Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 853 The World of Lies (2)

Tobacco and alcohol, hustle and bustle and excitement, in the carnival, Brother Boston moved the poker cards in his hand bit by bit.

A simple poker game called baccarat is also the most popular game among gamblers.

"Zhuang wins."

However, with the dealer's ruthless verdict, Brother Boston had to sweep away all the poker cards in front of him in a discouraged manner.After throwing down the last chip, he left angrily.

Undoubtedly, this night not only had no results, but even lost everything - including the [-] that Arnold's boss had just transferred.

"Shit!"

Brother Boston punched the wall next to him fiercely, feeling extremely irritated, and now he is penniless.

Brother Boston left quickly from the private casino, but in the alley where he left, he saw people from other gangs selling drugs.

The appearance of Boston immediately made the two men at the seller's side tense and fierce. As for the customer who bought the medicine, he panicked and ran away.

"Hey, take it easy, I'm just passing by." Poston raised his hands slightly.

"Friend, you just ruined our business, do you know how much we lost?" One of the men sneered.

Boston fixed his eyes, but saw a small sealed bag on the ground—it was a strange blue powder dropped on the ground by the person who left in a panic.

Boston had no choice but to say unlucky, he knew what these two guys were selling here - because he was also one of the sellers of this drug, but because of Arnold's prohibition, the amount he got at the beginning Lot of goods, and not many sold.

In a two-on-one situation, the two men obviously had no intention of chatting with Boston, and they started beating up violently.

It's just that Boston is the most capable guy in his gang after all, otherwise he wouldn't have been the big brother in the gang until Arnold arrived.

After spending some money, Poston managed to knock these two guys to the ground, and it was still the kind that fell to the ground.

Poston wiped the corner of his mouth, it was broken and bloody.Poston spit out a mouthful of spit, onto one of them.

Seeing the two fell to the ground, Boston suddenly felt evil thoughts, and directly looted all the money on the two, including the medicines that were transported and sold, and then left quickly, walking out in three steps at a time. this alley.

However, he had just walked out of this alley, but he rushed back in the next instant.

There is no doubt that Poston is a very cruel and bold guy, so he chose to keep his mouth shut... Poston's eyes kept flashing with ferocity.

He quickly dragged the two people who had been knocked unconscious by him out of the alley, and then drove the car parked nearby. There were several large bags, hemp rope and other tools in the alley at the rear of the car.

After tying people up, putting them in bags, and then driving away, Boston came to a river with ease, then put heavy objects in the bags, and finally pushed the bags into the river.

After doing this, Poston was already drenched. Panting for breath, he looked around. Because it was already late at night, there should be no one nearby.

Poston took one last look at a bell tower across the river—it was a building on the university campus, the university where Arnold's boss had studied.

Boston quickly left this place. Before returning to his old lair, he counted the money he got from the robbery—not a lot, more than [-] yuan. Boston couldn't help laughing happily.

In this way, not only can I get back the [-] that Boss Arnold received, but I even made an extra profit—Bosston was secretly happy, and at the same time picked up the medicine that was also obtained from the robbery: bath salts.

Posti picked up a small pack of bath salts, looked at them again and again, and suddenly had a thought in his mind: These things are so valuable...why not sell them now?
Boston's gaze gradually changed. He held up the money he had snatched, and these batches of bath salts... He knew that there were more such things in his lair.

"I should have sold them... Shit Arnold!"

Boston suddenly felt that he had figured it out.

……

……

"...We, dearly miss Dr. French, who was so wonderful."

In a certain auditorium of the school, a middle-aged man was giving a speech in a heavy tone.

On the curtain of the auditorium stage, a projector is playing the life of Dr. Franch.

In the corner on the second floor of the auditorium, a voice suddenly sounded—of course, it wasn't a voice that caught everyone's attention, it was just a low-pitched conversation-like voice.

"Oh, I hate formal things like that."

The person who spoke was wearing a hat and sunglasses, and wrapped his chin with a scarf in the hot weather, so he could only see some parts of his cheeks—but there was no doubt that this person was an old man.

And the person standing beside him was Mr. Offee.At this time, facing the complaining words of the other party, Mr. Offee could only say helplessly: "This is spontaneous by the hospital. To be honest, even if it is me, there is no way to refuse it rationally."

"You never know what it's like to watch a group of people mourning themselves." He pointed to the photo on the screen, "I'm standing here."

"Father..." Mr. Offee wanted to say something.

But he... Dr. Franch waved his hand, shook his head and said, "I'm not weak enough to need you to comfort me. I'm not sick now, let alone explain to me."

As he said that, Dr. Franch sighed in a complicated way, with some self-mockery, "It's funny to say, I have been dealing with science all my life, if I have to arrange a belief for me, then it must be physics. But I didn’t expect that in the end I would be alive because of unnatural forces. Even if I am sober and rational, I still can’t digest the change in world view... Offee, maybe you did something very wrong.”

Mr. Offee didn't answer, just watched the scenes on the screen in front of him.The students and teachers are looking back on the life of Dr. Frankie, and he himself is also looking back on the life of himself and his father.

Mr. Offee said suddenly: "I don't regret it."

Dr. French trembled slightly, but said nothing more.

After a while, Dr. Franci shook his head. The reason why he came here this time was to retrieve some things that were full of memories for Dr. Francis from the office of the school—of course, these things are not visible to outsiders. Come is a relic, so it is most appropriate for Mr. Offee to come forward.

And returning from death, Dr. Frankie also felt a lot, and now he also wanted to come back to the place where he started—because he knew that in the future, he might not have many opportunities to act outside, after all, no matter what Whether legally or in public perception, he has 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've been kept in captivity."

