The atmosphere in the bar was very lively. After the second Prohibition, many unlicensed small bars in Alto were completely extinct, which made the owners of licensed bars wake up laughing in the middle of the night. The huge profits generated every day give these people the illusion that they are the richest people in the city. Even if they are not now, they will be after a while.
Dave walked to the bar and ordered a glass of hazelnut-flavored wine. Although it was said to be wine, he tasted like water from the glass of wine. He looked at the bartender with strange eyes and shook the wine glass in his hand, "How much water is added to this thing? Or how much wine did you add to this glass of water?"
The bartender was not embarrassed at all by being exposed. This kind of thing happens often, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. In the words of the bartender, if you like it, drink it, and if you don't, get away.
Of course, he wouldn't be so direct. He just raised his eyes and glanced at Dave before continuing with the work at hand, "Brother, don't you know that the second Prohibition strictly stipulated that all high-alcohol alcohol was prohibited?"
"So you mixed it with water?" Dave's eyes widened. It was the first time he had heard that he could make such a lie so confidently and even quoted the law. "Why don't you give me something real to drink?"
In fact, even the Contraband Investigation Bureau has no good way to distinguish the alcohol content in the shortest time. They used a very popular method. When the wine cannot be ignited directly and does not burn the throat, it is not considered high alcohol. This gives the bar a lot of room for maneuver.
The bartender took another three-ounce glass and put it on the table, then took out a bottle of wine from under the counter and filled it up for him. "This glass of wine costs four yuan. This time it's not water."
Dave took out the money and slapped it on the bar, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. This time he was very satisfied, at least he couldn't taste the water.
In fact, this kind of wine with 20 to 30 degrees of alcohol is the easiest to make people drunk, because there is nothing strange when drinking, and by the time you notice it, you have already drunk too much.
It was already past midnight when he came out of the bar. Dave was shaking his head, lowering his head slightly, and rolled his eyes upwards to look ahead. It seemed that even turning his eyes was a difficult thing for him. Instead, turn your head to be simpler.
There are also taxis in Orodo at night, especially in front of the bar. With several bars starting to stay open all night, there are always some drunk people going home who become a nuisance. Bars will not let customers get drunk in the bar. Even if the other party's identity may be unusual, they will throw them out. This involves another issue. All entertainment business venues have a prescribed number of people limits. Only one person inside can come out before a new guest can enter.
Although these bars have expanded their business areas and taken corresponding fire prevention measures, they still cannot solve the problem of too many customers. Every night, there will be a long queue at the door of the bar. These are all moving bills!
So the customers who were thrown out became the "treasures" of taxi drivers. These people don't care or care how much it costs to take a taxi. Many drivers like to queue in front of the bar at night. As long as they attract a customer, they will make money. .
After getting in the car, the drunken Dave reported a place name, and the taxi started slowly. Neither the driver nor Dave in the car noticed that when they passed by the nearest intersection, the taxi turned off. The truck with its headlights suddenly started moving and followed closely behind them.
"Guest, the street light on the road ahead is broken. Is it okay to take the side road?" the taxi driver asked, and Dave subconsciously agreed.
He is now too confused to understand the meaning of a sentence. It's good enough to understand it. The taxi driver showed a successful smile, and this was also the reason why they dared to take the detour, because the passenger himself agreed. He turned the steering wheel and drove towards the outskirts of the city. When it was almost time to come back, he would make a lot of money.
As the taxi driver was following his usual habit of circling an area, suddenly two bright headlights tore through the darkness, leaving him briefly blind. The car accident happened, and the surrounding windows with lights out quickly lit up. Some people poked their heads out of their homes with sticks in their hands. They saw a young man who was so panicked that he didn't know what to do and was spinning around the scene of the car accident.
"Who will save them? God, I'm in trouble!" The young driver was sweating profusely. Soon the people living around worked together to remove the taxi driver and Dave in the back seat from the deformed car. Drag out.
The taxi driver was already dead. Although Dave was still breathing, the way he kept vomiting blood also indicated that he would not live long. Soon the ambulance and police car arrived at the scene. The doctor examined the two injured people and shook his head. There was no need for any resuscitation.
