Chapter 170 Whereabouts
Finx headed to Alcatel Island? !
After hearing the words of the man in front of him, Qin Ran thought subconsciously.
However, he did not draw conclusions lightly.
Qin Ran asked, "What happened?"
"Those guys who went out independently sent a message three days ago saying that they will have a peace talk with Dr. Finks to completely resolve the disputes within the organization!"
"Most of us think it's the other side's trap!"
"But Dr. Funks thinks this is an opportunity for a peaceful settlement, so..."
As he spoke, the other party smiled wryly.
"So, he went?"
Qin Ran continued.
"Yes, Dr. Finks left the organization's base three days ago!"
"And there has been no news for three days!"
The other party nodded.
"Then how did you find it here?"
Qin Ran looked at the other party with scrutiny in his eyes.
No. 1 Black Street, although it is not a hidden place, it is not something ordinary people can find.
Moreover, since Qin Ran didn't know much about Finks, the other party would not be such a person who actively involved others in trouble.
"It's Dr. Funks' advice."
"Of course, he only hopes that if he can't return, you can help him continue to take care of those poor people instead of rescuing him..."
"But we hope you can save Dr. Funks!"
The other party explained.
Then, he suddenly remembered something and let out an exclamation.
"Oh, I'm Boyle, it's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency 2567!"
Boyle introduced himself in embarrassment.
"I am glad to meet you too!"
"Can you wait a moment?"
Qin Ran said.
"You agreed?"
Boyle looked at Qin Ran, and when he saw Qin Ran nodding, he happily followed behind the ghost butler, went to the reception room and waited quietly.
"Your promise was reckless."
"It's just that Boyle's one-sided statement. No one can be sure if it's a trap!"
"I suggest you contact that Dr. Funks!"
Simmons reminded kindly.
"That's why I asked him to wait!"
Kieran responded to Simmons' kindness with a smile.
When parting with Finks before, the other party left a phone number for communication between the two parties.
However, the phone in front of him was not connected.
Three times in a row, each time a busy tone.
Qin Ran frowned.
He dialed a phone number again.
"What's wrong, 2567?"
Shi Qi's voice came from the receiver.
Even through the phone, Kieran could feel the noise from the other side.
After thinking about the 'subordinates' assigned to Shi Qi by Shi Qi's immediate superior, Qin Ran decided not to ask too many questions, but to get straight to the point.
"I'm having a little trouble..."
"Has there been any unusual events in the last three days?"
Qin Ran finally asked.
Qin Ran believed that even though Finks went there with the idea of a peaceful solution, if something life-threatening happened, the other party would definitely not sit still.
Although it is not clear, Finx's strength at the moment.
But Qin Ran can be sure that there will be quite a commotion.
And as long as there is such a movement, Shi Qi, the leader of the city's special operations team, will definitely know.
"No!"
"The last three days are rare days without any abnormal events!"
"However, I'd rather be busy every day... Bastard, that's hot coffee, so I can't water the potted plants!"
Shi Qi's roar was full of anger and helplessness.
"Thanks, Shi Qi!"
"If you can't fire them, I suggest you give them another independent space!"
After giving a suggestion, Qin Ran hung up the phone.
No exception occurred?
Finx's phone couldn't get through.
Could it be that Finks was caught off guard and killed when they met, and the other party concealed everything very well afterwards?
Or something else happened?
Or is Boyle lying?
After Qin Ran frowned and thought for a moment, he greeted Simmons and walked towards the reception room.
He was ready to find out for himself.
At this time, Qin Ran very much hoped that Nikelle would be by his side. The other party only needed to 'look' to know the cause and effect of the matter.
There is no need for such a risk.
It's a pity that after the other party left, the phone was always in a state of being unable to get through.
Simmons waved his hand at Kieran, but did not stop him.
His reminder is already the best help.
He believed that with Kieran's cautious and careful character, he would know what to do.
...
Under Boyle's guidance, Kieran drove to a block away from the city center.
This is the headquarters of Finx after he took over He Qi Xie.
Of course, the headquarters of He Qi Xie Sect was also here.
When entering this block, Kieran felt as if he had entered another world from one world.
The houses here are old, and there are almost no large supermarkets and shopping malls, and there are very few pedestrians in broad daylight.
