America's King of Poetry

Chapter 63 Transporting heroes is not free

Because the evidence of alibi was too sufficient, the jury unanimously deliberated, Arthur was not guilty, and he was released in court.

After the judge made the verdict, Gina ran to Arthur and hugged him tightly. Karen looked at Arthur with playful eyes, which made Arthur a little embarrassed.Uncle Sisi, the plaintiff's attorney, soon left the courtroom with the prosecutor and others, and disappeared into the crowd.Arthur watched Ceci's leaving back, thinking that this might be the last time he saw him, the last time.

The next day, that is, the morning of June 6, when Uncle Ceci was setting up a stall in Little Italy, he was hit by a pickup truck that rushed out from the side of the road.It even knocked over several stalls next to it, causing two people to be injured.His daughter, Joya Ceci, seemed not to be too sad after learning of her father's death. After completing the relevant procedures, she moved out of the apartment in Little Italy in the afternoon.After that, no one saw her in New York again, and it is said that she went to Charlotte's relatives.

Arthur went through a short period of imprisonment. Fortunately, the timing of his opponent's framing him was not well chosen, otherwise Arthur would have more troubles.When he walked out of the court, Arthur felt that he breathed the free air, which was really sweet.Arthur shook hands with Karen and said, "Thank you very much, your wonderful defense made me free, thank you."

Karen looked at Arthur with complicated eyes, and she found that she couldn't see through this man more and more.I thought it was a coincidence in life, but the mysterious veil on his body instigated Karen to approach him and uncover him.Curiosity is the biggest weakness of a smart woman, and Karen doesn't want to correct it, because she has enough self-confidence.So she looked at Arthur a little unscrupulously. Gina on the side obviously felt threatened, stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Arthur's arm, looked at Karen with sharp eyes, and showed no kindness to the lawyer who defended Arthur.

Women's intuition is very keen.

Until the three got into Dorothy's car, Gina didn't let go of her hand.Arthur touched Gina's head and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "I'm worrying you, I'm fine, I'm fine." Gina let go of Arthur's arm, groped Arthur's bearded face, her eyes suddenly fogged up, and she hugged Arthur tightly again, "I thought you really did something like that, I thought I was going to visit you in prison."

Arthur laughed and said, "Why, Joya looks exactly like her father. Can you imagine that I'm fucking a female version of Uncle Ceci? I'll be scared of impotence."

Gina laughed out loud, and Dorothy in the front seat laughed out loud. Arthur's mouth is quite poisonous.But Gina immediately turned serious and asked, "That defense lawyer, did I know you before? What's her name?"

Arthur replied: "No, I don't know, she is a free lawyer, and she just did some investigation and evidence collection work. Her name is Karen, Karen Adams."

Adams, a very common and very special surname in the United States.It is the No.1 surname in the world in Christianity, and it is also the surname of a founding father of the United States.From traffickers and pawns to political families, this surname may be crowned after the first name.Arthur thought back to the scene when they parted just now. When the two shook hands, Karen stroked his palm lightly with her finger, which really made people feel a little excited.

"Where are we going next?" Arthur was interrupted by Dorothy, who was driving to a traffic light, a red light.

"Let's take Gina back to school first. She came here on leave today... Then, I want to find a place to take a shower, shave, and rest."

……

Dorothy drove Gina back to school. When they parted, Dorothy gave Gina 50 dollars and asked her to take a taxi to the villa in Nassau County immediately after school, and not to go back to the apartment in Little Italy for the time being.Then, Arthur and Dorothy had lunch at a restaurant in Brooklyn called "Sterling's Cottage".The two found a seat very far in the back. After eating, they waited until two o'clock when Abramo pushed the door and entered with a person.

Yesterday Dorothy had an appointment with Abramo at this restaurant in Brooklyn at two o'clock, and he was very punctual.

Sitting down by the window, Abramo took Arthur's hand and kissed it lightly on the back of his hand, "It's hard, Godfather." Abramo came with Abramo, a fat middle-aged Italian, with a medium build, a pair of big eyes, and a fleshy nose that looked a little funny.When he saw Abramo calling a young man in his early 20s Godfather, his eyes widened, and he felt a little inconceivable.

