my wife is a consul

Chapter 316 Case in Case

The only tavern in the small town is full of people, and the smell of inferior alcohol is overwhelming. The more people live, there is no hope. The taverns and movie theaters have more people, because they need to anesthetize themselves. Of course, the services provided must be cheap.

Lu Ming sat at the table by the window with the window open, but he could bear the noise and pungent smell inside.

Sitting across from Han Anni and Isabel, Lu Ming felt a little helpless. He originally wanted to ask Han Anni to come to the bar to chat about something, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he suggested that everyone go to the bar for a drink. This kind of dirty and messy bar wants to come to Isabel This kind of young lady would not come, but she didn't want to, so she followed with great interest.

It's a little clingy.

Lu Ming murmured in his heart, but it was also funny, he was a bit of a Versailles, even Christine, in front of this daughter, didn't have such a face.

The three servants stood aside.

The finished beer I want is the one with a cap, and I bring my own cup to avoid being tricked by the people here. After all, looking at their eyes, I resist myself.

After finding out the real identities of the three gunmen and reporting them to the police, not only did Nelson personally lead the team to the town, but the Houseville Police Department also dispatched dozens of police officers to cooperate. , also sent staff to come.

For a while, there were many strangers in this small town.

Lu Ming and the others had calmed down, but the secret deployment of the idlers team was still going on.

In fact, Isabel's idea requires a huge amount of human support, and naturally there are people who secretly protect her.

Lu Ming could feel that Isabel's three personal swordsmen had been specially trained since they were young, and their comprehensive ability might be similar to that of Heitou. Although Bizhu was strong, Heitou was a monk after all.

Even so, near Isabel, there will definitely be a large group secretly following, the size of dozens of people must be there, and it should not exceed the range of a hundred miles.

After tasting the beer, Lu Ming nodded, it was not a fake beer, it was genuine bull beer in an iron can.

It is also the most expensive wine in this tavern, 1 dime a can.

"Sir, miss, don't you want some side dishes? Our air-dried beef is delicious!" Standing next to him was a small figure, a little girl wearing suspender jeans, about Bisi's age, wearing She has a plaid forward hat, a dirty face, and dirty jeans. She is the daughter of the proprietress of the tavern and the only bartender.

Lu Ming couldn't understand her babbling words, and Han Anni was translating.

Isabel looked at the little girl with pity in her eyes, but she didn't say much, and looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was about to make a point. Although he didn't eat, he still took care of the business here.

But then a fat man at the next table yelled something, the little girl's expression changed, and she quickly turned around and got into the dancing crowd.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Are you not letting her deal with us?"

Han Anni didn't speak, Isabel stuck out her tongue, "That uncle shouted, saying we are bad people, be careful that she, a child laborer, will also be arrested."

Lu Ming smiled, took a sip of his beer glass, and said, "I feel that the possibility that the three gunmen are members of the Hodelman family is increasing." Lowering his voice, the place is noisy, and the table next to him is also busy. I can't hear it, not to mention that the guests here are all locals from the small town, and I'm afraid none of them can understand Zhongzhou language.

It was difficult to bring up the topic that I wanted to talk to Han Anni, so I started talking about the case.

All three of them spoke Zhongzhou language and kept their voices low, not afraid of being overheard by others.

Han Anni who was talking suddenly stopped, but the little girl came over again and stood beside Lu Ming, holding two bouquets of flowers in her hands, saying something in a clear and soft voice, looking at Lu Ming with hopeful eyes.

Without translating, Lu Ming knew that the little girl was here to sell her own flowers. There were about seven or eight bright red flowers, which were simply tied into two bunches with cloth strips. At a glance, it was probably the flowers in the flower garden in the backyard of the little girl's tavern. up.

Lu Ming laughed in his heart, this little girl is quite good at doing business.

He took out the wallet from his pocket, took a ten-yuan green note and handed it to the little girl, saying, "The rest is for tips, so don't look for it!"

Although she couldn't understand Lu Ming's words, the little girl was overjoyed when she saw that the flowers were really sold. She took the green note and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you sir!"

Lu Ming could understand these words, but he saw that the little girl was already bouncing to the bar.

Lu Ming handed two bouquets of flowers to Han Anni and Isabel, and said with a smile, "Don't do it in vain, we are not bad people, we are misunderstood and scolded, we reward ourselves!"

"Thank you teacher!" Isabel happily accepted.

Han Anni was a little hesitant. It can be seen that Isabel's heart is pure and pure, so she also took the flowers, "Thank you!"

Over there, the little girl slipped back from the crowd of drunken dancers, holding banknotes in the colors of one-yuan bills and dimes, which were naturally the money that Lu Ming needed to get back for buying flowers.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Run fast, I haven't allowed you to be my interpreters yet!"

Among the dancing crowd was a fat man who was drunk and flushed. When the little girl passed by her, he slapped the little girl on the bottom.

