Chapter 1352 Apartment

Video websites that have direct cooperation with Yucheng TV Station began to directly broadcast the 'Psychic' column that was not broadcast yesterday as a popular and home page. Websites with a relatively close relationship do not mind sending out some promotions at this time. Of course, there is no shortage of sailors hired by Eckerd on major websites and forums.

Eckerd knows very well that whether he can stay in the position of deputy director depends on whether the "Psychic" column can meet expectations this time.

Achieved, everything is easy to say.

If he fails to achieve it, he will be finished.

Therefore, Eckerd spared no effort in promoting the ‘Psychic’ cover column.

Not only were all available connections used, but some sideways methods were also used.

The result of this is that the 'psychic' spreads quickly and becomes known to people.

Naturally, some people believe it and some people don't.

Those who believe are amazed.

Those who do not believe despise and ridicule.

Qin Ran did not directly understand the process of broadcasting the program.

In other words, he doesn't need to understand at all.

[Absorb energy, reverse harvest activation judgment...]

[The energy did not meet the standard, and the judgment failed...]

[Absorb energy, reverse harvest activation judgment...]

[The energy did not meet the standard, and the judgment failed...]

…

When the program was broadcast, the text prompts in front of him never stopped, as if they were like a waterfall flowing upstream.

And about half an hour later, when the show was about to end, the prompt finally changed.

[Absorb energy, reverse harvest activation judgment...]

[The energy reaches the standard and the judgment is passed...]

[The skill ‘Tracking’ is unlocked! 】

…

After that, the system returned the prompt that the judgment failed, obviously entering the next round of energy collection.

"It turned out to be [tracking]."

"What is the basis for determining unblocked skills or abilities?"

"Random?"

After such an idea appeared in Qin Ran's mind, he was immediately rejected.

Since the rules are changing, there must be rules.

The integration of rules is the evolution of rules.

He couldn't find the pattern, just because there were too few clues.

However, looking at the system prompts that were still popping up one after another, Qin Ran believed that he would discover the pattern sooner or later.

At the same time, he has more expectations for the evening's 'Psychic' column.

In order to better prepare for the evening column, Kieran wouldn't mind learning more about Elwood Apartments.

Makeup artist?

The opponent who is completely frightened is definitely unreliable.

Advisors by your side?

With the other party's identity, he could naturally know some things that others didn't know, but Kieran was also sure that the other party would definitely not tell him.

Who wants to tell a liar more information?

Therefore, Kieran had no more choices.

He stood up and walked directly to Eckerd's office.

Mei Huasheng stood up silently and followed him.

…

“Need more information about Elwood Apartments?”

"No problem, leave it to me."

"By the way, 2567, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Do you need me to go to Yue to order a table of food for you?"

After hearing Kieran's question, Eckerd agreed without any hesitation, and asked about Kieran's lunch in a friendly manner.

Yue, a very famous restaurant in Yucheng.

Famous for its delicious food and a steady stream of diners.

Kieran didn't know about 'Yue', but based on his instinct, he thought it would be a good place.

Therefore, he answered simply.

"Let's go to the evening. Lin and Amy are going to prepare lunch."

"good!"

"I'll reserve a seat in advance."

"We will go together after recording the show tonight."

Eckerd nodded repeatedly, with such a flattering look that made Mei Huasheng frown.

Eckerd saw Mei Huasheng with disdain on his face, but he didn't care at all.

After receiving the actual data fed back by various websites, Aikede completely regarded Qin Ran as his life-saving straw.

If he could, he would worship Qin Ran as a god.

In fact, that's what he did.

Not only did he quickly get all the information he needed for Kieran, but he also began to pray that the evening's program would go smoothly.

…

Crab roe beef stew, whole braised pork elbow, and winter melon meatballs.

The makeup artist lined up the food on the table.

"There is almost no crab roe, and the beef has been soaked in salt water to hide the staleness."

"When the elbow was boiled for the first time, to save trouble, I added onions, ginger and garlic without replacing the blood water."

"Soup...too much MSG."

After eating all the food, Kieran commented.

