Baltimore is located about 50 kilometers northeast of DC.
It used to be the third largest city in the United States, with the earliest railway and excellent port resources, and it was an important hub for the industries of the Great Lakes to enter the sea.
But that was a long time ago.
Now Baltimore has become more and more deformed and chaotic.
The middle class and wealthy people who first lived here, faced with the influx of a large number of African Americans, chose to leave and stopped playing with African Americans.
The white people moved to another area by themselves, leaving the original urban area to a group of blacks with no money.
The whole city was thus split into two parts.
Some of them are rich and middle class, and they live in new districts with good law and order and good supporting service facilities.
Most of the old districts are full of crime, and the African ethnic group, which accounts for nearly half of the city's population, stays here, rotten day after day.
In terms of crime rate, cities like Chicago and Detroit have to bow down to Baltimore.
That is to say, Baltimore has a population of less than one million and has no advantage in absolute numbers. This is why it has not won the crown of the sin capital of the United States.
Even so, one can only imagine how chaotic the old town is here.
But it is always a good place with extremely convenient water and land transportation. It is only about 150 kilometers away from Philadelphia in the north and just over 300 kilometers away from New York.
Chaos means that there are many places that are not controlled, and the convenience of land and water networks can transport a large amount of illegal drugs to other places by road, train, and boat.
Luke entered the old town in the dark.
After a while, he came out of an alley, and instead of hiding his figure, he changed into an African-American vest,
It belonged to a certain peddler in New York, and the original owner had turned it into experience points in the system a few months ago, and there would be no trouble if it was used once.
The biggest characteristic of this peddler is his ferocious appearance and strong body, which is somewhat similar to Mike Tyson in his previous life, so Luke kept him.
Now that Luke was walking in the old city, many people just glanced at him and stopped paying attention.
A strong black man, wearing a very ordinary gray and black pullover, with his hands still in his pockets, is not a suitable target for robbery.
If it really went, it would be hard to say who robbed anyone.
Luke just walked into a bar not far away.
Most of the neon lights that make up the name of the bar have been broken, only a j can be seen, followed by a br some distance away, and an a is looming in the middle.
On the side of the door, two big African-American men smoking just glanced at Luke and ignored him.
Luke pushed the door and entered.
A passage seven or eight meters long appeared in front of him. The brick-red walls and dim lights made it look dull and depressing.
At the end of the passage, a heart-pounding heavy bass was faintly heard from a door, mixed with the lyrics of jabbering.
Pushing open the second door, the sound flooded into his ears like a tidal wave.
After scanning the hall for a moment, he walked to the bar and tapped the counter with his knuckles: "A bottle of beer."
The bartender handed over a bottle of beer, took the money for the drink, and ignored him.
Luke turned half a circle and looked towards the stage in the middle of the hall.
The stage is a disc with four cross-shaped aisles extending out, on which two women are dancing.
One is of white race and the other is of African descent. What they have in common is serious lack of clothes, great-mindedness, generous chassis, and the feeling of shaking the ground when they are thrown.
Many people around the stage were whistling, and from time to time they used the banknotes in their hands to seduce
They are close to themselves.
The two female dancers cleverly used their dancing positions to put themselves in a position where they could receive the money without being dragged down.
Dancing here, absolutely avoid this dangerous situation.
The fate of being pulled down from the stage ranges from a bruised nose and a swollen face to an untimely death.
The bar owner has enough deterrent power, but he can't resist those idiots drinking too much, and they will mess around if they are stupid.
At this moment, although Luke was facing the stage, the focus of his eyes was already on the virtual projection of the light-colored sunglasses.
A large number of micro-drones began to investigate this bar, and they flew in from various gaps without a sound, searching all the hidden areas of this building.
At the same time, Luke's ears were also collecting and analyzing the conversations of those around him.
Most of the fun-seeking people were directly skipped by him, and he focused on those who behaved more abnormally.
It's like two men leaning together, saying "tomorrow's goods" and "twenty-five thousand" in their mouths.
As well as individual gangsters who go in through a small guarded door from time to time, and then come out again, they will occasionally take the money they just got, and run to the stage or bar to spend it.
But these small miscellaneous fish were not Luke's target.
These small fish will not enter his fishing range until he catches the big fish.
Suddenly the music stopped, and the two sweaty female dancers walked back to the central stage with the only clothes around their waists and the banknotes pinned like flowers on them.
The two girls stood up, blew kisses around, and then slowly sank below the stage.
Without the music, all kinds of noisy voices sounded.
Whistles, curses, shouts, and conversations mixed together, and everyone's ears were buzzing.
Then those who went to the toilet, those who took the opportunity to drink alcohol and drugs, and those who hugged each other and groped frantically, also seized the time to continue.
This is the break time and the prelude to the next carnival.
Luke also found his purpose.
In a luxurious booth, one of them was called "Boss" by others, and another person called him "Boss Rama".
Iron hand Rama, a boss with a murderous iron hand, is also the big owner of this bar.
At the same time, he is also Claudia's "big customer".
In the past two years, Claudia has provided him with up to five tons of goods, and the few times Haji came, he just handed over the goods to this Rama.
In the transaction of traffickers without integrity and without bottom line, it is quite rare to pay first before goods, or first to pay after goods.
Therefore, Luke set his sights on Rama.
Even if it is finally found out that there is no one behind Rama, he will have a lot of experience points himself.
Once the goal is found, all that is born is to wait.
In order to avoid alarming the enemy and making Rama's possible superiors vigilant, Luke did not intend to touch this person directly, and first took out the information.
At this moment, the music in the bar started again, and an electronic song "toxic" sounded: "baby, 't you see i'm calling, a guy like you should ear a warning..."
Three female dancers, dressed in jerry-built blue stewardess outfits, rose from under the circular stage.
Luke just raised the beer in his hand and took a sip, glanced casually, and saw the one standing in the c position of the female dancer, just twisting her waist and walking forward slowly.
puff!
He spit out the beer in one gulp.
The bartender just glanced at him and saw that he just spat and put the bottle back on the bar without saying anything.
If it weren't for this bar, he wouldn't care if the guests spit out half a bottle of wine.
