"Well……"
Bai Hua shook her head, trying to tell herself that such a price is not surprising in such an environment, after all, the people living on her floor are nobles and rich merchants.
"what"
Bai Hua sighed softly, half resigned and half helpless.
"Waiter, have a glass of lemonade—wait a minute, do you need money for your lemonade?"
Bai Hua raised her hand to signal the other party to pour a glass of water first, but immediately asked the other party if he wanted money for the water.
"20 cups"
——This TM robbery! The boss of the 'Ripper' gang on the 1st floor is going to cry!
Bai Hua finally got a little angry, people have to risk their lives to rob, and the real guys like daggers, machetes, bows and crossbows can't be spared.
You just sell a glass of water for 20, which is worse than robbery.
"Is it the water charge or the lemon charge?"
"This...should be water, right?"
The waiter was taken aback by Bai Hua's question.
"Okay then, give me 20 slices of lemon first."
"……what?"
The waiter blinked.
Not long after, the big detective, wearing a trench coat and holding a cane, was sitting in front of the dining table, stuffing lemon slices into his mouth while flipping through some news about Victoria.
Although Shi Huaiya stowed a large amount of money in the luggage, Bai Hua always felt that it was weird to use it, so she decided it's better not to spend money randomly for the time being.
After having to bear Snow Rabbit's medical expenses, Bai Hua finally became much calmer, and no longer had any concept of money like before, buying things blindly.
"Oh... I really miss the canteen of the Guard Bureau."
Less than 10 hours after leaving the house, Bai Hua already wanted to go home.
Chapter 196 Vajvan Shocks!
"Unfamiliar ceiling—"
When she opened her eyes, Bai Hua first uttered words that many people want to say more or less once in their lives.
Getting up from the bed, Bai Hua went to the mirror and rubbed her eyes. In the mirror, the blue and golden pupils flickered, showing a subtle sense of incongruity.
This is the VIP accommodation area on the 4th floor of the large land ship 'Titanic', and the reason why Bai Hua is here is because of Miss Shihuaiya's request.
Although the cause and effect are not clear, in short, I need to go to Victoria to attend the family meeting as Shi Huaiya's "boyfriend". After the event is completed, Shi Huaiya will help Rhodes Island to build a factory in the lower city of Longmen.
It sounds like a super suitable business that can make a profit without losing money, and because of this, Bai Hua doesn't have much thought about this task.
It's just going to someone else's house to have a meal and go through a process, and then you can go back to Longmen to continue eating and waiting to die~
After washing up, Bai Hua returned to the room and took out the land-ship itinerary from the table, on which were written various entertainment activities offered at different times of the day.
Bai Hua discovered that there was a so-called 'stage opera' around 7:[-]. Although Bai Hua had never seen such a so-called opera, the word [free] on the price list was still very attractive.
After all, idleness is idleness. It is better to go whoring for nothing in the past.
With this in mind, Bai Hua put on her clothes and headed directly to the theater in the public entertainment area on the third floor. Different from Bai Hua's original expectation, the decoration of this theater was more luxurious than the Longmen Cinema that Neng Angel had been to before. Seats are a little less.
Bai Hua casually found a relatively deserted place and sat down, and found that the program of this stage opera performance was called 'The Past of Syracuse'.
The outline of the story is very simple. It probably tells the history of the evolution of several major family gangs in Syracuse today, mainly revolving around the disputes between the top hat, the butterfly and the mysterious organization once called "Wolfhunter".
"'Grandma' oh, you are also very nice, and you have a lot of younger brothers, but don't worry about grabbing the floor every day, take care of the wild dogs around you, don't let me see you doing little tricks again, You fucking killer."
At first, it seemed that the "Wolf Hunter" organization took the initiative to attack the other two gangs, and some families belonging to the gangs were more or less affected.
And the mysterious person called 'Grandma' seems to be the culprit behind everything. He used some way to completely tilt the gang structure that originally maintained a fragile balance.
The crowd, annoyed by the wolfhunter's attack, decided to take the initiative to fight back, and this was the cause of the gang war in Syracuse.
"Ah, 'Grandma', you are a G8! I scolded you on Syracuse Street, you look at you, leading those dog apprentices every day, people are not ghosts or ghosts, you are like a fool. You See who you are."
"Let me tell you, 'Grandma', come to Syracuse to appoint, my sister has your good juice to eat."