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Although the little girl hid to the side angrily, she didn't stop. Over the bar, her mother also saw this scene. She just bit her lip and forced a smile, chatting with the customers who were drinking at the bar. Knowing what was said, the guests laughed.

It can be seen that the mother and daughter are discussing life and opening a bar, and they are probably used to this level of harassment.

"Sir, I'm looking for your money!" The little girl came to Lu Ming's side and bowed, and put a bunch of money in her hand on the table.

It looked like I found nine 9-yuan bills, some corner notes and steel coins, and those flowers probably cost a few cents.

Lu Ming nodded, the little girl bowed again, and ran towards the table of guests who were calling her.

Lu Ming looked at the banknotes on the table, and said with a smile: "It's all spent. I don't think the proprietress will spit in our food. I'll go and see what delicious local food is there." Standing up, and Said: "When I go back this time, I must learn Griffinian well, otherwise, I will be blinded when I come to the south and west!" Picking up the handful of banknotes on the table, he walked towards the bar.

Isabel looked at Han Anni, smiled lightly and said, "Annie, how about my teacher who is my teacher? Teach him Griffonian."

Han Anni smiled and said: "That's good! But, this guy..." I want to say that this guy is not a good person, you seem to be deceived by his appearance now, but think about it, in order to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them, I have been It's not good to say good things about that guy to this good friend, but now he says bad things about him, so the words go back to his stomach.

At this moment, there was sudden confusion and screams over there.

A subordinate swordsman has already rushed there, and the other two are guarding Isabel.

The dancing crowd dispersed, exclaiming again and again, and the conflict seemed to subside soon.

There were four or five strong men lying on the ground, and the swordsman who rushed over was standing beside Lu Ming, with an extra rubber baton in his hand.

The little flower seller timidly hid behind Lu Ming.

Lu Ming looked at a fat and strong man lying in front of him, it was the one who started pinching the little girl's buttocks, the little girl turned around, he suddenly picked up the little girl and kissed and gnawed, he just walked to the side , almost subconsciously, he went up with a kick, kicked the strong man down and took the little girl.

Several accomplices of the strong man immediately came to surround and beat him. Fortunately, one of Isabel's subordinate swordsmen arrived and knocked them down.

Lu Ming glanced at the subordinate swordsman, this muscular female man was not covered, and although they used batons, they clearly used the martial arts skills of long swords, clean and powerful.

……

There were few people in the bar. Just now, Police Officer Zoff came in a hurry and took away a few strong men who were beaten. The one who was kicked down by Lu Ming drank too much and wanted to chase Lu several times after standing up. Ming was copied away.

After such a commotion, the proprietress temporarily closed down, and only Lu Ming stayed behind.

The proprietress called Hetty, brought some snacks, cleared a table and asked Lu Ming to sit down, and said thank you.

Her daughter Lida, a little flower seller, was standing beside Lu Ming, reluctant to leave. It was probably the first time someone came forward to protect her when she was harassed by those smelly big men.

"Actually, I might make it impossible for you to open the shop!" Lu Ming said, while a female follower was interpreting.

"It's nothing!" Hetty sighed softly, "I was planning to graduate in the past two years, but I was a little confused and didn't know what to do in the future, but Lida is getting bigger and bigger, and I used to be able to treat them as a It’s okay to love Lida, to hug and kiss once in a while, but now I can’t, so no matter what, I still want to thank you, sir! Thank you very much for helping me make up my mind.”

Lu Ming nodded, thinking about it: "It's good to move out of here. Both of them can help you. It's not difficult to find a job in the city." Lu Ming pointed to Han Anni and Isabel, and paused Next, he said again: "Also, the hotel I bought in the city has also been talked about, you can go to work there."

Hetty was stunned, and when she looked at Lu Ming, she began to look seriously.

In this town, Hetty should be regarded as a town flower or something. The beautiful young woman still has a certain charm, and her light blue eyes imply amorous feelings.

Lu Ming said again: "I have some questions, you can answer them in a few days, and we can arrange someone to take your mother and daughter to the city in a while, and then answer after you settle down with your work and life. If you want to go further, go to the East China Sea I can arrange that too."

Hetty's face changed slightly, as if thinking of something.

Lu Ming knew it was right to come here.

In fact, coming to this bar originally meant to inquire about news.

To say that the most well-informed person in this small town is naturally Hetty, the bar proprietress.

But I don't want to, because of a conflict, it has become what it is today, so I can strike while the iron is hot and don't need to hide it.

"You should already know about the three of Simmons. I have some questions for you about the three of them." Lu Ming thought about it, and then said: "Don't worry, as I said, you can ask these questions in a few days , Wait until your life is settled, and you feel satisfied, stay away from right and wrong here before answering, of course, if you are willing to trust us, it is better to answer now, because some questions are time-sensitive."

Hearing Lu Ming's words translated by the female entourage, Hetty's face was cloudy, and he hesitated for a while.
