Chapter 69(1/2)
Early in the morning, a sudden explosion from Oakken Manor made the city of Atlan, which had just calmed down, become noisy again.
Just ten minutes later, several police cars rushed over.
More than a dozen police officers, led by Director Grey, appeared in Oakken Manor very attentively.
Of course, the director's wagging his tail to Ann Ratridge Oken is not about Qin Ran's business.
It was Qin Ran who read all night and felt the faint pain of his temples again.
Qin Ran, who knew that he would be useless in this state, chose the right rest.
His index fingers gently rubbed his temples, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Breathing calmly seemed to have entered sleep.
However, when a clear sound of footsteps sounded, Qin Ran immediately opened his eyes.
Before Tracy knocked on the door, Qin Ran took the lead in opening the door.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Ran asked straight away.
He had already told him before that he would not bother him if there was nothing important, and that he would go to the kitchen to solve the problem by himself, including three meals.
So, when Ann Ratridge Oakken's female secretary appeared here, something must have happened.
Thinking of the explosion that was born in Oakken Manor, Qin Ran frowned.
“Meyer needs help?”
Qin Ran asked like this.
As the contact time grew longer, Qin Ran had gradually learned about the relationship between Ann Ratridge Oken and that Meyer.
As he guessed, it was also a cooperative relationship similar to him.
Or, to be more precise, an agreement.
But unlike him, the agreement between Meyer and Ann Ratridge Oakken obviously had local restrictions.
Meyer only deals with the matter of being born inside Oakken Manor.
Once you leave Oakan Manor, the other party will never interfere.
Therefore, when he first met Meyer, the other party did not pursue him who had left Oakken Manor in a hurry.
The explosion that just happened was naturally the area that Meyer handled.
Moreover, Qin Ran did not think that Meyer would be unable to handle the incident.
What kind of waves can a group of defeated dogs last wailing?
Looking at the curiosity on Qin Ran's face, the female secretary immediately shook her head.
"Your Excellency Meyer does not need help. It is the boss who asked you to come over... about Sheriff Teresa."
For Meyer, the female secretary is respectful in her heart.
Similarly, the female secretary did not neglect the situation with Qin Ran.
He bowed slightly behind him and reported truthfully.
"Tressa?"
Qin Ran subconsciously thought of the alarm that shouldn't have appeared last night.
Then, he nodded to the female secretary.
Teresa, who can be called an acquaintance, would naturally not mind helping him if he could help him.
Following the female secretary, Qin Ran came to the restaurant with a familiarity.
The sun shines in from the floor-to-ceiling windows that are over 15 meters long and over 4 meters high, shining on the white tablecloth. The rich food fills the entire table, radiating an attractive light in the sun.
Ann Ratridge Oken, who became the most powerful person in Atlan City overnight, sat in a high-back chair, and seemed to have no interest in the rich food. He was listening attentively to Director Grey's report.
When Qin Ran walked into the restaurant, the director immediately stopped talking.
Ann Ratridge Oken turned slightly in the seat, facing Qin Ran, and asked with a smile.
“What breakfast is needed?”
There was no sign of strangeness in the expression on Ann Ratridge Oken's face.
But Qin Ran could see that the lady in front of him was angry.
Otherwise, with the other person's personality, he would have been posted at this time.
Qin Ran looked at Director Ge Rui on the side.
His face was bruised and swollen, and bandages were placed on the bridge of his nose, and the remaining blood scabs formed a irregular shoe print.
Qin Ran is really familiar with this shoe print.
Teresa!
Qin Ran, who had acted at the same time as the female sheriff, was extremely sure where the shoe prints on the director's face came from.
"As always hot temper!"
Qin Ran commented in his heart.
Then he looked at Ann Ratridge Oken.
Ann Ratridge Oakan's eyes did not dodge, but were still smiling, as if waiting for his answer.
This made Qin Ran sigh from the bottom of his heart.
Although Qin Ran was sure that the female sheriff would figure out the consequences when she took action, the other party certainly did not expect that doing so would become one of the ways An Ratridge Oaken tests him.
Ann Ratridge Oakken is a cautious, suspicious and intelligent woman.
Qin Ran has never denied this.
It was as if he never thought he was so clever last night that he could hide it from everyone.
An Ratridge Oken, who planned the whole process, found some clues, which were also expected by Qin Ran.
And Qin Ran naturally had a response.
This is true whether or not Tresha was born and brought a large number of police officers to suddenly intervene in this matter.
However, after his eyes swept across the dining table, Qin Ran gave up his original words.
He found something more convincing.
"Is this your favorite wine?"
Qin Ran slowly walked to Ann Ratridge Oken, and raised his hand and picked up the goblet placed in front of the other side.
In the wine glass, the sweet and rotten smell of white wine is fragrant.
Covering a trace of strangeness.
Ordinary people will never notice the strangeness, but it is obvious to Qin Ran, who has a master-level [medical and pharmaceutical knowledge].
"That's right!"
Ann Ratridge Oken answered very simply, but the expression on his face changed a little.
A smart enough Ann Ratridge Oakken guessed something from the actions and behaviors of Kirnon.
But, she was not panicked.
In her mind, she had quickly sorted out the process of why this glass of wine appeared in front of her in a grand manner.
Naturally, several suspects also appeared in their hearts.
And her faint dissatisfaction with Qin Ran and some temptations were also left behind.
Ann Ratridge Oakken knew very well what attitude he should use when facing Qin Ran who saved him again.
"It seems that after having some fixed habits, it will always give others an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Ann Ratridge Oaken sighed and stood up from the seat.
She seemed to be a flower swaying in the wind, and when she looked at Qin Ran, she was even more affectionate.
"But I'm used to being by your side!"
"What should you do if you ask me again?"
"I smelled the breath of death, but I flew into the flames..."
While speaking, Ann Ratridge Oken raised his hand and hugged Qin Ran again.
Just like several times before.
Qin Ran avoided it without a trace again.
"With such acting time, you should look up those guys who are still hiding. I would like to remind you that Meyer was induced to be a random guess by the other party."
Qin Ran looked at An Ratridge Oken, who had a grievance in his face, and said slowly.
