Chapter 51: In Search of Bugarati
A high-end restaurant in the city of Naples.
The environment is elegant and comfortable, the elegantly decorated hall reverberates with the beautiful music played by the pianist live, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh flowers.
Guests sat in pairs and threes by the crystal clear floor-to-ceiling windows, lazily enjoying the afternoon sun outside the window, while chatting softly over afternoon tea.
This is indeed a stylish restaurant.
However, Li Qing ruined the "high-class" atmosphere here very unsightly:
He sat down in his seat with a knife in his left hand and a large mass of pasta with a fork in his right hand, gobbling up his bow from side to side, and complaining with his mouth that had not chewed the food cleanly:
"Alas... It would be nice to have a pair of chopsticks..."
“......”
Giorno sat next to him with a cup of black tea and looked at Li Qing with a very helpless gaze.
Compared with Li Qing, who has no image at all, his movements when drinking tea look like the purest British nobleman.
"Hahaha..."
Li Qing noticed Qiao Lunuo's delicate eyes, so he stopped to wipe his mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry."
"I've cut several people since the morning, but I haven't eaten a single bite of food."
"If I wasn't so hungry, I wouldn't be in a hurry to find a place to eat."
"And..."
"It's rare for me to open such a high-end foreign meat restaurant once."
"If it weren't for the money that broke out of fighting monsters, I would be really distressed."
He told the story of his murder and robbery with an unchanging face, and it sounded as calm as if he had picked up a coin on the road.
"Well..."
Giorno didn't have the heart to waste time on this inconsequential matter of eating and drinking.
Taking advantage of the fact that Li Qing didn't stuff anything more into his mouth, he hurriedly asked:
"Li Qing, just now you have told me the name of that boss and explained his stand-in ability."
"So, is there any other useful information?"
"This..."
Li Qingmo rubbed his chin and replied with some embarrassment:
"I was in 'Blind Monk' mode the whole time, and I could only perceive a vague outline, and I couldn't see the face of Diablo."
"So... Aside from my name and stand-in abilities, I can't provide any more information. ”
"And how are you going to find Diablo?"
"Just knowing this, you can't launch a counterattack against him!"
Giorno questioned it very directly:
"Aside from Diablo, do you know anything else related to the Passion Organization?"
"For example, information about their personnel, organizational locations, internal structure, spheres of influence, mode of action..."
“.......”
Li Qing suddenly fell silent.
There was gradually a kind of shyness on his face, which made Giorno faintly aware that something was wrong:
"Hey, hey... Li Qing. ”
"You're not trying to tell me... You swore to me that you were going to bring down the Passion, and now you don't even know how to find them? ”
"Uh..."Li Qing was a little embarrassed: "From a technical point of view, the situation is probably like this." ”
Giorno helplessly held his forehead, his expression was very resentful.
It was only after he was pulled onto the thief ship that he suddenly discovered that the seemingly reliable captain didn't know how to sail at all.
"But..."
Li Qing came to a twist in time:
"I have a clue!"
"Bruno Bugalati, do you know each other?"
He pronounced Bugarati's name word by word, and then looked at Giorno with an expectant look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Giorno chewed on the unfamiliar name and asked a little strangely, "Should I know him?" ”
"Uh... You don't know him yet. ”
Li Qing was faintly disappointed.
He has only watched two episodes of the anime, and the only clues he has are the names of the two main characters, "Giorno" and "Bugarati".
Among them, not long after Giorno came ashore, he appeared in front of him because of that wonderful fate.
And Bugalati...
"Where's this guy now?"
"Where do I find him?"
Li Qing muttered to himself, looking very concerned:
is different from Giorno, who is currently only a junior high school ghost, and it can be inferred from the plot reflected in those two episodes of animation that Bugarati must have been in the underworld for a long time.
As an insider of the Passion organization, if Bugarati can turn against himself and Giorno as he did in the original plot, he will definitely be able to bring a lot of useful inside information to help them point the way to launch a counterattack against Diablo.
"I don't know why, but look at you like this..."
"This guy named Bugarati should be the key to breaking the game, right?"
Qiao Runo carefully observed Li Qing's subtle and complicated expression, and suddenly understood in his heart that Li Qing must have some information that he was unwilling to tell the source.
He didn't ask Li Qing where this information came from, but just asked directly:
"So do you have any more information besides his name that will help us find him?"
"Hmm..."Li Qing recalled carefully and said:
"Bugalati is a member of the Passion organization."
"It may not be accurate, but he should be a small boss with a lot of status in Naples by now."
"Passion people?"
"I see, do you want to open a breakthrough from within the organization?"
Giorno's slightly frowning brow softened slightly:
"In that case... If he really is some kind of small leader with a good status in Naples, then I can find him quickly. ”
"Oh?" Li Qing was a little expectant: "How to find it?" ”
Giorno picked up the delicate gold-painted porcelain cup and took a sip of black tea:
"You're a foreigner, so it may not be clear."
"Caring about profits, ordinary people and the mafia are very closely linked."
"No matter what kind of shop you open or what kind of business you do, if you don't pay enough protection money to the local mafia, then your signboard will not be able to stand up on this street."
"Correspondingly, the mafia has collected a full amount of protection money, so it has to provide corresponding protection to the store in accordance with the rules of the road."
"If someone is making trouble in the store, or if there are robbers who are not good at stealing and robbing the store, the mafia will do their best to stand up for the store."
"Of course, it's not uncommon for garbage to collect money and not do things."
"But as far as I know, the mafia in Naples is still very 'dedicated'."
"Especially those supermarkets, shopping malls, cinemas, and high-end restaurants that are not small, they are in a sense the big financiers of the mafia, and the mafia cannot sit idly by if something happens."
"I see."
Li Qing understood what Giorno meant:
"As long as we find a high-end store that seems to pay a lot of protection money to make trouble, we can follow the routine of 'fighting the small and getting old'..."
"Until the Passion forces in Naples come forward in person!"
"In this way, we have a good chance of meeting Bugarati directly."
"Wait..."
He was slightly stunned, and the eyes that looked at Giorno suddenly became a little strange:
"Giorno, how do I feel like you're suggesting that I'm doing something very uncivil."
"Haha."
Giorno smiled rarely: "I just made a suggestion, and you have to decide how to do it." ”
"This kind of troublesome thing is directly pushed to me?"
"Well... I'm pretty experienced anyway. ”
Li Qing withdrew his gaze with a strange expression.
Immediately afterward, he brewed his emotions a little...
Bang!
Li Qing slapped the table violently, and his voice shook the sky:
"Manager! What about the manager? ”
"Call your restaurant manager!"
This unbridled roar instantly destroyed the quiet and elegant atmosphere in the restaurant.
The surrounding guests and waiters were so frightened by this formation that they did not dare to speak, and only the restaurant manager in the suit and leather shoes barely managed to maintain his dignity.
He cautiously stepped forward and said to Li Qing in a gentle and patient tone:
"Do you need anything, sir?"
"Hahahaha."
Li Qing laughed wildly and said domineeringly: "I'll order!" ”
"Order?"
The restaurant manager frowned and replied carefully: "You can just tell me the order, don't be so loud." ”
"That's good!"
Li Qing slapped the table again:
"I want ten catties of filet, cut it into a zigzag, and don't see half a bit of fat on it!"
"Don't wait for the pickles to do it, you cut it with me!"
