The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1597 The ‘Disaster’ that Follows You Everywhere

Among these prying eyes, some are human and some are not human.

When the slight sound of chewing was heard, those non-human eyes became frightened and panicked one by one. The sense of oppression from the overlord at the top of the food chain made them disappear one by one.

And those are human?

They instinctively felt uncomfortable.

The smile drawn with fingers and the soft words made them feel strangely uncomfortable.

But that's it.

The goal is just a psychiatrist.

Maybe some fighting ability.

But a psychiatrist with fighting abilities is still a psychiatrist, right?

It's nothing more than changing from a powerless prey to a somewhat troublesome prey.

After the advent of firearms, the once ferocious tigers and lions became nothing more than dinner.

Not to mention a psychiatrist.

However, they were careful to hide themselves.

Because they saw each other.

It's obviously not a group of people staring at this target.

After the clown-like murderer's temptation, they were all exposed to each other's sight. Naturally, their plans changed after they accidentally saw each other. Of course, they would not give up until they After solving each other, the next time they appear, it will be when they take down each other in one fell swoop.

Kieran clearly felt the maliciousness of these glances.

He stood there, seemingly unaware.

Kieran was very patient.

This is especially true when facing an enemy that has exposed its flaws.

"Amy, tell Ms. Nora and I will eat at the Love Food House."

Kieran pointed at the police and the yellow cordon that appeared outside.

Obviously, having lunch in your own courtyard is out of the question.

"OK."

The little nurse lowered her head to communicate with the owner and chef of the food house. After a while, when the little nurse put down the phone, Qin Ran had already walked out of the courtyard door.

Looking at the back, the little nurse sighed softly.

She is on a diet to lose weight, otherwise she would definitely go with the doctor.

"Lower it a little more!"

"If I lose a little more weight, I can have a perfect figure!"

"That's when I reveal my feelings to the doctor!"

The little nurse clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with endless reverie, as if she had seen some beautiful scene, and a smile appeared on her face.

When he saw the steaming casseroles, a smile appeared on Kieran's face, especially when he smelled the aroma of mutton in them, his smile became even brighter.

The Aishishe located at 4-2-2 'Elm Street' is almost similar to the layout of 2-1-6 where Qin Ran lives. Both are independent buildings and courtyards. Moreover, the female chef also The third floor is used as its own living area, and the basement is opened as a wine cellar.

Walking into the courtyard, it looks messy but in fact there are five tables arranged with unique design. No matter where you sit here, you can see the open kitchen on the first floor of the building, but you can't see the guests in the hall. There is also a considerable distance between each other, which is both public and private. This arrangement is naturally very popular among people.

Even at noon, there were still three tables of people sitting here.

"Good afternoon, Doctor 2567."

The female chef greeted Kieran.

"good afternoon."

"Is this today's special?"

Kieran nodded, his eyes completely focused on the casserole.

"Yeah, lamb casserole."

“I learned from the Eastern cooking methods and then improved them with some tips learned from the chefs in the ‘Sleepless City’.”

"It is considered my proud work."

The female chef introduced.

"Anyone have a reservation?"

Qin Ran looked at a row of more than ten casseroles and asked suddenly.

"Only five reservations have been made."

The female chef was stunned, but answered.

"very good."

"I want the rest."

Kieran said with a smile.

"Okay, come right away."

After the female chef came to her senses, she also laughed.

No chef wouldn't like a customer like Qin Ran, who could eat without wasting money and still pay for it.

Similarly, Kieran doesn't dislike the female chef's 'duty' chef mentality.

The chef's mission is to make food that is good enough and enough to satisfy the guests. For example, if each guest is limited to one portion, except for the understandable marketing methods, it will really only leave people with enough food. Resentment, even if there is food to resolve it, will inevitably lead to regret.

When you eat, shouldn’t you eat until you’re sweating profusely and you’re leaning against the wall?

At least for Kieran, that was really the case.

After spending countless days without supplies, when Kieran had the opportunity to taste delicious food, he chose to follow his body's reaction.

