The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 36
"What shall we do next?" Tom Severed Finger took his luggage, and hurriedly followed He Nan who had turned on the flashlight: "We must find a place to get out! The police are chasing us from behind..."

"The nearby exit is definitely not acceptable. This is where the police will control first." He Nan ran wildly in the sewer, and said in a low voice: "We have to go around with them in the sewer and get out from a farther place. They can't stare every manhole cover!"

The police were left far behind.

It's not that hard to get them lost now.

Take more sideways.

The sewer system here is too complicated.

Countless branches, and even the hidden paths opened up by various underground organizations... are enough to cause headaches for trackers.

After running at full speed for a while, He Nan felt that the police would definitely be unable to catch up, and seeing that Tom was out of breath, he stopped and took a rest.

"It just so happens that the smell isn't too strong here." He Nan frowned and sniffed it, his expression relaxed: "Why don't we just make it clear here, Tom. As I reminded you before—you'd better not be wrong." I have something to hide, otherwise Aaron's family may..."

"I know——I'll tell you everything!" Tom with the severed finger quickly promised himself that he must tell the truth: "At that time, he told me so..."

The story told by Tom Severed Finger was longer than He Nan imagined.

The main reason is that he talks too much nonsense.

Even though He Nan reminded him several times to only talk about the main points, there would still be a lot of confused words from drunk people in it.

To put it simply, I can't help but want to brag and forget what the last sentence was.

This made He Nan, who recorded the statement with a voice recorder, feel even more irritated: it took up too much memory.

But no matter what, He Nan still got the clue he wanted.

In addition to the information he already got from Eddie Brock, the new dry goods are as follows.

1: In fact, there is a leather bag company in Rostar Cargo, and under the guise of its name, it controls the operation of an orphanage in absolute proportion.Some children disappeared suddenly after being sent to orphanages.They were not adopted, but sold to the benefactor by Rostar Freight.Broken Finger Tom couldn't remember clearly, so he only provided the approximate name of the orphanage, but He Nan found out its true identity by looking up the initials and the phonetic words: White Swan Orphanage.

2: Aaron once caught a street girl named Lisa, but he let her go quietly because of his soft heart.Later, Aaron often liked to go to her for pleasure, and Tom knew the business location of this street girl.

These are things Aaron never mentioned to Brock.

After all, Tom Broken Finger and him are buddies, and his vigilance is low, so it is easy to let go and say more things.

...or rather, ex-buddies.

"Thank you, Tom." Ho Nan patted him on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and handed over two hundred dollars: "I will try my best to ensure that Aaron is innocent. This is a tip for you. Just a little thought, don't be too little."

Although Tom didn't know it, it was indeed Ho Nan who provoked the gangsters that caused him to leave the slums.

In addition, he had lied to him, so He Nan felt somewhat guilty.

"Ah——you are so generous, sir!" Unexpectedly, he could still get money, Tom grinned suddenly, showing the broken teeth that he had no money to fill: "Can you give me a call? Maybe we can become friends in the future. "

He Nan felt that this kind of homeless man could easily hear some rumors from the streets and alleys, and it would be good to develop a relationship.

That's how the informant came about.

"Here." He Nan handed him a business card of the detective agency, and said with a smile, "Don't call Shirley to harass her, or I may cause you a little accident when I see you again." ...do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood!" Tom nodded quickly: "You killed four gangsters by yourself... How dare I provoke you!"

"Actually, they are not dead, but you just need to know the seriousness of the problem." He Nan nodded: "Let's go. Go north for a while, and then find a ladder to climb up."

"How do you know we're heading north?"

He Nan lit up the compass in his hand.

Tom froze for a moment, then let out a loud laugh.

"It's really well equipped, buddy!"

"Of course—oh, be quiet." He Nan remembered that he hadn't contacted Shirley yet: "I'm going to make a call."

"Your girlfriend?" Tom leaned over and looked at the phone screen, and found that it was the same as the female detective's number on the business card, showing a smile full of interest.

"No." He Nan wanted to say yes, but he still had to reject it.

"Isn't that too soon?"

He Nan didn't say anything.

He just silently listened to the prompt "The user is temporarily unavailable" and hung up the phone.

"Can't get through?" Tom with the severed finger became curious again: "There will be no accident."

"Don't be cynical with me." He Nan glared at him, "It's just a temporary inconvenience."

In fact, there are many such situations.

When they need to sneak in secretly and have important conversations, they may mute their phones in advance, even turn off vibration.

After all, vibration is also noisy.

However, no matter how normal it was, He Nan was still a little uneasy when he couldn't get in touch with Xueli.

I can't control my anxiety, worrying if something happened to her.

It's okay, she will call me back when she is free...

He Nan comforted himself like this.

Let's go out and investigate the case.

He Nan took out his notebook, looked at the street where the prostitute Lisa often stood, and looked at the electronic map, and decided to visit her first.

It's closer than the orphanage.

"It's still broad daylight." He Nan asked Tom: "Will she be there?"

"Should be. Aaron usually goes to play during the day." Broken Finger Tom said with a smile: "At night, his wife watches closely, how dare he find a woman to play with... By the way, the girl Lisa is amazing, 200 dollars is enough It's a luxurious time, I'll go with you and forget it."

"Don't mess with me, Tom." He Nan frowned and glanced at him again: "After today, you can play with her as you like. But I prefer you to make good use of the money instead of seeking some temporary pleasure flesh and blood."

"You're right," Tom murmured. "Oh, old Tom...are you stupid? How much wine is enough for $200! Oh, wait...what if I go to play dice? What if Two hundred becomes four hundred, four hundred becomes eight hundred... won't I be able to get rid of wandering life soon? This money...these banknotes have endless magic power!"

"You...you can do whatever you want, but if you don't quit gambling, you won't be able to get rid of this situation." He Nan felt a little annoyed, but after all, he wasn't his father, so there was no need to educate him.

Just as He Nan's voice fell to the ground, there was a sudden abnormal noise from the sewer ahead.

...It seems to be the sound of something running fast.

Swift, yet heavy—not the sound of human footsteps.
