"Ring, ring, ring, ......" The phone on Liang Dong's desk suddenly rang, and he picked it up: "Mulden!"

"Terry is me, Tony Batalina. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and a large figure immediately appeared in Liang Dong's mind.

"Tony, hey, I heard that you took my uncle's case, who are you messing with!" Liang Dong greeted with a smile while holding the phone.

"yes, I'm not very happy either. I've been in Hell's Kitchen all day, and I've tried to kill myself, and I can't find a place to eat. Tony Bataari's grumbling voice came from the other end of the line, Hell's Kitchen is the most chaotic and complicated neighborhood in the entire Lower East Side, and even if you walk there during the day, you can encounter a robbery at any time.

"Then you obviously haven't drunk enough, what the hell have you found?" John Obannon had determined that the place of death was near Hell's Kitchen in the Lower Woods, and no one knew why he had gone there in the dark.

Tony Batarina's voice continued: "Precinct 18 received a call last night that gunshots were heard near Joseph's Grill around two o'clock in the morning. Do you know that place?"

"I know it's only a few blocks away from Xialin, and there are a lot of handsome guys and beauties there. Liang Dong smiled slightly, that area was the place where there were the most street women in the entire Xialin District, and he could basically guess what John O'Bannon was doing there.

"yes, if you like a toothless fat face. Tony Batarina also joked with Liang, but he quickly got back to the point: "Okay, I talked to the bartender, but the bastard claimed that he didn't remember your brother-in-law being there yesterday or heard a gunshot outside his door. He admitted, however, that Monsieur d'Opannon would sometimes sit there from time to time. ”

"Well done. Liang Dong couldn't help but praise: "I'm surprised that you can at least set something up." ”

"Yes, fortunately, the prostitutes roaming the streets are more willing to talk. Tony Batarina couldn't help but laugh too.

"Of course, they don't have much loyalty to the neighborhood code. Liang Dong shook his head slightly and said, "What did they say?"

"Terry, I'm not sure if this clue is true. Tony Batalina's voice became serious, and he was heard in a deep voice, "But they say that Monsieur Opanon was with a couple of prostitutes last night, and they saw the whole thing, and one of them was scared away. ”

"It's still early, Tony. If anyone can find a prostitute who runs away, it's you. ”

"Fuck off, Mulden, I've played it once. Tony Batarina, of course, knew what Liang Dong was talking about, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, that's what the bishop said about him and his attendants. The corners of Liang Dong's mouth curled slightly, shook his head, and said, "I also asked around today, but I didn't ask anything." We'll see you at Papa's Bar later, and you can tell me how the investigation went?"

"No problem, it's decided. Tony Bataari glanced at the street girl who was standing on all sides, shook his head, and left.

After talking to Tony Batalina, Liang Dong took his partner Booman to the west side of the block to the Paton storage company, which was actually a cover for the Paton family's criminal activities, smuggling, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and so on.

Liang Dong and Charlie Booman had just entered the company, and the news immediately reached the innermost. The elder Paton was not in the company at the moment, his son Rasti and his brother Red were in the middle of it.

Liang Dong and Charlie Bulman have not been here once or twice, so they went directly to the deepest office, while the dozen or so thugs around them just watched, and no one made any superfluous movements.

"Whoa, whoa. Liang Dong walked into the office and said to Rasti, who was sitting behind the office chair, "Look who's back!"

"Hello, officers, what can you do?" Red and Liang Dong knew each other well, so they were the first to say hello.

"My uncle-in-law was attacked last night, and I thought I should come over and visit his boss and see what he knows!"

Rasti sat behind the desk, without the slightest expression on his face, and said very indifferently: "The boss is not here today." ”

"yes, I can see that, bastard. Liang Dong's gaze fell on Rasti's very unbeaten face, raised his eyebrows and said, "What about the others, oh, maybe go to church to mourn the friend he just lost." ”

"I don't know if he's mourning or not, but he's also unhappy. That's for sure, we all are. Rasti still had that look on his face, and he kept spinning the paper cutter in his hand, "So, what do you want to ask when you see my father?"

"It has nothing to do with you, idiot. After Rasti finished speaking, Charlie Booman immediately choked up, and Rasti's attitude made him very unhappy.

"Whatever you want to say to my dad, it's the same with me. Rasti's face had a look of contentment.

"Now you're the boss?" Liang raised his eyebrows and sneered softly, "Or are you sitting behind your father's table and playing him?"

After listening to what Liang Dong said, Rasti's face instantly sank, and his gaze subconsciously slid to the side.

Liang Dong chuckled and said, "I guess so, so do me a favor and tell your dad that he and I have some things to discuss." ”

"I hope you learn your lesson, Rasti. Charlie Booman followed up and said, "You know, as an ex-convict, there are always people watching. And the one staring at you is me, bastard. ”

Hearing Charlie Boomman's implicit warning words, Rasti's face changed, he waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry about me, officers, I'm very safe now." Don't drink too much, live a healthy life, and change your mind. That's right, Uncle Lei. ”

Red Parton, who was sitting on the side, quickly nodded and said, "That's right, keep to yourself, don't mess with right and wrong at all, just like her uncle." ”

Liang Dong tilted his head sideways and stared at Rasti, his eyes fell on Red Parton on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Red, you are the head of the gang operation, tell your eldest brother, we have to talk to him." Let's go, Boomman. ”

After saying that, Liang Dong ignored the two and left the office directly, Booman patted Red's shoulder, and then left with Liang Dong.

"Bastard!" Seeing the two leave, Red couldn't help but curse, and Rasti's eyes fell on Liang Dong and the two of them with gloom.

Leaving the Patton Warehousing Company, Liang Dong parked his car in the corner diagonally across the street, staring at the warehousing company with a thoughtful look on his face.

"What's wrong, Terry, is there anything wrong?" Charlie Booman asked, blinking, a little puzzled.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking!" Liang shook his head, sighed, and drove away from the storage company.

It was getting dark, and outside the villa of Paton's house, the housekeeper drove back alone. In the room, old Patton was eating cake alone, and when he saw the butler enter the door, he put down the knife and fork in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "I said right, he did it, right?"

The butler didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