Abramo introduced: "This is my good brother, good assistant, absolutely trustworthy partner, Paul, Paul Moriarty. Paul, this is the real godfather, the president of the Red Heart Society. I recommend you to join the Red Heart Society and become one of us."

There was doubt in Paul's eyes. He and Abramo have been friends for decades, and the two fought together in Jersey.During this period of time, he found that Abramo was not the same as before. He became more excited and ambitious, which made Paul very excited.Yesterday he told Paul that he had joined a secret society and that he wanted to introduce Paul into it.Of course Paul is willing, but he is still curious, what organization will Abramo join?Isn't the family their organization?

Today, Abramo took Paul to far away Brooklyn. In this remote, dilapidated restaurant with few people, he met a woman and a boy in his early 20s.Abramo also called this kid the godfather, saying that he was the leader of the secret organization and wanted to introduce Paul to join.Paul felt that Abu must be crazy, or bewitched by something.When he was a child, he often heard stories about the Ku Klux Klan from his grandma. Could this young man belong to the Ku Klux Klan?

Paul was full of doubts, but Arthur heard Abramo mentioning this Paul several times.He has never been married and lives with his mother, who has left him alone since her death last year.He is not good at drinking, lascivious or gambling, his only hobby is money, he is greedy for money.But he is very loyal to Abramovich.Arthur always believes that a person who is greedy for money is better to control than a person who is passionate.Money will not change, but friendship is ever-changing.Paul is experienced and reliable. He has a wide range of contacts in New Jersey and Manhattan, and has many friends. He is a capable man.

Arthur poured Paul a glass of lemonade and said, "Since you are recommended by Luca, I welcome you to join our Red Heart Club."

Paul didn't drink the water that Arthur poured for himself, and said, "I trust Luca, but I didn't say that I want to join this Red Heart Society. What is it for? The Ku Klux Klan? Or the Mutual Aid Society for the Poor? What good can I do?"

Arthur said: "Here, everyone can get what he wants most."

Paul smiled, thinking that Abu didn't know what kind of drug he had taken. This kid looked like a cult leader to deceive people. He didn't believe that.

Arthur continued: "It's not so easy to join, you need to complete the test given by the organization, help me, should say help Luca do something, tomorrow."

"what's up?"

"Luka will tell you later...Luka, have you got the address?"

"Got it."

"sure?"

"Okay, the source is reliable."

Arthur asked for a cigarette from Dorothy, and Luca immediately took out the lighter and lit Arthur's cigarette.Paul stared at Abramovich. He couldn't believe that the boss of his family was like a younger brother, lighting a cigarette for a young man. Is this still the tyrannical Wolf of New Jersey, Luca Abramo?

"Did you find any clues about framing me this time?" Arthur shifted the topic to this sexual assault case, and he needed to find a place to vent his anger.

"I checked with someone, and it was Sisi who reported the case one day after the incident. However, Joya-Sisi's testimony has changed. At first she said that you knocked on the door. When she opened the door, she found that the person did not look like you, but he pushed him into the room before she could react. Then she changed her words and said it was you, so the police came to arrest you." Abu used the inside line of the New York Police Department and saw the case file.

"Who is most likely to do this?"

"I think it might be Jackie."

Arthur was not surprised by this answer. Jackie had been staring at Arthur since the last meeting. He probably hoped that Arthur could be used by him and become a pawn in his subversion of the Luciano family.If this is the bureau he designed, it can be said that the design is quite ingenious, and it must have taken a lot of time and thought.Arthur thought, this Jackie saw himself.

After chatting for a while, Arthur told Abu to take Paul away, "Tomorrow's affairs must be done well, for Vera's sake."

Abu nodded, patted Paul on the shoulder, and signaled him to leave.Before Paul left, he drank the lemonade that Arthur poured for himself.After leaving the house, just as Paul was about to ask, Abu pointed at his nose and said, "You can't talk to Arthur with that attitude! You are the first person recommended by the organization, do you understand? I only recommended you as a brother. You can't act like you don't care."

