Facing Jubali's main street, this behavior was not noticed by anyone outside the hotel.The footsteps of these two times were false alarms in the end. They should be just the hotel waiters walking around, and they didn't seem to notice that there was an uninvited guest who was searching from room to room.

After the rooms on the entire first floor were searched, Mihawk, who had gained something, went down the safety stairs again, opened the door and entered the room he had reserved.He walked around the wall to listen to the movement, finally walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower and faucet to the maximum, took out the red phone bug from his pocket, and dialed "0309".

The phone bug rang for a while before he heard Shanks' voice: "Hawkeye! Have you found Charlie?"

"No." Mihawk gave a definite answer, "The mermaid is not in the envoy's room."

"Then we need to be more careful." Shanks paused, "Beckman speculated another place where Charlie might be hiding, and I'm here now, a slum not far from Jubali. "

"Have you discovered anything new?"

"Xiao Ba found the same type of large porcelain jar that the traffickers used to take away Xia Li in the grocery store. Beckman took a photo of it, together with the photo of Xia Li you brought and the photo of the Xihai wine bottle, all of them I have printed some more, and we all have a copy, and we are separately inquiring about it now." Shanks sighed, "There are too many murlocs and mermaids crowded together in this place, so it's hard to find. We are all human sea creatures. Thieves, it’s getting dark again now, and there are no aborigines willing to talk to us anymore.”

There was some noise from the phone bug, and Shanks said again: "You know what? I'm looking at the garbage dump by the light of the oil lamp to see if there are pieces of porcelain pots or wine in this fresh garbage. Bottle... In my many years of pirate career, I am afraid that there is no more uncool adventure than this!"

"I have found something here." Mihawk changed his hand to hold the phone bug, "The remaining Xihai man is called Lafayette, I guess."

"Huh?" The noise around Shanks was much quieter, he seemed to think for a moment, and finally said: "I have no memory of this name."

"I found in the room of the embassy a piece of identification for Marie Gioia's access to the World Conference, and there is only one."

"That's something more valuable than gold and silver treasures, and it will be convenient to take it anywhere, right?" Shanks seemed to chuckle, "Unless you are dealing with criminals like us, it would be easier Got caught."

"So it was left behind, and the photo was taken down. It can only be seen that it is an accompanying guard."

"Then... the clue is broken again, and I don't think he can use his real name when he does something shameful." Shanks seemed to have stepped on something, and Mihawk heard a "bang", followed by the other party's Complaining, "It's slippery here...and this Lafayette is a crafty fellow."

"Slippery?" Mihawk narrowed his eyes, "Fish scales?"

"Yes!" Shanks immediately gave an affirmative answer, "There are not so many such things in other places!"

"Murlocs or mermaids fell off, just like our hair loss. No one cleans the slums, so it will be everywhere." Mihawk stretched out his hand and carefully looked at the small pieces in his palm, "I Guess you have at least found the right location, I also found some broken fish scales outside the window sill of that Xihaike, maybe it was stuck on the soles of his shoes, it was a bit sticky, but unfortunately it was too small to tell what kind of fish it was."

"They live on the first floor? If you don't have to do things that don't see the light, you don't need to open the window to enter the house, right?"

"Live on the top floor, perhaps turned into the house from the roof."

"That's enough!" Shanks' laughter entered Mihawk's ears, "In short, we confirmed that this Lafayette is probably here, he is also a human being, and is as conspicuous as us, so that's three days of digging the ground. Chi, we will definitely find him!"

"I also want to go to the slums. But Jubali has to be guarded. If he comes back in the middle of the night, we have to know in time. If we can't find the mermaid, we will catch him and torture him."

Shanks laughed out loud with a "poof", "Are you just arresting the people who participated in the World Conference for interrogation? Thank you for speaking so lightly, no wonder you have such a high bounty alone!" He seemed to hesitate, He said again: "You've been busy all day, why don't you just stay in Qiubali and rest for a while."

"Coffee is for staying up late, I can't sleep anyway. Besides, I have other clues." Mihawk has no intention of giving in.

"Other clues?" Shanks' voice raised a little more, "Why don't you tell us and let's look for it together?"

