Arthur put away the 3 of spades and showed Carson the back of the 6 of clubs and the J of squares, and Carson shook his head and said nothing.

"Boy, what the hell are you doing? Are you very abnormal today, have you quarreled with your little girlfriend? She's such a hot girl, I really envy you......"

Carson was a short, round, middle-aged man, and his wife was mediocre, and he had always been envious of Arthur's good fortune. Several times I saw Gina running to the store looking for Arthur, his little eyes rolling and glowing outward. A young and lovely girl like Gina is really attractive everywhere.

At the mention of Gina, Arthur thought of having to pick her up from her school at night, which was a real nuisance.

Women are trouble, especially beautiful women, and they are troubles in trouble, and Yu Peng has a deep understanding of this.

In terms of the amount and speed of Arthur's girlfriend, there will definitely be no less trouble.

Arthur put the cards away, and he was sure that Carson hadn't lied to himself, and that only he could see the words behind the cards. The same can't be said, there may be some people who can see it, some people who can't, at least Carson can't.

After returning to the kitchen after smoking, Arthur looked at a few more people, and they all said that there was no writing on the back of the card.

Arthur probably knew in his heart that only he could see the words behind the cards so far, what might this mean?

For this crossing, Arthur is still very confused, and it is even stranger that these cards appear behind him inexplicably.

Last night the red heart turned into a goat's horn, what does the goat's horn mean?

Yu Peng's knowledge structure is mainly focused on: party building, professional sports, movies, some financial knowledge, a small amount of historical knowledge and a large number of physiological postures, and he does not understand any poetry, literary imagery, and mysticism.

He originally wanted to come to the United States in 1994, take a step ahead of the tide of Internet development, open several websites, one is a sports forum, one is an adult forum, and the other is a movie forum, and then go public, reinvest, and buy all kinds of high-quality stocks with foresight, and live a rich life in the United States without shame.

When it comes to that point, we will give back to the motherland, stumble on the US imperialism, and create opportunities for the development of our homeland on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

It's beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and now he can only brush the dishes in the restaurant, and then he will immediately be involved in a murder. As for how to break the game, the mystery is focused on four strange playing cards.

Thinking about this while doing things, Arthur actually had the bottom in his heart, otherwise he would not have agreed to Tony's request to do this task. He was sure that if he didn't agree to do it, it wouldn't end well, because he already knew that he was going to kill Abramo, and Tony had every excuse to kill him.

It's better to follow the promise first, and then walk step by step and see.

I was busy until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were fewer and fewer people in the restaurant, only a few old people gathered together to drink coffee and chat.

At this moment, the bell rang at the door, and someone came in, a middle-aged man in a dark brown suit, and a tall man in a Puma tracksuit - it was Casey and Russell.

Last night it was agreed that Casey and Russell would come over this afternoon to inform Arthur of the plan. When the Jewish store manager saw the two of them, he hurriedly handed over two cups of coffee, and cold sweat broke out on his head, and he said in his heart, "Why are these two plague gods here?" Did they know about lending money with their business money?

After Arthur threatened him with this in the locker room in the morning, the store manager was distraught. He thought that what he did was leaking, but he didn't know that it was still leaking, but Arthur, a stunned boy, knew about it. Arthur is Tony's nephew after all, and Tony doesn't like him anymore, but the two are still related.

Thinking that he used to wear all kinds of little shoes for Arthur to please Tony, the store manager felt that he was too stupid, and the blood relationship was indelible after all......

"Hey Schmidt, call Arthur." Casey took a sip of her coffee and said to the store manager.

The store manager was still thinking nonsense, and when he heard the word Arthur, he was startled and hurriedly said, "What? Arthur? What happened to Arthur? ”

"I mean, call Arthur here!" Casey emphasized, "Schmidt, you don't look good, did something happen?" ”

Of course, the store manager's face was not good, he swallowed his saliva and said, "It's nothing... Arthur, Arthur is busy in the back kitchen, is there anything to do with him? ”

Russell on the side said coldly: "Call Arthur over, we have something to talk to him." ”

Russell's tone was as stiff as a knife, he was a man of few words, and once he spoke, he was in trouble.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to call him right away. ”

Schmidt's heart jumped suddenly, he was afraid that Casey and Russell were here to deal with the loan matters, one of these two people was Tony's military advisor, and the other was Tony's number one thug, both of whom were ruthless. Now that they let Arthur pass, is it to make further confirmation?

