While Sharps and the maiden were still in the middle of the day, Big Ivan drained two 12-liter bottles of spirits and easily swallowed two roasted lamb shanks with herbs, a can of beetroot soup, and ten pounds of hard Lucia-style brown bread with plenty of nuts.

Satisfied, he wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, flipped through the menu in the corner of the table, and glanced at the small bill in the menu, Big Ivan's eyes widened and he shook his head. With a cold snort, he took out a small stack of bills, put them on the dining table, stood up, and left the restaurant with his head held high.

The blonde maid in charge of Big Ivan's table came over with a smile on her face, and put away the banknotes that Big Ivan put down one by one, while calculating the small accounts in her heart.

After counting the banknotes, the pretty face of the blonde maid froze.

For the first time since she worked at this restaurant, she had met a customer who underpaid!

The money that Big Ivan dropped was enough to pay for meals and wine, but the fifteen percent of the service charge, commonly known as tips, was clearly in short supply.

Big Ivan's simple meal, plus two bottles of gold diamond black pine forest, the total price is exactly 3,000 gold marks. As a spirit that only Lucians know how to appreciate, Fountain of Life is not very popular in the markets of Metland's countries; But as the best product in the fountain of life, the price of those two bottles of golden diamond black pine forest is really not very cheap.

The cost of the meal is 3,000 gold marks, and the service charge should be 450 gold marks.

And the big Ivan put down only three thousand three hundred gold marks, and there was a shortage of one hundred and fifty gold marks.

"Damn Lucia upstart...... Oh my God, he's got a good face! The blonde maid was stunned, she picked up the bill and the bill, and hurried to find the manager on duty at the restaurant.

Sharpes witnessed it all the way.

His eyes widened in the same shock, and he shook his head with a dumb smile: "Oh, oh, dear, you see, this is the face of the nouveau riche...... You are a simple, pure girl, but you must be careful, you must not be deceived by such bastards. ”

Big Ivan took a big stride and left the restaurant with a little weakness.

He crossed the road in front of the restaurant, quickly jumped into a four-wheeled carriage that had been waiting here, and shouted busily. The Lucian man who was driving waved his horsewhip, and the two tall horses pulling the cart neighed softly, pulled the carriage and left.

Big Ivan touched his empty pocket, looked through the car window a little stupidly, and glared fiercely at the restaurant just now.

He didn't mean to get rid of that service fee, but when he went out today, he had so little left on him.

Stein had just been killed, and the good things he got out of his house would not be able to be realized for a while, so Big Ivan could only pay out of his own pocket and first give out a part of the rewards to his subordinates who participated in the event.

When he was in the Ruhr, he was a big-sized thug who paid for his errands, and he had never entered such a fancy restaurant.

How did he know that two legs of mutton, a can of soup, plus a little black bread and two bottles of wine, actually ate a few thousand?

"Ahh Big Ivan cursed in a low voice, took out a detailed map of Hyderabad from the small closet embedded in the carriage, and studied it carefully.

He took out a red pen and gently made various marks on the map.

"Hmph, Sharp, Hydrerabad, that private club that less than a thousand people know about yours? Hmph, Big Ivan, but you know...... Albert Einstein was a good young man, and he was well informed. ”

"Well, well, it's a good place to get off the road. In the southwest corner of the Blood Kapok Mound, there are more than 100 large and small roads nearby, which are convenient for you and convenient for me...... Well, the most convenient, are these three points. ”

"Dear Mr. Sharps, you left the club with the charming girl, and these three points, any of them, are a good place for me to start. Well, kill you, strip you naked, and quickly evacuate. ”

"There must be something unsightly in this club, ha, the nearest security posts are all a mile away, so even if a large number of flintlock rifles are used, it is impossible for the police to arrive at the scene in time."

"Then, the time and space for evacuation are sufficient."

"However, Stein has just been killed, and the incriminating evidence we have left behind points to the Highlanders...... If Sharps is also killed...... Dropping one or two wolf fang amulets, or two highland scimitars, is definitely not going to do. ”

"He--, gotta get two highlanders to drop on the scene."

Big Ivan licked his lips and touched his head very seriously: "I have to get two highlanders, find a place around there to hold them first, kill Sharpe, kill them, and then throw them on the spot." ”

Big Ivan kicked hard on the carriage: "Damn, those Highland pups, where are they usually?" ”

"Greetings brothers, we'll have to get some highlanders."

"Well, it's better to be the kind of person who doesn't look like a good person and still has a criminal record in the police station, then it's the most perfect."

Three hours later, in the afternoon.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the cold wind blew through the cracks in the clouds. Thick and thin pillars of golden light sparsely drilled out of the cracks in the clouds, and shone weakly on the gray buildings of Hyderabad, bringing a meager but precious warmth to this cold winter city.

