Chapter 8: David

Ryan turned his head, and the izakaya owner was giving him a thumbs up, as if he had seen something that surprised him.

"It's really impressive, I can't imagine that you kid will be able to flirt with girls one day!"

"David, don't tell me you learned these words from the old internet," Ryan said, staring at the man in the chef's suit in front of him.

David silently took off his chef's suit, took two bottles of beer from under the counter, handed one to Ryan, and said.

"I'll go! You're a caveman who can go online?"

David asked in surprise, and then he added.

"Yes and not exactly! There is an account on the Internet called LY that is digging some things on the edge of the dark web and posting them on the Internet, some irrelevant entertainment, the company doesn't care, everyone just goes to watch and have fun! ”

Ryan thought of what Kia had just said to himself in the alley, and naturally began to think about it.

LY is Kia? Ryan began to think, took the beer handed over by David in one hand, saw the steamed bun in front of him, and said to David.

"Why don't you bring something else out to eat?"

"I'll go! If I were alone, I could give the whole store to you, but now I am a family person, and my wife will come to check the accounts at night! I'm sorry she'll pick my skin! David said to Ryan with a bitter face.

After listening to this, Ryan also gave a thumbs up and said to David.

"You're synthetic beef, see real beef! You're the real awesome! ”

"You're a fast learner, but what I'm saying is true!"

"You're only a month before I came back from New Atlanta! What the did you tell me you're married?"

"Really! Even the female owner of the flower shop in the corner of the Japanese street! She and I got engaged a week ago! ”

"It's okay to lie to your brother, but don't lie to yourself!"

Ryan looked at David's serious look and began to wonder if there was something wrong with his professional micro-expression.

"Let me tell you, even the day I returned to Night City from New Atlanta, I was drinking at the Wolf Bar! Then she drank with a few of her friends at the next table, and later I learned it was to celebrate her success as a flower shop owner! Her flower shop is a chain industry of the Arasaka Group! Then she was drunk, she and a few of her friends were separated at the door of the bar, but she didn't let her friends send her back, she insisted that she wasn't drunk, but her friends couldn't help her and left first, I just came out after drinking, and as soon as I came out, this girl just fell on me unconscious! ”

"And then?" Ryan asked with some curiosity

"Then I thought, don't be in vain with the beautiful woman who sent it to the door! I happened to be a little drunk, so I carried her to a hotel casually; It turned out that this guy was actually a chick! I went, I was also beautiful, and my body was basically unprosthetic, and I looked like a daughter; The next day I found out that she had left first, and to be honest, I was still a little overwhelmed! And guess what! I actually ran into her in Japantown! David recalled.

"And then?" Ryan asked.

"And then it's an old-fashioned plot! I pursued her, she fell in love with me, and we got engaged! David said with a smile.

"Although the rent and decoration of this izakaya are the responsibility of the Arasaka company, I buy and sell the ingredients myself, and there are few customers in this ghost place for a month! It's normal to sell expensive! Besides, I still have to marry a wife, and the little salary from Arasaka and the income from this shop are completely insufficient! ”

"You're back to your old ways?"

"What do you call the old business! Dexter is dead, and some of the new middlemen are basically making a lot of money and making it easy! But I've just started getting one, so I don't have much money right now, and I'm still paying for your beer! And you didn't pay for that baked steamed bun! ”

Ryan was silent, and Kia's move of fleeing just now seemed to be reasonable.

This is the second time I've been cheated by Kia, right?

"What? You're also the first Arasaka agent in our issue, why can't you get this little money out? David quipped

"You're embarrassed to say it! If you don't pull me away in the finals of the New Atlanta Boxing Tournament, you will have a prize of 100,000! ”

"I'll go! I'm saving you! You almost beat the runner to death! ”

"When he makes small moves, I should cut off all the heads of him and his agent! Will you save me or save him! ”

"You want to kill people openly in other people's fields, and there are dozens of security guards with guns watching next to you, what are you doing if you are not looking for death?" David seemed a little unconvinced and retorted

"If you don't have the money, do my commission! 6,000 euros, let's split it fifty-fifty. ”

With that, David handed a chip to Ryan, who heard David's words

"Why did I help you complete the commission?"

"You're not married! Otherwise, I'll give you 100,000 euros when you get married! I'll give you my treasured vodka again! ”

Ryan glanced at David and said slowly.

"I still believe in 100,000 euros, vodka, you should save it! When the time comes, you won't have to die of distress. ”

David took out a handful of chicken skewers from the oven and took out a few bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator.

