"Was it here?" asked Sheyan as he walked out from the back seat of the car .
It was a place with complex terrain where multiple streets and alleys intersected with each other . The shops on both sides were mostly deserted . The pedestrians were hurrying around in their large coats, and drug addicts with pale, thin faces were everywhere . One could imagine the desolate, mysterious and gloomy atmosphere when it was nighttime . It was no wonder that Josina could hide behind an electric pole when she saw the killing and not get discovered .
Sheyan came here for the hook-nosed man, Dolittle, of course .
When Josina was following Dolittle, the latter should have been unaware of her . At that time, it was raining, so the surroundings were cold and wet, and Dolittle had just obtained some very important research material . For both work and personal reasons, Dolittle should be heading home .
This place was full of small streets and alleys, and the police coverage in this run-down area was relatively sparse . It was a good place to hide .
The FBI had probably grasped Dolittle's whereabouts at that time, so they lay here in ambush, but the power supporting Dolittle was out of the FBI's expectation . They were completely wiped out as a result .
A key point identified by Sheyan was the place where Dolittle was ambushed .
On a street .
For the police, if they had a choice, this was definitely not a good location for an ambush . Whether it be the social impact, the escape routes for the criminal, or other factors like finding evidence .
If the police had found Dolittle's lair, the location of the ambush would have been in his hiding place, beyond a doubt .
That could only mean one thing .
The FBI agents that ambushed Dolittle back then probably didn't find the man's lair . He was probably detected by surveillance, or they had received report from informants that Dolittle had appeared around here, after which the FBI hurried over to lie in ambush .
According to Sheyan's guess, the FBI must have carried out a furious cleaning-up operation in this area after the bizarre death of their men . If Dolittle's lair was still not found during the cleanup, there was no doubt that Dolittle will continue to use the place even after the contestant backing him had left the world . This was obvious .
Therefore, Sheyan thought that if he was somewhat lucky, he could find the lair that Dolittle had used and various many clues from there . If he was really lucky, he might be able to find the man himself in the lair .
Mogensha looked around while puffing on his cigar and asked, "There's a bar over there . Maybe we should go for a drink?"
Sheyan shifted his attention to the bar with a signboard that showed the outline of a naked woman, sketched with neon lights . The place was probably filled with the dregs of society, but they could probably get some good information there . He nodded and walked in with Mogensha .
There was a musty smell in the bar . It was, of course, masked by the strong smell of liquor, but the musty smell was still uncomfortable . There was still quite some time before peak hours, so the inside of the bar was brightly lit, to better help the waitresses clean the place .
Like most bars in this era, there were two billiard tables . The colour of the flannel on them had faded, and the surface was covered with scratches . The cue sticks had cracks on them and were covered with black dust .
Around the billiard tables were several men with tattoos and unkempt hair . Their biceps and chest were bare, as if they were showing off, and looked over with provoking and vigilant eyes . A queer looking fellow even showed them a lewd look . He blew a smoke ring in Sheyan's direction before finishing his drink in one gulp and placing the glass upside down on the table .
When Mogensha was called a "black lass" previously, he had really taken it to heart . Now that he saw this situation, he immediately turned to Sheyan and exclaimed in glee, "Boss, looks like someone has fallen for your beauty . "
Sheyan glared at Mogensha . Just as he was about to retort, a prostitute who imitated Britney Spears' silver hairstyle came up to them with a cigarette in her mouth and asked, "Hello, gentlemen, are you here to drink or to have some fun?"
Sheyan smiled and sat down on the nearest table . He noticed that the table was a clean, round wooden table . A jack-o-lantern hung beside it .
"I'm here to give out money . "
Sheyan once again launched a financial attack, which was undoubtedly a very simple but effective method . Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that some would weave out lies for the sake of profit, but Sheyan believed that it would not be difficult for his sharp eyes to identify these lies .
And so, when two men who had lied for the sake of money held their broken hands and screamed beside the table, no one else dared to risk it .
After gaining nothing, Sheyan and Mogensha left the bar and went to another bar . They were like hardworking bees rushing in between flowers . Several bars later, finally, the owner of the bar called out to Sheyan .
"Hey, you, stranger . Come here . "
