The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1627 Little Cutie

The piercing scream woke up Mimosa who had just fallen asleep.

Mimosa sat up with her arms supporting her body and looked at Kieran who was sitting in the chair and putting down the book.

"follow me."

Qin Ran said this.

After discovering the abnormality of the dead in this copy world, the cautious Kieran tried his best to keep Mimosa in his sight to ensure the safety of Mimosa.

After all, Kieran was not sure whether the wise dead here also had some inherent characteristics from the past.

For example: fear of the sun.

Mimosa put on her coat and followed Qin Ran downstairs.

When Kieran opened the restaurant door, he could already see a group of people gathered under the streetlight not far away.

The street lights went out as the sun rose, and a burly man was strangled by the neck and hung there, with a purple face and a long tongue hanging out, swaying slightly in the morning breeze.

"John Deason!"

When Mimosa saw the face of the hanged man clearly, she immediately let out a low exclamation.

There were both surprises and even more shocks.

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

He stood on the side of the street lamp and looked at the body carefully.

Clothes intact.

There was no trauma.

The handcuffs were still on one of the hands.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of the first customer last night.

"Not just saying thank you."

"There will still be..."

"Revenge?"

Qin Ran thought silently in his heart.

If someone wasn't up to something, then...he would most likely be in trouble.

The piercing siren sounds from far to near.

The crowd dispersed immediately.

The short man with curly brown hair walked directly under the body with a gloomy expression.

After watching for four or five minutes, the sergeant directed the police officers to put the body down.

The forensic doctor on the side came over immediately and began to examine it carefully.

"The body is intact and there are no external injuries. It is initially determined that he died of mechanical asphyxia..."

"I know this!"

"What I want to know is what I don't know!"

"For example: Are there fingerprints on the street lamps or traces of being run over by ladders?"

Teddy, whose eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, interrupted the medical examiner's words and spoke in a low voice.

"Leave it to me, Sheriff!"

The forensic doctor who heard some rumors nodded slightly, 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 got stuck in his chest and couldn't spit it out no matter how hard he vomited.

Stifled!

Uncomfortable!

In his 10 years as a police officer, Teddy has encountered many criminals who are either vicious, cunning, or both. There is no doubt that John Deason is your kind of criminal who has both.

However, no matter how John Deason tries to quibble, in the face of irrefutable 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 told clearly what would happen to this bastard one by one.

Then, a flash of fear flashed in the serial killer's eyes.

That's what Sheriff Teddy wants to see.

But just when the police chief was about to pursue the victory, the power went out in the interrogation room.

Not just 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 is even more concerned about his life.

Therefore, Sheriff Teddy knows how to deal with each other.

But what happened next was something Sheriff Teddy couldn't have predicted.

John Deason is missing!

When the interrogation room lights came on again, John Deason was missing!

In just three seconds, John Deason, who was handcuffed to the chair, disappeared without a trace.

At that time, the entire police station was in a state of excitement.

Everyone started searching but found nothing.

But no one believed that a handcuffed and restrained suspect could escape from the police station, especially when there was a police sergeant sitting opposite the suspect, and there were two recorders in the secret observation room next door. Under the premise that there are two police officers with live ammunition outside the interrogation room.

However, people just disappeared.

Everyone involved in the interrogation was scolded by the director.

As the police chief, Teddy naturally received the most attention.

And just after Teddy had just promised to catch John Deason within three days, John Deason was found in less than two hours.

But it became a corpse.

Just like that, he was hung from the street lamp.

Damn it!

Sheriff Teddy cursed in his heart and walked out of the crowd.

The scene was extremely damaged, but some things were still there.

His eyes scanned the crowd.

Then, he saw Kieran and Mimosa standing there.

"Brothers Luo Yan and Luo Ye..."

Looking at the pair of second-generation immigrant brothers, Teddy pondered for a moment, and then walked over.

"Is there anything to eat?"

Sheriff Teddy asked half-seriously.

"Open from 11pm to 5pm the next day."

Kieran said calmly.

"That's a shame."

"What do you think?"

Sheriff Teddy pointed to the hanging body.

"You deserve it."

Kieran said very objectively.

