A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 331

Although he didn't know who he was waiting for, when Jacob brought a group of Pinkerton agents to visit Arthur, Arthur knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

"Mr. Morgan, meet Jacob Spencer. You can call me Jacob. I am the head of the newly established department, the Bureau of Investigation (BOI). I know Joseph very well, so, I think I And Mr. Morgan, you don’t need to be too outspoken?”

Arthur looked at Jacob from head to toe and said:
"Mr. Spencer from the Bureau of Investigation, it seems to me that the people you are bringing are all Pinkerton agents?"

"The new department, in order to save costs, does not have new uniforms for the time being, but they no longer belong to the Pinkerton Detective Agency, but to the agents of the Bureau of Investigation. They are all formal government employees. Mr. Morgan, in addition to caring about this Besides, don’t you care why I came to you?”

Although Jacob showed such a seemingly easy-going appearance, Arthur didn't take it seriously. He didn't want to develop the habit of judging a person based on the first impression. You know, Habits will always dominate those who are not good at thinking, but Arthur likes to think and does not like to be dominated.

"Well, I heard from Joseph that Webster was killed. It seems that this case has not been solved yet, and Joseph was also kidnapped at that time, wasn't he? So, Mr. Spencer is here to investigate this case Of?"

Although Spencer came uninvited, he saw that Arthur had no intention of inviting him in to talk alone until now.

This surprised Jacob. He did not forget the warning Joseph gave him before setting off.

"Mr. Morgan said that this case is worthy of investigation, but it is not the reason why I came to visit you today. Let's get back to it. Before we officially start discussing these things, isn't it true that Mr. Morgan is not going to invite me to sit inside? Want to chat?" Jacob smiled friendly.

Arthur said apologetically:
"Oh, I forgot how to treat guests. Come on, let's go into the office and chat."

Jacob followed Arthur into the office, and the people he brought and Martin were left outside.

"any drinks?"

"No, I'm not in the habit of drinking while we're talking, but if you have a cigar you'll have a cigar for me."

Arthur took out one from the cigar box next to the desk and threw it to Jacob. Jacob didn't say anything about Arthur's 'rude' action.

After pouring himself a glass of wine, Arthur sat down and asked:

"How's Joseph doing lately? I heard that Babylon Oil's stock is going up very well, so he must be happy, right?"

Hearing that Arthur and himself called Joseph's name directly, although Jacob was very surprised in his heart, he didn't think that the relationship between Arthur and Joseph was so close?But he hid it well and didn't show it on his face.

Jacob replied while smoking his cigar:

"Joseph is not your concern, Mr. Morgan."

Jacob's answer only meant one thing to Arthur, and that was that Joseph probably didn't tell him anything.

As for Jacob, talking to himself in such a condescending manner, to be honest, Arthur felt that this feeling was quite long-lost, so he nodded and said cooperatively:

"Okay, Mr. Spencer, what should I be concerned about?"

"The Lemoyne State Journal is your property, right?"

Yes, but Arthur replied like this:

"No." "?" Jacob was stunned by this unexpected answer. After slowly exhaling the smoke from his mouth, he frowned and said:

"No? Mr. Morgan, this is different from the information I learned. So, do you know who the owner of Lemoyne State Journal is?"

It's not that Jacob really believed what Arthur said. He just said this because he wanted to continue to hear what Arthur had to say.

Arthur said in an intriguing tone to Jacob who was listening attentively:
"I do not know."

"..."

Arthur is too lazy to make up a nonsense with him. For this kind of person who can't figure out the big and small kings, it's better to let him recognize the reality in advance. After all, it seems that the director of the investigation bureau, Ya Jacob Spencer may be dealing with himself for a long time.

"Mr. Morgan, you seem to be getting carried away."

"Ah, Mr. Spencer, I haven't forgotten who I am, but I'm curious, how about you?"

After Arthur said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became uncomfortable.

Jacob didn't expect to face such a situation before he came. According to his assumption, it should have gone smoothly?
What gave Arthur Morgan the confidence to speak to him with such an attitude?

In any case, it doesn't make much sense to continue the silence. Jacob sneered and said:

"You don't think that with that material in your hand, you can't control it, do you?"

"What kind of materials, Mr. Spencer really likes to talk nonsense. Could it be that he is a newcomer, and he is a little unaccustomed?"

Arthur continued to use an attitude that made Jacob hate him, and continued to respond to every question he asked, using only a rhetorical question to dismiss him.

After chatting for a few more words, Jacob finally shut up and stopped asking questions. He had realized that continuing like this would be just a waste of time. Then he stood up straight away, without even saying goodbye, and took the The people who walked through the door left here.

Looking at the investigation bureau agents who left in an angry manner, Martin smiled and asked Arthur, who followed Jacob:
"Boss, is he the person you are waiting for?"

"Hmm, that's right."

"Then you didn't have a pleasant conversation?"

"Who said that, I am very happy, but our Mr. Spencer may not be used to the water and soil in the west. For a while, he may lose control of his emotions. Just wait, the next time he comes to see me, he will It won't be like this anymore," Arthur said with certainty.

This is what happened when Joseph was entertained before. Martin was not involved in it, nor did he hear about it. Otherwise, if he heard Arthur say something like "not accustomed to the soil and water of the West," he would have reacted immediately. I am planning to do something.

However, seeing Arthur's affirmative look, Martin still asked:
"Then boss, why do you have to wait for him in Rhodes? Isn't it the same when you go back to Saint-Denis?"

"Ah, how should I tell you about this problem? Just understand it like this. You are the police chief in Rhodes Town. This will make me feel safer, haha."
