Chapter 396: First Punch!
"Glimmer?"
Wei recognized it at a glance and was shocked.
In this sewer, there were a total of five vials of Shimmer Elixir, two of which were shattered, and the Shimmer Elixir inside flowed to nowhere else.
The other three bottles appeared to be intact, shimmering with purple light under the gaze of the gaze.
"Obviously, that's where we're missing."
Caitlyn's eyes lit up, and she felt like her mouth was suddenly open, and she couldn't tell what was wrong before, but now it made sense.
The two of them immediately took out the three bottles of Shimmer Elixir from the sewer.
"Judging by the old and new bags, these shimmering elixirs have been wanted to be shipped to in the last few days."
Caitlin calmly analyzed.
Vi raised her head from her contemplation and said, "Recently, there have indeed been bold guys who have taken the risk of secretly selling Shimmer Elixirs, and although Hilco's factory has been destroyed, these potions do not seem to have withdrawn from the market. β
With the destruction of the Shimmer Factory and the listing of the Shimmer Elixir as a banned drug, the purple-colored Elixir has indeed disappeared a lot.
However, it will still quietly appear on the market, and it seems that it is impossible to completely ban its origin.
Caitlin asked, "How much do they cost?" β
"It's several times more expensive than before, and just this small bottle of Shimmer Elixir can sell for a lot of money."
Wei picked up a bottle of shimmering potion in his hand and stared at it for a few seconds.
"It stands to reason that something so valuable shouldn't be discarded in the sewer like this."
Caitlyn continued to bow her head slightly, and began to analyze, "Judging from the fact that we have found it, it seems that the discarder has no intention of coming to find it."
"You mean?"
Wei also thought of something at this time, and said with a cold face, "I'll go to Miranda and ask for clarification." β
There is only one possibility in the current situation, and that is that someone has smuggled the Shimmer Elixir from this alley.
It's either Miranda or someone else.
And it's just these two days!
The interests of the Zuan people are paramount, and if they accidentally lose such an important property, they will definitely come back to look for it, rather than just leave it there.
Obviously, there is a situation in between.
As for what the situation is, just ask Miranda.
With the evidence in hand, Miranda has no room for quibble.
Soon, Miranda was called over, and Wei was not polite, and directly took out the shimmer potion and said coldly: "You should know this, right?" β
"Glimmer?"
Naturally, it is impossible for Miranda not to know, she is still a little confused, and she doesn't know what the situation is.
"Very well, now answer me a question." Wei slowly approached, revealing an aura all over his body, "These shimmering elixirs, are they smugglers under your hands?" β
As soon as she heard this, Miranda's face changed greatly, and she immediately shook her head and denied: "How is it possible, now that Shimmer is listed as a banned drug, and my gang doesn't rely on this to make money, why not take this risk for a few bottles of Shimmer." Someone must be trying to frame me. β
She felt that everything had been unfavorable recently, not to mention the death of two horses on her own territory, and now she had been found to be a glimmer of light.
Observing her expression closely, Vi was sure that Miranda wasn't lying.
First of all, this is indeed the truth.
The Grey Spikes' way of making money isn't smuggling contraband, and Miranda really doesn't take that risk for a few bottles of glimmer.
In other words, unless it is Gray Nail who helps Ma Zai to be bold and reckless, it means that there are other people who are smuggling and selling banned drugs.
"Putting aside the first scenario, we can only count on the second clue at the moment."
After thinking about it, Caitlyn said, "This is the only clue we can investigate now, and we must be quick to figure out the origin of these bottles of Shimmer." I suspect that there was a third person on the night the two deceased were killed, but she did not die, but managed to escape. β
"Okay, wait for me." Wei nodded solemnly and turned around.
She knew she couldn't just count on Caitlyn, and as the Downtown's talker, she had to do her part.
The only thing to do now is to find out the origin of these bottles of Shimmer.
And Miranda was particularly annoyed at this time, thinking that she would also catch this guy who dared to smuggle and sell banned drugs on her territory.
So he immediately went to order his subordinates and began to investigate.
At this time, Wei's anger value was not small, and she directly smashed the black market.
The black market is originally for the sale of goods that are not very common in the market, and there have always been rules that everyone acquiesces and follows.
