After killing Dodd, who will be the biggest winner
John, Brian, and McCall were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up.
"Jason, you mean?"
McCall asked tentatively.
"There is no conclusion yet, it is just a direction, and it is still difficult to guarantee that the final result will be the same as we thought!"
"In fact..."
"There's a way to do it once and for all!"
Jason said and looked around the three men.
"any solution?"
Brian asked.
Among the four men, except for Jason, he is the one who wants the whole incident to end now.
Otherwise, his daughter Kami would always be in danger.
Thinking that his daughter might be in danger, Brian's heart was full of anxiety.
"We can't fix the problems, but we can fix the people who asked them."
"As long as all the people involved in this matter are killed, all problems will be solved."
Jason said so.
John nodded subconsciously when Jason's voice fell.
He approves of such an approach.
Clean and tidy is his style.
Brian frowned slightly, but then nodded.
Although this is not his style, but for his daughter, he is willing to try to change his style.
And McCall waved his hands again and again.
"Hey guys, don't do that."
"We can't do this!"
"We still have other ways to confirm Jason's thoughts—how about I act immediately? I promise that within three days, all investigations will be clear."
McCall looked at Jason, John, and Brian.
His inner persistence made him unable to accept this approach, even if it was the most direct and easy.
Moreover, he couldn't refuse directly and forcefully.
Because he was worried about angering the three men in front of him, and he couldn't bear the consequences.
As for turning around and leaving
Less likely!
Who knows what the three guys in front of him will do after he leaves
So, he asked and promised.
Under McCall's gaze, John hesitated, then looked directly at Jason.
The method was proposed by Jason, and he also approved it.
According to the rules, only Jason can raise the rejection now.
Same goes for Brian.
Certain rules of the underground world are always so similar, even if they are in different camps.
"give it to you!"
Jason said.
Jason didn't mind if someone offered to investigate.
He's not some masked murderer, how could he kill everyone
The words just now were just a temptation.
Just like he promised McCall at this moment.
trust
It cannot be established in a moment.
That would require countless trials.
McCall, who didn't know Jason's real thoughts at all, immediately breathed a sigh of relief after Jason agreed.
"I'll act right away."
"Help me take care of Teri."
After speaking, McCall walked to the door of the bedroom and study, and he knocked on the door.
Cammy and Terry, who were eavesdropping behind the door, were taken aback.
However, immediately, the two girls opened the door pretending to be okay.
"Terry, I need to do something, you live here temporarily."
"If you need anything, you can find Jason."
"He can be trusted."
McCall said bluntly.
John had investigated Jason, and of course he had.
Among Jason's many labels, the one of keeping promises is reassuring.
"okay, I get it."
"You, you have to be careful."
Hesitation and reluctance flashed in Terry's eyes, but in the end she nodded firmly.
She didn't want to get McCall in trouble.
Cammy on the side immediately took Teri's hand.
"Don't worry, I will be with you."
Cammy comforts Terry, who is younger than her.
Seeing this scene, McCall was completely relieved. After nodding to Jason and the three of them again, he pushed the door straight out, and the footsteps quickly disappeared.
"Next, what shall we do?"
Brian once again motioned for Cammy and Teri to return to the room, then asked Jason and John.
Kami dawdled and didn't want to close the door, she wanted to hear what her father and Jason were talking about.
It's a pity that the soundproofing of the rooms here is really good.
It was only through a door that I didn't hear anything.
Why does an apartment need such good sound insulation
Cammy thought angrily.
Then, she found Jason and John staring at her.
The gazes of both of them were indifferent and calm, especially Jason, there was something in his gaze that made her feel inexplicably stressed.
"Cami?"
Brian raised his voice this time.
"knew."
Cammy reluctantly agreed and closed the door.
But just as the door was about to close, Cammy stuck out his head and stuck out his tongue at Jason.
Then, the door closed with a bang.
Looking at the closed door, Cammy was annoyed, and folded his arms in front of his chest, while Terry walked over with two cups, and handed one of the cups to Cammy.
Cammy immediately gave a thumbs up.
Two girls held cups against the door, eavesdropping on the conversation outside.
"Sorry, I was too busy with work before, and Kemi has been living with my ex-wife."
Brian apologizes to Jason and John.
"Are you divorced?"
John asked suddenly.
"At that time, I didn't understand the importance of family."
"I regret it now."
"So, I've been making it up."
Brian sighed softly.
"At least, you still have a chance to make up for it."
After John finished speaking, he remained silent again.
Brian was equally silent.
