Chapter 35: The Ponslin Tavern
No. 12 E Street, Ponslin Town, Mu Tianyu echoed this sentence in his mind, he thought it would be an apartment, which would take a long time, but he didn't expect it to be a tavern, and this building was within a radius of hundreds of meters, and it was not until the car left that it was even more desolate. The style of the tavern was seen in Mu Tianyu when he was a child, and now there are not many of them, unless they are in remote areas, those places do not have too many constraints, and they don't care about the surrounding environment, just a place to rest, it would be good to have some food and drink. I wanted the young man to wait a little longer, but after giving the money, he slammed the accelerator and drove away without saying a word. Mu Tianyu walked into the tavern, No. 12 E Street, Ponslin Town, very puzzled.
"I don't know exactly where the 12th is, that's how the navigator shows it, but this street is called Ponslin E Road, and I've turned around here several times, and there's only this one house." Mu Tianyu still recalled the young man's impatient explanation in the car before. However, this is also true, he himself looked at the navigator.
Through the window, the furnishings inside are relatively standardized, but the lights are not turned on, and the sky is abnormal, which makes it appear relatively dim. Is there no one in there? Thinking in his heart, he gently pushed open the wooden door. At this time, he saw clearly that there was a person at the bar who was bowing his head to clean up his things, it was a woman, probably younger. "Anyone?" He asked deliberately like this, attracting the other party's attention.
The woman looked up at the door, hesitated for a moment before smiling. "Hi, hello."
"Hello, may I ask, is this 12 Ponslin E Street?" This is the first time since he has met someone who is friendly and smiling to him since he arrived in the northern jurisdiction, Mu Tianyu stepped forward and asked, the woman may be in her thirties, her eyeshadow is relatively light, but she looks heavy in the dark corners.
"Yes, this is Ponslyn E Street, probably number 12." She put her things aside and habitually picked up the wine glass on the left side of the front desk. "Do you need a drink?"
"Yes, a glass of juice."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Seeing the woman turn around and pour water for herself, Mu Tianyu looked around, like a tavern that had closed down, with wine barrels piled up on the singing platform on the right, and the tables and chairs next to it were also emptied. "Are you out of business here?"
The woman turned around, handed over a glass of juice, and asked confusedly, "What?" ”
"I mean......" Mu Tianyu looked at the song platform on the right.
"Oh." The woman suddenly realized, shook her head and said: "There used to be a singer who sang here, but because he was sick, he never came, and it was difficult to find anyone interested in music in this remote town, and over time, no one came to sing." She smiled at Mu Tianyu, her eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, like a temptation, the man in front of her was really fascinated by herself, and he should be a rich man looking at his clothes. In fact, most of the people who come here just take a break or have a drink, and they don't care if anyone sings, as long as there is music. As she spoke, the woman lowered her head and activated the VCD button in the bar, and suddenly, a melody of ecstasy resounded in this tavern, it was a very old music, Mu Tianyu had never heard it, I thought it was a charming woman dancing her slender limbs by the candle flame, moaning softly, and hitting people's hearts with the rhythm. There are also a few rooms inside where you can take a hot shower if you feel cold. The woman puffed up her chest and her voice was tactful and bewitching.
The suspenders of her underwear were not concealed by the heavy fur coat, and the woman deliberately lifted her shoulders, her bare nipples unleashing endless temptations, her face cocked, and a heart-wrenching aroma mixed with the smell of smoke came out of her red lips. Mu Tianyu's dull eyes shook his head violently, and then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Ahem...... Ahem, the immediate reaction of the gulp of devouring was that he was burned badly by the liquor. "I, didn't I ask for a glass of juice?" He wiped his mouth and stared at the woman in front of him in confusion.
"How can anyone come to the tavern and not drink, besides, an attractive man like you, this glass of wine is considered to be my invitation to you." Her smile became more and more charming, and she deliberately spit out a letter like a snake, and her biting red lips showed her horny emotions. "Let's go, I'll take you into the guest room."
Ahem...... Ahem. Mu Tianyu coughed, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back. "Hug, I'm sorry, I'm ahem...... I'm here to find someone. "If you don't tell me what you mean, I'm afraid it will really cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
The woman's expression was very stiff, judging from the previous change in attitude, Mu Tianyu was helpless and did not care about the other party's feelings. "Humph!" She sneered, she couldn't believe what she heard, and she lifted her coat up and wrapped it tighter, and then with a blushing face, she cleaned up the things at the bar, and no longer paid attention to Mu Tianyu. "There's no one you're looking for."
"I'm sorry, but I really have something important." Mu Tianyu explained again and again, thinking that the other party didn't want to say a word to him anymore because of his feelings.
"If you're looking for someone, please ask after eight o'clock, it's only six o'clock, this is the tavern, it's not open yet." The woman looked angry. "Look around, there's no one you're looking for."
Mu Tianyu glanced at the room, and there was no one. "Alright, alright, I'll wait here, this is 12 Ponslin E Street." In desperation, it had to be like this, and the people who came to the tavern were usually at night.
"I told you that this is E Street, but I don't know if it's the 12th."
"What? You don't know? Can...... Aren't you a local? Mu Tianyu was very anxious.
