Heart-to-heart.

That's what Hawke thinks, and that's what he does.

The same.

It's the same with making allies.

Hawke unreservedly told John Hope about his plan, and now, Hawke finds out that John Hope has betrayed him.

This made Hawke feel a little sad.

Even, a little angry.

I treat you with sincerity, good fellow, and you repay me like this, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?

What?

How did Hawke see it?

Because sooner or later something is going to happen!

……

All right.

In fact, Hawke was only cautious at first, so he asked Catherine to help check the time when the first message came out.

It turned out to be cautious and right.

The first message came out of the NYPD at 5:02 p.m., and John Hope sent him an email at 5:09 p.m. on the timestamp.

John Hope sent the message even seven minutes later than the first one that came out of the New York Police Department.

Hawk was delayed by the fact that John Hope was looking for an email from the computer.

But......

This time, not just as it seems, is simply seven minutes less.

The earliest time this news circulated was at 5:02 p.m., but this was the time when it flowed to the black market, not the time when it left the New York Police Department, so John Hope gave him a message that was far more than seven minutes late.

According to conservative estimates, it was at least about 20 minutes late.

But Hawke still reported a glimmer of hope, considering that people have three urgency or something, so, he called John Hope again, giving him a chance, and at the same time, giving himself a chance.

How did Hawke ask?

Whether people are escorted in the morning or at night, after all, in terms of time, if there is too much difference, the result will be completely different.

Listen to it.

When Hawke said this, he had actually given John Hope a chance.

But......

John Hope not only didn't realize his mistake, but even dared to yell at him.

If that doesn't mean that John Hope betrayed him, then what else can be called betrayal?

It's just that......

Why?

Hawke frowned, thought for a while, and didn't figure out what John Hope's motive for suddenly betraying him was?

After all, John Hope only needs to provide information, and the rest, the most difficult part, is handled by his side.

That's it?

There is no need to take risks at all, sitting at home, you can wait for the money to be divided, what reason does John Hope have to betray himself?

Hawke shook his head a little speechlessly.

Never mind.

It's useless to think about this now, betrayal is betrayal, maybe, this guy naturally likes black and black, after all, this thing has a black police record.

Hawke shook his head, bothering to think of a reason to justify John Hope.

Since you have betrayed, you can quit and stay, which is always an unstable factor.

What?

What if Hawke guessed wrong?

That would be a mistake, and trust is no longer there when it comes to realizing that this John Hope has most likely betrayed him.

Once the foundation of trust has been destroyed, there is no way to repair it.

Hawke no longer had the means to trust any of the information John Hoppe had provided, so John Hope had gone from being an ally to a stumbling block.

And the best way to deal with stumbling blocks is to kick them away.

Hawke thought to himself.

The next second.

Hawke looked up at Lorna, who was sitting across the table.

"Huh?"

Lorna, who was eating with one hand and holding her phone with the other hand and chatting with her classmates, felt Hawke's gaze, restrained her laughter, and turned off her phone: "I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine."

“……”

Lorna raised her head, her eyes alerted for a second: "Something?" ”

Hawke nodded.

Lorna blinked.

"What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow noon you're going to Thirteenth Street in Brooklyn to see a house."

"What's that?"

Lorna's eyes widened as she listened to Hawke's words: "Me, look at the house? ”

The next second.

Lorna looked at her phone, then looked at Hawke and said, "No, don't I just look at my phone during dinner and chat with Zoe for a while, why are you so good that you suddenly want to drive me away?" ”

It's not a big sin.

As for it?

Hawke was confused.

"When did I say I'm going to get rid of you?"

“…… Isn't it? ”

"Nonsense."

Hawke shook his head a little speechlessly, got up, walked upstairs, waited for a while, walked down with a stack of materials, and handed it to Lorna: "This is the house." ”

Lorna took the information, looked at the first page of the photo, her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Hawke: "It looks good, are we going to change houses?" ”

Hawke smiled: "If you don't mind that he is a murderer, you can change it, I don't care." ”

"Wait!"

Lorna caught the keyword and looked up at Hawke: "Murderous house? ”

Hawke nodded mysteriously.

Lorna took out all the information from the information bag, opened it, looked at it, confirmed it, and said with some suspicion: "It didn't say it." ”

Under normal circumstances, if the house is a murderous house, it must be explained in advance and placed in the information introduced.

