Chapter 302 Fisherman and Fish
"Is this it?" Ellie stopped the car in front of an office building and asked.
Worm nodded, pointed to the office building not far away with his chin and said: "They are on the top floor, where they can just see the George Wharf."
As he spoke, he moved his gaze to a thrift store on the street, "That's also their outpost."
Then, Worm moved the rearview mirror until a fast food restaurant appeared on the mirror and said, "That one, too."
The corner of Ai Li's mouth curled up slightly, "It seems that you are well prepared. This parking spot can just see their three sentinel points. If it weren't for the rope hanging around your neck, I would have suspected that you were someone sent from the opposite side. ”
Worm subconsciously touched his neck, but there was nothing on it. He whispered: "I know how to get in from the back door of that office building. But, but you are too..."
Seeing his sibilant expression, Ally said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"You're so dazzling. I think you're going to attract unnecessary attention as soon as you get out of the car. So do you have any magic that can change your appearance. At least, you know, not so shiny."
Ellie let out a long sigh, took out her wand and cast a simple transformation spell on herself. Her clothes and hair changed to varying degrees. Her original light blond hair turned into brown curly hair, and her formal clothes also changed. It became baggy jeans and an oversized T-shirt.
Then she cast a spell on her sunglasses, turning them into a pair of old-fashioned full-frame glasses. After putting on her glasses, the eldest lady looked at herself in the rearview mirror and felt that she was not very satisfied.
So she messed up her hair with both hands, and took out cosmetics from her pocket to put on heavy makeup. With red lips, thick foundation, and seemingly cheap eyeshadow, the capable and elegant woman from before disappeared and was replaced by a street girl.
Finally, Ellie took out a piece of chewing gum and stuffed it into her mouth, and then asked Worm: "How is it? Is it okay?"
She even changed her pronunciation of RP and adopted a country accent from Liverpool to match her identity.
"I...I don't know what to say." Seeing a beautiful woman look like this, Worm couldn't believe it, but thinking of what happened before, he felt relieved.
"There should be an evaluation, right?"
"Good, I mean," Worm said with a smile on his face, "What you need to worry about now is that some blind bastard will come and ask for the price."
This joke did not amuse Ellie. She glanced at Worm again with a cold look, which frightened the latter and quickly added: "Of course, I will keep those bastards out and won't let them get close to you. "
"Ah, that's good. It looks like I have a knight with me today instead of a criminal. That's a real relief. I hope you will keep your word, Mr. Knight."
After saying this, Ellie opened the car door and walked out. She chewed the gum in her mouth vigorously, leaned against the car door, and looked at the pedestrians coming and going with provocative eyes.
Worm looked at the men who were drinking at the used merchandise store. After they got off the car, those men turned their attention here.
"If anyone comes over later, leave it all to me." He whispered to the eldest lady, and then he wanted to light a cigarette out of habit, but when he reached for his pocket, he realized that his cigarette had been confiscated by the police.
Three men stood up and walked towards them. A gentleman sitting outside the fast food restaurant put down his newspaper and walked towards them.
The gentleman stopped in front of Worm, blew out the smoke from his mouth and said, "Mr. Knight, what are you doing here?"
Worm patted his empty pocket and replied: "Come and buy a pack of cigarettes, Simon."
"Really?" The man named Simon took out the cigarette case and handed it over, "Smoke mine. I'm afraid you won't be able to buy cigarettes before I finish asking."
"Damn it, Simon. When did we become so ignorant?" Worm turned his head and looked behind him as he spoke.
Two of the three men stood in front of Ellie, looking at the street girl carefully with their narrow eyes.
"Hey, don't fucking stare at my woman. Otherwise I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Worm warned fiercely.
"Be polite, gentlemen." Simon gestured to the two men, "Outside? You can't say that, Nate. The news about you entering the bureau has spread, we must be careful."