Mihawk was silent for a while, and finally said truthfully: "It's the smell. From the very beginning, I thought that the person behind the scenes must go to unpopular places more than once to get acquainted and finally control those traffickers. Then A few murlocs are sloppy and love to drink, and the place where they meet will not attract much attention, so he must have one or two special clothes. If he was not ordered by his superiors to kidnap the mermaid, in order to cover his whereabouts, he would There was no way to summon the waiters to clean them frequently, or to throw them away—so, finally, I found a box that opened and had a long...smell, and then found the identification card." He played with a bubble that collected the scent in his hand. Bubble Coral, "...I'm so impressed with it, better to find it in person."

He heard Shanks' muffled laughter, and after a while, the voice of the other party continued to laugh: "Actually, Beckman has already asked Mr. Electric to take care of the phone bug. He guessed that you might need help or leave. So let jesus sneak into Jubali in disguise, and now in room 0802 of the hotel, Lackey has also gone to Coral Ridge port, and is watching the embassy ship. No matter where Lafayette goes, he can't escape us Eye."

Mihawk couldn't help but nodded in appreciation where Shanks couldn't see. The scheduling of the red-haired pirates was more efficient and reasonable than he imagined, which reduced him a lot of pressure to communicate with people. Maybe this is one of the important reasons why he doesn't feel that getting along with Shanks is a burden?

"Keep your snipers on the roof," he finally ordered, and hung up the bug, turning off the water and lights.Before going out, he came to the window first. His room was in the same direction as Lafayette's. He opened the window and looked down. Under the faint light, he couldn't see that the dense coral bushes downstairs were trampled by destruction. After confirming that there were no more omissions that he needed to explain, he finally left the room.

Mihawk, who arrived at the lobby, asked the waiter at the reception desk what good places to visit in Jubali City at night. If he wanted to stay out all night, the mermaids there would be more fun.After receiving a suggestive answer and accepting a few pink business cards from everyone who came, the swordsman walked out of the hotel very frankly.

The author has something to say:

If the number of words does not explode, it should be almost over!

Does anyone remember who Lafayette is in the original book_(:з」∠)_

12. Chapter 12

Shanks has walked through most of the alleys in the slums. During the period, he ran into two partners. After communicating with each other, they found nothing special. He estimated that Mihawk should have almost arrived here, but in this maze. On the same narrow, dirty and complicated dark path, the chances of them meeting each other quickly are not high.

There are fewer and fewer windows that are still shining, and Shanks has given up knocking on the door, otherwise he can only get curses or garbage, or even glass shards or blades thrown from the sky. The thief had once captured mermaid or murloc slaves here, in short, it was impossible for him to gain any kindness here.

He guessed how the Xihai guard from his hometown settled here. Could it be that he also relied on hypnosis?Or can money make ghosts turn millstones?He guessed that he must also be a person who loves pleasure, otherwise why would he keep a case of Xihai wine privately?

I don't know if the association and nostalgia gave birth to the illusion, Shanks sniffed hard, and seemed to smell an unusual smell of alcohol.He hurried forward a few steps, took another deep breath through his nose, and firmly confirmed the stronger aroma of Xihai fruit wine.

Overjoyed, he quickened his pace, followed the smell, turned half an alley, and walked towards the edge of the slums. When he got closer to its source, he turned the corner and saw a very tall figure swaying towards the slums in the distance. go outside.Shanks was about to stride forward, but he calmed down again. He put his hand on the handle of Griffin's knife, lifted his sandals quietly, and followed the man in front with a soft voice.

Shanks guessed that it should be a murloc, because he has a fat upper body, but his legs are not very thick, and there are some bow legs. It looks a bit huge and deformed, but for some reason, he always I feel that this figure from the back is so inexplicably familiar.He got closer, and was aroused by the stronger smell of wine, and he could already recognize that the man was holding the wine bottle he was looking for by a little light, obviously walking drink.

Shanks almost couldn't restrain his urge to go up to chat and ask for a drink. God knows how many years he hasn't had this kind of hometown wine. Nothing is more tormenting than this.However, just before he gave up stealth, the gradually clear voice reached his ears.

"Accidentally lost my way... Thief hahahaha, I don't know, this Dragon Palace City is too big, Captain Marko!"

Shanks' heart sank suddenly, this smile
