Chapter 62 Floods in the Dragon King Temple
"Are you kidding?"
After taking his hand out of his pocket, he looked at the girl in front of him with her head tilted in a nonchalant manner, not even bothering to look at him in a scarf. Leon was suddenly in a bad mood, frowned and protested: "Today's thing The amount given is indeed sufficient, but in reality it is just a spoonful of coffee powder, plus some bread and ham. If the cost is divided, it will last for two copper wheels. Isn’t it too expensive to sell it? "
"What?"
After hearing Leon's complaint, the scarf woman was slightly startled, then turned back and asked with a dark face:
"You said these things are worth two bronze wheels?"
Damn it! In order to prepare for the surveillance point across the street, the field office requested four golden wheels! Just for ingredients and the like, I paid a full two gold wheels. These guys are really shameless!
“……”
No...are you actually angry? Is Old Charles' daughter so unreasonable?
Looking at the evil-looking scarf girl in front of him, Leon, who had been taken advantage of early in the morning, suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and said with the same black face:
"Of course it's not worth it! I've eaten at this stall several times, and I can barely be considered a regular customer. I still don't know the approximate price of the food?"
"Are you mistaken?"
The scarf woman frowned and said:
"Where did you get this old customer? I just opened the store today!"
"..."
ah? Just opened today? So you're not Old Charles's daughter?
Realizing that he had identified the wrong stall, Leon couldn't help but feel discouraged. However, thinking about the sky-high price of a silver wheel, he still couldn't help but argued: "Even if you are not the same person. It’s a stall, but selling this thing for a silver wheel is too expensive.”
"Uh-huh!"
The corner of his eye swept across the building opposite, and he noticed that someone seemed to be looking out of the target's house. Worried about being noticed, the scarf girl quickly retreated into the tent, pretending to be entertaining guests, and said absentmindedly:
"How much is appropriate? You tell me a price!"
"..."
Ah... you want me to make a price directly? Are you so casual in doing business?
Stunned by the scarf girl's sexy moves, Leon tentatively said:
"As for the price... I used to eat these at other stalls, and the price was only two copper wheels, but the ingredients you gave me were really sufficient, and the fire was burning brightly..."
"Then I'll take two copper wheels too!"
"..."
After waiting for a few seconds and not hearing anything from Leon, the scarf girl immediately looked away and said impatiently:
"Is it too expensive? Then..."
"No, no, this price is fine..."
Regarding Scarf Girl's business philosophy, Lyon was completely speechless.
After raising his hand to stop the other party from continuing to lower the price, Leon sat back in his seat and ate his breakfast without any taste.
This man's business is really... as if he were joking, and he doesn't even look at people when he speaks, he always turns his head and glances at the building opposite...
By the way, she couldn't be a detective who caught the mistress, a criminal who exposed her accomplices, or a secret police officer who was keeping tabs on her, right?
Although generally speaking, it is unlikely to encounter such a coincidence, the more Leon thought about it, the more he felt that there was nothing wrong with this woman who covered the lower half of her face with a scarf, at least she didn't have anything at all. Not like a coffee stall owner. "guest!"
After being keenly aware of Leon's gaze and reading some suspicion from his eyes, the scarf girl's attention was finally drawn back. Her beautiful and bright almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and her extremely oppressive sight instantly covered her. Come over.
"Have you been looking at me? Do you need anything else?"
"Um...no..."
Being stared at by her made him feel a little nervous, and besides, it was indeed rude to stare at others all the time. Leon muttered twice before turning his head away, chewing the bread in his mouth, and looking absentmindedly towards the street.
To be honest, if this scarf girl is really watching, she is probably either waiting for someone to pass by on this street, or looking at the building opposite.
If I remember correctly, the building opposite seemed to be the family building of the Tong Lacquer Factory. However, after the Tong Lacquer Factory closed down, the four floors below were rented out and opened into apartments.
But because of the location and the noisy street, business has never been very good, and most of the houses on the first and second floors are often empty.
So if the Scarf Jurchen is stalking, considering that the view from below will be blocked, if you are on the third or fourth floor, you should monitor it from a higher place. Her target should be the residents on the first and second floors...
Um? Wait a moment! Why is that window on the second floor open? return……
"guest!"
Accompanied by a cold shout, a pair of long, round and tight legs stepped into Leon's sight, instantly blocking the situation on the opposite floor.
Leon looked up along the legs, passing over the opponent's slender waist and the pair of fruits tied on the twigs, and saw two eyes full of hunting chill.
"What are you looking at?"
After blocking the line of sight between the other party and the target's residence to prevent him from warning the target, looking at the man who first used words to entangle and test, and then not only repeatedly looked at himself, but even frequently looked at the target location, the scarf woman's eyes suddenly couldn't help but feel chilled. Dasheng asked in a cold and hard voice:
"Or...what are you looking at?"
"..."
Good guy! You are really following me!
Seeing that the scarf girl had directly revealed her identity and even suspected him, Leon suddenly frowned.
When this woman glares at people, her aura is as sharp as a knife. At first glance, she does not look like a detective who caught the mistress, let alone the kind of thief who lets loose. She has probably seen blood.
The people in the entire royal capital who have this kind of temperament and are still doing surveillance work are either special forces from the military department, secret police from the police department, or even simply gangsters preparing to carry out attacks, and these three Each person is more troublesome than the other...
Just as Leon was hesitating whether to take out his ID from the Cleanup Bureau and bet that she was not a gangster but half one of his own, he heard a loud shout coming from the direction of the opposite building.
"Where are the people?!"
Leon looked up following the sound and found a scarred man with bulging veins on his face, sticking his head out of the window on the second floor. He was extremely angry and roared towards this side: "Where did he go? ! Isa! ! Is this what you’re looking for?”
? ! ! !
……
"I know it sounds a little unbelievable, but I really just wanted to get a cup of coffee..."
Leon, who was escorted into the interrogation room of the police department and handcuffed on a chair, looked at the several secret policemen who were watching eagerly across from him, and had no choice but to raise his chin in the direction of the scarf woman.
"I really didn't have to pester her. I just ordered a cup of coffee and two slices of bread, but she actually asked me to pay a silver wheel! This price is enough to buy half a ham, okay?
My money It's not like it was brought directly by the strong wind, and you have to work hard a little bit. If you were to encounter such an outrageous situation early in the morning, how could you resist arguing with her? "