Jason didn't break the silence right away. The two men, who look tough on the outside, have an unimaginable softness in their hearts. When they are touched, it is reasonable respect to give them some time.
After a few seconds, Brian was the first to recover.
"How do we do it?"
Brian asked again.
"Weapons, ammunition."
"Regardless of what McCall investigates, these are the things we need."
"There's also an investigation about McCall!"
Jason said, looking at Brian.
"Brian, I want you to look into the whole thing from other angles."
"From an angle that McCall couldn't have considered."
Jason exhorted.
"clear."
Brian nodded.
"Leave the weapons to me."
"I have channels."
John gave the promise directly.
"Compared to those, I think you should give me an extra room."
Jason pointed to the room not far away.
John, the landlord, understood right away.
"no problem."
As John said, he stood up and walked towards the phone.
Brian, who finished talking with his daughter, left 313 at this time.
Soon, the room was arranged.
It is also on the third floor, and it is next door on the other side: 312.
After Jason watched Cammy and Teri enter the room, he didn't return to the room. Instead, he motioned to John and walked straight downstairs.
He hadn't forgotten that crucial point in the whole thing.
…
Outside the interrogation room, David couldn't help but sighed as he watched the assistant Hunter's interrogation of the old butler Aimode.
His assistant is a very good young man, there is no doubt about it.
It can be called excellent among peers.
But still too young.
Some things will inevitably be impulsive.
Looking at the assistant who patted the table again, David knocked on the door.
The middle-aged police chief knew that he couldn't let his assistant continue the trial, and if it continued, there might be problems.
He didn't want any stains on his assistant's resume.
Boom, boom, boom!
After knocking on the door, the middle-aged police chief opened the door and entered.
"Hunter."
David looked at the young assistant who had stood up angrily, and couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Sheriff, I..."
"Go and wash your face."
"Leave it to me here."
David patted his assistant on the shoulder and said.
The young assistant nodded and walked out.
At this time, reason has returned to him, and he knows what kind of mistake he would have made if David hadn't appeared in time just now.
Beat the prisoner!
This is no small matter.
Especially when facing that guy.
Thinking of the guy he was interrogating just now, young Hunter had a toothache.
He has never encountered such a difficult opponent.
silence!
Since entering the interrogation room, he has been silent!
For two full hours, the other party didn't say a word, let alone make any request!
It seems to be dumb!
Thinking of this, the anger in his heart made Hunter frown.
Whoa, whoa!
Catching the cold water from the faucet with both hands, Hunter splashed it on his face.
The stimulation of the cold water made him calm down again.
Then, after wiping his face with a towel, Hunter quickly returned to the room next to the interrogation room after wiping his face with a towel. He wanted to see how David interrogated this difficult prisoner.
Interrogation room.
David looked at the middle-aged and elderly man in a tuxedo and white gloves with a smile on his face.
Even though the other party was sitting in the interrogation room, he still maintained a considerable demeanor.
Moreover, for two hours, the other party's back was straight, and he never leaned on the back of the chair or tilted his body from the beginning to the end.
Not to mention a gray-haired middle-aged and elderly person, even ordinary young people can't do this kind of demeanor.
"You are such a competent housekeeper."
"It's really admirable for me to be able to do this at your age."
The middle-aged sheriff began to praise habitually.
Hostility only brings vigilance.
Praise always has unexpected gains.
The middle-aged sheriff firmly believed in this.
"According to the information, are you a member of the 'Steward League'?"
"Can you tell me about this organization?"
"You know, my wealth makes me ineligible to face this organization, so I'm curious."
The middle-aged police chief asked with a smile, got up and walked to the water dispenser beside him, got a cup of warm water for the old butler of Aimode, and put it in front of him.
"Thanks."
Emmod's old butler thanked him immediately when the water glass was placed in front of him.
The body is slightly bowed, and the right hand is placed on the chest.
With a straight look, there is no rigid influence, but personable.
Then, he picked up the water glass and took a sip.
When the cup was put down, it was still in its original position, not bad at all, as if measured by a ruler.
"You're welcome."
The middle-aged sheriff responded with a smile.
Silence is only relative.
As long as you find the corresponding gap, you will naturally be able to break through the seemingly solid barriers.
In fact, the so-called barrier is not much stronger than a membrane.
They're all broken.
When that membrane is punctured, everything goes smoothly.
However, this requires skill.
David knew this truth very well, so after responding, he didn't press the old housekeeper right away, but started to read the information in front of him.
Fendert, male, 56 years old, was born in Cherry City in 1943.
Afterwards, the records of primary school, junior high school, high school, and even the "Butler Academy" are very clear.
