Burke Forsman was a smart man, and most smart people survived. It's not that they're greedy for life and afraid of death, but they're confident that as long as they're alive, they'll have a chance.

So the Brooklyn-Burke Forsman negotiations, or more appropriately unilateral threats, went well.

Hanging up Burke's phone, Brooklyn called Lopez Mitchelson again. Lopez Mitchelson is his own person, and he has no scruples at all.

Brooklyn introduced the situation in New York in a brief sentence, which made Lopez Mitchelson know what to expect.

Ending the call, Brooklyn walked out of the bedroom and toward Anthony, picking up a cigarette that someone had put there as he passed the table.

Anthony was still standing in front of the window, as if he hadn't moved at all. Brooklyn came to him, stood on the other side of John Manning, popped out a cigarette and handed it over, Anthony took it, popped it up and put it in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it.

"Burke agreed?" Anthony asked, puffing out a puff of smoke.

"Agreed." Brooklyn took a deep breath, closed his mouth, and let the smoke circulate in his lungs before two long white dragons erupted from his nostrils.

Then nodded slightly.

"Don't be so stressed." Anthony seemed to notice Brooklyn's performance and tilted his head and chuckled.

Brooklyn shook his head and said honestly

"There's no way it's too stressful." As he spoke, he took another sip, but only halfway through his spit out the two white dragons, he coughed violently.

Anthony glanced at Brooklyn, who was bending over and coughing in pain

"I remember, last time you were injured, it was your lungs, right?" Brooklyn was still coughing, his expression a little pained, and he didn't bother to answer.

Ray walked over, snatched the cigarette from Brooklyn's hand, threw it on the expensive-looking carpet, and ran it out.

The carpet that looked expensive was permed and curled, as if it had bald spots. Ray then looked at Anthony.

Anthony was stunned, and reluctantly handed the cigarette he had just smoked two puffs to Ray. Lei Rufa crushed it, and then handed each of them a bottle of water.

Brooklyn drank the water and finally stopped coughing.

"Why did Lyne Spegg kill John, you say?" Anthony asked suddenly. Brooklyn opened his mouth and was about to say, 'Those are all my guesses,' when his eyes met Anthony's smiling face, and his words suddenly stopped.

Why did Lane Sberger kill John Manning? For no reason! John Manning is his 'umbrella', how could he cut down his own umbrella himself?

The biggest beneficiary of John Manning's death is not Lane Swegg, he needs John Manning to live, and only the living John Manning can let Lane Sping continue to have his back against the tree to enjoy the shade.

It's not Burke Forsman, John Manning and Burke Forsman are antagonistic and cooperative relationships, although there was a golden retriever crash and death some time ago, so that John Manning exposed the FBI and also have to investigate clearly, but the link between the two is Harvard, and the two have a common goal, or at least the general direction is the same.

Killing John Manning will only weaken Burke Forsman. If John Manning had been young, or physically tough, he might have kicked Burke Forsman out without hesitation, or would have resisted the first time Burke Forsman had launched and then retaliated.

But he's not young anymore, he's going to die, so he doesn't react much, just complied and leaves Harvard half-pushing, half-putting.

It wasn't so much that Burke Forsman drove John away, but that Burke saw through John's idea and went with the flow.

It's not Mark Milai, either. At least from Brooklyn's point of view, Mark Milley has nothing to do with John Manning, on the contrary, John Manning's death will indirectly shake the newly formed alliance, and thus add to the twists of his partnership with Brooklyn.

Killing John Manning would not only add to the annoyance for Mark Millay, but would also affect Brooklyn.

There is no benefit in the slightest. Rather, it was Anthony Kennedy. Kill John Manning and he can break free from John's bondage, bind Brooklyn, fight Burke, and become the Speaker of the Harvard Parliament.

Anthony isn't young anymore, and maybe he can't wait. The thoughts went round and round in his head, and Brooklyn shook his head

"I don't know. Maybe like he said, because of a USB drive that doesn't exist? "Whoever killed John Manning is not the most important thing right now, the most important thing is that John is dead!

