Qin Ran ate dinner in Sheriff John's office.
Two hot dogs, a donut, three pieces of fried chicken and a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Although he could only use one hand and the other hand was handcuffed to the chair, this did not prevent Qin Ran from eating deliciously.
For Qin Ran, who has worked in fast food for three years, even fast food is delicious.
"Thanks for the food taste like real!"
After pouring the last bit of orange juice into his mouth, Qin Ran couldn't help squinting his eyes comfortably, feeling the sweetness and slightly sourness of the orange.
The only thing that made Qin Ran regretful was that these foods did not supplement life, physical strength and other attributes.
All he has is to eliminate the [Hunger] status.
Subconsciously, Kieran thought of the canned food and bottled water he got in the novice dungeon.
"Is it considered a novice benefit?"
Qin Ran easily made an association.
Then, instinctively, Qin Ran regretted that he didn't bring out more cans and bottled water, even though he had already brought out the two most valuable bazookas.
Never underestimate the stinginess of a cheapskate.
When Qin Ran put the cup back on the table, the office door was pushed open.
Sheriff John walked in with a cigarette in his mouth, and threw the key to the handcuffs to Qin Ran.
That meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Qin Ran is fine.
After unlocking the handcuffs, Qin Ran moved his left wrist and asked, "Who is that guy? Could it be an old friend of mine who hired him?"
"no!"
"Remember the gang of pickpockets you helped us catch when you were catching the murderer today?"
asked Sheriff John.
"Don't tell me that the current pickpocket gangs have become reckless?"
Qin Ran pretended to be surprised.
Although he is not a real detective, Kieran also knows that thieves and pickpockets, although standing in a gray area, are absolutely incapable of committing murder.
"Of course they don't dare, but the boss behind them dares!"
"Remember the 'Jimmy' I told you?"
Sheriff John puffed on his cigarette.
"Of course, isn't he missing?"
"The district you manage has also become chaotic because of his disappearance!"
Qin Ran nodded and said.
"I've never wished that guy Jimmy would appear in front of me like this moment!"
"Jimmy's disappearance has made the position of the leader of the underground forces in this district vacant!"
"Those guys who want to make a difference and get to the top position start to show themselves like crazy!"
Speaking of this, Sheriff John lit another cigarette irritably.
Even the last cigarette was lit for less than two minutes.
"So, I was targeted for a 'demonstration'?"
Qin Ran understood instantly.
With Sheriff John's explanation, he has roughly understood the flow of the whole thing.
Today at the train station, the boss behind the gang of pickpockets he discovered by the way was fighting for this district, and his behavior was naturally regarded as a kind of provocation.
Coincidentally, the behind-the-scenes boss needs more fame.
And what could be more famous than killing him, the person who just offended him
He is so brave and ruthless, and he must be revenged!
This is very undesirable in the eyes of ordinary people.
But in the eyes of these underground forces, it is an advantage.
"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to bring that guy back!"
"I want him to spend the rest of his life in a dark prison!"
There was an angry smile on Sheriff John's rough face.
People can't help but shake their heads when they see it.
John had already learned about the situation at the scene through the patrolmen, so John, as the sheriff, knew very well that those guys didn't just make trouble this time, they came here for Qin Ran's order.
If it wasn't for Qin Ran's good skills, if he saw Qin Ran again at this time, he would probably go to the morgue at noon.
Sheriff John still attaches great importance to Qin Ran as a good friend - after Qin Ran helped him solve a murder case at noon, Sheriff John automatically classified Qin Ran as a friend.
"Is there any news about Altili Hunter?"
With the other party's guarantee, Qin Ran didn't intend to ask any more, but asked about the whereabouts of the daughter.
Because, Qin Ran knew very well that the sheriff in front of him was upright and just.
He could allow Kieran to be too defensive.
But Kieran is absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to cause killing.
Especially when the other party is already in a state of desperation, if Qin Ran really goes to kill the boss behind the scenes, he will definitely stand on the opposite side of the other party.
Before finding out the exact whereabouts of Altili Hunter, Kieran is not willing to lose this ally.
Otherwise, he would really have to find a needle in a haystack.
"I have just dispatched the manpower I can dispatch!"
