Chapter 70 The Dock Union
Xiu has been in the bounty hunter industry for a long time. Many things are not required to be brain-free and can directly respond to them.
As soon as she saw the customer coming in was nearly two meters tall, she instinctively lowered her head and continued to eat pork sausage and French fries without anything happening.
The food entered her mouth, but Xiu couldn't taste any taste. She endured it for dozens of seconds before slowly looking up and pretending to look around casually.
Soon, she saw the customer who had just come in sitting in front of the bar, waiting for wine and lunch.
Her soft and slightly curly yellow hair, her beast-like dark brown eyes, slightly drooping corners of her mouth, and her introverted and ferocious temperament... Details reflected in Xiu's pupils, gradually overlapping with the image in her mind.
It's him!
It's the person who is suspected to be the murderer!
The murderer who killed Williams!
Hugh buried his head again and slowly stuffed the remaining food into his mouth.
After several minutes, she put the plate and the wine glass on the bar, then left the Workers' Union Tavern without looking back.
Because the boots were much higher, she effectively covered up the most obvious features.
When I got outside, I took a break and found a secluded location nearby to observe the people entering and leaving the tavern.
After waiting for a while, she finally found an acquaintance, Burton, a skilled worker living in East Bayron Dock.
This young man likes to give himself a glass of inferior rye beer at noon or afternoon, and his salary can only be paid for this beer and cannot drink it every day.
Xiu jumped over quickly, patted Burton on the shoulder, and lowered his voice:
"It's me, please."
"Hu?" Burton looked up and down at the short man behind the side, almost not recognizing that this was Hugh Deercha, a famous "arbitrator" in some streets in the East District.
"I have something to ask you." Xiu pointed to the corner next to him.
Burton followed in confusion, and asked suddenly when he arrived at the hidden place:
"Are you doing a reward mission?"
He heard that Xiu was also a bounty hunter.
"Yeah." Xiu nodded perfunctorily, took out five 1pc copper coins, threw them away, "Do you know the tall man in the tavern?"
"You mean the one with such a tall, yellowish-haired, very fierce?" Burton gestured.
"Yes." Xiu immediately took out the folded portrait and expanded, "You must confirm completely."
"It's him. He often comes to the tavern here in the past two or three months. I haven't seen him before. He is very fierce and unreasonable. He fights very well. You'd better not mess with him." Burton glanced at the portrait carefully and advised sincerely.
Well, I just saw that person, like when I was a child, I met a beast, and it felt very dangerous, not an opponent, and had to avoid it immediately... Xiu secretly breathed and asked:
"Do you know who he has a close contact with?"
"I don't know, he is very unsociable and rarely speaks. No one even knows what he is called. We gave him a nickname called 'Giant'." Burton curled his lips and shook his head.
Don't think about it and ask again:
"Where have you met him besides the tavern?"
"You can ask your friends the same question, remember, you must be a trustworthy friend."
Burton recalled:
"When I went to the Dock Union to do business, well, right at the Dock Union at the Dock Union at the East Bailang Dock, I occasionally saw him appearing around, Hug, why are you not a union? You are so fair, and those guys not only charge us 1.5 Suller's dues a week, but when other docks strike and we have to support our families, they also make us pay half of our salary!"
"Lord, forget it all. For a good life, we must help each other. However, as soon as they organized a strike, they came back and agreed with the lawyers sent by the rich. Our situation did not improve at all!"
"Stop, stop." Xiu pressed his right palm and said, "Apart from that, have you never seen that 'giant' anywhere else?"
"No, my friends probably don't, after all, we often discuss him privately." Burton answered in a very affirmative tone.
Xiu didn't say much, and gave the five copper pennies to the other party:
"Please drink."
"You don't tell anyone what I just asked, it's very dangerous."
Before she finished speaking, she had turned around and walked out of the corner and headed towards the dock of the Dock at Dongbailang Dock.
Ten minutes later, Xu saw the two-story yellow building.
She put on the canvas jacket on her body, revealing the patches inside, instantly turning from a short worker to a homeless man.
Looking at the vagabonds curled up in the corner of the street, Xiu pinched his nose and sat with them, his eyes intermittently swept across the dock opposite when someone was in and out.
Time passed by minute by minute, I waited for the cold wind, endured the harsh environment, and observed the conditions of the dock union and surrounding areas unremittingly.
She clearly remembered Williams' persistence in drinking, and even more so when she saw the newspaper that day.
This mood made her more patient than ever.
At this time, seven or eight people came out of the dock union, and they went to the cafe opposite to prepare for lunch.
Don't squint your eyes and carefully scanned every passerby to confirm their appearance.
