coincide
John frowned, he didn't believe in coincidences.
Brian didn't believe it either.
And McCall
Also do not believe.
After the three men interlocked their eyes, they looked at Jason again.
Jason, on the other hand, got up and walked to the study and bedroom, took out the letters written by the three of them, put them on the small round coffee table, and pushed his fingers to the positions close to the three of them.
"Are you sure you wrote this?"
Jason asked.
John, Brian, and McCall picked up the letter and began to check and read it.
The movements are different because of habits, but everyone takes due care and caution.
"Um."
"no problem."
"I wrote it."
In the end, the three of them nodded together and said almost in unison.
Then, all three of them were taken aback.
This time, the three of them realized something was wrong without Jason saying anything.
The three of them wrote to Jason at the same time
wrong!
To be more precise, the three of them actually 'notice' Jason.
"You also saw the notice on the bulletin board?"
Brian looks at John, McCall.
"Um."
John nodded.
McCall took out his notebook, flipped through it, and placed it in the center of the coffee table.
In the notepad I was flipping through, there was a photo, and the content of the photo was a notice—
Everyone:
I need some quirky stories to inspire.
Do you have any
If so, please let me know.
I am in room 313 of apartment 3A.
Tel: 0054444944
Jason
99.7.10
…
The angle of the photo is quite good, and the picture is very clear.
Jason looked at the photo carefully.
There is no such photo in his memory.
But this photo is where it all started.
Jason looked at John and Brann, and the two looked affirmative, telling Jason that they also saw this notice.
"Then can you tell me why you decided to write to me when you saw this notice?"
Jason continued to ask.
His eyes swept over the three men.
There is no doubt that the three men in front of them are not ordinary people.
The appearance of one at random can cause a bloodbath.
What if the three come together
As long as there is enough preparation, it is not too difficult to destroy a city.
But because of this, Jason became more and more curious.
Why did his mediocre announcement attract three people.
"My wife just passed away and I wanted someone to talk to."
"It just so happens that you showed up, Jason, and you're still renting in my apartment."
"I looked into you, a writer who kept his promise, and a good confidant."
John was the first to speak.
The previous events were enough for him to have a deep understanding of Jason, and made him willing to trust Jason.
What's more, he owed Jason a favor.
"I'm anxious and irritable because of Kemi's affairs."
"So, I also hope to find someone to talk to."
"And when I saw this notice, I subconsciously had the idea that I wanted to talk to you."
Brian then said.
Like John, Brian is willing to trust Jason.
You know, Jason saved his daughter.
McCall is different from John and Brian.
Although he only met Jason once, his inner sense of justice made McCall speak out.
"I don't want anything to happen to you, Jason."
"I have read "Cross Street Stalker". You are a good writer. Although the writing is not top-notch, the content of the story is also lacking, and the logic is not smooth, but you really worked hard."
McCall said, showing a cheering smile to Jason.
Jason responded with a smile.
Apart from smiling, he really didn't know what expression to show.
Could it be explained that it was not written by the current 'I', but by the previous 'I'? Moreover, the current 'I' is not as good as the previous 'I'
Leaving aside such an explanation, Jason couldn't say whether the three people in front of him would believe it.
Definitely not ashamed to admit that he is not as good as 'him' before!
It's just a little embarrassing.
"McCall, I can't thank you enough."
Jason said solemnly.
"You're welcome."
McCall responded.
Then, Jason looked at John.
"You investigated me before and came up with your opinion on my commitment... Is such an investigation difficult?"
Jason asked.
"It's not difficult."
"Actually, there are rumors in your circle of book friends that you were able to write such a story because you had contact with some special people, but later you seemed to be arrogant and wanted to write in a real sense Your own story, but unfortunately, your talent and ability are not enough for you to write such a story, so you are silent."
John said truthfully.
"is that so?"
Jason whispered to himself, and after a pause, he suddenly asked, "When did you read my book? Was it before you saw the notice, or after it?"
"Before the announcement."
John was the first to answer.
"Well, I was before."
Brian nodded along.
"Same."
"I saw it about a year ago, when I just 'retired' and became a private detective. Naturally, I became interested in similar novels, and your novel happened to be popular at the time. , I bought a copy at the bookstore."
McCall's answer should be more specific. After he gave an affirmative answer, he immediately described it.
"My novel is popular?"
Jason frowned.
It is not surprising that novels are popular. What is strange is that a writer like him who has only written one fairly best-selling book in ten years and has been questioned in recent years has begun to be popular.
Merchants seek profit!
This is nature!
To put it simply, it's not too early to be profitable.
What good does it do them to promote a book by a dead author
unless…
Someone gave them a favor.
Thinking of this, Jason stood up and walked towards the phone.
Although his phone is a landline, it has the function of saving incoming calls. Soon, he found the phone record of the editor, and without picking up the phone, he turned on the speakerphone and called back.
Beep, beep.
After just two calls, the editor picked up the phone.
"Jason, have you finished writing?"
"If it's finished, fax it over."
"The post office is too slow."
"It's the end of the month soon, you promised me, don't forget."
As soon as the phone was connected, the editor said like a cannonball.
"Not yet, I..."
"You don't want to ask for leave, do you?"
"Tell you, it's impossible!"
"Your vacation is over!"
"Don't make any excuses!"
"Give me honestly to write the manuscript!"
The editor almost yelled out the last sentence, and the speakerphone was buzzing.
John, Brian, and McCall's eyes intertwined, and there was a hint of fun in their eyes.
It was the first time for the three men to see the editor urging manuscripts.
