That's a bit of a convoluted explanation, but Gu Ran figured it out!

He was supposed to go to school that day.

Therefore, Gu Ran should be at school.

The killer must have witnessed him going to the school.

So when the assassin first infiltrated, his only plan was to tie Gu Ran up after school.

But I didn't expect there to be someone in the rented room.

When the assassin discovered someone in the house, he naturally assumed that the person in the house was not Gu Ran, since he was certain that Gu Ran was at school.

The assassin only wanted to kidnap Gu Ran; the lives of the others were irrelevant.

So he simply killed everyone in the house.

Unexpectedly, it was Gu Ran's shadow clone.

The shadow clone was killed, but there was no corpse; it simply vanished into thin air.

The assassin had never seen anything so bizarre, and upon hearing the sounds of another shadow clone in the toilet, he immediately left.

Nono analyzed the killer's personality and said:

"This killer is ruthless. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. As long as his target is alive, he doesn't care about the life or death of other unimportant people."

Gu Ran asked, "Can we track him down?"

“I definitely can’t do it on my own…” Nono stepped out onto the balcony and looked around. “Fortunately, we still have Norma.”

She flipped over and jumped off the balcony, following the killer's escape route, and jumped down the drainpipe.

She was quite skilled, seemingly trained in rock climbing, and easily descended from the fourth floor to the first floor.

Gu Ran could actually jump down.

But in order not to expose too much, he obediently took the stairs.

“There should be a car parked there, either to pick him up or he parked it there himself,” Nono pointed to the flower bed at the entrance of the alley.

"Then... how should we track them down?" Gu Ran asked, puzzled.

“I can’t track it down,” Nono said. “I’ll have to leave it to Norma.”

Gu Ran has not yet officially enrolled in school, does not have his own access card, and cannot use Norma.

But Nono can; she has A-level access.

With Norma's abilities, tracking down a car is quite simple.

However, Norma's computational analysis also takes time.

"Senior, do you think this could be related to a loan shark named Master Luo?"

During a break in Norma's analysis.

Gu Ran recounted the conflict between herself and Luo Erye, the moneylender.

After listening, Nono tried hard to recall.

Suddenly, she remembered something:

"That... the long-haired male driver who reversed on the highway and caused your parents' traffic accident, was his surname Luo?"

At the time, she had reviewed relevant case files and documents because she was investigating the scene of Gu Ran's parents' deaths.

Gu Ran was stunned.

He recalled the information he received at the police station when he first transmigrated, and answered blankly:

"Yes...it really is!"

He was so focused on the funeral and the debts that he completely ignored this point.

"Wait a minute, let me tell Norma about this too, and let her analyze it."

As she spoke, Nono picked up her phone and told Norma everything.

ten minutes later.

Norma, the competent secretary of Kassel College, delivered the results of her investigation and analysis.

Chapter 18 Runde Building

Through a telephone call, the powerful anthropomorphic computer Norma relayed all the analysis results to Nono.

After hanging up the phone, Nono pondered for a moment:

"At first, I was inclined to believe that Master Luo had no connection with this assassin, but now I'm a little uncertain."

"why?"

"Because the car the assassin was driving belonged to a company owned by Master Luo."

Gu Ran immediately remembered that Liu Biao had said before that Master Luo's lair was in the Runde Building.

He certainly knew what made Runde Building special.

"However, Master Luo's identity is quite clean."

"Ok?"

Gu Ran looked at Nuonuo with a puzzled expression.

How clean can the identity of a loan shark be?

Nono explained, "Don't misunderstand, what I mean by innocence is that he is not a mixed-race person. His ancestors for three generations and the two generations after him were not mixed-race people."

She went on to say:

"Master Luo is just a moneylender who often exploits legal loopholes in this city to do shady things. He's not that scary; anyone with a bit of power can easily control him."

Gu Ran asked, "What is the assassin's identity?"

"I don't know. He's very cunning. He hasn't shown his face, and Norma can't find him. Even his current whereabouts are unknown. He might still be at the Runde Building."

Nono continued to explain: "The surveillance cameras in Runde Building are not connected to the network. The security work for the entire building is contracted by a hunter company on the 21st floor, so Norma cannot find the killer's whereabouts at the moment."

She suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, by the way, the investor in your parents' company is actually the Secret Service, so that company is a Secret Service business. Its asset value is enough to cover the debts, so Master Luo won't lose money acquiring those debts. As for his purpose..."

"I've thought of that."

With this analysis, Gu Ran had already figured out why Master Luo was looking for him to collect a debt.

"He wants me to issue a letter of forgiveness, right?"

Nono nodded: "That's right, the long-haired male driver from the Luo family has been formally arrested. If he wants a reduced sentence, he'll need to get a letter of forgiveness from the victim."

Gu Ran nodded.

He hadn't thought of that before.

Now all the information is connected.

Everything suddenly became clear.

Master Luo didn't want to spend money, so he acquired the debts of Gu Ran's parents' company and then demanded repayment from Gu Ran as a creditor, forcing him to issue a letter of understanding.

"However, you cleverly gave up inheriting the estate, and somehow managed to send Master Luo's henchmen to jail. His advisor, Master Zhu, also fled to the United States for instigating crimes and fearing exposure..."

At this point, Nuonuo couldn't help but look at Gu Ran with new respect.

Without any outside help, he handled things quite well on his own.

Gu Ran continued, following the train of thought:

"So he was all alone, so he hired an assassin?"

Nono pondered for a moment:

"It's hard to say. We need to go to Runde Building and ask that Second Master Luo to find out."

……

Runde Building is a twin tower.

Master Luo's lair is on the 18th floor of Building B.

The first five floors of Runde Building are all shopping malls.

It's 9:15 PM now, and the mall will close in 15 minutes.

Gu Ran went to the beauty section on the first floor and bought something while the sales assistant was still there.

Nono looked at the thing in his hand and asked in confusion, "Why did you buy this thing?"

Gu Ran put the things into his pocket and said:

"Didn't you say that the security of this building was contracted out to a group of hunters? I bought this thing to scare people in a critical moment."

Nono hadn't explained to him what a hunter meant at all.

Looking at his expression, she suddenly said:

"It seems your parents violated the secret society's confidentiality agreement and told you quite a lot."

She believed that the knowledge Gu Ran possessed about the underworld came from his parents.

Gu Ran shrugged, offering no explanation.

The two entered Building B of Runde Building and were about to take the elevator up.

The security guard at the gate saw that the two people were young and it wasn't working hours, so he didn't know what they were doing there.

They stopped them.

"What are you doing here so late?" the security guard asked.

Gu Ran said, "Let's go to the 18th floor and find Master Luo."

"Second Master Luo?"

Nono said, "I borrowed money from him."
