readx; Chapter 201 Conviction Franos took a shower, changed his clothes, and returned to the celebratory ball. He sat down with Lawrence, Deere, Merlo and the Golden Man to celebrate the great success www.biquge.info of the fund. Suddenly, there was a panicked shout from outside. The financial tycoons and Hollywood people all ran out, and Franos followed.

A thin pillar of fire whirred upwards, soaring higher than the neon lights of a Las Vegas shopping street. The pillar of fire has a sand mountain as a backdrop, forming a large pillow-like rainy season and rose-colored clouds.

"Oh my God!" The beautiful Garbo, while holding Franos's shoulders tightly, said, "It's your villa!" ”。

Frans was silent as he watched the green flag over the villa be engulfed in flames, and he heard the firetruck "Woo! "Drive through the shopping street.

In order to cover up the blood marks left by his own murder, nearly $100 million was burned. Leah is a competent man, he will do whatever it takes, he does not invite danger......

Detective Rocky was on vacation, and his disappearance was discovered five days after the fire.

Of course, the disappearance of Thayer #Eastwood is unlikely to be officially reported.

During the investigation, the police found the body of Rocky's old partner, Sharkey. Rocky became the focus of suspicion, and the police thought he wanted to evade interrogation and ran away.

Detectives from Los Angeles come to talk to Franos because they were the last people saw Lodge at the Grand Tower. However, there is no indication of any connection between the two men. So Franos said to the detective, "I only saw Rocky on the night of the celebration. "The detective is gone, because no matter how good the detective in the world is, it is impossible to solve the case without the body being found.

However, it is not the police who are worried about Franos. Because he's been waiting for Don #Eastwood to summon him.

Franos knew that the Eastwood family must have known that Thayer was missing, and they must have known that he had finally been seen at the Grand Hotel. So why don't they come to themselves to find out? Can this matter be ended so easily? Franos never believed that such a simple thing could happen.

After that, Frans Osnay took his surname and did what he was supposed to do, continuing to run the hotel day after night, and busy planning the reconstruction of the burned villa. Leah was indeed responsible for eliminating the bloodstains, leaving no clues.

It is worth mentioning that Dill of the investment company came to see him again after the celebration. And with excitement.

Franos asked the waiter to bring the meal to the room, so they could talk privately......

"You won't believe this, I'm going to be the CEO of Luode Investment Company." Dill was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Congratulations!!" Franos said with a smile.

Dill shrugged his shoulders and said, "But it's weird!" Let me tell you what happened, when we left Las Vegas on the Rod #Lawrence plane, everything seemed to be going well. But when I got off the plane in New York, it was all a mess. The police there arrested Lawrence. You know why? ”。

"Maybe it's forcing too many people to be homeless!" Frans quipped.

"No, listen, it's weird, do you remember the Bethany girl that Lawrence brought to the celebration? Do you remember what she looked like? Alas! She was only fifteen years old. The police arrested Lawrence for forcible and prostitution because he had taken the girl across the state line. Dill impulsively continued: "But it's all a false accusation. Bethany's parents were there shouting that their poor child had been forcibly annihilated by a man forty years older than her. ”

"She doesn't look like fifteen, but she does look like a sophisticated liar." Franos said.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, thanks to the experienced Melo who took over the matter and helped Lawrence out of the predicament of the time, he was not arrested, and the whole thing was not publicized by the media. So, everything seems to be going well. ”

Hearing this, Franos laughed, and it was clear that David # Redfellowo was still so sophisticated.

Dill continued: "This is no joke, poor Lawrence has been framed. The girl insisted that Lawrence was forcing her to have a surname in Las Vegas. The parents insisted that they were not scarce of money, but to prevent anyone from forcibly destroying innocent girls in the future. The whole investment company fell out. A few sensible people have made the six gods unowned, and they talked about selling the investment company. At this point, Merlot took the matter over again. He signed a contract that allowed the girl's family to come to work in the company, and could operate with less than one million funds, and give them a lot of money. Incidentally, it was a good idea, and later, the district attorney in New York had to prosecute. It was the Roder Investment Company that supported the election of the District Attorney, and Lawrence treated the District Attorney with respect. Melo even offered to give him a job as a consultant at an investment company for five years, a million dollars a year, but the prosecutor refused. He insisted that Lawrence be removed from his position as chairman of the investment company. And then he was willing to make a trade. No one knows why he is so stubborn. ”

"A political axe official who is not bribed may have happened to run into it." Franos said with a shrug.

