A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 240 Who is the one in charge?

In Webster's office, Webster stood quietly.

"Does that mean one of the two people who knows the whereabouts of the money is in Saint-Denis now?"

"Yes."

After Webster answered in the affirmative, he placed a file he had prepared on the table.

"Make sure the money is ours."

"Yes, sir, the investigation in Cornwall is progressing smoothly, the plan in St. Denis is also being promoted, and the investigation in the western region is also completing a report. As for Arthur Morgan, you Do you really want to stop thinking about it?”

"why?"

"I feel like he is not an honest person."

"What use are honest people to us?"

"..."

……

"It's useless!"

Bronte pointed at Karl, who had just finished tending to the injury and came to report the situation, and cursed.

Bronte was wearing a burgundy silk nightgown and pacing back and forth in his mansion with closed-toe slippers. As he walked, he continued:
"I just asked you to find out this person's background. What's the result? You actually took action. Is this what I asked you to do? Moreover, you have been taught by Hongmen that it is embarrassing and extremely embarrassing. "

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bronte, I messed up."

Karl did not explain. After apologizing, he stood quietly and waited for Bronte's next instructions.

Bronte is Bronte after all, he quickly adjusted his tone and said:

"Forget it, thank you for your hard work, Carl, after all, we all know little about this Arthur Callahan, don't we?"

Bronte walked to the table with red wine, and after pouring himself a glass, he looked at the liquid swaying as he shook it and fell into thought.

It's not a lack of understanding. Bronte still remembers that in the letter from her former partner, Catherine Bravest, she not only talked about the loss of her funds and the attack by the Gray family, but also She also mentioned Arthur Callahan in it, but she didn't write much about it.

However, Bronte can be sure that the Gray family suddenly forced Bravest to a dead end. There must be a reason for this Callahan. The two families who have been fighting for a hundred years ended up almost dying together. It was cheap. someone else...

In the living room, in addition to Bronte and Cole, there was also a typical Italian man sitting on the sofa. He had not said a word from just now to now.

"What do you think, what should be done next, Carlo?"

It wasn't until Bronte, who was holding a glass of wine, asked him for advice that Carlo Gattuso said in his deep voice:
"I'm wondering if the robbery of the Reagan cruise ship has something to do with this Callahan."

This speculation made Bronte frown, and he had already asked people to further investigate the details of Arthur Callahan.

Currently, in Bronte's mind, he only regards Arthur as a businessman with some strength, so he does not connect Arthur with the Big Reagan cruise like Carlo did.

Neither Bronte nor Carl spoke, only Carlo continued to analyze:
"First of all, the time can be matched. Secondly, Karl did not lead people to find out, and he has not beaten anyone yet. Moreover, Arthur Callahan's skills are very good... I think we can use Lucia... Carrasco, the French noblewoman who died on the yacht, is making a fuss."

Carlo is a common Italian male name meaning "free man", while Catuzzo is a local surname that may have originated from the city of Gatuza in southern Italy.

Carlo's name alone is full of strength, wisdom and free will. Okay, let's think about it further. In short, Carlo has always admired Carlo, Bronte's strategist, although he didn't understand why. He didn't know what to make of it, but he looked at Bronte's expression as if he was inspired. He guessed, this should be a good idea?

……

Annesburg, in a small, inconspicuous office.Railway magnate Leviticus Cornwall, local industrialist Archibald Jameson, and Hector Fellowes, owner of the St. Denis Times, were all three men who could be considered giants in the industry. Gathered together, what were they discussing...

……

The Mayor of Saint-Denis in his home office.

Saint-Denis police chief Sergeant Lambert, Mayor Lemieux, and our not-so-famous industrialist Arthur Callahan, or Arthur Morgan, sat around the table.

During this visit, Arthur brought two boxes of cigars to the mayor as a gift, and they are now tasting the box of cigars in front of each other.

"How was it?" Arthur asked with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad. I heard that the production process of Cuban cigars is very complicated and requires many years of storage and fermentation." Sheriff Lambert said as he picked up a cigar and looked at the neatly rolled banknotes under the cigar box. He kept praising him.

Our Mayor of Saint-Denis had a much more natural attitude towards the contents of the box. He took a puff of the lit cigar, and after slowly exhaling the smoke, he nodded slightly and said:
"The taste is unique and the aroma is strong. It's really good. Mr. Callaghan spent a lot of money."

"No, Mr. Mayor is too polite. I just want to thank Mayor Lemieux and Chief Lambert for their outstanding work in serving the citizens. It's really beyond my expectation that the thief was caught so quickly. .”

Listening to the nonsense coming out of his own mouth, the smile on Arthur's face became even brighter.

Is that really him? I miss the time when I could be as yin and yang as I wanted.

Lemieux was very satisfied with Arthur's success. He nodded, smiled and praised Lambert:
"It's all Chief Lambert who has done a good job. It's very good. I think the reason why the security in Saint-Denis has been getting better and better recently is inseparable from Chief Lambert's efforts."

Everyone was carrying the sedan chair, and Lambert was also in trouble. He immediately said humbly:

"Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The changes in public security in Saint-Denis are all due to Mr. Mayor's support of our police department and his firm determination to rectify public security. Of course, there are also good citizens like Mr. Callahan." s hard work."

Okay, after going around like this, everyone has contributed, and everyone is great.

No one in the co-author mentioned that before the thief was caught, Arthur was robbed by a group of children in broad daylight in the most prosperous area of ​​Saint-Denis.

And Arthur, who could only complain crazily in his heart, saw that the atmosphere was almost over, so he said:
"I wonder if the Sheriff recovered my stolen things?"

"..." Lambert, who obviously didn't expect Arthur to ask for anything, was a little dumbfounded.

Isn't it just going to catch these 'thieves' and teach them a lesson?

Although this was somewhat unexpected by Lambert, he quickly thought of an excuse and said:
"These thieves have thrown away the purse after taking the money, Mr Callaghan, you see..."

The implication of Lambert's words is very clear, that is, Arthur, look at how much money you have in your stolen wallet. You just gave it to each person with a box of cigars. Thinking about it, you don't care about getting the little money back.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Arthur said seriously:
"Chief Lambert, the money is not important. You can use it to buy coffee for the brothers who are handling the case. Think of it as my thanks for their hard work in handling the case. However, you must get your wallet back. This is what my father left." For me."

To tell lies is to be natural. Arthur's words were very natural, which not only gave Lambert enough face, but also made Lambert unable to find any reason to evade.

On the side, Lemieux, who had no idea that Lambert had just randomly grabbed a few Hongmen people as scapegoats, responded:

"It must be retrieved. Lambert, you can interrogate the prisoners carefully and see where they threw their things. You should be able to retrieve them."

After Lambert heard this, he was really one of the first two big, and he should be able to get it back, you can find it!

It's a pity that I can't fight back directly.

Not to mention that this was given by the mayor, but when he looked at the big cigar box in front of him, it was hard for him to refuse Arthur now.
