I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 61 Su Fan: You invited me, so you invited the right person
Su Fan watched the detective and the old man leave and shook his head.

There is a science to hitting someone, and the first and foremost principle is not to hit those whose status and position are much higher than yours.

Otherwise, if you meet those ruthless people, they may crush the scammers to death if they get angry.

This old man probably investigated Carl's background and knew that his family was not well-off.

It is not easy to join the police station, so one will definitely cherish this hard-earned job and not want things to get out of hand.

Normally, after seeing the video and the appraisal certificate, and bribing the appraiser, Carl would have no choice but to admit defeat.

The so-called three million dollars was just a test of Carl's bottom line.

Later on, this guy would probably change his mind and use some high-sounding reasons to lower the price to a level that Carl could accept.

He performed this set of moves very skillfully, obviously an old hand.

But he didn't expect that Carl was doing very well in the police station because of his personal abilities, and he also caught Su Fan's eye because of the previous incident.

If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. It can only be said that evil will be punished.

When Su Fan stood up, many patrolmen around him smiled and gave him a thumbs-up.

And Carl also came forward and thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you, Sue, for helping me uncover this old liar's tricks."

"It's a small matter, but you just let him go through the normal procedures?"

"Of course not... That guy has a dirty mouth. I will ask someone to treat him well in the interrogation room later."

Carl spoke in a meaningful tone, with a look that said "you know what I mean".

Su Fan felt relieved after hearing this.

There are still a lot of good policemen, so don't let this old Korean go easily.

The show was over and all the police returned to their respective positions.

Scarlett, who was previously obscured by the crowd, now appeared in the sight of the two men.

"Are you here to report a crime?"

Carl, upholding the basic qualities of a good policeman, went to inquire, but was stopped by Su Fan.

"She came to see me."

After hearing this, Carl seemed to understand something and turned away tactfully.

It’s easy to guess what happened to those who came to Su to solve their problems.

That wasn't something he could actively get involved in, so it would be better to give the two of them space to talk.

"Miss Johnson, is it?"

Su Fan took a quick look at the other person.

Scarlett is only about 1.6 meters tall, not as tall as Anne who is 1.7 meters tall, but she is not inferior to the latter in temperament.

For some people, even if they cover their faces, you can still tell they are superior by their clothing style and temperament. Obviously, Scarlett is such a person.

"Yes, Master Sufan."

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go outside."

Su Fan took Scarlett to find an open-air cafe nearby, ordered two cups of coffee, and sat down in the corner.

"I have already discussed with your father what happened to you."

"The passengers who were supposed to die on the plane were lucky enough to survive because of your actions, but were later killed by coincidences created by an unknown force according to the order of their seats."

"You named that unknown force Death, didn't you?"

When Su Fan talked about the god of death, Scarlett felt a chill crawling up her back and she felt uncomfortable.

"I can't find a more appropriate name to refer to it other than the God of Death."

"But rather than saying it's God's will, it's better to say it's fate."

Scarlett smiled bitterly, with a hint of despair in her eyes beneath her sunglasses.

"We are all destined to die, sooner or later, and anyone who tries to escape the punishment of fate will end up in a miserable way."

"There is no need to regard it as the will of fate, Miss Johnson."

Su Fan shook his head slightly.

"There is a saying in Chinese metaphysics, 'There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and only one is hidden by man.' Do you know what it means?"

"There are always exceptions. Even if it is fate, there will be a glimmer of hope for people."

"But this thing you call the 'God of Death' doesn't leave any chance for people to survive. This shows that it is not a god, nor is it the will of fate."

"Don't think of it as too great and invincible." "Things will always turn around."

Although Scarlett didn't fully understand what Su Fan said, she could grasp the general purpose of it.

"You mean, as long as I fight hard, I can defeat the god of death and take control of my life again?"

"No, what I mean is that the Grim Reaper is not that powerful. You've made a good choice by hiring me. You don't have to worry at all when I'm here."

"..."

Su Fan was telling the truth.

During these few days, he discovered some more details about the Grim Reaper's killings.

It can magnify some events with extremely low probability and then combine them to achieve the purpose of killing.

But if that's the case, then being killed by a meteorite is also a possibility, and no one can imagine it, so why haven't we ever seen it used?

Looking at all five Final Destination movies, major accidents are rare and occur at large intervals.

Small accidents occur continuously.

This made Su Fan come up with a guess.

That programmed god of death might consume something every time it takes action...

The larger and more unreasonable the action is, the more intense the consumption will be.

But this is just a guess.

The specific situation still needs to be explored.

If the amulet works, it means he has countless opportunities to try and fail.

All in all, the advantage is mine.

Across the small round table, Scarlett felt quite helpless.

In her impression, Oriental people tend to be introverted, gentle and reserved, and generally will not do things like bragging.

But I didn't expect that the young man opposite would say such words.

But there is nothing wrong with this. Su Fan's confidence seems to be able to infect others, making Scarlett feel a little more relaxed.

Scarlett stretched and when she looked up, her eyes kept moving around.

The afternoon sun became milder and people were walking on the road in groups of three or four.

The child riding on his father's neck was babbling excitedly, and the father jumped lightly from time to time, which attracted a smiling scolding from his wife who was standing behind him.

Fashionably dressed city girls are wearing high heels, answering the phone or chatting with their besties.

When the skateboard boy passes by the crowd, he will occasionally show off his skills to satisfy his desire to perform.

A moist wind blew by, lifting Scarlett's golden hair and making her feel dazed.

How long has it been since you last went outside to enjoy the fresh air?

In fact, it was only three days at most, but it felt as long as three years.

The threat of death and the pure white, narrow bubble room were constantly eroding her spirit.

At this moment, she just wanted to enjoy this hard-earned moment of relaxation.

"Your cappuccino, and ma'am your caramel macchiato."

The waiter put down two cups of coffee and turned to leave.

Scarlett was about to say thank you when the children playing behind her bumped her elbow and she accidentally knocked over the cup in front of her.

The coffee flowed down the table and wet her skirt.

Scarlett stood up subconsciously to prevent the coffee from further staining her skirt, but unexpectedly she knocked over a plastic chair.

On the slightly sloping sidewalk, the chair rolled towards the motor vehicle lane.

Not far away, a pizza delivery guy on a scooter was whistling when he was suddenly startled by a plastic stool that appeared out of nowhere and subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

In a moment of carelessness, the pizza in the takeaway bag at the back of the car flew out...

A strange wind blew in the sky, causing the pizza, which was supposed to fall to the ground immediately, to float a further distance and land on the window of an oncoming truck in the next lane, blocking part of the driver's vision.

The traffic light ahead turned red, and the car that had been waiting for a long time started and appeared on the side of the truck driver.

Seeing that they were about to collide, the latter was so scared that he honked the horn and applied emergency brakes at the same time!
Unexpectedly, this caused the front of the car to lose control and rushed towards the open-air coffee shop on the sidewalk!

Scarlett only saw a huge black shadow looming over her. Before she could react, she was crushed by the huge front of the car, smashing the wall of the shop...
