Chapter 406 Assassination
early morning.
Kieran sat in the living room of the Lutter family mansion, looking at the visitor in front of him.
This is a middle-aged man with rough palms and more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth than the other person's age. Similarly, it is also because he loves to laugh.
In fact, since meeting Qin Ran, the other party's smile has not stopped.
If the other party hadn't introduced his identity as a policeman, Qin Ran would definitely think that the other party was a businessman.
The other party did not have the seriousness of the police in Kieran's perception.
Even the opponent's predecessor, Calkin, was bad to the core, but he was still serious on the surface.
"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency 2567!"
The new sheriff named Luo Du bowed slightly, and then said with a smile.
This is not only polite in terms of words, but even... there is a trace of humility in it.
Qin Ran clearly felt this trace of humbleness.
In other words, what the other party wanted to express: ask for something from him.
Qin Ran thought he was right.
He has seen this look on many people, most of them are his former "workmates". When these workers ask the boss for a salary increase or take a vacation, they mostly look like this.
Qin Ran was curious about what made the other party treat him like this, and a little doubt naturally arose in his heart, but when he looked at the other party, his expression was full of indifference.
Since the initiative is in your own hands, why not wait patiently for the other party to speak out and gain more initiative?
Qin Ran is not a treacherous person.
But this does not mean that he will not seek greater interests for himself.
Especially when he contributes, he must make his efforts worthwhile.
Luo Du looked at Qin Ran who remained calm but did not speak, and moved his body unnaturally to make his sitting posture more humble, before continuing to speak.
"Yesterday, someone seemed to see His Excellency 2567 next to Puke's grocery store!"
"And my people even found a frozen secret room under a burning house!"
"To be honest, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe it, just like what you said last night..."
"Night seed!"
"I never thought that there would be so many man-eating monsters hidden in my subordinates, and each of them is related to some murders and disappearances, and these cases all point to Puke's grocery store!"
"Of course, these are not important!"
"The important thing is that those night species in high positions - before we took action, they were assassinated last night, including our Lord Mayor, Secretary General, Speaker of the House of Commons and my immediate boss! "
After a bunch of obviously unnutritious, just the beginning of the test, Luo Du turned to the topic.
The new police chief looked at Qin Ran while talking.
Those eyes were full of scrutiny.
Its meaning is self-evident.
"You suspect that I made the shot?"
Qin Ran looked at each other without avoiding it.
"no no!"
"how could be?"
"We just want to know more about the night species. It would be great if you could provide us with some information about the assassins!"
"After all, after my people inspected the scene, the conclusion they came to is really... unbelievable!"
"So, I want to ask you, are there any other monsters besides the night species?"
Luo Du repeatedly waved his hands, with a look of panic, but his words were clear.
Qin Ran could even feel that when Luo Du said these words, there was a slight change in his momentum, no longer warm, but sharp.
It's like changing from tofu to a knife.
"Hiding up?"
Qin Ran thought inwardly.
But whatever it is, it has nothing to do with him.
As for monsters other than night species?
Qin Ran didn't intend to hide it either.
Judging from the current camps of the two sides, they are enemies rather than friends.
Since he was an enemy, Kieran didn't mind making things difficult for him.
"Yes, some monsters that I don't know, or..."
"There are so many monsters, I can't even tell them apart!"
"You can go to Lat, he should still have the corpse of the monster that attacked us!"
Qin Ran nodded and said.
"Thank you so much!"
"I have another unfeeling request..."
"Can you survey the scene for us? You must know that although my subordinates are dedicated, they are really laymen, and there may be omissions!"
Rodu begged.
Qin Ran subconsciously refused.
He prefers to stay here and wait for today's newspaper to go public, waiting for news from Herbert.
But the reminder of the side mission that followed made Qin Ran swallow the words that were on his lips.
[Discover side mission: trace]
[Traces: The monsters that are different from the night species have attacked again. They come and go without a trace, making the new police chief Luo Du feel helpless! The sheriff has sent you a request for help, hoping that you can find the trace of the assassin - this is not a difficult task, but it is an opportunity to change the current situation! 】
...
"Change the current situation?"
After pondering for a moment, Qin Ran nodded to Luo Du.
Even though the side quest prompt did not specify what the current situation was, Kieran had his own guess.
Roughly two.
First, he basically doesn't know anything about monsters that are different from night species. This side mission will let him know more.
Second, some news from Herbert.
Moreover, whether it is the first or the second, he will gain the favor of the new sheriff in front of him.
Qin Ran never underestimated the help of a police chief.
Cats have catwalks, mice have rat holes.
No one can guarantee that a seemingly extremely difficult matter will not become easy after changing the direction.
What's more, the high-level leaders of Burr City in front of them are almost completely wiped out.
It looks like a small sheriff in front of him, who knows how far he can reach in the end?
Judging from the positive appearance of the other party, aside from the due responsibility, what would be more?
climb up!
Obtain a higher status than the current status, and the corresponding rights.
Qin Ran was noncommittal about this.
Because, this is human nature.
As long as you are not a legendary saint, you will have all kinds of desires, and because of these desires, you will either work hard, or desire, or... despicable.
As long as he doesn't get lost due to desire, Qin Ran doesn't mind cooperating with the other party.
As for getting lost?
The answer is obvious.
"This is really good!"
Luo Du didn't notice Qin Ran's psychological changes at all. He stood up happily and said excitedly, "Then shall we set off now?"
"Can!"
Since he chose to complete the side mission, Qin Ran had no intention of delaying the time.
After greeting Lat, Kieran boarded Luo Du's carriage.
A carriage much inferior to the opponent's predecessor, Culkin.
Don't say it's luxurious, it's good if it doesn't leak air.
And such a carriage naturally needs no further description.
With a police badge and uniform clearing the way, Qin Ran arrived at the first crime scene: the home of the mayor of Burr City.
"right here!"
Luo Du pushed open the door and said.
Qin Ran frowned.
