Chapter 235 Guess

Qin Ran pushed the door open and entered, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the room.

On one side were three men with sloppy clothes, unkind faces and fierce eyes standing in the middle of the study.

On the other side was an old man with gray hair.

The old man was wearing a linen jacket, with a pair of glasses hanging on his chest, and was sitting behind the desk.

Seeing Qin Ran walking in, the old man subconsciously stood up and was about to say something.

However, some people are much faster than the old man.

"Who are you?"

"I advise you not to meddle in your own business!"

The strongest of the three men turned around, looked at Qin Ran and spoke.

The tone was full of threats.

But in Qin Ran's eyes, the other party was ruthless.

The other party seemed to be physically strong, but there were no calluses on the palms, whether it was the palm or the fingertips, and as he walked into this room, the position of the other party, including the two subordinates of the other party, never changed! Even now, she is still looking at him sideways.

All this shows that the other three are just 'laymen'.

Perhaps, relying on a strong body to bully ordinary people.

Thinking about Herbert's 'evaluation' of the three of them before, Kieran already had an idea in his mind.

The footsteps did not stop.

Naturally ignoring the other party's threats, Kieran walked towards Herbert.

"asshole!"

"I want you to know how powerful Boss Ollie is!"

It was still the strongest opening among the other three.

Then, the three of them rushed straight towards Qin Ran.

"careful!"

Herbert behind the desk reminded Qin Ran loudly, but before the scholar finished speaking, three figures rushing towards Qin Ran flew back at a faster speed and hit the ground heavily. on one side of the wall.

boom!

Crack, crack, crack!

Amidst the dull sound, a few books on the side bookshelf fell to the ground due to the vibration caused by the impact.

The three people who suffered the impact fell into a coma completely.

The whole process was lightning-fast.

Herbert didn't see what happened at all.

Even Herbert, who is well-informed, couldn't help looking at Qin Ran in surprise at this moment.

Under Herbert's gaze, Kieran walked over, picked up the books, and put them back one by one—although he had tried his best to control the angle and strength of his kicks.

But avoiding the bookshelf, but not avoiding the vibration of the wall.

After finishing all this, Qin Ran turned around and looked at Herbert with a smile on his face.

"Although the trip to Aesop's ancient city hasn't started yet, I don't think you, Herbert, would mind if I perform my duties as a guard in advance."

According to the tone in the simple memory given by the system, Qin Ran said slowly.

"certainly!"

"Pier is not here, your appearance really helped me a lot!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really break two ribs!"

Herbert was joking.

It is not as serious as a "scholar" in the impression of ordinary people.

However, the thick notes on the other party's desk and the collection of books around it showed that the other party would not be ashamed of this title.

Of course, what Kieran cared more about was Pierre in Herbert's mouth.

According to his simple recollection, Peale was a very reliable person who played the roles of Herbert's housekeeper, servant, bodyguard, cook, etc.

Herbert's life was well organized by the other party.

To put it simply, if something important hadn't happened, the other party would definitely be close to Herbert.

"May I ask, where is Butler Peel?"

Qin Ran asked seemingly casually.

"For this trip to the ancient city of Aesop, I have to raise more funds!"

"And a donation from the Burr City Government needs Peale to accept it on my behalf. If I hadn't been unable to spare, I would definitely go in person-this sum is too important to me!"

"Not only the cost of various tools, but also the cost of hiring guards, all of which need this money!"

"In fact, I have sent invitations to many bounty hunters and mercenaries who have become famous, but except for 2567 you, no one can accept the price I offered."

"That's why I will publish the news in the newspaper!"

Qin Ran's previous behavior won Herbert's favor, and the scholar did not hide it, and explained the reasons to Qin Ran in detail.

"I see!"

Qin Ran nodded.

But there is doubt in my heart.

"Such a coincidence?"

"As soon as Peel left Herbert's side, these guys appeared?"

"Moreover, the news published in the newspaper was only sent out this morning. Even if the news spreads, it will take a day or two!"

"It shouldn't be so fast!"

Qin Ran's eyes subconsciously swept across the three unconscious people.

Especially the other party's clothes.

There was no discriminatory meaning, but Qin Ran doubted whether the three could read or not.

If you don't even know how to read, let alone read newspapers.

That is to say, putting aside the real coincidence...

"The three guys in front of me have already known about Pierre's itinerary!"

"And the one who can confirm Peel's itinerary..."

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

Immediately there were some more guesses.

However, he still needs to prove it.

"Herbert, before the police come, I want to interrogate the three of them!"

"By the way, can I come to your place to read before leaving?"

Qin Ran pointed to the three people on the ground, and at the same time, he did not forget his original intention.

"OK!"

"We need to report the crime, and the police will show up!"

"And a few of my students can come at least after dark to help us complete this matter!"

"So, 2567, you have enough time!"

Herbert didn't object, and even reminded Qin Ran.

Obviously, no one who can become a scholar is stupid, and Herbert was also puzzled by the coincidence of the three.

Qin Ran nodded and walked towards the three of them.

...

basement.

It was originally a place to store some vegetables and food for the winter, but it was simply transformed into an interrogation room by Qin Ran at this moment: a two-finger-thick hemp rope wrapped around the wrists and ankles of the three people in the way of binding animals. , and finally bypassed the beams and hoisted the three of them.

A bucket of water was poured on the heads of the three men.

Wow!

"asshole!"

"Damn it, who is it?"

"I'm going to smash all your teeth!"

As the cold water poured down, the three comatose guys woke up.

The three of them didn't see the situation in front of them clearly, and yelled straight away. They didn't stop talking until they saw Qin Ran standing in front of him without any fluctuation in his gaze.

In the previous scene, the impression of the three of them was really deep.

Knocked down without even reacting.

Even a fool knows that when he meets someone he cannot mess with.

And the three people in front of them are not fools.

"Say it!"

"Who sent you here?"

Qin Ran said lightly.

Immediately, the three people in front of them glanced at each other and fell silent.

"There is indeed a problem!"

Qin Ran thought to himself.

Although the three of them didn't say anything, their expressions said everything.

that's enough!

It was not a problem for Qin Ran to pry open the mouths of the three of them.

After all, the three of them did not look like strong-willed people.

boom!

But just when Qin Ran was about to ask the truth, a huge explosion sounded from above, and the strong vibration made the whole basement shake.

Herbert!

Qin Ran's heart shuddered.