Saying these words reminded Franos of David #Redfellow.

What did Redfellow do with all of this, he wondered? Redfellow would probably say to the District Attorney, "Am I bribing you to do your job?" "As for money, Redfellow can immediately offer a very high price. Twenty million dollars.

Franos thought to himself, "The investment company is a tens of billions of dollars deal, and what is the value of two tens of millions of dollars?" Besides, if the district attorney does not take on any risks, he can still act in strict accordance with the law. It's a great thing. ”

Dill was still speaking, and said quickly: "Lawrence had to step down anyway, and he had to sell his shares, but before he stepped down, he completely unexpectedly appointed me as general manager of the company." Merlot was furious. Now I'm his boss. Isn't that ridiculous? ”。

Frans looked at him amusedly, then smiled.

Suddenly, Dill hugged Frans and said, "My friend, I don't have a backbone now, do you want to continue to work in the investment company?" Will the company still have a future? ”。

"Trust me! I promise you'll make a lot of money if you keep doing it! You have a straight flush yourself and you don't know it! Frans said.

"Straight flush? Do I have one? Dill said.

"You have! But I can't tell you that if I do, you'll lose all your good deck! Frans said.

The two of them finished their meal and talked back and forth for hours. As Dill got up to take his leave, Frans picked up a pack of black chips from the table, handed it to him, and said, "Go to the table and take a gamble." Relax! ”……

On the afternoon of the tenth day, Alfred #Eastwood came to visit Franos at the Grand Mansion, and the latter felt a sense of collapse in his stomach at this moment, and he knew in his heart that if he didn't hold on, he would panic.

Alfred had his bodyguards stay outside the suite, with the hotel's security guards. However, Franos had no illusions that his own bodyguards would follow Alfred's orders.

Seeing Alfred's face, Franos didn't feel steady.

Alfred seemed to be thin, and his face was pale. For the first time, Franos noticed that he didn't look very normal.

But Franos welcomed him warmly and said, "Ha! Alfred! It was a real surprise. Let me call the people below and prepare a villa for you! ”。

Alfred smiled wearily at him and said, "We can't find Thayer. After a pause, he continued: "He didn't know where he had gone, and the last time people saw him was here in the mansion." ”

"OMG! This is serious. But you know Thayer, he can't control himself. Frans said.

This time Alfred didn't force a smile and said, "He's with Detective Rocky, and Rocky is gone!" ”。

"They're a funny couple, and I'm wondering if that's the same." Franos said.

"They're good friends, and the old man doesn't like them doing this, but Thayer is in charge of paying the guy's salary." Alfred said.

"I will do my best to assist and I will inquire about all the employees of the hotel. But you know, Thayer and Lodge are not officially registered. People who live in the villa are never registered. Franos said calmly.

"You can do this when you come back!" Alfred said, "Don wanted to meet you, and he also chartered a plane for me to send you to San Bernardino." ”

Franos pondered for a long time before he said, "I'll pack up, Alfred, is the matter serious?" ”。

Alfred stared straight at his face and said, "I don't know either. ”

On a charter flight to San Bernardino, Alfred was researching a file full of briefcases. Although this was a bad omen, Franos did not bother him. Because he knew that Alfred would never reveal anything to him no matter what.

Arriving at the airport were three enclosed sedans and six Eastwood family fighters.

Alfred got into one car and motioned for Franos to get into another, another bad omen!

It was just dawn when the car pulled into the security gate of the Eastwood family compound in San Bernardino.

The door was guarded by two guards, and the rest of the guards were scattered throughout the compound, but women and children were nowhere to be seen.

After getting out of the car, Franos said to Alfred, "Where has the family gone, gone to Disneyland?" ”； But Alfred wouldn't answer his joke.

In the living room of the family mansion, the first thing Franos saw was eight people in a circle, two in the middle of which were talking cordially. He suddenly felt "plop" in his heart! "One jump.

They were Fixio and Leah, and Hammer was watching them with a look of anger on his face.

Fixio and Leah seem to be very close, but Leah wears only loose pants and a shirt, and no jacket or tie. Franos knew Leah, and he was usually very particular about what he dressed, so it meant that he was searched and disarmed.

Indeed, he really looked like a happy mouse, surrounded by a group of cheerful and vicious cats.

As soon as Leah saw Franos, she nodded sadly at him. Fixio never looked at him. However, when Alfred led Franos into the back room, Fixio suddenly stopped, leaving Leah there and following him with Hammer.