Cammy and Terry, who had been staying in the study and bedroom, also probed their brains to check.
Jason was watched by many eyes, but he was calm and composed.
Him, Jason, the foodie... part-time writer.
Foodies first.
The writer follows.
Although he didn't write a real work, but he ate a lot!
Moreover, with the identity of a writer, is it possible to collect songs normally
Isn't it normal to eat, drink and drink while gathering folk songs
"I'm out of inspiration."
"Need to adopt (chi) wind (he)."
"Also, I haven't been sleeping well lately."
Jason answered like this.
"Not allowed!"
"You have to remember, you are a ruthless coding machine!"
"No need to collect wind, just code words!"
"As for sleeping?"
"remember!"
"Dead people need sleep!"
"As long as you don't sleep, you have 24 hours a day to write!"
The editor continued to growl.
"oh."
"More than a year ago, why did Cherry City push my book?"
Jason was perfunctory.
"Is your book popular in Cherry City?"
"Jason, are you really awake?"
"Don't fantasize about these useless things, hurry up and work hard to write the manuscript is the kingly way!"
"Remember the end of the month!"
"I'm going to urge a few more guys now!"
After finishing editing, I hung up the phone.
The hands-free light also disappears.
Jason turned to look at John, Brian, and McCall.
At this time, the faces of the three men were all a little serious.
Haven't contacted the publisher's editor's hot push
Then it could only be Cherry City's private behavior.
And such behavior
It's for them!
The three men affirmed this almost instinctively.
From Jason's arrival in Cherry City to the appearance of the 'imitator', it was just a part of the opponent's plan to lure them all out!
As for why
They already had a guess in their hearts.
Immediately McCall sat up straight and was about to speak.
But at this moment, Brian waved his hand to stop it.
Brian stood up and walked towards the bedroom-study door.
"Cami, you and Teri go back to your room."
Brian said, blocking Cammy's curious gaze.
If it was before, Cammy would definitely have resisted her father's 'tyranny', but after going through the previous kidnapping, Cammy was much more sensible, nodded, and took Teri back to the room, and, very well-behaved Closed the door.
Of course, behind the door, Cammy put his ear directly to the door.
She is curious.
Teri was just as curious.
Such a move did not deceive Brian, he gestured to the remaining three men to lower his voice.
"You are a good father."
When Brian sat back down, McCall admired.
"Just make up."
Brian sighed.
Then, his voice became lower.
"You know, I used to be so focused on my career that I neglected my family."
"When I retire, all I have left is to make up."
"So, I won't allow anyone to hurt my family!"
Such a voice more or less resonated with John and McCall.
"Um."
"Now there's a guy who's designing us."
"Moreover, our family or the most important things have been endangered."
"What's more, I'm sure he wants more than that."
McCall nodded.
John clenched his fists.
He thought of Daisy.
Brian's daughter is back, but what about his Daisy
His Daisy is dead!
He vowed to avenge Daisy.
Now that there is a new target... let's kill him!
A trace of killing intent began to appear on John's body, and the other three men in the room immediately sensed this killing intent.
"Calm down, John."
"That guy won't go far."
McCall comforted John.
Brian remained silent.
His daughter was rescued, but John's Daisy was not.
At this time, it was not appropriate for him to speak.
John's breath subsided slightly.
Brian and McCall were slightly relieved. At this moment, what they were most worried about was that John would not be calm and would startle the snake.
After all, the goal is too clear.
The reasons for their appearance are different, but in the final analysis, they still only did one thing: kill Aimode.
Ahmed has many enemies.
There are more people who want to kill Ahmed.
but!
It's definitely not an easy guy who started the layout more than a year ago and lured Jason here without a sound.
Not only patience, but ability must also be quite outstanding.
Moreover, it will also benefit from Aimode's death.
Vested interests, even if they are not the murderer, are related to the murderer!
All three of them have such a simple concept in their hearts.
And it just so happens that among Aimode's enemies, there really is such a person.
Brian and McCall looked at each other.
The two said the name almost at the same time—
"Dodd!"
Jason frowned.
The time he came here was too short, less than a day.
He didn't know much about Cherry City.
"Can you tell me about this Dodd?"
Jason asked.
"certainly."
After Brian and McCall looked at each other, the latter said immediately.
"Dodd, the speaker of Cherry City, belongs to the real big man, and is Ling Aimode's real enemy."
"It's also the person that Aimode hates to the bone."
"Dodd has blocked Ahmed from entering Parliament on more than one occasion."
"However, don't expect Dodd to be a good person. He stopped Aimode just because of political differences."
McCall stood up.
Staying here is also guesswork.
Now that the goal of 'Dodd' appeared, he wanted to try his luck.
John and Brian also stood up.
They also think the same way.
"etc."
At this moment, Jason, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly spoke up.
Immediately, Jason once again attracted the attention of the three men.
"Dodd should be Emmaud's enemy."
"But don't you find it strange?"
"In order to get rid of Aimode, his layout attracted the three of you, isn't it too overkill?"
"Also, Ahmod and Dodd should be at a disadvantage when they confront each other?"
"Is it really necessary for him to arrange such a big situation to get rid of someone who is not as good as him?"
Jason asked while sitting in the sofa chair.
John, Brian, and McCall frowned, and the three stopped at the same time.
They didn't refute Jason's words.
Because, that's what it is.
But in this way...
Who actually arranged it
Subconsciously, the three looked at Jason who was sitting there.
Jason said unhurriedly—
"Let's think about it, if the three of you go to investigate Dodd, and then fight to kill Dodd, then... who will be the biggest beneficiary of this battle?"