"Father, please be patient, I will definitely find a solution." Mr. Offee said quickly.

The doctor shook his head, put away his nostalgia for this place, and turned to leave.

But he only took two steps before stopping, looking at a figure at a side door of the auditorium, who quietly opened the door and walked in, holding a white rose in his hand.

Mr. Offee's eyes were sharp, and he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

Dr. Frankie hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Opheus, I know this child... She may be troubled, if you have a chance, please help her."

"Father?" Mr. Offee was a little puzzled.

Dr. Franch casually smiled and said, "Just take it as a gift in return, even though I didn't get that piece of chocolate."

……

"...we are in great grief."

The voice of the radio was very loud. When Caroline slowly opened the door and walked in, she was almost shaken to the point of ringing in her ears.

Looking at the picture of Dr. Frankie on the screen, she felt an indescribable sadness and irritability in her heart - not long ago, she and this old man who was mourned by everyone were indeed pouring out their troubles to each other.

There is no consolation, no conclusion, just venting words.

Perhaps, if he had done something at that time, this old man would not have died... Just like the mother and her baby who were rescued by her back then.

But, what can she do?
Arnold should be sitting somewhere in this auditorium, because Arnold installed the location on the phone, and Caroline didn't bring the phone with her when she came out—the purpose of coming here this time, Carol Lin herself made it clear that she just suddenly wanted to present a white rose to this old man who had met once.

Maybe it's just an idea of ​​self-satisfaction... She doesn't know, and she doesn't want to stay here for too long.

So after listening to two speeches, Caroline quietly put the white rose in her hand on the ground, and then quietly left.

I don't know if I will meet 403 on the road... She always feels that 403 has been observing her in the dark.

It would be the best if she could meet 403, because she suddenly had a question in her heart, and wanted to ask 403... about A Nuo.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Caroline, a man's voice.

"The one in front, wait a minute."

Then he walked up quickly and came to Caroline... It was Mr. Offee, "Please wait a moment, this classmate."

Caroline saw Mr. Offee's face clearly, was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Are you his son?"

The moment she touched Dr. Frankie, she saw the moment of Dr. Frankie's death, and also saw the two people standing beside Dr. Frankie at that time—an adult and a child.

The appearance of that adult completely coincided with the man who stopped him now.

"You know me?" Mr. Offie frowned involuntarily.

Caroline didn't know how to explain it—in fact, as a sex worker in the slums, she didn't care about any major national affairs, and the current president of the country was probably the most familiar government official.

"Hmm... I've heard of it." Caroline said casually... I think such words may not be able to pass the test.

But Mr. Ofe said nothing, just nodded.

Because Mr. Offee found what he thought was a reasonable reason almost instantly—both he and Dr. Frankie are public figures, and they are very famous. It is not surprising that the public will know about it.

What's more, this is the person my father said he would take care of.

"This classmate, do you know my father?" Mr. Offee smiled, "I saw the white rose you put down."

Caroline shook her head: "Actually, I just met once and had a few chats... I'm not afraid of your jokes. At that time, I didn't know that such a bad old man would be such a famous person."

Mr. Offie frowned... Anyone who heard someone say that his father was a bad old man probably felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything, then quickly took out a card and handed it to Caroline's on hand.

"This is?" Caroline was a little puzzled.

Mr. Offie said: "Thank you, thank you for the flowers you sent him. Here is my personal assistant's phone number. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can call this number directly. You just need to say 'Southern Cross' , he will know how to do it. Generally, things that are not too big should be resolved.”

For a person as famous as Dr. Franch, his son should also have a background, right?
Caroline nodded subconsciously, but wondered if this guy could help her settle the charges of the suspect in the Livia murder case?
It shouldn't be possible... After all, it's a human life.

After leaving a card, Mr. Offee left quickly without saying anything to Caroline... Although all he left behind was his secretary's phone number, it was enough to solve many things.

For Mr. Ofe, this is nothing more than a small effort to complete a sentence of his father's advice.

"I don't know why..." Caroline shook her head, and put the card into her pocket casually.

When she was about to leave, she saw a woman coming out quietly not far away, and after the woman came out, Caroline actually saw Arnold and also came out.

Arnold was talking to this woman about something... But Caroline suddenly gasped at this moment!
The woman who came out, she had seen... 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... this 'Arnold' knew Lucas' girlfriend!

However, when the masquerade came out last time, 'Arnold' didn't show the behavior of knowing Lucas' girlfriend at all...

——"It's just an invitation class. We met him in the big class. We know him, but he doesn't know us..."

Haili just took Arnold's place in campus activities, he was not a high-achieving student at all, and he didn't know how to attend classes at all... Caroline's heart beat rapidly.

This 'Arnold' is the real Arnold!
When... was it changed again?Before the memorial service?Or earlier...yesterday?the day before yesterday?Recently?

Caroline backed away slowly, cautiously, for fear that she would make a little noise and attract Arnold's attention... She turned a corner, and then...then ran away frantically.

After leaving the auditorium, she completely ran out of the place where the auditorium was located. However, as she ran in a hurry, her heart beat more and more, as if she was about to jump out, and she even heard her own violent heartbeat!

But Caroline bumped into something suddenly, and she had to stop.

is 403!

Sure enough, he followed!

"You are so anxious to find me, what's the matter?" 403 stretched out his hand to pull up Caroline who fell on the ground, and asked, "Why are you in such a panic?"

"I……"

The moment Caroline touched 403 in her hand, a flash of light occupied her entire vision.

Darkness all around...Boston...big bag...something is dragging...by the river...

Struggling, struggling...the water began to flood over...the body began to sink...
