"Thomas, the shareholders' meeting did not approve my proposal, and the name Morgan is intimidating..."

The proposal of cross-shareholding did not pass, and Li Zitao always had to talk to the other party.

"It's a pity, Charlie, I miss my days in Phu Quoc and I wish I could go back to that time. Thomas said with regret.

"There will be a chance, isn't it long?" Li Zitao said with a smile.

"Yes, there's still a long way to go. Thomas let out a hearty laugh and invited Li Zitao to play in Maine, where there was plenty of room on his estate.

The United States is quiet and peaceful, the markets are thriving, the factories are busy, and the people on the streets are smiling hopefully, completely untouched by the outside world.

Lao Mei always has a feeling that she is the whole world, and she doesn't care much about the rights and wrongs of what happens in the outside world.

For them, a shooting on their home soil that killed a single person was worse than the outbreak of a world war.

Therefore, the war in East Africa is nothing more than a boring topic to pass the time after tea and dinner.

Who cares how many people they die, as long as it's not the Americans who die.

The public was talking more about the shooting in New York than about the war in East Africa, and why there was no news all of a sudden.

Whether it's radio or newspapers, the information about 'machine gun fire in the streets' has disappeared cleanly.

As for the other three murders, there is also the news that the Curtis R&D center was smashed into a hornet's nest with a heavy machine gun, and the corpses inside could not be put together in human form, and there has never been a news of it appearing at all.

It was only published in the local tabloids, but it was soon silenced, and the police continued to track down the whereabouts of the killer.

The car and heavy machine gun were found, the entire car was burned to frames, the machine guns were blown to pieces, and there were countless charred black bullet casings inside.

Only a few footprints were found at the scene, but they soon disappeared on the shores of Lake Erie.

"Did you find anything?" said two senior agents from Washington, D.C., at the scene of the vehicle's burning.

"No, the footprints disappeared by the lake, after which they could go anywhere ... Someone had seen a speedboat on the lake, and that was supposed to be the tool they used to leave. ”

Wearing an FBI uniform, the local agent in Illyria shook his head helplessly, and all the clues were cut off at the lake.

"Didn't you think about finding a speedboat to track it down?" Farak crossed his hands on his hips and frowned at Lake Erie beside him, his tone of reproach was unpleasant.

"Speedboat, do you want it?" the uniformed agent angrily pointed to a short distance behind him, and said loudly, "It's there, go and see it, Mr. Detective." ”

"Hey, Farak, what are you doing, we're here to investigate, not to find fault. Seeing the other party shake his hand away, Pa Bo was speechless.

"Leave those idiots alone, let's go over there and look at the boat. Frank walked ahead unconcernedly.

When I saw the 'black charcoal' with only the frame and half of the engine left, my face became wonderful.

"Ha, great, now that you've offended them, we're going to rely on it to solve the case, detective, use your brains!" Pab tauntingly turned his head to look at the lake, and then at Frank's face, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his fist.

"Pab, come and see this. Frank crouched down on the side of the boat, pulling a finger-sized piece of scorch out of the gap in the frame.

"What's that?" said Pab with a casual glance and turned his head away.

"Evidence. Rubbing the scorched black off the surface with his hands, Frank smiled as a hunter when he looked at the words on the sly.

......

......

"Honey, don't you want to stay at home?" said Mary in the castle, packing her bags in Fia's room, her tone reluctant.

"Don't worry, Mary, I'll be coming back to see you from time to time, and besides, everyone will be living at the school, and I don't want to be special. ”

Fia grinned and threw herself into her arms, holding her head high and excitedly, "You know what? Norma and I are in the same bedroom. ”

"It's wonderful. Mary rubbed her hair, and said to herself, "How could I not know that I had arranged all this."

Before you know it, Eric is already in 8th grade, and Fia and Norma are also in 7th grade.

The official registration is in mid-to-late January next year, and Fia wants to arrange the dormitory in advance, so she will pack her bags at this time.

In the United States, many children will start in the 7th grade, and many children will choose to live in the school, develop their independence, and also get more freedom.

In fact, Mary was against their boarding on campus, but at the insistence of Eric and Fia, she finally agreed.

"Have you cleaned up?" Li Zitao walked in from outside the door.

"Yes, Charlie, can you help me carry this?" said Fia, smiling sweetly, patting the suitcase on the bed.

"Glad to help, little princess. Li Zitao stepped forward and hugged her, and then walked out with his luggage.

Putting their luggage in the car, Mary and Fia also walked out of the castle.

"Don't you really need us to send you?" Li Zitao asked again.

"No, Danny is here, he'll take care of it for me. Fia said and waved her hand and jumped into the car happily.

Looking at Fia like a bird, Mary rested her head on her husband's shoulder with some sadness.

"After 40 days, she's going to be living at the school and rarely coming back, like Eric. As the car moved away, Mary muttered to herself.

"Yes, but they always have to be wide open, don't they?" Li Zitao comforted with a smile.

"I suddenly wish Aiden and Mason were growing more slowly, I wasn't ready for it. Mary looked up wistfully at the horizon.

In retrospect, it seems like it was just the blink of an eye, Aiden and Mason were 2 years and 6 months old.

"It doesn't matter, I'll be here with you wherever they go. Putting his arm around his wife's shoulder and kissing her forehead, Li Zitao stood with her in place.

Sadness comes and goes quickly, thinking that Eric has been living on campus for more than half a year, but often comes back to live, Mary's mood quickly improves.

It's just that after returning to the castle, I suddenly felt that the castle was too deserted.

In the 20,000-square-meter castle, there are only her and her two sons every day, and the rest is 167 servants.

Fortunately, the castle is lit up day and night, so it doesn't make people feel depressed and frightened.

While enjoying afternoon tea with his wife, Danny drove back in the car, and there was an uninvited guest in the car that should have been empty.

Melvin Purvis, the head of operations at the FBI from Chicago.

"Mr. Charlie, I'm sorry to come here without prior notice, things are a little nervous, I think it's safe to say it in person. Melvin rubbed his hands together with an embarrassed expression, his heart a little uneasy.

This gamble, will he be able to suppress the treasure?