There are no suspicious people... don't prepare to withdraw your gaze and wait for the next batch.
As the cafe door was opened, the heat flow inside suddenly rushed out, and a man couldn't help but take off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped the mist with his cuffs.
Xiu glanced casually, and his eyes suddenly frozen:
Those eyes!
That corner of the mouth!
Always have a sarcastic image!
Ranrus Hug suddenly turned around and dared not look again.
The man just now had a short and thick skin, a sharp edge and angular face, which was very different from the appearance in the portrait, only those eyes and corners of his mouth gave her a familiar feeling.
Mocking everyone's feelings!
Is it Lynn? Could it be Lynnnnnn? Hugh buried his head and stared at the stone slabs on the street.
…………
Summer's home.
After a hearty lunch, the host and guests gathered in the living room to chat and agreed to play Texas together.
Some funny rumors and funny stories echoed intermittently, and Klein kept smiling, interrupting from time to time, and saw two children from the Summer family lively coming in and out.
And Jurgen Cooper next to him still had a serious expression, occasionally providing legal advice for everyone's discussions.
Klein smiled, leaned his body slightly, and asked in a low voice:
"Will you feel bored?"
"No, their topic is interesting." Jurgen nodded seriously.
Klein was stunned and blurted out:
"Then why don't you laugh?"
Jurgen frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion:
"Why do you want to laugh?"
"..." Klein's mouth twitched for a moment, but he didn't know how to respond.
He was about to make a joke that the other party looked very much like his cat Brody, who was always so serious, but suddenly there was an illusory layered prayer in his ears.
Female... Miss "Justice" found useful information so quickly based on the clues I provided? Klein stood up and bowed slightly and said:
"I'll go to the bathroom."
After entering the bathroom, Klein locked the door, walked four steps backwards, and entered the gray fog.
His judgment was very accurate, and the prayer came from Miss "Justice".
Klein suddenly became a little nervous, half expecting and half solemnly spreading out his spirituality and listening to the other person's words.
After the usual name, "justice" truthfully described it:
"They found the clues you provided at the Workers' Union Tavern in East Bailang Dock in the dock area, the nickname of the other party is 'Giant'."
"Following the 'giants' pattern, they found people suspected of Ranrus at the dock union in East Bailang Dock, but they could not confirm."
"They dare not contact Lanceus for the time being, because the 'giant' is very powerful and dangerous, so they can only continue to wait for opportunities."
"They also asked if they could notify the police department and receive a reward after confirming that it was Lanerus?"
Ranrus has a very powerful and dangerous helper... Does he have any other helper? Is there a certain force behind him? Why is it so extreme that he killed people? What is he planning in the dock union? A series of questions flashed into Klein's mind, making him feel that things were much more complicated than expected and filled with fog.
As for the last request, his answer was undoubtedly agreeing, and he would even suggest that the other party inform the Goddess of the Night directly because there is a possibility of leaks in the police department.
Letting the night-time attendant of the Goddess Church kill Lanceus is also considered revenge! Klein silently said to himself, and had a strong impulse to confirm whether the person was Lanceus immediately, so as not to wait too long and there would be variables.
He took a breath, suppressed his emotions, and relieved the spiritual sway of his cuffs.
"Go to the dock union to confirm that the matter of Ranhös is in danger."
After closing his eyes and chanting them silently for seven times, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the citrine pendant, and found that it was motionless and completely still.
Divination failed? Klein immediately frowned.
He changed his sentence and changed his divination method, but the result was still a failure.
After careful consideration, he found three reasons: one is that there is insufficient information and cannot divinate; the other is that there is no Läus at all, and divination is difficult to establish; the third is that Läus is like Ins Zangwell, which has items that can block divination.
The items that blocked divination... the benefits he gained from the ritual of that Son of God? The little divinity of the "real creator"? Klein pondered for a few seconds and decided that he would have to go to the dock union to lie down no matter what.
Some things, even though you know the danger, you still have to do it!
Both ladies could observe secretly and not be discovered, so I could... I only need to meet with Ranerus once to confirm with divination...
Of course, this is not reckless. I must be prepared in advance, for example, sending the "Eye of All Black" to the fog and not carrying it with you, so as not to resonate with the spiritual pollution of the "Real Creator" with His divinity, for example, raising yourself so that the "giant" cannot recognize me from his figure that I am the guy who "passed by" last night, for example, finding a suitable and sufficient reason that is not suspicious, well, you can pretend to be a reporter to interview, and I will find Mike Joseph to borrow his fake reporter certificate later...
Klein's mouth slowly curled up, covering himself with spirituality, and fell back to the real world.
