Next, Zhou Daoan designed a situation and "rehearsed" with Frank for half an hour, until Frank's performance reached Zhou Daoan's approval, and the two set off again.

At this time, it is getting late, and there are obviously more people working on the street. Some women dressed in cheap and flamboyant costumes also appeared on the streets. Most of them have a fixed point, a stop on the corner of the street, which can be seen by people without obstructing traffic. The flow of people coming and going, they rarely "take the initiative", only when they see those men who walk a little slowly and have a slightly complicated expression, they will come forward with a smile and talk to them. Of course, the way of accosting is also quite straightforward.

Zhou Daoan is the kind of "potential customer" with flashing eyes and a somewhat sneaky expression at the moment, although he has an oriental face and is young, it does not affect that several special service providers have paid attention to him.

One of them, a prostitute in her thirties, with a thick powdered face and dyed red gypsy-style hair, stepped forward. With a provocative smile, she raised her chin slightly at Zhou Daoan and said:

"Do you want to have some fun, brother?"

Zhou Daoan looked a little twisted, he turned to the side slightly, so that Frank, who followed like a shadow behind his background, showed a little embarrassed expression on his face.

"Two people? The price will be slightly higher, but don't worry, it's definitely cheaper than you looking for separately. The selling woman raised her eyebrows, and it was natural to understand that these were two young people who were "working together".

"Can you talk about it somewhere else?" Zhou Daoan lowered his voice, with a little embarrassment on his face.

"Of course, I can't just come with you on the street!" The woman who sold herself automatically ignored the word "chat". Then he graciously grabbed Zhou Daoan's hand and took him away from the main street.

Frank naturally followed.

The three of them turned into the corner, and then they all walked quickly. The woman skillfully turned left and right, leading the two to a cheap apartment.

Then, she pulled out the key and opened the door to a room on the second floor. As soon as you entered the room, you could smell a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol, some of the dresses were casually thrown on the chairs and sofas, and an old wooden bed was very large, and it was placed in the middle of the room.

"I'm the first order today, so I won't take a shower. Which of you will come first? ”

As soon as the woman closed the door with her backhand, she began to take off her clothes. In the summer, although the dress looks tightly wrapped, it looks particularly thin when taken off, and in the blink of an eye, the outer dress is taken off, revealing the corset and underwear inside, and a pair of slightly loose "murder weapons" are half exposed.

Frank's eyes flickered, and he almost forgot what he was here for.

Fortunately, Zhou Daoan was not affected at all, but he quickly stood up, grabbed the hand of the selling girl who was already about to untie his waist with one hand, showed a smile, and said:

"No, don't worry. We have something to talk to you about. ”

"Huh? Still want to have fun? Then I'll tell you, this has to be paid for, after all, I can take on another guest when I serve the two of you, are you sure you still want to chat? The prostitute was not very happy, but the movements of her hands did stop.

"Actually, we have something to ask you...... Still don't know what to call you? Zhou Daoan hurriedly explained, and then he took out a box of cigarettes from his body—this was what he had just bought—and lit it for the prostitute with a courteous face.

"Call me Maggie! ...... "The selling woman took Zhou Daoan's cigarette and took a puff, "Say, what are the requirements?" I try my best to be satisfied with what I can, but I just hope you don't be stingy......"

Zhou Daoan did not dwell on this issue. He also knew that no matter how polite he was, the prostitute named Maggie would not be able to guess their intentions, so he wasted no time and asked:

"What I want to ask is, if you get pregnant unexpectedly, who do you go to to solve the problem?"

"Huh?" As soon as this question came out, Maggie, who was still a little careless, immediately became nervous, she put the cigarette between her two fingers, and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" Why do you ask this? ”

"Don't get me wrong, Maggie, don't be nervous, we're really in trouble before we ask you for help." Zhou Daoan hurriedly explained.

"This bastard, he made my sister's belly bigger! He was an Oriental, a heretic, how could a native of Wudu like us accept him as a member of Old James's family? I won't let my sister give birth to a mongrel! ”

Seeing that Zhou Daoan was explaining, Frank "performed" in a timely manner. Actually, his acting skills are very jerky, but fortunately, all he wants to play is an angry brother, and he only needs to speak loudly and impatiently.

