In a shabby tavern located in a slum area, only the bottom people will come here to consume.But because of this, if Carly Strassman, a rich girl, has been here, she must be the most eye-catching one, and everyone else will remember her.
The two pushed in the door, and the depression inside was terrifying.Seven or eight round tables were arranged in a disorderly manner, only one or two shabby ones were placed with two wine bottles, and a few people were talking around.
Seeing the two at this moment, a total of five or six people in the house, including the bartender, looked over with different eyes.
"We belong to the Military Police and are investigating a case of disappearance." Li Lin walked to the bar and said to the young bartender, "Have you seen this girl?"
After he finished, Ani also took out Carly's portrait and put it on the bar, but the bartender didn't even look at it, he just looked at the book in his hand, "I don't know."
"..."
Ani took out the coin and put it on the table, and the young bartender glanced at it, "Even if you take out this, you don't know what you don't know."
"Really." Li Lin looked at the book in his hand with a smile, "Do you like reading books?"
"So what?"
"Then I don't know what it's like to read in the dungeon of the military police regiment." Li Lin said, "Want to try it?"
"...Are you threatening me?"
"How could it be a threat?" Li Lin spread his hands, "Maintaining law and order is the duty of our military police. As a good citizen, should we actively cooperate and give useful information? You must know that this girl named Carrie has disappeared. Ah... Or, are you covering up someone, or is her disappearance related to you in the first place?"
The young man frowned and put down the book in his hand after a while: "Carly hasn't been here for a few days, and I don't know where she went. However, maybe her boyfriend will know."
"Name and address?"
"Kampa Boltz." The young man said, "I live in the Nan'ercheng neighborhood, so I don't know the exact address."
Ani took a pen and paper to record it, while Li Lin walked to the wine table next to him, where the three customers were sitting and looking at him shiveringly.
"How are you...you seem to know me?"
The three looked at each other, and without a word, they stood up and ran out!
"Doom!"
Li Lin put down one with one foot, and grabbed one's arm with the other two hands, and the two who were in pain suddenly screamed for mercy.
"Don't! Don't!"
When Li Lin pulled and pushed, the two of them lost their balance and fell to the ground, only to hear a "crash", a small cloth bag in one of their pockets fell out, and a few blue pills were spilled from it.
"Codeine?"
Li Lin bent down and picked up one. He knew that this thing was a new type of drug that had emerged from the wall in the past two years - but this thing was very popular in the underground streets of the capital, and I didn't expect it to spread to this place now. Bass area.
"Li, Lord Li Lin! Let us go!"
The three hurriedly begged for mercy, apparently recognizing Li Lin.This is also normal, even if he is not wearing a military police uniform, but he has been running to the slums for a month since he took office.And every time he came and went, he would take away a few prisoners, and the people who came and went here naturally knew him.
At this time, Ani came over and asked the three of them, "Are you regulars here? You should know Carly too."
"Yes! Know! We all say, we all say..."
Chapter 062: The Truth Comes Out
"Generally speaking, it was this eldest lady who often came here to pay others to drink. Then suddenly one day I saw them taking codeine, so I couldn't get angry. At the same time, after the Wall of Maria fell, The Strassman family's main business of buying and selling was difficult, but she was still full of pockets; and she was also being sought by others."
Li Lin said while biting the bread in his hand, while Ani was eating a simple sandwich next to him.
It was almost noon when they came out of the tavern. The two of them bought some food from the food store on the roadside and sat on the public benches on the street to eat.
"What did you think of?" Li Lin asked.
"The reason for her disappearance should have something to do with the money she couldn't spend."
"Well, yes, I'll go to Campa's residence to look for it later. If I'm lucky, maybe I can complete the task before dark."
The two stopped talking and ate the food in their hands in silence.Passers-by passed by bustlingly, it was early summer, the dazzling sunshine poured on the earth, and everything was yellow.
Both felt very peaceful.
"Meow."
A cat ran up to the two of them, and Ani looked at it, tore off a corner of the sandwich and handed it over.
"Meow!"
Instead of eating, the cat made an aggressive meow and ran away.
"..."
Ani was slightly startled, then stretched out his hand, his eyes were a little complicated, and Li Lin, who was beside him, didn't say anything.The two finished their simple lunch in silence, and then went to the address given by the bartender.
Similarly, it is also a slum. When Li Lin passed by, many people would run away subconsciously when they saw him, but Ani caught two of them.I easily asked for the detailed address of Campa, and then went to the door.
The door was ajar, and the two pushed it open, only to find that there was no one there, only a mess everywhere.The rubbish on the floor and the wine bottles on the table represent the poor living conditions in this Campa.
Li Lin picked up the half-liquid bottle and shook it: "Is this the kind of life the rich girl's boyfriend lives?"
Ani searched for clues in the house in silence, and soon found several boxes hidden in the closet.
When I opened it, the boxes were full of codeine.
"So much, it's enough to change to a house in the city center." Li Lin said, frowning suddenly: "The money can't be spent... Ani, do you remember Elliott said her daughter's college major? "
"Chemistry." Ani also reacted after saying, "Is this drug made by Carly?"
