Bai Ke didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Upon hearing this question, the bartender's face changed immediately. He thought of a possibility and his heart sank to the bottom.
As an intelligence dealer, his sources of intelligence are naturally very wide. He knows many things at the first time and knows their impact and details.
Because last night's incident caused such a big commotion, he naturally learned about it early on and understood how big the impact of this incident was.
In other words, he had no black spots and had been obtaining intelligence through personal connections. He had not done anything illegal or violated the law or bribed others, so he did not close down the business and run away.
But he was also a little worried, afraid that he would be implicated. After all, in such a big event, no one would care if there were a few more innocent people.
The person who arrived now came straight to the point and asked about a person's identity. His goal was very clear.
This made him wonder whether the two people were people sent by the Clan Alliance, who were investigating or looking for some people and wanted to arrest them.
The bartender did not recognize Bai Ke. After all, they only met once yesterday. Although they were both dressed in black robes, everyone who came here was dressed in black robes. And now the eye-catching presence of Lilyluka was gone.
In addition, this bartender is not an orc and can identify people by smell.
Therefore, it is normal that the bartender did not recognize Bai Ke. If he really recognized him, then something would be really wrong.
Seeing the change in the bartender's expression, Bai Ke frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No...no."
The bartender smiled and shook his head. Then he said with the most sincere words he had ever said in his life:
"Guest, I know the person you are talking about. A few days ago, I noticed that his behavior was a little suspicious, so I investigated him and found out some information about his identity."
Although it is still not completely certain that the two people are members of the Clan Alliance, he plans to reveal all the information he knows to avoid any involvement, thinking that it is better to have less trouble than more.
After all, as mentioned before, in such a major event, there is a possibility that you will be affected, so when encountering such a thing, it is better to cooperate.
"how much is it?"
Bai Ke knew the rules of the transaction here, so he directly asked about the price of the information.
"No... I don't charge any money!"
Hearing this, the bartender quickly waved his hand to refuse. However, as soon as he said this, he knew it was a bit abrupt, so he quickly changed his words and said:
"Customer, there aren't many customers today. You are the first person to buy information from me, so I might as well give it to you for free. After all, information is not worth much."
Bai Ke looked at the bartender suspiciously. He felt that there was something very wrong with him and didn't understand why he suddenly became afraid of him.
"you sure?"
Confused, Bai Ke confirmed.
"I am sure."
The bartender nodded firmly.
"I hope what you said is true. If we find anything wrong when we go to check it out later, we will not let you go."
Bai Ke looked at the bartender and said that although he was a little confused about the other party's thoughts, it was good not to spend money.
"Please rest assured, my two customers, I will not and cannot cheat on such matters. I will not take the risk of violating this unspoken rule that affects the reputation of our store."
The bartender immediately gave a guarantee, and then he spoke without any hesitation:
"That guy's name is Sk. I investigated him because his behavior was suspicious before. He lives at *** on East Street. He is an idle person with nothing to do. He has no job, likes gambling, and often hangs out in casinos. The casinos he often goes to are..."
The bartender briefly told all the information he knew, without any intention of hiding anything.
"From the literal meaning, this person seems to be a scumbag."
After listening to the bartender's introduction, Bai Ke whispered.
"That's right,"
Upon hearing this, the bartender immediately agreed, his attitude was extremely humble and full of flattery.
"let's go."
Bai Ke felt uncomfortable all over after hearing this, and he suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore. Now that he had known the information he should know, he said hello, then turned around and walked outside.
"Phew~ Fortunately nothing happened."
The bartender watched the two people leave one after another, and after their figures completely disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The people from the clan alliance finally left. Should I close the shop now? I'm so unlucky."
The bartender whispered, but then he shook his head to deny the idea and whispered:
"No... No, this matter is definitely not over yet. If something unexpected happens, the two people from the clan alliance will definitely come back here to find me to confirm the situation."
"If I close the door and leave now, the mud will fall on my crotch, and it will be shit. I won't be able to explain it then, and I will definitely be listed as a suspicious person and investigated by others, which will cause a lot of trouble. So I absolutely can't leave like this."
So, I was misunderstood.
At this moment, outside the tavern, the two had already walked up the wooden stairs. Bai Ke's eyes flashed with realization, and his inhuman perception allowed him to listen to the bartender's mumbling.
He finally understood why the other party's reaction was so strange, and why he wanted to please him and provide him with information without asking for money.
It turned out that he had recognized the wrong people, and mistook himself and Liu Liang for the members of the currently powerful clan alliance army, so the slightly dark opponent would do these things to him.
Originally, Bai Ke wanted to be on guard against the other party because of his strange attitude, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
ps: There has been a lot of noise recently because of the renovation work going on here in the community, and the idle house next door has been bought by someone and is being renovated, which is also very noisy.
Difficulty concentrating and distraction.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some things that I didn’t notice when making the revisions. You can mark them out and I will make the revisions after I see them.
Chapter 155: The truth is approaching
"Bai Ke, what's wrong?"
Seeing Bai Ke, who was walking in front, suddenly paused and seemed to be thinking about something, Liu Liang asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just thought of something."
Bai Ke shook his head, and then he didn't intend to say anything else, and walked forward.
Seeing that Bai Ke didn't want to say more, Liu Liang didn't want to ask any more questions and followed him.
Not long after, the two returned to the place where they entered the black market, which was the alley.
It was dark here, and the street lights outside disappeared after turning a few corners. Only the thin starlight in the sky could barely illuminate the place, allowing ordinary people to see the situation here after adapting, and not be so dark that they couldn't see their fingers when they stretched out their hands.
