Manhattan Reborn 1978

a new day.

new York.

David opened his eyes on the bed, looked at the time, turned over and hugged Susan, preparing to seize the time to do some morning exercise. .

Unexpectedly, Susan gave him a surprise with some gloating: "No! You are on vacation these days, and relatives are coming to see me~"

"...Okay~"

David hugged Susan tightly, held her tenderly for a while, jumped out of bed, and ran into the bathroom.

Just when he had finished washing up and was changing clothes, there was a knock on the door.

"Clang~clang~"

"Who is it~" Susan also got dressed and walked to the door.

"It's me~"

Susan opened the door: "Polly?"

"Haha~ Good morning! Can I come in?"

"Of course~"

David arranged the shirt he had just put on and walked out of the bedroom. When he saw that the person coming was Polly, he smiled and gave her a hug and kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Hmm~ You are still so... sweet~"

Polly's face was slightly red, she glanced at Susan who was watching the fun happily on the side, pushed David away and said.

"You're not awake yet, are you?"

"No, I slept very well last night~ If you don't believe me, you can ask Susan~"

Susan smiled, shrugged, and joked to Polly: "You're late~ If only it were earlier, maybe..."

David rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense~? Let's sit down and talk~"

Polly looked at Susan and made a face to David with a smile, as if she understood something. She sat down with David, looked at Susan's back as she entered the bedroom, and whispered with a smile on her lips.

"Next time...should I come earlier?"

David shrugged and said indifferently: "After I move upstairs to the Wildfire Bar in a few days, I will leave a room for you somewhere~"

"You can come whenever you want - I'm always waiting for you!"

"Tch~ Who doesn't know how to brag?"

"Haha~ What? You must have something important to come to me so early~"

"Um.."

"Aalto will come to Stanley as a representative of the family and the newly formed team for the real estate development company."

"I know what you're talking about!"

"Oh? Will you... come to the meeting?"

"No, this meeting between the three parties is mainly to discuss the responsibilities and interests of each party in this cooperation."

"I just need to read the meeting minutes every day."

"Of course, if you don't reach a consensus on some issues, I will come forward to help coordinate~"

"...This is fine~"

"Um...Is this why you came here?"

"Also! Zhang Wenbiao called me~ He said that you guys want to invest in a restaurant for him?"

"Yes~"

"However, I didn't invest any money in his restaurant!"

"So, you can use the resources you have at hand to help Brother Biao open this restaurant smoothly~"

"Yeah... I will!"

"After all, his food company will also be a subsidiary of Da Group from now on~"

David rubbed his chin with his hand and looked at Polly beside him, feeling that the smell of a domineering female president in her body was getting stronger and stronger. .

"Have you had breakfast? I'm just about to go. Let's go together?"

Polly tilted her head and gestured towards the bedroom: "No, I'm losing weight!"

David raised his eyebrows and smiled, got up and went into the bedroom to get his coat and briefcase, and kissed Susan on the face.

"Want to have breakfast together?"

"You go ahead, I want to sleep a little longer!"

"ok~"

"Let's go, Polly~"

"bye Susan~"

"bye!"

. . .

Susan stood by the window, quietly watching David, Polly, and the four bodyguards slowly walk into the Marseille restaurant on the corner of the street, and then let out a long breath.

. . .

Marseille Restaurant.

After David led Polly to find a seat and sit down, Alto Sidric opened the door and walked in at the door of the restaurant.

"Alto?"

"Hi~David! Good morning, guys! Haha~"

"Come on, come and sit here~"

Alto walked to David with a smile, pulled a chair for himself, sat a little further away, and said to Polly.

"Are you done talking?"

"Well...you can attend the meeting as normal. If you have any questions, you can contact David~"

"Ok!"

After David ordered a meal for himself, he looked back and forth between Polly and Alto and said, "You... came together?"

"Yes~"

"Um... Well, Alto, do you have any new ideas that you can talk to me about?"

"Haha~ I knew it, you would definitely guess it!"

Alto nodded to Polly proudly and continued: "As for the real estate development company, Old Malkin contacted a few old friends. They also wanted to convert some of their properties in the franchise area into shares and invest in them. Company~"

"Oh? This is a good thing!"

"However... some of the properties in their hands do not have full ownership rights. If they buy shares, the discount rate will be very high. They don't really agree with it~"

"Full property rights?"

"Yes, for example: they hold the property rights of five floors of a seven-story building, and the remaining two floors need to be negotiated during development~"

"Okay... I guess it's not that they don't want to buy the remaining two floors, but that the other party doesn't want to sell them, or they dislike the lack of money?"

"Haha ~ almost!"

"Tsk~"

David is not interested in this kind of thing~

One party wants to spend less, the other party wants to earn more ~

This kind of back and forth wrangling may not be resolved in a year and a half~

David glanced at the silent Polly and asked, "Where's old Malkin? What did he say?"

"He said, listen to you!"

"Ha~~Okay, I will think of a way~"

"However, I will say the ugly things first!"

"I can try my best, but I won't be responsible for this!"

"Hahaha~ No problem, as long as you are willing to help~"

"Then...can I have breakfast?"

"Of course! I'm going to Stanley with my team too!"

"Thanks, David!"

"Okay~ Let's see you Stanley~"

Artaud is gone.

David looked at his rather high-spirited back, turned around, picked up the juice, took a sip and said, "Are you... angry?"

Polly opened her mouth with a complicated expression, but didn't say anything.

David looked at her and couldn't help but stand up in amusement, sat next to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered.

"This is one of the reasons why you are so anxious to separate me from Da Company, right?"

"..Um!"

"Haha~ Alto is doing things for the family!"

"From the perspective of actively seeking benefits for the family, what he did is understandable~"

“Business is business ~ but it’s just business!”