Otherwise, it's fraud.

If someone finds out and sues the court, the brokerage company that took over the house may be directly sued for bankruptcy.

Hawke, of course, knew that there was no description of the murder house in the information.

"So I'm going to find out tomorrow."

"What."

"The body is still inside."

“what？”

When Lorna heard this, she couldn't sit still anymore, her eyes widened: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Hawke looked at Lorna, who got up excitedly, and explained: "Don't worry, I've been dead for a while, and it's estimated that I've turned into white bones a long time ago, and I'm not going to go alone, it's not good, after all, it's not appropriate to change houses, if the hostess doesn't go." ”

Lorna heard Hawke's words and wanted to squirt a mouthful of salt soda.

Been dead for a while?

This is indeed a reassuring statement.

But......

When Lorna heard the second half of Hawke's words, all the anger and fear disappeared in an instant.

The only word in my mind is the word hostess.

Lorna pointed to herself and looked at Hawke, as if to confirm the information and make sure she hadn't misheard or missed it, "Me, Mistress?" ”

Hawke shrugged his shoulders and said, "Otherwise, we live together, I'm the hostess, aren't you the hostess, can't I find Gwen to accompany me." ”

"No way!"

When Lorna heard that Hawke was going to find Gwen, she raised her eyebrows and said categorically: "I am the mistress of this house, why should I go to Gwen." ”

Hawke looked at Lorna: "So, okay, tomorrow at noon?" ”

Lorna nodded firmly: "Okay, tomorrow at noon." ”

Isn't it just a murderous house?

Isn't there a dead skeleton in it that hasn't been found yet?

No big deal.

If you dare to provoke me, this hostess, I will turn green directly and grind your bones into scum and raise them!

Lorna was furious in her heart, trying to use the title of hostess to dilute her fear of ghosts.

Hawke nodded when he saw that Lorna agreed, and after dinner, he went back to his study, opened the Internet, and browsed the Internet for the sale of houses in the Brooklyn area.

After a while.

Hawke found his target, looked at the house for sale on 13th Street, clicked in, glanced at the phone number on it, and dialed.

The next day.

The last class in the morning.

Gwen put away the textbooks on her desk and said to Hawke, who was sitting next to her, "I heard that there is a new dish in the restaurant today." ”

Hawke sorted out his textbook and looked at Gwen, "I have something to do with Lorna at noon and won't go to the cafeteria." ”

Something?

I happened to be in the same class, packed up my textbooks, and was about to wait for Gwen to go to the restaurant together, when Amilia, who came over, just heard this sentence and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

After saying that, Emilia realized that Hawke had ruled out the agreement, and that it was only Tuesday, and if Hawke was King, it was unlikely that he would have snatched money from the New York Police Department today.

Gwen blinked, and also looked at Hawke: "Why haven't I heard you say that all morning?" ”

Hawke shrugged and said, "It was also determined before the class." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, Lorna and I will go to Brooklyn at noon to see the house."

"House??"

Gwen was slightly stunned: "You want to change houses?" ”

Hawke nodded and shook his head: "No, I was at home with Lorna last night, and when I was browsing the web, I happened to see a good house, so I called the real estate agent, and when I was in class just now, Lorna thought that there was nothing to do at noon, so I asked the real estate agent if I could go to see the house at noon, and it just so happened that the real estate agent said that I was just free at noon." ”

Emilia was beside her.

Gwen nodded as well.

That's when it happened.

Because of Hawke's hostess last night, Lorna, who seemed a little positive, came to Hawke after class, ignoring Gwen and Emilia beside Hawke, and said to Hawke very expectantly: "Okay, let's go, hurry up, there is still class in the afternoon." ”

Lorna was quite positive.

"Let's go."

Hawke answered, grabbed the textbook in his hand, and said to Gwen next to him, "Then I'll go out with Lorna first, and I'll see you in chemistry class in the afternoon." ”

Emilia beckoned with a smile, "See you in the afternoon." ”

The next second.

Gwen got up, smiled at Hawke and said, "I'm fine at noon anyway, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

Lorna raised an eyebrow and looked at Gwen.

I'm the hostess.

What are you going to do?

It's not about buying you and Hawke a wedding home.

Gwen smiled at Lorna, "Can I come along, Lorna?" ”

Lorna, who wanted to refuse: "...... As you see fit! ”
