Montero left the bar and asked others to leave together. Chuck and the others were about to enter the bar when Liliana's phone rang. She glanced at it and looked at Montero with a frown, "Wait, Yang, call me." After saying that, she answered the phone: "Mr. Yang, what's the matter?"
There was no emotion in Jimmy's voice, and he just said calmly: "Watch her, don't let her run away, I will find you for help." After saying that, Jimmy hung up the phone directly.
Liliana turned her head and glanced at the bar door with an ugly expression, then looked at Montero, "Let's go, I'll talk to you in the car."
Chuck and the others only saw Liliana answer the phone. They saw Liliana hang up the phone, get in the car with Montero, and then return to the bar.
Chuck: "Jimmy, how's it going?"
Jimmy: "Did you hear our conversation just now? Tomorrow, their people will look for you, the person who arranged for the driver to hit Nia, Max, and the lightning that Nia tracked. Please handle it. I will follow up on this case." I won’t get involved.”
Chuck: "What about the murder? I just heard you guys discussing a woman named Perkins?"
Jimmy: "Not yet. I need to find someone to ask. There are too few clues. I'm not sure if she did it."
Chuck: "OK, I understand. I've gained a lot today. At least I'll get rid of Nia's matter first."
Jimmy: "Well, remember to arrange for someone to keep an eye on them for a period of time. Just keep an eye on them openly. There is no need to hide your identity."
Chuck: "I understand, I will let them know the rules. Is there anything else?"
Jimmy: "If they're dishonest, give them a warning."
Chuck: "OK, let's go back first."
Jimmy nodded, and Chuck took the young man away. This young man was really good. From the time they entered the bar to now, he didn't say a word. He followed Chuck the whole time, and his expression didn't change much. He was very steady. Look. This is the successor that Chuck focuses on cultivating.
Looking at his watch, it was still early. Jimmy took out his mobile phone and dialed Charon's number. Charon answered the phone quickly, "Good afternoon, Mr. Yang. How can I help you?"
Jimmy: "Good afternoon, Charon. Are you at work today?"
Charon: "Yes, Mr. Yang, I'm at the hotel."
Jimmy: "OK, I'm going to find you. I need to consult you on something."
Charon: "I'll be waiting for you at the hotel. See you later."
Jimmy: "See you later."
Jimmy hung up the phone and looked at Woody at the bar, "Woody, please clean up, I have to leave beforehand."
Woody: "Okay, Jimmy. By the way, who's here today?"
Jimmy: "The gang bosses and cadres behind the Snake Dance Club are not on the same side as us, so don't pay too much attention."
Woody: "Which Snake Dance Club?"
Jimmy: "Hell's Kitchen."
Woody: "I understand. Goodbye."
Jimmy left the bar and went to the parking lot to drive to the InterContinental Hotel. Every time he comes to the InterContinental Hotel, Jimmy finds this building a bit interesting.
The hotel building is not very high, but its shape is peculiar. The door is just at an acute angle. Two waiters stood at the door. They saw Jimmy's Mercedes-Benz CLS parked at the door, then walked over and took Jimmy's keys and drove away. This The space at the door is not too big. If you park, it may affect traffic.
Charon was still standing at the front desk. When he saw Jimmy coming, a smile appeared on his face, "Good afternoon, Mr. Yang."
Jimmy smiled and greeted Charon: "Hi, Charon, good afternoon. Is it convenient now? Find a quiet place to chat."
Charon: "Of course. Please."
Charon stretched out his hand and made a gesture asking Jimmy to follow him, and then walked out from the front desk. Next to him, another person in a black suit immediately walked to the front desk to replace Charon as the front desk after Charon left.
Charon is really reliable in his work. It seems that either they cooperate with each other tacitly, or he has arranged it in advance, which makes Jimmy feel particularly good. He feels more and more that Winston is really lucky to have such a subordinate.
In a lounge, Charon invited Jimmy to come in and sit down. He took an opened bottle of whiskey from the wine rack next to him and poured Jimmy a glass, "Please."
Jimmy: "Hey, how do you know this is the one I often drink? Charon, thank you."
