Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 459 Thirty-six. Old Rum Tavern

  The more urgent Richard is, the more advantage Lu Li has.

  Sensitive, intelligent, irritable and neurotic. This was the label Lu Li had put on Richard for a brief period of time. The former is an advantage, the latter a disadvantage.

   is also a point that Lu Li can use.

  As Anna said, he won't sit back and watch the **** tentacles be eliminated one by one, this is the best time for Lu Li to force him out.

   After staying in the detective agency for a while, Lu Li and the invisible Anna went to the market and only bought one more sea fish than the last time, but it was nearly twice the price.

   Back at the detective agency, Anna got into the kitchen to prepare food for Lu Li and Black Cat. After Lu Li went to his desk, he picked up the phone to contact the investigator base, and got the news that Tesla had entered the shelter.

   But Lu Li didn't come for this. He asked the base for all the clues about Richard's arrest. Ten minutes later, the police station delivered the sorted files.

   It records Richard's past and the place where he last appeared.

  Richard has no surname. Like the Oliver brothers and sisters, he was born on the streets. He once joined the gang Black Viper, Old Rum and Bluegraf. The two gangs before and after have been destroyed by the gang struggle, only the old Rum gang survived, and it was also the gang that Richard stayed the longest and closest to the present.

The    police station believed that Richard still had contact with the Old Rum Gang, but was denied by the leader. They say Richard left the slums and Belfast on his own initiative three years ago, and went to Watchtown on the back of the hill by himself.

   This is consistent with the information of the police investigation, where he seems to have provoked the wrong person and was severely injured. He also injured his brain and had mental problems, and was sent to a lunatic asylum in the suburbs.

  Richard was clearly not crazy - at least not completely.

  The information during the madhouse is blank, the madhouse has been closed for so long, and the staff there used to be difficult to find, especially at this moment when there is a serious shortage of manpower. After that, he hid in the deserted madhouse, designed to frame Lu Li's contact door, and broke into the lunatic asylum because of Lu Li's mistake, attacked Lu Li, was counterattacked by Lu Li, and fled.

  Richard was last seen a week ago.

  Richard, who fled to the Lord's Continent before, returned to the Ellen Peninsula, and briefly escaped in Shadow Town on the eve of the destruction. The police officers of Shadow Town almost caught him, but he escaped.

  Lu Li thought of something, thoughtfully.

   In any case, the figure behind the scenes is getting closer and closer to Richard who fled back to the Ellen Peninsula not long ago.

   Anna, who had already read it once, flipped through the recipe and looked up at Lu Li who put down the materials: "Where do you think he will hide?"

   "It should be in Belfast." Lu Li said, spread out the sheepskin map, and moved his fingers to a few blocks marked with slums: "I plan to go to the Old Rum Gang to see what they should know."

   "Scarlet tentacles ignored for the time being?"

   "Giving Richard the illusion that we've changed our goals."

   Surprise is very important, at least Richard can't know Lu Li's purpose, and set up traps on the road in advance.

   After all, at this time, Lu Li is the existence in the bright place.

   "It will take half an hour to cook." There was a roar of boiling water from the kitchen.

   "Turn off the fire first, come back and eat."

"Um."

  The black cat stayed in the detective agency, along with the sculpture.

  Anna asked the sculpture to protect the black cat, wiped her body clean by the way, and left the detective agency with Lu Li to go to the slum.

   Bypassing several hustle and bustle blocks leading to the port, the horse-drawn carriage arrives in the slum after dozens of minutes.

   asked passers-by in ragged clothes about the stronghold of the old Rum Gang, passers-by fled like snakes and scorpions. An elderly resident who lived nearby told Lu Li, the stronghold of the Old Rum Gang - the Old Rum Tavern three blocks away.

  …

  Blackwater Street, the base camp of the Old Rum Gang.

  The residents here are basically inextricably linked to the Old Rum Gang: young men join the gang, and old men and women serve as logistics.

  Slum gangs are mostly parasitized in this way: big gangs occupy entire or multiple blocks, and small gangs crowd into blocks that big gangs don’t like, fighting for territory all day long.

The    carriage ran along the sewage, and the air was filled with the stench that the drizzle could not wash away, and stopped in front of a guarded tavern.

  Lu Li stepped out of the carriage and asked the guards to help him keep an eye on the carriage. With two surprised eyes, he lowered his head and walked into the noisy tavern.

  The coldness and coldness of the streets are blocked, and the smell of alcohol and smoke is blowing in the chaotic hot and dry tavern.

   Bypassing the drunken gangsters who were walking chaotically, he slumped onto the wooden chair, and Lu Li walked to the counter.

  As he went deep into the tavern, more and more gangsters noticed the outsider, quieting down and watching.

   "Upper class" like Lu Li wouldn't come here.

   Even those wealthy people who come to the slums for adventure, usually stop at the periphery.

   The noise in the tavern subsided a little bit, and more and more eyes were turned to Lu Li who was standing in front of the counter.

   The bartender who was leaning against the wine cabinet behind the counter looked up at Lu Li and said nothing.

   "I want to see the leader of your old Rum Gang." Lu Li said to him.

  The atmosphere in the tavern condensed for a while, the bartender pointed to Lu Li, grinned with a missing front tooth, and shouted to the surrounding: "This guy wants to see our boss!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

   "Where is the rich man, go back!"

"Woohoo-"

   Laughter broke out the next moment, and he mocked Lu Li recklessly, and some thugs made obscene actions and insults.

   "Are you a noble?" the bartender asked with a smile.

"no."

   "Then you are the sheriff?"

  The question came from behind, and a small leader with a burly upper body and a heavy makeup dancer walked out of the crowd.

   "Neither."

   "Oh." The little leader nodded, tilted his head and said to his subordinate, "Find out all the valuables on him, strip off his clothes and throw them out."

   Several long-awaited strong men broke their joints and walked towards Lu Li with a grin.

   "Can we get on him!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

   In the roar, the young man said in a playful tone: "We are not the bugs of the New Grave Gang."

   After he finished speaking, he noticed that the dancing girl in his arms was staring at Lu Li, paused briefly, and added, "Be sure to ask the upper-level person's permission before doing things."

   Amid the loud and strange laughter, the gangsters approached Xiang Luli, and then they all felt a chill on their faces.

   The next moment, a violent airflow erupted around Lu Li, the turbulent seeming to drive out all the dirty things. The people, tables and chairs in the tavern were like confetti in a hurricane, blowing out and falling to the edge, layer upon layer.

   A few seconds later, the gust of wind dissipated, and the tavern that became empty was left with countless stacked screaming figures on the edge.

  Whoa——

  The table and chairs on the top floor were lifted, and the blood-stained youth was picked up by the collar by an invisible force and dragged in front of Lu Li like a dead dog, where he met a pair of black eyes watching calmly.

   "Can you take me to see your leader now?"