——In order to deal with the increasingly frequent harassment and attacks from 'Grandma' and the wolf hunters, the other two gangs are preparing to join forces to eliminate this unstable factor.
Normally, the two gangs that were restraining each other suddenly set fire to another organization, and the end of the set fire would have to be destroyed. However, after the 'Wolf Hunter', a woman named 'Ms. Sicily' suddenly appeared. exist.
"'Ms. Sicily', you have something to do to me, you let go of my apprentice - I will find you right away!"
"Don't go, they have a lot of money!"
"That's my apprentice! My land—"
"They have a lot of silver!"
"Still fucking wearing your top hat, my land!"
"Tick-tock? Tack-tack-tick-tack!"
"Ah Land - I'm not finished with you, you wait for me, you wait for WO↑~~ (broken sound)"
"..."
This is the end of the first scene of the past in Syracuse. The union of the two families is useless. The wolfhunters continue to invade and plunder the territory. Even later, the so-called "wolfhunters" organization just developed into the "wolfherds". Larger family businesses.
As for Bai Hua, one of the audience, he watched the show with his eyes and mouth wide open from beginning to end with a dazed look on his face.
"Mr. Detective...?"
Just when Bai Hua wanted to complain but didn't know where to start, a familiar girl's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Miss Melanza?"
Bai Hua turned her head and found that the purple-haired Filin girl was wearing the same outfit as Usami Renko (?), sitting in a row behind her.
"It's really Mr. Detective...Because the lights in the arena were too dim, I wasn't sure about it..."
After confirming Bai Hua's identity, Melantha leaped over the seat in the back row, and jumped to Bai Hua's side in front of her like a cat.
"Miss Melanza, how are the perfumes?"
Bai Hua asked Melanza about the follow-up to the lost perfume in the briefcase.
"Well, it's still well preserved, and it's all right—thank you very much, Mr. Detective."
Melantha once again nodded her thanks to Bai Hua.
"You're welcome, you're just using money to do things. Compared with those, you also came to see this inexplicable opera?"
Bai Hua asked Melanza why she appeared in this theater. After all, she didn't look like someone who would be interested in the so-called gang fights.
"Well, I came here because I was very curious about the story of Syracuse. Mr. Detective, what do you think of this stage play? I didn't expect the gangs in Syracuse to have so much love and hatred—— "
"Absolutely not!"
"Eh!?"
Melansha just sighed with emotion, but Bai Hua suddenly said in a serious manner that the things shot in this stage play were all deceitful.
"I'm sure that this stage play is so nonsense. The real gangster family members will be so angry that they will vomit blood. After all, who would allow other families to be filmed as such stupid brothers? ah--"
Bai Hua took out the brochure of the stage play, and at the bottom, she saw the words 'Ms. Sicily' in the line of authorizers.
... If it is said that this method is used to actively discredit other families, then it is understandable.
"Mr. Detective knows Syracuse so well, is he from Syracuse?"
Melantha asked Bai Hua curiously why she knew so much about the Syracuse gang.
"It's not that I understand it, it's just that I instinctively feel that the real situation must not be as idiotic as the performances in the stage play... Besides, I am indeed a Syracusan, but how should I put it... I can only count as half of it."
Bai Hua rubbed his chin and responded uncertainly. On the one hand, he seemed a little inappropriate as a "Syracusan". The only thing that could prove that Bai Hua was related to Syracuse was the Syracus silver coin he was carrying at that time. , according to Texas, this silver coin is likely to be related to a family that was once destroyed and that most people don't even know about.
On the other hand, even Bai Hua herself didn't know why she was so disgusted with this stage play that smeared the Syracuse gangster family, even to the point of being a little angry.
You must know that even if Bai Hua found out that the snacks she secretly hid were found by colleagues and ate them, she would only be upset for a while, but this inexplicable stage play has a clear sense of 'disgust' in it.
—Forget it, I can’t think of it anyway, so I touched it.
Bai Hua thought for a while, then chose to give up in a very simple and rude manner, and opened up.
"In short, I don't plan to watch the next few scenes. Miss Melanza, please enjoy it slowly."
Bai Hua got up and prepared to take advantage of the intermission to leave, she didn't plan to watch this baffling thing any more.
"Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Detective!"
Seeing that Bai Hua was about to leave, Melanza who was on the side also got up from her seat.
"Actually, I also feel that I don't understand..."
