The car entered the bumpy dirt road, and Wan Qianqian was driving fast. Wen Yuen felt that the pineapple bun she ate the day before was about to be shaken out. For the sake of her own safety, she hurriedly grabbed the handle next to her.
"I've been investigating Sakai Sakura's identity for the past few days, but there's still no news at all."
Wan Qianqian, who was driving, cast a surprised look at her. "You went to investigate? Why didn't you tell me? I already knew. "
She freed one hand to take her rucksack from the back and threw it directly on Wen Yuen's lap. The latter looked down at the bag. "With your current driving speed, even if you give me the information, I won't dare to look at it now!"
"Sakai Sakura is Sakai Masao's cousin. But as the saying goes, those who are closer to each other are closer to each other. The two don't have much blood relationship, but they both live in the same Japanese mafia family called the Sakai family. Their family is now in charge of the Inada Clan."
Wen Yuen recalled the cute and kind art teacher described by the other party and stammered, "Miss Koizumi is … is she a mafia boss?"
"I don't know, but Sakai Sakura's identity is an independent designer. She has a little foundation in art, so it's more than enough for her to be a teacher. According to Gu Tanfeng's investigation, she had a big fight with her family in February this year. Since then, she disappeared. In April, she came to the town under the name Koizumi Keiko. "
"Ah, I see." With such a high status in both the underworld and the underworld, Wen Yuen thought that it was no wonder he couldn't find any information.
"I don't know much about the big families in Japan, but even if she quarreled with her family, there must be a reason. Not to mention someone like her, it's even more impossible for her to steal things from her family for no reason. Even Sakai Masao came out personally to chase her."
"That's why we are investigating." Otherwise, why would they drive to this lousy road?
"One last question, are you crazy? Is it necessary to drive so fast? "
Wan Qianqian also replied very loudly, "It's necessary! Because I have to go back to pick up the kids from school at 4: 30! "
The car drove on the extremely muddy road for a long time. In the end, Wen Yuen started to doubt her life. When she got out of the car, she squatted by the roadside and vomited for a long time. They didn't leave until the security guards of St. Baillie Hotel came to drive them away, saying that it was a pollution ring.
To the south of Saint-Baillie was a primeval forest, and further ahead was a sports field. There was a decent hotel outside the field.
Gu Tanfeng told her that this was the passageway to the underground casino. All the veterans who knew the inside story would order some specific dishes. After the waiter knew about it, he would invite them to a private room, and then bring them into the underground casino. Remember not to make any noise down there, and don't cause any trouble.
Gu Tanfeng knew his wife's temper. He only told her about it after he saw Wan Qianqian raise her hand and swear.
After entering the restaurant, Wen Yuen asked in a low voice, "It's still daytime. Will there be anyone in the underground casino?"
"Don't worry, this place is open 24 hours."
"Nice to meet you, ladies. What would you like to order?"
Wan Qianqian pretended to look at the menu and threw it aside randomly, "French baked snails, foie gras with caviar, and screwdriver beer."
The waiter who was writing down the dishes suddenly stopped writing. He raised his head and looked at the two of them deeply. He lowered his head and said, "Ladies, these dishes are only available in the private room. Could you please follow me to the private room?"
Wen Yuen suppressed her joy and calmly picked up her bag. Wan Qianqian also nodded with a smile, "Thank you."
The waiter led them directly to an elevator. There was a button on the elevator that led to the first floor. When they took the elevator, they saw an old archive room. The people in front of them didn't seem to be aware that they had taken the wrong way at all. They continued to go forward until they reached the room at the end of the corridor. After pushing open the old door, they didn't expect that there was an elevator inside. The waiter made a "please" gesture and said, "Just take the elevator and go straight down. Please help yourselves, ladies."
It was the first time for the two good girls to appear in such a dark and violent place as the underground casino. When they opened the door, they were slightly trembling.
However, the scene inside was different from what they had imagined. It was not dirty, messy, smoky, or a lot of shirtless men. Instead, it was a magnificent hall with crystal ceilings, smooth marble floors, and elegant symphony music. The air was mixed with the smell of roses and champagne, which made people feel intoxicated.
Wan Qianqian stood at the door and was slightly stunned. It didn't look like a place full of filth, but more like a high-class, well-dressed banquet.