"Although I agree with your statement, it will be very detrimental to yourself if you say this before a murder case... Are you accustomed to corpses?"

Sheriff Teddy said with a smile, his tone of voice unconsciously lengthened, and he suddenly changed the topic.

It was an interrogation technique that Kieran was very familiar with.

Of course, it’s easy to deal with.

"There are many corpse parts in the kitchen. Do you need to take a look?"

Kieran 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, you must be grateful."

Qin Ran said seriously.

"Okay, thank you for your advice on how to eat. If you have anything else, remember to tell me. I left you a business card before."

Sheriff Teddy is ready to end this conversation.

"Um."

"I offered a reward for catching this guy, and my stolen wallet..."

"I'll bring it to you after you go through the process."

Sheriff Teddy, who was about to end the conversation, turned around and left after hearing Kieran's words.

The stolen wallet naturally disappeared with the death of John Deason.

As for the reward?

According to the process, it will be distributed truthfully.

However, due to the unexpected death of John Deason, the process will also be delayed for a lot of time.

At that time, it was difficult for most people to accept it.

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 his mimosa.

He needs to prepare something.

Night arrived as promised.

The blackboard was placed outside the door on time at eleven o'clock at night.

Leaf's Restaurant.

Today’s food: roast rabbit, fried rice, chicken soup.

(No alcohol is served and drunk guests are not welcome)

Although it is written in chalk, the handwriting is still beautiful. It was written by Mimosa.

The additional text in brackets was also added by Mimosa.

He also doesn't like drunk people.

Especially those women who got tangled up with Kieran when they were drunk should be kicked out.

However, to Mimosa's expectation, the drunk woman from yesterday appeared again.

Almost as soon as the blackboard was hung up, the woman walked in.

No drinking.

She was wearing exquisite makeup, well-dressed, carrying a women's shoulder bag, and sprayed a light perfume on her body. As soon as she walked in, she smelled mimosa.

However, Mimosa didn't say anything.

He manages the kitchen.

Qin Ran will take care of it from the front.

This was something the two of them had agreed on long ago.

Mimosa believed that Kieran would handle it properly.

In fact, yes -

"You profiteer!"

As soon as she entered the door, Amy gritted her teeth and said.

"Roast rabbit 1,000, fried rice 150, chicken soup 100, clearly marked prices, no kidding."

Kieran said calmly.

"You said yesterday that chicken soup costs 10 yuan."

Amy emphasized.

"You were the one who proposed 100. I think you are right. Therefore, when you come to my place, the price of all my food will be increased by ten times. In order to bring out your beauty."

Kieran said words that made Amy regret, embarrass and embarrassed after she sobered up.

Anyone who wakes up from alcohol will regret their actions while drunk.

Amy is no exception.

Amy even paid a heavy price.

Spending ten times the price, I drank a bowl of chicken soup that I forgot the taste of.

So here she is again.

She wanted the remaining 90 yuan back.

The money she had worked so hard to earn could not be wasted like this.

"Do you know you are committing fraud!"

"If you do this, I can sue you!"

Amy tried her best to make her aura more fierce, hoping to scare Kieran.

Kieran said nothing and pointed to the surveillance camera in a corner of the restaurant.

The money that goes into his pocket is his.

Want to take it out of his pocket again?

Don't even think about it!

"Although it is 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, the surveillance camera was broken a long time ago. Kieran didn't know how to repair it and had no intention of repairing it.

"you!"

Unknowingly, Amy stamped her foot, turned around and left angrily.

In the kitchen, Mimosa smiled.

He brought out the roasted rabbit specially prepared for Kieran.

"I added some lemon juice."

Mimosa said, holding the plate.

Qin Ran took the plate with a smile, and at this moment, Amy, who had just left, ran back again.

She looked at the rabbit on Kieran's plate, and was stunned for a moment, then said almost subconsciously: "Rabbit is so cute, how can you eat rabbit... It tastes better with chili!"

The fragrance that penetrated her nose made Amy salivate uncontrollably.

The sweet and sour barbecue smell made Amy temporarily forget her reluctance to return.

