Chapter 397: Tavern [Ask for a Monthly Pass Recommendation Ticket!] 】
It was dark, the lights were on in the room, and Lily was running around the living room barefoot, and everywhere she ran, the floor was spotless, and she stepped on cute little footprints.
Qin Yun stood by the window, looking at the dim path downstairs, as if waiting for someone to come back.
Xia Ren wiped a dining chair with a towel and sat there cross-legged, flipping through his phone.
The coward's ear picker lay in his pocket, and the little thing stiffened twice a day, once in the morning, and again not so long ago, and now he was exhausted, like an ordinary ear picker.
"I haven't paid attention to it for a while, and there are a few more boutiques in the suspense area, and this one called the poet of eternal sin is quite good-looking."
Lu Yi curiously stretched out her head to take a look, and found that she couldn't understand it, so she lost interest.
She took out a bag of bread from the satchel she was carrying, tore open the package and took a bite of it, thought about it, and then reached out to Xia Ren's mouth, the latter shook his head and said that he would not eat, Lu Yi stopped Lily who was running and playing, and the two of them divided it in half, chewing slowly in that small bite.
Xia Ren saw that the two of them looked pitiful, and put away his mobile phone: "It seems that he won't be back tonight, don't wait, let's go find him." ”
He sighed and looked at an old couple sitting side by side on the sofa next to him: "Where do you sons like to go?" ”
The old couple just looked at him silently, with a stiff smile on their faces.
Xia Ren patted his head.
"It's so similar that I almost forgot,
You're long dead. ”
……
……
Like Rinko Huichuan, Xia Ren also noticed Liu Huai's information when he was checking the information.
Unlike Riko Huichuan, Xia Ren investigated more deeply, and because of this, he found that Liu Huai's father was chronically ill and needed to take medicine all the time to maintain his relative health, but since a year and a half ago, Liu Huai's family has never bought medicine again.
……
……
In the darkness of the night, the lights came on from behind the rusty iron doors.
"Hello, ma'am, please show your membership card."
As soon as Riko Aikawa opened the door, the first thing she faced was a middle-aged security guard in uniform standing behind the door.
"Membership card?"
Ariko Aikawa didn't expect that in such a remote place, there would be a place like a club?
She glanced at her watch, and the hands on it pointed to the current time zone, seven o'clock in the evening.
"Looks like you're here for the first time."
With a polite smile on his face, the security guard turned sideways and made way of the way: "It's rude for a beautiful lady to turn away, please come in." ”
"Thank you."
Although I didn't understand the situation here, Liu Huai was probably inside, and Liko Huichuan thanked him and walked through the door.
"You're going to love it."
The security guard said from behind.
The door was closed, and the cold wind was held out.
Riko Aikawa glanced back, her body always on alert, to prevent any unexpected situations that might arise.
Ahead is a long, narrow passage, and the sound of music is as if there is no music.
Passing through the passage, the vision in front of you is a lot more cheerful, this is a decoration style of the classical hall, there are a few warm yellow headlights hanging on the ceiling, only about one-third is on, even if you look directly at the light will not be dazzling, but will feel a little dark, there are a few solid wood tables and chairs in the hall, the shape is conservative, but faintly reveals a bit of luxury taste.
In the center is a small stage with a number of chairs messily arranged, and Ikawa Riko roughly counted them, and there are eleven in total.
Further down the hall is a bar with a wine cabinet on the other side of the bar, all of which are filled with a variety of wines.
Everything here is basically brown solid wood, the ears are soothing piano music, and the overhead light can only barely illuminate all places, and those dark corners add a few different flavors to the whole hall.
Elegant, yet mysterious.
It was more like a small tavern, and when Ariko Aikawa came in, there were about ten people sitting around, both men and women, who were either talking in small groups or drinking in secluded corners.
The people who built this place definitely have a unique taste.
And usually, something is unique, in fact, a little over, it is perverted.
Looking at the stage in the center of the tavern and the chairs on the stage, Ariko Aikawa couldn't help but recall that in the case record, the tenant's body was dancing and the landlord's body was sitting next to it, like a spectator.
"Hello, Miss Detective, do you want something?"
Behind the bar, the handsome bartender greeted.
"How do you know I'm a detective?"
Riko Aikawa walked over, observing the other people in the tavern, and found no figure similar to Liu Huai.
The bartender glanced her up and down and smiled, "Your dress is very distinctive." ”
"Passing the prize."
Riko Aikawa's attention is still around, and her answer is not salty or light.
"Do you want something?"
The bartender asked again.
Riko Aikawa withdrew her gaze.
Liu Huai is indeed not here, but it should have something to do with this tavern, or maybe it is a member, after all, no one will be bored to come to this wilderness.
Maybe be able to get something out of the bartender's mouth.
"Then ...... Have a gin and tonic. ”
She decided to order a glass of wine.
"Okay, wait a minute."
The bartender smiled and nodded, and took out a bottle of sapphire gin from the wine cabinet behind him.
Gin & Tonic is a straight-blended cocktail that doesn't require complicated steps, just add about half a glass of ice cubes to a tall glass, and then pour in an ounce of gin and an appropriate amount of tonic water.
Taking advantage of the bartending, Riko Aikawa reached out and took out the monocle from her trench coat, and was about to bring it on, when a person suddenly bumped into her and touched the monocle in her hand to the ground.
Riko Aikawa hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and the high heels were impartial, and she stepped on them just and smashed the lenses.
"You!"
Riko Aikawa was a little angry, but when she looked up, she found that the person who hit her was a curly-haired woman covered in alcohol.
"How...... What's your ...... Any opinions? ”
The woman looked over drunken and hazy, and her speech was a little unclear.
Seeing her confused appearance, Eikawa Riko could only suppress her anger.
The woman quickly diverted her attention from Riko Aikawa and climbed into the bar chair.
"One more drink...... Whiskey. ”
The bartender first pushed the mixed gin and tonic to Riko Aikawa, and then said, "Miss Ridan, you've drunk enough today." ”
"You take care of me, I can drink again, and I can still ...... And ......."
The woman named Lidan was drunk on the bar, drunk and unconscious.
The bartender smiled awkwardly at Riko Aikawa: "This young lady often comes here to get drunk, and someone will come and pick her up after a while." ”
"Hmm."
Riko Aikawa nodded, and couldn't help but glance at her feet again, and although the drunken woman didn't seem to mean it, the shattering of her glasses somewhat aggravated her uneasiness.
"What kind of guests are here?"
Riko Aikawa held the cup of gin and tonic in one hand, and she didn't drink it, the cold touch kept her awake.
"That's a lot."
The bartender smiled and said, "There are doctors, lawyers, and women's wives, like this one." ”
The bartender glanced at the unconscious woman next to her.
"That's ......"
Riko Aikawa continued to ask, "You guys are memberships here?" ”
"Yes. You look naïve, but you'll get used to it quickly. ”
"I don't really like to drink."
Riko Aikawa shook her head and asked again, "Did you just see a short and fat man coming in?" ”
"Nope."
The bartender denied it, and there was no trace of lying on his face.
Riko Aikawa was silent for a while, took out a 1,000-denomination alliance coin from her pocket and put it on the bar, then left her seat and said, "I'll go around." ”
"No problem."
The bartender is still smiling: "You're going to love it here." ”
"Forever."