"Do you believe John had that ability?" Anthony asked. His face was still a gentle and kind smile, but now it seemed a little more elusive and mysterious.

Brooklyn continued to shake his head

"I don't know, Anthony, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that John is dead, and our previous work may have been done in vain."

"That's the most important thing for you." Anthony corrects Brooklyn's words

"Not for us." Then, he took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and held it in his hand, but he didn't light it, he looked into the distance, and his voice was a little erratic.

"In every way, John's death was in my best interest. Maybe that's what you're thinking at the moment. As he spoke, he glanced back at Brooklyn and said

"But you forgot one thing, I'm not Burke Forsman with you."

"Maybe you can do that, but I won't." He tapped his chest

"I used to be a justice."

"If I were going to kill John, I would have done it a long time ago."

"Killing your opponent is the most shameful thing in any struggle. Only the military will do this. The gang in Washington, no qualified politician in this world would do that. ”

"Killing an enemy means breaking the rules, today you can kill someone else, and don't feel strange when you wake up tomorrow morning and open your eyes to see the muzzle of a black hole."

"This is a rule that is common all over the world. Only rookies would use this method of killing. He flipped the cigarette and lit Brooklyn with the butt

"Burke is a seasoned politician, you're a seasoned politician, Mark Milley is a politician disguised as a soldier, John Manning is a battle-hardened politician, and who's the only rookie in this room?" Who is it?

It's Lane Sberger. But Anthony's words cannot be fully believed. It was true that he had the opportunity to kill John countless times and didn't, but that didn't mean he wouldn't do it now.

After all, today is not that time, and the environment, position, situation, and even thinking and age are changing.

"I'm not interested in who killed John." Brooklyn shook his head and reiterated his position

"I'll go with you to get rid of Burke Forsman." Anthony Kennedy smiled and casually extinguished the unlit cigarette in John's head.

"I'll help you keep your place as your successor."

"Happy working together?" Brooklyn held out his hand. Anthony shook his hand

"It's a pleasure to work with." As they parted, Anthony said suddenly

"I hope you're telling me the truth. What was said to Burke Forsman was false. ”

"I've always been honest with true allies." Brooklyn stalls. As he spoke, the police had arrived with the ambulance.

It is not surprising that these two parties arrived on the scene, and it is strange that the FBI is once again uninvited, and it is agents who are completely unknown to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn glanced at the detective who had come up with the police and the doctor, and found the police officer leading the team and asked

"Why are the FBI guys here?" Leading the team was the director of the local sub-bureau, who had met Brooklyn at the NYPD headquarters, shook hands politely, looked back at the FBI people, and shook his head

"I don't know, we met on the road, they followed us all the time."

"Is there anything noteworthy?" After answering the question, the director asked politely in a low voice. Brooklyn glanced back at the wheelchair and shook his head

"No, but we need an autopsy report, he may have been poisoned. Also, don't let someone from the FBI get involved. The director made an OK gesture and summoned two police officers to stop the FBI people outside, and then beckoned the others to enter the house and get to work.

This is the scene of the crime, and now that the police have taken over, Brooklyn and Anthony can't stay any longer.

The two left the suite and separated. Brooklyn finds Ray and goes to Mark Mie first.

Mark Meelai's men took Ryon Sberger with him.

"Brooklyn." When Mark Mee saw Brooklyn, he pointed to the chair opposite.

"You've got to get rid of this mess as soon as possible." He said. Brooklyn nodded

"I know."

"Until the matter is resolved, we will suspend all operations and stay on the sidelines." Mark Mie said

"Of course, we will not withdraw immediately, nor will we tear up the contract immediately. We'll pull back when we're sure it's irreparable. ”

"Brooklyn, this is the opportunity I got for you."

"I understand." Brooklyn nodded.

"I've already said hello to the mayor's office, and I'm on hold for signing."

