He is calm, arrogant, and a bit pretentious. If he has no mental problems, it means he has real cards in his hand.
Ellie gestured towards Ruiben, and then asked: "You can talk to me directly. If you can give us good clues, we will consider making a deal with you."
Worm grinned, stretched out his hand and said: "Then let's verify it, I want a cigarette."
Ribbon took out the cigarette case from his pocket, slowly took one out and put it into Worm's mouth. When he took out the lighter, Ellie shouted: "Wait a minute, your wish has come true. Now.
, give us what we want.”
Upon hearing this, Ruiben immediately retracted his hand, with a smirk on his face and looked at the suspect in a playful manner.
"For God's sake." Worm held the cigarette as hard as he could and yelled vaguely, "Do you have to use so many words?"
Looking at the two people who were silent, Worm rolled his eyes helplessly, "Okay, are you investigating the Old Record Gang? I have information about them."
"Tell me and listen." Ruiben motioned for the other party to continue.
But Worm stretched out his index finger and tapped the cigarette on his lips. Ribbon ignored him and looked at Ellie. It wasn't until Ellie agreed that the superintendent lit the cigarette with a lighter.
"It seems you can really speak here." Worm lowered his head and took the cigarette with his cuffed hands.
After puffing out the cigarette in his mouth with satisfaction, Worm said: "You are investigating that detective, right? Frank, I remember calling this person here?
"You want to know why Big Shoe and Hammer went to burn down that detective's office, right? I bet the answer those two idiots gave you must be that they were acting under orders and didn't know anything. But now it's okay, I can give you
A satisfactory explanation from you. But I need a guarantee."
"Are you negotiating terms with us?" Ruiben narrowed his eyes and asked, "I think you didn't understand one thing. Only we have the capital to negotiate terms. And you, you don't."
Worm laughed, "I ran away from home when I was ten and joined a gang in York..."
"Revolver Gang. I'm not interested in your life." Ribbon interrupted.
But Ellie spoke up: "Let him go on, Superintendent."
Ruiben coughed slightly, expressing some dissatisfaction, but he had no intention of continuing to stop it.
"After working there for a while, I came to Liverpool at 15, wanting to see the underground world here. At that time, the leader of the old record gang was still a man, and the girl named Lucy was just a bartender.
.
"I have worked in the East End for eight years, and I think you have already uncovered all my bad records. I have come into contact with many people, and I have witnessed with my own eyes Lucy's cruel methods and snake-like tricks.
The location of the Old Record Gang.
"After that, I quit. I was tired of this kind of life, but besides doing this business, I didn't have any other skills. So after spending the money, I went back to my old job, but this time it was
Behind the scenes.”
Having said this, Worm lowered his head, took a cigarette from his hand with some difficulty and took a puff.
"Okay, Mr. Worm. I've heard enough of your stories, let's get to the point. What do you know about the Old Record Gang and Frank?" Ellie said.
"I know Frank is looking for another thing, but the Old Record Gang is also looking for something like this. As far as I know, when two beasts take a liking to the same prey at the same time, the ending is often not so happy."
"Then do you know where Frank is?"
"Hmm, I asked the owner of the grocery store to keep an eye on Frank's movements. You should have interrogated him, but they should all be about smuggling. Of course, you can also ask him again, but I promise,
His memory is no match for my notes."
Ellie glanced at Ruiben, and the superintendent understood. He left the table and walked out of the door quickly.
"Well done, sir. You have left yourself a way out." Ellie praised.
"After working in this industry for so many years, I would have gone to see God long ago if I didn't have any foresight. So, should we discuss the terms directly, or should we wait for the superintendent to confirm?"
The eldest lady took a long breath, crossed her arms and said casually: "You are not as important as you think, sir. I can indeed let you walk out of the police station unscathed, but you have to give me enough clues.
"But after listening to what you said, I feel that you don't have much to offer. You asked the grocery store owner to record the movements of Frank's group, but what I need is not their movements. But that they have been there
I saw someone there."
"Ma'am, that's not all I can give you. I can also give you old records and various information. I know them and their recent smuggling time."
"You don't need to worry about that. A few days ago, we found an acquaintance of their gang. He must know the ways of the Old Record Gang better than you."
"Wha...what?" Worm's face showed a hint of surprise, "Are you deceiving me?"
"Unfortunately, sir. It's not the case. Maybe you should recognize that old acquaintance. His name is Taylor, and he is Mr. Toy's subordinate from the Old Record Gang."
The look of surprise on Worm's face gradually amplified, and he finally couldn't help shouting: "Wha...what? Damn it, is it true? You caught Taylor? That damn pervert?"
"You look, you look happy."
"Of course I'm happy, Taylor is a complete idiot. Sometimes I can't help but shoot him in the face."
"It's interesting, but I don't care. Okay, give us the notes. I can properly petition the judge to reduce your sentence by a few years."
Worm waved his hands hurriedly, not even paying attention to the cigarette, "Wait a minute, ma'am. I still have something to give you. The outside world has always thought that the old record gang is only engaged in smuggling business, but I know their
secret.
"Lucy, that woman climbed from being a cupbearer to that bloody throne. She couldn't do it just by means and tricks."
"Go on, sir. I'm interested."
"There are some people behind her. There are rumors in the industry that since Lucy came to power, the Old Record Gang has been secretly practicing religious worship, of course, those blasphemous and terrible religions.
"I would never believe such nonsense before. But once, I happened to stumble upon their cargo at the dock. You will definitely be interested in what they are transporting."
"I guess you won't tell me what they're transporting until we reach an agreement. But I'd also like to take a wild guess that they're smuggling people, right?"
Worm began to hate the woman in front of him. Although she looked as hot and moving as the Rose of Versailles, her cold and indifferent attitude made Worm feel like a corpse, a corpse frozen in ice.
What's even more disturbing is that this woman can always say something that should make people gasp in a calm tone.
