"Oh, little Jack, and little Floy, are you leaving today?"

Mrs. Caroline stood at the door of the florist and said with a reluctant expression.

"Yes, Mrs. Caroline."

Chen Lun nodded.

He was carrying a suitcase in his hand, and Floy, dressed in a black dress, was standing quietly beside him.

She wore a black soft hat on her head today, and her long pale blonde hair fell from behind the soft hat like a waterfall.

"It's a shame...... Mr. Kent said goodbye, the three Moriarty siblings moved out, and now you two are going to the inner city as well......

The whole building is going to be empty. ”

Mrs. Caroline was saddened.

At this moment, a beautiful figure ran down the corridor.

"Mr. Jack! Miss Floy! Please wait for me! ”

Connie ran over panting, carrying a large bag and a small bag.

Boom!

She lowered her salute and looked up.

"Mr. Jack, I ...... I've thought about it, I'm going to go with you! ”

She pursed her lips, a little embarrassed.

A few freckles adorn the reddened cheeks, and the whole face looks like a strawberry.

Chen Lun looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

On the one hand, because Connie chose to accept the olive branch he extended out, and on the other hand, because she looked quite cute at the moment.

"Looks like you've thought it through, Connie."

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

Connie nodded heavily, then smiled brightly.

Chen Lun stretched out his hand.

"Welcome to my team."

"Thank you for your attention, I will work hard!"

Connie held out her small hand, and the two shook it amicably.

Mrs. Caroline was a little surprised, and looked at the three people in front of her speechless.

After a long time, she shook her head slightly.

"Looks like I'm wrong, even Connie is leaving...... Now it's really just me, an old woman. ”

Then she looked at the border pastor at her feet with some tears and laughter.

"You're not going to go too, are you? Bab? ”

Chen Lun named the dog Bab, and when he heard Mrs. Caroline's words, he was really eager to try.

But before it could take a step, it was forced back by a look from Chen Lun, and honestly squatted at Mrs. Caroline's feet.

The tail is open, and he even rubs his head into her hand and lets it be stroked.

"Oh, good boy!"

Mrs. Caroline was delighted, and apparently there was still one who was reluctant to leave.

Connie hid and covered her mouth and snickered, and Floy couldn't help but laugh.

"Mrs. Caroline, it's time for us to go, we'll come back to Seven Denton Street when we have time."

"All right, little Jack...... Oh yes, wait a minute! ”

Mrs. Caroline seemed to have thought of something, and rushed upstairs.

After a while, she ran down with a notebook.

"It's my own cookbook, and every time I cook for Henry and Oliver, I jot down some of my tips......

They complimented me every time on a good job, and after a long time, the notebook was full.

Now for you, little Floy, I hope it can help you. ”

Mrs. Caroline said, handing it to Floy.

"Thank you, Mrs. Caroline."

Floy took the note, tilted her head imperceptibly, and "looked" at Chen Lun.

"I'll learn it well."

……

Inner City.

Forty-five First Ave., Daniel Apartments.

A middle-aged man was pacing back and forth in the study.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Take one out of the humidor on your desk, cut it open and light it, and take a deep breath.

In the midst of the smoke, his muffled voice rang out in the room:

"Federman never came back...... The Iron Fist Gang didn't dare to do it, was it done by other gangs in the outer city? ”

His face was as deep as water, and his gaze was far-reaching.

"If you can kill two elite bodyguards together, it won't be an ordinary force."

Dejectedly, Daniel pulled open the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it was raining lightly outside. The rain poured down on the garden lawn and splashed it.

Whew-

Exhale the cigarette again.

"Damn...... My housekeeper has evaporated, how can things continue? ”

He seemed to be holding his breath in his chest, not knowing how to vent.

That's when it happened.

An oil painting hanging on the wall of the study moved strangely.

It is painted with a large mouth with jagged teeth, square and round, very abstract.

Five tongues protrude from the mouth, ranging in length and thickness to thinness.

The background is a colorful whirlpool, which at first glance makes people dizzy.

"Daniel."

In the painting, the mouth opens and closes, and human language is spitted out.

Hearing the voice call his name, Councillor Daniel's face changed, and he casually threw away his cigar and closed the floor-to-ceiling window.

Syllable!

"Your Excellency."

He came to the painting and said respectfully.

"How's the research going?"

"Research ......"

Daniel gritted his teeth, looked up at the painting, and suddenly felt a splitting headache.

He hurriedly staggered his gaze, lowered his head and said:

"Originally, things were going on, but my butler Feldman disappeared after going to the outer city, and I don't know what happened to the craftsman."

The large mouth on the oil painting is slightly closed, and the corners of the mouth are raised.

A creepy chuckle followed.

Half a day.

"I can change my choice, Daniel."

Oil painting Big Mouth said.

Daniel's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"I helped you deal with your enemy, the ...... Congressman Lawson?

He's in the throes of losing a child right now, and he's probably going to be a little crazy.

If I had turned around and supported him, he would have been happy to help me, at all costs. ”

Daniel shuddered as he listened, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead without a trace.

"No, Sir Paint, Lawson can't help you...... He has no roots in the outer city, and he can't organize the people to forge that weapon for you. ”

"Oh?"

The big mouth of the oil painting pauses.

"But you also seem to have lost the ability to serve me now.

The help is mutual, Daniel, you can't keep dragging on and not giving me what I want. ”

"Give me a little more time! His Excellency Sir ......"

Congressman Daniel clenched his fists.

He took a deep breath and straightened up.

"I'll send new people as soon as possible to complete your commission."

"Okay, then I'll give you another half a month......

But the amount that needs to be handed over next time, I need to double, and it will be regarded as compensation for your dishonesty. ”

Congressman Daniel grimaced, and a word came out of his throat:

"Good!"

The colors on the oil painting twist, the large mouth slowly closes, and the scattered tongue and jagged teeth retract.

Eventually, the painting rests and does not change.

Councillor Daniel's forehead bulged and he left the study without saying a word.

A studio at the other end of the inner city.

A young man jerked his head up and stared at an oil painting on the wall.

A strange hand on the painting began to move.

The strange hand with seven fingers stretches out one and writes in the painting with sharp nails.

The nails are like knives, cutting through the skin in the painting, and carving a line of blood letters——

"Half a month later, kill Congressman Daniel."