For this place, Vi doesn't have too many restrictions.
Because this is tantamount to stifling the livelihood of many Zuan people, Zuan is different from normal cities, in a sense, it is a 'abandoned' city.
Resources are depleted, and there is still a city of progress on their heads, but in this environment, the people of Zuan are still self-reliant, and they are living better and better.
The black market is where many people profit from it, and now the black market also has a lot of influence.
But right now, Wei, who is extremely unhappy, is directly selected on the table.
The people in the black market obviously didn't see her as a manager, and in that case, they were talking about fart.
If you have any words, punch first and then ask!
In fact, even if it is a black market, it is afraid of a pair of unreasonable iron fists.
And those who have the ability to see it have indeed seen it, and this time Wei is really angry.
At this time, if anyone dares to touch his bad head, he may only consider himself unlucky.
And Wei's intuition is indeed right, this batch of shimmering elixirs is indeed flowing from the black market, although it is impossible to know where it is produced, but it can still be found out who it went to.
So soon, following the clues, Wei found Doral hiding in the slums of the lower city.
Doral is self-employed and does not belong to any gang.
When Vi found him, he was lying on his stomach, sleeping soundly. After being awakened, he was directly scared on the spot.
"Doral, I know you, a well-known addict, but let me find it."
Wearing a pair of Hex gloves, Vi walked towards Doral with a cold face.
"IβWhat's wrong with me?"
Doral was so frightened that he crawled, perhaps knowing Wei's intention, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and he leaned against the wall and shivered.
Wei was not polite, lifted a fist glove, and pressed it towards Doral's arm, as she began to exert force, Doral suddenly gasped in pain, and cold sweat flowed on his head.
"You can tell I'm in a bad mood right now, so let's talk less nonsense."
Wei exerted her strength little by little, and even heard the 'crunch' sound of bones, she asked, "A hint for you, those bottles of shimmer, say something I'm interested in." β
Doral was about to roar in pain, he was already a pale addict, so his face was like ash, no different from a zombie.
"I said, I said, please, let go first, I'm dying of pain."
He was in tears, and he didn't resist it at all, so he planned to do it all.
Wei let go of her hand and didn't say a word, waiting for Doral to take the initiative to explain.
"I really just got greedy for a while."
Doral wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Wei's face turn cold, he hurriedly shrank into the corner and said, "Girl, that girl!" β
When Wei heard this, his eyes flashed slightly: "Let's talk about it in detail, which girl." β
"I bought these bottles of Shimmer at a low price on the black market, and I can sell them for a good price as soon as I sell them. But I didn't dare to sell it directly, so I found a girl from a civilian area whose mother was sick. I told her that as long as she sent Shimmer to the designated location, she would get a sum of money. β
"But I didn't expect that something like that would happen."
"The next day someone died, and there was so much commotion, I was so scared that I hid here."
Doral said everything almost in one go, and he was really scared to see his expression.
After all, it is a smuggling of banned drugs, and if you are caught, you will be sent directly to prison.
He didn't even dare to look for the girl, let alone the whereabouts of the bottles of Glimmer.
"It's like an addict can do it, and find a girl who doesn't know about it."
The contempt and disdain on Vi's face came out, and she despised people like Doral the most.
She would have beaten her up a long time ago, but now she suspected that this guy couldn't bear to beat herself.
He still has something to use now, so Wei raised his hand and grabbed Doral like a chicken: "Take me to that girl." β
"Good."
Doral didn't dare to refuse at all.
Before looking for the girl, Vi went to Caitlyn and called her along.
From Doral's description, it was already confirmed that there was indeed a third person that night, the girl.
She must have seen something.
Several people, led by Doral, went to the civilian area.
The civilian area of Zu'an is not small, after all, most of the people live here, and there is a gap between the rich and the poor in this area, but it is also a place full of dreams.
Many of the rich men in Zu'an now came out of the civilian area.
When Doral and the others found the girl, she was putting freshly washed clothes on the hanger.
After seeing a few people, he was also stunned.
After reacting, the girl immediately lowered her head: "Please let me go this time, I didn't know that the bag contained forbidden drugs, but I had no choice at that time"
"Don't worry, we're not here to get you."
Wei looked at the girl's depressed mood and said softly.
