Wolf Rat stretched out his right hand with slender fingertips, gently picked up the wine glass and played with it.
Without waiting for Raglan to express his intention, he thought to himself: "Raglan, the leader of the Sharp Ox Pirates, right? Although the incident last night was trivial, I still heard about it, so you want to entrust me with it?" Find the murderer?"
The wolf rat recognized his identity and guessed his intention.
Raglan was not surprised either.
In the intelligence business, how can you survive if you don't have any skills
On the contrary, it was the strength that Wolf Rat showed just now that surprised him.
"yes."
Without saying anything, Raglan took out the money bag and put it on the table.
Wolf Rat picked up the money bag and weighed it, then untied it and took a look inside the bag.
With his years of experience in dealing with money, he can accurately estimate the amount without counting.
"Start work now?"
He put away the money bag with satisfaction and looked at Raglan.
"It's the best."
Raglan nodded vigorously.
The wolf rat smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.
As for Raglan, he never touched the wine brought by the bartender.
The two of them stood up and walked out of the bar one after another.
Soon, Wolf Rat and Raglan came to the blood stains in the alley.
Wolf Rat squatted down and looked at the dried blood, and said: "I heard that he was shot twice, first on the side of the neck where the bullet could penetrate more easily, and then on the perfect spot between the eyebrows. The guy who did this is obviously a professional A ruthless sniper.”
Raglan deadpanned.
He was not in the mood to listen to Wolf Rat's analysis, but due to the opponent's strength, he couldn't push him.
Wolf Rat would not take into account Raglan's mood, and said surreptitiously: "If you want to say which kind of guy is the most difficult to mess with, it is the ruthless guy who shoots you coldly and you don't even have a chance to fight back. But …”
The wolf rat's nose moved and instantly turned into a long and narrow black rat nose.
"It's also thanks to their activity that my business is easy to do."
He raised his nose and sniffed, and various smells turned into information and entered his head.
Pick one out of a thousand, pick ten out of a hundred, pick one out of ten.
After quickly filtering out the scent information he wanted, the wolf rat slowly stood up and looked up to high places.
"Follow up."
He exerted force on the soles of his feet and jumped to the height of the building.
Raglan followed.
It turns out that he is a Devil Fruit user with the animal type Mouse type, so no wonder he specializes in this matter.
In this way, finding the sniper is a sure thing.
The two of them jumped above the building and soon arrived at the spot where Maude had sniped last night.
Wolf Rat glanced at the scene, and the information transformed from the smell instantly materialized into a trajectory that did not exist in reality, extending from here to the distance.
Following the scent trail, the wolf rat headed towards Sol's weapons store.
Raglan followed closely behind Wolf Rat.
Wolf Rat ran towards Thor's weapon shop with a clear goal. When the distance was reduced to within twenty meters, he suddenly stopped.
"found it?"
When Raglan saw this, his eyes were filled with coldness, thinking that the wolf rat had found the target.
Wolf Rat did not answer Raglan's question, but looked down at a location in the alleyway.
The scent trail bifurcated, one pointing in the direction of Sol's weapon shop, and the other pointing to the alleyway extending from Sol's weapon shop to here.
But this was not the reason why the wolf-rat suddenly stopped.
Because even if the trajectory bifurcates, the final destination is still Sol's weapons store, so this bifurcated trajectory will not affect the final search results.
The root of the problem is…
Wolf Rat looked solemnly in the direction of Sol's weapons store, and could vaguely see the corner of the weapons store's entrance.
"Although this smell does not belong to the old man, it certainly has something to do with it."
He thought silently.
Looking at the silent wolf rat, Raglan frowned and asked, "Have you found it yet?"
"Looking for it means finding it."
Wolf Rat looked back at Raglan and said, "However, for the sake of money, I suggest you give up."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's nothing, just a bonus suggestion."
Raglan heard this and said coldly: "I don't need to worry about it anymore. It's your job to lead me to the target."
Wolf Rat shrugged and said nothing more.
He followed the scent trail and led Raglan to the outside of Sol's weapons store.
"The perpetrator is in that store, and it's none of my business after that."
"Wolf Rat, our deal is to find the target, not just point to a random place."