Charon just smiled and didn't answer anything. He sat on the single sofa next to Jimmy, "Mr. Yang, what's the matter with coming here this time?"
Jimmy put the glass down, looked at Charon and said, "Charon, you should be the largest organization in New York, right? Are there any other organizations here with top female killers?"
Charon: "Yes, there are still many people who work alone, and not everyone knows about it."
Jimmy: "What about the masters? I think you should know a little bit about it. Someone told me a name, Ms. Perkins."
Charon paused: "Can I ask what happened?"
Jimmy: "A murder case. This case caused my fiancée Nia to have an accident, and she is still recuperating at home. So, I am helping her investigate now, and there has been some progress, but I need to figure out this Parkin first." Who is Ms. Si?"
Charon: "Okay, I understand. I will help you investigate. Are there any other questions?"
Jimmy: "Oh, it's nothing. Nia's injury caught me off guard. Unfortunately, I'm in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so many things are inconvenient. Hey."
Jimmy sighed and picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, and then stood up, "Charon, help me say hello to Winston, I'm going back first."
Charon also stood up, "Okay, I will."
Jimmy left the Intercontinental Hotel and went directly to Nia's house. Nia is still sitting in a wheelchair. It's not that the injury is really serious, but to prevent collision accidents. After all, she doesn't need to go out to work, even if she is in a wheelchair at home, Nothing inconvenient.
In the evening, Kevin came back from outside and saw Jimmy sitting in the living room and called him directly to the study.
Kevin sat on the sofa in the study. Jimmy was already very familiar with this study. He took half a bottle of red wine and two glasses from the cabinet next to him and sat next to Kevin. "Kevin, what's going on? You seem to be in a bad mood." not too good."
Kevin took a sip of the red wine that Jimmy poured, and then said, "Jimmy, do you know a gang leader named Francisco Montero?"
Jimmy nodded: "The boss of the Viper Gang, from Hell's Kitchen. What's wrong?"
Kevin: "Tonight, I met him in a club. He was introduced by another person. But he didn't say anything and just exchanged a few words. I remember the person who hit Nia, his brother was this viper. Helping, right?”
Jimmy: "Don't worry, it has been taken care of today. They will go to the police station tomorrow to find Chuck to surrender."
Kevin: "Tell me about it."
Jimmy: “I have already met people from the Viper Gang today, including Francisco Montero, and the backbone of their gang have all come forward.
The person Nia is chasing is a member of their gang, nicknamed Lightning. One of their members, Max, asks his brother Jack to cause a car accident to delay, but Jack messes up the matter and crashes directly into it.
They probably didn't know Nia's identity before, but now they know it, and they need to do something to apologize. I think Francisco Montero wants to talk to you because he wants to get to know you first, and he will probably contact you later. "
Kevin was silent, took a slow sip from his glass, and suddenly changed the subject, "Jimmy, you've been in the Public Affairs Office for a while, right. Have they told you when you can go back to the field?"
Jimmy curled his lips and looked helpless: "There's no news yet, and they didn't say how long they would be here before."
Kevin: "So, can you take some time to go out recently?"
Jimmy: "What's wrong?"
Kevin: "I have a friend, Alexander Harrington, who has a long-standing family friendship with our family that goes back to our ancestors. He went to a law firm in New York after graduating from Harvard Law School. After working at the law firm for several years, he returned to Buffalo and mainly engaged in commercial law and real estate.
He has a villa in Lancaster County, east of Buffalo, but there have been some unusual things happening there recently. There are often some random noises at night. He once thought that some wild animals had run past. But I couldn't find it at all.
They found some people in the local area and found nothing. Originally, I wanted to find someone from the police detective department to check. Now it seems that you are more suitable, but I am not sure whether you can leave the two sides. sky. "
Jimmy: "Give me your address and contact information, and I'll look back on how to ask for leave."
Kevin got up and came to the desk, took out his phone and checked it, then wrote the number and name on the paper and handed it to Jimmy. "The address will be sent to you after I confirm it."
Jimmy nodded: "No problem."
The task given by the prospective father-in-law must be completed quickly. This is different from other tasks. It is related to whether one can live a good life in the second half of his life.
