from night city

When Connor called Hanks' best friends in the Valentino Gang, they called them separately.

When they learned that Hanks was not there.

Kangna felt like a basin of cold water was poured on her head.

It was cold from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

Only then did she realize.

problem occurs.

She went to find the priest and the leader of the Valentino gang to which Hanks belonged.

Asking for their help in finding Hanks.

Both the priest and the gang leader agreed to help.

This is not a superficial promise.

But really paid for the action.

The priest issued a commission to his hacker.

Let them search for Hanks' traces and whereabouts in cyberspace.

The leader of Hanks' gang is more direct.

Send people directly to Heywood to search everywhere.

However, nothing was found.

It's like Hanks disappeared from the world.

Not a trace was left.

Kang Na was in tears all day long.

In the end there was really no way.

Only then did Connor come to find Jack.

In fact, Kangna didn't know why she did this.

In terms of influence, the influence of the priest and the leader of the Valentino Gang is undoubtedly greater than that of Jack.

They have tried their best to mobilize their men to find him.

No clues.

And Jack...

But Kangna came anyway.

It may be that people are desperate and unwilling to give up even if there is a glimmer of opportunity.

It is also possible that you seek medical attention due to a sudden illness.

Kangna looked at Jack expectantly: "Please tell me, you will definitely be able to find Hanks."

Jack didn't dare look into Connor's eyes.

"Kanna, I can't guarantee this. I can only say that I will try my best."

Connor had seen Jack's reaction many times in the past few days from other people.

She realized she was the one giving Jack a hard time.

"I see."

……

After Kangna left.

"Su."

"It goes without saying, your business is my business."

"Thank you, Sue."

Lidya Su waved her hand.

Just a little thing.

Signaling Jack not to think so much.

"Where do you think Hanks might go?"

"I understand what you mean, but what shortcomings does Hanks have? But dissipation will not be his shortcoming. He cannot have a lover outside. Something must have happened to him."

"You mean...the Sixth Street Gang? Or the Scavengers?"

The only enemy of the Valentino Gang is the Sixth Street Gang who robbed Lijing District with them.

Other than that, he is just a scavenger who can't deal with anyone.

Except for the sex dolls and homeless people living at the bottom, almost everyone is the prey of the scavengers.

etc.

They don't attack the sex dolls and homeless people at the lowest level, not because of kindness, but because they can't squeeze any money out of them.

People like this who are struggling at the bottom use the most ragged prosthetics, junkyards.

Scavengers are kidney cutters, not rag pickers.

If you sell junk, no one will accept it.

Therefore, it is possible that he was caught by the Sixth Street Gang.

But it is also possible that it fell into the hands of the scavengers.

If it's the latter, it's in trouble.

Because few people can survive 24 hours on their hands.

"I'd better make a few calls first and ask."

The best informed people in the city are the middlemen.

If anyone might know Hanks' whereabouts.

Only the middlemen know.

The first thing Su Xiao thought of was the middleman active in Santo Domingo, "Old Captain" Muammar Reyes.

Since Faraday's death, the most famous middleman in Saint-Domingue is only the old captain.

"Hey, old captain, are you busy?"

"Su, I haven't contacted you for a while. What have you been doing lately?"

The old captain still had the same magnetic voice.

Judging from the picture on the holographic phone, the old captain seemed to be in a good mood.

"Nothing, by the way, I have something to trouble you with."

"I still don't like nonsense, okay, I don't hate it anyway, just tell me."

Su Xiao quickly explained Hanks' situation.

"This is the situation, so I would like to ask you to help me make inquiries in Santo Domingo to see if I can find his whereabouts."

"Okay, no problem, I'll ask you later."

"You agreed so readily? I thought you would refuse."

"Why should I refuse? I have no friendship with the Sixth Street Gang."

"Thanks."

"Don't thank me. If there are any clues, I will ask you for intelligence fees later. Talking about your relationship will hurt your money."

After that, Su Xiao called Regina, Okada, Gezi, and Rogge respectively.

Then all they could do was wait in the bar.

The efficiency of the middleman is indeed fast enough.

Two days later, Regina texted.

……

A Delamain taxi stopped in front of a dilapidated building in the Kabuki district of Watson District.

Jack glanced out the car window.

"What did Regina say? She said Hanks was here?"

"No," Su Xiao shook her head, "Regina said that there is a company here that recruits workers from outside every now and then."

Jack patiently continued to listen.

He knew that Lidya Su would not say irrelevant words.

"It's not unusual for a company to need workers, but what's strange is that the company's demand seems to never be filled. It needs workers every once in a while, as if there are a lot of gaps there."

Jack finally came to his senses.

"Are you saying that the so-called company is actually a human trafficking company?"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

"But Hanks..."

Jack frowned slightly.

Generally speaking, most of the people who are trafficked are ordinary people.

Because they don't have combat prosthetics, as long as there are two scavengers with guns, ordinary people will have to obey.

But Hanks is different.

He is very good at fighting in the Valentino Gang.

Ordinary three or five people couldn't get close to him.

Besides, he also has a gun.
