Chapter 18: The Only Chance in This Life
Landau let go of Christian's embrace, pressed his head with both hands, and looked at each other, "First task, sit back in your place, calm your mood, work normally, and wait for the announcement." ”
Letting go of his hand, Landau promised Christian, "You'll meet a brother unscathed, I promise." ”
Seeing Christian stiffly sit back in his place, tidying up, and holding a pen for the next client, Landau nodded in satisfaction and left the accounting firm.
Walking into the door of McCourt Hardware, Landau glanced around and saw Jenny, who had been robbed yesterday, with a smile on her face.
Landau had a little guess in his heart, and walked straight to Robert's side, "It seems that you have solved it." ”
Robert replied with a cold face and without emotion: "I answer you formally, very clearly: I can no longer serve anyone. ”
Landau, who was rejected twice, maintained a polite smile, "Continental Hotel, Night Voyage Star." You're coming to me, and you're in a lot more trouble. He turned around and left without dwelling with Robert again.
The glass door opened automatically, and Landau and the people who came in met each other, and seeing the murderous spirit of the man in the suit and leather shoes undisguised, Landau looked up and down with interest.
Thick eyebrows, big eyes, hooked nose, clean walking, murderous, looks like two brushes.
Walking to Landau on the side of the street, taking the opportunity of waiting for the bus, he caught a glimpse of the man talking to Robert outside the door, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
What incognito people hate the most, of course, is the enemy who comes to the door.
Landau took out his mobile phone, put it directly to his ear, turned to look at Robert at the gate, and observed the confrontation between the two people.
The man in the suit took out a photo from his arms and stared straight at Robert's reaction, "By the way, do you know this girl?" ”
Robert frowned at the photo, then leaned forward slightly, and hesitated, "It seems... I've seen it. Reaching for the photo, he leaned forward again.
The girl in the photo, of course Robert knows. If it weren't for her, Robert wouldn't have been able to find the gangster and yesterday's kid.
Looking at the photo of the girl being strangled alive, Robert frowned and returned the photo to the man in front of him, "But I can't remember where it was." ”
Then Robert knowingly asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"She accidentally fell down the stairs and broke her neck."
Robert smiled playfully, "Really?" That's really..."
The man took back the photo, left a sentence, turned around and left, "I'll contact you." ”
Landau watched the man turn around and was called back by Robert, handed Robert a business card or something, and immediately stopped pretending to call, but really dialed the Continental Hotel.
The man in the suit stopped beside Landau in his Ford, stuck his head out and asked, "Hey, where are you going?" I can give you a ride. ”
Even if he didn't know what Robert was talking to him, Landau could guess that there must be nothing good to say.
Smiling politely at the man in the suit, Landau pointed to Lincoln, who was driving, "Thank you for your kindness, my car is here." ”
As soon as the car started, the driver said, "Sir, the owner of the car you just talked to is following us." Do you need a clean-up service from the hotel? ”
Looking up and seeing Ford in a suit in the rearview mirror, Landau raised the corner of his mouth and said, "No, just let him follow me." It would have been better if I had access to his information before I got out of the car. ”
Lincoln stopped in front of the Continental Hotel, but Landau, who got out of the car, waved directly to the Ford parked in the distance.
When the man in the suit drove in front of him, Landau said to the man in the suit, "Mr. Teddy, it's a pleasure to meet you." I've heard that you're quite capable, I wonder if you've ever considered changing jobs? ”
"Nope." Teddy had his hands on the steering wheel and no expression on his face.
Landau spread his hands and sighed, "Well, it seems that Mr. Teddy has lost the only chance of his life. Then I can only wish you that you can complete the task beautifully. ”
"Sometimes, before rejecting someone else's offer, you still have to think about it: Will this be the only chance in your life?" Landau spoke calmly and turned and walked into the Continental Hotel.
Back in the room, Landau, who was sitting at the dining table, was also thinking, Robert had refused so thoroughly, did he need to give him another chance?
Until he put down the dishes, Landau still didn't come up with a result.
A not-so-pleasant ringing of the cell phone interrupted Landau's thoughts, "It's me, Andy." My good friend, I hope there is no good thing that bothers you. If you have time, turn on the TV and watch the news. ”
Landau greeted Andy politely, got up and walked to the living room, turned on the TV series and tuned to the news channel.
"According to the latest news from this station, the terrorists arrested by the FBI are the criminal gang headed by Raymond Berock...."
Looking at the picture on the TV, Landau sat on the sofa, held his mobile phone and smiled: "Congratulations Andy." ”
Andy's happy voice came from the phone, "Haha, you guessed it." I didn't make it to TV, but I got the position I wanted. We all have a bright future! ”
At the end of the call, Andy mentions that Frank Martin has been taken into custody, and Landau, who hangs up, looks at the TV.
He purchased C4 explosives from special sources, and according to people familiar with the matter, this part of the explosives was enough to blow up half of the Capitol. FBI criminal psychologists deduced that Raymond Berok should have been preparing to do something on Thanksgiving Day to destroy the spiritual sustenance of the people. ”
"As for Raymond Belok, it is not known whether he is related to foreign organizations.....
It's too ruthless, the FBI guys are too ruthless. In this last sentence, how much benefit will the Belok family have to hand over and how much territory will be given up.
Landau was upset about the Belok family in his heart, and he couldn't wait to give the FBI a thumbs up, well done.
Turning on the phone, he dialed Christian's number, "Good evening, my accountant." I hope I haven't disturbed your private life. ”
Christian on the other end of the phone said in a cold tone, "Say, I just finished watching the news." ”
Touching his nose, Landau said with little confidence: "You know, the plan can never catch up with the change of things, and I didn't expect the FBI to do it tonight." ”
Changing the phone to another hand, Landau's voice suddenly became louder, "But who is your boss, how can you not keep a back hand?" Rest assured, your brother has been taken into custody by the FBI in Washington, and it's just a protective measure! ”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line, and Christian's deep voice said, "Okay boss, I see." ”
It's not bad to subdue Christian, he's a generalist.
Landau, who hung up the phone, was in a happy mood, looking at Robert's information on the table, and made a decision in his heart.