"Bad news always travels fast." Worm smiled dryly, "But haven't I come out now? My woman bailed me out."
After saying that, he glanced at Ellie again, and then whispered to Simon: "This girl is very hot, right? She loves me so much that I can't help but...ah, cough cough cough..."
The suffocating feeling from his neck made Worm cough violently. He choked on his own saliva and dropped the cigarette in his hand.
Simon stood aside, frowning, fearing that he might catch something wrong.
After coughing for a while, Worm finally regained his breath. Ellie turned around and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Worm waved his hands hurriedly. He took a deep breath again, then straightened up and cast an apologetic look at Simon.
Simon took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Worm along with the lighter.
"Those policemen, damn, they were so cruel." Worm said, pointing to his abdomen.
A man next to him spat on the ground and muttered: "May they all go to hell and be beaten by a thousand cuts."
"It seems that they beat you badly." Simon's eyes were suspicious, "But even so, you didn't confess anything?"
Worm heard the meaning of his words and cursed: "Go to hell, Simon. Don't talk to me in a weird way. If I confessed everything, can I still come here with a swagger?"
Before the other party could speak, Worm immediately said in a deep voice: "Damn it, you don't think I'm cooperating with the police?"
"I can't rule out this possibility." Simon said frankly, with a trace of vigilance in his eyes, "You just came out of the police station and went straight here, which is too suspicious."
"I said, come to buy a pack of cigarettes. Of course, come too Buy something else."
"I'm afraid we don't have anything to give you in the short term, Mr. Knight."
"The goods were all taken away by the cops, but I still have to eat, you know what I mean? Simon, I still have some subordinates waiting for me to give them goods, but I can't get anything now."
"Aren't you always trading with the gangs in the East District?"
"Damn, did you hear me? All the goods in the East District were confiscated, and now I have to find another source of goods to appease those customers. Those guys in the East District won't care about a failure, but those stores will. I'm a middleman, you know what middleman means?
"This means I have to please both sides. I took the deposit from the store. If I return all the money, how the hell can I survive in this business?"
Simon was not moved by this. He inadvertently took a step back and said: "If you ask me, man, you should take a break."
"Take a break? What nonsense are you talking about..."
"You are in the limelight now, my friend, no one will do business with you. Take your girl, go to the countryside, or go to the beach, get some rest, and come back later."
"For God's sake, Simon, they will kill me if they can't get the goods. Besides, those idiot police will soon freeze my assets, cars, houses, and everything. What can I take on vacation?"
Worm looked at Ellie again and continued in a low voice: "Do you think beautiful women are easy to support? They are all made of money. You will never know how much it costs to take her to do skin care. It's almost equivalent to two boxes of Bolivars.
"Those damn beauty salons make more money than robbing a bank. You should talk to your boss and ask her to try it. It's much faster than smuggling. Think about it, beauty salon, remember it's a fucking chain of beauty salons."
"Okay, okay, Nate. What do you want?"
"Anything, as long as it can make money."
Simon thought for a moment, threw the cigarette aside, and then said: "I'll give you a few names, you go find them. Wine, cigarettes, cigars, guns... everything you want."
"Hehehe, don't use some small fry to fool me. You know I only do big orders, My hungry customers have big appetites. "
"Don't joke, Mr. Knight." Simon smiled, "You are being watched by the police now. I don't want all the goods to fall into your hands."
"Fuck you, Simon. I didn't think you were so annoying before."
"That's because before, we only talked about women, wine and poker."
"Hehe, that's right." Worm nodded, "Let me talk to Mr. Doll, he will definitely agree."
"I think..."
Before Simon finished speaking, Worm took a few steps forward and came to his side, and the man standing on the side also came over immediately.
"Think about it, Simon. You have taken from me all these years..." Worm lowered his voice and turned his head to glare at the man who tried to come forward.
Simon waved his hand at his men, indicating that it was okay.
