Chapter 112 The Shuriman in Fulgrim Tavern
After studying the file, Li Lin put on the power armor again.
Caitlin also prepared her "Iron Blood" laser sniper rifle, put on a tight-fitting suit that facilitated movement, and put on a breathing filter device.
Afterwards, the two took the elevator down to the middle-level square.
Caitlin said that their main task was not to confront the "murderer" head-on, but only to determine his specific location.
Therefore, Li Lin proposed to find Fandel. He had people familiar with the city who could provide assistance, which could save a lot of trouble.
After a while, two people arrived at Forgan's Tavern.
It was still early and the tavern had just opened for business.
Wei, Bangbao, Clegg and Milo obviously went to play somewhere and were not in the store.
As soon as they entered the door, Fandel's familiar yet surprised voice reached their ears: "Hey, good afternoon, Li Lin, and Miss Gila Mann."
As he spoke, he noticed the girl carrying a weird-looking sniper rifle behind Li Lin, and raised his heavy eyebrows.
"Are you preparing...?"
Li Lin and Caitlin sat on the chairs in front of the bar and explained with a smile: "Investigating a serial murder case."
Fandel wiped his hands with the towel on his shoulder, and then poured two cups of herbal tea for the two of them.
"Are you talking about the alchemy accident that happened in the ditch today?"
"Huh? I didn't expect you to stay in the dark alley every day and still be well-informed." Li Lin said in a teasing tone.
Fandel knew that Li Lin was joking and was not angry.
"What you said, such a big thing has alarmed the law enforcement officer, everyone has already spread the news... But everyone thinks it is just an ordinary alchemy accident."
He paused, then continued with a dark expression: "There was someone from Sevika among the security personnel of that oil tank factory. He said that this was not an ordinary accident, but a deliberate murder, and many people died."
"Yes, the investigation team determined that the murderer was a dwarf who used a crossbow and alchemical venom."
Caitlin reveals parts of the case to Fander.
After hearing this, Fandel's expression became even uglier, "Damn it. With your help, Zaun has stabilized so much, yet it has to cause trouble at this juncture."
"It's okay, the murderer is just one... uh, 'person'." Li Lin waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "With me and Caitlin, we will definitely bring him to justice."
Seeing that Li Lin said that he couldn't get to the point for a long time, Caitlin added for him: "We just need you to provide us with someone who is familiar with the terrain of the trench."
"Oh, this is what you are looking for me about. You should have told me earlier."
Fandel chuckled and turned his eyes to Li Lin again, "Since Huck has been assigned the job of looking after the tidal power station by you, then I will find another person... What do you think of Cord?"
Cord is the bald man who has interacted with Li Lin many times before, and is also one of Fandel's most trusted subordinates.
Li Lin nodded, "Kode, of course... where is he now?"
Fandel looked up at the wall clock on the wall on the side of the tavern, "He will be here in about half an hour. How about you guys sit down for a while and have a cup of herbal tea?"
"What do you think?" Li Lin looked sideways at Caitlin beside him, asking for her opinion.
She also turned to look at the wall clock, "Well, you can wait for half an hour."
Immediately, Caitlin took off her breathing filter, frowned slightly to adjust to the air, and then took a sip of the herbal tea in front of her.
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I almost forgot."
Fandel, who had just turned around to continue clearing the bar, suddenly thought of something again and turned back to look at Li Lin, who had opened his mask and took a sip of tea.
"Recently, a middle-aged Shurima man often comes to my tavern. He is drunk every day. He also asks me if Zaun has armor with better workmanship. He asked me about you...
"But I never disclosed your information to him. He learned this from other people when you wore power armor and wandered around the city every day."
Shuriman?
Looking for someone to make armor?
Li Lin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...
Before he could think too much, he heard the wind chimes at the door of the tavern clinking, making a crisp sound.
Then, a hoarse, dull voice with a heavy accent shouted: "Boss, just the same."
Li Lin, Caitlin and Fandel focused their attention on the door at the same time.
What caught their eyes was a middle-aged man wearing a shabby Zaun-style coat, lined with traditional clothing that was very common in Shurima.
He had short, messy black hair, slightly dark skin, and his eyes flashed with sadness from time to time and were covered with scarlet bloodshot eyes. He looked as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time and was a little depressed.
"This is the person I'm talking about." Fandel reminded Li Lin in a low voice, and then turned around to prepare drinks for the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man didn't seem to notice Li Lin, who was wearing power armor at the bar, or his slightly distracted attention completely ignored these "insignificant" things.
He walked to the corner of the tavern near the door and sat down, then lowered his head and let out a long sigh from time to time.
"Looking at his appearance, he must have lost his beloved family." Caitlin quickly came to a conclusion after just observing, "Furthermore, he wanted to make a set of armor that could prove that his family was probably killed. .”
Or maybe it’s not a human being…
After hearing what she said, Li Lin suddenly felt that his guess was almost accurate.
Just to confirm his conjecture, he turned on [Digital Thinking] and glanced at the corner.
[Name: Kassadin]
[Race: Shuriman]
[Occupation: Caravan Guide (unemployed)]
【……】
Sure enough, it's Kassadin...
Li Lin couldn't help but feel happy.
Before time travel, Kassadin was affectionately called "father-in-law" by League of Legends players.
If Kassadin comes to Zaun to make equipment at this time, it would prove that his daughter Kai'Sa has been swallowed by the void for at least a few years.
While Li Lin was thinking, Caitlin whispered curiously behind him: "But as a Shurima, why did he come to Zaun?"
"Didn't he say he wanted to make armor?"
"For revenge?" Kate sighed softly, "Then if he really wants you to help him make armor, will you agree to it?"
Waiting until Fandel served the man a glass of strong drink, collected the money and returned to the bar.
After thinking for a long time, Li Lin stood up and walked straight to Kassadin in the corner under Caitlin's surprised gaze.
"Li Lin? What are you doing?" She shouted in confusion.
Hearing the familiar name "Li Lin", Kassadin, who had just taken a sip of wine and lowered his head, immediately raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound.
When he saw Li Lin in power armor, a look of shock flashed across Kassadin's face.
"I'll give you water and shade." Li Lin greeted him with Shurima greetings, "Can I sit like this?"
He pointed to the empty seat opposite Kassadin.
"I'll give you water and shade..." Kassadin responded with a hint of surprise, then nodded.
With his consent, Li Lin pulled out a chair and sat in front of him.
"Introduce yourself, my name is Li Lin...I heard from the bar owner that you are looking for me?"
Kai'Sa...hehehe...my Kai'Sa (ˊˋ*)
