The interior of the bar is not ostentatious, with a wooden bar and dark red lighting, but it looks a bit like a folk bar. This is somewhat inconsistent with the style of a bar opened in a black area of ​​Brooklyn. There are no private partitions. Tables, chairs and coffee tables are scattered throughout the main space of the bar. Guests sit together in small groups, holding bottles of wine and chatting. There are few drunken bastards, and most of those who drink too much are left standing in the corner or moved outside. Throw it out.

The singer who performs in the store is not in the style of heavy metal death rock. He is wearing a white singing suit with three or two belts hanging side by side on his arms, which is a bit like Elvis Presley, but he is singing "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger. Look It can be seen that the shop owner pursues the concept that old classics will never go out of style.

Lin Nian walked to the wooden counter and pulled an empty chair next to him for Lin Xian to sit down. Behind the bar, a black-haired waitress wearing a blue tank top with a small section of dark wheat-colored skin was concentrating on wiping the cup. While Lin Nian was thinking about something, before he could speak, Lin Xian beside him suddenly reached out and touched his arm, motioning for him to look over.

There was an old photo frame on the wine counter facing the black-haired waitress. Inside was an old photo taken by several people gathered at an open-air round table in front of the bar. The sunshine that day shone very well on everyone's face, with smiles and harmony, as if the most beautiful moment of a big family had been frozen in place. Everyone was sitting hand in hand and praying before meals, and the most fascinating thing inside was The man in the prayer center attracted the most attention.

Bald head, muscular man, white shirt, a tough guy with a calm and leader-like face is undoubtedly the person they are looking for this time, but the tough guy in this photo is much younger than the prison photo, and his eyes are There is no cruelty in it, but only tenderness and cherishment towards family members.

Good luck?

Lin Nian and Lin Xian looked at each other. It seemed that the intelligence agency of the Laurent family was indeed powerful enough. An address was given to them directly to the prisoner's former lair. According to the intelligence, the target they were pursuing was being investigated. Before he was arrested in Chernobyl prison, there was a "family", brothers and sisters from all over the world, brothers who had known each other through life, and the black-haired woman in front of them with her back turned to them should be one of them.

Lin Nian picked up two empty cups on the table, pinched them gently with his fingers, and made a sound when they hit the wall of the cup. Only then did the black-haired woman who was distracted by wiping the cups return to the bar. She put down the cup and took a breath. Turning around and walking to the bar, he put his hands on the counter and looked at Lin Nian and Lin Xian. When he saw them clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned by their temperament and appearance. However, it only took him a few seconds to come back to his senses and asked calmly, "what do you want to drink?"

"Warm milk without sugar, for him." Lin Xian looked at the woman who looked obviously Mexican with a smile, half-raised his hand and wiggled his fingers, pointing to Lin Nian aside.

"Come to the most chaotic bar in Brooklyn and only order a glass of milk?" After hearing this, the black-haired woman ignored their identities and glanced at Lin Nian with interest, "I guess he is underage?"

"The real age is 17, the virtual age is 18, the real age is 18, the gross age is 20, rounded to 21, I have reached the drinking age." Lin Nian said.

"Pfft." The black-haired woman laughed, and Lin Xian laughed at the side. The two women looked at each other, and the black-haired woman asked first, "Brother?"

"Brother." Lin Xian smiled and nodded, "But we are not related by blood."

"It doesn't matter whether you are related by blood or not." The black-haired woman waved her hand and shook her head and said with a smile, "You should know very well that you will not love him more or less because of blood relationship, because no matter what, you We all love him just as much, no more, no less, and this is always the case with family."

"Lin Xian." Lin Xian reached out his hand after hearing this sentence, "You understand the word family very well!"

"Letty Rodriguez." The black-haired woman held Lin Xian's hand, "People who value their family can be seen wherever they go, such as you. My friends call me Letty, what do you want to drink? I dinner."

Sometimes women's friendship is so inexplicable. Lin Nian sat aside and didn't want to talk. He turned to look at the bustling guests in the bar, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

"Please have a non-alcoholic drink, we have to drive soon." Lin Xian retracted his hand and said with a smile.

Within a few minutes, Leidy put a cup of sugar-free hot milk and a bright red drink on the table, "Milk and a cup of Sugar Rush, sweet, light, fruity, non-alcoholic, very suitable for women to drink."

Lin Nian stared at the milk in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he chose to pick it up and take a sip. People in the bar couldn't help but take a second look at what he was holding and smiled interestingly, but when they saw Letty had the good sense not to laugh at them after talking to them.

"So, you two siblings came to this place just for a drink at 11:30 in the evening? Did you get lost while walking?" Letty sat on a chair and looked at the two people in front of the bar and raised her eyebrows. .