"You can get married, iron trees can bloom, and sows can go up trees!"

Ryan didn't speak, just silently began to eat chicken skewers, drank beer, and then inserted the chip that David handed him into his card slot.

The goal of the mission is the LY they just mentioned, and the employer needs to know the details of LY's identity, home address, and anything useful.

And in addition to the mission information in the chip, there is only a photo that is not clear, Ryan guessed wrong, not Qiya! But also a familiar one!

Ryan exited the chip's information page, as if thinking about something, and his peripheral vision saw the lonely corpse of the little beggar outside the izakaya window.

"Find someone to dispose of that little beggar's body."

"That little beggar has been dead for more than half an hour, and the scavengers don't want it, who wants it?" David asked, a little puzzled

"I mean cremated," Ryan said lightly

"I'll go! Why? Did you take the wrong pill? Are you still the executioner Ryan I knew? David looked at Ryan, and his words seemed a little incredible.

"I don't know why, I just think I should do it." Ryan was silent for a moment when he heard David's words, and then spoke.

"Okay! But the money is owed to me! When the time comes, it will be deducted from the bonus of the commission! ”

"Don't worry, I know who the guy in the LY picture is. The investigation information is very fast. Ryan took a sip of his beer and said to David.

"You brag! I asked the third child to match the NCPD database for a long time but didn't find any information about the person, as if he had a appearance out of thin air! ”

"The third?" Ryan was stunned for a moment when he heard this title, and then said, "I haven't heard from the third child for a few years, and you still have contact?" What is he doing now?"

"He's the hottest new detective in Night City right now! Recently, I seem to have just been promoted to deputy chief of police in Westbrook District! "David said, I went to the Arabanta a few months ago to submit the second-tier application, and I met our instructor in that term, guess what he said?

"The first is to travel around with the idiots of the Special Operations Department, and the second is to go to the second line to retire with those eighty or ninety old people, and only the third one has taken on the big responsibility!"

"Then again," David suddenly changed his words, "We've known each other for more than ten years!" It's the first time I've seen you do that to a woman. ”

"What?" Ryan was stunned

"I'll go, if other women scolded you, you would have cut out your tongue long ago! Remember when you were in Toronto seven years ago? There was also a woman in the restaurant who scolded you a few words, you didn't say a word, you held her head and cut off her tongue, and the third guy couldn't stop you by holding your waist, it's so cruel! David recalled, "But after that, the third child scolded you for not cutting out his tongue, you just beat him up and let him stay in the hospital for two weeks, what's the matter, that woman is also your brother?"

"He is a member of Ruth's team, and the Wild Board Industrial Park also needs her help, and my efforts for more than ten years will be in vain if I kill her!" Ryan took a sip of beer and said lightly.

"Really?" David didn't seem to believe Ryan's words.

"Believe it or not, by the way, lend me some money," Ryan said

"What are you borrowing money for?"

"Buy fried chicken."

"Buy fried chicken?"

"Yes, fried chicken at the third place on the left hand side of Japantown." Ryan replied

"Which flavor are you going to buy?" Different flavors have different price differences. David asked

“......”

"How many flavors are there?" Ryan was silent for a moment and asked.

"Seven, with prices ranging from 5 to 12 euros." David replied, "What are you doing with your usual salary and bonuses?"

"Do you know this person Arasaka Himetsuki?"

"Don't change the subject!" David said aloud.

Ryan just didn't say anything, and looked at David coldly.

"Well, I have this person's profile; After the death of Saburo Arasaka, Yoshinobu Arasaka plans to purge some high-level shareholders, and he and your boss, the head of the Operations Department, Teiichi Fujimiya, are trying to find a way to compete for the position of that high-level shareholder! David said, "If you don't become a shareholder of the company, you're just a puppet of the company's top management, and their ministers are just dogs who obey orders, so they want to climb up desperately if they have the opportunity!" ”

Ryan finished his beer, looked at the current time, and then looked at the address Kia had sent him.

The address is in the valley area of Santo Domingo, not too far! It takes about half an hour from Japan Town.

David took out the 500 euros in cash and handed it to Ryan.

"Why aren't you afraid of your wife?"

"you! You owe me money, don't forget! ”

"I can't forget, thank you!"

Ryan got up and left David's izakaya.

The table was full of leftovers from what they had just eaten, and David silently cleaned it up by himself.

There are still a few skewers of chicken skewers, the beer is drunk, and the grilled steamed buns are not eaten.