Tables were arranged neatly in the hall, and there was a waiter standing in front of each table. They were playing with poker cards or dice agilely. Everyone who came and went was dressed in noble gowns and suits. They were elegant and polite, and they talked to each other with smiles on their faces and soft voices.
However, they looked a little special because they were dressed in simple clothes. Wen Yuen looked at everything in front of her, and there was only one thought in her mind. It was not a wasted trip. It was an eye-opener!
Wan Qianqian shook her head to keep herself awake. She pulled the person beside her and said, "Let's get down to business!"
The two of them leaned against the wall and tried to look as low-key as possible. They went straight to the front desk, "Excuse me …"
"Who are you? I've never seen you before! "
The confident words of the girl at the front desk made them a little flustered. Wan Qianqian pinched Wen Yuen hard, telling her not to drop the ball at this critical moment. "We're Angela's friends. We're here to collect money from her. Hurry up and ask her to come out, or I'll call the police!"
The girl looked at them and cursed under her breath as she walked to the back. "This Angela really knows how to make trouble for me! She's always borrowing money. Sooner or later, she'll be sold! "
Not long after the incident, a girl appeared from the backstage studio of the casino. She was a black girl who was no more than 20 years old, wearing a leather jacket and chewing gum. She looked at Wan Qianqian and Wen Yuen casually and said, "I don't think I owe you money!"
In order not to attract other people's attention, Wan Qianqian and Wen Yuen stood on either side of her, holding her shoulders forcefully as they walked down the corridor.
She waved the eight yuan fake ID she bought from a street stall in front of the girl and put on a poker face. "Hello, we're investigators from the United Nations. We're investigating a very important matter now, and we hope that you can cooperate actively."
"Huh?!" Probably because the name of the United Nations was too famous, Angela was completely dumbfounded.
Wen Yuen cooperatively took out a stack of cash from her purse and stuffed it into the girl's arms. "If you cooperate with our investigation, this money is yours."
It was true that money could make even the devil push the millstone. After seeing the money, the girl's eyes turned green. "I'll definitely cooperate. Just tell me directly."
"Do you know Cook?"
"Yes, we're barely friends, but he died a few days ago."
Wan Qianqian looked at her nonchalant face in surprise. "You don't seem to care, and you're not sad?"
"We're barely friends. Besides, Miss Investigator doesn't know where we live. It's a slum, after all. It's normal for a few people to die here! If I'm sad every day, I'll definitely die of exhaustion. "
The two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say. With this attitude, the girl had seen countless deaths.
"Then how do you think he died?"
"Probably because he couldn't pay his gambling debts and was killed by his enemies. I'm not too sure myself."
Angela probably felt that her attitude was wrong. She hugged the money in her arms tightly and said seriously again, "I really don't know about this."
She waved her hand to indicate that there was no problem. "Okay, let's continue with the next question. Do you know Itsuki Fuuma? He's from Japan. "
"Yes, we see each other all the time, so we're familiar with each other. He's also my mother's patient and our family's benefactor."
Wen Yuen was very confused by this description. She further confirmed, "May I ask who he is?"
"He's a doctor, and he lives in the slums. All the people who have committed crimes are there." As Angela spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and quickly wrote an address on it.
However, when she handed it to them, she was a little hesitant. "What are you going to do to him?"
Seeing how worried the girl was, Wen Yuen comforted her, "Don't worry, we're just asking him some questions. Just like you, we won't do anything to him."
Hearing this, Angela quickly relaxed and handed the address to them. "He's really a good person. He's saved many people."
"We'll investigate carefully. Thank you."
After getting the address, Wan Qianqian didn't want to stay in this place for another minute. She dragged Wen Yuen and left directly.
After walking out of the restaurant and stepping on the cement road, she finally felt real. Beside her, Wen Yuen checked the address. "This place isn't far from here. We'll drive straight from there until we reach the fork and turn left. Do you want to go take a look now?"
She got closer to the address and asked suspiciously, "That's not right. How do you know this place?"
"Hehe, Lin Chenxi and I lived in St. Baillie before. Did you forget? I thought this place was a garbage dump and even threw rubbish there. I really didn't know that it was a slum."
She looked at her hand. There was still some time before the children finished school. Plus, the truth was right in front of them.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go take a look! We have to grasp this rare opportunity. "