Then he looked up at the makeup artist.

"I think your definition of chef is wrong!"

Qin Ran said.

"I think you are deliberately trying to find fault!"

"Do you know that I waited in line for a long time to buy it?"

"Are you ignoring the fruits of my labor?"

"What's more, haven't you finished eating already?"

The makeup artist asked loudly.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

"I finished it because I didn't want to waste food."

"Also, I think that in addition to your understanding of the definition of chef, you also have errors in the term "product of labor."

Kieran said while packing the snack boxes.

The words were very serious, but it was because of such seriousness that the make-up artist wanted to lift the chair in front of him and give Qin Ran a hard slap.

He confirmed that Kieran was just a picky and petty person.

Chefs in roadside restaurants, of course, can't be compared with real famous chefs, but they shouldn't be as bad as Qin Ran said.

"Careful!"

The makeup artist ran out angrily.

Of course he wasn't planning to run away, but was looking for evidence to refute Qin Ran.

Let’s see how you pick at it then!

With this in mind, the makeup artist quickly disappeared into the corridor.

After putting all the lunch boxes in his hand into the trash can and confirming that no one would disturb him, Qin Ran unfolded the information about the Elwood apartment sent by Eckerd.

He would never admit that he did it because he hated being disturbed.

The information sent by Eckerd was packed in a brown paper bag, with both written records and photos. Putting the photos aside, Qin Ran looked at the written records——

In August 1084 of the New Calendar, when the first owner of Elwood Apartment came to collect the rent, he found a tenant hanging in the apartment. (The time of death was more than three weeks, the temperature was hot, the body was extremely decomposed, and had been eaten by rats and insects, but it was determined to be suicide.)

In November 1084 of the New Calendar, the first owner of Elwood Apartments accidentally fell to his death. The apartment was inherited by his nephew. However, on the second day after the inheritance, there was a traffic accident on the way to Elwood Apartments. (Although there was no life-threatening danger, the other party believed that the apartment was unknown and sold the apartment exclusively to the second owner: He Qiang at a low price)

In December 1085 of the New Calendar, the second owner of the apartment, He Qiang, had a quarrel with an apartment resident while collecting rent for the apartment, and was stabbed to death with a dagger. (Guest Feng De is wanted and his whereabouts are still unknown.)

In March 1086 of the New Calendar, the apartment was once again auctioned at a low price by He Qiang's wife. (The third owner: Yu Naers.)

In April 1086 of the New Calendar, Yu Naers was electrocuted while renovating his apartment. (As of July 1092 of the New Calendar, the apartment is vacant and unoccupied.)

…

After flipping through all the written records page by page, Kieran looked at the pile of photos.

The first photo is a front view of the Elwood Apartment: it was probably taken at noon. Not only does it include the entire three-story apartment in the shot, it also includes the small garden in front of the apartment, especially the fence gate. The 'Elwood Apartments' sign standing in front is particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.

The second picture was not so beautiful, a highly decomposed corpse with blackened flesh and maggots all over it.

The third photo is a photo of someone who died after falling into a human shape.

The fourth picture shows a middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair, with a sad and frightened face.

The fifth photo changes to a corpse with a dagger stuck in it.

The sixth photo is a wanted poster with the name Feng De on it.

The seventh photo shows a charred corpse, which should be the third owner of the apartment, Yu Naers, who was electrocuted.

Except for the first photo, every one of the remaining photos is shocking.

Even the faint of heart will scream the moment they see it.

For those who are bolder, it can also cause discomfort.

And Kieran?

He looked at each photo carefully, tapped his fingers on the desktop from time to time, or flipped through the written records.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Ran raised his head this time and leaned against the sofa again.

The corner of Kieran's mouth twitched as he recalled the detailed information about Elwood's apartment in his mind.

Coincidence is the most unbelievable thing in this world.

What's more, with so many coincidences in the same place, there is only one possibility left...

"You are breaking the law!"

Mei Huasheng's voice sounded.

The former female soldier who had just returned from the cafeteria frowned when she saw the materials and photos on the coffee table, especially the latter.

