Author: Half-wounded but not broken

The current intelligence agency of Muxing City, Hidden Star, was held accountable for the death of the previous city lord. In fact, it has been discontinued by now, and its professional level is quite low.

In addition, since the appearance of the violent demon king, espionage activities against the enemy have been completely stopped. Hidden Star has not conducted counter-espionage activities for many years, let alone sending out spies.

But not all countries are so relaxed. The tyrannical devil has disappeared for twenty years, and the peaceful situation that existed when he was there has now gradually collapsed, as evidenced by the Tula Republic, which keeps making small moves.

This is like a novice player who just entered the game and didn't even understand the operation. He directly clicked on the matching battle and was beaten by the player who came in first.

Perrenli even suspected that if he compiled the unreliable spy movie plots in his memory into a book and sold them to them, he might be able to become a spy instructor...

Kurt didn't know that the owner of the Goldfish Casino in Deshui was related to Larry. At that time, he thought that Perrenli and the others were with Larry, and they found the casino because they followed them, so he never thought that there was a problem with the casino.

things.

Of course, they are really not very good at it.

After listening to Pei Renli's explanation, Kurt suddenly understood and quickly ordered to call in manpower.

Investigating Nethar's arrest was Kurt's arbitrary decision. Although Hidden Star did have the right to investigate anyone it suspected, the arrest warrant was issued in the name of the city lord after all, so it was impossible to mobilize manpower on a large scale.

It's like a slap in the face to the city lord.

But Larry's situation is different. He is a confirmed spy. Arresting people related to spies is a legitimate act within his duties, which of course can mobilize manpower.

Not only could he mobilize more resources, but he also brought in the security team to ask for assistance.

To be honest, Perrenli didn't think the boss of Goldfish was still in the city. Larry had been dead for so many days. Anyone with a sense of smell should know to run away quickly.

But when Pei Renli arrived in the carriage with the people from Hidden Star to get out of the water, he saw that the casino was still bustling with people, and he suddenly realized that he had misunderstood. The pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes could not use common sense to infer.

"You can follow me in later and don't make a sound unless necessary. I will be responsible for communicating with the casino owner."

Kurt nodded seriously, indicating that everything was subject to Mr. Perrenli's instructions.

He felt that the most correct thing he did in his career was to ask Pei Renli to be a consultant. The messy situation with no solution finally allowed him to find an entry point.

So Perrenli was obviously just a consultant, but he was more like a leader than Kurt. He quickly arranged everyone's positions in an orderly manner, and then took Kurt into the casino first.

It has to be said that Pei Renli will never like this place. He understands that people can be addicted to the excitement of spending huge sums of money and the expectation of getting something for nothing, but he also knows that gambling is the most unwise thing.

But since the fool is willing to spend money, he is too lazy to talk.

Compared to the first time, he seemed to be more familiar with the traffic. He also deliberately blocked the name on the membership card with his fingers. The security guard guarding the door let him enter the members area without even looking twice.

——I always feel that this style is similar to Hidden Star.

As mentioned just now, Pei Renli felt that the casino owner had probably run away, and coming here was equivalent to waiting for the results of the investigation from Hidden Star to come out and fill in the gaps.

But not long after entering the members area, he found Hector, the casino owner he had met last time. He was happily sitting in the bank betting against a few fat sheep, but when he saw Pei Renli appear, his expression suddenly changed.

"It's you again! Security guard! Security guard!"

Look, this is the memory of a normal person. It hasn’t been long since the last time he came to the casino to cause trouble. Of course Hector still remembers Perrenli.

A large group of security guards rushed over immediately after hearing the sound, drawing out short sticks and surrounding him from all sides.

Kurt didn't seem to be calm anymore. This time he didn't swing a hammer, but brought a long sword. When the security guard came over, he couldn't help but touch the hilt of the sword, but he remembered that Perrenli had just told him not to open his mouth unless necessary, so he insisted

He held back his words and looked around cautiously.

Pei Renli, on the other hand, seemed very calm and did not care at all about the opponent's numerical advantage.

He casually threw the walking stick out of his backpack, and as soon as it landed on the ground, it immediately turned into a three-meter-high maple tree. The top of the tree almost touched the ceiling, and the tree roots squirmed weirdly like a python.

The staff-turned-guards successfully made the surrounding security guards brake suddenly. From this glance, it was clear that they were hard-hitting and ruthless characters. They could deal with ordinary people just fine, but now they rushed up to beat the dogs.

After all, how many gold coins can you earn in a month? Why work so hard?

