The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 24 Vegetable Supermarket
"Do you need me to ask for leave to help?" Eddie Brock asked worriedly.

"No, thank you." He Nan looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then reminded Brock in a low voice: "Remember to think carefully about whether to help Bone Spur get that document. Also, don't act without authorization. Discuss with us first."

"I...I understand." He replied anxiously, and stood up: "Then I'll go first."

"Wait." Miyano Shiho looked at the file and suddenly stopped him.

"Is there anything else to explain, Miss Shirley?"

"I do have a question...because I'm curious about this guy's information." Miyano Shiho said, pointing to the phone screen: a man named Paul Commons was written on it.

Of course, no photos exist.

"This guy has appeared in the investigation materials of Rostar Freight and Syndicate Industry." He Nan recalled what he just saw: "Brock's informant, isn't he?"

"Yes. He's a pimp and information dealer... very good at getting his girls to get some information from satisfied clients." Eddie Brock's expression obviously didn't understand what was wrong with him: "What's wrong? "

"Where's this guy lately?" Shirley asked.

"Should still be in New York... He never leaves that nightclub." Bullock said strangely: "Are you going to ask him for a question? Go to the address I recorded and try your luck."

"Have you met him recently?" Miyano Shiho continued to ask: "If not, when was the last time we met?"

"No... I haven't seen him for more than half a year. I haven't contacted him for nothing... So, what's the matter?" Eddie Brock was a little puzzled: "Do you think this person is suspicious?"

"Should I say it's suspicious..." Shirley looked into Bullock's eyes and said jokingly: "...It's better to say that it is necessary to investigate. Because this shop changed its owner last month."

"Xue Li, how did you know?" Sitting aside, He Nan asked strangely, "Did you discover it during the investigation?"

"Yeah." Miyano Shiho nodded: "A kidnapping case... The police thought that the poor girl was sold to some nightclub. They didn't seem to want to care about it, so they came to us..."

"—I remembered. I was dealing with other cases at the time." He Nan understood: "So you went to this shop during the investigation and found out that the boss is someone else."

Definitely not that shop.

Otherwise, He Nan must have an impression.

The useless and uninteresting information found when the two parties act alone may not be shared with the other party because it is meaningless-but the results of the case will definitely be shared with each other.

"Well." Shirley nodded: "I saw a female boss named Ava. In short, the place is no longer under the management of Paul Commons, and even the name is no longer the Commons Club. At that time, I I also heard some guests inside shouting 'I wish our new boss' business is booming... It shows that it hasn't been too long since the change of hands."

"...Is that so." Eddie Brock was a little uneasy after hearing this: "Could it be that my investigation was exposed...? That's why Paul Commons was killed..."

"If that's the case, then obviously no one will protect him." Ho Nan comforted Eddie, "He's not a good person either. Since he's doing this business, he's just putting his head on his waistband to make money. It's not surprising that he ended up like this. I don't blame you." .”

"He Nan is right." Shirley agreed: "It seems that you, Brock, don't know about this matter... Then there is nothing I need to ask you, and we will contact you later."

Eddie Brock soon left with a sad mood.

He Nan looked at the map again, confirmed the location of Ava's nightclub, and frowned.

"It's better for us to investigate this place at night. During business hours, there are too many people... If the conversation breaks down, it's not convenient to attack us." He Nan suggested: "Let's check the selected target first, eight in the evening Let's meet up at the nightclub."

"...Although I don't recommend going out at night, this is the only way to do it under special circumstances." Shirley also agreed: "We only have one car, who will drive it?"

"Go ahead, I can take the subway there - let's save for another two months, and we can buy another one." He Nan glanced at the map again, pointing to an unmarked building nearby: "I remember This is a vegetable supermarket? Go there and buy something, and then we’ll leave.”

"Yeah...vegetable supermarket." Shirley glanced in the direction indicated, and smiled badly: "Get in the car."

The so-called "vegetable supermarket" is slang.

Meaning buying a gun here is as casual as buying a vegetable farmer's own vegetables at a remote town market.

You can pick and choose, and then grab the promising weapons from the booth to the basket to check out.

Some junk weapons are even sold by the pound.

You can choose freely and weigh on the scale.

The background of this black market is very hard.

And it can operate independently without being controlled by a gang.

The government turned a blind eye to this.

He Nan remembered that he once read in the newspaper that Gotham's munitions boss Black Mask was also trying to get a foot in New York's arms trade, and launched a gun battle for this.

...Not long after that, he was beaten and rolled out, terrified.

It was still beaten by the local Marvel gang in New York and the little spider.No one is willing to help him.

It was so miserable.

Get beat up by Batman in Gotham, beat up by Spiderman here.

Penguin, who originally thought that everyone came out of Gotham to expand their territory and could cooperate, also stabbed him in the back.

At present, it seems that only Penguin, who is best at running a criminal empire in Gotham, has gained a foothold in New York, and even has the capital to compete with Jin for territory...

After all, New York is the home of Marvel World, and DC's super criminals really lack local resources if they want to come here.

The black market isn't far from here.

Only two miles.

After entering a courtyard with security guards, you can go shopping.

...It was a building with a wide hall.

Shopping is limited to one level only.

"I like this kind of place." Shirley walked past two security guards who were busy smoking cigarettes, but was only glanced at. She smiled and leaned into He Nan's ear and said, "Never search. I especially hate small The feeling of having a secret exposed."

"Me too." He Nan nodded, and glanced at a bald black man with tears tattooed on his face passing by: "Then there can be no surprises."

Shirley obviously didn't want the pistol hidden on her body to be discovered.

This makes her feel very insecure.

Miyano Shiho never let guns and knives leave him.

Even when taking a shower or sleeping.

She had seen too many murders.

Many of these tragedies have one thing in common.

That is, the deceased mistakenly believed that he was in a safe place, facing someone who would never harm him, and had no weapons at all.

In many cases, as long as there is a pocket knife, the ending will be completely different.