As for more?

It's not like Qin Ran hasn't thought about it.

But he knows better that indulgence is not true freedom.

Restraint is.

Or more accurately, self-discipline.

Especially for people like him who are always in dangerous situations, self-discipline and caution are indispensable, and can even be said to complement each other.

Soon, the mutton casserole was served.

When the lid of the casserole was opened, the aroma hit the face. The milky white soup just revealed several square pieces of mutton. It only needed to be distinguished with the naked eye to see that these muttons had been stewed until soft and rotten. A piece of green onion. Cut into three sections and placed on top of the mutton exposed in the soup, there are several red wolfberries floating next to it. The crisp green and vibrant red echo each other in the milky white soup, which makes people feel happy when they see it. Great appetite.

Qin Ran picked up the spoon and took a sip of soup first.

fresh!

This was Qin Ran's first feeling.

Then, it’s slightly spicy!

It's not the spiciness of chili pepper, but... the spiciness of white pepper and ginger juice.

Not strong, but fragrant.

Let the deliciousness in the soup be completely released.

"Is the soup fish soup?"

Kieran asked after taking another sip.

"Curian carp soup."

The female chef glanced at Qin Ran in surprise, obviously not expecting the secret of Qin Ran being able to drink the soup.

"very nice."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he scooped up a piece of mutton.

In the ceramic spoon, the fat and thin mutton swayed with a different luster. When you put it in your mouth and chew it gently, the fat part melted instantly, wrapping the thin part and spreading in the mouth. The unusually refreshing taste made Kieran speed up.

The lamb casserole, enough for two people, is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The female chef dutifully finished one mutton casserole and immediately brought the second, third, and then the fourth and fifth portions.

At first, the female chef looked at Kieran with surprise, and then with horror. She stared at Kieran's belly. After eating the food for ten people, Kieran's belly was not bulging at all, and he looked completely like a normal person.

Big eater!

Such a description popped into the female chef's mind involuntarily.

The female chef who had witnessed some scenes in the 'City That Never Sleeps' couldn't help but take a breath.

You must know that each of those big eaters in the 'City That Never Sleeps' can eat more, but none of them are of height and weight beyond imagination.

There is no one like Qin Ran.

Besides, he didn’t seem to have enough to eat!

Relying on the chef's intuition, Nora came to this guess.

The next moment, the female chef's guess was confirmed.

After finishing the last bit of soup in the casserole, Qin Ran looked at the female chef with a smile on his face.

"What's the free meal today?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Fried chicken, burgers, Coke."

"How much do you need?"

The female chef answered.

"Five servings."

Kieran pointed to the five empty casseroles.

Since each one is given one copy, it is naturally five copies.

Can't waste a bit.

You know, he paid for it.

Even if the money is inherited from someone else's identity.

When Kieran tore open the first hamburger package, the female detective opened the door and walked in. She immediately saw Kieran sitting in the corner with a large amount of food piled in front of him.

The female detective frowned.

She thought Kieran was wasting food.

However, she did not speak immediately.

Because she has no habit of disturbing other people's meals.

She planned to wait until Kieran couldn't eat anymore.

However, this is obviously impossible.

In the eyes of the female detective with wide eyes, Qin Ran ate all the food on the table, including the drinks, as if there was nothing left.

"Where did you eat?"

The female detective couldn't help but ask.

"In the stomach."

Kieran replied.

"Is your stomach connected to another dimension?"

"Is it a bottomless pit?"

The female detective's face was full of surprise.

"Some people always have special talents."

"For example, some people are filled with a sense of justice when they touch the computer keyboard, as if they are superhuman and omnipotent."

"and I?"

"It's probably edible."

"Are you looking for me to go back and take notes? Or?"

Kieran didn't want to dwell on the issue of food intake and asked directly.

"The first is to take notes."

"Don't worry, I will prove that you acted in self-defense. Those bastards can't even think about overturning this bastard's case."

"The second is about your wife."

"Do you know anything about her?"

The female detective took a deep breath and asked.

"learn?"