"No, we are here to participate in the competition." Lin Xian said after taking a sip of his drink.

"Wow, can't you tell that you are also the type of woman who likes playing with cars?" Letty looked at Lin Xian with a smile on her face. For her, there is nothing better than discovering that a friend whom she just met and got along with actually has something in common. There are better things to do, "Where did you get the news about the competition here?"

"A friend told us that if you want to find excitement, come to a bar called Brooklyn Hot Flash at midnight (11:00-1:00)." Lin Nian said while drinking hot milk.

"Then I advise you to stay away from that friend of yours. He is probably jealous of the relationship between your siblings and wants to send one of you to the hospital in a car accident." Letty shook her head and said, "There are indeed underground racing events here. But people are not welcome to come with a playful mentality. Look at the group of people outside, and you should understand what I mean. The people who come here are all ruthless characters. If you are not in this territory, you will be in other places. When you meet these people, they will probably take your pants away."

"What if you didn't come here just for fun? I heard that the bonuses here are very big." Lin Nian wiped the milk on the corner of his mouth and looked up at the Mexican woman, "People outside say you are here The organizer of the event needs your nod if you want to sign up.”

"Sign up? Has a 17-year-old boy gotten a driver's license? And unfortunately, even if you have a driver's license, it doesn't mean you can really set foot in the field of 'racing', especially 'underground racing.'" Letty looked at Lin with a smile. Year, "Putting aside the competition, little brother, do you believe that we are driving the same car, and I can make you unable to see my taillights within a block of distance? You know that racing cannot be won by stepping on the accelerator." of."

"About this, I have to say a few words for my brother. We did come here with the purpose of racing." Lin Xian pushed the half-drunk drink and said, "Our car is parked outside. , you can go and take a look at the one with the most people surrounding it, and you’ll probably understand what we mean.”

"A nice car, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and coming to a bar at midnight is not the plot of a car chase movie." Letty waved her hand.

"Why don't you go out and take a look at our car first, and then come in to talk?" Lin Xian did not explain, but smiled and tilted his head to signal Leti to go out.

"." Letty stared at Lin Xian for a few seconds, then shook her head with a smile, stood up, and walked out of the bar, really prepared to be amazed.

After Leti walked out, Lin Xian turned to look at Lin Nian and found that Lin Nian had a photo frame in his hand. When he looked at the counter, he saw that the photo frame there had disappeared.

"What do you think?" Lin Nian glanced at the photo frame a few times and handed it to Lin Xian.

"This Letty should be very close to the prisoner we are looking for." Lin Xian took the photo frame from Lin Nian's hand, gently slid his thumb across the spotless photo frame, and looked at the people surrounding the photo in a circle. "Look at the seat in the photo, she is sitting next to the prisoner. From the social distance they maintain, it seems that the relationship between the two is either relatives or lovers. When she mentioned 'family' during the chat just now, she showed many subtle movements. She felt lonely and desolate. In the past, she should have been used to having someone by her side, and this person should be the person we were looking for. This gave me the feeling that the relationship between the two of them should be more of a lover, a true lover. "

"She has been looking at photos and thinking about people. Has she never seen the prisoner?" Lin Nian asked.

"No, I am inclined to think that she met the prisoner, just in a short period of time." Lin Xian shook his head and said, "I have seen patients who miss their old friends. After a long period of separation, the strong longing from the beginning will inevitably follow. The passage of time has diluted it, and even if she still cares about her, she won't care that she loses focus during chats, or frequently sees things and misses people. This situation only occurs with people she has met or spoken to recently. "

"Interesting judgment." Lin Nian glanced at Lin Xian and felt inexplicably that his sister was really good at this job. At least she was much better at analyzing clues in detail than he was.

"Actually, I have other feelings." Lin Xian touched the photo frame, closed his eyes, and gently placed his hand on the bar, stroking the texture of the wooden bar, "If I were her, she would often stay here. If it's a bar, then she would often sit at the same spot at the counter where she just sat. Why would she sit there? Because in her memory, there is always another person behind the bar doing something. She will do it for this The person prepares wine. Yes, hard liquor, preferably whiskey or vodka. After mixing the wine, ask him to drink. He will sit where you are now. This position is the best place to chat. They will chat. What should I say? She was very sad so he must have said something very bad. Like "

"I won't stay here for long, I will leave here, and I need your help, Letty." She opened her eyes and said, but her tone was very much like another person.

Lin Nian looked sideways at Lin Xian and was slightly startled. Because he had seen the girl in this state before, in another girl. In Yelena's body, just standing in an environment Being able to deduce what happened here based on all the details captured, and even restore some close conversations, this ability seems to be called "profile"?
