Chapter 027: Search
Besides, Luo Fan was moving on his side, but James on the other side started a thunderous fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Peter gave him three days to come to Rovan, and he felt that a boulder was constantly weighing on his heart. How easy is it to find someone in District 51, where hundreds of millions of people live, let alone someone whose name is not even known?
So far, James' only clue is that he has seen the appearance of Lofan beneath the mask. Other than that, he only knew that his nickname was Silverface Hercules. Moreover, this nickname was changed to him by his boss Peter. He clearly remembered that just before he played, Hercules almost said his real name, but Peter rejected him and directly helped him change his nickname. Because of this, James can't even go through the police system to find the man, which causes him great trouble.
The only hope now is that "Hercules" has not escaped from the streets he has cordoned off, and if he does, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find it.
However, as the minutes passed, James's heart sank more and more, and the news from various intersections showed that there was no such person as Hercules, and there were not even many people who looked like Hercules as James described.
Hercules is gone!
For James, this is really bad news.
He couldn't be blamed for that, he never expected Luo Fan to be so fast, so fast that he escaped before his arrangement began.
Three hours later, James was disappointed.
He had to remove all the barricades that had been set up at the intersection because he was soon under pressure from all sides.
The first is pressure from the government to set up barricades to search for pedestrians, even if the government is incompetent, they must maintain their semblance of dignity.
Secondly, because of the gladiators' actions, they have angered a gang called the Tiger Gang. Because Bruce Street is the most famous entertainment street in the 51st District, in addition to the gladiator behemoth, there are many bars, casinos and brothels. The large amount of gray income generated here every day is by no means something that a mere gladiator can eat.
On this street, along with the gladiators and the tigers, there are two smaller gangs. The two small gangs thought that they could not challenge the gladiators, so they put up with it for the time being, but the Tigers couldn't bear it. Their income came mainly from casinos and brothels, which the gladiators did soon affected their business. So at the very beginning of the gladiators' blockade of the streets, they put up fierce resistance and led to several skirmishes, which would likely lead to large-scale fights.
And such a situation is by no means what James wants to see, and he cannot afford such consequences.
So, he had to remove all the barricades, leaving only one or two people at each intersection to monitor the situation.
But doing so already meant his failure, and it was too hard to stop someone trying to sneak out in such a high-traffic neighborhood.
There was no way, James could only go back and report the situation to the boss first.
In another luxurious office, James meets Peter again.
At this time, Peter's face was so gloomy that he was almost bursting with water, and after listening to James's report, he was not angry, but from his cold tone, James still felt the monstrous anger of the boss.
"I don't care what you do, if I don't see that kid's man or his body in three days, then you can kill yourself."
Peter just said that, but James was in a cold sweat when he heard it, and a chill ran down his spine.
It's been a long time since he'd seen his boss so angry.
So, facing Peter, James had to pat his chest and say, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely let him appear in front of you in three days." ”
Then he ran out of the office almost as if he had escaped.
The seriousness of the matter had to make him nervous, so after going out of the door, James immediately found Tite, who was picking up Luo Fan into the training room, and asked about the situation.
Tite didn't know much, only said that Luo Fan came on foot at that time, and he didn't know anything else.
There was only one clue that almost drove James crazy.
But at this time, like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, he immediately diverged, and the hundreds of younger brothers below began to go to the nearby neighborhood to ask if anyone knew Luo Fan.
He analyzed that since Luo Fan could know that there was a fighting ring here, he should be familiar with this neighborhood, and he didn't take any transportation to the gladiators, so it was very likely that he lived nearby or worked nearby.
According to this situation, then there will always be people who recognize Rovan.
Based on this judgment, James can only take this stupidest way to find a needle in a haystack to find Lofan's whereabouts.
And on the afternoon of the last day of Peter's three-day deadline for James, a distraught James finally heard some good news.
One brother told him that fifteen blocks away, on Locke Street, a woman said there was a man who looked like James had described, and asked him to come over.
When James heard the news, he was as excited as if he had been beaten with blood.
Although it is still uncertain whether this news is true or false, he still drove over with a few younger brothers as soon as possible.
In front of a small building on Rock Street, James saw a woman in red, who was none other than Lorfan's former landlord, Mary.
