Chapter 32 Iron Fist Strikes
Outer city.
Water beach.
This is the edge area of urban sewage, close to a huge sewage canal.
It is better to say it is a canal than a spacious "moat".
Drainage pipes as huge as train caves are lined up under the embankments, discharging sewage to the city day and night.
The sewage flows along the canals to the outside of the city, joins the river, and finally leads to the eastern ocean.
However, due to issues with discharge efficiency, a huge amount of sewage has been accumulated in Xiashuitan for a long time, causing this neighborhood to be full of stench, and is also called a "stinky area" by Amber City residents.
Although Xia Shuitan is despised by others, and no one with any status or wealth will ever come here, it also attracts countless people from the lower class to live together.
If you don’t want to travel inside and outside the city every day, or if you are proud to live in the city for a long time, Xiashuitan is the best choice.
Of course, with a mix of good and bad and poverty, the waterfront is a breeding ground for crime. An area that even patrol guards and police officers are unwilling to set foot on is basically left to its own devices.
This is also the shadow of the entire big city.
The only tavern in Xiashuitan is the Flower and Bird Tavern.
This is one of the few places where Xiashuitan residents can have fun, of course, because it’s cheap. With only 1 Copper Crow, you can come in and join in the fun. Whether it's looking at a scantily clad maid or shouting about a fight.
At this time, the tavern was full of guests, noisy and hot, and maids were carrying trays among the crowd.
A man wearing a short leather jacket and striped tights opened the door and walked in.
"Hey, Lenny."
The proprietress wearing heavy makeup greeted him cordially when she saw him.
"I still have something to do. I'll come play with you when I'm done..."
The man smiled evilly and grabbed a handful of her, then walked straight inside.
The drinkers saw him and quickly got out of the way.
A blind guy bumped into him and was about to curse. When he saw the person clearly, he immediately stepped away and bent down to apologize.
Fortunately, the man didn't want to waste time, so he glanced at him coldly and left.
The drunkard who hit someone broke into a cold sweat.
These are people from the Iron Fist Gang. If they are offended, they will definitely feel better!
This Flower and Bird Tavern is the territory of the Iron Fist Gang. When playing here, you must keep your eyes open. Otherwise, no one knows whether their bodies will be floating in the drainage ditch tomorrow.
The man in the leather jacket walked through the back kitchen and came to the inner courtyard. There was a large open space with some wooden targets placed on the open space. These targets are dressed in rags and straw hats and appear to be simulated human bodies.
A high-rise building and two warehouses are enclosed behind the open space.
He walked quickly into the building, where there were dozens of gangsters wearing leather jackets and tight pants like him.
Sitting on the innermost extended sofa was a sturdy man with a sturdy back and a sturdy back. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, with his hair slicked back, and was smoking a cigarette.
"Boss Gary, the investigation has been completed."
The man in the leather jacket bowed respectfully.
"Say."
The strong man exhaled a puff of smoke and unbuttoned a button of his vest with some discomfort.
"That boy is a foreigner who came here by carriage. He has a very beautiful female companion, who seems to be his sister...
It seems that they are all well dressed, but they only live in a rented house at No. 7 Denton Street. ”
"Well done."
Gary complimented, took the last puff, and stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
"It seems like they are two young people who came to the big city to live with relatives or study..."
He seemed to have remembered something and suddenly seemed a little irritable.
"A foreigner like this with no identity or background is the most suitable target...
You find an opportunity to kill that man and capture the girl!
But be careful and don't make too much noise. Although the outer city is chaotic, it is not our Iron Fist Gang who has the final say. ”
"I know, boss."
The man in the leather jacket responded, greeted a few brothers playing cards, and left the building.
Gary slowly lay back on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.
"I hope this will allow Mr. Federman to give you a little more time..."
……
Click, click, click!
Snap!
Put the fixed row of lead bullets into the magazine with your fingers and close the lid.
Chen Lun looked at the four flintlock guns and two pairs of iron gloves on the table with satisfaction.
"It's a pity that we don't have much ammunition... Those investigators don't know how to carry more with them, and they are searching and searching, but they are useless!"
Chen Lun looked indignant.
I'm sorry for his misfortune, but I'm angry that he doesn't fight!
This is just about caring about their life safety, definitely not complaining about not having enough bullets.
"Here, this gun is for you to defend yourself."
Chen Lun handed a flintlock gun to Floy.
Floy took it, touched the pattern on it, and smiled.
"Thank you."
Chen Lun packed up the weapons and equipment on the table and stood up, looking at the clock on the wall.
Exactly nine twenty in the morning.
"Let's go, it's dinner time."
"Are you going to eat at Mrs. Caroline's place on the second floor?"
Chen Lun nodded in surprise.
"Of course, we gave you money!"
Although he also knew that 1 Yinjue's food expenses were definitely less, Mrs. Caroline's rich food and enthusiasm could not be bought with money.
But Chen Lun also remembered this friendship.
If a blind guy comes to the flower shop to cause trouble, he will definitely carve a flower into the other person's asshole.
If possible, the troublemaker had better know where Dolly is.
It would be better if Dolly himself came to cause trouble.
By the way, tell him the address of Viscount Pompeii's house.
Getting something for nothing is a beautiful thing!
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the troublemaker.
He and Floy walked out of the room and when they went down to the third floor, they suddenly heard a quarrel.
"I won't go! How many times have I told you that there is definitely something wrong with the medicine provided by the Red Apple Church? Why don't you listen? Dad!"
A girl yelled angrily.
Then the door slammed shut.
Chen Lun then saw the chestnut-haired girl from last night coming to the corridor angrily, seemingly ready to go downstairs.
Her appearance is not stunning, and she even has some freckles, but she is attractive.
At this time, Connie's face was still stained with tears, and she was a little surprised to find two peers appearing in the corridor.
Then when she saw Chen Lun, she seemed to think of the scene she saw last night again, frowned and turned around to leave.
"..."
Chen Lun was helpless and too lazy to explain to others.
He took Floy to the second floor and happened to meet Mrs. Caroline.
"Oh little Jack, and beautiful little Floy... come in quickly, I want to go upstairs to call you."
"Excuse me, Mrs. Caroline."
The two of them followed in, and Mrs. Caroline had already placed the prepared breakfast on the dining table.
The layout of Mrs. Caroline's room is the same as that of other tenants, but with her decoration, it looks more elegant and noble.
And a hint of girlishness.
You can see flowers of various colors trimmed and packed in vases everywhere inside, and you can smell a fresh fragrance when you walk in.
"Eat quickly, this is the fish egg risotto I carefully prepared, I believe you will like it."
Mrs. Caroline walked to the table and lifted the lid from the dinner plate.
A strong milky aroma hit his face, and Chen Lun couldn't help but twitch his index finger. (End of chapter)
