March 12, 2101, two days after the bank robbery in the City of Winnipeg.

Seven p.m., Chicago.

On a nondescript side street, there is a bookstore.

An Asian man walks down the street, wearing a ponytail and a pair of small round sunglasses, and walks in a slightly sloppy and sneaky posture.

After getting off the plane, Zuo Dao found a cheap hotel to stay in, and then came to the bookstore agreed on the phone.

When they arrived at the door, four middle-aged men walked out of the store, one of them wearing a leather jacket was carrying something into his arms, which seemed to be an oilcloth package.

"What are you looking at?" shouted the other party with a fierce look.

Zuo Dao shrunk his neck: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... A few of you, please......" he stepped out of the way.

I don't know where these people got so angry, but they didn't embarrass Zuodao, just cast a disdainful look, and then left.

Zuo Dao let out a long breath and pushed the door into the store.

The bookstore was disorganized, with books piled up on the floor, books piled up on the table, and bookshelves all full. The bookstore has a cross-shaped overhead structure, and the owner sits behind a desk in the middle, and the door behind him is actually his living room, which is usually hidden. There is a high-end coffee machine next to the desk, which is probably the most valuable thing in the whole store.

"Hmm...... Mr. Tianyi?" Zuo Dao looked at the boss and asked tentatively.

Tianyi just opened a book, took half a sip of coffee, and after hearing Zuo Dao's voice, he sighed, put down the book and cup in his hand, and made a gesture of please: "Sit." ”

Zuo Dao stumbled through the stacks of books, and since there were no chairs, he could only sit on a pile of books.

Tianyi opened the drawer in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Zuodao, "Do you want pizza?"

"No, thank you. ”

Tianyi looked down at the drawer again: "Where's the game?"

"Hmm...... What do you mean?"

"Rodents, rich in protein, eat like chicken. Tianyi's tone was like that of a salesman: "I can give you an alcohol lamp or help you heat it in the microwave." ”

Although he couldn't see anything from the other party's expression, Zuo Dao seemed to smell some kind of corrupt breath, which made him have a very bad premonition, so he waved his hand and refused.

Tianyi whispered: "Cut ......" and closed the drawer casually.

Zuo Dao looked back at the window of the bookstore again, and then looked at the sky with an inquiring look: "Those people who went out just now ......"

Tianyi continued: "They, the Tobacco Club." ”

"Oh...... I heard that this is not a peaceful place in Chicago recently, the two famous Luches family and the Genovise family are fighting, and the police are taking advantage of the fishermen, and I thought it was the mafia. ”

Tianyi: "They are the mafia." ”

This sentence almost choked Zuo Dao to death.

Tianyi smiled and said: "But this has nothing to do with you, you don't have to show this expression, I asked you to have something else." With your talents, it is too wasteful to use it against the mafia. “

Zuo Dao hurriedly replied: "This big brother, I remember you said that as long as I help you hand over the tape to the blood lord, you will never contact me again, right?"

"I was saying, 'If I don't have a place for you in the future, we'll never have contact again,' and obviously, now I have a place to use you. Tianyi: "But don't worry, I won't always use such a thing as exposing your whereabouts to blackmail you, I know that even if the police really surround you, you can always run away, and the real masters of the empire will not go to great lengths to catch criminals like you, after all, you are just a middleman, not a violent criminal." ”

Zuo Dao was relieved when he heard this, but Tianyi immediately said again: "I'll hire you to do something with your middleman's fee for the time being, and if you refuse, I'll think of some new and more effective ways to threaten you." ”

"Big brother! As the so-called good brother stresses righteousness! Will I say a 'no' to your request to my eldest brother?! Am I like that kind of person?! Look, as long as you make a phone call, won't I rush over from Hainan Island at full speed!" Zuo Dao began to gush endlessly, his eyes lit up under his sunglasses, his eyebrows danced, his acting skills were not exquisite, and his performance was not devoted.

Tianyi threw a newspaper on the table in front of Zuo Dao: "You are very smart, Venice is indeed not a place to stay for a long time, it is the right choice for you to run away after helping the blood lord, otherwise he will find you again sooner or later, and the idea is to find me and the advisor through you." ”

Zuo Dao took the newspaper, and before he could read the content on it, he heard the very bad name: "Hmm...... Why did he think I could find an advisor...... Wait, I can understand that the blood lord wants to find you, but what is he looking for an advisor for?"

Tianyi: "Hmph...... It should be said that I used some methods to give the Blood Owl the illusion that I and the advisor were accomplices. That's all I can tell you. You're talented, left-minded, maybe you have a lot of contacts and intelligence networks, and it's really possible to find an advisor. As for me, haven't you already tried? ”

Zuo Dao was surprised in his heart, he secretly investigated Tianyi's affairs, and he did a good job, but he also knew about it, could it be that this guy is really omniscient and omnipotent?

"Don't be in a daze, read the newspaper, a piece of news in North America. "One day.

Zuo Dao looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his expression changed greatly: "This person ......"

"Oh, I think I remember. Tianyi: "Seven years ago, one of the top assassins of Qianying stepped down, and his exploits have allowed him to receive a sum of money from the organization to live a normal life. But people are not cats or dogs, and they become pets when they are picked up from the trash can and left in the house. The human being, the basis for living in the 'present', is the 'past', the assassin needs a legal identity, and you are the person in charge at that time. ”

Zuo Dao continued: "Tom Stoll's legal identity is very expensive, I have gone through many ways, and it took a lot of effort to get this deal, why? Is he exposed like this? He is also your big brother?"

Tianyi replied: "No, we have never met. That's not the point, the point is his identity, I'm afraid it won't last long, his enemies will soon come to the door, and I guess he will definitely do it 'like that' next...... It is because you have some friendship with him that I will call you. He picked up a book he was reading: "This book is called 'Gilson II', you can help me bring it to Winnipeg and give it to the gambling snake to help him." Of course, I know you'll peek, just watch it, and it will help you after watching it. ”

Zuo Dao took the book, puzzled.

Tianyi added: "By the way, the consultant is in Chicago right now, and I should be in contact with him in two weeks, and if nothing else, we will leave Chicago together." You don't have to come back to me after you go to Maple Leaf County to complete your mission, you can go anywhere, just don't go back to Chicago, or you're likely to run into a blood lord who came here to find an advisor, or 'that kid'." Call...... It's not easy to mess with, once you meet, you will either be made into buns and fed to the dogs, or you will be escorted to Tidal Prison, in short, the Hades will catch the offering fruit on the table and send it to death. ”

Zuo Dao was stunned when he heard this, and he deeply realized that when a person reveals things that have not happened in the future one by one, it obviously has high requirements for the IQ of the audience.

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the coffee again, and seemingly casually pulled out another book from the bookshelf behind him, yawning and looking at it, as if the left road in front of him had become air, it was better to get out of the way quickly, so as not to be an eyesore.