An elongated four-wheeled carriage scurried down the alley from the West End slaughterhouse where the Highlanders of Hydrderaberg were crowded, and turned around to the North End near the Bloody Kapok Mound.

Einstein, wearing a thick tweed hat and an overly wide coat, and his face was blue from the cold wind, sprang out of the corner of the alley, quickly opened the car door, and ran into the carriage.

"Your Excellency Ivan, that's the mansion." Einstein opened the curtain of the car and pointed to a mansion more than 200 feet away: "I have already found out, the owner of the house is an unlucky man, originally a minor official of the Ministry of Finance, I don't know what happened, the whole family was invited to drink coffee by the Ministry of Supervision." ”

"The house has been sealed for a month or two, and the neighbors are unlucky, and they don't approach it on weekdays, so it's the most clean and safe."

Albert Einstein lowered his voice: "Well, this house is only 1,500 feet away from that club. ”

Big Ivan giggled and patted Einstein on the shoulder: "Well done, boy...... Hmm, the Imperial Inspectorate? Tsk, what's the surname of this unlucky person? ”

"Miller." Albert Einstein clicked his mouth: "A little nobleman, they have a daughter in their family, and she is still a big beauty in the music department of the Fourth University." Ah, it's a pity that the girl, now I guess she has been ...... by a certain noble young master."

Einstein made a vulgar gesture that everyone in the market knew it did.

"Oh, oh, the girl of the little nobleman who committed the crime." Big Ivan sighed: "The end will not be much better." If she had also been invited to coffee by the Ministry of Supervision, perhaps it would have been her luck. If she ...... Unfortunately left outside......"

Big Ivan cursed in a low voice: "Why don't I know her?" The girls of the Fourth University of the Imperial Capital, Shui Ling! ”

Big Ivan subconsciously remembered the girl sitting opposite Sharps at lunchtime.

The carriage went down the alley.

In front of and behind the carriage, several Lucian men wrapped in tattered overcoats, with fleshy faces and fierce faces, appeared out of nowhere, and they watched the movements around them vigilantly, and made all the gestures of safety.

The carriage came to the back door of Miller's house, and a Lucian man quietly opened the sturdy oak-clad iron back door, and Big Ivan opened his big hands and carried four highland men who were tied to death, with stinking socks in their mouths and thick footcloths on their eyes, and rushed out of the carriage with great speed.

Big Ivan led the four highlanders into the courtyard, Einstein sat in the car and waved to Big Ivan, and the carriage continued down the alley without pause, turning into an avenue at a fork in front, and so on.

The back door of the house closed silently, and Big Ivan threw the four unlucky highlanders to his subordinates waiting in the backyard, and a group of more than twenty people walked through the backyard and into the main building of the house.

Standing in the spacious and gorgeous hall on the first floor of the main building, Big Ivan opened his arms and exclaimed loudly: "Wow, it's cleaner than a dog has licked." ”

A man with the same big bald head, a crossed scar on his face, and a fierce looking Lucia man pouted: "Head, those guys from the Delun Imperial Supervision Department are also experts in scraping the ground...... We searched for two hours, but not a single copper was turned out. ”

"Except for some bulky furniture that is not easy to realize, there is nothing of value in this building."

Big Ivan sighed, shook his head, and said with heartfelt emotion: "Okay, we are just little thieves, those guys from the Ministry of Supervision are the real thieves......"

"We're going to have money soon, though." Big Ivan licked his lips, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "The big man in Ruhr City, how can there be a few bearer traveler's checks with large amounts on his body...... Ha, I love these rich guys, I love them to death. ”

A group of Lucian men sat in the hall on the first floor, and several men took out the red barley wine that had been prepared long ago.

Red barley wine, which is the specialty of those highlanders on the plateau in the north-south direction of the Lanyin Corridor, has a very high alcohol content, an extremely strong taste, and an extremely pungent taste. In addition to the bitter highlanders, in the entire continent of Metland, only Lucians are loyal fans of red barley wine.

Big Ivan 'quack' laughed, and one of his subordinates picked up a wine bottle and poured it in a big gulp.

"Well done, guys...... We have to put the black cauldron on the heads of the highlanders, so we must not drink the fountain of life here...... But don't worry, as long as this one gets the money, I invite everyone to drink the Golden Diamond Black Pine Forest! ”

"Trust me, that delicious taste is something you guys have never tried in your life."

The Lucian men laughed and raised their bottles happily.

Every fifteen minutes, a Lucian man casually walked through the courtyard and delivered a message to his companion who was guarding behind the gate.

Sharps has entered the club.

Sharp's bodyguards opened a game in the club's podium.

Sharps is yet to leave the club.

……

Minutes and seconds passed.

In winter, it gets dark early.

It was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and night fell.

The cold wind is howling, and the streets and alleys are gradually becoming scarce.

At nearly seven o'clock, two delicate four-wheeled carriages suddenly went down the alley and came to the back door of Miller's backyard.