"Plus, I'll use my personal connections to help you withstand the pressure for a while and make sure that things don't deteriorate in New York while you're dealing with Harvard. But that's about it. Remember, this is my personal investment in you. ”

"Thank you." Brooklyn Road

"Is there anything I need to know about Ryon Sberger?" Mark Millay glanced at Rien Sberg, who was in the other room, and shook his head

"He doesn't know anything."

"John Manning was killed by him." Brooklyn said firmly. With that, Brooklyn gave an explanation as he got up

"Only he has access to the potions, and he has always kept them, and he is also operating the injections." Mark Millaine agreed, raised his chin, and pointed to a bag of medical waste on the table

"He is also ready to destroy evidence. Looks like I need to talk to the officers. ”

"Thanks, Mark." Brooklyn stretched out his hand and said earnestly.

"You're welcome." Mark Milai said with a smile on his feet

"You're going to marry my daughter soon." Brooklyn nodded, got up and took his leave. Regardless of whether the real situation is done by Lynn or Anthony, it must be done by Lynn.

Harvard can lose Lane, but it can't help but lose Anthony. Brooklyn can press death directly, but there is no way to press Anthony.

That being the case, why not solve a problem first? Coming out of the hotel, Brooklyn didn't say a word and got into the car directly.

I waited in the co-pilot for a while, but I didn't see the thunder coming up. Sensing the anomaly, Brooklyn looked up from his phone and shook his head at the driver's seat.

Ray opened the car door, opened the toolbox, pulled a pistol from inside, and said as he checked the magazine

"The FBI guys are following us." Brooklyn glanced at the rearview mirror.

"It's not clear what their goals or intentions are. But we need to be careful. With that, Ray handed Brooklyn the gun he had examined

"I taught you how to use it." Brooklyn took the gun and couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror again

"What about your judgment?" Ray closed the door, walked around to the driver's seat, got into the car, took out a pistol from the back and put it on his lap, put it in the driver's seat after checking, opened the back seat, pulled out a rifle from underneath, and said while inspecting

"It's hard to say."

"I think they might want to reach out to you, get in touch. For them, Anthony, Mark Millai, Lane Sberger, you, of the four of you, Lane Sberg is the most trustworthy, but he is now a suspect. At this point, Ray couldn't help but glance at Brooklyn and drop his checked rifle in the open space in the back seat before starting the car.

"Where?" Ray asked.

"Go to Winston." Ray was right. Lane Sberger is the person close to John Manning, the person who still insists on taking John Manning with him when he leaves Harvard, and he is indeed the most trustworthy.

If everything goes as usual, John Manning will most likely hand over the FBI to Lane Swegg in order to ensure Lyne Swegger's safety before he dies.

Although Lane Spegg has mentioned his retirement plans to Johann Manning, John Manning is not an idiot or naïve, and he doesn't think that if you throw up your hand and surrender when you get at the table, the others will let you go.

- Of course, none of this Brooklyn knows. But based on Lane Sberg's performance in front of John Manning, it can also be inferred that John Manning will leave the FBI to Lane Swanger.

Lane Spegg may not have fully mastered the FBI, but he can at least instruct the FBI to do something.

So, what is Lane Sberger going to do when the FBI comes along? Do you want to kill yourself like you killed John Manning, or do you want to join forces with yourself and take out Burke and Anthony?

Brooklyn texted Winston and Frank to meet up at the Winston house while pondering Lane Sberger's motives.

According to Anthony, Lyne Sberger is a rookie, and the trouble with rookies is that they don't know the rules and are not easy to figure out.

Brooklyn found himself unable to analyze what En Spegg was going to do. He wasn't even sure if Ryan Swegg had killed John Manning.

It's like a heavy Rashomon. According to the rookie theory, it was indeed done by Len, but what if Anthony just wanted to surprise him?

What if Lai En just wants others to think that Anthony is coming by surprise? What if Anthony wants to make others think that Lyon wants others to think that Anthony wants to surprise him?

In case of...... Thinking starts to become pointless due to the lack of quantification.
