I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

The young man was wearing a simple brown suit, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were sincere, just like those beggars praying for food and rewards. This kind of eyes made it difficult for people to feel defensive and vigilant, but Drizzt knew clearly. This is the kind of person who, when he is not paying attention, will stab him with a knife, from the back to the chest, and maybe even say something like "The Catania family sends its regards to you".

"If I were you, I wouldn't play the violin here without chasing the guy behind me."

Drizzt spoke calmly.

"It's not necessary, that's not my purpose."

The young man found a sofa and sat down, motioning for Drizzt to sit down as well.

"Maybe you can't remember my name, but it doesn't matter. My current name is Stone. Stone is from the Catania family and is also the family's strategist."

When he heard the name, Drizzt suddenly recalled it.

More than two years ago, during the period of [Madman's Mouth], they rented a car at a low price from a car rental shop in the abandoned capital, and at that time, it was this young man who was responsible for collecting the bills at the shop.

At that time he was still called Stone.

"what do you want?"

Drizzt didn't know what price the young man paid and what methods he used to climb here.

The gang's strategist is the person who assists the gang boss in handling various daily affairs. Usually, such a person must be a blood relative of the family, but an orphan like Stone is obviously not a relative of the Catania family. He can come to this The location must be different from ordinary people.

Not to mention, during this period, the rise of the Catania family was said to be related to their new military advisor. It seemed that this young man was far more powerful than Drizzt imagined.

"I'm not interested in what my immature sister likes to do. I heard that you are investigating Dr. House's case?"

Stone crossed his fingers and placed them on the coffee table.

"right."

Drizzt couldn't grasp Stone's thoughts, so he answered simply and concisely.

"Relax, I have no grudges with that doctor. If possible, I would like to talk to him about my sister's hobby, and I have no intention of stopping your investigation."

Stone said flatly.

"Actually, I would like to ask you to continue the investigation, but please report the case to me regularly."

"Some of your men died in the same way as them?"

Drizzt almost instantly thought of what Lu Tan said, that a doctor, a call girl, and probably a gang member all died from this glass flower.

Now that Stone, the strategist of the Catania family, came to him and asked him to continue the investigation and synchronize the case, he definitely didn't want to play a detective game.

Combining these points, Drizzt immediately thought of this possibility.

"As expected of a great detective, awesome."

Stone laughed dryly, with no change in emotion. He waved, and the thug on the side took out a paper document and handed it to Drizzt. It was a simple autopsy report and investigation.

"Flowers of glass."

Drizzt understood immediately when he saw the photo of the corpse.

This gang member's internal organs also bloomed into flowers, and were frozen here by the solidification of glass.

He looked through the autopsy report and found out that the man's death occurred one day ago, the night when Drizzt received the mission and met Shia. He and a few people were playing cards in the warehouse and went out to use the bathroom on the way. He did not come back for a long time. Later, others When his companions went to look for him, they saw him lying on the ground outside the warehouse in this posture.

From the time the deceased left until he was discovered, he did not make any sound that would attract the attention of anyone in the warehouse.

The deceased was a relative of the Catania family with a foreign surname, which attracted Stone's attention.

"Our family has expanded rapidly recently. Some people are unhappy with us. This is normal. I would like to ask you to investigate the murderer. For the safety of the underworld, I think you will not refuse, Mr. Drizzt."

Stone said in a deep voice.

"Security on the underworld?"

Drizzt laughed sarcastically.

"What? Since we controlled more than 70% of the underground transactions in the underworld, don't you think the underworld has become much quieter? Even competition leads to chaos, chaos leads to war, and war leads to death. Only an absolute power can make the entire underworld Become peaceful, and by being peaceful, you can do good business.”

Stone doesn't hesitate to explain his thoughts with words.

"Gangster? Do good business?"

Drizzt felt that the gangster described by this young man was different from what he knew.

"Mr. Detective, you don't understand gangsters. Those who rely on coercion and inducement to rise to power are low-level gangsters. The Catania family was once such a gangster, but I think these gangster methods can only alleviate temporary problems. I What is proposed is a sustainable family business. We started with those banned things, but now we are also doing legal business, trading with the big guys in the waste city. We founded schools and gave homeless children a place to live tomorrow. The charity gala is part of our fundraising.”

Stone tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table.

"It is short-sighted to only rely on illegal and high-risk means to gain profits. A truly smart person knows how to make his wealth clean, beautiful and impeccable."

Drizzt looked at Stone, and for a moment he had the idea that this guy must have a good chat with Lu Tran.

"So, Mr. Drizzt, we will not hurt you. As a detective, you have solved many cases for Feidu. Everyone trusts you. We also want to have a good relationship with you. This case involves members of our family. , I hope the person who killed him can be punished, this does not violate fairness and justice, right?"

Stone smiled.

Drizzt looked at the autopsy report again.

"I need to check the body on site, and give me the person's whereabouts in the past month, including who he met and what he ate..."

He handed over some information needed for the investigation, and after entering his own field, Drizzt became much calmer.

Besides, the young strategist really didn't seem that violent, at least not towards Drizzt.

"no problem."

Stone stood up and shook Drizzt's hand.

"With a great detective like you in Wasteland, I really feel safer as an ordinary citizen."

"..."

Drizzt twitched the corner of his mouth and watched the other party leave.

He thought for a while and returned to the small room behind the musical instrument store.

The two people in the room were still sitting and puffing away. They didn't know if they really didn't notice what was going on outside or if they were pretending not to know.

He glanced at the musical instrument store owner, said nothing, and left the musical instrument store.

"Things are getting more and more complicated, but at least there's one more clue."

Drizzt sighed and prepared to go back to find Lu Jian and the others.
