Some things must be done by yourself. Asking other people for help will only drag them down.
Mike understands this.
He knew very well that Victor had already taken a big enough risk by taking him in.
Taking advantage of the current relaxation of control in the dock area, Mike must go back to inquire about the situation. The most important thing is to find the whereabouts of his sister.
Of course such an operation must be carried out at night.
He put on casual clothes, disguised himself and arrived at the territory that originally belonged to the Cambino family.
There are almost no police patrols on the streets, and the streets are full of all kinds of smugglers, prostitutes, gangsters and gangsters.
Some of those sites, warehouses, markets and other places have been smashed and destroyed, while others have been taken over by people from the cigar club and continue to operate.
The police department's bragging about improved security is simply deceiving itself. They just replaced the thugs who originally belonged to the Cambino family with thugs from the Cigar Club. The security in the streets is even worse, because the Cigar Club is not as particular about the neighborhood as Malone.
Love.
Mike is powerless to stop this, and that's not his purpose tonight.
He pulled up his collar, avoided the gangsters at the roadside cigar club, and came to the address of the sneaky man photographed in the newspaper.
That warehouse used to be a gathering place for Sai Latu's men, but now it has become a place controlled by the Cigar Club.
There is a ruffian guarding the door, the single door is open, and there are several people playing cards inside.
Mike leaned on the corner, hiding behind the oil drum and burying his head to look at it.
The guess in his mind was already close to ten.
Since this place has been taken over by the Cigar Club, and Sai Latu's henchmen have been here in the past two days, can it be proved that Sai Latu has betrayed the Cambino family?
Malone was also shot dead on Sai Latu's territory. Looking at it now, it was not that Sai Latu was killed in advance by people from the Cigar Club, but that he had been cooperating with the Cigar Club to ambush him.
The people inside were playing cards very loudly, and the fierce dispute aroused Mike's anger.
He didn't understand that his father was not a person who was greedy for power and money. He had never done anything to make a fool of himself. He, Sai Latu, followed Ma Long and conquered the world. He already had money and territory, so why would he betray Kan?
Bino family?
Is it really because of greed? Do you want to get more and take control of the entire dock instead of Malone?
The extreme anger made Mike gradually become emotionally unstable. He unknowingly used the invisible technique of secret transmission to convey this emotion to the guys playing cards in the warehouse.
It didn't take long for them to start arguing. The loser was unconvinced and started to fight with the winner, and a fight was about to begin.
But suddenly, Mike heard that in their insults to each other, they actually mentioned the little girl from the Cambino family.
His heart skipped a beat, and he listened carefully, his pupils gradually enlarging as the other person spoke, and eventually his eyes became extremely red, and his emotions gradually lost control...
……
Back at the clinic, after Victor and De Gaulle asked Dr. Depp, they left the clinic filled with worries.
There was an episode before they left. Victor intentionally or unintentionally inquired whether Dr. Depp had a legal license, and received an affirmative answer from the other party.
He secretly noted this down, thinking about asking Will to come over and talk to him in two days to see if Dr. Depp was willing to cooperate.
Because from previous exchanges, Victor could see that Depp was not a rigid person, and the reason why he accepted Dutch's employment was because of his high remuneration. It might be possible to open a liquor dispensary with him as a partner.
The two walked to the street. De Gaulle saw that it was getting late and suggested that Victor go home first and come back to his office tomorrow morning.
Victor did not say goodbye immediately, but asked: "What do you think of what the doctor just said?"
De Gaulle knew that Victor was referring to the invisible art.
His expression was tangled, but there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Watson, do you know? This is why I hate invisibility. That thing... it shouldn't appear in this world at all."
De Gaulle smoked his pipe more and more violently, seeming to recall some unpleasant experiences.
He sighed and shook his head.
"If a ship doesn't know which port to sail to, then the wind blowing from any direction will not be a favorable wind. This is how the invisible art brings confusion to people, it makes you fear and makes all your efforts
All disappeared..."
"Then should we continue to investigate?" Victor stared at the other party curiously.
De Gaulle was silent for a long time, and the smoke from his mouth spread around the two people.
"I don't want to believe that this is the influence of invisible magic, but I am a private detective, and I cannot choose the nature of the commission...and..." De Gaulle looked at the stars in the sky, as if to see through the thick clouds in the darkness,
"Mortals have no choice to escape, they can only face difficulties."
Victor leaned against the streetlight and shrugged.
From these few days of contact, he had a general understanding of De Gaulle's character and abilities. Although he did not object to following him to investigate the Berkeley family's case, Victor had his own considerations in this matter.
"Sorry, I can't investigate with you tomorrow because of some personal matters."
Unexpectedly, the other party would ask for leave, and de Gaulle frowned.
But he didn't force Victor to come to work. He just replied "It's a pity" and then said goodbye to Victor after a few pleasantries.
……
Victor took his cane, called a carriage, and went to other areas first and then returned to the Incense Mansion.
He observed carefully and did not find de Gaulle following him, so he entered the mansion.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Ms. Permis and Will sitting in the living room looking at each other with serious expressions.
Will didn't know when he came back. After seeing Victor, he asked Permis to rest first while he wanted to have a good chat with the deacon.
"What happened?"
Victor saw Will's serious expression and asked quickly.
"The boarding guest is missing."
Hearing this, Victor frowned.
Although he knew that the other party would leave sooner or later, Victor was still a little uncomfortable with leaving suddenly.
While feeling melancholy, Will handed Victor the note that Mike left in the room.
Victor opened it and read the contents. Mike wrote all his action plans on it, which was regarded as a farewell letter.
He said that the control in the dock area has become much looser now, and he will go there to inquire about the whereabouts of his sister.
He also said that regardless of whether he could live or not, he hoped that Victor would not look for him again, because this would only bring more trouble to Victor.
Looking at this letter, Victor couldn't help but fall into silence.
A thunder suddenly flashed across the sky, and another storm was about to sweep through this stormy city.
……
The place that best matches the stormy night is, of course, the Berkeley family's Stormhill Villa.
Under the lightning and thunder, in the activity area of the Villa, a beautiful maid with long, straight black hair was handing a letter to another older woman in front of her.
"Gina, what are you doing?" The older woman looked at each other in surprise.
The maid named Gina smiled: "I'm here to ask you to leave, Ms. Merrige."
