Chapter: 687
Killer of Williams!
Xio lowered his head again, and slowly stuffed the remaining food into his mouth.
After a few minutes, she put the dinner plate and the wine glass on the bar, and then left the Workers' Union tavern without looking back.
��because the boots were so much higher, she effectively concealed the most obvious features.
Once outside, Xio slowed down, found a secluded place nearby, and observed the people entering and leaving the tavern.
After waiting for a while, she finally found an acquaintance, Burton, a skilled worker who lived in the East District and worked in the East Balam Shipyard.
The young man liked to treat himself to a cup of bad rye ale at noon or in the afternoon, which was all he could afford on his salary, and he couldn't drink it every day.
Xio quickly jumped over, patted Burton on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's me, Xio."
"Hugh?" Burton looked up and down the short man behind him, and almost didn't recognize that he was the famous "arbiter" Hugh Dilza in some streets in the East District.
"I have something to ask you." Xio pointed to the corner next to her.
Burton followed in doubt, and asked in a daze when he reached the hiding place: "Are you doing a reward mission?"
He had heard that Hugh was also a bounty hunter.
"Yeah." Xio nodded perfunctorily, took out five penny copper coins, and tossed them, "Do you know that tall man in the tavern?"
"You mean the tall, fair-haired, fierce one?" Burton gestured.
"Yes." Xio immediately took out the folded portrait and unfolded it, "You must fully confirm it."
"It's him. He has often come to this tavern in the past two or three months. I haven't seen him before. He is fierce and unreasonable. He fights very hard. You'd better not mess with him." Burton glanced carefully. After a few glances at the portrait, he sincerely advised him.
Well, when I saw that person just now, it was like meeting a ferocious beast when I was a child. There was a feeling that he was not an opponent and had to be avoided immediately... Xio secretly breathed out, and asked, "Do you know who he has a close relationship with?" ?"
"I don't know, he is very out of group, rarely speaks, and no one even knows what his name is. We nicknamed him 'Giant'." Burton pouted and shook his head.
After thinking about it, Xiu asked again: "Apart from the tavern, where else have you met him?"
"You can ask your friends the same question, remember, it must be a friend who is trustworthy enough."
Burton recalled: "When I went to work in the dock workers' union, um, the dock workers' union in the East Balam Dock, I would occasionally see him appearing around, Hugh, why are you not a member of the union? You are so Just, and those guys not only charged us 1.5 soli a week, but also made us pay half of our salary when other shipyards went on strike and we had to support our families!"
"Lord, it's all over. For a good life, we must help each other. However, as soon as they organized a strike, they reached an agreement with the lawyers sent by those rich people. Our situation has not improved at all!"
"Stop, stop." Xio pressed his right palm and said, "Besides, you haven't seen that 'giant' anywhere else?"
"No, neither should my friends, after all, we often discuss him in private." Burton replied in a very positive tone.
Xio didn't say any more, and gave the five copper pennies to the other party: "I invite you to drink."
"Don't tell anyone what I just asked, it will be very dangerous."
Before she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the corner, heading towards the dock workers' union at the East Balam Dock.
Ten minutes later, Xio saw the two-story yellow building.
She turned her canvas jacket upside down, revealing the patches inside, transforming herself from a short worker to a bum in an instant.
Glancing at the homeless men curled up on the corner of the street, Xio pinched his nose and went to sit with them, while his eyes glanced intermittently at the dock workers' union on the opposite side - when there were people coming in and out. JrNovels.com
