Seeing Sonny's coffin buried in the ground, Russell felt a little regretful.

He originally thought that killing Mogreen, Basini and others in advance would change the trajectory of his life, but he didn't expect that he would still die, and his death was more unclear than in the movie.

Russell hates hiding rats. These rats are not very lethal, but they are very disgusting!

When he first met Vito, his back was straight, but now it bends involuntarily.

Mike has also changed from a brat to a steady young man. As for Freddy?He was still the same as before, it seemed that Sonny's death had nothing to do with him, even when the pastor was speaking, he still looked around without repenting.

Many people who attended the funeral did not feel any sadness in their hearts, but they only squeezed a few tears from their eyes when they saw Vito's face.

Sonny's wife Sandra wailed, Sonny was not a good husband, but what woman wants to be a widow?

Russell also noticed Lucy with a big belly. The child in her belly may belong to Sonny, and I don't know if the widow Sandra knows it.

But Russell doesn't care about these trivial matters, and it doesn't have much to do with him.

After the funeral.

Everyone left slowly with grief.

Russell was standing next to the Rolls-Royce smoking a cigarette, and Vito, Mike and others walked slowly.

"Mike, let your wife take care of Sandra, she can't be alone these days."

"Ok."

"Clemenza, Tessio, go get busy, don't come to the house today, I want to invite Russell to dinner."

Clemenza frowned and said, "Godfather, although he came alone, he..."

"Shut up! Use your head, Clemenza. Our names are Corleone, and I'm friends with his father. How could he hurt Sonny?"

"Godfather, I'm just worried about you."

Vito shook his head: "Mike and Tom will follow me back, you should leave."

"Yes."

Due to the distance, Russell did not hear their conversation.

However, when they passed by Russell, Vito turned and walked over, looked up and said, "I'm in your car, welcome?"

"of course."

John was a little dazed, but he quickly reacted and opened the car door hastily.

Vito said: "I have lived in New York for so many years, this is the first time someone at the deputy director level opened the door for me..."

"Mr. Corleone, it is my honor to open the door for you."

Vito looked sternly, glanced at John, and said nothing.

When Russell got in the car, Vito pointed to John's back and said, "Did you support him?"

"Yes."

"What kind of magical power do you have that would make such a scheming person so devoted to you? Human nature is multifaceted. Aren't you afraid that he will stab you at a critical moment?"

Russell shook his head: "As long as I choose, there is no one who has betrayed me."

"why?"

Russell pointed at Felix and said, "You can ask him."

Felix turned his head and said, "The godfather gave my family a way out."

"What about him?"

Vito pointed at the driver, Roy.

"The Godfather got me out of Hoover's clutches," Roy said.

Hearing this, Vito frowned immediately.

"Hoover?"

Russell patted Vito's leg and said, "Uncle Vito, don't worry about this kind of thing."

Vito shook his head.

He didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment...

In Russell, he didn't find any flaws, not even lust for beauty or love of money.

So what exactly does he like to do?

garden villa.

As soon as he got out of the car, Russell was dragged to the study by Vito.

Felix, Mike, Tom and others stayed in the living room.

In the study, Vito took out a bottle of brandy and filled two wine glasses.

"Everyone has shortcomings, like my son Sonny, he is too impulsive and can't control his temper. Freddie is cowardly, greedy for beauty, and not satisfied with the status quo. As for Mike, he is just too willful..."

Russell smiled: "What do you want to ask about my shortcomings?"

"Yes."

"Perhaps my shortcoming is empathy."

"Haha..." Vito asked with a smile, "You don't covet beauty, money, or power...then what exactly do you like?"

Russell stared at him, and said seriously: "I like the feeling of playing with the big people in the eyes of ordinary people in the palm of my hand!"

Hearing his words, Vito fell silent.

"After all, I underestimated you..."

Immediately, the two fell silent.

Much later, when Russell and Vito light a menthol cigarette at the same time, their eyes meet.

Vito exhaled the smoke and said to himself, "I didn't expect Sonny to be killed in Connie's house. At that time, there were only Sonny and Carlo at home..."

After Connie was beaten by Carlo, she called Sonny and cried. When Sonny heard that her sister was beaten, she burst into flames, and then drove to Connie and Carlo's house.

At this time, Connie had been beaten away, and the call was also made at her best friend Lucy's house.

When Connie came home, she saw two dead bodies lying on the ground.

She screamed in horror, then picked up the phone and called Tom, the strategist.

Chapter 164 Corleone's successor, who only recognizes clothes but not people

When Vito heard the news, he immediately came to Carlo's house, saw the two corpses and the murder weapon on the ground, and suspected for a moment that Russell sent someone to do it.

But after he calmed down, some thought that Russell had no motive for doing so.He has settled in California for two years, his business in New York is very formal, and there is no conflict with the Vito family. Besides, although the relationship between Sonny and Russell has faded, there is no reasonable reason to kill him at all.

Then Vito issued a gag order. He thought that if it was reported that Sonny and Carlo were killed at home at the same time, his daughter Connie would be very suspicious. Can't resist the rumors and rumors.

Letting the people in the police station cooperate in the judgment of the murder turned into a mutual beating to death. To some extent, this was necessary because the enemies hiding in the shadows did not expect Vito to do so.

Why?

The other party dared to come to Carlo's house to kill Sonny, so it must have something to do with Carlo...

On the leather sofa, Russell was smoking a cigarette, and said calmly, "Uncle Vito, in fact, after Sonny died, Carlo did not die. His arms were indeed broken by Sonny, but he still has a breath. If I If I guess correctly, Carlo should have been killed by Connie or Tom or Mike..."

