Chapter 13 Who Is the Biggest Beneficiary?

coincide?

John frowned, he didn't believe in coincidences.

Brian didn't believe it either.

And McCall?

Also don't believe it.

After the eyes of the three men crossed, they looked at Jason again.

On the other hand, Jason got up and walked to the study and bedroom, took out the letters that the three of them wrote to him, put them on the small round coffee table, and pushed his fingers to the positions close to the three of them.

"Are you sure you wrote this?"

Jason asked.

John, Brian, and McCall picked up the letter and began to examine and read it.

Actions vary by habit, but everyone takes due care and caution.

"Um."

"no problem."

"It was written by me."

In the end, the three nodded together and said almost in unison.

Then, all three were stunned.

This time, without what Jason was saying, the three of them realized something was wrong.

The three of them wrote letters to Jason at the same time?

wrong!

To be precise, the three of them actually 'noted' Jason.

"You also saw the notice on the notice board?"

Brian looked at John, McCall.

"Um."

John nodded.

McCall took out his notebook, flipped through it, and placed it in the center of the coffee table.

In the notepad I was flipping through, there was a photo,

The content of the photo is a notice—

Everyone:

I need some fancy stories to inspire.

Do you have any?

If there is, please let me know.

I am in room 313 of apartment 3A.

Tel: 0054444944

Jason

99.7.10

...

The angle of the photo is quite good, and the picture is very clear.

Jason scrutinized the photo.

The photo does not exist in his memory.

But this photo is where it all started.

Jason's eyes turned to John and Brann, and the two of them had affirmative expressions, telling Jason that they were also seeing this notice.

"Then can you tell me why you decided to write to me when you saw this notice?"

Jason continued to ask.

His eyes swept over the three men.

There is no doubt that the three men in front of them are not ordinary people.

A random appearance can cause a bloody storm.

What if the three got together?

Destroying a city is not too difficult, as long as there is enough preparation.

But because of this, Jason became more and more curious.

Why did his unremarkable notice attract three people?

"My wife just passed away and I'm looking for someone to talk to."

"It just so happened, Jason, you showed up and rented in my apartment."

"I've looked into you, a writer who keeps his promises and is a good fit to be a confidant."

John was the first to speak.

The previous events were enough to give him a deep understanding of Jason and make him willing to believe in Jason.

What's more, he owes Jason a favor.

"I'm anxious and irritable because of Kemi."

"So, I also hope to find someone to talk to."

"And when I saw this notice, I subconsciously had the idea to talk to you."

Brian then said.

Like John, Brian was happy to trust Jason.

You know, Jason saved his daughter.

McCall is different from John and Brian.

Although he and Jason were only on one side, his inner sense of justice made McCall blunt.

"I don't want anything to happen to you, Jason."

"I've read "Stalker on the Cross Street". You are a good writer. Although the writing is not top-notch, the content of the story is lacking, and the logic is not smooth, but you really worked hard."

McCall said, showing Jason a cheering smile.

Jason responded with a smile.

Besides smiling, he really didn't know what to show.

Could it be explained that it was not written by the current 'me', but by the previous 'me'? Moreover, the current 'me' is not as good as the previous 'me'?

Not to mention such an explanation, will the three people in front of him believe it, just like this, Jason can't say it.

It's definitely not because he feels ashamed to admit that he is not as good as the previous 'him'!

Just a little embarrassed.

"Mccall, I really appreciate you."

Jason said solemnly.

"You're welcome."

McCall responded.

Then, Jason's eyes turned to John.

"You've investigated me before, and you've come to the conclusion that I'm keeping my promises...is such an investigation difficult?"

Jason asked.

"It's not difficult."

"Actually, there are rumors in your circle of book friends that you have been in contact with some special people to be able to write such a story, but then you seem to be arrogant and want to write in a real sense. Your own story, but unfortunately, your talent and ability are not enough for you to write such a story, so you are silent."

John said truthfully.

"is that so?"

Jason murmured to himself, then after a pause, he suddenly asked, "When did you read my book? Before you saw the notice, or after the notice?"

"Before the notice."

John was the first to answer.

"Well, I was before."

Brian nodded.

"Same."

"I saw it about a year or so ago, when I had just 'retired' and became a private investigator, and naturally, I was interested in something like that, and yours happened to be popular at the time, I I just bought one at the bookstore."

McCall's answer was more specific, and he described it immediately after giving a positive answer.

"My Hot Tweet?"

Jason frowned.

It's not surprising that it is popular. What is strange is that he has only written a book that is still a best-selling book in ten years. In recent years, a writer who has been questioned in recent years has begun to be popular.

Merchants chasing profits!

It's nature!

To put it simply, it's not too early to be profitable.

What good does it do for them to sell a book by a dead author?

unless……

Someone gave them a favor.

Thinking of this, Jason stood up and walked to the phone.

Although his phone is a landline, it has the function of saving incoming calls. Soon, he found the editor's call record, did not pick up the handset, turned on the speakerphone, and called back.

Beep, beep.

After just two beeps, the editor picked up the phone.

"Jason, have you written it?"

"If it's written, fax it over."

"The post office is too slow."

"It will be the end of the month soon, you promised me, don't forget."

As soon as the phone was connected, the editor said like a barrage of cannons.

"Not yet, I..."

"You don't want to take time off, do you?"

"Tell you, it's impossible!"

"Your vacation has run out!"

"Don't make any excuses!"

"Give me an honest write up!"

The last sentence, the editor almost shouted out, and the speakerphone was buzzing.

John, Brian, and McCall's eyes crossed each other, and there was a hint of interest in their eyes.