The 56-year-old Fendilt has served two masters in total.
The first one was a man named 'Edward'. Unfortunately, this gentleman's business failed and he was unable to pay Fendert's remuneration. After nearly 30 years of cooperation, the two parties peacefully terminated the contract.
The second place is Emily.
This bastard was introduced to Fendilt two years ago.
It was also in the past two years that Aimo Deming's business became quite prosperous.
Many people are guessing that it has something to do with the help of the old housekeeper.
And the information in David's hands confirmed this point.
Having served that 'Edward' for 30 years as a housekeeper, Fendilt has not only accumulated a large number of contacts, but also has a considerable sense of business. He has given Emerald investment advice several times and has gained a lot of money.
Therefore, Aimode trusted the old housekeeper more and more.
Therefore, David was sure that the old butler must know something about 'Aymod's secret' that they didn't know.
The more this happened, the more relaxed and kind David showed.
The middle-aged police chief didn't look up, and continued to flip through the documents in his hand, and the praise in his mouth didn't stop.
"You are amazing!"
"It took only 8 years to graduate from the 'Butler Academy' at the age of 24. As far as I know, if you want to graduate from there, you need to study for at least 10 years."
"Your first employer is extremely satisfied with you."
"Diligent and responsible, almost every year is the same excellent evaluation."
"Your second employer... Well, he is full of praise for you, and thinks that you are trustworthy and can become the steward of the inheritance in charge of the overall situation."
The praise of the middle-aged sheriff did not get a response from the old housekeeper.
And the middle-aged police chief didn't seem to care about whether there was a response, so he just talked to himself.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
David seems to have met an old friend whom he can catch up with.
The words didn't stop, besides pouring water for himself and the old butler, he also asked someone to cook two packs of instant noodles.
"Sorry, there's nothing to entertain you."
The middle-aged police chief held instant noodles, with a sincere apology on his face.
"It's good enough."
"Thanks."
This time, the old housekeeper responded again.
Moreover, there is one more sentence than before.
The middle-aged sheriff smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Everything is under his control.
In the next room, the assistant Hunter, who watched all this through the single-sided glass, also heaved a sigh of relief.
He could see that the old butler's attitude was softening.
If you come a few more times, you will definitely get what they want.
But at this moment—
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door of the interrogation room.
Not like the middle-aged sheriff, he pushed the door open and entered, and the knocker waited quietly.
"Please come in."
The middle-aged sheriff frowned, but immediately put on a smiling face again.
The door was pushed open.
A man dressed exactly like Fendilt walked in.
Compared to Fendilt, the person in front of him was older.
But his back is still straight, and he walks in unison. His all-white hair is meticulously combed behind his head, and a white handkerchief is neatly folded in his chest pocket, revealing a corner.
However, what concerned the middle-aged police chief the most was the order in the opponent's hand.
release order.
Release Fendert, with the director's signature.
"Good evening, Sheriff David."
The old man bowed and saluted first, and then handed the order in front of the middle-aged sheriff.
The middle-aged police chief, who had already caught a glimpse of the release order, accepted the order with an unchanged expression. Then, with a smile on his face, he turned to indicate that the two of them could leave at any time.
"Thanks."
The old butler stood up from his chair, and when he passed by the middle-aged sheriff, he thanked him again.
David immediately responded with a smile, and then watched the two leave.
When the figures of the two disappeared at the end of the corridor, Hunter in the observation room couldn't bear it anymore.
"Sheriff, let them leave just like that?"
asked the young man.
"With the director's order, we can't keep anyone!"
"and… "
"Things seem to be getting more interesting."
The smile on David's face became brighter and brighter.
"interesting?"
The young man was taken aback.
"That person, the person who came with the director's order is Dodd's butler."
David said softly.
"Dodd?"
"That Dodd?"
The young man looked at David in disbelief.
David didn't answer, just nodded.
But in the middle-aged police chief's eyes, there was a coldness.
…
Outside the police station, in an ordinary car, Fendilt sat in the co-pilot's seat.
The butler of the chairman of the Cherry City Council sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
The car left the police station slowly, and after passing through a block, it started to speed up.
The car didn't stop until it reached the remote suburbs of Cherry City.
"What exactly did you do?"
As soon as the car stopped, Pang Er asked.
The speaker's butler looked extremely angry, not only staring at Fendilt with wide eyes, but the muscles on his face twitched, and after he asked a sentence, he roared again: "Do you know what you did? "
"I did not dissuade Mr. Ahmed."
"I knew it would be dangerous for him to go back, but I didn't dissuade him."
