Chapter 81: The Fool
Soon after the 'eldest cousin' left the school building, a man who had hidden under a tree and smoked a cigarette came up quickly.
The 'eldest cousin' said casually: "After delivering the goods, go back, don't let the boss wait too long." β
Soon after, an ordinary TAC yellow car outside the campus drove out of the precincts of the university, and it didn't take long for the car to drive into a bustling downtown area.
It stopped in front of an old building.
The 'eldest cousin' looked very cautious, and after looking around, he went upstairs with his companions to a mid-floor house.
The one who opened the door was a bearded guy, and the 'big cousin' casually threw something at the bearded man, "Antibiotics, bought on the road, give them to Will." β
The bearded man nodded and glanced back. At this time, on a dilapidated sofa, a man was lying weakly.
His shoulders were heavily bandaged, and the bandages were stained with blood β if the police had been here, they would have found the wounded man, the same man who had fled on the day of the theater's memorial service, shooting and causing chaos.
"Where's the boss?" the 'eldest cousin' asked again.
The bearded man said casually: "The boss and Big Brother Boston are in the room, you can go in." β
The 'big cousin' nodded, and walked briskly into the room to which the bearded man was pointing. When he opened the door, Boston was counting stacks of bills.
Boston saw the 'big cousin' come in, and after making a summons, he took out a roll of banknotes (American knives) and threw it directly, "The boss will reward you for your hard work." β
The 'eldest cousin' smiled, took the roll of the bill cheerfully, and then said to a young man reading a book in front of Boston, "Thank you, Boss Arnold." β
Arnold, the Boss.
With his head down, a ballpoint pen in his hand, he was writing formulas on a book, and there was even a thick stack of reference books next to him.
"You help me do things, and you deserve to be paid. Arnold pushed the glasses on his face and said indifferently: "And what you get will only increase." β
Boston shrugged at this time and said: "Boss, I can't figure it out, we are not very good now, the money is fast, you can go to whatever girl you want, what kind of school do you go to?"
"Boston, you're out when you're done counting the money. Arnold still didn't look up, "and then had someone keep an eye on the Carlo lawyer." Caroline sent us so much money that we had no reason not to. β
"I love this job!" Boston laughed, picked up a stack of bills and kissed it!
"And keep looking for Caroline, don't let her run away. Arnold commanded again.
Boston grabbed a stack of bills and slipped it into his pocket, pushed the door open, and walked out. The 'eldest cousin' originally followed and left, but let Arnold call down.
"Nothing is wrong with you going to make a delivery, is it?" asked Arnold.
The 'eldest cousin' said, "No, it's going well." It's just that...... It's just that Haley is a little uncooperative. He said he didn't want to go on. β
"I don't raise waste. Arnold said indifferently: "If you don't do it, let him go to the prison and squat." β
The 'eldest cousin' said, "I told him the same thing, and he didn't say anything in the end...... By the way, Boss, have we been helping some mysterious woman sell these 'bath salts' ever since?"
Arnold raised his head, "Why don't you sell it?" Since this woman has the ability to integrate so many small gangs in the nearby streets, it is conceivable that the forces behind it are terrifying. And we have been making small fights like this is not a long-term solution, and we need more money to grow and grow. We help her bulk goods, which is a good source of funds. β
The 'eldest cousin' nodded and said, "These things are still thought of by smart people." Anyway, I just know that I haven't been poor since I followed you. β
Arnold waved his hand, "I also went out of the market at the university, and asked others to be careful not to do business with other bigwigs." β
"But then we don't have a lot of goods on hand that we can't sell soon?"
Arnold said: "Then let's stock up first." Now every bigwig has a lot of goods in their hands, and the customers of those bigwigs are basically fixed, and they want to seize it, and they are fighting a price war. These people use energy, I can't afford it. Besides, we didn't buy much of the goods in the first place, so Boston came back in advance, so naturally we had to sell them at the best price. β
"I see. "Big Cousin" nodded.
After he went out, Arnold took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired.
But he understands one thing deeply, that is, if you are born with a superior environment than others, you can only catch up through several times the hard work.
Arnold rested for a while, and then refreshed himself.
Suddenly, he opened the drawer and pulled out a bank card with a PIN written on it. He had already looked up the numbers on the card at the ATM.
"Where did you get it...... It's just an ordinary prostitute/woman. Arnold frowned: "There must be some secret...... The last scene, did you do it in vain? β
Arnold couldn't help but ponder.
......
......
"Arnold is the real boss?"
Caroline looked at the disfigured man in front of her in disbelief, listened to his words that were obviously filled with deep hatred, and said in amazement: "But Arnold, isn't he a top student?"
"The student is just a disguise for his identity. "The man did it," but the real one was the one who was behind the scenes, including Boston. β
"No way, I saw Arnold being hung up by Boston that day, and I've been beating him all the time!"
The man said indifferently: "Did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you see Arnold being beaten by Boston's men?"
"But the injuries on his body at that time ......"
"I ask you, did you see it with your own eyes? How long did you fight, and where did you hit it?" the man sneered, "Miss, don't you know that there is such a thing as makeup in this world?"
But he ...... Why did he do this?" Caroline frowned.
The man shook his head and said, "That's where I wondered. Arnold uses this method to deceive you, presumably trying to get something out of you...... I know his character too well. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, and I thought I could play with everyone in applause. Hum...... It always has been. The two brothers grew up in the slums, the elder brother was Haley, who had been a fool all his life, and the younger brother Arnold seemed to have robbed his brother of his IQ from birth...... Over the years, no matter how many bad things Arnold has done, he has done it as Haley. β
The taste of the man's sneer was even heavier: "At school, he is an excellent student. Outside of school, he is Haley, who has achieved nothing and caused trouble everywhere. Since he was a child, Arnold has been forcing Haley to play this game of swapping identities with him. β
"That'...... No way...... How could it be ......" Caroline felt rather confused, leaning against the wall, "now...... Is it Haley or Arnold who is in school now?"