"What's the meaning?"

Qin Ran asked with a fake frown, but deep down his concentration increased.

He knew what the female detective in front of him must have discovered.

"terribly sorry."

"Because of the case, I investigated the information about you and your ex-wife."

"Then, I discovered that after divorcing you, your ex-wife became solitary and almost cut off contact with anyone."

After saying sorry first, the female detective said.

"What's so strange about this?"

"A person's personality can change."

"It's possible to become cheerful."

"It's also possible to become withdrawn."

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

“But definitely not surrounded by ‘disasters’!”

“In the three years since your divorce, no less than fifty accidental disasters have occurred around your ex-wife, including but not limited to car accidents, falls from heights, drownings and gas pipeline leaks, twenty of which have resulted in casualties. "

"I found this out while looking up Mary's profile."

"And, most importantly, she was safe and sound every time!"

The female detective took a deep breath and spoke slowly, with confusion in her tone.

"You want to tell me that these unexpected disasters were caused by her?"

Kieran raised his eyebrows, deliberately making his tone angry.

"of course not!"

"Mary did not cause these unexpected disasters, on the contrary..."

"What is she running from!"

"But those unexpected disasters always follow her like a shadow. I wonder if Mary discovered something before she chose to divorce you. So, I hope to hear more about the situation from you."

The female detective shook her head.

"everything is normal."

"Just like those who are divorced, they have such and such reasons."

"But the end result is the same: we get divorced."

Qin Ran finished speaking vaguely, and without giving the female detective another chance to ask questions, he said directly: "Is it okay if I want to see the information on accidental disasters?"

"Sorry, you are not a police officer and do not have this authority."

The female detective was apologetic, but her tone was extremely firm.

Kieran was not surprised by this.

There is no way to solve it.

It just takes a little work.

Of course, before that, Kieran still needs to take notes.

Not in the Aishishe, nor in a home temporarily under martial law, but in accordance with the regulations, he returned to the police station and asked Qin Ran to describe what happened before word by word.

After confirming three times, let me sign.

Then, start recording for confirmation.

Grady, the female detective, is so serious, rigid and meticulous.

Not to mention being accommodating to someone like Qin Ran who was just an acquaintance, even if his best friend made a mistake, he would still handle it fairly.

You cannot say that such a person is bad.

On the contrary, from any perspective, such people are good people.

but……

Definitely not suitable to be friends with ordinary people.

To be a friend of such a person, you not only need a strong heart, but also a strong strength, because you never know when she will cause you big trouble.

"Is it okay?"

Qin Ran asked after the female detective listened to the recording carefully.

"Um."

"That's it."

"I'll arrange for a police car to take you back."

The female detective nodded.

Kieran didn't object.

It is also great to be able to save a taxi fare.

Just when Kieran was about to push the door open and leave, a police officer rushed up.

"Inspector! Inspector!"

"Another dismembered female body was discovered!"

Pushing open the door, the officer shouted.

"where?"

The female detective asked urgently without scolding her subordinates for saying things they shouldn't say in front of outsiders.

"Right in the police station!"

"It came via express delivery in the morning!"

Before the police officer could finish speaking, the female detective rushed out.

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and followed closely.

Soon, Kieran saw the bloody cardboard box at the service desk on the first floor.

The carton has been opened.

You can clearly see the body inside.

A young woman.

The limbs were chopped off and neatly stacked on the torso, and blood was solidifying on the skin.

"Tell me the details!"

The female detective looked at the dead body and her face became serious.

"The person signing for the express delivery was your name. We thought it was something you purchased online, so we put it on the service desk temporarily. But at noon, someone found that the box started to ooze blood, and they realized something was wrong. After opening it, , this body was discovered!”

"besides……"

"Here's a letter!"

The police officer guarding here quickly told what happened, and handed a letter enclosed in an evidence bag to the female detective.

The female detective put on gloves and took out the letter from the evidence bag, and was about to tear open the envelope.

Qin Ran, who had been standing nearby looking at the corpse, suddenly spoke.

"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to rip it open."