The girl looked up, a little puzzled in her eyes, she really thought that these people had come to arrest her because of the events of that night.
"I want you to calmly describe what you saw that night."
Wei looked at the girl and said, "You don't know, four people died that night, and four more died the next day, and we are now tracking down the murderer." β
"Ahh
The girl was startled and thought of the loss of eight lives, but soon the werewolf face and her own experience that night flashed back to her mind.
When she heard that they were going to capture the werewolf who had saved her, she instinctively didn't want to tell it.
"I didn't see anything."
The girl's eyes were evasive, and it was clear that she would not lie, or be betrayed by nervousness.
The more she was like this, the more she and Caitlin were convinced that she must have seen the murderer.
"Listen, we have no ill will. But after all, it is eight lives, whether it is good or bad, we must have an understanding of the murderer. If he is a psychopathic murderer, sooner or later more innocent people will die because of him. β
Wei said to the girl with a serious expression.
The girl blurted out: "No"
Wei immediately asked, "What wouldn't be?" β
The girl knew that she could not hide it, lowered her head and said: "I don't think he will hurt innocent people, otherwise I would have died that night." β
Catelyn's eyes flashed, and she asked, "You mean the murderer?" What really happened that night? β
"I walked into the alley that night."
The girl skipped the details of her encounter with Doral and spoke directly from the moment she entered the alley.
It is said that she soon met the yellow-haired man and the black-haired man, and the two forced her into a corner.
When she said this, the girl's mood was obviously lower, her lips trembled, her eyes were moist, and she said with a slight sob: "They. Think. Think of me."
"Okay, it's okay, we got it."
Caitlyn stepped forward, gently hugged the girl, and soothed.
She and Vi could already hear what the girl had been through that night.
A young girl in the flower season was almost ruthlessly destroyed by two gang bastards.
Wei's eyes also flashed with anger and coldness at this time, and this was what she hated the most.
At this moment, in Wei's chest, anger continued to surge.
At this time, the girl who had calmed her emotions also continued to speak: "Then, he appeared. β
"Him?"
"Well, he has a pair of red eyes, which are scary at first glance. They were also frightened when they suddenly appeared from the haze until he revealed his figure. β
The girl skipped the experience she didn't want to recall, and went on to tell a scene she would never forget.
"He was very tall, with long hair, and a face like a wolf, but he could stand like a human. Behind his back and on his body, there are some sticks in there. Pumps and pipes."
The girl slowly described according to her impressions.
Caitlyn and Vi quickly made up an image of each other, and they looked at each other.
Wei asked with some disbelief, "You mean, he's a werewolf?" β
Caitlyn had played werewolf killing, and had seen the werewolf described by His Highness, which was not much different from what the girl said.
And werewolves are also easy to associate, that is, they look like wolves, but behave like people.
Zaun actually appeared with such a creature?
This made the two of them a little unconvinced of the girl's words, and they thought that the girl was probably protecting the murderer.
After all, if it weren't for him, she would have been murdered by black-haired and yellow-haired men.
Looking up and seeing the slightly suspicious eyes of the two, the girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I know you think I'm lying, but that's what I saw." β
In any case, listen before you decide.
Caitlin asked, "And after that?" β
Then the brunette man was frightened and fired three shots at him, he did not dodge or dodge, but seemed to be enraged, and let out a howl that frightened them into turning and running away. The brunette pushed me down, and he slowly approached me."
When the girl said this, she was not afraid.
The two of them listened to her description, and they couldn't help but get angry in their hearts, and at this time, the sinister intentions of the black-haired man obviously didn't need to be guessed.
"I was too scared to move, and then I closed my eyes. But after waiting for a while, I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me not far away. It seemed like confirming that I was okay. β
"When he saw that I was okay, he spoke, and he told me to leave quickly, and then chased after the two men without looking back."
"I don't know what happened next, I ran all the way home."
The girl recalls the details of that night, the human look in his eyes when he was finally separated from the werewolf.
I still feel a touch of warmth in my heart.
Because she knew that although the werewolf looked scary, he didn't mean to hurt her.
Therefore, he is definitely not a psychopath or likes to kill innocents indiscriminately, as described by Vi and Caitlin.
