Arthur followed Russell out of the car, and they parked in the parking lot of a community hospital in New Jersey, where Russell told Arthur that the car would be parked on the day of the operation, and then Arthur would go to Abramo's lover's apartment and go upstairs to kill Abramo.

Arthur asked Russell a few more times if he grew up in his cousin's house when he was a child and if he had ever gone sledding, but Russell never said a word, completely ignoring Arthur. He seems to have automatically blocked the issue.

Arthur had no choice but to follow Russell a few streets to the vicinity of Abramo's lover's apartment, and he pointed to an apartment building with a red façade: "That's it, go up from the only doorway, the second floor, the room on the right." ”

"I... What should I do? Knock? Still is... I don't know much about killing. Arthur said.

He really doesn't know much about killing, he hasn't even fired a gun, let him kill?

In comparison, Russell is a master of guns, and his hands are stained with a lot of blood, and in theory, Russell is the best person to assassinate Abramo.

But Tony was reluctant to let his most reliable killer do such a thing, and it was not an assassination that only benefited the Luciano family. According to the plan of the three families, after the assassination is successful, they will rob Abramo of his property in Jersey, including transportation fees, site protection fees, the transportation and management rights of the two garbage disposal sites, and other ways. The Luciano family received the least of them, and who made them the weakest?

Therefore, Tony was not willing to let Russell work, the hearts of the three families were obviously not aligned, and this so-called assassination was not planned at all.

Russell said: "Whatever you want, you can wait for Abramo here, follow him upstairs, and then shoot him at the door." It is also possible that after he goes upstairs, after a while he goes upstairs and knocks on the door, he opens the door and shoots him with one shot. Or when he comes down from the upper floors after his tryst, he rushes out and shoots him to death. ”

Russell seemed to have used up a week's share of speech at once, giving Arthur a little bit of knowledge.

But when Arthur heard this plan, it was just nonsense, anyway, Lao Tzu rushed up and shot him to death. If he was so easy to kill, why didn't you kill him earlier?

Russell also took out a photo from his pocket and gave it to Arthur, saying, "This is Abramo, remember." ”

Arthur took the photo, which showed a burly middle-aged man, about forty, with gray hair and a cold face.

Prior to this, Abramo had already dodged two assassination attempts in the "war" between the two sides, costing the New York side two gunmen. He is alert, physically strong, cunning and ruthless, and does a good job of protecting himself. The first assassination attempt was the most likely to succeed, as the gunman shot at him in the parking lot, but he skilfully dodged it, and then fired back, killing the gunman.

He still has two gun holes left in his car that have not been repaired, and he threatens to remind himself to be cautious.

More than two months after his last assassination, Abramo has let his guard down slightly, and the demand for him can't bear to go on weekly dates with his Ukrainian lover, which has become his biggest vulnerability and weakness.

Arthur took his appearance to heart, and asked, "Shall I go and see the apartment building?" Arthur felt that it was necessary to step on a little more carefully, because he didn't know how to run when the time came.

Russell said: "No, the structure in the corridor is very simple, there is only one entrance and one exit, and the windows of the corridor on the second floor can jump down." If you go to be seen now, it will attract attention, and strangers are very conspicuous here. ”

Russell's words also have some truth, but the problem is that Arthur doesn't even know what is in the corridor, he is going to kill people, not to collect milk money.

Arthur is more and more sure that this assassination is a pit dug by Tony for himself, if he really does what Russell said, he can't kill Abramo, and if he can't do it, he will be killed by the other party.

However, Arthur didn't really want to kill Abramo, he had more important things on his mind, that card, that poem.

Following Russell back to the car, Arthur said, "Russell, do you want to take me to try robbing?" I... I haven't shot a gun yet. ”

Whether it was the original Arthur or Yu Peng, the only gun he had ever touched in his life was his own golden gun, and this musket had really never been touched.

Russell nodded and started the car, and he fell silent again.

……

Ten minutes later, Russell drove Arthur to a rocky beach on the Hudson River, across the river to New York on the other side of Jersey. A light rain had begun to fall in the sky, and New York City was shrouded in gray rain and mist, looming like a dormant monster.

There was no one around, there were two or three boats on the river, and it was far away, so Russell parked the car in an open space on the side of the road, asked Arthur to take out the revolver in the storage box, and got out of the car with him.

Arthur opened the storage compartment and picked up the gun, which was much heavier than expected, with a matte black gunshot, a plastic handle, and a box of six rounds. Arthur got out of the car with a gun and bullets, and the rain hit him in the face, cold, a cold wind blew, and a layer of goosebumps rose on his neck.

Russell walked ahead and led Arthur all the way down to the rocky beach, which was surrounded by the river on one side and the bushes on three sides, and it was raining, and no one would come at three o'clock in the afternoon near four o'clock. Russell held up a black umbrella, while Arthur did not have an umbrella, and in a moment his hair was already wet, and the rain was getting heavier.

Russell stopped and said to Arthur: "Ruger GP100, got from a special channel, clean gun, the handle has been processed, and it will not leave fingerprints. Six rounds, enough for use. It's best to get closer, aim at your head, and pull the trigger. It's better not to be more than two meters away, otherwise ......"

A clean gun means that it has not been used in other crimes, otherwise the ballistic characteristics of the gun will be recorded, and the police will be able to find out the source of the gun as soon as it is checked.

The difficulty of using a pistol in all firearms is the largest, because it is not easy to control, the barrel is short, the accuracy is poor, for a novice, if the gun is fired at a distance of more than three meters, it is basically "I aimed at your head but shot your balls", if you are nervous, hand shaking, plus the opponent's resistance, the hit rate can be imagined.