Paul shrugged and said, "I drank the water he poured for me. I don't know anything about this Red Heart Club, Luca. You never said it before."

"Then I'll tell you now, you have to get things done tomorrow, and then you can join the club."

"what's up?"

The two talked while walking, walked to the front of the car and opened the door to get in, Abu said: "Tomorrow, you are going to give a McDonald's."

"That's it? To whom?"

"Hakeem Olajuwon."

……

Abu and Paul stayed in the restaurant for less than half an hour, while Arthur and Dorothy sat in the restaurant and continued to wait. At three o'clock, Russell also arrived.He was still wearing the black tracksuit and the gray peaked cap on his head. His face was still cold, and he would only smile a little when he saw Arthur.

He sat across from Arthur, took off his hat and put it on the table, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and said in a low voice, "I found out who Schmidt was calling on the day you were arrested. It was Dior, and the call was from Dior's house."

After learning that Arthur was arrested, Russell immediately went to Luciano's restaurant and questioned every employee.The handyman Willie told Russell everything that happened at that time. He was originally placed in the restaurant by Russell to protect Arthur and monitor other people.After Russell learned of Schmidt's unusual behavior, he immediately went to the telecommunications company to check the restaurant's phone call records that day, and found that the call came from Dior's home.

Arthur tapped the table with his fingers. He had long suspected that Dio and the Gandolfil family had secretly communicated with the song. Moreover, to frame Arthur, there must be someone who knew Arthur's situation and movements better.Using Dior to contact Schmidt is indeed the best way to get news.Schmidt secretly held grudges because the siblings wanted to take back the right to operate the restaurant, and wanted to send Arthur to prison with tricks, so that Dorothy would quit.

"Tomorrow night, at Luciano's Restaurant, hold a corner meeting in the name of distributing Tony's assets. Contact Silves to get him ready. Also, bring Mr. Schmidt along."

Arthur made up his mind to clean up the family and eliminate the traitors within the Luciano family.Russell nodded without saying a word, put back his hat, and left the restaurant within 3 minutes.Dorothy ordered two more coffees and a sandwich, fearing that Arthur would be hungry.The two sat in the restaurant for another hour and a half. Arthur went out to buy a pack of cigarettes, went to the toilet twice, and walked around.Until it was getting late and it was time for dinner, the third person finally came.

Matthew sneaked into the dining room under the cover of night. He sat across from Arthur, smoking a cigarette, and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and the last wisp of smoke rose up.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the night has shrouded, and the restaurant's neon lights are on.Matthew looked a little tired, he always looked tired.But he instead greeted Arthur first, "Are you all right?"

Arthur nodded and said, "Sitting here means I'm fine. How's the situation?"

Matthew looked a little hungry. Arthur gave Matthew the uneaten sandwich and waited patiently for him to finish eating.Matthew drank another cup of coffee before saying, "It was Thiago, it was Thiago who did it. He raped that woman and then put the blame on you. He told me himself that he, like me, is a peripheral thug of the family, and we have a good relationship. He said that he found your condom in the trash can, and it's best to flush it in the toilet next time."

Matthew was the last to come, for Dorothy knew his time was uncertain, but he was the closest to the enemy and gave the most accurate information.It was indeed the hands and feet of the Gandolfield family who sent someone to rape Arthur's neighbors and put the blame on him.Things are already clear.

Arthur called the waiter in the restaurant, ordered three steak pasta, and ordered a stack of French fries, and the three of them settled the dinner together.

"You are at Jackie's place, you must pay attention to safety. I am still waiting for your promotion in the FDA." Arthur reminded Matthew.

"Yes, I know. Oh, and one more thing. The family recently has a large shipment coming from the south, which is said to be a new type of medicine. This is an opportunity." Matthew provided another important piece of information.Since Wood's death, the Gandolfield family has made major adjustments in the drug line, and Matthew has come into contact with more information.Jackie is in a state of desperation, and seems to lack the ability to distinguish and employ people.

When Arthur heard the news, he suddenly thought of an ancient Chinese poem, "The heaven and the earth all work together, but the hero is not free when transported away."
