Shashi found a blond thug standing at the door who looked like he was not easy to mess with. He was wearing a black leather jacket, various non-mainstream accessories, and a pair of black sunglasses. He looked like a man who was commissioned by his boss to collect protection money.
"Hey~ Long time no see, Kyousuke."
Kintoki ignored Saki who was standing in a daze in front of him and went straight to the bar to greet Kyosuke.
"Didn't we just meet?"
Kyosuke didn't even raise his head, still doing his homework.
"Don't be like this... I'm here to take care of your business, okay?" Jin Shi said, snapping his fingers to wake up Saki who was still in a daze, "Miss, please get me a bottle of beer."
"Nothing."
Kyosuke rejected Kintoki outright, knowing that this guy had rarely paid the bill when he drank. It was okay to let him satisfy his cravings once or twice as a friend, but he couldn't always indulge him like this. Anyway, he had the biggest backer (Minamoto no Raikou) behind him, so he wasn't afraid of this gangster picking on him. If Kintoki dared to act wildly here, he could call his immediate superior to arrest him. You know, Sadamitsu had been complaining about Kintoki's frequent skipping of work for a long time.
"Hey, I brought money with me this time, so I can pay the bill."
Jin Shi took out a stack of cash and put it on the table. His action won Shaxi's favor. She hadn't seen a customer who paid money for a long time.
Kyosuke didn't care. He squinted his eyes at Jintoki and said with disdain, "You're selling yourself?"
Jin Shi pounded the bar counter loudly: "How is this possible! This is my own money! Don't insult my reputation."
"If you want a good reputation, pay me back the money you owe me for the drinks. Have you guys come here to buy on credit when you're broke?"
PS: I went to see Ant-Man 2 today. The movie was OK, but I felt it didn't meet my expectations. The whole movie felt like it was made under pressure, and the effort in various places was just right. Let alone Avengers 3, compared to Thor 3 and Black Panther, the movie itself has too little style. Black Panther is still quite distinctive in showing black culture. Ant-Man 2 feels like a conservative essay written for a test in order to get a passing score.
I wonder what you guys think? By the way, look forward to Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 6 next week. ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Chapter 93 Lao Fu: I want to set a trap
Yesterday, in Holmes' office.
"It's definitely okay for me to help you. After all, my pension for the rest of my life depends on the hard work of your lower body, right?"
If it weren't for the difference in strength, Kyosuke really wanted to slap Holmes's extremely handsome face twice.
But this doesn't mean that Kyosuke will accept this guy's nagging obediently. "I don't think you have a retirement life for the rest of your life. You should just sit in this position of public servant until the end of time."
Lao Fu didn't care about Kyosuke's contempt at all. He took out a document that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Kyosuke. "Maybe. So for the welfare of the general public, I, the chief of the police, must also make some achievements."
Kyosuke saw the two eye-catching photos on the material and the notes below, and seemed to realize something, "The leader of the drag racing gang, Sakata Kintoki and... Francis Drake?!"
"Yes, that's them. You should know them, right? I remember seeing them a few times in your bar."
"Yeah, they're a frequent visitor to my bar. But isn't it common knowledge among the community that they race against each other?"
"Then you should also know that these two people like to compete, right?"
Lao Fu's tone remained calm, but Kyosuke could hear the deep helplessness in his words.
Jinshi and Drake are both famous motorcycle racing enthusiasts. There are also other Heroic Spirits who are into speed racing, but no one is as passionate about motorcycle racing as these two, who are simply fanatical.
Of course, Jinshi is purely passionate about it, while Drake is forced to do it. This guy's favorite thing is not racing but sailing, and it is the kind of sailing ships from the Middle Ages. It's a pity that sailing ships can no longer sail on the sea these days. No matter which country's government, it is estimated that such things will not be allowed to wander around in their own waters, especially Drake's ship is a standard sailing ship. Even if Drake can handle these things, these trivial matters like annoying flies basically kill her interest in sailing. As for modern ships, Drake herself is not very interested. In her words, she doesn't know why it's boring to sail.
