Just when Drizzt was about to lean out of the window with most of his body, he was about to lose his balance and fall off the second floor.
But the woman glanced here, which froze Drizzt's movements.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that half of his body had leaned out of the window and was teetering on the edge.
Turning back to look at the street, the woman had disappeared.
The barking of dogs and the meowing of cats echoed in the streets of the abandoned city, a thin mist shrouded the factory chimneys, and the thick gray smoke formed the clouds of the abandoned city, blocking the starry sky.
"Liz's cohabitant is the murderer, which explains everything."
Drizzt felt like he was gradually understanding everything.
"Due to the gang war, Liz was killed. Her cohabitant tried to help Liz get revenge and killed Flora who had insulted her. Dr. House may have received something when selling medicine to Liz.
The extra reward made me an object of hatred."
"As for the Catania family, this is the direct cause of Liz's death. The cohabitant will naturally attack the gangsters. The first is McGee, who was tried in that fire but was not punished.
people."
"Then it's the family members."
However, Drizzt still felt puzzled. How did the cohabitant gain such strange extraordinary power despite his weak body?
Moreover, he used the assassination method to avoid exposing himself, but he is an ordinary civilian. Even if his face is seen, he may not be able to find it, so there is no reason to hide himself.
This method of assassinating anonymously and directly killing all the chasing Lu Tiao was obviously because this person currently had a prominent identity, and he did not want to destroy this identity. After assassinating the Catania family, he also
I want to keep my current life.
""
Some answers came to Drizzt's mind.
Each one of them made him a little scared.
Finally, Drizzt pointed his suspicion at one person.
Stone.
Judging from the current motive, Stone is the most suspect.
In other words, Stone should have contact with the murderer and be the person who provided help to the murderer.
"As an adopted son, he has outstanding abilities and is given high hopes by his godfather. However, because of his status as an adopted son, he cannot truly take over the family's business, so he is in a very dangerous position. Everyone else in the family wants to get rid of him after taking advantage of him.
"
"So, Stone took the initiative. He found the murderer who had a grudge against the Catania family and gave him help. The purpose was to get rid of the gangsters who were in the way. He wanted to truly control the Catania family.
"
The more Drizzt thought about it, the more he felt that this was the final answer.
"It's even possible that Stone is no longer the same person."
In foreign lands, it is not uncommon to have extraordinary abilities and the ability to disguise yourself as someone else. Moreover, in the dream, Drizzt saw Flora's face pressed against his body, which may be a hint.
Thinking about this, Stone asked himself to investigate this case because he also wanted to know the progress of Drizzt as soon as possible. In the abandoned city, Drizzt was a famous detective and had cracked many cases.
And if Drizzt doesn't discover the answer, then Stone doesn't have to worry about being exposed.
This is indeed the case. Stone's disturbance made Drizzt confused. If it weren't for this weird dream, he wouldn't have been able to think of this.
"He wants to give us the information about the Sharp Knife Gang tomorrow. Maybe he is taking this opportunity to see our reaction and see if Lu Tiao really didn't notice the murderer's appearance. If he was exposed, he would kill us on the spot.
"
Drizzt felt a cold sweat. The murderer could kill people quietly, but if he came with Stone, they would fall out on the spot, and they would not be prepared.
"Why don't you strike first?"
Drizzt glanced at Lu Tan, who was sleeping soundly, and had an idea in his mind.
early morning.
Drizzt briefly stated his deduction.
"I think the possibility of Stone being replaced is low. He should have just been exposed to foreign knowledge and been contaminated." Gu
Lu Tan expressed different opinions, but he did not deny Drizzt's speculation that Stone wanted to compete for the Catania family's spokesperson.
Rather, it is unrealistic for ordinary people not to want to make a career if they acquire that knowledge.
And from what Drizzt heard, Stone's philosophy was basically equivalent to whitewashing gangsters and trying to squeeze into the upper class society of the abandoned city.
Such things have also happened in the world where Lu Tian lives. At that time, foreign mafia gradually tried to branch out from illegal businesses such as smuggling, illegal drugs, and casinos, and involved real finance, industry, including politics, and some succeeded.
, some failed, and some became dessert companies selling chocolate and ice cream.
Of course, in the eyes of the real "gentlemen" at the time, these mafia gangsters were just upstarts in suits, and no one really thought highly of them.
Therefore, Lu Jian is not very optimistic about Stone's strategy.
"I have an idea, we can't be caught in one fell swoop, so you will come to see Stone later, and Shia and I will hide outside, so if he wants to take action, at most you will be the only one who can be saved.
"
After some discussion, Drizzt came up with an idea.
"You are such a clever little kid."
Lu Tan couldn't help but praise.
"I agree."
Shia, who was eating a sandwich, said in a vague voice with something in her mouth.
"Forget it, it's really inconvenient for you."
Lu Jian is still very considerate.
And he felt that the murderer was eager to hide himself yesterday, so he killed him.
Since Stone was here today, he would probably restrain himself a little for Lu Tan's sake.
Besides, if three people are together and the other party launches an attack, they may all be blamed. Now that the two of them are hiding, Stone will also worry about the possibility of being exposed.
Even if the murderer could escape, if the Catania family knew about Stone, his wish to become the godfather of the family would be in vain.
Based on this consideration, Lu Tan stayed at Drizzt Detective Agency and waited for Stone's arrival.
Ding dong
Just after ten o'clock, Lu Jian heard the doorbell ring.
He looked out the door through the peephole and saw Stone and a thug.
The big golden retriever dog followed Stone, sticking out its tongue.
Opening the door, Lu Jian let two people and one dog in.
"Old Cui and the others went to investigate new clues and are not here for the time being."
Lu Tan said casually, he glanced at the thug, he looked ordinary and tall.
"Any new clues?"
Stone's eyes lit up, and he asked the thug behind him to take out a file bag.
"This is the file of the Knife Gang. I looked through some of it myself. The call girl who died was the woman of Tucker, the leader of the Knife Gang."
