America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 430 Hanif's New Position

"Boss, it's not appropriate to meet Holly now."

Hanif said eagerly.

Before finding out the inner ghost, Hawley may be watched all the time. Once he has contact with him, he will probably be caught.

"Then what good solution do you have?" Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows.

"I suggest that all three be withdrawn, assign them other tasks, and then find an opportunity to investigate them clearly," Hanif said.

Chen Jianqiu dragged his cheeks with his hands, tilted his head and looked at Hanif:
"These three people are now Holly's right-hand men. If you withdraw, are you planning to abolish your martial arts? Withdraw all of them, what should we do if we go on strike?"

"Also, what if the undercover is not among them? I'm just guessing."

"If you're among them, it's easy to find out, but if you can't find out, how do you explain it to your other brothers? Huh?"

"Undercover, did you just withdraw? How do you ask Holly to explain that three officers disappeared at the same time? Is he pursuing this matter or not?"

Chen Jianqiu asked a series of questions that Hanif couldn't even raise his head.

It was Chen Jianqiu's task to cooperate with Holly.

Now that people around Hawley have problems, he cannot escape the blame.

He knew that his boss was extremely demanding, so just bowing his head and being scolded this time might not be able to solve the problem.

"Where did Downey go?" For some reason, Chen Jianqiu suddenly thought of Hanif's little follower.

"Deal with the detective agency." Hanif said honestly.

"Call him over." Chen Jianqiu gave the order.

After a while, Downey was brought in front of Chen Jianqiu by Hanif.

"Have you learned anything from your master recently?" Chen Jianqiu looked Donnie up and down.

Compared with before, the young man is much darker and thinner.

"Report to the boss, I didn't learn anything."

The young man was as straightforward as ever, and Hanif, who was standing aside, wanted to throw him out of the window.

"Then do you have any opinion on Master?" Chen Jianqiu asked kindly, "He doesn't teach you anything."

"Report to the boss! No! The master asked me to help the front-line detectives. He told me that all the big shots started from the grassroots!"

Donnie stood upright and said seriously.

Hanif had a headache, as before, he really didn't know whether his stupid apprentice said something good or bad every time.

"Well, very good, your master is right." Chen Jianqiu nodded, "You have trained well in the front line."

He stood up, walked to Downey's side, and patted him on the shoulder:

"From now on, you are the head of the California branch of the Border Detective Agency."

Downey opened his mouth, thinking his boss was joking.

"You heard me right, you are in charge now." Chen Jianqiu nodded at Downey.

"What about me?" Hanif said with a sad face.

"I will be your apprentice's assistant." Chen Jianqiu said expressionlessly, "Work hard with your apprentice."

After speaking, he picked up the hat and put it on his head, and walked towards the door.

When he walked to the door, Chen Jianqiu suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and waved to Donnie.

Downey walked up to Chen Jianqiu, who said something into his ears, and then patted him on the back heavily:
"Good job! Don't forget to arrange a meeting with Holly."

After Chen Jianqiu left, Hanif and his apprentice were left in the room.

Downey was still standing there.

Everything just now seemed like a dream.

"Master, what should we do now?" The boy asked Hanif the same as before.

"Why are you asking me? You are the boss here now." Hanif said angrily, "You should give me orders, not ask me!"

Downey thought about it, and felt that what his master said made sense.

He straightened his chest, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Mr. Hanif, I order you now, please tell me what we should do now?"

"Bah."

The new California head of the Border Detective Agency has a paper bag on his head.

"Do you really think you're a boss?" Hanif's eyes widened, "I really don't know what the boss thinks, let you be the person in charge, and those bastards in Pinkerton will find a chance to come back tomorrow !"

He walked back and forth in the living room for a few steps, then stopped, looked up at Downey and asked.

"Tell me, what did the boss tell you just now?"

Downey rubbed his head: "He said your salary will not change."

When Hanif heard this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Just masturbate, as long as you don’t cut your salary, if you have enough money, it’s okay for me, Hanif, to be my apprentice’s assistant.

But after walking back and forth a few more times, he stroked his beard and fell into thought.

After a while, he suddenly realized what Chen Jianqiu meant.

The next day, Downey and Hanif appeared at the gate of the headquarters of the Knights of Labor in California, dressed in civilian clothes and hats.

At this time, other officers of the Labor Knights were going to the major factories to contact the strike.

So this yard is deserted and deserted, and there is no one there.

The two went straight to the room in the middle.

Donnie knocked on the door.

The small partition of the narrow observation window above the door was removed, and a pair of eyes appeared inside the observation window.

When those eyes saw Downey and Hanif outside the door, they disappeared instantly.

Holly's head poked out the window.

He quickly looked left and right, and after seeing that there was no one else, he shrank back.

The door was quickly opened.

"Who are you looking for?"

Hawley asked as he sideways let them in.

Hanif stood behind Downey and looked into the room.

There was a big table in the room, and his three undercover agents were surrounding the table. There were some papers on the table, and the three of them were calmly putting away the papers on the table.

All three of them knew Hanif, but due to the usual single-line contact and the different time of infiltrating the Labor Knights, they did not know each other that the other was an undercover agent.

In this world, only Hanif and Hawley knew the identities of the three frontier detective agencies at the same time. Yesterday, there was an extra Chen Jianqiu.

Therefore, when Hanif and Downey came in, the three of them pretended not to know each other, and calmly reacted as an officer of the Labor Knights should.

"Okay, everyone in the room is our own, don't pretend." Hanif scratched his head.

The three undercover agents looked at each other.

They usually have more or less guesses about each other's identities, but this kind of official certification is the first time.

Holly, who was about to let the three avoid him, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Hanif say this.

He closed the door and asked Hanif, "Why are you here? Didn't you agree that I would contact you? Is there something urgent? Did anyone see you on the way here?"

"You are a big man, why are you talking like a woman?"

Hanif was about to take two steps forward, but he glanced at Downey who was standing upright, and then backed away.

"To be precise, I am not looking for you, but someone else is looking for you. Let the new head of the Border Detective Agency's California branch, Mr. Downey, tell you about the specific matters."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the door, leaned against the wall, and pointed to Downey sourly.

This time, the whole house was shocked.

The leader has changed, why don't they know?Should Hanif leave or stay? Is his undercover career coming to an end?
"Hey, don't look at me with that expression." Hanif rested his hands on the back of his head and looked at Holly, "I was just being slapped."

Hawley has known Downey since his time in Roswell.

This young man is straightforward and has a clear mind, but Hawley really can't think of any possibility that he can lead a state's border detectives.

But no matter what, what Hanif said is mostly true.

He walked up to Downey:
"Donnie, who is looking for me?"

Downey straightened his waist habitually, and at the same time replied without reservation:
"The boss wants to see you!"