She stared blankly at the plate of roast rabbit and swallowed her saliva, but neither Kieran nor Mimosa had any intention of paying attention to the other party.

"Do you have any business like this?"

"If you do this business, sooner or later there will be..."

Before Amy could finish saying the word 'bankruptcy', the street light at the door flickered again.

Last night's first guest walked in.

"A bowl of chicken soup."

A dry, hoarse voice sounded.

Kieran handed the chicken soup to the other party.

The other party sipped the chicken soup in small sips.

Kieran ate the roasted rabbit with big mouthfuls.

Mimosa looked at Kieran with a smile.

Amy stood there, always feeling like an outsider, and she was completely ignored.

Amy, who was used to being the center of everyone's attention, became even more angry.

She glared at Kieran.

But that's all she can do.

Because, a few minutes later, when she saw that all the roast rabbit on Kieran's plate was eaten, and there were no bones left, Amy was immediately discouraged.

She shrugged her shoulders and sat there.

"I know I'm not right."

"I shouldn't be drinking, I shouldn't be making trouble here."

"But I don't know where to go."

"I lost my boyfriend, my job, and my best friend. 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 that cannot be forgotten. Time is the best medicine."

"One day you will forget his appearance, voice, and what he said. Maybe not now, but you will definitely be able to in the future."

"Because it's easy to forget."

"If you don't think about it or rush it, you will forget it, just like the sky after fireworks."

"Nothing."

"But food is different. If love begins and ends at 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, having 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 suddenly reacted.

But it's too late.

Kieran put down the chicken soup with his hand.

"Thanks for your patronage, 100."

Kieran said with a smile.

"You are blackmailing!"

Amy stared again, and Kieran pointed at the surveillance camera that was just a decoration.

"Profiteer!"

Amy rephrased.

"Drink the chicken soup while it's hot."

"It won't be good if it gets cold."

Kieran said as he walked towards the outside of the stage.

He was holding something else in his hand.

Moreover, not only the profiteer boss, but also the customer just now disappeared.

Suddenly, the restaurant was deserted.

Amy felt left out again.

“What a service attitude!”

"I will definitely not come here again...it smells so good!"

As Amy spoke, she picked up the chicken soup. After just one sip, Amy's face showed surprise. She almost drank the chicken soup completely with a tilt of her neck.

"Give me another bowl!"

Amy shouted into the kitchen.

"100."

Mimosa came out.

"You... profiteer!"

Amy said through gritted teeth.

But at the next moment, he took out two banknotes and placed them on the bar.

Chicken soup appears again.

Delicious as always.

Amy looked at the mimosa while drinking, her eyes moved and said: "What is your relationship with your boss just now? Are you an apprentice?"

"brother."

Knowing full well what Qin Ran was leaving for, Mimosa answered absentmindedly.

"brother?"

"Nothing like it at all."

"He is cold, but you look very delicate and cute."

"Your finances are controlled by your brother, right?"

"Do you want to get rid of the control of your fierce brother and earn a salary of your own?"

Amy showed what she thought was a sweet smile.

"Working?"

"OK."

Mimosa nodded.

Mimosa really wants to generate revenue and is not doing it in a perfunctory way.

Amy smiled even brighter.

"Come and make me some soup!"

"That's it, I'll give you 50 an hour!"

Amy thought she had given a high price, but Mimosa shook her head seriously: "1,000 an hour."

Amy was startled.

"You fool me?!"

Amy glared at Mimosa.

"No!"

"I'm worth the price!"

Mimosa said seriously.

Even if you have to work part-time, your labor must be consistent. Mimosa has always believed this.

"you!"

Amy pointed at the mimosa, and then suddenly chuckled.

First a chuckle.

Then came laughter.

Rocking back and forth with laughter.

Even, he got angry.

Just fell to the ground.

Then, the opponent expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. A pair of strong arms suddenly stretched out from under the ribs, grabbed the hair, and tore it violently.

Stab it!

It was like peeling off the skin of an eel, revealing the bloody, strong and burly figure belonging to John Deason.

It stared at the mimosa, opened its mouth, and spoke word by word.

"Of course you are worth the price!"

"Little cutie!"

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone, remember to eat mooncakes~
