Chapter 399 398. Prohibition

  Simply left a record with the police. In the evening, as the sun sets, Drizzt, Lu Zin, and Xia left Dr. House’s clinic.

   "Someone is staring at you?"

  In a restaurant on the side of the road, Drizzt recounted what he felt in the dark underground room.

  To his surprise, neither Lu Zie nor Xia felt it.

  That thing seemed to be coming for Drizzt.

  "Do you really know something incredible, the other party wants to kill you?"

  Lu Yi picked up a hot potato, peeled the outer skin, sprinkled a bit of salt and pepper, and took a bite.

   "There is something in that room, I didn't dare to say when I was inside."

   Drizzt sighed and stirred the broth with a spoon. Compared to the vegetable broth on the Black Street, the broth in the restaurant had at least real meatloaf and a lot more flavor.

   "But neither Lu Yi nor I felt it. This shouldn't be."

Xia gobbled it up and said, in front of her, a chicken leg had been eaten by her along with the bones. There was only a little bit of crumbs left in the large piece of bread. As for the meat steak and vegetable soup, it was only because Xia was talking. The fate of them being eaten up and wiped out was postponed a little bit.

  ". Is it really an illusion?"

  Drizzt also knew very well that Lu Zin and Xia, one is not normal, the other is beyond the ordinary, if these two people don't feel it, then most of them are really nothing, it's just their own psychological effects.

"Forget it, let's take a look at the next investigation target, the supplier who contacted Dr. House, and the two patients he has received. By the way, I might go to Mrs. Martina tomorrow morning. After all Some things are best not to stay by your side."

  He patted his chest, the case records in the inner pocket of the long trench coat.

   “Is there a possibility that the friends and relatives of those who were killed by the gang’s noblewoman had hatred and wanted to kill an accomplice like Dr. House?”

   Lu Yi asked again.

   "It is also possible that I have recorded the names and information of these deceased persons, and I can investigate and investigate tomorrow."

  As a detective, Drizzt still has this level of smell.

   "You two will sleep in my detective office tonight. I am a little worried that other monsters will appear due to the influence of Silent Place."

"Great!"

  Lu Yi made a good voice.

   "Are there many monsters in the abandoned city?"

  Xia seems to have not been to the abandoned city again except for the last [Madman’s Mouth] mission, so she is not familiar with the state of this place.

   "Not much, to be honest, I have traveled in so many foreign places, I think the most dangerous thing is not monsters, but humans."

   Drizzt smiled bitterly.

  After dinner, the three of them walked through the street.

As the name suggests, Grey Alley is located at the junction of the rich and the poor. Under the street lights, there are many call girls standing. They are dressed up, but they have a poor complexion. As long as they are willing to spend money, they can spend a good night with them. There are also some Beggar, his eyes are numb, and he can't see any will.

  The only thing missing is the drunk. Because the abandoned capital is still under the prohibition of alcohol, the guys who rely on alcohol to paralyze themselves have not appeared on the street, but has the crime rate really decreased?

  Lu Yi didn't quite believe it.

   “In this way, due to the prohibition of alcohol, some doctors will make private wine for sale. Will Dr. House have such a hobby?”

  He had seen alcohol in the dark room. In this foreign land of Prohibition, this kind of thing is quite risky.

"It is possible, but at least the wines in his darkroom were not brewed by himself. I know the labels of those wines. They were brewed by the Catania family. In some upper-class parties, these wines will be provided to those guests in their childhood. Taste it in the room, it should have been given to him by Mrs. Martina."

   Drizzt explained.

  The prohibition on alcohol is strict to the lower class, and naturally loose to the upper class.

Lu Zan looked at the rich area, which was also magnificent and brightly lit at night, illuminating the roads in the poor area, more dazzling than the street lights here. In those houses, the so-called upper-class people sang and sang every night, and the wine was definitely not good. Will be absent from these banquets.

  However, due to the prohibition of alcohol, public drinking and drinking at parties are not allowed, so many people go to the lounge of the banquet hall, where they can taste wine while discussing transactions.

  A small group of people walked by the street. These people were wearing shabby clothes, with gray-headed faces and some hard-to-wash stains. I don't know if it was caused by paint or coal.

"These are the workers over there. They start working at 7 o'clock in the morning and work six days a week until 9 o'clock in the evening. The money they make is only enough for two people to eat. The pollution of those factories, I mean exhaust gas. It's very serious, especially in recent years, a worker can no longer work after three years at most, otherwise he will die."

   Drizzt whispered to Xia and Lu Yi.

"Many of them are farmers living in the wilderness outside the abandoned city. Because of the adoption of some new technologies, the wealthy people who have mastered the farmland fired them and let these people enter the abandoned city. They were illiterate and had no skills themselves. They can only enter the factory and continue to be squeezed by the rich."

  "Why not go to other cities, or go further in the wild?"

  Xia puzzled.

  In the kingdom of night, there is no such exploitation and squeeze. If one cannot go to the gray tower to learn magic, one can also go to farm, raise livestock, cut wood, and raise fish. In any case, he can feed himself.

"The abandoned city is barren, and even bounty hunters don’t want to waste time there. Farther places, like our last time, require a long journey and are dangerous. Many people can’t even pay for the fare. rise."

  Drizzt lit the tobacco in the pipe, inhaled the pungent smell, and relieved fatigue.

   "Moreover, even if you go to other cities, you may be squeezed by those who are in power in those cities. There is no difference. At least there are more opportunities to waste the capital. If you have good physical strength and luck, you can become a thug."

"Terrible."

  Xia couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That’s why I said that compared to monsters, people in the abandoned city are more terrifying. Monsters will only kill you, at least you will not feel it when they eat you, but in this city, you will only feel that chronic death has swallowed you. The pain will continue until the moment you stop breathing."

  Drizzt took the two skillfully across the street and returned to Drizzt’s detective office, also located at the junction of the rich and the poor.

As soon as the door opened, a fat orange cat was sitting on the sofa, lazily looking up at the door. When he noticed Lu Zan, the orange cat suddenly jumped up and looked at this side vigilantly. Then he slipped away. Where did it go.

   "I'm going to borrow two quilts, you can find a comfortable floor."

   Drizzt pointed to a messy ground, and then went downstairs.
