The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 695 Better Arrangements

Teresa took Qin Ran straight to the police station in Altland City.

Of course, not into the main building.

It is an independent three-story building behind the main building.

On the right side of the gate of the small building, there is a very inconspicuous sign: Non-staff Forensics Section.

"You don't have much time, about 10 minutes or so...or less."

Saying so, the sheriff pushed open the door and walked in.

Qin Ran followed closely behind.

Behind the door is a long and narrow hall. The doors appear on both sides. Except for the windows at the end, it is difficult for light to come in. The already remote small building suddenly feels a little more gloomy.

But neither the female police chief nor Qin Ran took this eerie feeling to heart at all.

The two walked in stride.

Soon came to the negative floor.

"Hey Teresa, morning!"

A middle-aged man in a white coat waved at the sheriff, and without looking at Qin Ran, he said directly, "Is it because of the Winchester House case?"

"Besides that, is there anything else?"

"Give me 10 minutes."

The female sheriff said very bluntly.

"The attitude of begging for help shouldn't be like this...Forget it, I'm even more afraid of your 'begging' appearance—10 minutes, at most 10 minutes."

"I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

The middle-aged man shrugged helplessly.

Then, he just stood up and walked towards the first floor.

The female sheriff walked to the morgue behind.

The appearance of the two cooperating tacitly is obviously not the first time they have done this.

Perhaps, seeing the surprise in Qin Ran's eyes, the female police chief couldn't help explaining: "He encountered a big trouble two years ago, and I helped him out. Get out of the house, so we have friendship."

"Then 'begging for help'?"

Qin Ran was very curious about this.

"Break each other's teeth, or break off one of the other's fingers."

The sheriff said calmly.

"It's really an ingenious way of 'begging for help'."

Qin Ran commented.

He didn't suspect that the sheriff was exaggerating, because, according to the sheriff's temper, it was really too easy to do this to such a degree when encountering certain things.

As for the method that does not conform to the identity of the police?

The undercover career has already given the female sheriff a different way of doing things than ordinary police.

Just like now.

Once inside the morgue, the female sheriff opened the morgue marked as the Winchester House bombing.

"Because of the explosion and violent combustion, we still can't tell who they are."

Opening the body bag, the female police chief pointed to the five scorched corpses that were curled up and completely inhuman and said.

Qin Ran naturally does not have the ability to distinguish.

Under the intense burning, the five scorched corpses not only changed beyond recognition, but also shrunk to the size of a child, but one corpse was very strange.

There was a large hole in the left chest.

The kind that pierces the front and back.

The burning surface of the wound is natural, and such a wound is not pulled out after death.

"This is the most peculiar of the five corpses, and it is also the worst one - the heart was dug out before he was alive, that guy must hate him to the bone."

The sheriff said so.

"yes."

Qin Ran nodded, but his heart turned rapidly.

"The heart was dug out?"

This result was beyond Qin Ran's expectations.

According to Qin Ran's speculation, "he" as the "arbiter" should leave this decisive evidence.

unless……

"Is there a better arrangement?"

"An even more direct evidence than the 'enforcer' seeing the heart...what would it be?"

New doubts once again appeared in Qin Ran's heart.

This made Qin Ran stand there thinking for a long time.

But without any valuable information, Qin Ran naturally got nothing.

"While we shouldn't rush you, we don't have much time."

The female police chief reminded Qin Ran.

"enough!"

"In such a situation, I don't even know who to express my condolences to!"

Qin Ran looked at the charred corpses with a wry smile.

However, even though he said so, before leaving, Kieran still bowed to the deceased.

This is due respect for disturbing the dead.

As for apologies to the dead?

Qin Ran didn't have any.

Although according to the description of the task, he and him as the 'arbiter' are one person.

But Qin Ran would not really treat the other party as himself.

Not only because of the awkward feeling of treating a non-existent person as himself, but also because Qin Ran knows very well that if he really treats the other person as himself and is responsible for everything the other person does, then His chances of being exposed will increase linearly.

He is now a patient with 'amnesia'.

After greeting the forensic doctor, Qin Ran walked out of the police station side by side with the female police chief.

"Where are you going?"

asked the sheriff.

"Where you met me—someone suggested that I should walk around there more, maybe the lost memory will appear!"

Qin Ran was joking, and then asked a seemingly unintentional question.

"Where's Boskin?"

"Go investigate that university professor!"

"Professor Harold is more complicated than we imagined. He not only serves as a professor of archeology at Utah State University, but also organizes a society called 'Greven' in the school-I can't understand it at all. In the written materials, I found more information about this secret society, so I sent Boskin to Utah State University."

The sheriff answered truthfully.

Greven?

Qin Ran murmured in his heart.

He seems to have seen this name in a book.

But I can't remember exactly which one.

However, one thing is certain, that Professor Harold must be linked to the mysterious side.

Because, Kieran can be sure that Greven did not come from those medical books.

During the rest of the journey, Kieran consciously brought the topic to Professor Harold, until the sheriff sent him back to the place where he got into the car.

"Please!"

The female police chief threw a kraft paper bag in the back seat to Qin Zong, and immediately sped away.

It's two sandwiches and a bag of milk.

Although it has cooled, it is definitely not overnight.

It should have been bought before I found him.

Holding the kraft paper bag containing food, Kieran couldn't help laughing as he thought of the stern voice the female police chief had just appeared.

"What a dishonest person."

After sighing softly, Qin Ran took out a sandwich and ate it while walking, continuing his search that was interrupted before.

Different from the quiet morning hours before, the people on the street are already busy at this moment.

The shops opened one after another, the crowds were constantly flowing, the roads were congested by cars, and the whole city of Atlanta seemed to wake up from sleep.

Standing on the busy street, Kieran judged the direction to go based on the map in his mind.

About half an hour later, when Qin Ran glanced over a certain building, he stopped abruptly.
