Chapter 410 Godfather



Corneone Catania is an old man who looks kind and dignified.

He has gray hair and sits behind a mahogany desk with his suit unwrinkled. He has a mental state that does not belong to an old man of his age. If you only look at his eyes, you would think he is a businessman in his prime.

Next to him, there was a golden retriever squatting. The dog had shiny fur, but seemed very fierce. Only when it saw Stone coming in did it wag its tail and show a submissive attitude.

In the gang, they all call him the Godfather, because many high-ranking members of the gang are willing to let their children recognize him as their godfather in order to establish a relationship.

"Martina is dead?"

When Cornell spoke of his daughter's death, there was no emotion, as if he was simply asking whether the dinner was over.

"She died in the same way as McGee. It was done by the same killer."

Stone said.

Lu Ban, Trist, and Xia were standing at the door of the room. The door was closed and there were only five of them in the room.

Lu Ban found it a little strange that the godfather did not let his son come to report the situation, but instead found Stone.

If he didn't know who Stone's biological parents were, he might have thought that this was the godfather's illegitimate child.

"These three are the detectives investigating this case."

Stone introduced.

"Tell me about your progress."

There is an unquestionable majesty in Cornell's voice, which makes it easy for people to feel submissive and humble.

This may be some kind of supernatural power.

Lu Ban thought.

Trist briefly stated the results of the current investigation, and all the blame was pointed to the accident that had occurred in Happy Home.

After listening to Drizzt's description, Cornell was silent for a moment.

"What do you think is the best way to make the other party stop?"

he asked Drizzt.

“I think it’s difficult.”

Drizzt answered truthfully.

"His actions were motivated by hatred, Mr. Catania, and hatred is the most ardent of all motives. It is like a flame that will not go out until it has consumed everything that can burn."

"Then we can only put out this fire."

Corneon sighed.

"I will give you enough support to find this killer. You can ask Stone for any support you need. He will give you everything."

Finally, he waved his hand and asked the three to leave.

Stone took them to the banquet hall. All the guests here had left, and only the crime scene was blocked off. The police arrived late and examined the body under the watchful eyes of the gangsters. The scene was inexplicably ironic.

Stone was holding the big golden retriever, and the dog rubbed Stone's hand affectionately, looking very well-behaved.

"I have read your investigation report. I never thought that the battle with the Knife Gang would end in such a tragedy. So I think violence cannot solve all problems. Violence will only breed hatred."

He said, glancing at Lu Ban.

"I didn't expect to see you again."

In front of Lu Ban, Stone seemed to have turned back into stone, that ignorant boy.

"How did you get into the gang?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but ask.

He also didn't expect that Shi Tou would change from such a weak boy to the gang's strategist and integrate into the dark side of the city.

"Because I can read, I started learning to keep accounts in the suburbs. Later, I didn't know why some inspirations often appeared in my mind. These inspirations allowed me to gain a lot of benefits. Later, I became the manager of the shop. The shop was the property of the Catania family. Later, I was appreciated by Sister Carol and was able to get in touch with the core members. Later, I became an adopted son."

Stone said candidly.

"The inspiration that came to my mind..."

Lu Ban could probably guess it.

Just like Song Yunyan witnessed Du Danping's death, when some indescribable power intervenes in the world, the brains of those who witnessed it may be polluted to a certain extent. In foreign lands, knowledge will bring pollution, so pollution also exists in knowledge.

It was probably that night that Stone came into contact with this forbidden knowledge, which caused changes in his brain and enabled him to gain some unexpected things.

Such knowledge can enable Song Yunyan to succeed in business, and naturally will also allow Stone to thrive in the gangster world.

The golden retriever moved closer to Lu Ban, its nose twitching as if it smelled something special.

Puff puff——

It also licked the colorful stains on Lu Ban's body.

“You can’t eat this.”

Lu Ban gave him a lecture.

The dog returned to Stone feeling aggrieved.

"I picked up this dog a while ago. It looks like someone abandoned it. It's strangely close to me."

He explained.

"That murderer can kill people at any time and anywhere without any prior preparation. You'd better pay attention to your surroundings."

Lu Ban reminded.

"I see."

Stone nodded.

"Mr. Catania seems to think highly of you."

Xia's mouth was finally empty because she had nothing to eat.

"Because he thinks I'm capable enough. Although Corsica is ruthless, he has a serious tendency towards violence. My father thinks he lacks the ability to adapt."

Stone was being subtle.

"As a woman, it is difficult for Talia to truly shoulder the responsibility in the family. At least that's what my father thinks."

"I know very well that my current situation is no safer than others. In addition to the assassin's assassination, the attitudes of other people in the family are even more dangerous."

This young man is more mature and calm than his appearance suggests.

"Anyway, if you need any help, I can provide it. I'll have someone collect some intelligence on the Sharp Knife Gang tonight and send it to your detective agency tomorrow morning."

He left a message and contact information, then left with the big golden retriever without a leash.

"I just suddenly thought of something, when you said the murderer could kill people anytime and anywhere."

Trist looked at Stone's departing back and muttered to himself.

"What's up?"

Lu Ban was puzzled.

"Since he can kill people at any time and anywhere, and he is full of hatred for the Catania family, why didn't he kill Corneone or other family members after killing Mrs. Martini?"

Drizzt raised a doubt.

"Does this mean that his actions are limited? He can only appear in certain situations and will try his best to avoid appearing in front of the public?"

"It means he is someone who can be recognized by other people and can be easily targeted."

"You didn't see his face, did you?"

Trist looked at Lu Ban.

"No, if you saw it, that would be the end of it."

Lu Ban felt that Trist was talking nonsense.

"But he wouldn't know that you didn't see his face, and he must have thought you were dead."

Drizzt stroked his chin.

"If you appear again, will he be frightened and panic and take emergency measures, such as..."

"Kill me?"

Lu Ban's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, I've become bait.
