97 Bastards

Lei Rui called out to him, leaving Diana here to familiarize himself with the surroundings, and he himself followed Herr Hans to the market in the city. Under the guidance of Hans, Lei Rui walked into a small alley, and the shops here seemed a little deserted, and from time to time he could only see a few people coming in and out, forming two extremes with the bustle a few steps away.

What Lei Rui is looking for is these places to buy and sell antique relics and all kinds of miscellaneous things, and he wants to sell the gold and silver coins in his arms and exchange them for cash for daily pocket money.

He walked around, picked out a shop with a seemingly unremarkable faΓ§ade, and opened the door.

In the crunching sound, Lei Ruimai walked inside, the shop was very dim, cluttered with various sculptures and other miscellaneous items, like a real grocery store, at the end of the room, a small light bulb was lit, emitting a faint orange light, two people who were trading there, a big fat man, sitting at the counter, outside was a young man, thin, handsome, hair messily piled on his head, was turning his head to look.

The young man was still holding a matchbox-sized thing in his hand, which was being placed in his ear, as if he was listening to something, at this time he slowly put it down, glanced back at Lei Rui, and then turned his head, as if he had lost interest in him.

β€œHELLO! Am I in the wrong place? Lei Rui asked at the door.

"Nope! No! The big fat man sat behind the counter, shook his head again and again, smiled so much that there was only a ** slit left in his eyes, and said loudly, "Please come in, please come in, this Mr. Constantine is about to leave, you came at the right time, young man!" ”

Lei Rui frowned, no wonder he felt that the handsome young man in front of him with a melancholy face, a little indifference and indifference, was a little familiar, it turned out that he was Konstantin! If Lei Rui guessed correctly, his name should be John? Constantine!

It's that hellish detective Konstantin!

But this Mr. Constantine was a little dissatisfied with the big fat man's statement, turned his head to look at Lei Rui, stretched out his hand and pointed at the big fat man, and said to Lei Rui: "I'm sorry! I'm not done yet! Can you go outside the door and wait? Or, if you insist, you can also wait here. ”

"It's okay! I'll just take a look here! Lei Rui said with a wave of his hand, and the door of the store that had been released closed automatically, making a thud.

Although Konstantin spoke very politely, his tone was not very friendly, Lei Rui didn't care, and he didn't mean to go out and wait outside the door at all.

Konstantin narrowed his eyes, tilted his head slightly to the left, and asked unceremoniously, "Do I know you?" Youngster? Or does this Father Hannasee know you? ”

This was apparently because he was unhappy that Lei Rui had not left the door, interrupting his business with the Hannasee priest.

"No, you shouldn't know me." Lei Rui smiled and said, "Actually, I'm just here to ask if you can accept antiques here, real antiques!" ”

The lights in the room were dim, Lei Rui's perception value was as high as 2?11, and he could clearly see Konstantin's eyes shrinking and his brows tightened, but Father Hannasee replied first: "Yes, young man, you have found the right place, this is a place that specializes in buying and selling antiques, those British gentlemen are all old customers here, look here, there are antiques collected everywhere, let me see, young man, what good things do you have in your hands?"

It was like a grocery store full of inferior antiques, and Lei Rui didn't even look at the sculptures and porcelain piled up next to him, and walked straight over, standing next to Konstantin.

Konstantin was holding a large matchbox with strange symbols painted on it, and on the counter between the two, there was also something strange-looking, a bit like a gun, with a barrel as long as a chopstick, a wheel seat like a revolver, and a trigger, but Lei Rui was sure that it was not a pistol.

"This is it!" Lei Rui said, not looking at these strange-looking things, and handed over two coins.

A gold coin and a silver coin are all irregular circles. The silver coin is slightly larger, and the obverse features a lionskin helmet of Hercules, the greatest hero of Greek mythology; On the back is a seated statue of Zeus holding an eagle in one hand and a scepter in the other, and the king's name on the right is "Alexander".

The gold coin is slightly smaller, with Athena's Collins helmet on the obverse; On the back, the winged goddess Naik stands with a cross staff in one hand and a garland in the other, and the king's name "Alexander" is also on the right.

Lei Rui did not recognize the words on the coin, which had been told to him by Diana, as well as the legends and stories of Athena, Hercules, and the two-winged goddess Nike.

Father Hannasee didn't look like a priest at all, he was fat-headed, big-eared, almost bareheaded, and when he saw these two coins, his eyes immediately widened, and his slitted eyes opened at once, and he really saw the money.

Even more surprising was the Konstantin in front of him, who seemed to care about nothing, his eyes shrunk, and he moved faster than Father Hannessey, snatched the gold coin in his hand, looked at it over and over, and only after half a salary did he ask in a deep voice: "Is this real gold?" ”

"You'll have to ask this Alexander the Great!" Lei Rui stretched out his finger and pointed to the line of Alexander on the coin, and said without a hint.

"Oh!" Konstantin's face was so thick that he didn't even blush at all, and he rolled between his fingers with the gold coin, "That's a good idea. Well, young man, let's go and find a customer for you, and you pay us a commission, how about that? ”

"Good!" Lei Rui stretched out his hand, and with a seemingly casual squeeze, he took the gold coin from Konstantin's fingers, and said lightly, "You pay me a deposit, take this silver coin to the customer, and I will pay you 10% of the commission after the deed, gentlemen, how much you can sell it depends on your ability." ”

Konstantin was still looking at his fingers in a daze, and then looked at the gold coin in Lei Rui's hand, he was surprised that Lei Rui could take this gold coin away under his nose, and he could see every action, but he didn't react at all, and he didn't react.

Father Hannasee clutched the silver coin tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that Lei Rui would also take it back, and he stared at Lei Rui tightly, and did not say a word. Konstantin finally withdrew his gaze from his fingers, took out a box of cigarettes, poured out a cigarette, put it to his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "No, 20%!" ”

Lei Rui shook his head, stretched out his hand, spread it out in front of Father Hannessey, and replied, "15%!" If you're not satisfied, please give me back the silver and I'll find someone else. ”

"Deal!" Konstantin said very dryly, with a shake of his right hand, the lighter snapped on, lit up a flame, and lit the cigarette.

During the whole process, Father Hannasee was like a handyman, and Konstantin was like a master, and he had the final say on everything. As soon as Konstantin said that the deal was sold, Father Hannathee's fat face immediately smiled, reached under the counter and groped for a long time, and took out a stack of banknotes.

"Don't have dollars?" Lei Rui said very sophisticatedly.

He has figured out that in London, the capital of the British Empire, the dollar is more popular than the pound, which has already unabashedly announced that London is losing its position as the center of the world, and the hegemony of the dollar is rising.

Konstantin didn't say anything, just puffed up the smoke there, and his movements were very skilful, and Father Hannasee took back the stack of pounds, pulled out a new stack of colorful dollars, and said to Lei Rui: "Here is $100, as a deposit, when we find the customer, how shall we inform you?" ”

"I'll come and see it every day," replied Rayray, "and if you're in a hurry to find me, you can leave me a message at Sir Derek's Castle Villa, and it's a pleasure to work together, gentlemen!" ”

He stretched out his hand, shook hands with Father Hannasee and Constantine, and was about to say goodbye, when the door of the shop was slammed open, and a figure burst in, either bumping into this or that along the way, making a ping-pong sound, and shouting: "John! John! There's a big business! Someone has been caught by a demon! ”
