"We're all going. Old Parton took off his glasses, looked at his granddaughter, Rosemary, barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and whispered, "We're going to California to see your Uncle Gehry." ”

Gehry is the second son, who was sent to Los Angeles by the elder Paton to study art in his early years, where the elder Paton had already prepared another industry.

"Why, what's going on?" Rosemary wasn't the stupid rich daughter, she was very smart, and she knew from her grandfather's tone and attitude that something terrible must have happened.

"It's nothing, it's over here!" said Old Paton as he called Rosemary to his side, took her hands, and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter what happens, what matters is that you promise me to go to college in Los Angeles next year." From now on, your uncle Gehry will take care of you. I want you to go to college, and I also want you to promise me that once you leave the city, you will never come back. ”

Listening to old Paton's words, Rosemary sensitively realized that Grandpa seemed to be confessing his last words, she shook her head vigorously, and said, "Grandpa, I won't leave, so I will never see you again." ”

"You're thinking too much, silly girl. Old Parton smiled lightly and whispered, "I won't be here long, my dear." ”

Rosemary could not be deceived by old Paton's feeble lie, and she asked directly, "Grandpa, what happened and how serious is it?"

"I can't stay here any longer, I ......" Old Patton looked at the various accounts on the table, and said with some difficulty, "I am ready to dispose of all the legal property and sell it all." I'm going to leave everything to you and your Uncle Gehry. ”

Rosemary was already in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What about Rasti and Tommy?"

"We're ......," said old Patton, a little hesitantly, a little sadly, "we have parted ways." ”

Rosemary realized what the problem was, and she asked thoughtfully, "And who's going to take over everything?"

"Ahh ”

"You can't just leave, people here are counting on you, you're a legend. Rosemary whispered to old Parton to change her mind, knowing very well that if she was a little princess in Gotham City, then in Los Angeles, she would be an ordinary person.

"Legends don't belong to this era, my dear, I'm just a tired old man. Old Paton looked melancholy, and after saying all this, he stood up and pulled Rosemary out, and at the same time said in a deep voice, "All right, don't talk about this. The monk will take you to the airport, which is really important, you can't tell anyone that you're leaving, let alone where you're going. You're going to disappear for a while, and you're going to get out of here, okay? You don't have to be away for a long time, just a month or two, and then you can reconnect with your friends. I'm going to stay here for a few more days, do some finishing touches, and then I'll go to Los Angeles to find you, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. ”

Although old Paton had persuaded Rosemary by this, she still reluctantly said, "Then why can't I go with you?"

"Listen to me, my dear. Old Parton said very earnestly: "You have never raised your voice to you since you were a child, and now I don't want to do that, please, just get in the car and go to the airport." ”

Hearing her grandfather say this, Rosemary couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only walk towards the door.

"Come to me. Rosemary had barely taken two steps when she was stopped by old Paton. Old Parton had a reluctant expression on his face, and as he hugged Rosemarie back into his arms, he couldn't help but say again: "Listen, you really look like your grandmother, like when you were in the small town of Klemara in 1928." Remember, I love you, and everything will be fine, okay? Listen to your Uncle Gehry when you get to Los Angeles. Alright, let's go, let's go!"

Rosemary walked out of the room step by step, and at this time, old Paton handed over to the butler, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, make sure she boards the plane and leave, make sure she doesn't talk to anyone on the way, understand? ”

The monk nodded earnestly, lifted the two salutation boxes on the ground, and walked out the door.

Liang Dong had no idea that a small visit he had made last night make Old Parton make such a choice, and this kind of scene was not what he wanted to see.

At noon, Liang Dong made an appointment to have coffee with Tony Batarina, and they needed to discuss the progress of the case.

Today's wind is very strong, sitting in front of the glass window of the restaurant, watching the cold wind blowing, Liang Dong couldn't help but clench the hot coffee in his hand.

After breakfast, Bataari said to Liang Dong while drinking coffee and wearing glasses: "You may not believe it, Irish, those bad things in the West Side have finally been reported in the newspaper, although it is only on page 22, but it is also in the newspaper." Do you know this bastard?"

Liang Dong nodded, took a sip of coffee, and said, "Yes, Danny Hopkins, who is also my uncle's subordinate." ”

Batali shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Those people in the bureau must think that in the Lower Forest District, I have a lot of connections, so guess who is in charge of this case?"

"They must think you're handling the other murders in Westside better, and they have to send out the best men, right?"

Listening to Liang Dong's sarcasm, Batarina couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You stubborn idiot, I wouldn't be surprised if you and your father were pressured by the people at the headquarters to continue investigating these damn cases." ”

Liang Dong quickly waved his hand and said to Batalina, "Tony, Tony, I swear to you, I will never do such a thing, and neither will my father, especially since he still wants to solve these cases." ”

"It scares you out when you say it, you smart bastard. Batarina said to Liang Dong, "Actually, I want to catch Rasti too, and it's not because I don't want to stay in this hapless neighborhood anymore, Terry. ”

"Why, when these murders are reported, you suddenly have a big change of attitude, Tony?" Liang Dong looked at Batalina amusedly.

"No, it's not. Baattarina waved his hand and explained, "I just think it's one thing for a dog to eat a dog, and no one cares who does it, right? They all do the city a favor, but this one is called Rasti, he's different, Terry." He's not doing it for money, it's not for power, it's not for land, he's crazy, he's like...... He's killing people for fun, Terry. ”

Batalina's analysis should be said to be in place, Liang Dong nodded, looked at him, and said, "I can't believe what I heard. B is finally going to devote himself to this case, huh?"

Batali didn't care about the ridicule in Liang's words, but looked at him with a serious face and said, "I hope you can help me with this case as best you can, Terry?"
