Chapter 698 Strange Bar
In an alley in the civilian area of God's Blessed City, Li Huailin followed Bruno and was heading towards the destination, followed by Drummer and Gina. Although there were no other guards, this lineup was enough to handle everything.
Soon the four of them came to a two-story small room. It can be seen that this room should be just an ordinary civilian room. It is estimated that it is temporarily requisitioned by St. Regis and the others. Going up to the second floor, Li Huailin is very excited. Soon I found Regis and Reg squatting by the window.
"Where are people?" Li Huailin asked.
"On the opposite side, Your Excellency the Duke." Reg stood up and pointed to the opposite house.
Li Huailin walked to the window and looked out. The opposite was also a house similar to this one but with only one floor. It looked like a small bar on the outside. There were many people inside, and through the window, Li Huailin could just see See the target person Romerig sitting by the window, and there is obviously a person sitting opposite him, but from this angle, the other person's face cannot be seen, and it can only be seen that it may be a man.
"This Romerig came here early in the morning. It seemed that he was waiting for someone. I asked Bruno to report back. Sure enough, after a short wait, a man came and sat opposite him. It was this man. We've been talking for more than ten minutes now." Reggie here replied.
"Have you seen what this man looks like?" Li Huailin asked.
"I didn't see it clearly, and I didn't know when I entered the bar opposite, so I didn't pay attention at all." St. Regis said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin froze for a moment, then smiled, "What time is it?"
"Oh?" The few people here couldn't keep up with Li Huailin's rhythm. Didn't they just talk about Romerig's question? Why did they suddenly start asking the time, but Reg here still answered immediately. "It's 7:30, what's the matter, Your Excellency the Duke."
"Does anyone think that the opening time of this bar is a little too early?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they suddenly came to their senses.
"Yeah, it was 7:00 in the morning when I followed Romerig, and the bar was already open. Is it an all-night bar?" St. Regis said.
"Where is the owner of this house? Call over and ask." Li Huailin asked.
"It's in the next room, I told them not to come out yet." Reggie left the room after speaking, and soon he came back with two people,
These two look like a couple, both of them are in their thirties or close to their forties, and they know that the other's life is ordinary from the clothes they wear, so they should be full-fledged civilians.
"My lord, please don't kill us." Seeing Li Huailin, the man named Bryce immediately knelt down for Li Huailin. Although the few people who came to their house before Bryce didn't know the identity of the other party, they also knew that the other party was definitely a knight, and now seeing the attitude of Rui Ji and Reg towards Li Huailin, they also knew that Li Huailin was the rightful owner, so he hurriedly said .
"I'm not going to kill you, don't cry and answer my question quietly," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, my lord, what do you need to ask. I will tell you everything." Bryce said immediately, although Li Huailin's tone was not very good. But Bryce felt that this was relatively normal, and it was strange that the nobleman had a good tone towards him.
"You know the bar opposite, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, the Serving Pub," says Bryce over here. "I know, but I've only been there once. That's a weird bar."
"Strange?" Li Huailin asked, "What's strange there?"
"This bar opened half a month ago, but as you have seen, my lord, the location of our place is not very good, and it is not on the side of a big road. It is very strange to open a bar in this place, but even more strange It’s just that the business of the other party is really good. I looked at the bar of the other party and there are basically many people who come to patronize the bar every day, and they are all familiar faces. I think the drinks in this store may be very good, so there are more repeat customers. , so I went to try it, and it turned out...it was so bad to drink, that's fine, what's even more exaggerated is...that..."
"Something more exaggerated?" Li Huailin asked, "Keep talking."
"That... is that when I was drinking, I felt that everyone inside seemed to be looking at me. The atmosphere felt very strange, so I came back directly after drinking a drink, and I haven't been there since then." Bryce Said.
"Oh? It's really interesting." Li Huailin said, "Do you know the owner of this bar?"
"I have met a few times, but I have only said hello a few times, but I have never spoken. The other party does not seem to be a very communicative person. You see, our house is opposite the other party's store, and the other party did not come to say hello to us when they opened. something," Bryce said.
"Then the bar opposite has always been open so early?" Li Huailin asked.