Under the performance of the two singing and harmonizing, Maggie roughly understood this matter:

This fair-eyed Oriental and the younger sister of this authentic young man in the fog capital both work in a certain factory, and the two "hook up" as soon as they come and go. But obviously, the people of Wudu look down on the Orientals, and of course they will not agree to the two being together. Unexpectedly, this Oriental boy came to buy a ticket first and then get on the bus, but the young man in Wudu was so angry that he couldn't do it. Although they "taught" the Oriental people, they didn't expect that after a while, they found that the girl was pregnant, and they had no choice but to have a fetus.

"Yes...... Aren't you going to find a doctor for this? Why are you looking for me? Maggie accepted the matter.

"In a normal clinic, doctors don't take this kind of work at all – they're religious and they don't agree to do that. We went to several clinics, and the doctors either kicked us out or persuaded us to have the baby...... Damn, they really don't have a backache when they stand and talk, if my sister really has a child out of wedlock and a baby, how will she marry in the future? "Frank acted for a while, and seemed to be a little bit into the groove.

Of course, these words were also discussed and deliberated by him and Zhou Daoan in advance - in nineteenth-century Europe, abortion was basically regarded as a "sin" in countries of faith, and serious doctors did not bother to take on such a business. However, where there is a market, there will be supply, and secretly, there will always be doctors who love money and secretly do this business.

Especially in this era when protection measures are very backward, it is common for women to become pregnant unexpectedly. Therefore, behind their group, there must be one or two doctors who help them solve their problems - of course, these are not visible. Therefore, Zhou Daoan has to make up a story, otherwise in an unreasonable situation, even if she gives money, Maggie may not dare to reveal the information of the abortion doctor - that means that once she is discovered, she will isolate herself from this group.

"That's right, how do those hypocrites know about the difficult ...... of our women" Not to mention, this sentence also resonated with Maggie.

"Surely you have to face this kind of problem, right? I'm guessing you must have a personal doctor to help with this...... So I'd like to ask you to help introduce the doctor. Frank said as he poked Zhou Daoan. Zhou Daoan reluctantly took out a fivepence from his pocket and handed it to Maggie.

Fivepence is almost the cost of a "special service" in this era, which is a slightly higher price in the stall of the street. A woman over thirty like Maggie had to meet generous guests to have this income.

Maggie looked at the money handed in front of her, and her face looked a lot better. But she didn't take it right away, but hesitated for a moment, and said:

"You know, people who do this job are not happy to take on new customers......"

"But he's got to make money, right? Why don't you do it if you have a business? Besides, if we hadn't asked him, we wouldn't have bothered to go to such lengths to introduce you......" Frank continued to perform.

At this time, Frank finally understood Zhou Daoan's intentions as the "performance" deepened:

If there is anyone who knows best whether they are pregnant or not, apart from themselves, there is only a doctor who helps them secretly abort the fetus. To find the next target who may become a victim, it is undoubtedly the most convenient to find the doctor behind who serves the prostitute - that is equivalent to having a lot of information about the prostitution! Moreover, it is difficult to follow this line and touch the side of the murderer - after all, the murderer also has to find out who is the pregnant woman, and it is likely that it is also related to this group of abortion doctors.

Thinking of this, Frank couldn't help but be full of energy and perform even harder. In fact, in Zhou Daoan's eyes, Frank's performance still has many loopholes, but dealing with Maggie will not be suspected. Because Frank was right in that statement - who would go to such great lengths to put a bad idea on an abortion doctor? Blackmail, scams, robberies? There's a better goal!

"All you have to do is tell us where to find this doctor, and we'll ask for the rest. You don't need to show you around or introduce you. Frank concluded.

These words finally put Maggie at ease, she took the money handed over by Zhou Daoan, then thought about it, and then advised: "When the time comes, don't say that I told you how to find ......him."

After leaving Maggie's apartment, the two casually found something to eat. Frank is now excited, as if he feels that he has to catch the key clues one step ahead of his colleagues, and is praised by his superiors, and even looks at Zhou Daoan. Zhou Daoan wanted to progress faster so that he could complete the task of gaining favor. So after eating, the two went straight to the address Maggie had said.

Hamberning Street, 12.

It's a long street just two kilometres from St. Mary's Basilica, and it's an old street full of rental apartments. The apartments on this street are undoubtedly much more upscale than Maggie's, and most of them have separate toilets and bathrooms, so the rent is much higher. Most of the people who live here have a stable job – but only for those at the bottom of the ladder, and on the whole, they are still among the poor in the fog.

Zhou Daoan visited the area once with Dr. William, and he remembers that there was not a clinic on the street, only a pharmacy. And follow the address to find it, and coincidentally, the address given by Maggie is this pharmacy without a signboard.
