After reading all the missing cases, Varina and Hugh discussed a few words.
They quickly reached a consensus, and they all felt that Cruz on Green Road was the most suitable target to pursue.
Judging from the available information, Cruz was probably sold to the underground slave trading market by the casino to offset the gambling money he owed.
This ending happened to be in line with Varina's plan.
They only need to investigate a little to confirm this guess and get the corresponding evidence.
With this kind of evidence pointing to the underground slave market, and the fact that Varina had indeed been to the Boiling Blood Bar, the connection between the two would not be so abrupt.
At this point, the tracing commission is over.
After all, under normal circumstances, any bounty hunter or detective would wisely choose to stop when their investigation touches that market.
With the discussion of Varina and Hugh, and with the help of the Cruz disappearance case, the entire misdirection plan was completed.
All that's left is execution.
Recess is responsible for "investigating" Varina's visit to the Boiling Blood Tavern the night before his disappearance, while Varina is responsible for investigating the casino at the Boiling Blood Tavern.
After the discussion, they ended the slightly longer dinner and went their separate ways.
…
At ten o'clock in the evening, Varina came to the Boiling Blood Bar on Green Road alone.
Instead of blindly looking for someone to interrogate, he first went through the "VIP passage" and once again came to the flea market in the bar loft.
Different from the nervous state when he came the first time, this time he walked around the market calmly.
Judging from the pricing, there should not be any main ingredients for potions among the items traded here. Most of the items on sale are spiritual materials that are easy to collect and process.
I don’t know if it really does not involve the transaction of potion main ingredients, or if there are other trading rules.
Varina came to the cloaked man with the standard contract beside him and said softly: "Dark Brotherhood."
"What are you talking about?" the other party asked with some vigilance.
This has no reason for the other party not to be nervous. After all, such a contact point is mainly for customers, but it does not have the function of contacting organizational members, so there is no corresponding code.
"Ketra Law Firm." Warina said the second sentence softly.
Through these two sentences, the cloaked man was convinced of Varina's identity.
He scanned the whole place briefly before saying, "You should know that no matter what you want to do, it's useless to come to me."
"I just want to ask a few questions," Varina smiled, "related to the Boiling Blood Bar down there."
"Can you answer that?"
The cloaked man replied coldly: "Ask first."
Varina thought for a moment and decided to start with a simple question: "I want to know who protects the casino downstairs, and which gang are those thugs from?"
"The Blood Bottle Gang."
Um? I didn't expect that this place is the territory of the Blood Bottle Gang. I wonder if the death of the old Viscount will have any impact on this gang?
After thinking about it for a few times, he asked:
"If I want to find the gambler they seized and took away, where should I go?"
"Go to the mine, the factory, anyway, not here." The cloaked man sneered.
Warina, who was under the cloak, frowned, stepped forward, grabbed the back of the chair next to the cloaked man, squeezed one corner with force, and threatened in a cold voice: "You have one more chance to answer."
The cloaked man in charge of the connection in front of him was just an ordinary person who was frightened by Varina's power.
He spoke again, with a big change in tone and content.
"They will lock those gamblers in the basement, and those who cannot pay the ransom will be taken away. The final end will definitely be to become slaves."
With the idea of giving it a try, Varina asked the last question: "Do you know where the entrance to the basement is?"
"It should be behind the casino area," the cloaked man replied, "I definitely don't know where it is."
Varina nodded, turned around and left the attic without asking any more questions.
He walked out of the bar, avoiding the scattered pedestrians on the street, and jumped onto the roof of a nearby bungalow.
Then, using his light and agile steps, he quietly passed through several houses and jumped to a rooftop behind the Boiling Blood Bar.
There were too many people in the tavern, and it was difficult for him to enter the back of the casino through the normal passage, so he had to try to take a detour from the roof.
The results were disappointing.
The back area of the tavern is a complete wall, not even a window.
Or maybe it used to be, but now it's sealed.
Varina had no choice but to come down from the roof and re-enter the bar to look for opportunities.
Continuing deeper from the chip exchange bar, you reach the casino area.
There is a hall in the middle with several large gaming tables, offering games such as roulette and points, and it is crowded with people.
On both sides of the hall are some separate rooms designed for a small number of people to play, usually playing card games such as Texas Hold'em.
Varina pretended to be a curious novice gambler and shuttled between several large gambling tables surrounded by a large number of gamblers. At the same time, he used hidden eyes to look at the double-door passage that was forbidden to outsiders.
There are two goons guarding the place, and gamblers will be warned if they get closer.
"There are actually two people. It's really troublesome."
Varina looked around and found a small patch of shadow that could be exploited.
It's not far from the passage. As long as you give him a little gap, he can rush in from the passage and hide in the shadows on the other side.
But the difficulty is that there are two guards.
If there is only one, he can also connect the guard to the object to create an artificial gap, but there is nothing he can do with two.
After waiting and observing for a long time, Varina failed to wait for a good opportunity, but thought of a solution.
He passed through the blind spot of the guard's sight, hid in the small shadow in advance, and then moved to the best position to wait for the opportunity.
Soon after.
A gambler was having bad luck and decided to change his game.
When he was halfway there, his head suddenly went blank and he temporarily lost his consciousness. His body continued to move forward in the previous direction, and soon reached the guard's warning range.
"Hey, stop, don't come over!" One of the guards shouted to stop.
But it was useless, the gambler continued to approach as if he was sleepwalking.
The guard who shouted to stop took two steps forward and kicked out the approaching gambler.
The gambler woke up when he landed and had no idea why he had walked into the restricted area in a daze and received a kick in vain.
No one noticed that when the guard kicked someone, the other guard's head went blank and he was distracted for less than a second.
At that second, Varina's body balled up into a ball, quickly passing by the guard like a ball and rushing into the shadows on the other side of the passage.
