Chapter 218: Disaster from the Sky
Zhou Yu, who ran out of two blocks with Rosa in one go, threw her on the lawn of the green belt, and sat on the ground with his butt, gasping for breath.
Rosa sighed, looked around blankly, and found that she and Zhou Yu were sitting in the street park, and everything that had just happened flashed in front of her like a dream.
"Bruce, you...... How did you do that? ”
Zhou Yu, who was sweating profusely, glanced at her, and didn't have the strength to answer any questions at all, so she rested for a few minutes before she regained a little strength.
"If it weren't for me today, your little life would probably be there, do you see who it is? That's Fagenmore, secretary to the governor, a real power bigwig! It's just that I didn't expect him to be smuggling weapons behind his back, and these guys who don't show up at the party on weekdays are hiding their secrets......"
That's right, although it was just a moment, Zhou Yu had already seen the other party's appearance clearly, and he was no stranger.
Due to Roosevelt's deliberate introduction, Zhou Yu has become a familiar face in the upper-class social scene in New York, and he has come into contact with many people.
Although some people will stay away from him as long as they see his eastern face, that does not affect Zhou Yu's understanding of these people's names, positions, and political leanings.
"Is that him? No wonder it sounds familiar to me just now...... Previously, I just got the news from the informant that there was a big man who wanted to sell weapons here privately, so I thought about trying my luck, but I didn't expect the news to be really well-informed. ”
Zhou Yu glanced at Rosa and asked with a serious expression, "Get news from the informant?" Where did the informant come from? What is the name of the person who messaged you? ”
"What, why are you so serious? As a journalist, of course, there will be your own informant, and the identity of the informant should be kept secret for their safety. ”
"Rosa, you must know that your identity is not just an ordinary reporter, you also represent your father, represent the partner behind him, and even represent me, if someone takes advantage of this to deliberately bring you into the set up bureau, you are falling into the trap of others and becoming a victim of political struggle."
"Is that an exaggeration? Bruce, are you being a little too careful? It's not like a young man at all, okay, okay, let's not talk about this, isn't it okay now? But I just took a photo of him, and I don't know if the editor-in-chief will agree to publish it on the front page headlines tomorrow~! ”
"I advise you not to do that." Zhou Yu reminded: "Once you publish it, won't you beat the gong and drum to tell others that you caused this accident today, and you want your parents and even the entire family members to be retaliated against?" They will think that it is the parents behind you who benefit, and then it will be as simple as just two people who can solve the problem. ”
"Why is it so dark and terrible as soon as it comes out of your mouth...... Bruce, you want to be sunny, maybe Mr. Moore will stand up and explain, and maybe Mr. Governor will kill his relatives and find out that his assistant is doing bad things behind his back, so won't we become partners in justice~? ”
Zhou Yu shook his head again and denied: "Rosa, you are no longer a child, you have to consider the consequences when you speak and do things, but the simplicity and innocence in you are very rare, I hope you can keep it, but this matter listens to me, so far, it is best to destroy the negatives together." ”
"Why? Hey~ Forget it, for the sake of you protecting me very competently today, don't talk about this, let's go, I'll invite you to eat and drink coffee, can you still walk? How can you be like a soft-footed shrimp at a young age? ”
"Hey, hey, who's responsible for the way I'm now? I'm going to eat lobster, eat caviar, and fill my wounded body and mind! ”
The two of them were arguing like this, and they stayed away from the place of the incident, but at the same time, the bodyguards next to the governor's secretary just now were like ants on a hot pot.
They were in a mess, they were all at risk, they couldn't figure out what was going on, whether it was an accident or a deliberate murder, if the ceiling had fallen into disrepair and had collapsed on its own, or if someone had infiltrated through a ventilation duct?
But regardless of the nature of the incident, their boss, Mr. Moore, is dead, and how can they account to the governor? Accountability to those partners? No, they have to find a scapegoat.
In this matter, Rosa finally listened to Zhou Yu's suggestion and did not publish the photo of the bald secretary in the newspaper, but she did not destroy the negative, but quietly hid it and told Zhou Yu that she had destroyed it.
However, after the latest newspaper was printed and sold the next day, Zhou Yu looked at the headlines on the front page, and the whole person was not good.
[Shocked! The murder in Manhattan was the secretary to the governor, the benevolent and gentle Mr. Moore, and his death was a loss for the whole of New York, a loss for the federal residents of the New World, and a tragedy for this era! 】
[We condemn the murderer for committing murder to such a kind old man, and the NYPD promised that the murderer would be arrested within three days! 】
What? That guy turned out to be dead??
Zhou Yu took the newspaper and read it through it several times, confirming that the deceased mentioned above was the bald fat man he and Rosa photographed yesterday.
He was actually dead, but he took a look at it when he left yesterday, although the guy was buried in the rubble, but there was nothing sharp or heavy, could it be that someone took this opportunity to assassinate him and frame himself?
Damn it...... It's really troublesome enough to get into such a murder for no reason, fortunately there is no such thing as a camera in this era, and fortunately, there is no second person at the scene to see them, otherwise Zhou Yu would have to consider packing up and running away.
"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?"
Lu Xiucai saw that Zhou Yu's face was a little bad, and leaned over and asked with concern.
"Moore is dead......"
Zhou Yu put down the newspaper and pushed it in front of Lu Xiucai.
Moore...... Secretary to the Governor? ”
"Yes, let the cripple send someone to check and see if there is any movement of the other party's forces, and report back in time."
“...... Okay, I'm going to find the cripple. ”
Lu Xiucai didn't ask why, because Zhou Yu's expression had already indirectly given him the answer.
Meanwhile, inside the Governor's Mansion, Jennings Maxey, the current governor of New York, was furious and threw everything on the table that could be thrown away.
"Who? Who is so bold and dares to touch me?! Find him and bring him to me! ”
"Yes, sir."
Having chased away all his men, Jennings walked up to his desk with a hesitant expression.
"Who did it...... Could it be that Moore's handling was revealed? Is this the other party demonstrating against me? Damn ......"
He stood there for more than three minutes before picking up the hand-cranked phone on the table.
"I'm Jennings Maxey, pick me up Washington."