"Well, it seems that it's not my problem alone, so let's go have breakfast!"
Bai Hua cheerfully invited Melansha to cook together, while the purple-haired kitten blinked and nodded in agreement with the other party's invitation.
The two left the theater and came to the cafeteria on the side——
"A lot of people!"
As soon as Bai Hua arrived at the door, she was taken aback by the situation in front of her. The cafeteria that provided free breakfast was crowded with people, and the line snaked from the door to the left and right, but there was still a long line.
"Because the cafeteria is open to residents on the 4,2th and [-]nd floors, many tourists will choose to eat here. After all, most people are not interested in stage plays."
Melantha answered thoughtfully at the side.
"Yuan, so it's like this...!? Damn it, I just said why I put on a weird stage play early in the morning. It turns out that I want to stop me from cooking!"
Damn Sicilian lady, I've made a note of this hatred!
Bai Hua, who failed to cook again, even started throwing the pot around because of hunger.
"Actually, most of the VIPs living on the 4th floor will choose to order food...but just let me treat you, Mr. Detective?"
Melantha thought of something on the side, and asked Bai Hua in a low voice if she could treat herself.
"How embarrassing... Suck, the relationship between me and Miss Melanza is not that close... Suck."
Bai Hua wiped her saliva while talking, the smell from the cafeteria made the gray wolf about to go into a runaway state.
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Detective. Normally, before hiring a detective, there will be a process of negotiating the contract with the afternoon tea, isn't it? Just treat it as a supplementary ticket."
Melantha smiled at Bai Hua, and this reason seemed to be quite similar at first glance, so Bai Hua chose to follow Melantha after hesitation.
The two came to a fee-paying restaurant that was not crowded. Unlike the cafeteria that was crowded with people before, the environment here was more elegant, and most of the people dining there were well-dressed nobles and wealthy businessmen.
At the invitation of Melanza, Bai Hua sat beside a small round table, and there were candles and vases on the table, which looked very emotional at first glance.
Of course, for Bai Hua, he prefers that the seasoning and chili oil are placed on it. You can eat it after all, but you can eat it after all, but what do you want to do with the candle, because you are afraid that the scalded meat will not be able to be chewed by the guests, so you can heat it yourself. ?
Although the complaints in his heart are very low, but the movements of Bai Hua's hands are still very elegant. He cut the slice of bread with a table knife, then skillfully dug out a piece of butter and spread it on top, pinched both ends of the slice of bread with his fingers and put it into his mouth , the slightly salty butter mixed with the crispy and soft bread enters the mouth together, and the aroma of fermentation and oil is mixed together, which is extraordinarily delicious.
After all, after arriving in Victoria, I have to pretend to be the boyfriend of Miss Shi Huaiya, an upper-class aristocrat. Bai Hua still has to pretend to be a bit of a dog in advance. Fortunately, Bai Hua is actually pretty good in terms of etiquette. The appearance is generally not revealing.
"Normally, men invite women... I feel so embarrassed."
Bai Hua said a little bit embarrassedly while gnawing on the bread and chickpeas.
"Maybe so, but in fact, I don't like this so-called convention. I prefer to get along with each other in an equal and free way, without so many... frameworks and restrictions."
Melantha responded in a low voice, different from her slightly shy personality, this Ferlin kitten has a relatively great ambition.
"Probably nothing is really equal, but it's nice to have that vision."
Bai Hua sighed softly, the pursuit of so-called 'equality', although it sounds nice to say, but the actual energy and resistance to face, the hardships of which are beyond the comprehension of most people.
"Well...my ability is much worse, but my father said that only when there is a goal will there be motivation."
"That's right, having a goal and working hard toward it is enough, otherwise, if you idle around all day and aimlessly, you might accidentally become a socially dishonest person!"
"Hey, what's the matter with such convincing words from people who have experienced it..."
Melantha blinked her eyes, and for some reason, Mr. Detective's earnest and earnest teachings seemed extraordinarily loud.
After all, it was Melansha's treat, and Bai Hua didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, she simply filled her stomach and began to miss Sister Jing Zhe's breakfast, then the two left the restaurant.
"Speaking of which, what is Mr. Detective's plan for a while? Are you going to deal with other business, or are you planning to go shopping? I saw in the brochure that there will be a concert at noon, and there will be a fountain show in the afternoon. -"
"I'm going to go back to sleep."
