America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 429 They Are Back Again
The meeting ended quickly.

Brannan smiled and sent the rich people to the carriage, and watched them leave.

Chen Jianqiu was the last one.

He came out of the stable, grabbing the ears of the black turnips that were enjoying themselves.

"I want you to relax. I don't want you to harm the mare in other people's houses. If it is born, who will it be?"

Chen Jianqiu rolled his eyes, and cursed at Hei Luobo's ears.

Black Carrot is not afraid of anything, he dares to go through the hail of bullets, he dares to fight against a pack of wolves alone, but he has no temper at all in front of this master.

It drooped its head, "tweeted" twice, and carried Chen Jianqiu to the gate.

"Mr. Chen, don't forget to come over next week."

Brannan smiled and waved him.

Chen Jianqiu took off his hat and returned a salute, then turned around the pier and left Brannan's house.

Seeing Chen Jianqiu's back disappearing at the end of the road, the smile on Brannan's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a face that was sinking like water.

"Mr. Brannan, you know that this person is inextricably linked to the California Labor Knights, why didn't you directly expose him at the meeting."

asked the waiter at the side.

However, his tone did not have the humbleness of a servant treating his master at all.

This waiter was the one who just closed the door, and he unbuttoned the collar of his clothes.

Obviously the dress didn't fit him well and he wasn't used to it.

His gray beard was shaggy and shaggy, and his face was furrowed.

It made him look a bit shabby.

"Isn't it because you haven't been able to find tangible evidence yet!" Brannan was a little unhappy, "No wonder you were forced out of California by him."

"Sorry, Mr. Brannan."

The waiter apologized, but there was no regret on his face.

Brannan's sloppy, probing, and non-showdown would have exposed undercover operations in the Knights of Labor.

But it was also possible that it wasn't him, Brannan, and he didn't care.

"This man is very powerful. We still haven't been able to find any evidence that he set fire to Pinkerton in San Francisco. If it weren't for the rapid expansion of the Border Detective Agency, I'm afraid I still can't understand it."

"As it is now?" Brannan said with a tinge of sarcasm. "It's really ironic to think about it. The Knights of Labor, which started with PAI, managed to unify the labor unions in California with the help of Chinese workers."

He finally took a look at the waiter.

"What? Do you still want to return to California through this matter?"

The waiter shook his head: "Don't worry, we are very professional, one size is equal to one size, since we have received your money, we will do your things well."

"As for our account with him, we will settle it slowly."

Brannan tidied up his clothes: "It's better like this. Hurry up and contact your undercover agent and let him find evidence."

After that, he turned around and walked back to his mansion.

However, the waiter did not leave.

He looked in the direction where Chen Jianqiu was leaving, and did not speak for a long time.

Pinkerton's founder, Mr. Alan Pinkerton, died two years ago.

The Irish cooper died of an infected wound after he fell and bit his tongue on his way out (author's note: true!).

His two sons were caught up in a fight for control of the detective agency and had no time for West.

Plus the explosive expansion of the Frontier Detective Agency in the West.

Pinkerton Detective Agency has been completely squeezed out of the West.

After hearing that his apprentice was kicked out of the Pinkerton detective agency, the old man disguised as a waiter decided to come out of the mountain again after enjoying his retirement life on the ranch.

As one of the earliest employees of the Pinkerton Detective Agency in the west, he couldn't bear to see the country he had built with his own hands, and it was lost.

He is the only one still alive among the original Pinkerton "Three Heroes of the West": Hellman.

"Chen Jianqiu, you killed my brother and abolished my apprentice. I will settle our debt with you this time!"

"Ah!"

Chen Jianqiu sneezed.

He sat on the sofa in the living room of Hanif's house, not saying a word.

Hanif, who was standing aside, was a little guilty.

His wife came over with a cup of coffee.

Hanif took the coffee from his wife and carefully handed it to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu took the coffee.

Hanif's heart dropped in half.

If you are willing to take your own coffee, you should be fine.

But following Chen Jianqiu's words, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up again.

"Did you know that Holly is out of control?" Chen Jianqiu took a sip of coffee, staring at Hanif, "All plans and matters about the strike have been completely leaked."

Hanif suddenly felt cold from top to bottom.

"Impossible, my undercover has been watching, but anyone who can get in touch with the core plan of the strike will be watched to death." He whispered.

"Give me the information on the three undercover agents you were with Holly." Chen Jianqiu ordered.

Hanif didn't dare to neglect, and walked quickly to his study.

After a while, he came out with three brown paper bags in his hand.

Chen Jianqiu took the three paper bags from Hanif.

Each paper bag is tightly sealed with wax, and there is an artificial layer of dust on it, which can be seen as long as someone has moved it a little.

"Letter opener." Chen Jianqiu held out his hand to Hanif.

The paper bag was opened, and Chen Jianqiu was sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee while browsing the materials of the three undercover agents.

Neville Duncan, formerly known as Mark Simon, was a senior undercover agent of the Pinkerton Detective Agency and was recruited by Hanif himself.
He had previously worked in the gold mines near Utah and Sacramento, and had also joined the Pacific Railroad Company as a miner and railroad worker with rich experience, and now works as a longshoreman.

Chen Jianqiu noticed that Hanif made a note under his information in tiny handwriting: This person is greedy for money.

Andre Gordon, whose original name is unknown, fitter, formerly an informant of the Pinton Detective Agency, was on the line as a Pinkerton detective. After this detective was hired by Hanif, this line became the Border Detective Agency.

Originally, according to the rules, this line was a hidden line, and only the detective and the informant knew their identity.

But by coincidence, the detective resigned and was going home to inherit the family property, so the line fell directly into Hanif's hands.

Ryan Bowen, lumberjack.

This man is really a real worker. Hanif met him when he was helping the boss of the logging camp to deal with the bandits in the surrounding area.

Haniff found Bowen to be brave and resourceful, the only downside being that he was a bit too extreme at times.

This is also one of the reasons why he was able to sneak into the Labor Knights.

Chen Jianqiu read the materials of these three people.

Judging from the description in the data, these three people have their own problems:
Duncan is greedy for money, Bowen is extreme, and Gordon is the least aware of the three of them.

Chen Jianqiu stuffed the materials back into the bag and looked at Hanif with a blank expression.

Hanif was horrified at the sight.

He suddenly had an idea.

After reading the profiles of these three people, the boss doesn't think he is the undercover agent, does he?
But Hanif did have his reasons for choosing these three people.

Firstly, they had been in ambush in the Labor Knights for a long time, although they were not doing well for various reasons; secondly, in his opinion, the professional abilities of these three people were all okay, at least helping Hawley unify the California labor union organization.

On a certain level.

These three are the most suitable candidates.

Fortunately, Chen Jianqiu did not continue to embarrass Hanif.

He handed Hanif the three paper bags, making what seemed to him the most unwise request at the moment:
"Arrange for me to meet Holly."
