Hugh has been in the bounty hunter industry for a long time, and many things can be dealt with directly without thinking about it.

As soon as she saw that the customer who came in was nearly two meters tall, she instinctively lowered her head and continued to eat pork sausages and french fries as if nothing had happened.

The food entered her mouth, but Hugh couldn't taste anything, and she endured it for dozens of seconds before she slowly raised her head and looked around casually.

Soon, she saw that the customer who had just come in was sitting at the bar, waiting for wine and lunch.

Soft and slightly curly pale yellow hair, beast-like dark brown eyes, slightly drooping corners of the mouth, and a withdrawn and vicious temperament...... Detail hit Hugh's pupils, overlapping with the image in her mind.

It's him!

It's the one who is suspected of being the murderer!

Williams' killer!

Hugh buried his head again and slowly shoved the rest of the food into his mouth.

After a few minutes, she placed the plate and her glass on the bar, and left the Workers' Union tavern without squinting or looking back.

- Because the boots are much higher, she effectively conceals the most obvious features.

Outside, Hugh slowed down and found a secluded spot nearby to observe the people entering and exiting the tavern.

After waiting for a while, she finally found an acquaintance, Burton, a skilled worker who lived in the East End and worked in the East Bailang Dockyard.

The young man likes to give himself a cup of low-quality rye beer at noon or in the afternoon, which his salary can only afford, and he can't drink it every day.

Hugh sprang over with agility, patted Burton on the shoulder, and lowered his voice:

"It's me, Hugh. ”

"Hugh?" Burton looked up and down the short man behind him, barely recognizing that it was Hugh Dilcha, the famous "arbiter" of some streets in the East End.

"I have something to ask you. Hugh gestured to the next corner.

Burton followed in confusion, and when he reached the hidden place, he suddenly asked:

"You're working on a bounty mission?"

He had heard that Hugh was also a bounty hunter.

"Hmm. Hugh nodded perfunctorily, took out five copper coins of one penny, and tossed it, "Do you know that tall man in the tavern?"

"You mean the tall, yellow-haired, fierce one?" Burton gestured.

"Yes. Hugh quickly took out the folded portrait and unfolded it, "You must be completely sure." ”

"That's him, he's been to this tavern a lot in the last two or three months, I've never seen him before, he's fierce, he's not reasonable at all, he's fighting very badly, you'd better not mess with him. Burton glanced at the portrait carefully and admonished sincerely.

Well, I saw that person just now, just like when I was a child, I met a fierce beast, and I had a feeling that it was very dangerous, not an opponent, and had to be avoided immediately...... Hugh exhaled to himself and asked:

"Do you know who he's in close contact with?"

"I don't know, he's very unsociable, he doesn't even speak, and no one even knows what his name is, so we gave him the nickname 'Giant' ourselves. Burton pouted and shook his head.

Hugh thought for a moment and asked:

"Where else have you met him besides the tavern?"

You can ask your friend the same question, remember, it has to be a trustworthy friend. ”

Burton recalled:

"When I went to the dockyard union, well, the dockyard union at the East Bailang dockyard, I occasionally saw him around, Hugh, why aren't you from the union? You're so fair, and those guys not only charge us 1.5 soles a week, but they also make us pay half of our salaries when other dockyards strike and we have to support our families!"

"Lord, it's all settled, for a good life, we must help each other, but as soon as they organized a strike, they turned around and reached an agreement with the lawyers sent by the rich people, and our situation has not improved at all!"

"Stop, stop. Hugh pressed his right palm and said, "Besides, you haven't seen that 'giant' anywhere else?"

"No, not my friends, after all, we often discuss him privately. Burton replied in the affirmative.

Hugh didn't say anything more, and gave the five copperpennies to the other party:

"Drink, please. ”

"What I just asked, you don't tell anyone, it's going to be very dangerous. ”

Before she could finish speaking, she had turned and walked out of the corner, towards the docksman's union at the dockyard in East Bailang.

Ten minutes later, Hugh saw the two-story yellow building.

She turned her canvas jacket upside down, revealing the patches inside, transforming herself from a short worker to a homeless man in an instant.

Glancing at the homeless men curled up in the corner, Hugh pinched his nose and went over to sit with them, his gaze intermittently wandering over the dock union opposite, when someone was coming in and out.

As the minutes ticked by, Hugh endured the cold wind and the harsh environment, and persistently observed the conditions of the dock union and the surrounding area.

She vividly remembers Williams's insistence on drinking, and even more remembers the feeling of reading 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 café opposite in groups to prepare for lunch.

Hugh narrowed his eyes and carefully swept over each passerby, confirming their appearances.

There are no suspicious people...... Hugh was ready to retract his gaze and wait for the next batch.

