Smoke and alcohol, noise and excitement. Amid the revelry, Boston Bro moved the poker cards in his hand little by little.
It was a simple poker game called Baccarat, which was also the most popular game among gamblers.
"The dealer wins."
However, following the dealer's merciless judgment, Boston Bro had no choice but to sweep away the poker cards in front of him in a discouraged manner. After throwing away his last chip, he left in a huff.
Without a doubt, not only did he not win anything tonight, he even lost everything, including the 50,000 that Boss Arnold had just transferred to him.
"Sh * t!"
Boston Bro punched the wall next to him, feeling extremely irritated. Now, he was penniless.
Boston Bro quickly left the private casino, but when he left the alley, he encountered the scene of people from other gangs peddling drugs.
Boston's appearance immediately made the two men from the vendors nervous and fierce. As for the customer who bought the drugs, he panicked and ran away at once.
"Hey, don't be nervous. I'm just passing by." Boston raised his hands slightly.
"Friend, you just ruined our business. Do you know how much we lost?" One of the men sneered.
Boston's eyes narrowed, but he saw a small sealed bag on the ground — it was the strange blue powder left on the ground by the person who ran away in a panic.
Poston could only curse his bad luck. He knew what these two fellows were selling here — because he was also one of the sellers of this kind of medicine. However, because of Arnold's prohibition, he didn't sell much of the batch of goods he had obtained back then.
In a situation of two against one, the two men obviously did not intend to chat with Boston. They came up and beat him up fiercely.
However, Boston was the best fighter in his gang. Otherwise, he would not have been the big brother of the gang before Arnold's arrival.
After paying a price, Poston successfully beat the two guys to the ground, the kind that couldn't get up from the ground.
Poston wiped the corner of his mouth. It was damaged, and there was blood flowing out. Boston fiercely spat a mouthful of saliva on one of them.
Seeing the two fellows fall to the ground and unable to get up, Poston suddenly had an evil thought. He directly looted all the money on these two people, including the medicine that was being transported out to be sold. Only then did he quickly leave, walking out of the alley in a few steps.
However, just as he walked out of the alley, he quickly rushed back in the next moment.
Without a doubt, Boston was a very cruel and bold guy, so he chose to silence them … A ferocious look kept flashing in Boston's eyes.
He quickly dragged the two unconscious men out of the alley. Then, he drove the car that was parked nearby. At the back of the car, there were a few big bags, hemp rope, and other tools in the alley.
He tied them up, put them in the bags, and then drove away. Boston familiarly came to a riverside, then put the bags into the river, and finally pushed the bags into the river.....
After doing all this, Boston was already drenched. He panted and looked around. Because it was already late at night, there should be no one nearby.
Boston took a last look at the clock tower across the river — this was a building on the university campus, the university where Arnold studied.
Boston quickly left this place. Before returning to his nest, he counted the money he got from the robbery — it was not a small amount, more than 100,000 yuan. Boston could not help but laugh happily.
In this way, not only could he make up for Arnold's 50,000 yuan, but he also made a lot of money — Boss Boston was secretly happy, and at the same time, he picked up the drugs that were also robbed: bath salts.
Boston picked up a small bag of bath salts and looked at it again and again. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind: These things are so valuable … Why not sell them now?
Boston's gaze gradually changed. He held the money he got from the robbery with both hands, and this batch of bath salts … He knew that there were more of these things in his nest.
"I should have sold them … Sh * t Arnold!"
Boston suddenly felt that he had figured it out.
…
…
"… We, dearly miss Dr. Franky. He was so outstanding."
In an auditorium of the university, a middle-aged man was giving a speech with a heavy tone.
On the curtain of the auditorium stage, Dr. Franky's life was being played by a projector.
In the corner of the second floor of the auditorium, there was a sudden voice — of course, it was not the voice that attracted the attention of everyone present, but just a low voice of conversation.
"Oh, I hate this kind of formality."
The speaker was wearing a hat and sunglasses, and even wrapped his chin with a scarf in the hot weather. Only some parts of his face could be seen — but there was no doubt that this person was an old man.
And the one standing beside him was Mr. Orfey. At this time, facing the complaint of the speaker, Mr. Orfey could only helplessly say, "This is spontaneous. To be honest, even I have no way to refuse it."
"You will never know how it feels to see a group of people mourning for you." He pointed at the picture on the screen, "I'm standing right here."
"Father …" Mr. Orfey wanted to say something.
But he … Dr. Franky waved his hand and shook his head, "I'm not so weak that I need you to comfort me. I'm not sick now, so you don't have to explain anything to me."
As he said, Dr. Franky sighed with mixed feelings, with a bit of self-mockery, "It's quite funny. I've been dealing with science all my life. If I had to choose a religion, it would definitely be physics. But I didn't expect that in the end, I'm still alive because of unnatural forces. Now, even if I'm sober and rational, I still can't accept the change in my worldview … Orfey, maybe you did something very wrong. "
Mr. Orfey did not answer, but just looked at the screen in front of him. The students and teachers were reviewing Dr. Franky's life, and he was also reviewing his and his father's life.
Mr. Orfey suddenly said, "I don't regret it."
Dr. Franky's body trembled slightly, and he didn't say anything.
After a while, Dr. Franky shook his head. The reason why he came here was to retrieve some things that were full of memories for Dr. Franky from the school office — of course, these things were relics in the eyes of outsiders, so it was most appropriate for Mr. Orfey to come here.
After coming back from death, Dr. Franky also felt a lot of emotions. At this time, he also wanted to come back to the place where he started — because he knew that in the future, he probably wouldn't have many opportunities to act outside. After all, whether in the eyes of the law or the public, he had been defined as a 'dead man'.
