Arthur quickly saw that it was a man.

A man who climbed all the way down from the roof of the Empire State Building. His hand seemed to be firmly attached to the façade of the Empire State Building, and he descended all the way to the ground floor of the pedestal, which was also more than ten stories high, and the man climbed down the pillars of the pedestal building, and was about to reach the ground.

Arthur looked left and right, there was no one else around, this time was not the working time of the high-altitude glass man, could this person be some kind of commercial spy? Or stealing from the Empire State Building? No, no one would have climbed the exterior wall so blatantly, not to mention that this is the Empire State Building, not an ordinary building. Arthur looked at the person who was getting closer and closer, and felt a strange feeling. If you were an ordinary person, you would have run away long ago.

But Arthur didn't, so he stood there and waited for the man to climb down from the building. At this moment, Arthur's mind came to mind the image of the most famous climb of the Empire State Building, King Kong. The man fell to the ground, and Arthur was surprised to find that he knew him, the tall, thin homeless man who had been arrested in the middle of the night at the police station that day, the guy named "Vincent".

His long hair fluttered in the wind in the darkness of the night and the lights of the building, and he walked towards Arthur with a somewhat messy footsteps—he seemed to be drunk again. This is a weirdo who runs to climb the Empire State Building after getting drunk, and the last time he was caught by the police while drunk, he didn't know what he did out of the ordinary. In the square in front of the Empire State Building, dozens of short flagpoles were erected, each with the Star-Spangled Banner of the United States, making a "poof" sound, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

The homeless man walked up to Arthur, stood not far away, looked at Arthur, and said, "Do you want to see the night view of New York?" I can take you to the top of the building. ”

Arthur didn't know how to answer for a while, who is this guy? The last time he appeared out of nowhere and reminded him in his ear to be careful, this time he appeared in front of him in an uncanny way, saying strange things. Just then, a security guard from the building came out and yelled at the homeless man to stop. The homeless man named Vincent hurriedly said to Arthur: "If you want to see the night view of New York, you must tell me, and I will take you to see it!" ”

With that, he ran towards Fifth Avenue, where he ran fast and disappeared around the corner of the street, leaving the building's security guard gasping for breath. These guys, it's time to get a good workout on their bodies.

A white security guard with a big belly walked up to Arthur and asked, "Sir, that guy didn't do anything to you, did he?" I see he's talking to you. ”

Arthur said: "Yes, he said, the night view from the top of the building is very good, and asked me if I wanted to see it." ”

"Madman, this madman."

"He used to... Have you ever been crazy like this? ”

"It's not the first time, he often comes at night and climbs up the top of the outer wall. This time he scared the tourists on the observation floor, and we called the police, but we still didn't catch him! This madman, he's going to fall to his death one day. ”

It turns out that this is not the first time that this homeless man has climbed the Empire State Building, and he has climbed to the top in one go, which is incredible. Of course, Arthur has seen on the news that these extreme sports enthusiasts will secretly climb the world's famous high-rise buildings to challenge themselves. And in the United States, before 1994, back in 1983, there was a man named Burson-Ham who climbed the Empire State Building with his bare hands. Earlier, since 1977, New York has had a traditional competition dedicated to climbing the Empire State Building, and this year it is the seventeenth year.

These climbs are officially permitted, and sneaky climbs like homeless people can be expelled by security guards and even detained by the police.

Arthur left the Empire State Building and walked all the way to a Greek restaurant on the banks of the Hudson River around the wee hours of the morning. He made an appointment with Matthew to meet here at midnight tonight. Matthew's time is relatively unfree, he has a lot of chores to do in the Gandolfil family, and in order to avoid suspicion, he must always be careful as a double agent. For Arthur, Matthew's presence is crucial, and it is through him that he can better understand the weaknesses of the Gandolfer family.

