American comics: From the old Uncle Wolf, he becomes omniscient and omnipotent

Chapter 47: Headlines in Santa Fe

"Rojo, did you buy the newspaper today? Oh my God, someone assassinated Mr. Sherman last night."

The next day, early in the morning, Rojo made a cup of coffee, sat on the balcony and blew in the wind, reading a newspaper with a heavy smell of ink, and listening to the call from Jerell.

He took a sip of coffee and responded in surprise: "I just read the newspaper, it's really unbelievable."

Now the first page of the newspaper is almost all about the news about Sherman’s murder. Many of the media have begun to discuss conspiracy theories. However, the news does not reveal much. It only mentions Sherman’s murder. Obviously Sherman The family did not want to reveal more information to outsiders, but many people speculated that it was Grayer. They also mentioned that a factory owned by Grayer was damaged last night, and a fire was suspected at the scene. In short, there is no doubt that Grayer was responsible. I became the biggest suspect.

"Alas, when we returned to the manor last night, poor Mr. Sherman was lying in a pool of blood, with no body temperature. He opened his eyes and refused to close his eyes. Mrs. Sherman cried so hard that she fainted several times. The murderer was too It was so cruel that it didn’t even leave Mr. Sherman’s face intact, leaving a big hole in his forehead.”

Jerell sighed and said: "The family has no clue now. They have checked all the surveillance tapes and haven't seen any clues. And judging from the assassin's methods, he is very good at using knives. What's even weirder is, The guards didn't even have a chance to shoot from the beginning to the end. They were all stabbed in the throat. The scene in the lobby on the first floor of the villa was shocking. There was blood everywhere. Even the sofa could squeeze out a pile of blood. I couldn't imagine what happened at that time. How tragic the scene was.”

"Do you have a suspect?"

Rojo calmly flipped through the newspaper and asked casually.

"The only thing I can think of at the moment is Greer. The whole family is very angry right now, and they are also very angry with you. They think it was your biggest mistake not to kill Greer, otherwise it would not have caused such a tragedy, but to be honest, I’ll speak to you in a lower voice.”

On the other end of the phone, Jerell lowered his voice: "The reason why Mr. Sherman is where he is today is entirely his own fault. If he chooses to reconcile, it will be better for everyone. After all, this is not 100 years ago. We are all civilized people, right?" Savages, we are not Africans who drink hair and blood."

"I agree with what you said, and everyone should know that the reason why I didn't take action yesterday was that the hotel had a power outage, and the entire banquet was full of security personnel. In addition, Sherman asked me to assassinate Greer on that occasion, and Jean It makes no difference if I go to hell, no one can escape from the hotel.

As long as I make a move, the FBI and police will definitely surround the entire hotel in less than half a minute. "

Rojo recalled that when he returned to the hotel yesterday, he spent a lot of effort and finally climbed in through the ventilation duct to avoid being caught by the security personnel. Fortunately, no one noticed that he had left.

After the power was restored and the lights came on, Rojo had returned to his original seat. The few Sherman lackeys who were watching in the box also saw this scene, and they became alibi.

However, judging from Jerell's words, it seemed that no one in the Sherman family suspected him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"I asked you to leave a long time ago, otherwise I would not be forced to do such a thing. Now you have the opportunity to leave again. Ferrance Sherman, Mr. Sherman's eldest son, now he becomes The new leader of the family will probably abandon some of the former leaders, and you should also be on the list, and I found something strange."

Jerell lowered his voice a little more, "I found that Ferrance didn't seem too sad about Mr. Sherman's death. When he saw the body yesterday, he was expressionless at first. It took him a while, but then he His shoulders began to tremble when he turned around. No one saw his expression, but he must have been crying. Then he sat on the big chair that only Mr. Sherman could sit on, covered his face, and let us all leave the study. , and then he stayed in there for a long time, but after he came out, his face had no expression.

And it was only the second day, and he began to put all his thoughts on the family business, letting his men handle Mr. Sherman's funeral. Even the murderer's matter, he didn't seem to pay much attention to it, leaving it all to outsiders. , you must know that he is his father." "Grel is not dead. You destroyed his factory again. Now the Greer family will definitely launch a counterattack again. Ferrance has too many things to do and is responsible for the family's business operations. , it is impossible for him to focus on solving the case and the funeral. "

Rojo smiled silently. Just as he had guessed, Ferrance couldn't wait to take over the family business. He had long wanted Sherman to go to hell. Now that his dream has come true, he didn't care what happened.

Now for Ferrance, the top priority is to resolve the conflict with the Greer family. Moreover, the murderer of his father is very hidden and no clues can be found. He can completely pass the responsibility to the Greer family. In this way, Not only will it not make him look incompetent, but it will also make family members more devoted to this war.

However, Jeril said before that the best way is to reconcile. Now that both families have suffered losses, the best way is to recuperate and recuperate and find an opportunity to bite the enemy's throat.

"That's true, but it always feels too strange. Forget it, let's not talk about it. But you can finally leave this time. Without Mr. Sherman here, the family members will not restrict your travel.

To be honest, Mr. Sherman told me before that I couldn't let you leave. "

Jerell sighed and said: "But now that he is gone, everyone is focusing on Ferrance. They only think about competing for Ferrance's favor now. The new family leader represents the new structure of the family. Every time These changes are huge, and some core members may be marginalized, and everyone is afraid of this."

"You're not going to leave?"

Rojo took a sip of coffee and said, "You are also from Sherman."

"I have been with the family for almost six years, and I don't go much when I leave. I have no other abilities except this business. Besides, Fernando Sherman can also be Mr. Sherman."

On the other end of the phone, Jerell fell on the bed and sighed, "I hope he will reuse me. To be honest, I am just a delivery person. You can't marginalize me because of these things."

"Although I can't be of much help."

The two didn't chat for long, and Rojo quickly hung up the phone, "But anyway, I wish you good luck, my friend."

"Good luck to you too."