"That's right, it's also very strange to say. Aren't ordinary bars open from noon until late at night? This store is different. It opens early in the morning and closes early in the evening, so there has never been a bar." Affect us." Bryce said here.
"Well, one last question." Li Huailin said, "Did this bar open yesterday?"
"Yesterday?" Bryce thought about it for a while.
"No, my lord." The woman next to me suddenly replied, "My lord, they closed the door yesterday, I remembered."
"Really? Thank you both for your cooperation." Li Huailin waved his hand, "Go to the next room and wait, the house will be returned to you in a while."
"Okay, my lord, thank you, thank you." Bryce and his wife quickly went out while bowing and nodding.
"My lord, this is too strange." Seeing the two of them going out, Reg immediately said, "In this kind of place, there are usually regular customers, and the business hours are so strange. something wrong."
"Nonsense, everyone can see that there is a problem, so the problem will come." Li Huailin suddenly raised a finger and said, "Which one is better at learning excavator technology?"
"Huh?" All the people present were stunned. What is the situation? Why did they suddenly discuss the issue of excavators in the middle of talking, and what is an excavator after all?
"Ahem...Sorry, I just said it was a crooked building." Seeing a group of people looking at him in confusion, Li Huailin said, "The problem is what's wrong with this bar... ..."
"My lord, yesterday I heard that you were attacked by more than 20 people in black on the way to the competition meeting, and at the same time, this bar was closed yesterday..." Gina here directly ignored Li Huailin's previous cute behavior, very He said calmly, "Do you think it will be..."
"Try it and you will know." Li Huailin said, "The Royal Knights are probably still looking for the dozen or so assassins who escaped yesterday, Reg, go to the palace and ask a group of people to come here and surround the bar first. Say it again."
"Yes, my lord." Reg on the side nodded and went out immediately.
Li Huailin also asked these assassins questions when he returned to the palace last night. At that time, more than a dozen people who assassinated him ran away. The gate is tightly guarded, and it is impossible to rush out, which means that this group of people should be hiding in the city now, and the bar in front is very suspicious.
After waiting for a while in the hut, soon a burst of footsteps came from a distance, and Li Huailin looked outside, and a whole team of knights wearing the armor of the Royal Knights was rushing towards them, and At this time, Li at the bar probably also noticed this situation, and Romerig, who had been sitting and chatting with others, had already stood up.
"The Royal Knights are chasing down the assassins. All personnel should immediately go back to their residences and wait for inspection. Anyone who is suspicious will be killed!" The leading knight here is Edra, the deputy leader who protected Li Huailin yesterday, and let everyone around come out with a loud roar What's going on, the civilians all retreated into their houses. If anyone dared to stand on the road at this time, the knights would stab them to death with a sword without any discussion.
"Lord Edra, this way." Reg, who led the way, immediately pointed to the dining bar.
"Wrap up!" Edra waved her hand and said to the knights behind her.
Soon, the knight squad here started to operate, and began to surround the bar from front to back, and Li Huailin also came out of the opposite house.
"My lord duke." Seeing Li Huailin appearing, Edra immediately came up to say hello, "Your Highness told me to fully cooperate with you. Is this the hiding place of the assassins?"
"Probably." Li Huailin said.
"Then what should we do now, should we just rush in?" Aidela asked here.
"I still have a lot of questions to ask them. I have to keep a few alive. Of course, it would be best if they voluntarily surrendered." Li Huailin said, "Why don't you knock on the door first and see if we can resolve it peacefully? "
There was a loud "boom", just after Li Huailin finished speaking, the window next to the shop shattered open, and several figures jumped out of the window. At the same time, as soon as the door of the shop opened, several people charged out.
"Really, I haven't finished talking yet." Li Huailin raised his forehead, "Bruno, Delamo blocked the person at the window on the left... Wait... Wait... Both of you don't act yet."
As soon as Li Huailin reached out his hand, he stopped the two who were about to rush out.
"What's the matter, my lord?" The two asked at the same time.
"There is no way to let important people rush to the vanguard. These people are attracting our attention. You two go around to the right to see what big fish you can catch." Li Huailin said. (To be continued..)
