Winters in Florida are also very warm, and Tallahassee, the best city in the United States to live in, is still green.

After months of recuperation, Marianne's leg was finally completely healed. However, her mood is getting more and more annoying.

At first, she didn't tell Zhou Zhen about joining the Psychological Society, and she met Horford's pursuit, and the two things added up, and it became more and more difficult for her to speak.

Horford's pursuit of her has begun to affect her life, but because she didn't tell Kevin in the first place, it's harder for her to confide in Kevin now.

It's an ordinary winter afternoon, school is in session, and the café is getting deserted.

Marianne sat behind a glass window enjoying the warm sunshine, with a new fashion home magazine in front of her.

Sensing someone approaching, she looked up, and Horford was already sitting across from her.

Horford was a young, handsome young man of Irish descent with a melancholic temperament who was popular in school.

He and Kevin are two different types, although such a man is very popular with girls, but for Marianne, with Kevin, she has no interest in this young boy.

"Marianne, there's a play in the Little Theatre tonight, can you come with me to see it?"

Marianne shook her head and said, "Horford, we've known each other for more than three months, did I give you the wrong hint in the course of dating?" ”

"Nope." Hoffman looked down with a look of disappointment on his face.

Marianne explained, "I'm six years older than you, and I'm still a married woman, so your attention should be on the young girls at school, not on me......"

"But I love you! Marianne, I don't know what's wrong with me, you seem to have a kind of magic that steals my heart......"

Rodriguez, the café's chef, heard the movement and walked over. "Marianne, do you need help?"

His eyes stared at Horford coldly and said, "Mr. Horford, you should have met Kevin, Marianne has a good relationship with his husband and wife, and you are now like this, which has caused trouble in her life." ”

Marianne said, "No, Rodriguez, please let us figure it out ourselves, okay?" ”

Rodriguez shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, I'll help you keep an eye on him." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Horford suddenly pulled out a pistol, pointed at Rodriguez and said madly: "Bastard, don't you know that I love Marianne?" I love Marianne more than that Kevin! ”

Rodriguez took two steps back and said reassuringly, "Hey, man, don't get excited. ”

Horford didn't have the heart to listen to him at all, stood up, put his hands on the table and looked down at Marianne and said: "Marianne, I will love you more than Kevin, I can't imagine you and Kevin lying in the same bed, marry me......"

Marianne was also a little stunned when she saw the gun, and when she heard Horford's words, she reacted, and instinctively shook her head and said, "No, I love Kevin." ”

"Give me a chance!"

"I'm sorry ......"

Horford burst into tears, shook his head and said, "If I can't spend this life with you, then what's the point of life!" ”

"Bang...... Bang! Two gunshots rang out, and Marianne looked at the blood on her chest in amazement, and reached out to grab something, but she couldn't hang down.

There was a lot of screaming in the café, and the waiter and a few small customers rushed out.

Rodriguez also hid behind the desk and threw out a chair that didn't hit Horford.

Horford had no intention of chasing anyone else, and there seemed to be no one else in his eyes, just staring at Marianne who was sitting upside down on the couch.

There was a hint of horror on Marianne's face that made her face look a little distorted, and her eyes stared feebly at the ceiling above.

Horford came to her side, gently held her head in his arms, and gently covered her eyes.

Then he sat down in his seat, put his arm around Marianne, and raised his gun with his other hand, aiming it at his temple.

"Bang ......" was another gunshot.

"Kevin, in recent times, there have been media critics for illegal acts in the investigation and evidence collection of the robbery in Woodville with the police. Personally, I don't think you should follow up on this case. ”

Woodville, a small town twenty kilometers southwest of Tallahas, was robbed by a Latino man half a month ago.

Half of the residents of this original miners' town are Latinos, and they are very concerted and use threats and other means to intimidate other ethnic groups, which has caused the police to encounter great obstacles in the investigation.

Zhou Zhen has been busy with this case recently. I know that the police don't actually have too many violations, but someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes and artificially creating confrontational feelings.

Such criminal cases involve racial disputes, which are often difficult to deal with and unprofitable.

Zhou Zhen didn't care about the case, but was a little annoyed by the media coverage.

They photographed Zhou Zhen taking a brown bag from Sheriff Colin, which contained information.

But he deliberately used the same cowhide bag, which contained two thousand dollars, to pose for a photo.

