Tonight's events ended inexplicably. Victor followed de Gaulle pacing in the middle of the night. The other person looked worried and sighed from time to time.
"Hey..."
Victor thought he had lost his mind and encouraged him: "This is just a small mistake, and it is not without gain. Not only did we eliminate a suspect, we also received a subsidy of 100 faraka, which is a lot of money.
."
De Gaulle pinched his nose, shook his head, reached into his pocket and took out a few banknotes and handed them to Victor.
"This is your share, plus what I owed you before, I will give it back to you."
Victor took the money and didn't say much.
De Gaulle counted the banknotes again and muttered: "Although 100 faraka is a lot, part of this money must be paid to Dr. Depp. After all, he and his female assistant have helped us a lot." Before leaving, Dutch had already paid the female assistant a hush money alone, but this had nothing to do with De Gaulle. Since the other party had helped him, he would be happy no matter what.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped and looked at Victor: "Watson, you know? The reason why I'm unhappy is not because I didn't get Dutch's huge reward of one thousand francs, but because I made a mistake in my judgment and failed to get the truth.
!This is a huge blow to me, it is simply unacceptable..."
Victor shrugged, not particularly concerned about this, after all, he always thought that he was just a spectator.
"So what? The investigation is not over yet, we still have a chance."
De Gaulle touched his chin and thought, and murmured in detail: "What went wrong? Well... Dutch's concealment of the child's biological father misled me. This is one of the reasons. But where did we start to pay attention?
Where is the force turned to Xiqin..."
He moved left and right a few times, and suddenly punched his left palm with his right hand: "Oh... yes, from Meredith, if we put aside this clue and return to the original direction of thinking, who and Mrs. Shasa are in daily life?
How many contacts do you have in life? Except for Mr. Parker and the head maid Merritt..."
"Those servants who are responsible for serving Madame Salsa..." Victor reminded De Gaulle again.
Because Siqin's suspicion was too high before, de Gaulle ignored Victor's reminder, but this time, he finally thought about it in that direction.
"We have to visit Ms. Merigi again. This time we don't have to wait for the holiday. We go directly to the villa to find her. I believe Siqin will not stop us from continuing the investigation."
De Gaulle believed that after tonight's showdown, Siqin no longer had any secrets in front of them.
The reason why the other party wanted to drive away the detectives was because he was afraid of exposing his relationship with Shasa.
But it's too late now, so the two of them must go back and rest before taking action.
……
After saying goodbye to de Gaulle, Victor suddenly sensed that someone had lit incense before he returned to the mansion.
He frowned, not knowing who was calling him, so he found a secluded place, sat down temporarily, held the key and fell asleep.
In the Taoist temple, on the desk, the spiritual tablet engraved with Mike Campino shimmered.
Victor was dressed in yellow, tapped the spiritual tablet, and led him into the Taoist temple.
"There are always unexpected surprises hidden late at night, Mr. Mike...are you right?"
Mike walked into the lobby and saw the yellow shadow sitting on the futon in the center, and the long-lost heart palpitations emerged again.
"That night...you really saved me?"
After he asked, the yellow shadow on the futon let out a deep laugh.
"When you come here, you are the person chosen by the assembly. Even if you get rid of my beloved, I can still find you at any time, just like I can kill those people at any time."
These words made Mike shudder, and the palpitations in his heart became more intense.
When he first entered the Taoist temple, he had no idea what kind of existence Mr. Yi was. It wasn't until he saw the betrayers being burned to death by the flames of hell that he gradually realized the horror of the Knower.
Mr. Yi can find me at any time, can we also say that he can kill me at any time?
Just like killing those people?
Mike didn't know the Talisman's abilities. He had only seen Victor cast a water spell to become invisible, but had not seen other spell abilities, so he did not connect the two people's identities.
He believes that Victor, who can only rely on stealth and retreat in the face of the police, is definitely not as cunning and unpredictable as Mr. Yi, who can kill people out of thin air.
He suppressed his anxiety, took a deep breath, and replied: "I owe you another debt, but now I have lost everything and have nothing to repay... Never have
I have understood this principle of unprovoked gifts since I was very young. So Mr. Yi, what do you want from me?"
What do you get?
Victor himself didn't even think about this problem.
However, the other party's family is still relatively powerful in Renekton's underground society. If he can regain his strength, he may be able to help him in the future.
This can be considered an investment!
Victor was planning secretly, and he said: "Since I know everything, I know everything. The Cambino family will not remain silent like this, and you will know the reward you have to pay in the future..."
Mike was immediately stunned. He understood what Mr. Yi meant. The other party seemed to be reminding him, can the Cambino family make a comeback?
It turns out that there is no such thing as a free gift. Mike couldn't help but guess that if he could really restore the glory of his family in the future, then repaying the debt to Mr. Yi would probably cost more than his life!
But thinking about this, he couldn't help but have self-doubt.
He has no involvement in the family's "business" at all, and he is not good at using hand-to-hand methods to deal with things. How can he revive the family?
"So what are your plans next? Mr. Mike..."
Mr. Yi spoke calmly, and his casual tone seemed to indicate that he didn't care whether the other party was willing to answer or not.
Mike swallowed and shook his head.
"I don't know...although I do want to avenge my family, but..."
"Isn't it possible that the person you went to kill that night was avenging them?" Mr. Yi continued to say casually.
Mike smiled bitterly, the other party knew that he went to kill someone that night.
"He is my father's friend and the little boss of the family. The Prostitute Street is his territory. In the past, he followed my father to fight off the White Hand gang in the dock area and established the Cambino family... Of course, he is also a very different person.
An out-and-out traitor."
Thinking back on this, Mike's resentment became even more intense.
Victor was silent and thought about it. The business on the Prostitute Street was quite good. In addition to the prostitutes, there were also some casinos hidden in the basements of the brothels. Prostitutes and gamblers from the entire dock area liked to go there.
It stands to reason that this little boss should have made a lot of money.
Malone was so generous and gave that guy such a fertile street, why would he betray the Cambino family?
"Betrayal... there are always various reasons. I guess your anger makes you unwilling to listen to his explanation..." Victor said tentatively.
Mike gritted his teeth and replied with hatred in his eyes: "That bastard didn't admit his betrayal until he died, but the fact that the Cigar Club allows him to continue to occupy the Prostitute Street speaks volumes!"
Oh?
Victor was a little curious.
And then, Mike told Victor all the quibbles that Sai had made before his death.
When Victor heard someone pretending to be Sai and giving orders to his men, and that person's figure and appearance were completely different from Sai's, some kind of memory that had been erased by time suddenly came back.
He couldn't remember... he was influenced by some kind of power and began to gradually forget it.
But he was very eager at this time, eager to go back and read the description of Downey's appearance that he had recorded on the paper!