When James arrived, Mary was still haggling with his younger brother, and made a big noise: "Don't think that the old lady is easy to deceive, if you don't take the money out, Hugh wants to know the slightest bit about that person." ”
And that little brother is just a young man who has just debuted, obviously not enough experience to deal with a woman like Mary, and he is blushing by her.
After James got out of the car, his excitement cooled down a lot when he saw this scene.
The psychological pressure he had suffered in the past two days was too great, and as time passed little by little, every second that passed on the clock was like a second less counting down to his life, and the sword of Damocles was always hanging over his head and falling at any time.
This kind of pressure made him unable to eat and sleep, he almost didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and his lips were blistered twice because of the fire, so after getting out of the car, he came to the little brother with red eyes.
He asked the little brother hoarsely, "What's the matter?" Didn't I ask you to ask all the questions before I came? ”
The younger brother is a young man, and he only belongs to the lowest role in the gladiator, and although James is Peter's bodyguard, Peter is a close confidant of the big boss, and the status of the two can almost be described as a world apart, and he can only look up to James. Therefore, as soon as he heard James ask this, he immediately stammered nervously and stumbled to reply, "Boss, she ...... She said she knew the man, but she wouldn't say it until I asked me to give her money. ”
After speaking, the younger brother pointed at Mary.
Mary was a little panicked when she saw that this young man who asked her for news had a phone call and a few big men in black, especially when the big man in front of her had red eyes, a hoarse voice, and an extraordinary momentum.
But the young man had promised to pay him a gold dollar if she told him the news, and when she remembered the tempting green flower note, she finally overcame her fear, and quickly became angry again, and said, "Ah, it was you who said that you would give money, and I didn't say that I asked you for money." But if you can do it, I still say the same thing, if you don't have money, don't want to get news from me. ”
James immediately frowned after hearing Mary's words, although he felt that the woman in front of him was too hateful, but in order to get news of Luo Fan, he still had to hold back the anger in his heart, and asked Mary, "How much money are you willing to say?" ”
As soon as Mary heard that there was a play, the fear on her face immediately disappeared, and she changed her face to a smile, stretched out a finger, and said, "One gold dollar." ”
James didn't say half a word of nonsense, and immediately took out a stack of gold dollars from his arms, pulled out a few and threw them on Mary's face, and said impatiently: "These are all yours." Tell me about that person immediately. ”
His patience had almost worn out in the past two days, so he didn't care about the few gold dollars.
Mary caught the notes with almost a golden glint in her eyes, and then said quickly, "I don't know the name of the person you're looking for, but he's the cousin of a former resident of mine named Lovan, who only came to District 51 in the past few days." Now that Luo Fan is gone, but he has a cousin named Luo Li who lived in my house two days ago, but they were gone when I came to collect the rent today. ”
"Where did they go?"
James hurriedly asked.
Mary happily counted the gold dollars in her hand and replied, "I don't know, they have already moved away when I came." I didn't even ask for a deposit. But I guess it's been two days since I left. ”
When James heard this, he was very disappointed.
To this day, he still hasn't been able to figure out what the exact name of "Hercules" is, and the man is still gone. As for going there, the ghost knows?
Knowing the news, James was almost desperate, there were less than ten hours before the deadline Peter had given him, and if he couldn't find the person the boss was looking for in those last ten hours, he would be unlucky. So after listening to Mary's words, the huge psychological pressure brought him to the brink of collapse, and a strong sense of irritability surged in his heart.
And when he saw Mary's face counting the money and smiling but extremely annoying, the irritability was even stronger. So, he immediately pulled out a gun from his waist, put it at Mary's head, and said violently, "So you don't know their whereabouts?" Well, you go and die. ”
He was about to pull the trigger, but Mary, who was suddenly held to the head with a gun, reacted extremely quickly and suddenly screamed and shouted, "No, don't kill me." Don't kill me, although I don't know where they went. But I know that his cousin Lori is in high school in Santa Maria, and I heard that she is going to go to university. I think that man loves his cousin very much, and if he finds his cousin, he will definitely find him. Don't kill me, don't kill me, I told you everything I knew. ”
Hearing this, James was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately turned around and ran to the car.
Seeing this, several younger brothers beside him immediately rushed back to the car with him, leaving only the frightened Mary to stay on the street.