When he walked into the back kitchen, Schmidt's legs were limp, and he was already thinking about whether to escape through the back door.

But where can he go? If you run, the monk can't run to the temple.

"Ya... Arthur, Arthur, come over here," the store manager's voice was obviously out of breath, "don't wash the dishes, someone is looking for you." ”

Arthur stopped what he was doing, shook his hand, and said, "Who is looking for me?" Is it Casey and Russell? ”

The store manager pulled Arthur over and whispered, "That's right, you tell me, are they for... For the sake of lending? ”

Arthur knew that the store manager had misunderstood, and decided to scare him, saying, "That's right, they received some news, but they are not sure yet, so they asked me to ask, it was the middle of last night." So I didn't stay in the store and went home, they did. ”

The store manager was so frightened that his legs were weak and he almost knelt in front of Arthur, but he held Arthur's arm tightly so that he didn't fall, and said in a trembling voice: "Really... Really, Arthur? Arthur, you have to save me, I... I don't dare anymore, I'll give you back all the salary I deducted before, and I will give you a bonus this month, how about it? ”

Arthur sneered in his heart, thinking that this Jewish store manager was really a mouse's guts, so timid, he didn't know how he dared to use the money in the store to lend.

The fact that Mitt dared to lend money from the store shows that he is not timid, but the gang people are too cruel, and after seeing that kind of cruelty, no matter how bold the person is, he will be scared when he realizes that the matter is going to be revealed.

Arthur patted the store manager's bald head and comforted: "Don't worry, Schmidt, I won't say it for the time being, I'm still waiting for you to give me a bonus." They should have something else to do with me, and I might have to leave the store for a while. ”

The store manager was temporarily relieved to hear Arthur say this, and Arthur left the back kitchen and came to the hall, where he sat down in front of Casey and Russell at the round table in the corner.

Casey took a sip of coffee and said, "How about Arthur, did you go back last night and figure it out?" Do you want to complete this task? ”

Last night, Tony's mouth was very good, and after telling the general plan, let Arthur go back and think about it, if he didn't want to do it, forget it.

Think about it, if Arthur doesn't agree, Tony will soon find an excuse to kill him. From the moment Tony came up with the idea of asking Arthur to kill Abramo, he had already set his sights on Arthur. The people of these gangs, many times, want to kill someone, and they don't need too good reasons, they can kill you with a reason and an excuse.

Arthur was the son of the Luciano family, after all, and one of the memories in his mind was that as a child, he saw his father, Luthor, stone the head of another New York family to death by the creek. Soon after, Luthor also died in a car accident.

For the ferocity of the gang people, Yu Peng, who fused Arthur's memory, was touched, once it comes to wealth and power, any blood and family affection are all bullshit.

Arthur nodded and said to Casey, "I've thought about it, I don't want to wash dishes here anymore, I want to join the family business, so I'm willing to do it." ”

Casey and Russell looked at each other, and before they came, Tony told them that if Arthur didn't agree, he would find an opportunity to kill him.

Tony had been hesitating in his heart for a long time, and if Arthur didn't agree to kill Abramo, it was just the right excuse to give him. Casey and Russell had 10,000 ways to kill Arthur, then bury him somewhere where the birds don't poop, wait for a few tens or a hundred years, and then be dug up.

In the woods, parks, and rocky beaches near New York, there are unrested souls roaming the ground, and they don't mind having another one.

Seeing that Arthur agreed, Casey finished the coffee in the cup and said, "Good Arthur, worthy of the Luciano family." Specific plan, you follow Russell, Russell will explain your specific plan. ”

With that, Casey patted Russell on the shoulder, and the two got up, letting Arthur leave the restaurant with them.

