On Sunday night, two days later, a somewhat tired Carter stepped out of the steam locomotive, looked around, and walked towards a dilapidated car parked on the side of the road.
He was no longer the branch president of the Ilian Association last year, and this position was handed over to another person. He spent most of the time at home, and his mental condition was not very good, especially after Dulin left Ilian. He often had auditory and visual hallucinations late at night. The doctor at Ilian's side said that he had been subjected to very severe stimulation, which caused abnormalities in his cerebral cortex, so he would experience some abnormal conditions.
Later, Du Lin learned about this and asked him to go to the Imperial Capital to check. At first, Carter was unwilling to check. He felt that there was not much problem with his current situation. Although it sometimes causes certain troubles in life, as long as he is locked in the bedroom at night, he will not hurt anyone. Regarding this negative attitude, Dulin asked Jose to take him on a ferry to the Imperial Capital. After going through the best examination plans of the three hospitals in the Imperial Capital, all three hospitals came up with the same results.
Carter had a tumor in his head. Because Carter refused to undergo puncture surgery, it was not clear whether the tumor was benign or malignant.
In fact, there is not much difference whether it is benign or malignant, because the hospital also said that the tumor is already as thick as a thumb, and the success rate of surgical removal is very low. The brain has always been the most complex and fragile part of the human body. No doctor in any hospital can guarantee that such an operation will be successful. The highest success rate is only 30%. There is a small chance that Carter can survive on the operating table, but there is no guarantee whether or how long he can continue to live in the future.
Carter himself didn't seem to care at all about this bad news. In fact, from the time his wife and children left the world because of the Fullers family, he had planned to follow his wife and children out of the world.
Dulin rescued him, gave him the opportunity for revenge, and also allowed him to find the meaning of life, which was the hometown association and his other child.
But now Gou Ri's life was about to take away his life again, but he didn't care at all. In fact, in his own heart, he was already dead that night in the gardener's house. Now he has a lot of savings, almost 200,000 yuan. His children have also gone to middle school and can live independently. With this money and the care of Du Lin and the hometown association, he no longer needs to worry about anything for his children. He also believed that if something happened to his child, Du Lin would definitely lend a helping hand.
So when Du Lin assigned him a task, he agreed without hesitation. This would be a "suicidal" assassination.
"The boss went to the resettlement area... where the refugees built the city. It's not suitable for him to stay here now, so I can only pick you up." Ellis drove the car seriously. Dulin left yesterday morning. , but also told him Carter’s mission. He was not a young man who was good at using words to express his inner feelings. He actually wanted to say something to comfort Carter, but he couldn't find any sentence that made him feel like he meant it, so he could only remain silent as much as possible.
Carter nodded and said he understood. Dulin had made it clear on the phone that no matter whether he succeeded or not this time, Dulin promised to take good care of his child and let the guy have a happy life. Carter still believed in Dulin on this point. His only request was that the child should live well and be an ordinary person.
The dull atmosphere in the car continued until outside a small hotel near the First Ring Road. Carter would stay here for one night and then assassinate Memnon at the meeting held in Memnon tomorrow morning.
The two walked into the hotel on the squeaky floorboards, walked through the dim corridor, and opened a room door. The guest room looked well decorated, but it couldn't stop the musty smell coming from behind the wall panels and the black color coming through the wallpaper. This is a very ordinary room in a very ordinary small hotel. In order to avoid any accidents, Carter will rest here tonight.
Ellis placed the suitcase in his hand on the only small round table in the room, and then opened it. There were two thick thread-bound books inside, as well as some documents that looked like they were valuable. He picked up one of the wire-bound books tied with a cable tie, removed the tie and opened it. On the outside it looks like a complete book, but in fact many pages have been hollowed out, and a pistol lies quietly inside. There are two magazines in another book. They are separated to avoid being too heavy together and making the person responsible for security want to take them apart and take a look.
