Chapter 58: Framed

"Dididi, Didi, Didi~"

An alarm clock rang to wake Arthur from his sleep.

He reached out and pressed off the alarm clock on the bedside table, and opened his sleepy eyes, and the bright sunlight outside the window was already shining through the curtains. Needless to say, it's a nice weather outside. Arthur got up from the bed in a daze, but heard what seemed to be an argument next door.

Arthur's master bedroom is next door to Uncle Secy's house, and he had some conflicts with Arthur because he and Gina were too loud, which made Uncle Cesi unhappy. Arthur didn't care and continued to go his own way, and Secy couldn't do anything about him. Every time they meet in the corridor, they always give Arthur two white eyes as a meeting gift.

Getting dressed and getting up, Gina was making breakfast in the kitchen. Ever since her father, Carter, entrusted her to Arthur, Gina has expected herself to do the laundry and cook for her lover like a traditional Italian woman. She has not yet reached the age of experiencing the boredom and emptiness of life, and thinks that doing housework for a man and taking care of children at home is what happiness looks like. It was also her ideal family life, something she had never enjoyed. In the past, my mother never cooked at home, did not do any housework, and lived like a princess. And Gina, through television, books, and home economics classes at school, has vaguely imagined a blueprint for her future family life.

Of course, she wasn't very good at cooking, so more often than not, Arthur would rather do it himself, as he was used to being in the kitchen anyway.

"Hey, what's going on next door?" Arthur leaned against the kitchen door and asked Gina if she was making spaghetti.

"I don't know, there has been a quarrel in their house last night, and Uncle Ceci has a loud voice. I could hear his daughter crying. ”

At the mention of Sisi's daughter, Arthur frowned. Ceci has always treated her daughter as a treasure and kept it in the palm of her hand all day long. Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, but he always felt that Arthur was going to seduce his daughter, which made Arthur unbearable. Your daughter Qiao Ya is not a beautiful girl, just an ordinary girl who works in a shopping mall after graduating from high school. Of course, working at the counter in the mall does look more decent, but compared to his Gina, it is far worse. Especially since she looks so much like Cecy, it would be disgusting if Arthur was going to do something to her and think of Uncle Secy when he saw her face.

"Let them go...... Oh, there's no more beer in the fridge, remember to remind me to buy some. There's a grand finale tonight and I want to watch the game with a beer. ”

Today is June 8, 1994, and this season's Finals will be played tonight at 7 p.m. at the Compaq Center in Houston against the New York Knicks and the Houston Rockets. Arthur asked Abramo to help him buy a rocket at the casino to win by 7 points, because he remembered the result of the first game very well, and he had watched the footage of the 7 big games in the later world many times, even at half-time he remembered.

He is now thinking in his mind how to manipulate the results of the finals and make Jackie bleed. According to Abramo, Jackie himself is also betting with larger international bookmakers to hedge against the risks of sitting in the bank. In a finals-level game, it is quite difficult for external forces to manipulate. In fact, when it comes to the division finals, it will be difficult to control, unless the league makes its own move, and Arthur has won back a lot of money.

After breakfast and getting dressed, Gina took the subway to school, and Arthur went to work at Luciano's restaurant. Ever since Dorothy said she was going to take back the restaurant's rights last week, Schmidt has often not given Arthur a good look. Of course, Arthur didn't bother to pay attention to him, he should skip work or skip work, and went to Nassau County to help his sister clean up the villa, and by the way, he had a small meeting, set up an organization, and assigned some tasks. Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and he can continue to hide in the shadows as his little cook, waiting for a chance to surface.

Changed in the locker room and everything was business as usual in the dining room. Schmidt was settling accounts at the front desk, and he seemed to have figured it out and didn't give Arthur another look. The waitress in the restaurant has changed again, and her eyes lit up after seeing Arthur, and the waitresses in the New York restaurant are all short-term workers. The black handyman named Willy greeted Arthur while whistling, he was optimistic and cheerful, he didn't think about anything on weekdays, he just worked hard, and he was a very good person to get along with. Carson complained in the back kitchen that the temperature of the air conditioner was not low enough and that he had to add coolant, which he complained every day anyway.

