The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 391

In the old town of S City, in front of a house that looked a little dilapidated.

Standing at the door of the house, Casey narrowed his eyes, looking at the rusty house number.

Logan told Casey that the person who knew the news about Guanling lived here. After two days of observation, Casey had confirmed that someone lived here.

Moreover, with Jeremiah's strength in S City, Casey found out the information of the person living here.

The owner of this house was named Freddie, who moved to S City 20 years ago. Before coming to S City, Freddie used to be a well-known businessman in a first-tier city in the south.

At that time, Freddie was very excellent and got married with a very famous actress in the entertainment industry at that time.

But the good days didn't last long. Not long after the two got married, one day, the actress finished filming and went home. Then she died in a car accident on the way home. Because the car was on fire, Freddie didn't even get his wife's body.

Later, based on the situation at the time, someone speculated that the actress might not have died in the car, but was taken away. Because nothing like ashes was found on the car, which basically proved that there was no one on the car at that time. The accident was deliberately forged.

At that time, the incident became a hot spot in society. The police dispatched a lot of people to look for the whereabouts of the actress. They searched for half a year but still didn’t get any clues. Many people would rather believe that the actress was burned in the car. No ashes were found at that time just because the technology at that time was not so good enough.

Of course, some people suspected that this actress was abducted into a poor place by human traffickers. But the surveillance technology and detection technology 20 years ago were not good, so the possibility of finding this actress was slim.

As the husband of this actress, Freddie was naturally anxious. He deeply loved his wife. He had always believed that his wife was not dead but was arrested. He spent a lot of money searching his wife’s whereabouts.

It was precisely because of the search regardless of the cost that the originally rich Freddie faced a break in the capital chain. His company’s business was unable to continue. He had to sell his company and all his property to come to S City. Then he bought a decent house in this area and used the remaining money to continue looking for his wife.

It was a pity that after 20 years, Freddie still had not found any clues about his wife. Because of this incident, he had become grumpy, which was quite different from the previous him.

This was the information about Freddie that Jeremiah collected. This information was not different from what Logan told Casey at the time, but was more detailed.

At that time, Logan said that Guanling was like a paradise for the rich. There were various entertainment methods to satisfy these rich people. There must be many people who were very interested in those famous female stars. It was normal that they sent some people to catch a few female stars.

Freddie searched for so many years. He should know something. At least what Logan knew about Guanling was that he heard from Freddie.

As long as these were not made up by Freddie himself, he should have been to Guanling or had contact with people in Guanling.

But Casey was more inclined to the second possibility. After all, Logan also said that none of the people who entered Guanling came out alive. Freddie was still alive now, which clearly showed that he had never been to Guanling.

In any case, Casey must see Freddie and communicate effectively with him. Only then did Casey know whether Freddie knew where Guanling was.

Casey walked up to knock on the door. After a while, a low and hoarse voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

"I have something to ask Freddie." Casey said.

"Get out of here. Don’t use your clumsy acting skills to fool me. I won't open the door. You are loan sharks and are not protected by the law. I borrowed it by myself. Why do I have to pay it back?" The person inside seemed to be fearless.

After Casey heard this, he was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect to be treated as a loan shark.

Why did this person sound cheeky?

"I think you have misunderstood. I’m not a loan shark. I heard about you from my friend. I want to ask you about something." Casey said.

There was a hole in the door. Casey noticed that there was one eye looking outside from the hole, and then the door was opened.

Inside stood a sloppy man with messy hair and beard. It seemed that the man hadn't shaved his beard for months. He looked haggard, but his eyes shone with shrewd light.

"Are you Freddie?" Casey asked.

"It's me. What’s up?" Freddie took a look at Casey and said impatiently.

"Hear is the thing..." Casey was about to speak.

At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the alley nearby and rushed towards the door of Freddie's house.

When Freddie saw this, he was so frightened that he wanted to close the door. At this moment, a man who ran quickly held the door and shouted at the people behind, "Come here. I get the door. Damn it! He can’t run away this time!"

The people behind soon followed and rushed into Freddie's house.

Freddie hurriedly turned around and ran towards the back, but those people immediately pressed him to the ground. Several of them took out the rope and directly tied him up.

"Fuck off. Let me go. You broke in my house. I’ll call the police!" Freddie shouted hysterically.

"You fucking have a face to call the police? You owe us 300,000 dollars. It’s us who should call the police, right?" A man slapped Freddie on the face.

"You are loan sharks. I'm just collecting evidence for the police to expose you. I tell you that I have become an informant for the police. If you don't let me go, just wait to be a dead meat!" Freddie exclaimed.

"Bluffing. Become a police informant? So funny. They will only think that you are crazy!"

Casey looked at the situation inside and guessed that these people should be loan sharks.

Casey couldn't help but feel funny. Freddie really dared to say anything in order not to repay the loan shark.

At this moment, a bald guy with a scar on his face came here, holding a machete in his hand.