So the best way is to get closer, put the barrel against the opponent's head, and shoot down, basically without making a mistake.

Arthur took out the bullets from the box and put them into the roulette wheel one by one, his hands trembled slightly, the first time a man touched the gun, he probably did this, looking forward to the moment when the bullets were fired, both scared and excited.

Loaded with his bullets, Arthur closed the wheel, held the gun in both hands, and raised his gun to aim at the river, following the posture seen on TV.

In the past, I watched a lot of Hong Kong TV dramas, and the posture of the Hong Kong policemen holding guns with both hands is still very standard, which is stable and conducive to aiming and shooting. For example, some black gang members have a variety of gun positions, one-handed, upside-down, obliquely, crookedly, anyway, no matter how enchanting they come, regardless of whether they can shoot accurately or not.

"Yes, good posture." Russell saw Arthur's posture with a gun, but praised it twice.

"You say, it's better to get closer, aim at your head, and then pull the trigger?" Arthur repeated what Russell had said, and he stood next to Russell, who was looking at him with an umbrella.

"That's right, head to head."

"Aim at the head...... Is that so? ”

Arthur said, then pointed his gun at Russell's head.

It was only a matter of moments, Arthur turned the head of the gun, and the rain fell even more.

Russell holds an umbrella, while Arthur is already drenched in the rain, and connecting the two is a black Ruger GP100 revolver.

Russell's face didn't fluctuate, he just blinked his eyes and said, "Arthur, what you're aiming at is Abramo's head." ”

Arthur said, "I know, but I want to ask you a few questions. ”

"You don't have to put a gun to my head to ask questions."

"Guns make people honest, and it's really not easy to get you to talk."

"I've always been honest, just don't talk much."

"Then tell me, did you grow up in your cousin's house when you were a child, and did you go skiing with you?"

Arthur asked this strange question again, because when Russell mentioned that he grew up in Lithuania, Arthur remembered the poem: ... I'm not Russian, I'm from Lithuania, I'm an authentic German. When we were young, we stayed at my cousin's house with the Grand Duke, and he took me out to the sled, and I was scared...

Russell is also German, he is also from Lithuania, and at the same time, Russell is often mistaken for a Russian because of his blonde hair and white, somewhat sickly skin.

Is this just a coincidence?

Arthur felt that he might have touched the edge of the mystery of solitaire, so he had to ask. In addition to this, he has other questions to ask, and for Russell, I am afraid he can't ask them without a gun.

"I... I can't remember, I don't remember much about my childhood. ”

Russell's answer disappointed Arthur a little, was it really just a coincidence?

No, Arthur was going to try, he let go of his grip on his left hand, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the 3 of spades. He pointed the back at Russell and asked, "Russell, can you see the words on the back?" ”

Russell squinted and nodded, "Yes, the word ......"

Arthur was overjoyed, but then it was dark in front of him! Russell suddenly waved his umbrella and hit Arthur, who was defenseless and the gun in his hand was knocked to the ground. Russell pounced on him and got into a scuffle with Arthur on the rocky beach. Russell is a master of martial arts, Arthur is not an opponent, and he is stuck in the neck and pushed to the ground.

Arthur couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, he was still in too much of a hurry, and took the risk of pointing a gun at Russell.

If Russell could, he could have killed him here, anyway, according to Tony's plan, it was to kill Arthur.

Arthur struggled, but felt the hand stuck in his neck getting tighter and tighter, he couldn't breathe, his brain blood supply was insufficient, and his vision was getting blurrier and blurred...... It's over the calf, is this going to be strangled to death just after crossing over? This TM, I knew that I had an in-depth communication with Gina last night......

Arthur felt like he was going to die, and just when it was about to be pitch black in front of him, something seemed to explode in his mind, and his throat moved uncontrollably, and he said to Russell, who was pinching him: "Mary... Mary..."

Hearing the name Mary, Russell's hand that he was pinching down suddenly stopped, and his originally hideous face gradually relaxed and calmed, and his hand slowly released from Arthur's neck. Arthur gasped for breath, blood re-entered his brain, and his eyes lit up again. Without hesitation, he punched Russell, knocking him off himself and knocking out a tooth.

Arthur's calf-like body, the strength of his fists is really big, and Russell can't control him at all if he doesn't know martial arts.

Arthur, who had been pulled back from the brink of death, immediately got up and picked up the gun on the ground. By this time, it was raining heavily, and both of them were drenched in the rain, but Arthur's cards were not affected at all, and the raindrops slid down the cards.

Arthur walked up to Russell with a gun, and Russell was knocked to the ground by a punch.

"Russell, can you see the words on it? If you can see it, read it to me, immediately, immediately! Arthur held a gun to Russell's forehead, blood mixed with rain trickling down the corner of Russell's mouth, and not far away was one of his teeth.

Russell stared at the back of the assignment, opened his mouth slightly, and read: "April is the cruelest month, and there are lilacs growing on the wasteland......"

When Russell finished reading the last word, his eyelids suddenly rolled over, his eyes were white, his throat made a strange sound, and then his body went limp, and the whole person fainted.

And Arthur stood in front of Russell and witnessed all this, he gasped for breath and felt a dull pain in his brain.

At this time, the verse on the back of the 3 of spades is gone, and the three spades of the 3 of spades on the front have turned into three black shield shapes, and a few lines of words have emerged at the same time: Name: Russell Judit, Occupation: Death Gunner Sequence: 8, Codename: Gravedigger, Criticism: Lie in your grave to warm the coffin.
