Chapter 29 (1/2)
”I'm very sorry, Mrs. lily.”
Joe stood on the steps at the door of Lily's house and bowed deeply to Mrs. lily.
”I'm really sorry, Mrs. lily. Everything is just a misunderstanding.”
”I'll make up for it, Mrs. lily.”
”I'll tell the boatswains of the rose chamber of commerce that I'll let my brothers visit you more in the future. Please don't worry, Mrs. lily.”
Joe turned awkwardly and ran out of the yard of Lily's house.
Mrs. Lily stood at the door, looked up at the sky, rolled her eyes, and spread out her hands. She wanted to cry without tears, and her life had completely lost its luster. She has always been known for her elegance and generosity. She has been so ugly in front of Joe. If she didn't live enough, she would have the impulse to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.
To her chagrin, Joe shot out the crystal chandelier in the hall on the first floor of Lily's house.
Young master Qiao of the magnificent family couldn't find a gold mark!
Mrs. lily, I have to go to the chamber of Commerce headquarters of rose chamber of Commerce of Rittal's house to ask for compensation!
Mrs. Lily bit her teeth and stomped hysterically: ”prepare the car, help me change clothes, and then go to the rose chamber of Commerce. Even if he is a noble young master Qiao, he can't pay back his debts? ”
”Now, now, now Take advantage of the noble young master Qiao still remembers this account, hurry to get the money back
A group of Rittal's guards, with a strange smile, followed Joe out of Lily's house.
Just now, Mrs. Lily made a fool of herself in public. A group of girls in Lily's house were frightened by the noise and ran around in panic. Joe was angry and ordered the guards to stop the girls who were screaming with fear.
These guys, however, have taken advantage of a lot of money!
”Hey, wise head, where are we going now?” Billy, who also took a lot of money, was elated and had a big belly. The oak baton was turning in his hand, making a ”whirring” sound.
Joe took out a wolf tooth pendant and frowned at the thin silver ring at the bottom of the wolf tooth.
The purity of the silver ring is very poor, and the manufacturing process is extremely poor. The fine silver ring is pitted and full of dirt. Because of the oxidation, the silver ring has turned black, and several crooked and twisted runes are engraved on it.
This is the silver extracted from silver ore by the nomadic tribes of Highlanders.
Wolf is a totem worshipped by highlanders.
Wearing a wolf tooth Pendant with him is not only a prayer for luck and courage, but also a return to the legendary highland wolf God after his death.
”Such a wolf's Tooth Pendant, together with such a small amount of inferior silver, dare to take it out to pay for three gold marks?”
Joe took the black cotton thread on the pendant and left it to Billy for safekeeping.
Joe had a deeper understanding of the character of the Highlanders. In addition to a pile of crumpled and smelly banknotes, the only thing these highlanders left behind at Lilly's house was the toothed pendant.
When the money was not enough to pay the bill, the Highlanders forced Mrs. lily to accept the wolf tooth and mortgaged three gold marks with it!
”Mrs. lily is right. She lost money. Those highlanders have done a good job. They have done a good job in this business
Joe curled his mouth and sneered.
Billy stood on the moral high ground with his belly up, and looked down on these highlanders crazily: ”isn't it? Our brothers, take advantage of wolf, fox, snake But we never collect money from these girls. ”
He waved the baton hard, and Billy spat on the ground: ”even these girls have to rely on their hard money. Ah, bah, has the moral standard of Highlanders been corrupted to this extent?”
A man in a cape and a cap whistled to Joe across the road.
Joe looked up and laughed. He waved to the man and pointed to Lily's house behind his back.
The man looked left and right, then crossed the road with men in plain clothes and bulging waists and ran to Joe. He took out his cigarette case and handed Joe a cigarette, while Billy stepped back two steps wisely.
The visitor is Alan Abbey, a first-class police officer of port TURUN police department, a powerful dogleg of director Stein, one of the senior agents of port Tulun police, and a full member of the special investigation team. Billy knew very well that he was not entitled to share captain Allen's cigarette.
Joe lit a fire for Lieutenant Allen and a cigarette for himself. They stood on the sidewalk, leaning against the fence of Lily's yard, looking at the road with few people and cars in front of them, and puffing.
”Highlanders, I found a trace of them.” Joe points to Billy triumphantly. Billy quickly takes out the wolf tooth pendant and hands it to captain Allen.
”Wow Damn it Captain Allen patted Joe on the arm and made no secret of his surprise: ”great mu, how did you do it? From last night till now, my men have investigated hundreds of brothels near the dock. Joe, how did you make a hit? ”Joe shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to show his face. The manager's Sparrow Gang said, ”I have my channel, Lieutenant Allen.”