Ellis took out an invitation letter and put it on the table. "This is the invitation letter to enter the venue tomorrow morning. You must show this invitation letter to enter. There will be security personnel checking the things you bring before entering." It’s a simple inspection, so don’t go too early. If you go early, there won’t be many people, and their inspection will be more careful. Don’t go too late, as the work will end soon, and they will become more serious.”
"When there are a lot of people showing up together, it's better if you can jump in and they won't check too closely."
After finishing speaking, Ellis took out a document bag in the alley, which contained more than 20 photos. "These are photos from the venue. The seat we arranged for you is in the middle of the second row, right next to each other." At that position, you can see Memnon's entire body clearly, and the distance is sixteen meters. You choose the time you think is the best. I have a suggestion..." Ellis took out a black copy. The envelope was also placed on the table.
"During the conference, there will be many times when the slides are shown, and the lights will be temporarily turned off at that time, which lasts about six minutes. This is the best opportunity. The dim light can prevent many people from seeing your small movements. They won't start screaming before you even shoot."
"There will be about twenty to thirty bodyguards at the venue, but they will not appear on the stage. The nearest one is several meters away from Memnon. If... you can, it is best to get out of there alive."
Carter smiled and said nothing. When he came from Ilian, he had no intention of going back alive. Anyway, he was a person who didn't have many days to live. The tumor in his head continued to grow at an alarming rate. Some doctors I think this tumor may be more malignant. Rather than lying on the hospital bed and dying in torture one day, it is better to exchange your own life for your child's lifelong happiness.
He tried it with the gun and fired it twice with an empty chamber. The crisp metal impact proved that there was nothing wrong with the gun. After checking the nature and the ammunition supply again, he returned them to their original places, retied the zip ties, and put them back into the suitcase. Then he checked everything, including the photos of the scene. After going over tomorrow's plan in his head, he raised a new question, one that was not included in the question Dulin told Ellis. question.
"Should I keep this black post on myself, or should I keep it near Memnon?"
This is indeed a question. Ellis opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer. In the end, he was so angry that he ran out and made a phone call to find the answer. "The boss said that as long as it is placed in a conspicuous place, it can prove that Memnon died." As long as the black post has something to do with it.”
"I understand, you go back, I need to rest for a while." Carter burned some sensitive things, packed other things and packed the box, showing a smile, "You will make me happy here. Get nervous, don’t worry, I’m fine!”
Ellis didn't know what to say, so he could only nod, patting his butt with both hands irritably. He sighed, turned around, left quickly, and closed the door.
Carter calmly walked to the bed and did it, and then slowly lay on the bed. He showed a look of pain from time to time. The thing in his head has been tormenting him. It used to be hallucinations, but now it's constant pain. In the past, the doctor prescribed some painkillers for him. Those small pills were very effective. After taking them, he felt much better. But when the effects of the medicine wore off, the sudden severe pain made him worse than death, and he decided not to take any painkillers again.
How could the pain surpass the pain of losing his wife and daughter
He became a little numb in the pain, and even adapted to the ever-present pain. It was just that the pain level had increased recently, but this was not a problem.
The sky gradually turned dark, night fell, and the deep night enveloped Vanlier, making everything here become silent.
At 8:45 the next morning, Carter appeared on time outside the Opera House in Van Leer with a suitcase in hand. Because Memnon invited many mine owners this time, the conference room of the city hall could not accommodate so many people, so he temporarily rented the Verrier Opera House. At this time, there were many vehicles parked in the nearby open space, and the dignified mine owners kept arriving one after another, causing some citizens to stay nearby for a while.
At 8:55, the flow of people began to increase. Carter walked around the flower bed and walked towards the gate with his head held high. He was wearing very expensive clothes and looked no different from the mine owners around him. The temperament he developed when he was the branch president in Ilian made him look more distinguished than the mine owners around him.
"Hello, in order to ensure safety during the conference, please open your suitcase and we will do a simple inspection. If I have offended you, I hope you can forgive me."
Carter raised his head slightly and snorted, "Check it..."
