Chapter 69: Deception

Out of the room.

Dean first called Malago, asked him to arrange for a few people to keep Marina in check, and then asked him for two undocumented pistols.

Thanks to previous collaborations.

Marago quickly brought someone over, and at the same time threw a small bag into Dean's hand: "These two small toys are given to you, home-made, they haven't been used since they came out, call me if you have any questions." ”

He didn't even ask what Dean was going to do with the gun.

"Thank you, I owe you once."

After Dean checked the pistol bullets and made sure there was no problem, he took Harry and drove to the address provided by Marina.

It was a remote motel about thirty miles outside of the small town of Del Rio.

This thing can be regarded as a characteristic product of the United States.

Especially some remote uninhabited areas.

Some people will set up such a place on the side of the road, accommodation, meals, car repairs, and even refueling, all in one service.

In a lot of horror movies.

These places are often also dens where some perverts like to disguise.

All they had to do was throw some triangular spikes on the road in front of the hotel.

Those unlucky ones will come to the door on their own initiative.

In this country, if you go far away, you don't carry a gun, and a pleasant car trip may become the last memory in the minds of your acquaintances.

...

Out of the small town of Del Rio.

Harry finally came alive a bit: "Dean, do you feel like the Del Rio Bureau... Like a legit gangster stronghold? ”

"Then you don't think I'm a good fit for the environment?" Dean smiled: "Harry, man, if we can't change the environment, we have to learn to adapt quickly, even if it's disguise, don't let you be like a husky mixed in with wolves, so that you can live better!" ”

As he spoke, he lifted the pouch on his hand.

Harry nodded hesitantly.

That's just as well.

If it weren't for Dean's performance, which made Malago feel like he was one of his kind, he would never have let them into the precinct so easily, and now gave them two pistols.

It's all credit to Dean.

"Well, you're right." Harry looked at the scenery outside: "I just feel like you've changed when you come to Texas." ”

"That's because you don't know me." , Dean lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said a little melancholy: "As soon as I entered the Anti-Drug Division, I was sent undercover and almost died inside, and since then, I have grown a lot." ”

Harry looked at Dean in surprise: "FK, I remember, no wonder Captain Munn said at the beginning that there would be a ruthless man in our squadron, we were all confused by your usual gentleness, damn it, Dean, it turns out that you are a bad wolf." ”

"Haha, yes, so follow me, there's meat to eat!" Dean laughed.

After the words are opened.

Harry's heart has been faintly uneasy, and he is relieved, and his face has returned to the cheap demeanor of Los Angeles.

...

The wide, earthy yellow road is deserted.

Dean is not slow to drive.

The two talked and laughed.

After about ten minutes.

An old single-family two-story log cabin came into view.

Dean parked the car directly on the side of the road and said to Harry, "Grab a gun, stay behind this house, and rush up to support me if there is any movement!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll have your back, Dean!" Harry nodded heavily.

Dean put down Harry, started the car again, and drove towards the small hotel.

Outside the hotel, there is a flat land.

All that was parked was a tattered, dusty gray pickup truck.

When Dean got out of the car, he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Because this pickup truck belongs to a two-seater, it obviously will not be a car driven by the three of Marina.

Could it be that Bert and his mother just used Malina as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the police, and the two of them have quietly left?

Dean glanced around, rejecting the idea.

The climate here is dry and dusty.

If the car stops for a few days and then leaves suddenly, within a day or two, it will leave a clear outline in the car's original location.

But Dean found no such traces.

Or, Marina lied to him!

Or, Bert their car, at least three days ago, left!

Dean's mind, remembering Marina's pitiful little face with baby fat and timidity, shook his head and walked towards the main entrance of the motel.

I hope Marina isn't lying to herself!

He didn't have much patience anymore.

Probably there are not many passers-by here.

There was no one at the front desk of the hotel, but there was a card on the counter that said: If there is no one at the front desk, then I will sleep on my stomach.

Dean took a closer look and found a young man with a somewhat immature face, lying under the counter, sleeping peacefully.

Knock knock~

Dean knocked on the counter, "Dude, wake up!" ”

"Huh?" , The guy slept very lightly, opened his eyes a little confused, and only after seeing Dean did he smile: "Guest, what do you need help with?" ”

"Get up, I'm Officer Dean, I have something to ask you!" , Dean took out the detective card and quickly put it away.

He doesn't have the power to enforce the law here, but that doesn't stop him from acting under his skin.

If the guy is not sensible.

The pistol at his waist will also be very convincing!

"Officer?" , the young man's eyes panicked: "I've been safe and sound here, is there something going on around me?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, have you seen these people?" Dean pulls out a photo of Marina's family.

The young man looked at it for a while, and nodded hesitantly: "Except for the middle-aged man, the other three have indeed lived here for a few days." ”

"What about them?"

The guy opened his mouth, and his speech became smooth: "Left, left yesterday, it's strange to say, they sent the little girl away the day before yesterday, and then came back for one night, and checked out early yesterday morning." ”

"Yesterday?" Dean smiled kindly: "Are you sure?" ”

"OK..."

Touch~

The boy's head was dragged by Dean's right hand by the hair and slammed into the counter.

"I hate it when someone lied to me, and if you waste my time, I'll let you sleep here, and now tell me, when did they leave?"

When the young man's head was lifted up again, his little green face was already very embarrassed by the nosebleed.

He looked at Dean in horror and didn't dare to lie anymore: "The day before yesterday, officer, I swear, they really left the day before yesterday, and that little girl gave me five hundred dollars of dollars, so that I had someone to ask, and I said that I left yesterday!" ”

"Three people together?"

"Yes, three of them together, it's the man's car!"

"Very good, take me to their previous room!"

"It's in the back, the first one is!"

Dean dragged the man by the hair, dragged him to the back of the hotel, and kicked the door open.

As soon as you enter the door.

And he noticed something unusual!

Not under the bright field of view.

The color of the floor, something is wrong!
