Chapter Seventy-Five: The Thread Through the Beads
Hearing what Akita said, Hugo immediately restrained the smile on his face, because he heard the surprise and uneasiness in Akita's joking tone.
"I asked Xia Ran to investigate the neighborhood where the leeches lived back then, although it was many years ago, but fortunately, the leeches are famous enough in the street, so there is a lot of information to be investigated. ”
"And what is the result?" asked Hugo anxiously.
"Hmm, don't be too anxious, don't be greedy for a fat man. Akita suddenly became leisurely at the moment, as if he was deliberately hanging Hugo's appetite, although Hugo was in a hurry to know how to be too far away to know how Akita was, but he was so angry that he grinded his teeth.
Akita didn't joke for too long, and then said, "I lived in that neighborhood before Fat Leech established Green Forest, so many people are familiar with it, or they lived there before Fat Leech became a desecrater. ”
Hugo said: "When did the leech become a desecratee?"
Akita said: "It was almost nine years ago. ”
Hugo's heart moved, and the time coincided, and it could be seen that at a certain point in time nine years ago, Thirteen did come to the street and gave the leech the ability at a certain time.
However, doubts followed, and Sayuri didn't say anything about her stay in the streets, whether it was because she only had blank memories during that time, or if Thirteen's soul had already left her body at that time.
Just when Hugo was silent, Akita said: "After many years, there is really little news about the leeche, and many of the news are more like deliberately fabricated, and the credibility is quite questionable. ”
Hugo's heart couldn't help but sink when he heard this, it sounded more like the clue had been interrupted again, but just now Akita had said the so-called frightening news, so what is it worth?
Soon, Akita gave him the answer.
"But you can guess whose jurisdiction is the neighborhood where the leech lived nine years ago?"
A thought popped into Hugo's mind.
"Mr. Du?"
I don't know why Mr. Du's old and kind face appeared first.
"Is there any mistake, how did you guess it at once, I still want to show it off!" Akita didn't know the shock and surprise in Hugo's heart at this time, but he complained a little, and faintly heard Xia Ran's disdainful laughter on the side.
Hugo's mind at the moment is like an enlightenment, as if many things have been revealed, but there is still a thick fog that cannot be uncovered in front of him.
Akita complained and continued: "Although Mr. Du was already the leading figure in the street at that time, but fifteen or sixteen years ago, there was a series of gang fights in the street, and it can be said that that period was a period of extreme chaos in the street, and Mr. Du's organized gang was greatly hit, and it has been in a state of contraction in those years. ”
Even back more than ten years ago, Mr. Du was still an old man, and he should have been quite powerless in the chaotic gang struggle.
Akita pondered for a moment, as if waiting for Hugo to laugh at the previous message, and then Akita spoke: "The next thing is the final part..."
It is said that in those days, Mr. Du had a lover named Anne. ”
Call!
It was like a gust of wind blowing, blowing away all the fog that covered his eyes, and the truth that Hugo's intuition pointed to jumped into his eyes.
Leech, Mr. Du, Annie, Thirteen, and even Sayuri seem to be connected by an invisible thread.
"Are you sure?" Hugo couldn't help but ask again, even though it had come to this.
"No, I'm not sure. Akita's answer surprised Hugo.
"These messages can be hearsay, just a little information found on the Internet, it turns out that the people in the street are not very dependent on the Internet, and there is no character like a historian and clerk, so the authenticity of these news is really not high, according to Xia Ran, the authenticity of such information is not even more than 40%. ”
That being said, the balance of truth in Hugo's mind has tended.
As if to break this slightly dull atmosphere, Akita said: "But you don't have to care, as Mr. Du said before, there are many prostitutes in the street who also like to call this name, second only to Angel." But this quip did not relieve the pressure on Hugo's heart.
After a while, Hugo asked Akita, "So, is there any clue for Anne?"
To this, Akita only replied, "Look for a needle in a haystack." ”
Hugo let out a long sigh, and Akita was worried that Hugo would be lost, so he hurriedly added: "But since Mr. Du is disgusted now, Xia Ran and I have decided to inquire about it first, and I believe there will always be exciting news tonight." ”
"I hope so. Hugo's mood had calmed down at the moment.
"Then please, I still have some things to deal with here, so I won't say anything to you about it. It's business as planned, and the meeting point for tomorrow night remains the same. ”
From Hugo's tone, Qiutian smelled a bit solemn and cautious, although he wanted to ask Hugo about his situation at the moment, but Hugo would not tell him clearly, so he swallowed it back.
"So... Take care. Akita finally said softly.
"Take care, stay in touch, and let me know if you have any new discoveries. ”
After Akita agreed, the two cut off communication.
After putting away the PMT, Hugo slowly turned his head to look at the luxurious and magnificent Du PR.
"Mr. Du..."Hugo groaned softly, I don't know if it was because of a chance in the dark, Hugo was here by mistake, it seems that now is the best time to investigate the matter!
Hugo walked towards the Du Mansion with a deep groan, but his mind was thinking about things quickly, and he ignored the surrounding movements, and not far from him, a small spherical object rolled in the direction of Hugo on the flat stone ground, and when Hugo found it, he did not stop his steps, and stepped on it with one foot, and then Hugo only felt that the spherical object under the sole of his shoe was trampled.
"Huh?" Just when Hugo didn't react to the situation in front of him, a tall young man in a black suit also chased after the ball with his waist, but when he saw Hugo trampling it under his feet, his body suddenly stopped, and Su Hou raised his head to look at Hugo, and a pair of deep brown eyes revealed an inexplicable grievance.
"You've trampled the sugar. ”
Seeing this, Hugo took a step back and retracted his steps, but saw that there was indeed a candy that had been trampled under his feet.
"Well, I'm sorry. Hugo hurriedly apologized, although he did not understand the scene in front of him, but he felt that he had inadvertently destroyed the most precious thing of this young man.
Just then, a hoarse voice rang out.
"Aaron, didn't I say that you can't eat anything on the ground?"