"Let's go … I have to go back to that messenger before sunset, right? I suddenly feel like I'm being kept in captivity. "
"Father, please bear with it. I'll definitely find a solution." Mr. Orfey hurriedly said.
Dr. Franky shook his head, then put away his nostalgia for this place and turned to leave.
But after taking two steps, he stopped and looked at a side door of the auditorium. A figure quietly opened the door and walked in with a white rose in his hand.
Mr. Orfey's eyes were very sharp. At this time, he came forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
Dr. Franky hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "Orfey, I know this child … She may have some troubles. If there's a chance, can you help her?"
"Father?" Mr. Orfey was a little puzzled.
Dr. Franky smiled casually and said, "Just take it as a gift in return, although I didn't get to eat that piece of chocolate."
…
"… We are in great grief."
The broadcast was very loud, and when Caroline slowly pushed open the door and walked in, she almost got ringing in her ears.
She looked at the photo of Dr. Franky on the screen, and there was an inexplicable sadness and irritation in her heart — Not long ago, she did pour out her troubles with this old man who was mourned by everyone.
There was no consolation, no conclusion. It was just venting.
Perhaps, if she had done something at that time, this old man wouldn't have died … Just like the mother and her baby that she saved.
But, what could she do?
Arnaud should be sitting somewhere in this auditorium. Because Arnaud installed a GPS on her mobile phone, Caroline didn't bring her mobile phone with her when she came out. The purpose of coming here this time was clear to Caroline herself. She just suddenly wanted to offer a white rose to this old man whom she had met once.
Maybe it's just a thought of self-satisfaction … She didn't know, and at the same time, she didn't want to stay here for too long.
So after listening to a few words of speech, Caroline quietly put the white rose in her hand on the ground and then left quietly.
She didn't know if she would meet 403 on the way … She always felt that 403 had been observing her in the dark.
If she could meet 403, that would be the best because she suddenly had a question in her heart. She wanted to ask 403 … About Arnaud.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Caroline. It was a man's voice.
"The one in front, wait a minute."
Then he quickly walked up and came to Caroline … It was Mr. Orfey. "Please wait a minute, student."
Caroline saw Mr. Orfey's face clearly. She was slightly taken aback and said subconsciously, "Are you his son?"
The moment she touched Dr. Franky, she saw the moment of Dr. Franky's death. She also saw the two people standing next to Dr. Franky at that time — an adult and a child.
The adult's appearance completely overlapped with the man who stopped her now.
"You know me?" Mr. Orfey couldn't help but frown.
Caroline didn't know how to explain it. In fact, as a sex worker in the slums, she didn't care about any national affairs. Among the government officials, the most familiar one was probably the current president.
"En … I've heard of you." Caroline said casually … She felt that such words wouldn't pass.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Orfey didn't say anything and just nodded.
Because Mr. Orfey almost instantly found a reason that he thought was reasonable. Whether it was him or Dr. Franky, they were both public figures, and they were very famous. It was not surprising that the public knew about them.
What's more, this was the person that his father said to take care of.
"Student, do you know my father?" Mr. Orfey smiled, "I saw the white roses you put down."
Caroline shook her head, "In fact, we just met once and chatted for a while … I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. At that time, I didn't know that such a bad old man would be such a famous person."
Mr. Orfey frowned … Anyone who heard others say that their father was a bad old man would probably feel uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything. Then he quickly took out a card and handed it to Caroline.
"This is?" Caroline was a little puzzled.
Mr. Orfey said, "Consider it as a thank you. Thank you for the flowers you sent him. My personal assistant's phone number is on it. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can call this number directly. Just say 'Southern Cross' and he will know what to do. Generally, if it's not a big problem, he should be able to solve it. "
Since Dr. Franky is such a famous person, his son should also have a good background, right?
Caroline nodded subconsciously. She just didn't know if this guy could help her settle the crime of being a suspect in the Rivia Murder Case.
It shouldn't be … After all, it's a human life.
After Mr. Orfey left a card, he quickly left without saying anything to Caroline … Although he only left his secretary's phone number, it was enough to solve many things.
For Mr. Orfey, this was just a small matter to fulfill his father's instructions.
"Ridiculous …" Caroline shook her head and put the card into her pocket.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a woman quietly walk out not far away. Then, after the woman walked out, Caroline saw Arnaud walk out as well.
Arnold was talking to this woman about something … But Caroline suddenly gasped at this time!
She had seen this woman before … It was Lucas' girlfriend in the photo!
The distance was too far. Caroline couldn't hear what the two were talking about, but there was no doubt that this' Arnold 'knew Lucas' girlfriend!
However, when he came out of the masquerade party last time, 'Arnold' didn't show any signs of knowing Lucas' girlfriend at all …
— "It's just an invitation class. We met in class. We know him, but he doesn't know us …"
Haley was just replacing Arnold in campus activities. He wasn't a top student at all. He didn't know how to teach at all … Caroline's heart suddenly beat fast.
This' Arnold 'is the real Arnold!
When did he … switch again? Before the memorial service? Or earlier … Yesterday? The day before yesterday? These few days?
Caroline retreated slowly and cautiously, afraid that she would make a sound and attract Arnold's attention … She turned a corner, and then … then ran away like crazy.
She left the auditorium and ran completely out of the place where the auditorium was located. However, as she ran in a hurry, her heart beat faster as if it was about to jump out. She even heard her own violent heartbeat!
But Caroline suddenly bumped into something and had to stop.
It was 403!
He really followed me!
"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" 403 reached out to pull up Caroline, who had fallen to the ground, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
"I …"
The moment Caroline's hand touched 403, a flash of light occupied her vision.
It was dark all around … Boston … Big bag … Something was being dragged … By the river …