The old housekeeper lowered his head in shame.
"Why?"
"Why didn't you remind him?"
"Why not fulfill the duties of a steward?"
Questioning continued.
"me… "
The old butler opened his mouth, stuttering a bit.
Then, he took a deep breath and said directly:
"I don't want the tragedy to happen again!"
"I don't want those innocent girls to be tortured again!"
"I don't want those happy families to be destroyed again!"
The voice is loud and powerful.
The old man Pang Er looked at the flushed face of the old housekeeper, and looked at those tough but hesitant eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask.
"Do you know the consequences of what you do?"
"Know."
"Expelled from the Steward Alliance."
"I lose my qualifications as a housekeeper."
The old housekeeper nodded with a bitter face.
"You will also be blacklisted. Any family or power that has a member of the Steward Alliance will not welcome you... You have lost your last decency."
Pang Er said word by word.
The old butler remained silent, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"People have to bear the consequences of what they do."
"I am."
"The same to you."
After Pang Er finished speaking, he pointed outside.
The old butler pushed open the car door, and just as he was about to close the car door, an envelope was handed to him.
"Your Excellency Panger?"
The old butler looked at Pang Er.
"Your severance pay is not from the 'Stewardship Alliance', I applied for it privately."
After talking about Pound for about a second, he continued: "If you can, leave Cherry City immediately, and never come back in this life!"
hum!
The motor roared, and Pang Er stepped on the accelerator.
The car drove away quickly.
After driving about four to five hundred meters, the seemingly ordinary center control panel suddenly flipped over, revealing an LCD screen, and an image of an old man in his sixties with white hair and pajamas appeared on it.
"Fendilt, it's nice, isn't it?"
The old man said so.
"Well, yes sir, he's a good man."
"But it's not suitable for living in today's society."
"Not a qualified housekeeper either."
Pang Er replied in a respectful tone.
Both the honorific title and the tone of voice showed the identity of the old man on the LCD screen.
Speaker of Cherry City: Dodd.
"Because of this, I hoped that he would appear by Todini's side, but unfortunately... he was still a bit short, and the darkness that Amoud showed swallowed him up."
The speaker sighed, his face full of regret.
Todini, a member of parliament supported by Ahmed with all his might.
Similarly, it is also a strong candidate for the next speaker.
Simply put, Todini is the speaker's worst enemy.
"Sorry, sir."
"It's because my arrangements are not in place."
"I miscalculated Fendilt's patience."
Poll said apologetically.
"No, no no."
"Pang Er, you are not wrong."
"I also made the wrong estimate."
"So, don't take it to heart."
The old man waved his hand.
"Yes, sir."
"I've also investigated the imitator. It's Aimode's subordinates who have committed crimes."
Pang Er reported another matter.
"oh?"
"Damn it."
"It actually exposed such darkness to the public's sight."
The old man frowned, and then his brows opened smoothly.
He adjusted his sitting posture, and his tone showed a relaxed tone.
"Thankfully, he's dead!"
"Although our goal against Todini was not achieved, the death of Ahmed is also a good thing for us."
"Come back soon, we need to discuss how to digest these benefits."
"By the way, remember to dispose of Fendilt."
The old man ordered.
Butlers who graduated from the Butler Academy are not only people who manage affairs, but also serve as consultants more often.
Occasionally, he also makes guest appearances in some disgraceful professions.
It also makes them more worthy of the trust of their employers.
Of course, each of them is quite professional.
"Yes, sir!"
After Pang Er answered, the LCD screen was hidden again.
And Pang Er made a call.
"Well, do it."
After a simple order, the car accelerated.
The brilliance of the headlights quickly disappeared into the night.
The night, as always, enveloped the earth.
The deep night makes people feel peaceful, but it also brings the fear of location.
Fendilt was walking on the suburban road with a thick envelope containing a stack of large banknotes. The road here was smooth, but there were no street lights. Therefore, when a beam of light appeared behind him, Fendilt stopped immediately. , looked behind.
A pickup truck drove up slowly, with a bearded man sitting in the driver's seat.
"Hey, need a ride with you?"
asked the bearded man.
"Grateful."
The old butler bowed to thank him, looking at the bowing old butler, the bearded man had murderous intent in his eyes, and as soon as he raised his hand, he took out a pistol and pointed it at the old butler's head.
But at this time, the old housekeeper seemed to want to express his gratitude more sincerely, bending his neck and lowering his head even lower.
Then-
Whoosh!
A short arrow shot out and pierced straight into the bearded man's throat.
puff!
The red light collapsed.