After this grand final, the Gandolfer family was financially damaged and at the same time went to war with black gangs, causing panic in the hearts of the people. And the Luciano family has temporarily fallen into a state of "leaderless" after a round of purge, even if Jackie feels that something is wrong, he has no time to take care of it for the time being. After confirming Dior's disappearance, he has realized that his layout has failed, but he does not know what the problem is.

Jackie thought that Sylves was in charge of all this, after all, Sylves was the biggest beneficiary of this purge surface, and he became the temporary interlocutor of the Luciano family. Sylvais looks rough and reckless, but he is loyal and tough, and he is unfazed by Jackie's solicitations. So back then, Luthor and Tony handed over the family's most stable financial resources to him for control. Now that he has fought back, it is not surprising.

Jackie, who has suffered heavy losses in the casino, is bound to recover some losses on the drug line, and he doesn't know that his second leg has long been firmly targeted by Arthur. After a period of fighting, Bamond's side had reduced the supply of the Gandolfil family by half and began to buy goods from Sylvais at a cheaper price. Of course, intimidated by the power of the Gandol Phil family, Bamond did not dare to completely run out of stock. And Arthur thinks that it is not for the buyer to run out of stock, it is better to let the seller cut off the supply.

Arthur walks into this 24-hour Greek restaurant, where people still drink and dine in the wee hours of the morning, leaning against the window and watching the Hudson River at night. It's a high-end restaurant, and the people inside are all dressed in smart clothes and whispering in the slightly dim restaurant lighting. Arthur wore a gray shirt and washed whitish light blue jeans tonight, tucked into his jeans. His hair was cut short, his face was clean-shaven, and he wore a pair of white perforated sneakers on his feet, typical of the American middle class in the '90s.

He walked into the restaurant without attracting anyone's attention, and despite his handsome appearance, his outfit was too ordinary. The hostess still stepped forward to ask Arthur if he had a reservation, Arthur reported Matthew's name, and the hostess led him inside, to a seat in a more hidden corner. After sitting down, Arthur was given a glass of lemonade, Arthur looked at his watch, and there were still ten minutes before midnight.

Arthur looked around, the men and women who bowed their heads and whispered, pushed glasses and changed lamps, exchanging loneliness and secrets with each other in the middle of the night in New York. Most of the people who come out for dinner and tryst at this time are lovers and close friends. At a table near the window with a view of the Hudson River, a man with curly black hair and a white coat sat next to two graceful women. They sipped the wine in their glasses, in intimate form, and from time to time they let out a whispering laughter. This is a charismatic Italian man, who can see that the two girls are carefully and unobtrusively flattering him, and the man is happy to use it and immerse himself in it.

After more than ten minutes, at midnight, the door of the restaurant was opened again, and Matthew entered. Arthur saw Matthew and looked towards him to get up to say hello, but he quickly realized that something wasn't right. Matthew's face stiffened, and instead of looking at Arthur, he looked behind him over Arthur. Arthur lowered his body and head and looked elsewhere, while Matthew stepped forward, passed Arthur, and walked straight to the bathroom inside.

Arthur knew what was going on, he sat still, sat down in his seat and drank the mint lemonade in front of him, it was slightly spicy, and the cool feeling ran from his throat to his brain. He began to wonder what was going on, and why did Matthew pretend not to know him? Could it be that their relationship has been discovered, and there is danger here?

Arthur looked around, but nothing had happened. Matthew would never betray him, and he must have had a reason for doing that. Arthur waited another minute before he decided to go to the bathroom to have a look, and the bathroom door opened and Matthew walked out. Then, Matthew suddenly rushed to the table of the black-haired man in white by the window, took out a pistol from his arms, and shot the man three times in a row!

Two shots were shot in the chest, one in the head, killing him instantly. The man in white died straight. After firing the shot, Matthew grabbed the door, got into a car, and sped away. And the restaurant was full of screams, and it was already a mess.

Arthur never left his seat, watched what happened, and then he got up from his seat and walked to the bathroom. Groping around the urinal, he found a note stuck to the back of the pumped tank. It says what Matthew is going to tell him tonight.