"Now of course it's Haley. The man said coldly: "Arnold will never let himself do dangerous things. Except for the exams that must be taken in person and some necessary occasions, Arnold is afraid that Haley will be exposed, and the rest of the time Haley has been playing the student Arnold. β
Caroline was silent for a long time, and suddenly she had a funny feeling...... Since he has always been in the identity game of the two Arnold brothers.
"You...... How do you know so well?" After laughing at herself, Caroline became even more curious about the origin of this disfigured creature.
He said that he lived in dormitory 403 because the two brothers made it what they are now, obviously with a strong hatred...... Does he want revenge?
The man sneered: "Of course I know that since I had an accident, I have been quietly following these two brothers since I was in great trouble and after I recovered from my injuries. β
"Always follow ......" Caroline was stunned, suddenly remembered something, and said quite excitedly: "You...... Do you know how Livia died, and who the murderer is?"
The man said indifferently: "Naturally, it's Hailey." Let me tell you this, Haley is very inferior in nature, because he has always lived in the shadow of Arnold. There is a violent side hidden in the part of his personality, and of course, he usually does not explode easily. Because of the reason that he has spent a long time in contradictions, he has a special sexual fetish. He likes to torture and kill prostitutes, and Livia is not the first. It's just that almost all of the previous ones were settled by Arnold. β
He sat down again, "I don't know why Haley made a sudden move that night, because I haven't been up there. But I think he may have been stimulated by something. Afterwards, Haley made a phone call in a panic, and it didn't take long for Arnold to appear, and at this time, they changed their identities once. Arnold should have come to deal with the scene...... In the morning, Haley left the school as Arnold had instructed, and then returned to the rented place. At this time, they changed their identities again, and Arnold put on his own clothes, pretending to be that he had just returned from school.
Caroline incredulously, "At that time...... Haley, Haley is still there?"
The man nodded, "He's here, but he's hiding, and he didn't leave quietly until he saw you climb the drain and leave." β
Caroline suddenly rushed forward excitedly, stared at each other angrily, and said angrily: "Since you know all this, why don't you stand up and testify against Haley and Arnold...... Didn't you say that the way you are now is caused by the two brothers!"
The man said indifferently: "First of all, I have no reason to help you. And then...... Just to prove that Haley is the murderer. Not what I wanted. β
The man's eyes under the bandage were full of bright red bloodshots...... It's an avenger eye.
Suddenly, Caroline suddenly had an idea...... This man wants to take revenge on the Arnold brothers - in his own way.
This gaze made Caroline feel unusually cold, and she remembered the scene she 'saw' in her heart for a while.
I don't know if it's 'Arnold' or 'Haley', in the woods, when a mysterious man stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
Could it be that that person is the terrifying guy in front of him......
"Carolyn, I need your help. The man suddenly turned off the projector in the projection room, and the film slowly stopped, making Caroline feel as if time had suddenly become frozen, "When I finish what I want to finish, I can prove your innocence." β
"I ......"
"I've checked you, like Livia, although it's not a glorious profession, but at least you can walk on the road openly. The man sneered: "It's not like here now, hiding in Tibet, with the label of a suspect on your head, and even someone from Boston looking for you...... Listen, everything you have done is because of these two brothers. I don't know what reason you have for rejecting me. β
Seeing that Caroline didn't respond for a long time, the man frowned, "What, it seems that you think it doesn't matter if you're killed, right?"
Unexpectedly, Caroline suddenly stretched out her hand at this time and grabbed the other party's arm, appearing very hard. Caroline stared at each other.
"What do you want to do?" the man looked at Carolyn's behavior in bewilderment.
"What's your name?" said Carolyn suddenly, "since we're going to work together, you'll have to let me know what to call you." β
The man glanced at Caroline suspiciously, then casually slapped Caroline's hand and said casually: "I used to die, you can call me 403." β
"So what should I do now?" asked Caroline.
403 said: "Don't do anything, you go back to the 403 dormitory first." β
Caroline frowned, "I've come out, now go back, Arnold...... No, wouldn't Haley doubt me?"
403 said: "Don't worry about this, he hasn't gone back yet, and now Hailey is venting the unhappiness in his heart." He called a prostitute/girl, who should be in a nearby hotel by now, and you can still catch up when you go back now. β
With that, 403 handed Caroline something.
"It's ......"
"Be careful with your stun stick. With that, 403 put a leather man's face hood on his face, "I'll contact you." And you, if you find something, write it down on a slip of paper and throw it in a garbage bag. That's right...... This is the key to the 403 bedroom, so the next time you come back, be sure to keep an eye out for anything on the crack in the door. β
......
Caroline cautiously opened the door to 403's bedroom, and was slightly relieved to find that Haley was not here, as 403 said.
She wandered alone in her dorm room, thinking about what had happened tonight.
If she 'saw' the scene, when one of the Arnold brothers was killed, 403 appeared, does it mean that she will be one of the factors that contributed to this scene?
And also...... What she 'saw' about her own death...... Does it mean that if you help 403, that's your fate?
Caroline was nervously biting her fingernails, fidgeting and looking terrifiedβshe suddenly felt that it was not a joy to be able to 'see' the future in this way, especially when you saw that you were going to die.
"No...... It can be changed!!"
Caroline's eyes snapped open, and she remembered the moment she grabbed the woman with the stroller.
Because of her action, the woman and the baby did not die in the car accident.
OK...... Changed!
