The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1600 Corpse

The exclamation made Macross' expression change.

Almost subconsciously, the female forensic doctor ran towards the small lake.

When the female forensic doctor ran to the lake, the nurses and medical staff in the nursing home had already gathered at the lake. People were talking in low voices and looking at the bodies floating on the lake.

There is no doubt that even ordinary people can know that the degree of swelling leaves no other possibility except death.

Under the command of someone who was obviously the person in charge of the nursing home, two strong male caregivers had gone into the water to retrieve the body.

When the body was actually fished out, the female forensic doctor quickly examined it.

According to her experience, judging from the degree of swelling of the body, it must have been dead for at least three days.

And she just had a phone call with her teacher.

Not your own teacher!

The female forensic doctor breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she immediately spoke.

"Go call the police!"

"Put the body here, don't move!"

Out of professionalism, the female forensic doctor reminded the person in charge of the nursing home nearby.

The middle-aged female nursing home director obviously knew the female forensic doctor, and without hesitation, she immediately took out her mobile phone to call the police.

After calling the police, the person in charge signaled two caregivers to take care of the body, and then walked towards the female forensic doctor.

"Rose, are you here to see Adams?"

The person in charge asked while looking at Kieran.

His eyes were scrutinizing.

It's not the kind of scrutiny that a stranger would normally have, but the kind of scrutiny that an elder would have when a female junior brings someone of the opposite sex home.

It seems gentle, but in fact it is extremely sharp and slightly murderous.

Especially since the other party was wearing formal work clothes, with his hair tied up high, giving people a capable look, his murderous aura was undoubtedly stronger.

After realizing that Qin Ran was calm and composed, even indifferent, the other party was slightly startled.

Then, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"who is he?"

"Won't you introduce me?"

The other person asked in a softened voice.

"2567, a friend."

"This is Ms. Sinise, the director of the 'Water and Sunshine Sanatorium' and a good friend of my teacher."

The female forensic doctor introduced vaguely.

However, such ambiguity made the person in charge think more and more about something. He kept smiling and extended his hand to Qin Ran.

"Hello, 2567."

"Hello, Ms. Sinise."

The palms of both parties parted at the touch of each other. The person in charge did not leave, but asked directly.

"how old are you?"

"What's your job?"

"Have you bought a house in Yuecheng?"

His speech was not fast, but not slow either. His tone was kind but insistent. When asking these questions, the person in charge stared at Kieran closely, not missing any expression on Kieran's face.

"27."

"Psychologist."

"Bought, single-family house on Elm Street."

Qin Ran said without changing his expression.

Because, this is a fact.

Age is the age of this identity.

So is a career.

Naturally so is the house.

He didn't lie.

After hearing Qin Ran's answer, the person in charge's eyes lit up and his face became softer.

Just the right age, stable career, good income.

The best choice!

"Let's stay for afternoon tea later."

"I have some nice snacks here..."

"Ms. Sinise, we still need to see the teacher."

Before Qin Ran could move and speak again, the female forensic doctor spoke first, and then pulled Qin Ran towards the main building.

Entering the corridor of the building, the female forensic doctor looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Sinise didn't mean any harm."

"She, she's just worried about me."

The female forensic doctor's voice became stammering.

But Qin Ran felt a little confused in his heart.

Although he also felt strange, but for a person whose real age is only 17, and who is running around all day long to survive.

What is a ‘blind date’?

Can it be eaten?

Is it tasty?

Can I have another bottle?

Qin Ran has fought countless battles, experienced various dangers, and encountered all kinds of enemies, but he really doesn't understand blind dates. He has neither encountered them before nor has similar memories. He has no understanding of the female forensic doctor in front of him. What did the lady mean by her words.

even……

From a certain perspective, Kieran didn't understand emotions.

Of course, this does not prevent Kieran from facing it in his own way.

"Yeah?"

"If you have a good relationship, remember to pack some snacks for me when you leave."