The two people walking in the alley were obviously not ordinary people. They treated the darkness here as if it were daytime and walked forward normally.
There is a gap between ordinary people and adventurers, and that is the gap in essence. And as the adventurer's level increases, the gap in essence becomes larger.
This essential gap results in an all-round crushing, whether it is the basics such as strength, speed, defense, or the perception aspects such as hearing, vision, smell, reaction, etc., which are far surpassed.
Therefore, it is normal for high-level adventurers to be able to see normally in such a dim environment.
At this time, Bai Ke, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Faced with this situation, Liu Liang, who was walking behind, also stopped directly.
There was no such bloody incident as a collision between the two of them. After all, the reactions of high-level adventurers are naturally not easy to deal with, and such a situation would not happen under normal circumstances.
"Bai Ke, what's wrong?"
Seeing Bai Ke suddenly stop, Liu Liang asked in confusion.
"Let's split up into two groups. One person goes to the casino, and the other goes to the man's home. This way it will be more efficient."
Bai Ke turned around and looked at Liu Liang and said.
According to the information obtained from the bartender, the man was either going to gamble or on his way to gamble, and the places he often went were the casino and his own home.
Therefore, there will be absolutely no problem in looking in these two places.
And now, Bai Ke just wants to find the other party quickly to avoid any accidents, so it is definitely a very correct thing for the two of them to split up into two groups.
"it is good."
Liu Liang had no objection to this proposal and nodded in agreement.
"Of these two, which one are you going to go to?"
In this matter, Bai Ke was very gentlemanly and let Liu Liang choose first.
He has some indecisiveness syndrome. If two things are put together, he will be entangled and unable to make a decision for a while. It is better to let the other party choose first, and he only needs to choose the rest, so he doesn't have to worry anymore.
“Me…?”
Liu Liang hesitated for a moment, then she made up her mind and said, "Casino, I'll go to the casino."
"Well, then I'll go to the other party's address."
Bai Ke nodded, and then he said:
"Let's set the meeting point here. Those two places are not far from here. This is a good meeting point."
"no problem."
Just like before, Liu Liang had no problem with it and agreed to it directly.
After making the decision, the two did not stay here. Instead, they climbed over the surrounding houses and rushed towards their respective destinations.
Above the night sky, the stars have gradually become clear, and the crescent moon is gradually rising in the corner of the sky. They emit faint fluorescence, barely illuminating the earth.
And above the earth, there lies a huge city dotted with colorful neon lights. The night does not put the city to sleep, but instead brings a different kind of hustle and bustle.
After a busy day, some of the workers chose to go home and rest, but more of them flocked to the pub, ordered a glass of cheap drink, watched the hot dancers dancing on the dance floor, whistled a few times, said a few dirty words, and enjoyed the few pleasures.
Many adventurers were also hanging around among them, behaving dissolutely in the tavern, saying obscene words, touching the dancers in their arms with their hands, and their faces were full of anxiety.
And these are just a microcosm of a pub.
Right above the bustling tavern, a figure flashed from the shadows and quickly moved forward. No one saw or noticed this figure.
There was no doubt that this figure was Bai Ke.
After crossing several busy streets in succession, Bai Ke finally stopped at a somewhat dilapidated street that was almost abandoned. He stood on a tall building and looked at the surrounding houses.
"Block 7, room 35."
Muttering these numbers, Bai Ke looked around and soon found the destination he was looking for based on the default order of the buildings.
This is a somewhat old two-story building, standing among the surrounding buildings. It should have been inconspicuous, but the lights on inside formed a sharp contrast with the surroundings.
Because it is close to an abandoned area, most of the buildings here are abandoned and few people live there.
Therefore, this area is dark and there are only a few buildings with lights on, which makes the target location somewhat conspicuous and eye-catching.
sigh~
After determining the target location, Bai Ke's figure instantly disappeared from the original place, and after a few flashes and jumps, he appeared on the rooftop of the target location.
someone.
When he arrived here, Bai Ke noticed the presence of two people in the building under his feet. Then, with his inhuman hearing, he captured the movements and sounds inside.
Inside the small building is a relatively normal family home, but it is a little simple, with no decorations at all, and there is not a single homely atmosphere.
At this moment, there were two people sitting on the shabby sofa in the living room. Both of them looked middle-aged. One had an ordinary face, while the other looked a bit wretched. It was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.
If Bai Ke was here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that the wretched-looking guy inside was the wretched middle-aged man who had been sold to him before, the guy he was looking for.
"Lent, do you think the big commotion that happened today will affect us?"
The middle-aged man with an ordinary face asked hesitantly.
"Gurley, do you think that given our identities and abilities, we are worthy of being captured by the adventurers?"
The wretched man lying on the sofa with his feet on the armrests and drinking a bottle of wine didn't care much when he heard the words of the man opposite him. He continued:
"Besides, we are just helping some black shop vendors to promote their products. We are not even accomplices. Even if we are caught, we will just be detained for a few months for education. It's no big deal at all."
Don’t these two guys know who’s behind this?
On the rooftop, Bai Ke frowned, but finally resisted the urge to go down and interrogate the two about their thoughts. He planned to wait and see if the other party would reveal any useful information.
Inside the room, the conversation between the two continued.
“That’s right…”
After hearing Lent's explanation, the middle-aged man named Gary nodded in realization, realizing that he seemed to be a little too worried.
Then, Gurley showed hesitation on his face, and finally asked hesitantly:
"Lent, tell me, if I do what they say, will they really keep their promise and release my wife and daughter?"