"How much have you taken from me over the years, huh? The clothes on your perky-ass wife, and your two sons in prestigious schools. Damn you, if it weren't for me, Simon, could you afford it with your little money every month?
"If I'm done. How will you support your family, huh? Find another person like me? I don't think I can find one, at least not as generous as me. Who can let you live such a comfortable life. "
Simon's mouth twitched, and everyone could see that he was furious. The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Simon lowered his head and asked: "What do you want?"
"I told you, I want to meet Mr. Doll. I know he's here, in the office building opposite, right? My request is simple, I need you to make an exception so that I can go up to meet your boss.
"No, no, no, don't refuse me for now. Think about it, you are just taking me up to meet him. If this thing succeeds, you can still get the benefits. If this thing fails, it won't affect you too much.
"This is your base, I don't bring any weapons. Are you still worried that I will do something out of the ordinary?"
Simon lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Wait here, I'll ask for instructions." After that, he called a subordinate next to him and walked towards the office building together.
When they walked away, Ellie asked impatiently, "So, what's the situation now?"
Worm looked at the two men who stayed and watched them and said, "Don't worry, baby. They will take us to see the important people. I will persuade him to give us the goods we need. When the time comes, I will make money, and you can continue to go to the beauty salon, I promise."
Ellie chewed gum, turned around and rolled her eyes at the two guarding men, "Is it necessary to be so nervous?"
"Ignore them, honey. Come on, let's go get something to drink. It's too hot outside."
After Worm finished speaking, he left the car and walked towards the restaurant. Ellie followed closely behind him. The two men saw them going to the restaurant, but they didn't continue to follow them.
"Is this what you call a back door? Find a man?"
"Why do some words always taste bad when they come out of your mouth?" Worm looked helpless, "It will succeed. If it doesn't succeed, don't we still have a lot of friends?"
Ellie asked the front desk for a caramel milkshake, and then found a seat to sit down. "In addition to the customers, this restaurant should be owned by them, right?"
"Uh-huh. Try to be more casual. I need to get them to let their guard down."
"Let me guess, when we go in later, we will face a bunch of people. So what are you going to ask me to do? Cast a spell and knock them all down?"
"Keep your voice down, madam." Worm reminded, "If you can do that, it will save a lot of trouble. If not, I will make a proposal to them and ask them to take me to see the goods. Our friends will continue to follow Come in. There are trackers placed on the soles of my shoes.”
Ellie frowned and whispered: "I want to remind you, sir. We are not here to investigate ordinary smuggling."
"I know, I know. But everything needs to be done step by step. Even if we go directly to George Wharf now, we can't find anything. You need evidence to arrest, and I am creating opportunities for you.
"Mr. Doll. This guy is responsible for all the smuggling activities of the Old Record Gang. As long as you can catch him. Even if you catch some of his important men, you can ask a lot of things. Waiting and waiting to eliminate a smuggling operation will not affect Old record gang. You know what I mean?
"To put it simply, even if we catch them smuggling people. But those real big fish will not come to the scene in person. They sit in the office, drink champagne, look at the sea outside the window, and make plans on the map, but they will not Implement it yourself.
"Of course, cracking down on a smuggling operation will make the top brass of the Old Record Gang furious, but at most it will only break a few glasses or knock a few pieces of furniture. The end result is that they will intensify the losses from those poor people. Earn it back.”
“You want to catch the big fish.”
"That's right. My ultimate goal is not Mr. Doll or anything else. I want the entire Old Record Gang to disappear."
"But you don't have good enough fishing gear."
"If it was before, I really didn't have one." Worm showed a smile, "But now, I do."
"Don't be too optimistic, sir." The eldest lady understood that Worm was interested in her ability and wanted to destroy the entire Old Record Gang in one fell swoop. But what he didn't know was that the Old Record Gang was not a simple fish.
"Maybe we are the fish." Ellie murmured as she looked at Simon who was walking towards this side.