Qin Ran said this.

"certainly!"

"no problem!"

“The snacks here are very good!”

The female forensic doctor who thought that this was Qin Ran giving her a step up had a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, nodded hurriedly, and then walked forward quickly.

No elevator option.

Instead, I chose the stairs.

When she stepped onto the stairs, the embarrassment on the female forensic doctor's face quickly turned into hesitation.

"Do you think the teacher has anything to do with this?"

The anxious female forensic doctor subconsciously asked Qin Ran.

"what you think?"

Qin Ran asked rhetorically.

The female forensic doctor was silent.

As soon as she asked the teacher about the abnormality in the morgue, someone appeared in front of her, ready to tie her to the chair and cut her alive. If there was nothing inside, she would not believe it.

But at the same time, she didn't believe that her teacher, who was very good to her in the past, would do this.

People have evil.

There is also kindness.

It was like a coin being thrown into the air, imprinted with different words and pictures.

It keeps spinning.

Show your handwriting or paintings at will at any time.

Until the moment before landing, no one could determine whether it was a word or a flower.

All he had was the nervousness of watching the coin drop.

The female forensic doctor is like this at the moment.

Standing in front of the door of 404, the female forensic doctor hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Come in."

When a slightly weak voice sounded, the female forensic doctor gritted her teeth and pushed open the door.

A room of about 30 square meters with home decoration appeared in front of Kieran. It had a sofa, coffee table, desk, bookshelf, TV, etc. If the bed hadn't been a hospital bed, it would have looked like a hotel. .

"Rose."

The middle-aged man lying on the bed looked at the female forensic doctor who walked in, immediately put down the book in his hand, showed a smile, and was about to sit up.

"Teacher, please lie down."

The female forensic doctor immediately walked over and said.

Even under the blanket, Kieran could see that the other person's leg was missing.

"2567?"

After the other party waved to the female forensic doctor, he insisted on sitting up and facing Kieran, and then directly called Kieran's name.

"Teacher, do you know him?"

The female forensic doctor was very surprised.

"The name of the youngest recipient of the Ph.D. Ph.D. in Psychology is very familiar to me."

"he……"

"ah!"

"Dead people!"

Before the other party finished speaking, he was interrupted.

Listening to the scream, the face of the female forensic doctor changed.

what happened?

Why did someone die again?

Although he is a forensic doctor and deals with corpses every day, the chance of encountering corpses when traveling is not high.

This kind of thing, encountering two corpses in a moment, is unique for a female forensic doctor.

"Rose, go and take a look."

"Maybe Sinise needs your help."

The female forensic teacher said this.

The female forensic doctor did not object. She gave Qin Ran a look of "leave it to you" and left in a hurry. Kieran could hear that the female forensic doctor was a little lucky when the door was closed.

It is a relief for the female forensic doctor to finally not have to ask such questions to her loved ones.

escape?

It is part of human nature.

Although it is shameful in the eyes of strong people, it is indeed useful.

As the door closed, Kieran and the female forensic teacher were left in the room.

"Introduce yourself, Adams."

The other party said very gently, and then wanted to shake hands with Qin Ran, but because his hands were supporting his body, he couldn't lift them up at all.

"Sorry, I'm in worse shape than I look."

The other party said apologetically.

"You've done a great job."

"Even compared to normal people."

"It's also outstanding enough."

Kieran said with a double entendre.

"Yeah?"

"But so what if it's great?"

“Something happens, it just happens.”

"It can't be changed after all."

The other party smiled self-deprecatingly, his voice began to slow down, and his eyes were looking at the ceiling, as if he was recalling something. Then, the other party turned to look at Kieran.

"Are you confused?"

"Or are you in pain?"

"Trust me, I've been there too."

“We are all in the same boat.”

The other party sighed and looked like he was about to tell everything. However, the next moment, the other party changed the subject.

"I'm sorry. As I get older, I like to say some weird words."

"Please do not mind that."

"Don't take it to heart."