After Jimmy went to work, he asked for leave from his supervisor, Mrs. Mason, to deal with some personal matters. Mrs. Mason also knew that his fiancée had a car accident. Many people knew about it, and there were other stories in it, which was not a simple one. There was a traffic accident, so he gave Jimmy a few days of vacation after giving him a simple scolding.
This means that Jimmy's presence in the office is not strong, and his presence or absence has little impact on others, so Mrs. Mason did not stop him.
Jimmy's leave was approved, and he started preparations when he returned to the office, printing out a map of Buffalo and surrounding areas. The distance from New York to Buffalo is not close. It takes about six hours to drive. Although the flight time is shorter, it takes a lot of time including airport security checks and the like.
For the sake of convenience, Jimmy decided to drive there. He was used to driving long distances anyway.
At noon, Charon called Jimmy. The distance from Federation Square to the InterContinental Hotel was very close. Jimmy walked directly there and could eat some food on the way.
Charon still took Jimmy to the reception room, "Mr. Yang, I want to ask, what would you do if Ms. Perkins showed up?"
Jimmy looked at Charon, narrowed his eyes, and thought for a moment: "Is she one of yours?"
Charon: "Pretty much."
Jimmy: "What's Winston's attitude?"
Charon: "We are neutral. We are just a service organization. They do not belong to us."
Jimmy stood up and went to the wine rack, picked up Glenlivet whiskey and poured himself a glass, with his back to Charon, "What about you?"
Charon: "I have no idea."
Jimmy looked at the cup in his hand and paused: "Charon, I will give her a chance. If you hand over a person and go to the NYPD Detective Bureau to find Detective Chuck to surrender, you should be able to do it, right?"
Jimmy drank the wine in the glass directly, put down the glass, turned around and shook hands with Charon, "My bottom line is that this case must be closed."
Charon nodded slightly, shook hands with Jimmy and said, "I will convey your meaning."
Jimmy nodded and left the reception room. Charon followed him until he reached the door of the hotel before turning back to the hotel.
Jimmy considered Charon's attitude as he walked back to Federation Square.
When Charon first asked Jimmy what he would do if he found someone, he actually expressed Winston's meaning euphemistically.
Perkins has no affiliation with their InterContinental Hotel, but this Perkins must know Winston and the others, and although the relationship is not particularly good, it is at least better than just acquaintances.
They definitely don't want Jimmy to kill her directly, or her to kill Jimmy, but they haven't decided how to deal with it yet.
Hey, give them some face, just let Nia and Chuck close the murder case. After all, this is only the cause of Nia's injury, not the cause, so Jimmy has no special intention to solve the murder case.
Early the next morning, Jimmy drove out of the apartment and rushed to Lancaster, a city on the edge of Lake Erie. The roads in New York State were pretty good. After leaving New York City, there weren't that many cars on the road, so his speed increased. But based on his driving habit, he still drove at the speed limit and didn't speed too much. .
Buffalo, also known as Buffalo, is the second largest city in New York State. The largest city is of course New York City. Buffalo has a long history and rich cultural background. It is also an important industrial city. It was once famous for its steel, shipbuilding and automobile manufacturing industries. There are many historical buildings here, as well as many museums, art institutions, etc., providing rich artistic and cultural experiences.
The city of Lancaster is just east of Buffalo and not far from Lake Erie. It is famous for its beautiful rural landscape and pleasant climate. There are many large farmlands, lush meadows and magnificent scenery, which is very suitable for A place to build a quiet and remote luxury villa.
At noon, Jimmy found a restaurant for lunch on the road and took a rest. He successfully arrived in Lancaster County in the afternoon and found the location of Alexander Harrington's villa.
This is a three-story manor villa that looks a little older. The main body of the villa has a nineteenth-century architectural style, with red bricks and white edges, triangular gables, a high roof, protruding decorative carvings and lace outlines, protruding window sills, and exposed balconies. Some old looking iron railings.
Jimmy has also been exposed to a lot of knowledge in this area over the years, but in New York, there are not many buildings of this style. The city of New York has been transformed so thoroughly that, except for a very small number of ancient buildings, most of the buildings have been replaced in the previous waves of city expansion.
