Night enveloped Baishi City, and Richard shuttled quickly through Baishi City.
After a while, we arrived at a remote area in the city. This was a shanty town, or a slum.
Obviously, no matter which city it is, there are homes for the rich and homes for the poor - people of all kinds and identities will find ways to find a place to accommodate themselves.
But Richard didn't understand why Alex had to live here. Depending on the other party's abilities, they can definitely move to a better place.
With this thought in mind, Richard approached one of the few wooden buildings in the shantytown, stepped on the dilapidated wooden stairs that circled outside the building, and walked up to the third floor.
The door to the room on the third floor was not closed at all, just ajar. Richard pushed it open gently and walked in.
Entering Alex's house, Richard found that there were many candles burning in the living room of the house, the lights were bright, and incense was burning at the same time, exuding a faint fragrance. In the middle of the living room, there is an old round table. The round table is filled with food that arouses appetite:
Strong smoked duck, tender and juicy marinated chicken, fragrant grilled steak, golden fried eggs, stewed fish with green vegetable leaves, toasted brown and crispy fresh bread, fresh cheese, rich flavor Broth, cooked beans…
Everything was as sumptuous as a noble dinner. It was hard to imagine that Alex could eat so much by himself, but considering Alex's body shape, it was understandable.
Richard glanced around and found no Alex's voice in the living room. The whole house was quiet, and he frowned slightly.
He didn't think Alex was really killed by Gutas, otherwise there was no way to explain the steaming food in the living room. However, even if he was not killed by Gutas, some other accidents happened to Alex, which he did not want to see.
So…
Just as Richard was thinking, he heard the sound of water suddenly coming from the small room next to the living room.
With a flash of eyes, Richard walked over.
The door creaked open, and Richard saw the scene inside the small room.
I saw a huge bathtub placed in the middle of the small room. It was mostly filled with warm water. A fat and fat man was soaking in it, like a pile of white fat.
He stretched out his two hands and rubbed the dirt on the surface of his body with an intoxicated look on his face. He was still humming an unknown tune in a low voice. He was obviously in a very happy mood. If the other party is not Alex, who else could it be
Seeing Alex taking a comfortable bath, Richard knew that what Gutas said before was obviously to get him away and gain a chance to escape. I didn't pay much attention to this, but I was thinking that since I'm here, I might as well solve some of Alex's minor problems.
…
For Alex, he was taking a comfortable bath when he saw the door open. In the thick white steam, he didn't see clearly who came in. But she didn't panic, but said loudly: "Mrs. Amanda, is that you? Don't worry, I'll be right away. By the way, do you want to wash... wash... ga!"
Alex's words were stuck in his throat before he finished speaking. He looked at Richard's figure, swallowed his saliva, and then subconsciously reached out to cover his chest, covering his chest, which was more turbulent than a woman's.
"My dear friend, Mr. Richard, you... why are you here suddenly?" Looking at Richard standing beside the tub, Alex was first surprised, then guilty, and finally nervous.
Richard asked back: "Why do you think I came?"
"I... I don't know." Alex shook his head repeatedly.
"You really don't know?"
"Uh..." Alex didn't dare to speak, feeling extremely guilty.
"Okay." Richard turned and walked towards the living room, "You put on your clothes, and then come out and have a good talk with me."
"Well, it's..."
Richard walked to the living room and sat down. After waiting for a while, Alex slowly walked out and carefully sat on the chair next to him.
Looking up, Alex looked at Richard timidly, like a child who was caught stealing candy and eating it - a child weighing more than 200 pounds.
Richard also looked at Alex and said, "Tell me about the good things you did."
"What did I do?" Alex asked.
"Do you really want me to remind you?"
"I... Gudong." After swallowing his saliva and shrinking his neck, Alex said, "You... you know everything?"
"if not?"
"Uh, okay, I admit it." Alex admitted, "Well, I did buy your potion at a higher price, and then hid the extra part. This... I know I was wrong, I promise Take out all the crystal coins you have hidden in your pocket, and you will never do this again in the future. You... what do you think?"
"Let's put this aside for now." Richard waved his hand, "Let's talk about other things - more serious things."
"A more serious thing?" Alex couldn't help but was stunned, scratched his head and said, "There is nothing else, I... I just did this bad thing. My dearest friend, you can't just listen to other people's words. Ah, it’s only been a day. I can only do one bad thing, so I have so much time to do more bad things? What do you think?”
After speaking, Alex looked at Richard sincerely with his small eyes.
However, Richard did not take this trick and said, "Then let me remind you, have you ever been in contact with a guy named Gutas?"
"Gutas?" Alex rolled his eyes and recalled seriously, "There seemed to be such a person during the day. Um, I remember, he bought a bottle of potion, and I used two and a half... Um, no, three The low-grade crystal coins were sold to him.
Later, he came to buy again. I was ready to make a good profit from him, so I raised the price slightly. Unexpectedly, that guy was a poor man. He negotiated the price with me for a long time, didn't buy any more, and then left. Could it be..."
Alex thought he had guessed something. He looked at Richard with wide eyes and asked, "Could it be that that guy named Gutas is your friend? Then I will sell it to him cheaper in the future."
"No, I don't know him." Richard shook his head, "But... not long ago, he sneaked into my place and was caught by me. He told me that he got me from you. the address of."
Alex: "..."
After a moment of silence, sweat broke out on Alex's face and he shouted: "My dearest friend, Mr. Richard, you may have really wrongly accused me. This is a frame-up, this is definitely a frame-up, I will never tell the other party your address. I swear, I will never reveal even a word of your address!"
"But..." Richard said.
"But what?" Alex asked humbly.
"But what if you didn't realize it when you leaked it?" Richard said, "For example, the other party is consciously tricking you into telling you something."
"Um, this..." Alex was stunned, his eyes rolled around again, and he finally realized something, and successfully recalled that he seemed to have mentioned Richard's address inadvertently during the day.
Then, this...