After trying numerous means of transportation, Drake finally chose a motorcycle, which she thought was the closest to a pirate ship. In the eyes of outsiders, these two means of transportation are completely unrelated, but Drake herself accepts them.
“Driving it feels like riding the wind and waves on the sea.”
These are Drake's exact words.
Although Kyosuke didn't quite understand what this meant, in his opinion, as long as the big sister was happy, it was fine. After all, she would always take care of her business before racing, and the fact that she couldn't drive after drinking was selectively forgotten by Drake and Kyosuke himself.
As for how Kintoki and Drake knew each other, you have to know that the Heroic Spirit community is not big, but it is not small either. Especially in recent years, Heroic Spirits from all over the world have gathered in Japan, so basically everyone in the community knows each other. In such an environment, Kintoki and Drake, who are both motorcycle riders, naturally met each other.
However, unlike what other people imagine, two people will become good friends with similar interests. When they meet, sparks fly. I don't know if it's the gossip of the thugs below or their brains are suddenly disordered. Anyway, since their first meeting as bikers, they have been arguing over the title of "the world's strongest biker".
In order to determine who is the strongest motorcyclist among the Heroic Spirits, they competed almost all over the Kanto region. They even went to Hokkaido and raced twice on icy roads. Tokyo and the surrounding areas were their main areas of activity, and became their main racing arena every few days.
"Of course I know that. You know, many of their matches started at my bar."
"Right, so I hope you can keep a close eye on them both. If they're going to race again, please let me know."
Lao Fu put his hands together and placed them to his mouth, his expression looking extremely serious.
"what happened?"
Kyosuke was a little uncomfortable seeing Lao Fu being so serious.
"It's like this. These two guys' unbridled speeding has already attracted everyone's attention. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, I want to punish them a little."
"Is there anything you can't handle?"
Lao Fu's explanation did not make Kyosuke very satisfied.
"It's not a matter of whether it can be solved or not, but they have already somewhat affected the lives of normal people. After all, I am also a public employee, so I have to be responsible for the taxes paid by taxpayers."
Then you want me to offend my old customers?
After hearing what Lao Fu said, Kyosuke couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Can't you just say it yourself?"
"You think I haven't tried? These guys are as thick-skinned as a city wall. As soon as I said something, they ran out to race. Even if I confronted them afterwards, they were like dead pigs that were not afraid of boiling water. They would never admit it even if I was beaten to death. So I had to catch them in the act."
It seems that you are not having an easy time either.
Kyosuke felt a little sympathy for Lao Fu as he looked at him complaining to him.
"So I can only ask you, Kyousuke, for help. Like you said, the two of them always start from your store. If they want to compete again, you must inform me in time. Don't worry, I won't betray you."
———————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————
"...So, this money was given to me by my younger brothers. Don't accuse me of selling my body anymore!"
Kyosuke felt a little helpless when he saw the arrogant Kintoki and Drake who was almost drunk behind him.
Now that the two protagonists are here, I guess they will get angry if they provoke each other a little. At that time, there is a 99% chance that they will go out to race again.
After thinking for a long time, Kyosuke still felt a little reluctant. After all, they were the main source of his turnover. What if Lao Fu locked these two people in a small dark room forever and let his bar go bankrupt?
So Kyosuke admonished Kintoki in a serious tone, "So you didn't sell yourself, but just went back to find your bad friends? Kintoki, you're not a child anymore, listen to me, don't always cause trouble for your mother. You know, it takes a lot of energy and time to deal with your racing crime record every year. Can't you just stop doing such illegal things? If you really like, why not just become a racing athlete?"
Kyosuke's words didn't have any effect. Jintoki shook his head halfway through listening, "That's really boring. The most exciting part of racing is the unknown. You never know what will happen at the next intersection. This kind of unknown excitement is something you can never experience at any other time. The race track is too childish. There is no such surprise waiting for you."
