Chapter 31: The Cunning Swindler

Hobart felt that a tense nerve in his body suddenly relaxed, and his mind was much lighter.

At the same time, he clearly perceived that this was not the digestion of the potion, it could only be regarded as a certain looseness, and it should only be a precursor to digestion.

The role just now was a whim of Hobert, and it was only after getting feedback from the "arbiter" Hugh that it had this unexpected effect.

In an instant, Hobart sensed that the cooperation of the "lawyer" and the "arbitrator" was simply the best partner for digesting potions.

Although Hugh didn't know the "method of playing", she had been a "arbiter" for a long time, and the potions had long been digested, so she was not aware of the process of digesting the potions, and naturally she would not have Hobert's similar experience.

Darkholm on the ground immediately begged for mercy: "This gentleman and young lady, it is they, the people who escaped just now who forced me to do this, please forgive me for my rashness!" I, I am willing to atone for you with all my possessions. ”

Hobert came back to his senses and said coldly, "You don't know Zackery's whereabouts, you're useless to us." Miss Hugh, I suggest hitting the bone of his left leg, his right leg seems to have been injured, and then we will injure his left leg, so that it will be symmetrical. ”

"Zachary is my best friend! He told me a lot of secrets! Duckholm said in a panic: "Before he left, he said that after doing this vote, he will receive the gift of God and gain unparalleled power!" ”

Both Hobert and Hugh stopped.

Darkholm hurriedly continued: "Yes, that's what he said, he said that his body will undergo a qualitative change, and the next time we meet, he will be a strong person that I can't match." ”

Hobert and Hugh looked at each other, this was like a description of being extraordinary, could it be that after completing that scam, Zachary had a chance to become extraordinary?

This shows that there is an organization behind him, is Heyman a member of that organization? Also Zachary's superior?

Hobert stared into Darkholm's eyes, "You know Heyman, don't you?" ”

"No, I don't know! I don't know! ”

Although Hobert's extraordinary abilities did not have the desired effect and did not allow Darkholm to tell information about, he sensed Duckholm's inner struggle and judged that Darkholm was lying.

Hobert didn't debunk it on the spot: "I'm sorry, the information you provided didn't satisfy us, today you have to pay for everything you just did." ”

Miss Hugh said enthusiastically, "I don't think anyone is better at breaking someone's leg bone than I am." ”

Hobert was stunned, remembering that when he was arbitrating against Will, he was also going to break his legs. He didn't quite understand why Hugh was so keen on breaking other people's legs, was it because he couldn't see other people's legs longer than his own?

Duckholm was still begging for mercy and shouting out some information that he thought was valuable, but neither Hobart nor Hugh were interested.

Hugh broke Duckholm's left calf with a cane, causing Duckholm to roll on the ground in pain.

Many of the residents of the courtyard are gently opening a small gap in the window or door, wanting to see the two heroes who can break the leg of the nearby bully Darkholm.

It's hard to imagine that such a small lady has so much strength, while the tall gentleman seems to be watching a play from the side.

Darkholm's screams surprised the occupants at the same time, but also felt very happy, as if they relieved a breath of stuffiness in their chests.

After letting the villain get the punishment he deserved, Hobert and Hugh left the yard quickly, and Hugh was a little disappointed: "The clue is broken." ”

Hobert smiled and said, "Not yet." ”

He looked around and no one noticed them: "I'm sure we'll have something to gain as long as we keep an eye on Duckholm next." ”

Hugh was slightly stunned, but at this moment when the clue was broken, she was willing to believe Hobert's words.

She looked around, then pointed to a building not far away and said, "We can go up to the roof and keep an eye on it." ”

"Good idea."

When the two reached the top floor, Hobart saw how nimble the "arbiter" was, and Hugh jumped from the top floor to the top of the building with his arms propped up.

But Hobert was very embarrassed and needed the help of the little Hugh, so he climbed to the top of the building.

On the roof of the building, you can see Duckholm in the courtyard in the distance, and he has long stopped screaming. And I don't know when he has stood up on his own, jumping out of the courtyard and shouting at his subordinates.

It seems that Duckholm is not as weak as he looks.

After reprimanding his subordinates, Darkholm took the pen and paper handed by his subordinates, wrote a few sentences diligently, and put them in an envelope.

Then he picked a young man from among his subordinates, and seemed to advise him, and the young man nodded again and again, and left with the letter.

Hobert clumsily tumbled down from the top floor and said, "That letter should be the key!" ”

Hugh also probably understood, presumably that Hobart had discovered something just now, and then pretended to leave, allowing Darkholm to expose himself as the mastermind behind him.

Fortunately, the teenager did not go very fast, and Hobert and Hugh chased after him for a few minutes.

The two of them patiently followed from a distance, and it was only after half an hour that the boy threw the letter in his hand into an abandoned mailbox.

By this time, he had left the East End and was in the factory-lined suburbs, where the air smelled pungent, like someone was baking sulfur.

The factory where the mailbox was located was abandoned for unknown reasons, leaving only a few crooked mailboxes in front of the door.

After the boy left, Hobert and Hugh found a hidden place to keep an eye on the letterbox, and now they only had to stare at the letter to find the person behind Darkholm.

Hobert guessed in his heart that that person was likely to be Heyman, even if he only knew Heyman's address, it was a very important clue.

Time passed slowly while waiting, until the sun was setting in the west, and a man in a dark trench coat and a hat went to the mailbox to pick up the letter after carefully observing the surroundings.

The collar of the other party's trench coat was standing, and the brim of the hat was very low, so that his face could not be seen at all.

After receiving the letter, he left unhurriedly.

Hobert and Hugh hurriedly followed, and the other party was most likely extraordinary, so the two still didn't dare to follow too closely.

After following two streets, the other walked unhurriedly into a small street for only two or three people in parallel, and when Hobert and Hugh came to the intersection of the street, they found that the other had already run.

Worst! It's been discovered!

The other party's choice of escape time is good, maybe as soon as he turns into the narrow street, he starts running.

At this time, the two engines had already opened up some distance, and the opponent turned again and disappeared from the field of vision of Hobart and Hugh.

Fortunately, the streets in the factory area are very long, and when the two people chase after the new intersection, the other party's figure is still in sight.

There were several workers on the street, including a middle-aged worker in dirty overalls, who approached Hobart and Hugh and watched the chase with curiosity.

Hobart sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't do so much at this time, and the two of them finally caught up with each other with some effort.

Hugh kicked the other man to the ground from behind, and when he took the two men, he saw a frightened face, and under the clean trench coat and hat, were tattered overalls.

Hobert realized something was wrong: "Why are you running?" ”

"Yes, someone gave me £1 in cash and told me to run as hard as I could in his clothes!"

Hobart immediately thought of the middle-aged worker who was coming to him just now: "Fooled! ”
