I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 89 The Real Bottom Life

Dante and Ivy looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of suspicion in each other's eyes.

"I didn't dare to report the case to the police station, because the Magic Association was sponsored by Congressman Nero.

People like me, if there is no conclusive evidence, there is a high probability that they will be directly kicked out by the police station and labeled as spreading rumors.
It is even possible for me to compensate Nero for the loss of his reputation. "

Henry sat on the chair, moved his body a few times, and asked tentatively:

"Of course, this is just my guess, you guys"

"Don't worry, we have nothing to do with that Nero congressman."

Dante answered decisively, seeing the worry of the old man in front of him.

"Our firm has accepted your commission."

"Really? Thank you so much! How much is it, I... I'll give it to you."

Along the way, Henry maintained the unique sensitivity of the poor. At the beginning, he didn't even dare to board the expensive car, for fear that the stains on his clothes would stain the expensive leather seats.

His grandson John Jr. lived back and forth between these two rooms.

Immediately afterwards, he added: "Of course, her craftsmanship is also good."

The first mate once said that in the eyes of rich people, the status of poor people like them is sometimes worse than that of a pet.

Henry's smile was a little shy, but mixed with a little pride: "Her craftsmanship is very good, especially in seafood, which is not even comparable to my daughter-in-law."

People here are generally dressed in old and tattered clothes, and they are wary and envious of foreigners who are glamorous. Some children in ragged clothes are playing nearby. Seeing Dante and others approaching, they hurried to the side of the road. There is clearly visible bewilderment, fear and curiosity in the eyes.

"Maybe, there will be some small rewards for you."

"I made you laugh, my family is really."

The place where Henry's family lives is also in the dock area, but the streets that Dante and Dante went to last time are in two directions.

They were too thin, obviously malnourished. Dante glanced at them, then frowned.

"I don't know much about the details, but according to John, their teacher is a real magician, and the other two official members of the tour troupe are actually just assistants."

But it can be seen that the house is very clean, which proves that the women in the family are very diligent.

"Yes, my wife and daughter-in-law took over the job of pasting cardboard boxes. They need to go to work in the workshop on the port side. They earn about 1 shilling a day. My son works as a laborer at the port."

Henry's house does not have a separate kitchen. The cooking place is a small brick stove built outside the house, and the rusty iron sheet is half-shielded on the top.

While recalling what he knew, Henry said:
"Besides, John usually looks normal, and what happened last night, he doesn't remember at all when he wakes up in the morning.

"Ha, it's like this. If you two don't mind, after my wife comes back, let her cook for you tonight."

Different from the tall chimneys that emit black smoke everywhere in the industrial area, here are basically low old houses. They surround several criss-crossing dirt roads, forming a completely different living environment from the city.

In this way, the group of three walked slowly to the house where Henry's family was located.

Henry moved some benches and beckoned the two to sit down: "As for my grandson John, he is studying with the tour group during the day now, and he will be back soon."

He became extremely nervous, and even suddenly regretted why he came to Joel Street.

Henry stood up happily, and took out a gray wallet from the inner pocket of his patched coat. The corners were severely worn, and it had obviously been used for many years.

The growth environment of the earth did not allow him to establish a clear enough understanding of the concept of class.

Henry quickly said: "Actually, there is no evidence for this matter. It may be because I care too much about John. In fact, our family is very grateful to that Congressman Nero, ah, no, I mean."

"How much do you know about that tour group?" Dante asked.

No way, Dante and others had to get out of the car and walk instead.

Dante would not have imagined that just because of his casual sentence, the old gentleman on the opposite side fell into such a panic,

Dante nodded silently, and suddenly had a deeper understanding of the real life of the people at the bottom of Nolan City.

After crossing several dirt roads in a row, the car could no longer drive, because there were many open-air vendors nearby, and they occupied the road that should be used for vehicles.

"Thank you for your generosity, sir, but I don't need a reward, really."

The eaves are very low, and you need to bend down to walk in. There are two rooms inside, one is for Henry and his wife, and the other is for Henry's son and daughter-in-law.

Ivy also frowned all the time, not knowing whether it was because of the mixed smell in the air, or because of everything she saw in front of her eyes.

The Special Investigation Bureau has a fund specially used to reward insiders who provide intelligence and clues in various cases.
"This"

However, the keenness of being a Extraordinary made him perceive the other party's emotions. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he still comforted him:
"Don't worry too much. We will handle this matter properly. After all, without conclusive evidence, everything is just speculation."

"It's very clean. The two ladies in your family must be very virtuous people." Dante was not stingy with compliments.

Henry subconsciously thought that the handsome detective in front of him had a problem with Congressman Nero, otherwise, how could he have said that instead of charging fees, he would give rewards instead?

An embarrassed and cramped smile appeared on Henry's face. After coming out of the luxurious villa on Youle Street, he was eye-opening and at the same time deeply felt the shame of poverty.

A lifetime of sailing in the ocean has taught him that the more attractive a place is, the more danger it hides.

If the detective in front of him really had a problem with Congressman Nero, would he use this incident to do other things?Wouldn't it be easy to implicate my family?
In an instant, many terrifying scenes emerged in Henry's mind. In his concept, there would never be pennies falling from the sky.

"My honor." Dante did not refuse, and looked around the room: "Are they all out to work?"

He still remembered that when he was on the way to the "Iron Thorn" bar last time, he saw a lot of strong men shouting. The daily salary of those strong men was only about 2 shillings, but the workload was often very heavy.

Dante glanced at the opponent's pair of tiny cracks and dirty hands between the fingers, and said with a smile:

He glanced at the thoughtful Ivy next to him, and continued:
"So, can you take us to the house first to see your grandson?"

"Don't rush to give money, because I am very interested in this matter, so you can talk about the cost later."

By the way, he brought back a notebook yesterday, saying that it was given by that teacher, and told him that this is the key to becoming a magician. "

Notebook. Dante and Ivy looked at each other, and the first thought came to mind: "Could it be a taboo again?"

But then this guess was denied, because if it was true, Henry would never appear in front of him.

"Is that notebook there? Show me it."