"If you want to surprise your mother, why don't you dance hula naked in front of her? I guarantee she will give you a big surprise."
You deserve to be targeted by Lao Fu.
When Kyosuke saw Kintoki, who looked so excited as if he couldn't wait to go down for a walk, he instantly felt that this guy was hopeless.
"You'd better behave yourself recently. Sherlock Holmes is going to investigate speeding. If you get caught, don't say that I didn't warn you." Kyosuke took out a bottle of sake from the wine cabinet and handed it to Jin Shi. "We really have no beer left. You'll have to make do with this. Go home early after you finish drinking, and don't speed today."
"Why? Sake doesn't taste good."
Jin Shi looked very disappointed when he heard that there was no beer.
Kyosuke nodded towards Drake and said, "Everyone else has already drunk it. There's nothing I can do."
"Tsk, it's you again."
Jinto looked at Drake with dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Kintoki. When are you going to play again?"
Drake was very satisfied with Jinshi's frustrated look. She even raised the bottle of wine towards Jinshi and made a toast gesture. Then she drank it all in one gulp without caring about Jinshi's expression.
"Tsk."
Jin Shi smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. He felt that his luck today was really terrible. Not only did he not get to drink the beer, but the beer was actually drunk by this guy who was extremely hostile to him. What made him even more depressed was that he couldn't give this guy a toast. Sake is not suitable for drinking in one gulp like beer. Because the taste of sake is a bit spicy, it can only be poured into a small cup and drunk one sip at a time. This made him feel like a loser.
However, just because Jin Shi hasn't spoken yet doesn't mean Drake will just let things go.
After finishing her drink, Drake staggered over to Jinshi. She put one hand on his shoulder and pointed at the glass Jinshi was drinking sake from with the other hand and laughed, "Hahaha, why are you drinking from such a small glass? You should drink with big gulps!"
Jintoki impatiently slapped the hand on his shoulder away and said with an unhappy look on his face, "You idiot, this is how you drink sake."
Although Jin Shi's words implied that Drake was an uninformed bumpkin, he gave up using the small wine glass that was not much bigger than his thumb and instead drank the wine from the bottle directly with his mouth.
Kyosuke looked at Kintoki's actions, raised his eyebrows and said nothing more, but decided to include the entire set of wine utensils in Kintoki's drink money when settling the bill later.
"Hahaha, I'm angry, I'm angry."
Derek poked Jintoki's face with his finger and teased with a smile.
Jin Shi originally had a hot temper, and he didn't want to pay attention to Drake just now because he wanted to drink quietly. Now that the other party was pushing him too far, how could he continue to endure?
"Shut up!"
Kintoki punched the bar to silence Drake, and the huge vibration made Kyosuke's heart skip a beat.
"Hey! I just did some new renovations!"
But Kyosuke's words were immediately drowned out by the confrontation between the two people, and no one paid any attention to him.
"I say, come and take a look if you dare?"
Jin Shiyi pursed his lips and pointed outside the window.
Drake was not to be outdone. She ignored Kyosuke's exclamation and put one foot on the chair and said nonchalantly: "Although I am a woman, I still accept your challenge."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to clear the way."
Jin Shi immediately picked up his phone and called his younger brother.
"Okay, I'll call my boys over too."
"You two walk slowly."
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Kyosuke picked up the money that Kintoki had just put on the table, counted the money for the drinks and the previous debt, and returned the remaining two bills to Kintoki. Then he took out his cell phone and waited, as soon as the two of them left the bar, he would immediately call Laofu to catch them.
"Why are you leaving? Come here too."
Drake grabbed Kyosuke's arm and pulled him over without saying a word.
"Hey! What can I do for you?"
"You will be the referee and commentator."
“No way.”
Big sister, I'm going to call the police later. Aren't you dragging me into trouble by doing this?
Although Kyosuke struggled hard, he, an ordinary person, was like a salted fish that made efforts but received no rewards, and could only be dragged out by Drake.
