The boy stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden door. The sign hanging in front of the door said "Chahi Chahi" in Tucker language.
Fortina's words are indeed true. After he was caught committing the crime, the "ghosts" in the helm basically remembered his face. As expected, no one came to expel or stop him on the third floor. In the original impression, he was the only one in the world.
The rumored location was unexpectedly simple.
"Well, it shouldn't be a problem if you go in."
After all, it was a mysterious place. The young man was a little uneasy, but he had already arrived at the door, so there was no reason to back down.
Jingle bell!
At the same time as the boy opened the wooden door, the bell at the door also made a clear sound. This scared the boy into a cold sweat. He subconsciously jumped out of the door, but nothing happened inside the door, only the bell jingled.
ring.
I thought I had triggered some dangerous mechanism just now, but it turned out to be just a "doorbell".
This is a small device often installed at the door of businesses. It is called a "customer bell" or "door bell." When someone comes in, it will pull the thin wire connected to the bell on the door to alert the store that someone has entered the store.
For merchants, this small device is very convenient to prevent thieves and entertain customers. In addition, it is simple and low-cost to make. It is very common for ordinary shops to hang a "doorbell" at the door.
but……
@#&%, how can this place be considered “ordinary”?
This is "Chaxi Chaxi", a pub opened in a killer organization, how can it be ordinary?
Will there be some muscular man with a sinister face in it, or a killer who cannot be provoked, or a harmonious red zone?
"Huh? Who is this child?"
The ringing of the bell in the store could not fail to attract attention. Since the boy hesitated outside for a while and did not come in, a woman who was standing at the round table doing cleaning work put down the rag in her hand, turned around and walked towards the boy standing at the door.
.
"Excuse me, do you need any services?"
"ha?"
Did you hear it wrong? Someone actually used honorifics towards him.
"Excuse me, what services do you need?"
When the woman saw that the boy in front of her didn't respond, she took the trouble to ask again.
"Well……"
Gu~
When the boy was thinking of the right words, his belly expressed his request sincerely.
After hearing the sound, the woman stroked her lips and smiled softly: "You are hungry, right?"
"Uh...well, I want to eat something."
Perhaps because the situation in front of him was quite different from his imagination, the young man acted very shy.
The young woman who came to greet me should be around twenty years old, with a good face. She was wearing a low-cut plaid shirt and dark narrow-leg trousers (due to the popularity of equestrianism, narrow-leg trousers are lightweight.
Close-fitting clothing has gradually flowed into human daily life and is loved by young men and women), wearing a white apron and looking like an ordinary tavern waiter.
"Okay, please come inside."
The waitress led the boy into "Chaxi Chaxi". Eight or nine oil lamps were lit in the store, and the situation inside could be clearly seen. After entering the store, the boy couldn't help but start looking around.
The space in the store is much wider than expected. There are about thirty tables in various shapes of square and round, as well as a number of small wooden chairs and benches, and they are all arranged quite neatly. The wooden floor under your feet is smooth and bright.
At first glance, you can tell that it has been well maintained and waxed. The clean and tidy pub Chahi Chahi can be said to be incompatible with the "dirty and messy" tone of Findara Branch.
What slightly surprised the young man was that there were no customers in the store, and most of the seats were empty. The bartender sitting at the classic bar was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was not doing his job, but
He was reading with a book in his hand with an engrossed look on his face.
Since the store was so deserted, the performances of the rumored enchanting dancers were naturally not visible at all.
All in all, this place looks like an ordinary tavern, at least I haven't found anything special right now.
"Uh, that..."
The young man wanted to call the young maid, but found that he didn't know what to call her, so he had to hesitate and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
But this considerate young waitress only took a moment to understand what the young man meant. She kept a smile on her face and said gently: "Mirela, my name is."
"Um, sister Mirella, do you know the person 'Defoe Rossby'?"
Now that I'm in the tavern, besides eating, it's time to get some information.
Taverns have always been a gathering place for information. The diners gathered together usually talk to each other about their recent experiences while tasting delicious food and drinking wine, and the tavern staff will also remember the remarks of the diners intentionally or unintentionally.
Therefore, as long as it is not a particularly secret information about major and minor events in a region, gossips and rumors, a traveler who is not familiar with the place can just order a glass of fifteen-ounce ale in a local old-fashioned tavern, and he can know almost everything from the boss.
Everything he wanted to know.
Don't ask the young man how he knows this, because it is common sense.
Since Chaxi Chaxi is a tavern opened in Findala Branch, it stands to reason that the staff inside will know a lot of information about Findala Branch, as well as private information about the killers affiliated with the Laughing Puppet.
It should be among them.
After all, those killers are usually regular diners here, and they should all know each other.
"Oh! If you look for Mr. Rodsby, there he is."
Sure enough, after hearing the name from the boy's mouth, Mirela immediately pointed in a direction. The boy looked along and found the only guest in the tavern.
This man wearing the same black robe as Mingdie suddenly raised the empty wine glass in his hand and shouted to the waitress who was serving the boy: "Mirela, serve the wine."
"Okay, here we go."
After saying that, Mirela turned to the boy with an apologetic smile, and the boy nodded in response. Mirela walked directly to the bar, grabbed the bottle on the bar, and knocked it hard in front of the middle-aged man who was trapped in the world of the book.
Knocking, the man raised his head and glanced at her.
At this time, the young man did not intend to spend time observing the work of the clerks. He turned his attention to the man in black robe sitting in the corner with his head down eating a plate of food.
Suddenly the man raised his head and glanced at the young man. His cold gaze made the young man's heart tremble.
The young man's eyes suddenly changed from curious to solemn when he looked at this man.
Through an exchange of eyes, the boy's intuition told him that this man named "Deford Rossby" was definitely... a genuine senior killer.
The man spoke, his voice without any emotion, but with a kind of courage that could not be refused.
