Chapter 9: News

The breakfast time ended quickly. After the meal, Chu Long came to the bar with several tenants who were about to come to the bar. At this time, there were already several customers in the bar, chatting while drinking. The bar

Another bartender on the morning shift, Morton, has also arrived. He is the bartender on the morning shift at the bar and is equipped with a little assistant, Mu Deli.

There were not many people who came to the bar in the morning, only a few people. As soon as they entered the bar, it was clear at a glance. Chu Long happened to see Brooke sitting alone in a booth not far away from the bar, not knowing what happened today.

Chu Long walked to the bar and said hello to Morton, then shook a cup of 'Dream Heart', poured himself a cup of coffee, and walked towards Brooke.

After Chu Long put down the drinks, he sat across from him and looked at Brooke and asked strangely: "What happened today? I feel like you are listless."

"I don't know, maybe it's the damn weather!"

"Oh, by the way, I brought you brandy when I came just now and gave it to Mu Deli."

"Ah! Look at my memory, I guess I have amnesia and forgot to tell that boy Baker." Chu Long patted his head gently and said.

"Then you really should go and see it. Doctors in small towns can't cure amnesia." Brooke joked after taking a sip of 'Dream Heart'.

Watching Brooke finish the 'Dream Heart' in a few sips, he became dull again and didn't speak, just sitting there. Chu Long looked at Brooke and said, "Looking at you like this, why don't you go play billiards later?"

Just relax."

"Anyway, there aren't many people around this time of the morning. How about I go say hello to Mr. Selter?"

"No, I want to be alone." After saying that, he waved towards the bar.

Morton saw Brooke waving towards the bar, and said to Mudeli, who was practicing making cocktails next to her: "Give this glass to Brooke, and tell him that this is the last glass." After that, he poured a glass of 'Dream Heart'

'Leave it to Mu Deli.

Mudeli brought the wine to Brooke and told him what Morton wanted her to say. By the way, she told him that the Pinot Grigio white wine was running out and needed to be registered in the wine warehouse.

"When the work is not finished, it would be nice to take a break." Brooke said helplessly to Chu Long.

While Chu Long and Brooke were chatting, two middle-aged British men were also chatting in a booth near Brooke and the others. However, the topic of their conversation attracted both Chu Long and Chu Long. Since there were not many people in the bar in the morning

The reason is that the people talking in the bar can be heard clearly by those nearby.

"Have you heard that someone died near the port?" said a slightly fat man with dark circles under his eyes.

"Yes! When I went to buy bread in the morning, I heard what Mr. Bartley said." Another British man wearing glasses replied.

"Mr. Bartley's shop is the one closest to the port. He knows everything that happens in the port. He told me as soon as I went there in the morning."

"I heard that it was a woman who died in the fishing hut on the other side of the port. The innermost one has been abandoned." The man with dark circles in his eyes said after taking a sip of wine.

"I'm sure the person who did this is a demon sent by Satan. Don't you know that Mr. Bartley said that the woman had been dead for a while, her body was rotten, and her whole body was tied to a bed.

On the tattered sofa." The man with glasses said.

"This must be Fitch Barber again. Then he told his brother. How else could Mr. Bartley know so clearly?"

"Fitch is a loudmouth and the 'trumpet' of the town. As long as that guy knows something, everyone in the town will know it within half a day." The man with dark circles said with a smile.

"Hehe! Because of this kind of thing, 'Director' Neil talks to him a lot." The man with glasses mocked.

While listening to the conversation of two British men not far away, Chu Long knew that the dead fish house they were talking about was once a gathering place for drug addicts, but once the roof planks of that house fell off on a rainy day.

It happened to hit a drug addict on the head, killing him. Since then, no one has gone there anymore. There were several broken sofas that drug addicts got there at that time. One of them is probably now there.

There are also blood stains that have dried after being soaked!

As for what they said, Fitch Barber was the brother of Bartley Barber, the largest store owner in the town. That guy could never control his mouth. I remember that the first time Chu Long met him was in the hotel bar.

, he was talking about how a few of them police officers arrested a thief from out of town.

The story about where to live was so vivid! It left a deep impression on Chu Long. In fact, Feiqi was a volunteer policeman, not a regular policeman at all. His main job was to work in his brother's shop, and his deputy position

They are volunteer police, just making some extra money when they have nothing to do.

Fitch Barber's volunteer policeman was found for him by his brother, Mr. Bartley, who made his brother and the town's 'chief' Neil a good friend. Speaking of Neil, Taylor is actually not a chief.

, but the top police leader in the town, an assistant chief of police. Although the town has a relatively large flow of people, there are few vicious cases, and at most they are petty thefts. Therefore, the London County to which Dover Town belongs

An assistant police chief was assigned instead of the chief.

There are only ten police officers in the town, and the rest are volunteer police. This is not surprising to Chu Long, because there are troops stationed in Dover town all year round, and this place rarely happens.

A vicious case like this one.

"Are you talking about the murder case at the port this morning?" At this time, a British man who had just come in, with a big belly and a glass of cocktail, walked to the booth where the two people were sitting. He was very familiar with it.

He sat down and asked.

Chu Long looked at his belly and knew that he must have been drinking a lot. This belly was as big as that of a five-month-old pregnant woman. Looking at a belly like this, Chu Long always felt that there was a baby inside, but he didn't know how long it would last.

It’s just a child.

"Yes! Many people know it now. It's already half past nine in the morning, and the news has spread!" The man with dark circles looked at the pregnant man and said.

"Well, that's right, there are rumors about the murder case in the abandoned port house in town now!" the pregnant man said while taking a sip of wine.

"Look, someone has even taken the name of the case now." The man with dark circles looked at the man with glasses next to him and said.

Chu Long and Brooke were drinking and listening silently. At this time, someone called out, "Chu, have a cup of 'Burning Beach'."

Chu Long turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from. Hey, Chu Longxin, talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here! Isn't this what the two men in the booth not far away were discussing about the 'speaker' fee in the town of Dover?

Chi. Barber?

At this time, a white man with a height of 1.8 meters walked in at the door of the bar. He had a pair of amber-brown eyes and a shallow scratch on his neck. As soon as the man entered the bar, he saw Chu Long and Brooke and immediately

He shouted to Chu Long for a cocktail that he often drinks.