Seeing the wolf-rat pointing at a place and intending to leave it alone, Raglan spoke in a bad tone.
Wolf Rat first looked at the door of the weapons store with fear, and then looked at Raglan with a sneer.
"Okay, the owner of that store is an old man, and the teller is a woman with a scar on her face."
"Which one is the perpetrator?"
"Neither."
Raglan heard this and resisted the urge to draw his knife.
Wolf Rat spread his hands and said, "The perpetrator was neither the old man nor the woman, but there were three people in the store. Do you understand?"
Raglan snorted coldly.
Although it is unclear why Wolf Rat did not directly reveal the identity of the third person, he finally established the target.
But Raglan didn't know that it wasn't that Wolf Rat didn't say anything, but that he knew nothing about the third person.
This weapons store was one of the few places that Wolf Rat didn't dare to touch. If he had known that the perpetrator was from the weapons store, he would have never accepted this business.
But the business has already been completed, so we can only bite the bullet and complete it.
Therefore, Wolf Rat did not even dare to announce the names of Sol and Sunny. He could only use the smell elimination method to find out the existence of the third person in a roundabout way.
In fact, he didn't know when this third person appeared.
But since he is also a member of the weapon shop...
After completing the transaction, the wolf rat returned to the bar without stopping.
Raglan watched the wolf rat leave, and then glanced at the weapon shop with its door ajar.
After thinking for a moment, Raglan turned and left.
That evening.
A customer with a sly eyebrow came to Sol's weapons store.
As soon as he entered the door, he walked towards the only three shelves in the store.
While pretending to examine the weapons on the shelf, he glanced at the three people in the store without leaving any trace.
Dwarf old man.
A girl with a scar.
Quite a handsome boy.
That’s it.
The customer felt confident, so he casually pulled out a second-hand machete with a small cut missing from the third shelf, and it didn't look very good, and then walked to the counter.
"How much?"
"Fifty thousand beli."
Thor didn't even look up.
The man thought that this low-quality knife was only worth 10,000 beli at most, but he never thought it would be the regular price. He immediately cursed the shop, but decided to pay and leave.
After the customer left the store, Saul raised his head and looked at the store door.
"Tsk..."
Chapter 19 Do you want to learn how to shoot with me
Raglan is not arrogant.
Although it was impossible to adopt the friendly advice given by Wolf Rat, the fear shown by Wolf Rat made him realize that there was something unusual about this weapons store.
Therefore, instead of entering the store rashly, he paid a small sum of money to let a pirate who was just waiting to die go in and investigate for him.
As a result, just as Wolf Rat said, there was an old man and a girl with a scar on her face in the store.
In addition, there is a black-haired boy about fifteen or sixteen years old.
In other words, the perpetrator was this young man.
Although the boy's motive for the murder was unclear, it was not something Raglan should consider.
What he has to do is to get this matter done before his pirate group comes back.
If circumstances permit, capture them alive if possible.
Presumably, the captain would be happy to waste his time torturing the assailant.
Quietly leaving the weapons shop, Raglan went to Pub Street.
He wanted to find out the details of this weapons store.
The reason for being so cautious is mainly because of the disguised reminder from the wolf rat.
Otherwise, he would have gone in with a knife to look for trouble.
After all, it was just a weapons store open in an alleyway, unlike those stores open on the street and protected by [rules].
Therefore, even if you cause trouble inside, you don't have to worry about the consequences.
Raglan believed he was not exposed.
However, as early as when he and Wolf Rat came to the residential area, Saul had already "seen" everything.
Including the sly pirate who came in to investigate, naturally he couldn't escape Thor's eyes.
At six o'clock in the evening, the weapon shop closed on time.
"Net profit fifty thousand."
Sunny carefully recorded the day's turnover in the ledger.
As for why it is net profit, Maude can also analyze it.
After taking note of the turnover, Sunny went to the kitchen to prepare dinner while Maud stayed behind to clean up.
As for Thor, it was rare that he didn't sneak to the second floor immediately.
He was still sitting at the counter, his eyes never looking towards Maude.
Maud cleaned the floor, then looked up at Thor and asked, "Do you always... have something to say to me?"
"Oh, you saw it."
Sol took the cigarette dregs out of his pipe.
