Putting the photo in his pocket, Xu Changqing asked casually, "Where do you usually go for pastime?" I mean, where is the most convenient place to ask for news? ”

Nagaoka thought for a moment: "Of course it's the Blue Bird Bar, there is all kinds of news there." ”

"Address."

Nagaoka obediently handed over a business card. Xu Changqing accepted it and casually ordered: "Let's go, don't bump into my hands next time." ”

Shinda Mariko turned out to have a relationship with the fog demon, and I really didn't expect it to break my head. Although he had never faced each other head-on in his previous life, he had collected a lot of information from the side. If the information is correct, the fog demon should be a man. Could it be that the butterfly effect is so pronounced that history has changed?

There might be a clue to the Blue Bird Bar, and he decided to check it out.

is different from Xu Changqing's imagination, the well-informed Jade Bird Bar is just a small shop with half a façade. If it weren't for the match between the bar sign and the business card, I almost thought I was in the wrong place. Isn't this just an ordinary roadside shop? The location is also not good, tucked away deep in the alley.

Don't be fooled by appearances, he reminded himself secretly, reaching out and pushing the door.

As soon as the doorbell rang, the bartender napping at the back of the bar looked up.

"This is the Blue Bird Bar?"

Looking at the empty bar, Xu Changqing really felt that he had gone to the wrong place this time. None of the customers who came to drink were well-informed?

Looking at the business card in Xu Changqing's hand, the bartender showed an ambiguous smile: "Mr. is here for the first time?" ”

"That's right," Xu Changqing simply handed the business card to the bartender, "A friend introduced it." ”

The bartender looked at the business card carefully and nodded, "Please follow me." ”

It turned out that the bar was just a façade, and it was actually in a small two-story building across the street. There are no signboards or decorations outside, and it is not the bartender who leads the way, so I really can't find it.

As soon as I opened the door, the smell of wine was like a wave, and I came to my nose. At the door is a long bar, and several bartenders are flying with their hands like butterflies, playing fancy bartenders. Behind them were rows of silver shakers, and bottles of all colors were stacked on a wall.

"Feel free." The bartender who led the way just now nodded at Xu Changqing, exited the door, and gently closed the door.

"A glass of snowpiercer." Xu Changqing ordered wine.

One-third white citrus with two-thirds vodka, two teaspoons of lime juice and a pinch of sugar, served with a green cherry. In his previous life, Xu Changqing loved this flavor cocktail, and it has become a habit.

Unlike those nightclubs with loud music, the Blue Bird Bar doesn't play strong rock rhythms. There is a small stage on the north side, and under the spotlight, a female singer wearing a yellow cheongsam sings a low voice with a guitar. More sound comes from people's heads and ears. Long wooden tables can be found everywhere, and the tables are full of people, drinking wine and talking in low voices.

After drinking it all, Xu Changqing motioned for the bartender to have another drink. Taking advantage of the other party's handing over the wine, he took out a photo of Mariko Nobuta and lit up: "Have you ever seen this girl?" ”

The bartender looked at it seriously and shook his head: "I haven't seen it." But there's everyone here, you can ask them," he said, pointing to a large bulletin board near the dance floor, "I can't really ask, write down what you want to ask and nail it there." If the bounty is good enough, someone will always contact you after a while. There are a lot of well-informed guys here," he smiled and winked at Xu Changqing, "Come often when you have time." ”

Looking in the direction of the bar, there is a very eye-catching bulletin board on the south wall. It is covered with colorful paper, and it varies in size.

Xu Changqing slowly paced over with the wine and swept the bulletin boards.

There is a farm near Dangbeskawa, which was recently bought by an outsider at a low price. However, the buyer did not do enough homework, and did not know in advance that a couple had committed suicide by poisoning there, and then haunted all year round. He wanted to recruit workers, but no one applied for the offer of favorable conditions, and the farm could only be abandoned. If anyone can cure evil spirits, he will not be stingy with a reward.

A Catholic priest recruits people to explore an abandoned ancient church cemetery. During the Warring States period of Fuso, a group of Catholics once gathered in a mine near Abashiri to revolt in an attempt to establish an earthly kingdom of God. After the defeat, the cultists retreated into the mountains and hid in the mines. The crusaders brutally sealed the entrance to the cave, and the cultists were never seen. A hundred years later, there was rumor that there were living dead people in the mountains of Abashiri. The imperial court sent an exorcist to investigate, but he never returned it, and there was no more news. The priest hoped that someone would protect him and preside over the mourning offerings to appease the worshippers who had died in the mountains hundreds of years ago.

A group of foreigners from various countries have formed an expedition team and are looking for guides to Mt. Hachiman. It is said that during the Boshin War, before the defeat of the old shogunate army in Hakodate, Toshizo Hijikata secretly sent someone to deposit a large amount of shogunate money in the Hachimandake Mountain, and his whereabouts are unknown. The foreigners posted a letter of commitment from the Fuso government to prove that they had the right to dispose of half of the property they had obtained after the fact. Of course, the guide also has a commission.

Most of the news on the board is like this, true or false, and it is difficult to judge. Looking for Shinda Mariko, do you also stick it according to the gourd painting scoop? Xu Changqing weighed it repeatedly and felt that it was still inappropriate. Most of the information at hand was exposed, but nothing could be exchanged for anything.

Fingers unconsciously tapped back and forth on the long table, with rhythmic beats. This is a habit of Xu Changqing's thinking. Suddenly, the rhythm of the fingertip beating stalled slightly. A redhead approached, her light grey eyes blinking. "I'm sorry," her voice was low, slightly hoarse, but very sexy, "can you borrow a cigarette?" ”

"Of course." Xu Changqing pushed the cigarette case over to her.

The redhead smiled, her fingertips lightly swiping the bronzing "The.Peace" on the dark blue cigarette case: "Thank you." ”

She took out a golden lighter, lit it herself, and lit another one for Xu Changqing by the way. The smoke is thin and rises. She took a puff, "Good smoke."

"Your lighter is good, too, Dupont Gold Limited Edition."

The redhead smiled: "Thanks for the compliment, it's a pity it's not mine." Yesterday, there was a customer who didn't have enough money to pay the bill, so he just put it on hold temporarily. ”

Xu Changqing's gaze swept over her proud breasts and slender legs: "The price must be very expensive, understandable."

"I don't understand that," the redhead's good-looking chin arced from left to right, "I do do business in this bar, but it's not what you think." ”

Realizing that there was a voice outside the other party's words, Xu Changqing was more cautious. "What is it?" He asked tentatively.

The cotton-white cigarette rolled around the redhead's fingers. "The Blue Bird Bar is a well-informed place, but news comes at a price," she whispered, "and I have exactly what you need." ”