It was the first time the three men saw the editor urging the manuscript.

Kemi and Terry, who had been staying in the study and bedroom, also looked around.

Jason was watched by many eyes, but he was calm.

He, Jason, a foodie... a part-time writer.

Foodies are ahead.

The writer is behind.

Although a real work has not been written, he eats a lot!

Moreover, with the status of a writer, is it possible to go to collect the wind normally?

Isn't it normal to eat and drink while gathering wind?

"I'm running out of inspiration."

"We need to pick (chi) the wind (he)."

"Also, I haven't slept well lately."

Jason replied.

"Not allowed!"

"You have to remember that you are a ruthless code word machine!"

"No need to collect wind, just code words!"

"As for sleeping?"

"remember!"

"Dead people need sleep!"

"As long as you don't sleep, you can write 24 hours a day!"

The editor continued to roar.

"Oh."

"Why did Cherry City push my book more than a year ago?"

Jason was perfunctory.

"Cherry City is pushing your book?"

"Jason, are you really awake?"

"Don't fantasize about these useless things, hurry up and write hard is the king!"

"Remember the end of the month!"

"I'm going to urge a few more guys now!"

After editing, I hung up the phone.

The hands-free light also disappeared.

Jason turned to look at John, Brian, and McCall.

At this time, the three men's faces were a little serious.

There is no hot push to contact the editor of the publishing house?

That could only be the private behavior of Cherry City.

And such behavior?

It's for them!

The three men affirmed this almost instinctively.

From Jason's arrival in Cherry City, to the appearance of the "imitation criminals", it was only part of the other party's plan, in order to attract them all!

As for why?

They already have a guess in their hearts.

McCall sat up straight at the moment, and was about to speak.

But at this time, Brian waved his hand to stop it.

Brian stood up and walked towards the door of the bedroom and study.

"Kemi, you and Teri go back to your room."

Brian said, blocking Kemi's curious sight.

If it was before, Kemi would definitely have resisted his father's 'tyranny', but after the previous kidnapping, Kemi was much more sensible, nodded, and took Terry back to the room, and, very well-behaved Close the door.

Of course, behind the door, Kemi pressed her ear directly to the door.

She was curious.

Teri was just as curious.

Such a move did not deceive Brian, and he gestured towards the remaining three men to lower his voice.

"You are a good father."

McCall marveled when Brian sat down again.

"Just make up."

Brian sighed.

Then, his voice became low.

"You know, I used to be so focused on my career that I ignored my family."

"When I retire, all I have left is to make up."

"So, I don't allow anyone to hurt my family!"

Such words more or less resonated with John and McCall.

"Um."

"Now a guy is designing us."

"Moreover, it has endangered our family or the most important thing."

"More importantly, I'm sure he wants a lot more than that."

McCall nodded.

John clenched his fists.

He thought of Daisy.

Brian's daughter was rescued, but what about his Daisy?

His Daisy is dead!

He vowed to avenge Daisy.

Now that a new target has appeared... then kill the opponent!

The killing intent began to appear on John's body, and the other three men in the room immediately sensed such killing intent.

"Calm down, John."

"That guy won't run far."

McCall consoled John.

Brian remained silent.

His daughter was rescued, but John's Daisy was not.

At this time, it was not appropriate for him to speak.

John's breath was slightly restrained.

Brian and McCall breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, what they were most worried about was John's lack of calm, and he would startle the snake.

After all, the goal is too clear.

The reasons for their appearance are different, but in the final analysis, they still only do one thing: kill Armod.

Armod's enemies are many.

There are more people who want Ermod dead.

but!

The guy who can start the layout more than a year ago and silently lure Jason here is definitely not easy.

Not only patience, but also ability must be quite outstanding.

Moreover, it will also benefit from Ermod's death.

A vested interest, even if it is not a murderer, is related to the murderer!

All three have such a simple concept in their hearts.

And it just so happened that there was such a person among Ermod's enemies.

Brian and McCall looked at each other.

The two said the name almost at the same time——

"Dodd!"

Jason frowned.

The time he has been here is too short, less than a day.

He didn't know much about Cherry City.

"Can you tell me about this Dodd?"

Jason asked.

"certainly."

Brian and McCall looked at each other, the latter said immediately.

"Dodd, the speaker of Cherry City, belongs to the real big man, and is the real enemy of Ermod."

"It's also the person that Ermod hates to the core."

"Dodd blocked Ermod from entering Parliament more than once."

"However, don't expect Dodd to be a good person. He blocked Ermod just because of his political disagreement."

McCall stood up.

Staying here is also guesswork.

Since the goal of 'Dodd' appeared, he wanted to try his luck.

John and Brian also stood up.

They have the same idea.

"and many more."

At this moment, Jason, who was silent for a moment, suddenly spoke up.

Suddenly, Jason once again attracted the attention of the three men.

"Dodd should be Ermod's enemy."

"But don't you think it's strange?"

"In order to get rid of an Emmod, his layout attracted the three of you, is it too overkill?"

"Also, in the battle between Ermod and Dodd, should they be at a disadvantage?"

"Does he really need to set up such a big situation to get rid of someone who is not as good as him?"

Jason asked rhetorically while sitting in the sofa chair.

John, Brian, and McCall frowned, and the three stopped at the same time.

They didn't refute Jason's words.

Because this is the truth.

But this way...

Who exactly arranged it?

Subconsciously, the three looked at Jason who was sitting there.

Jason said unhurriedly—

"Let's think about it, if the three of you go to investigate Dodd, and then fight and kill Dodd, then... who will be the biggest beneficiary of this fight?"
