Chapter 55: The Gold Diggers

"In the 17th arrondissement, there are two types of bars, one is an entertainment place for ordinary citizens to party; The other is an intelligence trading transit station formed by the original gold diggers who gathered a large number of intelligence traffickers. ”

Lu Xiang seems to know a lot about the bars in the 17th district, "If you want to catch a drug dealer, you have to go to the front one." ”

"Gold diggers?"

This is the first time Song Lan has heard of this identity.

"With the dream of getting rich overnight, the general term for the people who came to the border from various cities, they should belong to a neutral organization in the 17th district, as long as the money is in place, they can buy a lot of intelligence, whether it is the criminal group or the law enforcement department in the 17th district, they will give them some face, which also makes those bars the best place for the security environment in the 17th district."

There is an unspoken rule in these bars.

The grudge is left outside the door, and even if the enemies see each other when they enter the door, they can only pretend that they don't see each other.

Once blacklisted for making trouble in a bar, it is no longer possible to buy information from information dealers.

"The best security environment?"

Song Lan's eyes lit up.

The reason why he used to shy away from bars was that such establishments usually had a large number of thugs and criminals, and it was often reported on the news that someone would be opened by the thugs after a drink.

He's a far-sighted person, dressed as a wallen, and if he goes to a bar for team building, it's simply a humanoid self-propelled gangster attractor.

The best way to prevent being provoked by the thugs is to stay at home and not go to the bar, but now, Lu Xiang has proposed a good-sounding team building location.

"Are you interested?"

"A little."

Hearing this, Lu Xiang glanced at the time and said, "Then I'll take you there for a walk." ”

At 10 p.m., it's time for the Gold Digger Bar to open.

"Now?"

Song Lan didn't expect Lu Xiang's action to be so strong.

"I also happen to have some information that I want to know, and I originally planned to go there in the next few days."

"I'm changing my clothes."

……

After a while, Lu Xiang's hovercar slowly stopped in the back parking lot of an old building, and Song Lan was shocked by the scene in front of him as soon as he got out of the back seat.

As far as the eye can see, the back alley of the Gold Digger's Bar is home to a large number of moxicans.

Tight leather jackets and leather trousers, colorful hair, and some even unabashedly holding a barred mace, a scene that seemed to take him directly back to the end of the century.

"Are you sure the security environment is good here?"

Song Lan asked nervously.

"They're security guards, and as long as you're not making trouble in the bar, these people won't come to your trouble."

Lu Xiang said again, "Don't underestimate them, they are all carefully selected thugs from among the gold diggers, and it is quite unwise to fight with them in a small environment." ”

There have been cases of criminals with bounties of more than 100,000 watts getting drunk in a bar, being beaten on the head by the moxicans here and thrown into a trash can in the back alley.

The two of them entered the bar called "The Wanderer" from the back alley one after the other.

The bar seems to have just opened, and unlike Song Lan's impression of a place full of loud music, this bar is only decorated with a very light melody, and the layout of the bar is divided into a series of compartments, the cubicles are very private, and there are already people in the cubicles near the back door.

Seeing Lu Xiang enter the door, many intelligence dealers were dazzled, or greeted her with their eyes, or waved to greet her, it is not difficult to see that Lu Xiang is not only a frequent visitor here, but also very popular.

"It's a place where law enforcement and criminals from the 'outside' are popular."

Lu Xiang explained, "We are one of their important sources of intelligence, where in addition to paying for information, they can also use intelligence to trade...... You wait for me here, I still have some business to attend to. ”

She led Song Lan to the bar counter in the center of the bar, and walked towards one of the cubicles with a word of advice.

From the translucent glass, it can be seen that there are already many people sitting in the compartment, and before Lu Xiang can enter the door, the woman led by her got up and greeted her directly.

"Aofe, one of our founders here."

The bartender stepped forward and said, while pushing a glass of mixed wine to Song Lan, "This cup is what I invited you, my name is Ivan." ”

"Song Lan."

Song Lan took the wine glass, he didn't have the habit of drinking heavily in 2020 or 2166, but out of politeness, he still drank the liquid that looked clear in the glass.

Then, he regretted it.

Damn, it's vodka!

For those who don't have the habit of drinking, this sip was a bit violent, causing Song Lan to be a little dizzy for a while, and when he recovered from the impact of vodka, he immediately took this lesson to heart - you must be careful when a bartender whose name sounds like a Soviet man hands you wine.

"Happy, another drink?"

"Nope."

Song Lan waved his hand again and again, his eyes flickered, and he froze on the most eye-catching projection in the bar, and the red letter at the top of the projection quickly diverted the topic, "What does that 'enthusiastic citizen' mean?" ”

"Oh, that's, that's the most valuable piece of information in District 17 right now."

Ivan knew that Song Lan was coming for the first time, so he patiently explained, "That projection is equivalent to a place where a reward is posted, as for that 'enthusiastic citizen'...... The mysterious killer who killed Chai Ke and Fein-Elnium, the law enforcers, the Inspectorate, the intelligence traffickers, and the local criminals, the entire city is asking for the identity of this man, which is probably the most valuable piece of information ever written in the Seventeenth District. ”

And this killer can also afford to be described as elusive.

In the face of the pursuit of many forces, he was stunned and did not leave any substantive clues.

"Speaking of which, do you have any inside information there? After all, you investigated the scene, and you took the body of Fein-Elnim with you. ”

If Song Lan had come a few days earlier, she would have found that Finn-Elnium's name was second only to "Enthusiastic Citizen".

"Nope."

Song Lan shook her head, "There are no clues, what does the 'Big Four' below mean?" ”

"After Chai Ke's death, the leaders of the four most powerful criminal groups in the Seventeenth District, recently everyone has been betting on who can finally replace Chai Ke and suppress the other three."

As he spoke, Ivan suddenly lowered his voice, "But I pressed you enforcers by 200 watts. ”

"And the option to press us?"

"In my opinion, Chai Ke has fallen, and you law enforcers are now the strongest force in the Seventeenth District, and those four groups will be cleaned up by you sooner or later."

Of course, you can't say it out loud in the "Wanderer", after all, the leaders of the four criminal groups are also frequent visitors here.

Although the rule is that you can't do anything in a bar, if you are hated by the insidious criminals, they are likely to send someone to follow him and do it on his way home.

"I don't think they have figured out the situation at all, the 17th arrondissement is different now, and the criminals will soon have no market here."
