章節 5: Chapter 5

Vergil went for his piece but Hogan already had his up, aimed straight at Vergil’s heart. His hands were not shaking and those emerald eyes were narrowed to slits. “Vergil, you snake.”

“What the hell are you doing here?”

“What am I doing here? What are you doing here? We had a deal.”

Vergil kicked the door shut behind him and Hogan’s aim didn’t even falter.

“What you thought I was going to let you handle it? It is a murder investigation, I can’t just hand it off to the mob and hope for the best.”

“Horsefeathers. If you gave a damn about the murder you wouldn’t be here, you’d be back in Arkham or heading further upriver, trying to find my stolen boat.”

“Smugglers don’t pick up hitchers and ships small enough to run up the Miskatonic don’t got the space for a big crew. I find out who was on the boat when it left, mark Louis off that list and what is left are my suspects. Your boat is just a thing. Things can be tossed aside. People are what matter.”