"I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."

"Can you close the door for me when you leave?"

the other party requested.

"OK."

Qin Ran took a deep look at the other person and nodded.

He turned around and went out without any hesitation. After closing the door, Qin Ran did not choose to leave, but stood at the door and waited.

After about a few seconds, the figure of the female detective appeared.

As soon as he appeared, the female detective looked at Kieran with a strange expression.

"Are you the God of Death?"

The female detective asked seriously.

"no."

Kieran answered in the same serious tone.

"So, can you explain to me what's going on?"

"Why do accidents happen wherever you go?"

"Just like your ex-wife!"

The female detective's voice was lowered, but her gaze became sharper, as if she wanted to see into Kieran's heart.

"Maybe it's a coincidence?"

Kieran replied.

"coincide?"

"Do you believe in coincidences?"

the female detective asked.

"Do not believe."

Kieran said with certainty.

"Since you don't believe it, then explain to me what happened to you?"

The female detective's voice couldn't help but rise a little higher.

"Maybe it's fate?"

Qin Ran

"destiny?"

The female detective laughed mockingly. She looked at Qin Ran and spoke word by word.

"I always thought I was too worried."

"but……"

"Now it seems that you are more dangerous than I thought!"

"I hope you didn't play any embarrassing role in these things, otherwise, I will definitely arrest you!"

After saying that, the female detective started knocking on the door.

After getting Adams' permission, the female detective entered the room.

The door was closed again, and following closely behind the female detective, the female forensic doctor who had been silent just now instinctively wanted to explain to the female detective.

Because, she saw that after the door was closed, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Qin Ran's face.

Looking at that smile, the female forensic doctor felt a little scared in her heart.

She felt that the smile was like those beasts showing their fangs in TV documentaries about to prey on their prey.

Not only is it ferocious, it's also chilling.

"Grady means no harm."

"She's just a little anxious."

"just……"

"Come with me, you'll understand when you see it."

The female forensic doctor raised her hand and wanted to drag Qin Ran away, but Qin Ran ducked and avoided such a tugging.

"lead the way."

Qin Ran said directly.

The female forensic doctor immediately ran downstairs. Following behind the female forensic doctor, Qin Ran quickly returned to the lake again.

At this time, the lakeside was surrounded by yellow cordon.

Police officers stood outside the cordon one after another, blocking the approaching crowd.

In fact, not to mention that the crowd at this time was getting closer, they all looked at this place with a hint of fear.

because……

Seven corpses were placed there in a row.

Covered with white cloth.

Blocking the surrounding view.

If a corpse appeared in the lake, it could be explained by drowning or accident.

But what about the seven bodies?

murder!

Moreover, it’s not just any murder!

It was a premeditated murder!

So, will there be another one?

Facing a serial killer hiding in the dark, uncontrollable fear filled the hearts of these ordinary people.

Fear is not a plague.

But it has the ability to spread more terrifyingly than the plague.

When Kieran stood here, no matter how much Ms. Sinise explained, some people living in the nursing home still planned to leave.

"Ms. Sinise, it's too scary. I won't be able to sleep here."

"Yeah yeah!"

"I don't want to be killed in my sleep."

"Please!"

"Please let us leave!"

Such voices came and went in the crowd.

It starts with one person, and then there is no stopping it.

Ms. Sinise's voice was completely drowned.

Just when these people were about to leave regardless, the deputy of the female detective shouted loudly.

"You can't even leave!"

"Until the investigation is clear, everyone here is a suspect!"

The police officers guarding the entrance of the nursing home even put their hands on their gun holsters.

It was both a deterrent and a suspicion from the bottom of my heart that the serial killer was among them.

There is no doubt that such a deterrent is very powerful.

All the people who were clamoring began to retreat.

After Qin Ran glanced at these people one by one, when the police officers' attention was attracted, he walked towards the seven corpses covered with white cloth.

After checking them one by one, Qin Ran frowned suddenly.