With a squeak, the door of the café was opened, and the heat inside rushed out, and a man couldn't help but take off his gold-rimmed glasses and wipe the mist with his cuffs.

Hugh glanced at it casually, and his gaze suddenly froze:

Those eyes!

That corner of the mouth!

Always with a sarcastic and smiling image!

Hugh turned his head abruptly, not daring to look again.

The man had a bright complexion, short and thick hair, and an angular face, which was very different from the appearance in the portrait, except for the familiar feeling of the eyes and the corners of the mouth.

Mocking everyone's feelings!

Could it be Lanrius? Hugh buried his head and stared at the stone slabs on the side of the street.

............

Summer's home.

After a sumptuous lunch, the host and guests gathered in the living room to chat and agree to play Texas together.

Funny rumors and funny stories echoed intermittently, and Klein kept smiling, interjecting from time to time, and seeing the two Summers children moving in and out of the house.

Next to him, Jürgen Cooper still has a serious expression, occasionally providing legal advice on discussions.

Klein smiled, tilted his body slightly, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you going to get bored?"

"No, their topic is interesting. Jürgen nodded earnestly.

Klein was stunned for a moment, and blurted out again:

"Then why don't you laugh?"

Yuergen frowned slightly, looked at him suspiciously, and said:

"Why are you laughing?"

"......" The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to respond.

He was about to make a joke about the fact that the other party was very much like his cat Brody, always so serious, but suddenly there was an illusory cascading voice of supplication in his ears.

Female ...... Miss "Justice" found useful information so quickly based on the clues I provided?Klein stood up and bowed slightly:

"I'm going to the bathroom. ”

Entering the bathroom, Crane locked the door of his house and took four steps backwards into the gray mist.

His judgment was very accurate, and the cry of the prayer came from Miss "Justice".

Klein suddenly tensed, half expectant and half solemn to spread spirituality, listening to the other party's words.

After the customary honorific name, "Justice" truthfully describes:

"They found the clue you provided at the Workers' Union Tavern at the dockyard in East Bailang, the docklands, and the other party's nickname was 'The Giant'. ”

"Following the pattern of the 'giants', they found suspected Lan'erus at the dockyard in East Bailang, but they couldn't be sure. ”

"They don't dare to contact Lanerus for the time being, because the 'giant' is very powerful and dangerous, so they can only continue to wait for the opportunity. ”

"They also asked, after confirming that it was Lanrius, could they report to the police department and receive the bounty?"

Lanrius has a very powerful and dangerous helper...... Does he have any other helpers? Is there some force behind him? Why would he kill so aggressively, what is he planning in the dock union? A series of questions flashed through Crane's mind, making him feel that things were much more complicated and foggy than he had expected.

As for the last request, his answer was undoubtedly yes, and he would even suggest that the other party report directly to the Church of the Night Goddess, because there was a possibility of leaks on the police department's side.

Letting the night watchman of the Church of the Goddess kill Lanrius is also considered revenge! Crane muttered to himself silently, with a strong urge to immediately confirm whether that person was Lanrius, so as not to wait too long and there would be variables.

He took a breath, suppressed his emotions, and untied the pendulum of his cuffs.

"Go to the dock union to confirm that the matter of Lanerus is in danger. ”

After closing his eyes and reciting it seven times, Crane opened his eyes and looked at the citrine pendant, and found it motionless, completely still.

Failed divination?Klein frowned.

He changed his sentence and the way of divination, but the result was still a failure.

After thinking about it for a while, he found three reasons, one is that there is not enough information to do divination, the second is that the dock union does not have Lanerus at all, and it is difficult to establish divination, and third, Lanerius is like Ince Zangwill, who has items that can shield divination.

Shielding items for scrying...... The benefits he had gained from that Divine Son Ceremony?A bit of divinity of the "True Creator"?Crane pondered for a few seconds, deciding that he would have to go to the dockyard union anyway.

There are things that you know are dangerous, but you still have to do them!

Both of those ladies were able to observe secretly and not be discovered, and so could I...... I only need to meet with Ranus once, and I can confirm it with the help of divination......

Of course, this should not be reckless either, I must prepare in advance, for example, to send the "Eyes of All Black" to the gray fog, not to carry it with me, so that the spiritual pollution of the "true creator" does not resonate with His divinity, for example, to elevate myself so that the "giant" cannot recognize me as the guy who "passed by" last night, for example, to find a suitable and sufficient reason not to arouse suspicion, well, you can pretend to be a reporter to interview, and I will ask Mike Joseph to borrow his fake press card first......

The corners of Klein's mouth slowly turned up, covering himself with spirituality, and he fell back into the real world.
