Chapter 17
“You got it right!”
When he saw Qin Ran react so intensely, Lu Xin knew the answer immediately.
Being pointed at by a gun was naturally quite frightening, even though he also had one. However, when Lu Xin saw his sister appear beside Qin Ran out of nowhere staring at his head, he was no longer worried. He merely adjusted his sitting position.
“Not me.”
He looked at Qin Ran seriously and said, “I came over to investigate if anything has gone wrong recently.”
Chen Jing sent him over to check if the person named Qin Ran was problematic. However, Lu Xin really didn’t know how to do it.
Therefore, he asked.
Finding the correct method to work could help him save time and be efficient.
“Check if I am problematic?”
Qin Ran’s eyes intensified. He pulled the trigger lock of the gun with his finger and aimed it at Lu Xin’s head.
His eyes looked somewhat sinister. “You’re from the Security Office?”
“No, calm down...”
Lu Xin thought about how to reassure him, but it was uncomfortable to have a gun pointed at his head.
Moreover, Lu Xin could see that, although Qin Ran looked calm, his mental state was terrible. He seemed tense and worried at all times. Moreover, he was holding onto a gun. If he was triggered, he might shoot anytime out of impulse. Therefore, Lu Xin looked towards his sister.
His sister eerily smiled, her face covered by her hair.
She suddenly reached out and flicked Qin Ran’s hand.
Qin Ran was caught off-guard and lost the grip on his gun. The gun fell and flew towards Lu Xin. Lu Xin reached out and caught it, pulled back the trigger lock, and placed it in his bag. Then, he looked up at Qin Ran.
“I’m not investigating you, I’m investigating if you have met any problems recently.”
Qin Ran was drenched with cold sweat. He looked nervously all around but did not see anyone.
Then, he stared at Lu Xin and said with a trembling voice, “How... how did you do that?”
“Stop asking. You won’t be able to do it, anyway!”
“That pack of small bear pills, I took it all back. It was enough for me to earn tens of thousands...”
“Tens of thousands?”
Lu Xin was shocked.
“The focus is on the back!”
Qin Ran looked at him and said, “I directly chopped Old Cui’s body into a few pieces and fed them to wild dogs. I thought the matter would be over, but I didn’t expect a woman to come a day later. I didn’t know her, but she said her name was Cui Wang, and she scolded me for not being moral and asked me to pay for his life. She also made me give up the batch of goods...”
Lu Xin’s expression changed slightly. He was getting interested.
“I don’t even know what this woman is up to, I just thought she was Old Cui’s concubine and killed her too!”
Qin Ran spat and said, “I dumped her body in the cement. Uhm, the newly built scale over there...”
Lu Xin listened expressionlessly.
Qin Ran said, “However, afterward, I felt that something was wrong and asked people to look into the matter. Then, I realized that the woman was Wang Ting, a female worker in a garment factory in the south of the city. She didn’t know Old Cui at all. Don’t you think this is strange?”
Lu Xin could only nod.
“The stranger thing has yet to come...”
Qin Ran’s expression became more fierce as he said, “After that, two days later, two more people came to look for me. One of them was an old man, and the other was 17 or 18 years old, named Huazi. One of them said he was Cui Wang, and the other said she was Wang Ting. Both of them looked for me and asked me to pay for their lives. I was surrounded by so many people, and they fought without saying a word...”
Then, he gestured at his neck and said, “I killed them too!”
“Four people...”
Lu Xin was slightly shocked.
“Then, something gave me an even worse headache...”
Qin Ran said in a low voice, “I had people check the identity of these two guys and found out that they were completely unrelated to Old Cui and the woman named Wang Ting. However, they came. And... and the eeriest thing was... it was...”
As he said that, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. His voice was hoarse. “After four days, four other people came, all of whom I do not know. They... They came into my house and strangled me... Damn, they were like lunatics. One said he was Old Cui, one said he was Wang Ting, one said he was Uncle Zhang, one said he was Wuzi... This is insane, they are all insane. That look in their eyes... so scary...”
Lu Xin was shocked. “Then?”
“I didn’t dare to kill them...”
Qin Ran’s eyes reddened, and he said with a low voice, “I thought it was too spooky, so I locked them up. But...”
He paused and then said in a low voice, “Come with me.”