Don #Eastwood is waiting for them there.

He sat in a huge armchair and smoked a cigar. Hammer walked over and handed Don a glass of wine from the bar, but gave nothing to Franos. Fixio was still standing in the doorway. Alfred sat down on the couch next to Don and motioned for Franos to sit beside him.

Due to his old age, Tang's face looked a little haggard and did not show a trace of emotion.

Franos kissed him on the cheek and the back of his hand.

Don looked at him, as if he was a little melancholy, and his face became gentle.

"Franos #Mitnik, that's a neat job. Now, though, you have to give your reasons. I'm Thayer's grandfather, and my daughter is his mother. These men were his uncles. You have to give an account to all of us. Don spoke.

Franos tried to keep his composure and said, "I don't understand. ”。

Alfred snapped, "Thayer, where is he?" ”！

"Oh my God, how would I know? He never reported it to me. He's probably having fun in Mexico. Frans said as if surprised.

Alfred said, "You don't understand? Don't pretend! You would have been convicted a long time ago. Where did you throw him? ”。

At the bar, Hammer turned his back as if he didn't dare to look at him head-on. Behind him, Franos could hear Fixio approaching the couch.

"What evidence is there? Who said I killed Thayer? Frans said.

"I said it!" It was Don who spoke, and he gently put the wine glass on the coffee table and said, "You see, I convict you." This sentence is not subject to appeal. I have asked you to come here to ask for forgiveness, but you must show that you have a valid reason for killing my grandson. ”

As soon as he heard the voice, the tone of his voice, Frans knew that everything was over. He and Leah were finished. But Leah already knew it in his heart, and he could see it from the look in his eyes just now.

Hammer turned to Franos, his grim face softened, and said, "Tell me the truth to my father, Franos, this is your only chance!" ”。

Don nodded and said, "Franos, your father is not only my friend, he is also my brother, a member of the Eastwood family, and so are you. Your father is my trusted friend. Therefore, I will hear you state your reasons. ”

Franos thought in his heart and said, "Thayer killed my father. I convicted him as you convicted me. He killed my father out of revenge and ambition. He is a member of the Saint-Alden family at heart! ”。

Don didn't react.

Frans continued: "How can I not avenge my father? My father gave me life, how can I forget him? Like my father, I have a great respect for the Eastwood family, and I don't doubt that you would be involved in this murder. However, I think you must have known that Thayer was guilty but did not do anything about it. In this case, how can I come to you for justice? ”。

"Your evidence?" Alfred asked.

"Someone like Tommy #Mitnick would never be caught off guard by a robbery thug, even if he was old! It was also a pure coincidence that Rocky was on the other side. No one in the room believed in coincidence. You all know that Thayer has sinned. And Don, you told me the story of the St. Alden family yourself. Who knows what Thayer's plans will be after he kills me, of course he knows what he will do. Next, kill several of his uncles. Franos did not dare to mention Don, and said, "He is counting on your love." ”。

Don put down his cigar. His face is unpredictable, but it shows a bit of melancholy.

Or did Hammer speak, and Hammer had always been closest to Don, and said, "Where did you leave the body?" Frans was silent; Hammer asked again. Franos couldn't answer him, couldn't get his words out of his mouth.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and then Tang finally raised his head to everyone and spoke: "It's not worth holding a funeral for a young man, what virtue do they have to hold a funeral for him?" How did they arouse the respect of the people? Young people have no compassion and no gratitude. My daughter is already crazy, why should we make this worse and discourage her hope of recovery. Just tell her that her son ran away, and it will be many years before she knows the truth! ”。

At this time, it seemed that everyone in the room was relieved. Hammer turned from the bar, and Fixio walked over and sat down on the couch next to Franos. Hammer was behind the bar, holding a glass of brandy to his lips as if to greet him.

"However, whether there is a valid reason or not, you have sinned against your family, and you must be punished. For you, it's a fine, and for Leah, it's a repayment. Don said.

Franos said: "Leah has nothing to do with Thayer, it's Lodge who does. Let me pay the ransom for him. I own half of the assets of the mansion, and I will give you half of this assets as compensation for me and Leah! ”。

Don #Eastwood seemed to be thinking about it and said, "You're loyal. With that, he turned to Alfred, then to Fixio and Hammer, and said, "If the three of you agree, I agree too." ”

The three men did not answer.

At this moment, it was as if Franos was waiting for the judge to announce his verdict. His palms were all sweaty.