Arthur continued his work, waiting for the freezer to come and carry the steaks, cut the steaks with a wire saw, and the busy morning passed, and everything was as usual.

When it was time for lunch, Arthur suddenly wanted to eat seafood fried rice in Chinatown, so he had to go to the front desk to call the restaurant for takeout. Schmidt was on the phone, and when he saw Arthur coming, he hung up the phone with a "snap". There was something strange about his expression and he seemed nervous. Arthur looked at Schmidt, "Hey Schmidt, who are you talking to?" And your lover? Don't worry, I won't tell your wife...... Lend me the phone, and I'll order takeout. ”

Schmidt pushed the phone in front of Arthur, who still looked strange, Arthur didn't know what was going on, but he always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, the door "jingled" and someone pushed the door in. Arthur subconsciously glanced up and found that it was two middle-aged people in suits, one black and one white. They showed Schmidt their ID cards and said, "We're detectives from the NYPD, is there a guy named Arthur Luciano working for you?" ”

Schmidt pointed to Arthur, who was about to make a call.

The two detectives walked up to Arthur and showed him his police ID, and the white detective said, "Mr. Arthur Luciano, we arrest you for second-degree sexual assault, you have the right to remain silent, and everything you say will be used as a confession." Please put your hands behind your back, Mr. Luciano. ”

Arthur was a little stunned for a while, second-degree sexual assault? Although Arthur is involved in flowers, he will never do such a tasteless thing as sexual assault. He doesn't need to. Besides, he has been very well-behaved in the past two days, commuting to and from work normally every day after the meeting on the weekend, and he is tired of being with Gina, how can he have the kung fu and mood to commit crimes?

He immediately reacted, this is a conspiracy, someone is targeting him, who could it be? Montolo? Jackie? Or someone from another family? Arthur thinks that all kinds of actions are carried out in private, and Abu, Russell and others are very trustworthy, but there must be something flawed. Or, he was part of the other party's plan.

Arthur didn't resist, he put his hands behind his back and asked the black detective to handcuff himself.

He glanced at Schmidt before leaving, and saw that his eyes flickered unnaturally, this guy must be bored. The colleagues in the restaurant were all surprised, ran to the front and whispered, Schmidt shouted, "All go back to work, work!" He behaved so abnormally that he was not surprised by Arthur's arrest, and did not even say a few words for Arthur.

Escorted to the car by two detectives, Arthur asked, "Can I make a phone call?" ”

"When you get to the police station, let's find yourself a better lawyer." The black detective sitting next to Arthur said.

Arthur kept his mouth shut. He was neither restless nor anxious to exonerate himself and shout that he had been wronged. He was just thinking about it and going through all the people who might have framed him in his head. At the same time, let yourself digest the bad emotions that suddenly come to an unexpected way.

His performance attracted the attention of the two detectives. The white detective who drove the car was called Brown, and the black detective who was sitting in the back was called Juan.

"Do you know what kind of charges and sentences you're going to face, a second-degree felony of sexual assault... You look so handsome, there's no need to do that. Brown, who was driving, said.

"If you were so prescient, you shouldn't have arrested me." Arthur said.

"But I'm not a judge, I'm a police officer, and it's my job to arrest you."

"Can I know who I violated was arrested?" Arthur still wanted to know who he was committing his crimes.

"Looks like you've violated a lot of people." Juan, a black police detective on the side, clearly misunderstood what Arthur meant.

Arthur didn't bother to explain, he leaned his head on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, he thought to himself, in the United States, he had done all the murder and burial things, and he couldn't go to the police station and go to the court to see the world. I just don't know how to solve the lawyer's problem, and I heard Dorothy say that Otto's heart is not towards himself, he is towards Montolo. And what about Gina, she must be worried, maybe she will believe that she really did something like that? That wasn't what he wanted to see.

Thinking of this, a belated anger suddenly filled Arthur's chest, and he clenched his fists and secretly vowed to kill all those who framed him!

"Her name is Joya Ceci, and I've heard about your neighbor." Brown answered Arthur's question.

Arthur's eyes slowly opened, showing anger.
