Chapter 679: Mr. Detective

"Thomas, the shareholders' meeting did not pass my proposal. The name Morgan is daunting..." Li Zitao was talking to Thomas Lamont in the study of the castle.

The proposal of cross-shareholding was not approved, and Li Zitao always had to tell the other party.

"It's a pity, Charlie. I miss the days in Fuguo very much, and I really hope to go back to that time." Thomas said regretfully.

"There will be a chance, isn't there a bright future?" Li Zitao laughed.

"Yes, there is still a long time in the future." Thomas laughed heartily, and invited Li Zitao to play in Maine. His estate has enough space.

America is quiet and peaceful, the market is thriving, the factories are bustling with activity, and the people on the street smile with hope, completely free from outside influences.

Laomei always has a feeling that she is the whole world, and she doesn't care much about the right and wrong of the outside world.

For them, the death of one person in a local shooting is more serious than the outbreak of a world war.

Therefore, the war in East Africa is nothing more than a boring topic to kill time in their mouths.

Who cares how many people they die, as long as the dead are not Americans.

Compared with the war in East Africa, the public is talking more about the shooting in New York. Why is there no news all of a sudden.

Whether it was radio or newspapers, the information about "machine gun shooting in the street" disappeared completely.

As for the other three murders, and the news that the Curtiss Research and Development Center was destroyed by heavy machine guns, and the corpses inside couldn't be made into human shapes, it never happened.

Only the local tabloids published it, but they quickly kept silent about it, but the police have been tracking down the whereabouts of the murderer.

Both the car and the heavy machine gun were found, the whole car was burned to the frame, the machine gun was blown to pieces, and there were countless charred bullet casings inside.

Only a few footprints were found at the scene, but they quickly disappeared by the shore of Lake Erie.

"Did you find anything?" The vehicle was burned at the scene, and two senior agents from Washington were investigating the situation.

"No, the footprints disappeared by the lake, and they can go anywhere after that... Someone saw a speedboat by the lake, so that should be what they used to leave."

Wearing an FBI uniform, the local agent in Illyria shook his head helplessly. All the clues were cut off by the lake.

"Didn't you ever think of finding a speedboat to track down?" Farak put his hands on his hips, frowned and looked at Lake Erie beside him, with a reproachful tone that made people unhappy.

"Speedboat? Do you want it?" The uniformed detective pointed angrily at a distance behind him, and said loudly, "It's right there, go and have a look, Mr. Detective."

"Hey, Farak, what are you doing? We're here to investigate the case, not to find fault." Seeing the other party leave with a wave of his hand, Pablo spread his hands and said speechlessly.

"Don't worry about those idiots, let's go over there and look at the boat." Frank walked forward indifferently.

After seeing the 'Black Charcoal' with only the frame and half of the engine left, his face became very exciting.

"Ha, that's great, now that you've offended them, we'll rely on it to solve the case, detective, use your brains!" Pablo mockingly turned his head to look at the lake, and then saw Frank's face, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his fist.

"Pab, take a look at this." Frank squatted beside the boat, and picked out a finger-sized charred piece from the gap in the frame.

"What is that?" Pablo glanced casually and turned his head away.

"Evidence." Wiping off the scorched black surface with his hand, and looking at the words on the zipper, Frank smiled slyly like a hunter.

"Honey, don't you want to stay at home?" In the castle, Mary was packing her luggage for Fia in her room, with a reluctance in her tone.

"Don't worry, Mary, I will come back to see you from time to time, and besides, everyone will live on campus, and I don't want to be special."

Fia threw herself into her arms with a smile,

He raised his head and said excitedly: "You know? Norma and I share the same dormitory."

"It's really great." Mary rubbed her hair and said to herself; how could I not know, I arranged those things.

Before we knew it, Eric was in 8th grade, and Fia and Norma were in 7th grade.

The official registration will be in mid-January next year. Fia wants to arrange the dormitory in advance, so she will pack her luggage at this time.

In the United States, many children will start from the seventh grade, and many children will choose to live in school to cultivate their independence and gain more freedom.

In fact, Mary was opposed to their living on campus, but at the insistence of Eric and Fia, she finally agreed.

"Is it packed?" Li Zitao came in from the door.

"Yes, Charlie, can you carry this for me?" Fia patted the suitcase on the bed and said with a sweet smile.

"Happy to help, little princess." Li Zitao stepped forward to give her a hug, and then went out with her luggage.

After putting their luggage on the car, Mary and Fia also walked out of the castle.

"Do you really not need us to send you off?" Li Zitao asked again.

"No need, Danny is here, he will take care of it for me." Fia said, waving her hand, and jumped into the car cheerfully.

Looking at Fia who was like a bird flying, Mary leaned her head on her husband's shoulder sadly.

"In 40 days, she will live in the school and rarely come back like Eric." Mary murmured as she watched the car go away.

"Yes, but they always have to open up, don't they?" Li Zitao comforted with a smile.

"I suddenly hope that Aiden and Mason can grow up slower, I'm not ready yet." Mary looked up at the sky melancholy.

Looking back, it seems like a blink of an eye, and Aiden and Mason have turned 2 years and 6 months.

"It doesn't matter, no matter where they go, I will be here with you." Li Zitao put his arms around his wife's shoulders and kissed her forehead, and Li Zitao stood there with her.

Sadness came and went quickly, thinking that Eric had lived on campus for more than half a year, but he would come back to live there from time to time, and Mary's mood quickly improved.

It's just that after returning to the castle, I suddenly felt that the castle was too deserted.

In the 20,000-square-meter castle, there are only her and her two sons on a daily basis, and the rest are 167 servants.

Fortunately, the castle is brightly lit day and night, so that people will not feel depressed and fearful.

While enjoying afternoon tea with his wife, Danny drove back in his car, and there was an unexpected guest in the car that should have been empty.

Melvin Purvis, the head of FBI operations from Chicago.

"Mr. Charlie, I'm sorry to come here without prior notice. The matter is a little tense. I think it's safe to say it face to face." Melvin rubbed his hands awkwardly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Can he bet on Zhongbao in this gamble?