The only few small convenience stores are empty.
But even so, the cashiers in these small convenience stores all carried guns with them, and Kieran could clearly see the outline of the gun handles on the back waist of these cashiers.
From the beginning to the end, Kieran only saw a police car patrolling outside the block.
Moreover, the police car did not drive into the block, but only turned around at the intersection of the street before leaving.
What was even more unbearable was that the whole block was filled with a strange stench.
Anyone who smells it can't help but stop breathing.
Even Qin Ran who was sitting in the car frowned when he smelled that smell.
"poverty!"
“Poor law and order!”
Qin Ran intuitively came up with two impressions.
However, Qin Ran did not have any surprises, and even took it for granted.
‘The malice brought about by poverty is the best soil for the development of a sect. '
This is not Qin Ran's own comprehension.
Instead, I saw in Nikelle's book collection "Sacred Stone Cult", the author is "White Ray" who wrote "Summary of Supernatural Events on the West Coast (Er 990 years ago)".
"Sacred Stone Sect" mainly introduces the origin, development and collapse of this sect.
And some comments and sentiments of the author.
Among them, "the malice brought by poverty is the best soil for the development of a sect." ’ This sentence can be said to be fresh in Qin Ran’s memory.
And what he saw and felt in front of him made Qin Ran's memory even deeper.
"Turn right ahead, second house!"
Boyle pointed to a two-story building with a mottled white exterior.
The fence outside the building is a bit shorter, and you can drive directly into it. There are tires and various footprints on the lawn that has not been taken care of for a long time.
Apparently, it was being used as a parking lot.
"Follow me, Your Excellency 2567!"
As Boyle spoke, he jumped out of the car and walked toward the building.
Qin Ran followed, and involuntarily raised his vigilance.
If Boyle is malicious, the opponent's best time to ambush is right now.
But nothing happened until Boyle opened the door, Kieran entered, and saw those poor people who were suffering the 'backlash from casting spells'.
There were no assaults, and no accidents.
After confirming safety again and again, Kieran turned his attention to the poor people in front of him.
There are five people.
The five are all young, supposed to be teenagers in school, but now they can only sit there stupidly or sluggishly, talking to themselves non-stop.
Except that they are not afraid of strangers, the five teenagers have almost the same symptoms as Rock.
And this made Qin Ran conclude that the five people were indeed poor people suffering from the 'backlash from casting spells'.
"The clothes are clean, the face and hair are neat."
"Finks is taking good care of them!"
After a little scrutiny, Qin Ran came to this conclusion.
"We need to bring them back to No. 1 Black Street first!"
Qin Ran said to Boyle beside him.
"Okay, that's what Dr. Funks meant in itself!"
"But Dr. Finks himself..."
Boyle didn't object, but he still had concerns about Finks.
"Don't worry, I promise that after I settle them down, I will try my best to find Finx!"
Qin Ran said.
This wasn't just Qin Ran's simple comfort to the other party.
He really wanted to find Finks.
Until the doubts are solved, Kieran's doubts about Finx will not decrease.
Even if you saw the scene in front of you, it was the same.
Even Qin Ran had more guesses.
"If everything in front of me is acting, Funks will definitely appear!"
"Or, leave me an extremely conspicuous clue!"
"But why did he do this?"
"Just to return to Alcatel Island?"
"With the Dark Star Society on Alcatel Island, even if we return, what can we do?"
With this puzzled question in mind, Kieran began to help Boyle bring the five 'caster backlash' young men back to the next door to No. 1 Black Street.
Qin Ran is Nikailei's assistant, that's right.
But without Nicolei's permission, he would not bring other people into No. 1 Black Street at will.
Not only is the relationship between the two of them not close to that level, but also, this is the proper upbringing.
With enough money as a support, Qin Ran easily obtained the right to use the house at No. 2 Black Street, and hired several reliable nannies to take care of the daily life of the five young people who suffered from "spell backlash".
Successfully arranged for Boyle et al.
However, Qin Ran's search for Finks was extremely difficult.
Finks didn't show up.
Nor did he leave any conspicuous clues.
Even at the place where the two parties agreed to meet, Qin Ran did not find any more traces.
For a whole week, Kieran searched for nothing.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Qin Ran couldn't help doubting his guess.