The young driver was taken away by the police on the spot, and the two vehicles were towed back to a special parking area for accident vehicles.
Such a traffic accident did not attract much attention. In such a big city, accidents are bound to happen, right? Either there was a car accident here, or there was a robbery there. These can only be used as chatting topics in people's daily lives, and will not make people study and think.
It was not until five days later that Mr. Bain told Alyssa the news, and Alyssa stood stunned on the spot. She immediately rushed upstairs to her room, picked up the phone and dialed Dulin's number.
"Hello, this is Dulin Manor, Anya." The person who answered the phone was a woman. Her voice was nice and soft, and she was also very young.
At this time, Alyssa could no longer care about so much, and she directly asked: "Is Dulin here?"
There was silence on the other side for about five or six seconds before a voice came out, "I'm very sorry. Mr. Dulin went to the construction site early in the morning and will not come back until evening. If you have anything, you can let me tell you, or you can wait until the evening. dial number."
Alyssa hung up the phone. She was angry, sad, and scared!
Sure enough, that bastard's words cannot be trusted, but he promised that he would not do anything to Dave, and he actually lied. In fact, Alyssa had a premonition when she came back that Du Lin was definitely going to do something, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly!
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room, Alyssa came back to her senses, she opened the door, and Mr. Bain was standing outside the door.
"Is it convenient to come in?" Mr. Bain asked, Alyssa nodded, and then he walked into his daughter's room. Sitting on a chair and looking at the decorations in the room, this was the first time he entered this room after Alyssa returned home. He was a little curious, "You shouldn't go upstairs in a panic like you did just now. If you fall down the stairs... , since you have decided to give birth to this child, you should protect him as much as possible and not bring any danger to him. "
Alyssa was sulking and silent, which made Mr. Bain think that Dave's death had caused Alyssa to fall into grief. He stood up and walked to Alyssa, hugged her gently and kissed her. On her forehead, "There are always things in this world that we can't do anything about. Everyone needs to face this moment, no one is exception. I know you may be sad in your heart, and I am equally sad, but we always have to Just keep on living, right?”
He gave up two steps, let go of Alyssa, and looked directly into her eyes, "Believe me, my child, Dave has gone to heaven. In heaven, he will not want you to be sad because of this. You are not suitable now." Violent mood swings are not good for children." He sighed, "Look, I have a stupid mouth and can't say anything suitable for comforting people, but I hope you won't be too sad. "
Alyssa forced out a smile, not because of sadness, but because of anger! That shameless, despicable bastard had lied to her, and this was already the second time! What made her even more angry was that she naively believed it, which was so stupid!
"I'm fine, father, really, look at my eyes, they are not red or crying." Alyssa opened her eyelids to prove that she was not sad, but this behavior made Mr. Bain think that she was Holding back the pain.
"Don't worry, this case is a traffic case and will be tried by me personally. I will definitely make that bastard pay the price!" Mr. Bain suddenly burst out with an aura that belonged to the director of the Transportation Bureau.
Alyssa suddenly realized something, and there was some confusion on her face, "Wait, you mean you caught the driver?"
Mr. Bain nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, he didn't run away. In fact, you can't blame that guy entirely. Who would have thought that a taxi would appear on the outskirts of the city in the middle of the night?"
"Isn't this a murder?" Alyssa felt that her mind was a little confused. At this time, she was also confused. Was this done by Du Lin, or was it really just a traffic accident in Yichang
Mr. Bain repeated the whole thing a little puzzled. There were no street lights in that area on the outskirts of the city and it was very dark. Many taxi drivers liked to drive around there and rip off customers. This was not a one-time or two-time thing. It was precisely because of the darkness and the fact that it was midnight that both the taxi driver and the truck driver were very tired, so neither party realized that there would be cars passing by at this time, so they collided hard.
This was just a simple traffic accident. The truck driver did not leave the scene and is currently in the custody of the police station. After the Transportation Bureau gives its ruling, the court will ultimately determine the sentence with reference to the Transportation Bureau's opinions.
Mr. Bain planned to give that boy a hard blow so that he could have a better memory.