Vito paused after hearing that, bowed his head and fell silent.

He put out his cigarette and sighed, "That's right...Russell, you are very smart and patient."

"Sonny's death was not a coincidence. Connie once told her mother that Carlo hadn't had any conflicts with her for a while, but on the day Sonny died, Carlo suddenly found fault and beat Connie with a lame reason... "

Because Carlo knew that Connie was beaten, he would definitely cry to his eldest brother Sonny, and Sonny is a person who values ​​affection and family values, so he will definitely come to Carlo in a rage!

At this point, things seem to be clear.

"I don't want to admit that there is a ghost in my family, not to mention that the ghost is my son-in-law..."

Russell looked up at the sad old man, and said, "Have you found out who Carlo is in close contact with?"

"No clues."

"I heard Sonny is going to Las Vegas a lot this year?"

Vito tilted his head and stared at him, and said, "You mean the enemy is in Las Vegas. But as far as I know, Carlo has never been to Las Vegas. He has only been to Chicago and Boston on business trips."

"Do you think the inner ghost will use his own name to register in the register when he is meeting?"

"...I understand what you mean. Just now you said that imitation Kakimansa brand clothing appeared in New York City. What do you mean?"

Russell narrowed his eyes and said, "My intuition tells me that Sonny's death has something to do with the people behind the imitation Kutchmansha brand clothing."

Vito listened silently to his speech, but looked towards the door uncontrollably. Outside were his two most trusted friends, Mike and Tom, while Clemenza and Tessio had already been driven back to the residence by him.

"The price of imitation clothing is two-thirds lower than that of the original, and it is very popular among poor kilns. It has caused a great impact and loss on my brand... I suggest that you first check in Brooklyn, because the imitation is from there spread."

Vito turned his head and asked, "Why does your intuition tell you that this has something to do with Sonny's death?"

"Coincidence, I don't believe there is such a coincidence in the world. My people received the news of the imitation clothing the night before Sonny died, and at that time the imitation clothing had already spread to Queens."

How did bootleg clothing develop in Brooklyn during this time?That's Vito's territory!

Vito looked at the wine glass on the table, and said, "Assuming there is a relationship, what do you think is the doubt?"

Russell shook his head: "Because no doubts were found, it appears abnormal."

"Maybe it's a stretch to say that, but Sonny has been looking to transform into a new business before that."

Vito's tone was a little annoyed, "Do you suspect that Sonny is destroying your company's brand reputation? He made the imitation clothes?"

Russell looked straight into his eyes and said, "Shouldn't you doubt him?"

"...Very well, I will continue to investigate along your line of thought, and those who attacked Sonny must also pay blood!"

"Of course, that's what Sicilians are supposed to do."

In fact, Vito was struggling in his heart. He didn't want to think about Sonny's death, which was a sad punishment for a white-haired old man.

But when he got back to reality, he had to think... because he wanted to avenge Sonny, Corleone's death must not just be left alone!

When Russell came to the funeral today, Vito had cleared him of all suspicions. If Russell had done it, I am afraid he would not have come alone, and he would not have commanded a deputy chief of the New York Police Department cautiously and in a high-profile manner.

This is telling Vito, I know you are suspicious of me, so I will give Sonny a lift and come to see you.But I'm also a little scared, what if you kill me by mistake, then things won't end easily.

Of course, Russell wasn't really afraid of him, but he didn't want the murderer behind the scenes to laugh at his brainlessness, let alone let him succeed!

Fortunately, Vito's emotional management is superb, and he didn't show any flaws.

The two chatted for a long time in the study, during which they talked about the issue of heirs. Russell did not give any advice on this, let alone said that Freddie and Mike were not good.

Presumably, Vito knew it well, and someone had already chosen him.

First of all, Freddy is definitely not competent. He has a bad temper and temperament. Although he has great ambitions, he is incompetent, and he doesn't even have the most basic self-awareness...

Moreover, Freddy's reputation has already spread in various hotel clubs during his two years in Las Vegas.

He has a famous nickname, Brother Fei Tong!

Dancing girls, street girls, and kiln girls all commented on his lack of ability, but made up for it with tongue.

When Mo Gelin was alive, he obeyed him. After his death, he let himself go. Sometimes he pushed all the waiters in his own hotel into the room.

How can such a person succeed Vito?

And Mike has made great progress in the past two years. After graduating from school, he taught himself business administration, and he often went to various parties and made many friends.

He is righteous, intelligent, empathetic, and has a unique analytical thinking when dealing with things. He is a rare and handsome talent.

At first, Vito’s expectation for him was to wait another two years, gain some experience in a certain position in the government or association, and then directly run for the House of Representatives. Since he has won the Cross and appeared on the front page of a magazine, as an American hero, he will definitely be able to After harvesting a batch of votes, Vito will operate in secret at that time, and there is no guarantee that Mike will become a member of the House of Representatives.

But... all plans vanished the night Sonny died.

"I look forward to the day when the truth comes out."

Russell got up and hugged Vito, and said seriously: "Uncle Vito, the enemy is very cunning, he may be targeting me."

"Whether it's coming at you or not, my son Sonny is dead."

Russell turned and walked out of the study without a word. Vito put his hands on the back of the sofa and watched him leave.

The living room was very quiet. Felix, Mike and the others sat there quietly like strangers. No one spoke. They just smoked cigarettes silently, causing a layer of smoke to float in the air in the room.