"Mr. Hector, I have something to do with you today, and it's still Larry's business."

"I don't know about him, I told you last time!"

"Okay, don't look for opportunities to run away. All exits of this casino are being watched, and the security team... look, they are coming."

The security team who came to cooperate at Yinxing's request came in from the casino gate at this time, and made everyone squat against the wall with an attitude of sweeping away pornography, gambling and drugs.

Although all the entrances and exits were blocked, there was no guarantee that Hector had any secret way to escape, so Perrenli came in first. If Hector wanted to escape, it would be an unforgettable experience.

Several tentacle-like tree roots surrounded Hector from the left and right, and it felt like they might tear him into pieces at any time.

"Be happy. I just want to ask some questions and answer them honestly. But I need to borrow a quieter room."

Although Perrenli's tone was very kind, Hector's expression was not kind at all. It felt as if he suddenly learned that he was going to the execution ground...

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

After finding a private room in the casino, Pei Renli sat on one side of the gaming table, and on the other side was Hector, who was tied up in a chair.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the topic:

"Mr. Hector, you were not very cooperative when I came last time. But this time, I hope you can be more frank and tell me honestly what I want to know."

Hector looked at the group of burly men belonging to the Hidden Star standing on the left and right sides of the gambling table, and felt that it might not be feasible to say that he did not want to cooperate.

"First of all, I know that Larry once lived with you for a period of time. Did he go out during this period? Did he meet with anyone?"

"I don't know, I really don't know anything!"

Hector said hurriedly:

"Larry is just a friend of mine. He said he wanted to hide here for a few days... Uh-huh!"

Kurt went up and broke Hector's fingers off because what he said was not satisfactory.

At least when it comes to torture, Hidden Star has some professional standards and is not too bad.

Pei Renli waited for Hector to breathe heavily, and then said:

"Please think carefully before speaking. These friends of mine are not as easy to talk to as I am."

"I really... don't know, Larry only told me that I needed to hide from someone, so... don't! Ah!"

The second finger was scrapped, and Pei Renli showed a disgusted expression:

"I can't stand this. It's too cruel. I'd better use my method."

He took out a bottle of translucent mucus from his backpack, handed it to the person next to him, and motioned to pour it on Hector.

The latter was also very sincere. Without saying a word, he uncorked the bottle and poured the mucus in from Hector's collar.

"What! What did you do to me!"

Hector ignored the pain and twisted around on the chair like an earthworm. An indescribable itching spread along his skin, but since his hands and feet were tied, he could only twist.

"It's just an intermediate product of alchemy. It's just a dangerous drug. If it accidentally touches the skin, it will feel very itchy."

Hector twisted more and more fiercely, almost shaking the chair, and his face turned red from suppressing it.

"Don't worry, it's not toxic. It can be washed away with water, but only if you let me know what I want to know."

"I told you, I really don't know anything!"

"Keep talking, that kind of mucus will become more and more itchy if you don't wash it off."

Pei Renli seemed to be very patient. Since the results of the investigation were not yet available, he was just passing the time.

At this time, the box door opened, and a man from Hidden Star walked in quickly and handed a piece of paper to Kurt, who then handed it to Perrenli.

He looked at the contents on the paper and continued to ask:

"You said Larry is your friend, how long have you known each other?"

"Almost twenty years."

"You are a native of Muxing City, but Larry only came to Muxing City five years ago. How can you possibly have known each other for twenty years? Please be logical about this nonsense."

"It's on the boat!"

Enduring the itching, Hector saw Kurt approaching and said quickly:

"I used to be a boatman when I was a teenager and had work experience on several boats. That's when I met Larry!"

What he said was similar to the resume found by Yinxing. Pei Renli asked this deliberately to confirm whether he was telling the truth.

"So what do you know about Larry's work?"

"Isn't he working as a warehouse manager in a warehouse?"

"More details, I'd like to know more information."

He winked at the person on the side, who immediately picked up a bucket of water and poured it on Hector, and the strange itch suddenly weakened a lot.

This is a very royal method of hitting a stick and giving a sweet date. Blindly tyrannical approach is actually not very efficient.

Hector, who was covered in water and embarrassed, said quickly:

"Larry and I are really just friends. We had a good relationship when we worked on ships. Later, I got tired of wandering and used my savings to start a business. It was only after I became rich that I bought this casino."

"I want to hear about Larry."

"Larry came to Muxing City about five years ago. I met him when I went to the dock to visit my friends. As you know, the Republic of Tula is not good for races other than humans, so Larry said he wanted to develop in Muxing City.