"We don't need to make those dirty money~"

"But we also need to seek more benefits for ourselves within our capabilities ~ don't we?"

Polly looked at David who was approaching, bit her lip, and whispered: "I..."

"Haha~ This matter has nothing to do with Da Company!"

"I will solve it perfectly with your father!"

David pulled Polly to stand up, and after greeting Giovanni, the two walked out of the Marseille restaurant.

street.

Polly frowned, and just when she was about to say something, she felt David kissing her lips gently. .

"Hahaha~ Go to work, promise me, stop thinking about it! Okay?"

Polly covered her lips with her fingers and was pushed into the car by David in a daze.

"Giovanni, help me get Polly to the company safely ~ I'll wait for you in Stanley!"

"ok~"

. . .

After sending Polly away, David stood on the street and touched the corners of his mouth with his fingers.

The person who came to him today with difficult questions was Alto, not Polly, not Ludy, and not old Malkin.

This is. .Do some people have new interest demands?

hehe~

. . .

David glanced at the three bodyguards who came out, waved to them and said, "Let's continue eating~"

"Oh... are you okay?"

"Of course~ What can happen to me?"

Mike and Lavis looked at each other and followed David into the Marseille restaurant.

----

Wall Street, Stanley.

When David and others got out of the car, they met several people walking out of Stanley holding boxes.

Several people looked at each other, Mike Bai nodded, walked quickly to a security guard at the door, and asked with a smile.

"Man, are they...?"

The security guard smiled bitterly and said: "Layoffs!"

"...Didn't it just get cut a few days ago?"

"Haha~ You shouldn't ask me this!"

"...Okay~"

After Mike Bai thanked the security guard, he followed David and others into the elevator and talked about it.

David nodded: "Already guessed it!"

"It seems that Nelent and Pine are about to start a drastic transformation plan~"

"Black Mike, where is your clerk girlfriend? You can go see her later!"

"..good!"

. . .

The elevator went to the fourth floor.

David looked at Black Mike who was leaving in a hurry, and smiled at White Mike and Ravis beside him: "I have never seen him take a woman so seriously~"

"Oh? Then his girlfriend, a clerk, is really unemployed. What will Black Mike do?"

"..how could I know?!"

"I do think Black Mike will marry her~"

"Wow~ Then I have to start saving money?"

"Haha~ can you still save money?"

"...Why not? If I just go out and play a few times, I'll have everything~"

"Nonsense! The key is, are you willing to play less?"

"..."

David looked at Mike Bai, who was choking on his words, and gave Ravis a thumbs up: "Awesome! Well done~hahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

----

Manhattan, 66rd Street.

At the FBI headquarters in New York, Harold Stone walked into the office with his briefcase in a good mood.

But he had only been in a good mood for less than 10 minutes when his subordinate Torres hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, another murder occurred this morning!"

"fxxx!"

"Where is it this time?"

"The Bronx~"

"...Have our people gone?"

"Yes, they called back from the scene and I did some note briefing~"

"Read!"

"Um..Okay~"

"At 6:07 this morning, in an apartment building in the Bronx, the victim's neighbor discovered that the victim's door was not closed~"

"When she knocked on the door out of curiosity and walked in, she found that the mother and daughter in the room had all been killed~"

"Based on the information our guys gathered from the scene."

"There were three victims in total. After verification with neighbors, it was determined that they were a mother and daughter."

"Among them, the mother was stabbed eleven times by the murderer in the chest, abdomen, back and other parts of the body with a sharp weapon, and was finally strangled to death in the bathroom."

"As for the two daughters, there are signs of being tied up on their hands and feet, and there are signs of crying, but there are no signs of struggling or fighting~"

"The cause of death of the two of them is highly consistent with the death method of the two girls in the previous Sting case. They both died of poison after being injected with some kind of lethal poison."

Harold Stone frowned, tapped the table with his right hand, and asked, "Are there any witnesses?"

"Not yet~"

"Then... was there any property damage at the scene? Or did the victim show signs of being violated?"

"...No, neither mother nor daughter were violated by the murderer~"

"but.."

"Hey~Torres, if you have anything, just say it!"

"...I think this case can be merged with the Sting case!"

"From the various similar evidences in these two crime scenes, I can almost confirm that this murderer is imitating the Zodiac Killer."

"However, compared with Zodiac, he seems even more crazy and cruel!"

"...Is there any more?"

"Have!"

"My teacher once talked to me about why some perverted murderers keep committing crimes."

"He said that these serial killers, who have psychological problems, get a certain level of satisfaction from hurting people every time."

"But this sense of satisfaction, just like taking drugs, will last shorter and shorter, and its effectiveness will become less and less satisfying as it harms more people."

"So, the time between the murders of the two cases we have is likely to be getting shorter and shorter."

"Until one day, when he can no longer get satisfaction from killing others, he may stop or commit suicide~"

After Harold Stone listened in silence, he took out the Sting case file from the drawer on his left hand side and threw it in front of Torres.

"As you said, let's take it and join the case~"

"Share all our speculations and evidence with the New York Police!"

"Tell all of us, except for the few people I specially ordered, to go out and investigate this damn serial murder case!"

"Didn't the New York police put a reward in the newspaper?"

"Torres, go and tell our people~"

"Whoever can catch the murderer in this case will report credit to the headquarters and ask for a bonus. I will also grant him another month of paid leave."

“And you can come to me for reimbursement of half of all expenses during the vacation!”

Torres opened his mouth in surprise: "Are you...? Seriously?"

"Nonsense~!"

"Do as I say!"

"Ah~ good! Haha~"

Harold Stone took a deep breath after watching his subordinate Torres leave.

hope. .These subordinates can work harder and catch that damn murderer earlier. .