"I'm just here to work, but I don't know if this is the 12th, you can go to the Investigation Bureau." The woman was full of anger, but then, her eyes froze, and she thought of something. "You, who are you? Are you a police officer? She couldn't help but tighten her hands, although it seems to be a legitimate profession on the outside, but the work she is engaged in is not glorious, if the other party is really a policeman, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth." Are you a police officer? Seeing that Mu Tianyu didn't answer, the woman sighed excitedly, she just wanted to turn around and leave.
"No, no! No! Mu Tianyu hurriedly called: "I'm not a policeman, I, I'm just here to find someone, you misunderstood." ”
"Who are you?" In the tense atmosphere, a low voice came from the side of the room, and a middle-aged man walked up, he was holding a plate of wine, half of the wine in the bottle was left, and there was liquid residue in the empty glass. "This is 12 E Street, but there are fewer people who know it than they grew up here."
The middle-aged man walked into the bar, and when he passed by the woman, he said, "Let's go, there's nothing to do with you here." The woman was also very obedient, nodded and immediately turned away, in the direction where the middle-aged man had come. I'm the manager of this tavern, stranger, how can I help you. He turned off the music in the room.
Mu Tianyu stared at the middle-aged man, his eyes making him very uncomfortable. "I, I'm here to find someone."
"A stranger came to such a remote place just to find someone? That sounds ......" The middle-aged man frowned and thought of a word. "Unbelievable." He suddenly smiled. "What is even more surprising is that this stranger actually knows that this is 12 E Street."
"I'm sorry, really, I'm really here looking for someone, to be precise, I'm looking for someone to send a letter." Mu Tianyu took out a courier package. "I found this place based on the shipping address on the courier."
The middle-aged man didn't take the delivery, just glanced at it. "I can't help you, please leave." He said indifferently.
"......"
"I told you, please leave." The middle-aged man seemed to be irritated by something, and even the green tendons on his neck bulged out.
"Okay, okay, calm down, I'll leave." Seeing that the other party's mood was wrong, Mu Tianyu took a few steps back, although his mind was full of questions, but there was no way but to do what he said.
"Wait!" The middle-aged man suddenly said again: "Show me the document bag in your hand." Mu Tianyu turned around and saw that the other party was looking directly at the document bag in his hand, which was the case, and he raised his hand suspiciously. Yes, is that possible? Can you show me? The middle-aged man's expression was very serious, and Mu Tianyu hesitated to hand him the case, but he didn't open it, just put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. Well, I can help you. As he spoke, he returned the case to Mu Tianyu. This sudden change is really puzzling. "Although I don't know you, I've seen what you have in your hands." The middle-aged man's expression lost his previous anger.
"You, have you seen this?" Zhong Yi must have been here, so he saw this case. Mu Tianyu was emotional, guessing in his heart.
"Yes, I'm the one you're looking for." The middle-aged man nodded.
"You ......" Mu Tianyu took a few steps forward, almost leaning back on the swivel chair. You're the sender? He placed the courier on the swivel chair in front of him. No, if you are the sender, why can't you recognize this courier when you see it before? Mu Tianyu stared at the middle-aged man suspiciously, and questioned, "This is something you sent by yourself." ”
"Yes, it was indeed sent by my own hand." The middle-aged man said, pouring a glass of champagne and taking only a small sip. "About a month ago, a man named Zhong Yi found me."
[It was noon that day, I had just had breakfast, no, lunch, in fact, it was all the same, I was about to rest for a while, when I heard a car coming outside, through the window I saw, it was a white Fick wing L7, such a car is rare, especially in a remote town, look at his license plate number, it should be from Dro City. I was guessing that it must be some acquaintance who got rich overnight and went back here to talk to his old friend, but then I saw him. looked nervous and uneasy, his eyes were messy, and after getting out of the car, he still visited in the direction he came from time to time. When I saw that he was about to come in, I walked over.
He seemed to be taken aback by me, and after pushing the door open, he hesitated for a long time before greeting: "Hi, hello." ”
"Hello." I responded very politely.
"My name is Zhong Yi and I'm a psychiatrist from Dro City." He introduced himself and handed me a business card that was the same as he said.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help?"
He took out a stack of money directly from the black wallet, accidentally pulled out the file bag inside, and dropped it on the ground, I picked it up for him, and noticed that the cover of the file bag was marked with the words 'Research Institute Case Room'. "Thanks, please do me a favor and help me investigate someone." He spoke very directly, and he was very excited, and he kept looking behind him. But I can swear it was just the two of us and not a single one on the street. Although I am the manager of the tavern, I would like to say that the money is not small, and it is worth several months' salary. I was about to ask him who I wanted to investigate, but he continued: "This person is supposed to be a local from Ponslin, and the people who come to the tavern have complicated relationships, you should have heard of it, and if you can find out, this is only half the payment, and I will send you another payment." ”
"Okay, no problem, don't worry, I'll help you investigate." I immediately took his money, and I couldn't afford to pass up such an opportunity.
"You can't tell anyone else about this except me!" His face was nervous, but serious.
"Please rest assured!" I was thinking that such a sum of money must be a big deal, so I didn't plan to tell anyone other than him.
"Okay, here's my number, and here's my address, you can contact me, or you can come here to find me." He looked behind him again, and his nervousness did not subside for a moment. "Someone is following me, you remember, don't say anything to anyone but me!" After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry. The white Fick Wing disappeared into the street in a puff of smoke. 】