The store manager had been paying attention to the small round table from beginning to end, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them leave, and it seemed that Arthur had indeed not said anything.

Out of the restaurant, on an afternoon at the end of March, when the sun was just right, Casey drove away, and Arthur got into Russell's car.

Russell is tall and burly, and his status is similar to that of Luca Bradge from The Godfather, a reliable bodyguard and ruthless killer. Arthur has the impression that he followed Tony after the death of his father Luthor, and was Tony's right-hand man along with Casey.

Russell drove Arthur on the road and was short on the George Washington Bridge, which connects Manhattan to Fort Lee, New Jersey. Arthur looked at the scenery floating outside the field, he had been to New York on a tour, and the scenery outside the car window was both familiar and unfamiliar. Coming to a place to play and live is completely different. What's more, there is a gap of more than 20 years in between.

"We're going to Jersey?" Arthur turned to Russell and asked.

Russell just nodded, but did not reply, he had always spoken very little, and in Arthur's impression he had heard him say no more than 10 sentences.

He seems to have a limit on the amount of speech he can speak every day, cherishing words like gold, and never using his mouth to solve it with his eyes and gestures.

"When that's done, can you take me to Brooklyn?" I'm going to pick up my girlfriend and take it home. Arthur thought of picking up Gina home in the evening.

At this point, Gina is already out of school, but there are many extracurricular activities after school in high schools in the United States, Gina participates in the school's dance club, is also a member of the basketball cheerleading team, and is estimated to be home at six o'clock.

Arthur calculates the time, and if he goes by himself, it may be too late, and it is better for someone to send him. But looking at Russell's cold appearance, I'm afraid there is no hope. He didn't nod or shake his head, just concentrated on driving.

The traffic in New York was smooth at three o'clock, but the sky was slowly getting gloomy, the air was a little stuffy, and it looked like it might rain. Russell turned on the car stereo, and a cacophony of organ sounded in his ears, a gloomy prelude that didn't look like American pop music in the '90s.

"What is this Russell? Classical music? Bach? "Arthur's knowledge of classical music is only Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc., plus a little symphony, and nothing else.

And Russell seems to be a little surprised that Arthur knows about Bach, this guy who only knows women and gambling still knows about Bach?

He finally spoke, squeezing a word out between his teeth, "Lacrimosa." ”

"What? Do not understand. ”

"It's German, it means to wash your face with tears."

As he spoke, Russell pointed to the passenger compartment, which Arthur opened to find a revolver inside.

"Oh...... This... Is this the gun I'm going to use? Seeing the gun, Arthur was still a little nervous, this free America, shooting every day, he was not used to it.

Russell said, "Tapes." ”

Arthur then saw that a cassette case was pressed under the gun, and it was pulled out, and the cover was printed with the image of a clown. The clown holds up the word "Lacrimosa" with his hands outstretched, and the clown's face seems to be crying with tears on his face.

It's a German band that goes in the gothic rock style, which is kind of niche in the United States, and Arthur thinks Russell will listen to MJ or Whitney Houston or something. I didn't expect to listen to gothic rock, it looks like a really weird guy.

Arthur thinks it's a pity when he thinks about it, he doesn't have all five tones, he can only listen to and can't sing, otherwise he can hum a few songs and sell copyrights, and it is estimated that he can live quite nourishingly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're German, Russell?" Arthur asked, putting the tape back in the storage compartment.

"Yes." Russell popped out another word, adding a moment later: "But I grew up in Lithuania." ”

"Huh? Lithuania? Arthur glanced at Russell.

Russell didn't speak again, he felt like he was talking a little too much.

But Arthur didn't shut up and asked, "Did you grow up in your cousin's house?" He also goes skiing with you? ”

Arthur's question is strange.

Russell stopped the car and turned his head to look at Arthur deeply, and the two of them looked at each other in the car.

Russell turned off the car and said, "We're here, let's get out of the car." ”

There was still a song by the band "Lacrimosa" on the stereo, in German, Arthur couldn't understand it, but Russell could understand it.

“… I curse the memories and send you away, you lie in my grave to warm my coffin..."
