Chapter 97 Constantine
Lei Rui called to stop him, leaving Diana here to familiarize himself with the environment, and he followed Mr. Hans to the market in the city.The liveliness here is comparable to that of the wharf area. Under the guidance of Hans, Lei Rui walked into a small alley, and the shops here seemed a little deserted. Only a few people came in and out from time to time, following a few steps The excitement outside forms two extremes.

What Lei Rui is looking for is precisely these places where antiques, cultural relics and all kinds of miscellaneous things are bought and sold. He wants to sell the gold and silver coins in his arms and exchange them for cash for daily use.

He walked around, picked out a store that didn't look like much, and opened the door casually.

Amidst the creaking sound, Lei Rui stepped in. The shop was very dim, with all kinds of sculptures and other debris piled up in disorder, like a real grocery store. At the end of the room, a small light bulb was lit, emitting a faint orange light. It was bright yellow, and there were two people who were trading there, a fat man sitting at the counter, and a young man outside, thin and handsome, with messy hair piled on his head, turning his head to look over.

In the young man's hand, he was holding something the size of a matchbox, which was placed next to his ear, as if he was listening to something. At this moment, he put it down slowly, looked back at Lei Rui, and then turned his head away. Seems to have lost interest in him.

"HELLO! Did I go to the wrong place?" Lei Rui asked at the door.

"No! No!" Sitting behind the counter, the big fat man shook his head again and again, laughing until there were only slits in his eyes, and said loudly, "Please come in, please come in, this Mr. Constantine is leaving , you came just in time, young man!"

Lei Rui frowned, no wonder he felt familiar with this handsome young man with a melancholy face and a bit of indifference and indifference, so he was Constantine!If Lei Rui guessed correctly, his name should be John Constantine!
It's that Hell Detective Constantine!

But this Mr. Constantine was a little dissatisfied with the big fat man's statement. He turned his head to look at Lei Rui, pointed at the big fat man with his hand, and said to Lei Rui: "Sorry! My business is not over yet! Can you wait outside the door Or, if you insist, you can wait here."

"It's okay! I'll just take a look here!" Lei Rui waved his hand and said, the opened shop door automatically closed with a bang.

Although Constantine spoke very politely, his tone was not very friendly, but Lei Rui didn't care, and didn't mean to go out and wait at all.

Constantine squinted his eyes, turned his head slightly to the left, and asked bluntly, "Do I know you? Young man? Or does this Father Hannessy know you?"

This was obviously because he was dissatisfied that Lei Rui didn't leave the door and interrupted his business with Father Hannessy.

"No, you probably don't know me." Lei Rui said with a smile, "Actually, I just came to ask if antiques are accepted here, real antiques!"

The light in the room was very dim, Lei Rui's perception value was as high as 211, and he could clearly see Constantine's eyes narrowing and his brows tightening, but Father Hannasey took the lead and replied: "Yes, young man, you are looking for the right place Yes, this place specializes in buying and selling antiques. Those British gentlemen are regular customers here. Look here, there are collected antiques everywhere. Let me see, young man, what do you have in your hand? thing?"

This place is like a general store full of low-quality antiques. Lei Rui didn't even look at the piles of sculptures and porcelain beside him. He walked over and stood beside Constantine.

Constantine was holding a large matchbox with strange symbols in his hand. On the counter between the two of them, there was also a strange-looking thing, a bit like a gun, with a chopstick It has a long barrel, a rotating wheel seat similar to a rotating mobile phone, and a trigger, but Lei Rui is sure that this is not a pistol.

"That's it!" Lei Rui said, without looking at these weird looking things, he handed over two coins.

A gold coin and a silver coin are both irregular round shapes.The silver coin is slightly larger. On the front is the head of the lion-skin helmet of Hercules, the greatest hero in Greek mythology; on the back is a sitting statue of Zeus holding an eagle in one hand and a scepter in the other.

The gold coin is slightly smaller, with Athena's Collins helmet head on the front; on the back, the two-winged goddess Naik is standing with a cross in one hand and a wreath in the other, and the king's name "Alexander" is also on the right.

Lei Rui didn't know the words on the coin, which were all told by Diana, as well as the legends and stories of Athena, Hercules and the two-winged goddess Nike.

Father Hannessy didn't look like a priest at all. He was fat and big-eared, and his head was almost bald. When he saw the two coins, his eyes widened a lot, and he squinted and opened them all at once. Come on, the real thing is to see the money.

What was even more surprising was that Constantine, who seemed to be indifferent to everything in front of him, narrowed his eyes and moved faster than Father Hannessy. He snatched the gold coin into his hand, looked at it over and over, and then sank after half the payment. He asked, "Is this real gold?"

"You have to ask this Alexander the Great!" Lei Rui said teasingly, pointing to the words "Alexander" on the coin.

"Oh!" Constantine was so thick-skinned that he didn't even have the slightest blush, and he rolled the gold coin between his fingers, "That's a good idea. Well, young man, let's find a client for you, you pay How about our commission?"

"Okay!" Lei Rui stretched out his hand, pinched it casually, and took the gold coin from Constantine's fingers, and said lightly, "You pay me a deposit, and take this silver coin to find the customer , I will pay you a 10% commission after the matter is completed, gentlemen, how much you can sell depends on your ability."

Constantine was still staring at his fingers in a daze, and then at the gold coin in Lei Rui's hand. He was surprised that Lei Rui could take the gold coin away under his nose, every movement , he could see it all, but he just didn't react at all, he just didn't react.

Father Hannessy held the silver coin tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that Lei Rui would also take it back. He stared at Lei Rui closely without saying a word.Constantine finally looked away from his fingers, took out a pack of cigarettes, poured out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said casually: "No, 20%!"

Lei Rui shook his head, stretched out his hand, spread it out in front of Father Hannessy, and replied: "15%! If you are not satisfied, please return the silver coin to me, and I will go find someone else."

"Deal!" Constantine said bluntly, with a flick of his right hand, the lighter snapped open, a flame lit up, and the cigarette was lit.

During the whole process, Father Hannessy was like a handyman, while Constantine seemed to be in charge, and he had the final say on everything.As soon as Constantine said the deal was done, Father Hannessy immediately put on a smile on his fat face, reached under the counter and fumbled for a long time, and took out a stack of banknotes.

"No dollars?" Lei Rui said very sophisticatedly.

He has already figured out that in London, the capital of the British Empire, the dollar is more popular than the pound sterling, which has declared unabashedly that London is losing its position as the center of the world, while the hegemony of the dollar is rising.

Constantine didn't say anything, just puffed out the smoke there, and his movements were very skillful and graceful. Father Hannessy took back the stack of pounds, took out a stack of colorful dollars again, and said to Lei Rui: "Here is 100 dollars. As a deposit, how should we notify you after we find a customer?"

"I will come to see you every day," Lei Rui replied, "If you are in a hurry to find me, you can leave me a message at Sir Derek's Stone Castle Villa, gentlemen, happy cooperation!"

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Father Hannessy and Constantine respectively, and was about to say goodbye when the door of the small shop was pushed open suddenly, and a figure rushed in, bumping into one or the other along the way, making a burst of thumping There was a sound of ping-pong-pong, shouting loudly: "John! John! There is a big deal! Someone has been possessed by a demon!"