Therefore, Qin Ran refused to cooperate with the other party.

The other party is worthy of respect, but working with the other party is really a torment.

"Ickerd gave this to me."

Qin Ran looked at the other person and said.

"Then you are also an accomplice!"

Mei Huasheng stared at Kieran, hoping to put pressure on him, but obviously, it had no effect. Kieran put the things away in an orderly manner and put them into the cowhide bag before looking at him again.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for your arrest warrant."

"Remember, close the door."

"I hope no one disturbs me during my lunch break in the afternoon!"

Qin Ran spoke clearly.

Then, before Mei Huasheng could say anything, he lay down on the sofa and covered his head with his coat.

The level of [Tracking] was unsealed, and it was a good thing for Qin Ran to return to the extraordinary level. He was used to the state of mastering all traces.

But Qin Ran did not forget the issue of physical strength.

The unparalleled level of [Tracking] is exhausted in an instant, so what about the extraordinary level of [Tracking]?

I'm afraid it will directly lead to physical exhaustion, right?

Maybe I should bring more high-calorie foods and sports drinks to replenish my energy.

Qin Ran thought silently.

Huh, huh.

Hearing the long breath coming from under the clothes, Mei Huasheng stared and clenched his fists.

If eyes could kill, Kieran would definitely be smashed to pieces at this time.

After staring at it for three seconds, Mei Huasheng picked up the leather bag on the table, turned around and strode away.

boom!

The door slammed shut.

Kieran, who seemed to be sleeping, immediately jumped up.

He went through the previous sleeping process again, and after confirming that there was a glimmer of hope in case of any accidents, he lay back on the sofa, truly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

…

The sun sets.

After a full afternoon of sleep, Qin Ran was sitting in a high-end nanny's car, followed by another interview car.

This nanny car was directly called by Eckerd.

It drives very smoothly, and the seats inside are even more comfortable. Leaning on it is like sitting on a real sofa.

But at this moment, Eckerd sat across from Kieran with faint excitement and anticipation.

"This is a script."

"Look at 2567, you don't need to memorize it, you just need to have a general idea, and then you need your on-the-spot reaction on the stage yesterday."

Aikede handed a notebook to Qin Ran and told Qin Ran.

Mei Huasheng, who had a straight face, seemed to be completely isolated in another dimension. Not only did Kieran choose to ignore her, but Eckerd also didn't say a word to her.

In fact, Eckerd had a big fight with each other in the afternoon.

Although it calmed down in the end, the relationship between the two parties fell to a freezing point.

Eckerd has bluntly stated to Qin Ran that a different person will come to be the consultant of the 'Spiritualist' column.

Qin Ran had no objections to this.

Both vehicles continued on.

Soon after passing through the busiest part of the city, it turned into a quiet alley.

The noise suddenly disappeared.

All that was left was the sound of the engine.

The strong contrast between the two makes people unconsciously tense up.

Especially the two drivers driving the car.

As natives of Yucheng, the two of them knew the rumors about Elwood's apartment very well.

If it wasn't for work reasons, the two of them would never have come a step closer to here.

In fact, even if it was due to work reasons, the two regretted a little after entering this quiet, unpopulated alley.

Even if the sky hadn't really darkened yet, the two of them couldn't wait to turn on the headlights.

The lights of the lights are like two straight lightsabers passing through the alley.

The asphalt road and the trees on both sides of the road caught the eyes of the two drivers through the car windows. After the remaining skylight and the bright lights reflected each other, these trees were like palms with claws and teeth that made people shrink.

Even more frightening is the shadow at the end of the road.

The two drivers looked at the building that was almost melting into the shadows, as if they saw a beast crawling in the darkness. Unconsciously, their throats felt itchy, and they swallowed dryly. The palms of their hands holding the steering wheel were unknown. It was full of sweat.

Infected by the atmosphere of silence, Eckerd subconsciously stopped talking with Qin Ran, and turned around to look outside through the windshield of the vehicle.

But just when Ickerd turned around——

Meow!

A shrill cat meow suddenly sounded.