"Including the reserves I left behind!"
John said so.
The other party's answer made Qin Ran understand that the side mission [Female corpse in the police station] he completed had already had an effect.
However, Kieran didn't mind, and made the other party's search easier.
"I got some more definite news this afternoon!"
"There is someone with this young lady!"
"And, even more fortunately, this person has very obvious features - there is a scar on his face, starting from the center of the brow to the left corner of the mouth! His hands have thick joints, and his back is injured!"
Qin Ran narrated the clues he got from Gong Lansen.
Then, he saw Sheriff John in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Ran asked subconsciously.
"Is this the guy you're looking for?"
Sheriff John found a portrait from a pile of documents on his desk.
Although Qin Ran hadn't seen it before, but looking at the scar from the center of the brow to the left corner of the mouth, he was more than half sure in his heart.
However, Qin Ran didn't say it directly.
Instead, he curiously asked about the other party's identity.
"This is?"
"'Black Hand' Jimmy, the underground.under.boss.big of this district!"
Sheriff John replied.
And hearing such an answer, Qin Ran also froze there.
After a while, he rubbed the space between his brows and let out intermittent moans.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
"The Altili Hunter I was looking for actually got mixed up with someone completely irrelevant like 'Black Hand' Jimmy?"
"That is to say, the person Altili Hunter saved before was 'Black Hand' Jimmy!"
"And the reason why Altili Hunter disappeared on a rainy night is definitely because she was worried about this injured guy—he should be in a very shabby place, so shabby that it doesn't even have a roof!"
"If Hunter knew such a fact, he would probably be very sad!"
Qin Ran looked at the portrait in his hand.
This Jimmy who is known as the 'Black Hand', if he put aside the hideous scar, he is not very old, and his appearance can be said to be a bit delicate.
Moreover, the excitement brought by the identity of the other party has an unparalleled attraction for a rich lady like Altili Hunter.
What's more terrible is that Altili Hunter is not a powerless young lady, with Gong Lansen's training, she is far better than ordinary people.
And this kind of strength made her yearn for adventure even more.
She didn't want to be tied down to her father's estate, even if it was for her own good.
Similarly, such strength will also become her fatal incentive.
Because the reality is far more cruel than she imagined.
[Main quest: Find Altili Hunter or her body within one month]
Looking at the word 'corpse' in the main quest, Qin Ran couldn't help but sigh.
The description of the main quest has already indicated what Altili Hunter might experience.
"I don't know if Hunter will be sad. I only know that if I can find 'Black Hand' Jimmy, the mess in front of me will end—I can have enough time to clean up those guys one by one!"
Sheriff John said.
"Then, I can only hope that there won't be too many leaks in the city!"
Qin Ran laughed.
"No matter how many there are, I will find them one by one!"
Sheriff John turned and left the office as he spoke.
Looking at the back of Sheriff John leaving, Kieran shook his head.
It's been almost a full day, and it's unlikely that Artille Hunter and 'Black Hand' Jimmy will stay where they are.
Sheriff John knew too.
However, the other party will not give up a little bit of hope.
Therefore, Qin Ran is not persuading.
Stretching his waist, Qin Ran stood up from the chair, picked up the box containing [Venom-M1], and prepared to return to his residence.
He didn't want to spend the night in an office chair.
When Qin Ran walked out of the office, a panicked policeman was running towards him in a hurry.
"Hey Carl!"
Qin Ran waved his hand to greet the young policeman.
"Detective Qin Ran, where's the sheriff?"
The young policeman nodded to Qin Ran and asked hastily.
"John just left!"
"What happened?"
Qin Ran asked curiously.
Although Karl in front of him was young, his brief contact at noon was enough to let Kieran know that the other party was not a fussy person, and that something must have happened in such a hurry now.
"Our people are fighting against Shuboke's people. The opponent's firepower is very strong and urgent reinforcements are needed!"
The other party didn't hide anything, and said briefly.
"Schubbock?"
Qin Ran had no further impression of this name.
"It's the guy who just sent the killer to assassinate you on the street!"
Carl explained.
"It's him?"
Qin Ran was surprised at first, then narrowed his eyes slightly.
