that forgets the taste.
So here she is again.
She wants to get back the remaining 90 yuan.
The money she worked so hard to earn cannot just be wasted like this.
"Do you know that you are cheating!"
"If you do this, I can sue you!"
Amy tried her best to make her aura more fierce, hoping to frighten Qin Ran.
Without saying a word, Qin Ran pointed to the surveillance camera in the corner of the restaurant.
The money that goes into his pocket is his.
Want to take it out of his pocket again
Don't think about it!
"Although it is a bit old, it is well maintained and the recording is clear. I think the judge and jury will be interested in your words and deeds."
Qin Ran said in a calm tone.
In fact, that surveillance system has been broken for a long time, and Qin Ran doesn't know how to fix it, nor does he plan to fix it.
"you!"
Amy, who didn't know it, stomped her feet, turned around and left angrily.
In the kitchen, Mimosa smiled.
He brought out the roasted rabbit specially prepared for Qin Ran.
"I added some lemon juice."
Mimosa held the plate and said.
Qin Ran took the plate with a smile, and at this moment, Amy who had just left ran back again.
Looking at the rabbit on Qin Ran's plate, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said almost subconsciously: "The rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them...it tastes better with chili peppers!"
The scent that got into her nose made Amy salivate uncontrollably.
The sweet and sour smell of barbecue made Amy temporarily forget her unwillingness to return.
She stared blankly at the plate of roasted rabbit and swallowed her saliva, but neither Qin Ran nor Mimosa had any intention of paying attention to the other party.
"Do you do business like this?"
"You do business like this, sooner or later there will be..."
Before Amy could finish the word 'closed', the street light at the door flickered again.
Last night's first guest walks in.
"A bowl of chicken soup."
A dry, hoarse voice sounded.
Qin Ran handed the chicken soup to the other party.
The other party sipped the chicken soup.
Qin Ran ate the roasted rabbit with big mouthfuls.
Mimosa looked at Qin Ran with a smile on her face.
Amy stood there, always feeling that she was an outsider, and she was completely ignored.
Amy, who was used to being the center of everyone's attention, became more and more angry.
She stared at Qin Ran.
But that's all she can do.
Because, a few minutes later, when she saw that Qin Ran had eaten all the roasted rabbit on the plate, without even a single bone, Amy immediately lost her temper.
She shrugged her shoulders and sat there.
"I know I'm wrong."
"I shouldn't drink, I shouldn't come here to make trouble."
"But I don't know where to go."
"I lost my boyfriend, I lost my job, I lost a good friend, and now I have nothing...but I still can't forget him."
As she spoke, Amy began to sob.
Then…
A hand holding chicken soup appeared in front of her.
"There is nothing you can't forget, and time is the best medicine."
"One day you will forget his appearance, voice, and what he said. Maybe, you can't do it now, but you can definitely do it in the future."
"Because it's easy to forget."
"Don't think about it, don't rush, just forget it, just like the sky after the fireworks."
"Nothing."
"But food is different. If it is said that love begins and ends on the dining table, then only the food you eat will stay with you forever, become a part of your body, and become one with you."
Qin Ran said slowly.
Amy raised her head stupidly, she had already forgotten about acting.
"Need it to warm your stomach and cheer your soul?"
Qin Ran asked.
Amy nodded instinctively.
But as soon as he nodded, he reacted suddenly.
But it was too late.
Qin Ran put down the chicken soup with his hand.
"Thanks for your patronage, 100."
Qin Ran said with a smile.
"You are blackmailing!"
Amy's eyes widened again, and Kieran pointed to the monitor that was just a display.
"The profiteer!"
Amy put it another way.
"Drink the chicken soup while it's hot."
"It's not good if it's cold."
Qin Ran walked towards the outside of the stage while talking.
Still holding something in hand.
Moreover, not only the profiteer boss, but also the customer just now disappeared.
Suddenly, the restaurant was deserted.
Amy felt she was left out again.
"What kind of service attitude!"
"I will definitely not come again... It smells so good!"
As Amy spoke, she picked up the chicken soup, and after taking a sip, Amy's face showed surprise, and she almost finished drinking the chicken soup with a tilt of her neck.
"Give me another bowl!"
Amy called to the kitchen.
"100."
Mimosa came out and said.
"You... profiteer!"
Amy gritted her teeth and said.
But at the next moment, he took out two banknotes and put them on the bar.
Chicken soup came out again.
Delicious as always.
Amy looked at the mimosa while drinking, and moved her eyes: "What's your relationship with the boss just now? Are you an apprentice?"
"brother."
Knowing what Qin Ran left for, Mimosa answered absent-mindedly.
"brother?"
"Not at all."
"He is cold, you look very delicate and cute."
"Your finances are controlled by that brother of yours, right?"
"Do you want to get rid of the control of your fierce brother and earn a salary of your own?"
Amy showed a smile that she thought was sweet.
"Do you work?"
"OK."
Mimosa nodded.
Mimosa really wants to generate income, not perfunctory.
Amy smiled even brighter.
"Come and make me soup!"
"That's it, I'll give you 50 per hour!"
Amy thought she had given a high price, but Mimosa shook her head seriously: "1000 per hour."
Amy was taken aback.
"You fool me?!"
Amy stared at Mimosa.
"No!"
"I'm worth the price!"
Mimosa said seriously.
Even if you want to work part-time, you have to meet the labor requirements. Mimosa always thinks so.
"you!"
Amy pointed at the mimosa, and then suddenly chuckled.
Start with a chuckle.
Then came a big laugh.
Rocking back and forth laughing.
Even, I got angry.
Just fell to the ground.
Then, the opponent swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, a pair of strong arms suddenly protruded from under the ribs, grabbed the hair, and tore it violently.
Stab it!
It was like skinning an eel, revealing a bloody, strong, burly figure belonging to John Deason.
It stared at the mimosa, opened its mouth, and said word by word.
"You, of course worth the price!"
"Cutie!"