This kind of bribery is enough to ruin a prosecutor's career, making Zhou Zhen difficult to argue.

He looked at Prosecutor General Gaitry and said, "I just intervened in this case and haven't understood the whole case, why would anyone target me?" ”

Gaitry shook his head and said, "Until your innocence is confirmed, it's hard for us to continue our investigation. ”

Zhou Zhen shook his head and said: "This kind of thing is easy to verify, and it is easy to clarify it by investigating with the reporter in the "Gulf Daily" that published the photo. ”

Gaitry looked at Zhou Zhen for a while before saying, "How can you prove that you didn't take this money?" ”

Zhou Zhen shook his head and said, "When a person has $600,000 in cash in his bank, will he lose his job for $2,000?" ”

In the spring of this year, Zhou Zhen sold Cisco's shares, and because he began to withdraw some of the funds, he actually made a profit of nearly 800,000 yuan, which did not reach the million dollars expected at the beginning.

But this money is already a lot, and in the United States, there are very few people who can come up with 600,000 in cash.

Gaitre paused for a moment and asked, "Why do you have so much money?" ”

Zhou Zhen shook his head and said, "I promise that they are all legal property." ”

His tone softened considerably. "Let's do it today, we'll discuss it at our regular meeting next week."

In addition to Gatter's office, his secretary Michelle said with some resentment: "What a confusion between black and white, Kevin, have you offended anyone lately?" ”

No one Zhou Zhen could believe it, he smiled and shook his head. "Nope."

The mobile phone rang, and Zhou Zhen connected the phone. At the other end of the spectrum is Sheriff Hanks, whom he is familiar with. "Kevin, you're coming to State University, something happened to Marianne."

Zhou Zhen was stunned for five seconds before he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

"She was shot and killed by an extreme suitor, who later killed herself."

Zhou Zhen was angry, and the mobile phone in his hand was smashed to the ground by him, and it was torn apart.

In the original play, John Milton did not dare to kill Marianne directly, but only used various means to drive her crazy, and finally committed suicide.

But now, he is directly using the bewitched person to do it.

Since entering this world, he has maintained himself as a perfect person.

In the face of John Milton, he has always tried his best to keep afloat, but now, he has lost even his wife.

Michelle had never seen Zhou Zhen so angry, and asked in surprise, "What happened?" ”

A voice came from Gatry's office, too, and he came to the door and stared at the broken phone before asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Zhen slowly squatted on the ground and picked up the phone. "Marianne was shot ......"

Zhou Zhen didn't suppress his anger in order to maintain his image in front of others, in fact, he didn't have much anger in his heart at all.

Zhou Zhen has always tried to avoid committing one of the seven deadly sins, because committing any of them may be used by Satan.

Marianne's fate was sealed almost from the beginning, but he didn't think deeply.

John Milton was going to train him to be the devil's spokesman for ruthlessness, how could Marianne live well.

He refused to leave Tallahassee, effectively announcing Marianne's death sentence.

It's just that Zhou Zhen thought that he could still mediate, but now he didn't give him this opportunity.

He has lived too depressed and aggrieved in this world.

But no matter what, we have to survive these five years. Now three and a half years have passed, and there is still a year and a half to go.

Zhou Zhen already felt that blind resistance would not work at all, and if he continued to be so tough, it would be difficult for him to continue to live.

Therefore, he had to give John Milton a chance to win over and stall for time.

But it is impossible to get him to give in to John Milton now.

Marianne is his wife for three and a half years, and his mother's death is also inseparable from John Milton, how can Zhou Zhen give in?

He also made a mistake, that is, since Marianne is dead, it means that he has no weakness!

The Cadillac stopped at the door of the café, and outside the cordon, there were hundreds of students watching the excitement.

When they saw Zhou Zhen, their eyes were full of pity and shame.

Pity is understandable, but why is shame laughing?

Zhou Zhen soon knew.

In a short period of time, rumors on campus have added a peachy color to this homicide.

In the rumors of Marianne and Horford, the hat on Zhou Zhen's husband's head has turned green.

Of course, Zhou Zhen knew that Marianne had not betrayed him, and the chefs and waiters in the café also confirmed that it was Horford's wishful thinking.

But rumors, after all, the more bizarre it is, the more popular it is.

Everyone is ruining the bones, how many mouths does Zhou Zhen have to refute?

He had no intention of arguing.

Since confrontation doesn't work, let's go another way!
