Chapter 18 The Snake Road and the Rat's Road
In the snake road and rat road, most of them are people who rely on intelligence to eat.
Although these intelligence agents who are active in Mad Hat Town are far inferior to the behemoths of the Navy and the Revolutionary Army who can play intelligence tricks, they can also provide convenience in all aspects.
In order to find the killers of his comrades, Raglan had to pay for the help of these people.
And the wolf rat is said to be a guy with a better sense of smell than a dog.
is the cold man with sharp eyebrows and sharp mouth in front of him.
Sitting on the couch, Raglan struggled to calm down.
The thought of being touched behind him by a wolf rat just now, and he didn't realize it, felt a chill in his heart.
This guy obviously has the strength, but he has to do this kind of work in the stinky gutter.
Raglan couldn't understand it.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the taciturn bartender brought two glasses of wine at the right time, and then silently returned to the bar.
The wolf mouse stretched out his slender right hand and gently scooped up the wine glass to play.
Without waiting for Raglan to express his intentions, he said to himself: "Raglan, the cadre of the Sharp Bull Pirates, right?" Although the incident last night was insignificant, I still heard about it, so you want to entrust me with finding the murderer? ”
Recognized by the wolf rat and guessed the meaning.
Raglan wasn't surprised.
If you are in the intelligence business, how can you get mixed up if you don't have any skills?
On the contrary, it was the strength that the wolf mouse showed just now that surprised him.
"Yes."
Raglan didn't say much, he just took out the money bag and put it on the table.
The wolf rat picked up the money bag and flipped it, then untied the tie and glanced into the bag.
With his many years of experience in dealing with money, he can accurately estimate the amount without counting them.
"Start now?"
Satisfied, he put away his purse and looked at Raglan.
"The best."
Raglan nodded heavily.
The wolf mouse laughed and drank the wine in one gulp.
As for Raglan, he never touched the wine brought by the bartender.
The two of them got up and walked out of the bar one after the other.
Soon, Wolf Rat and Raglan came to the bloodstain in the alleyway.
The wolf rat squatted down and looked at the dried bloodstains, and said: "I heard that it was skewered by a shot, first the side neck where the bullet is more penetrating, and then the right eyebrows, the guy who did this is obviously a ruthless person who specializes in sniping." ”
Raglan was expressionless.
He was not in the mood to listen to the wolf mouse's analysis, but because of the strength of the other party, he was not easy to urge.
The wolf mouse didn't take into account Raglan's mood, and said inwardly: "If you want to say which kind of guy is the most difficult to mess with, that is, this kind of ruthless person who will shoot you in the cold and you don't even have a chance to fight back, but ......"
The wolf's nose moved, and in an instant it turned into a long, narrow black snout.
"It's also thanks to their activity that my business is so good."
He raised his nose and sniffed, and all kinds of smells turned into messages and entered his head.
100 out of 100, 1 out of 10, 1 out of 10.
After quickly sifting through the desired scent information, the wolf rat slowly got up and looked up.
"Keep up."
With the strength of his feet, he jumped lightly to the height of the building.
Raglan followed.
It turned out to be a Devil Fruit ability of the animal rat and rat category, so it's no wonder that he is dedicated to this.
In this way, finding the sniper is a sure thing.
The two of them leapt above the building, and soon came to the site of Maude's sniping last night.
The wolf mouse glanced at the scene, and the information transformed by the smell manifested in an instant a trajectory that did not exist in reality, extending from here into the distance.
Following the scent trail, the wolf rat headed for Thor's weapons shop.
Raglan followed closely behind the wolf.
The wolf rat ran towards Thor's weapons shop with a clear target, and when the distance was compressed to within twenty meters, he suddenly stopped.
"Found it?"
Seeing this, Raglan had a cold look in his eyes, thinking that the wolf rat had found his target.
Instead of answering Raglen's question, the wolf rat looked down at a spot in the alleyway.
The scent trail forked, one pointing in the direction of Thor's weapons shop, and the other being the alleyway that ran from Thor's weapons shop.
But that's not a reason for the wolf rat to stop suddenly.
Because even if the trajectory is forked, the final destination is still the Thor Weapons Shop, so this forked trajectory will not affect the final search results.
The root of the problem lies in......
The wolf mouse looked solemnly in the direction where Thor's weapon shop was located, and a corner of the weapon shop was faintly visible.
"Although the smell is not the old man's, it must not be involved."
He thought silently.
Looking at the silent wolf mouse, Raglan frowned slightly, and asked, "Have you found it?" ”
"I found it."
The wolf rat looked back at Raglan and said, "However, for the sake of money, I suggest you give up." ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, it's just a bonus suggestion."
Hearing this, Raglan said coldly: "You don't have to bother, it's your job to take me to the goal." ”
The wolf shrugged and said no more.
He followed the scent trail and led Raglan to the outside of Thor's weapons shop.
"The assailant is in that store, and then it's none of my business."
"Wolfrat, our deal is about finding the target, not just pointing a finger at the place."
Seeing that the wolf rat pointed to a place and planned to ignore it, Raglan was not good.
The wolf rat first glanced at the door of the weapons shop with a sneer, and then looked at Raglan with a sneer.
"Okay, the owner of the store is an old man, and the teller is a woman with a scar on her face."
"Which one is the perpetrator?"
"Neither."
Raglan resisted the urge to draw his sword.
The wolf mouse spread his hands and said: "The perpetrator is not the old man, nor the woman, but there are three people in the store, do you understand?" ”
Raglan snorted coldly.
Although it is not clear why the wolf rat did not directly state the identity of the third person, it was finally established that the target was.
And how does Raglan know that the wolf mouse does not say nothing, but does not know anything about the third person.
This weapon shop is one of the few places that wolves and rats dare not touch, and if he had known that the assailant was from a weapon shop, then he would not have taken this business for anything.
But the business is already going, so it can only be done head-on.
Therefore, the wolf rat did not even dare to report the names of Thor and Sunny, and could only turn a corner to reveal the existence of a third person according to the smell elimination method.
In fact, he didn't know when the third person came from.
But since he is also a member of the weapons shop......
After completing the transaction, the wolf rat will linger and return to the bar without stopping.
Raglan watched the wolf rat leave, and then glanced at the weapons shop with the door closed.
After thinking for a moment, Raglan also turned to leave.
In the evening of the same day.
A thief-eyed guest arrives at Thor's weapons shop.
As soon as he entered, he walked to the only three shelves in the store.
While pretending to examine the weapons on the shelves, he glanced at the three people in the store without a trace.
Gnome old man.
A girl with a scar.
Quite a handsome boy.
That's it.
The customer had a bottom in his heart, so he casually pulled out a second-hand machete from the third shelf, which was missing a small opening and did not look very good, and then walked to the counter.
"How much?"
"Fifty thousand Baileys."
Thor didn't lift his head.
The man thought that this inferior knife was worth 10,000 Bailey at most, who would have thought that it would be the regular price, and immediately scolded the black store, but he also paid the bill decisively and left.
After the customer left the shop, Thor looked up at the door.
"Tsk......"
