1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 219 Pinkerton

From the outside, Alan Pinkerton is an ordinary-looking American who can no longer be ordinary.

Pinkerton has thinner hair, a high hairline, and a bit of a powerhouse hairstyle, but his thinning hair contrasts sharply with a bushy beard.

In future generations, Pinkerton may consider transplanting his beard to his forehead, but in this era, it is out of the question.

Pinkerton is not tall, and his height is at the average level of Americans in this period, or needs to be slightly higher.

But his figure was very solid and strong. What impressed Liang Yao the most was Pinkerton's sharp eyes like vultures.

These eyes are shrewd, cunning and murderous.

"Mr. Liang, hello, I'm Pinkerton, the director of Pinkerton Detective Agency, I heard that you are interested in my detective firm, I rushed over from Chicago non-stop after I got the news. "

Just as Liang Yao opened the door and walked into Doyle's Cafe, Pinkerton immediately stood up and introduced himself to Liang Yao.

"Pinkerton Detective Agency is committed to serving high-class people, and it is an honor for Pinkerton Detective Agency to serve a distinguished person like you."

The Pinkerton Agency has just been established for more than a year, although the number of detectives in the Detective Detective Agency has grown from 8 to [-], making it a leader in the industry.

But Pinkerton took on small, hand-to-mouth jobs, just a little bit of trouble.

Pinkerton knows very well that the detective agency is not an ordinary company, it does dirty work, walks in the gray area on the edge of the law, and will inevitably offend people and touch the law.

If his detective agency wants to survive, it must rely on the powerful, and only by serving the powerful can it survive.

And Liang Yao was the first dignitary to take the initiative to find him, and Pinkerton cherished this opportunity very much.

"I heard you used to be a police detective in Chicago, and you're still doing a good job as a detective."

Liang Yao sat down and took the coffee offered by Doyle.

In this era, there is still a gap in criminology and detective technology, and Pinkerton is the one who fills this gap.

Pinkerton is not the first private detective in the world, but he is indeed the first to professionalize and industrialize detectives, and to carry forward this industry.

In order to start the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Pinkerton still resigned from his public office in the Chicago Police Department and set up his own detective agency. I have to say that he is still very courageous.

"In the United States, no one is more professional than me in this area, including those poor cops."

Pinkerton said very confidently.

"If you hire me, I will provide you with the most professional and thoughtful service in America."

Pinkerton is not exaggerating. Although the United States has a modern police system, this system is not mature.Moreover, Pinkerton himself has been a policeman in the United States, and he knows the virtues of American policemen very well.

In fact, not only the United States, but all national police systems in this era are immature.

Not only is the police system immature, but even the police officers within the system are immature, and their professional level is quite amateurish.

In American states, especially the sparsely populated western states, the police are more of a sheriff than a professional police officer.

Take Fleck, the California sheriff that Liang Yao is most familiar with, for example. Before joining the police, Flegg served in the army. Fleck can be said to know nothing about investigating crimes and solving crimes.

But Fleige is really clear about cheating, kidnapping, extortion and extortion.

It is indeed beyond their ability to let the American police in this period solve the case, and it is a bit difficult for them.

What's more, it is the normal state of the American police in this period to collect money and do nothing. It is no wonder that the United States is more willing to trust the private detective firm of people like Pinkerton from top to bottom, from the private sector to the government.

When encountering difficult things, he is more willing to hire detectives to solve the problem or directly solve the problematic person instead of going to the police.

After all, the detective agency is a private organization, and you are looking for them and the detective agency is an employment relationship.

Although the detective agency also collects money, which is quite expensive, at least after receiving the money, it will still work seriously and give you an answer, which is much more reliable than those uncles in the police stations of various states.

"As long as you can prove your business ability to me, I can provide you with a generous employment contract. With my support, it will not be difficult to open a detective agency in London or Paris in the future."

As he spoke, Liang Yao wrote a name on a piece of paper and scratched the piece of paper in front of Pinkerton.

"I want you to find out the details of this person."

The Detective Agency has expanded its business from Chicago to New York just over a year after its establishment, which shows that Pinkerton is a very ambitious and visionary person.

If Pinkerton had grown up the Pinkerton Detective Company ten years later, Liang Yao would not consider taking it for his own use.

Because at that time, the Pinkerton Detective Company had already grown in size and opened up contacts in the political and business circles, which Liang Yao could not control.

But now the Pinkerton Detective Agency has just started, its scale and influence are very small, and it urgently needs someone to cover its back and needs more resources.

The water in Pinkerton and his detective agency in 1851 was very shallow, and Liang Yao could still grasp it.

"Charlie the Wall Street Bandit."

Pinkerton picked up the slip of paper on the table and read the name on it.

"Mr. Liang, do you have more information?"

New York in this era does not have a complete and mature household registration system. It is almost as difficult to find a needle in a haystack if you want to find this person among the more than 70 people in New York with a name and nickname.

Charlie is a relatively popular name. Maybe there are hundreds of people named Charlie in New York.

Rao Pinkerton, who is very experienced as a detective, also finds this matter very difficult.

"If I had more information, would I still hire you?" Liang Yao said displeased.

"Okay, I will take on your task."

Pinkerton nodded and put the film into his pocket.

"Boss, something happened on the road, I'm late, sorry."

Just as Liang Yao and Pinkerton were discussing the matter, Connie rushed into Doyle Cafe in a hurry, his face was bruised and purple, and his clothes were covered with mud.

"How did you become like this?" Liang Yao frowned.

"I came too hastily, the carriage turned into a ditch." Coney made an excuse, trying to cover up the fact that he had been to the casino.

"Can an overturned carriage throw you like this?" Liang Yao's face sank, "Your words are too clumsy. I hate people lying to me the most in my life. If you don't tell me the truth, I will dissolve the relationship between us." employment contract."

Kony is his personal assistant, and Liang Yao can't tolerate his personal assistant not telling him the truth.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Kony rubbed his scarred face and said angrily.

"I went to the casino on Broadway and bought Walter will win the first place in the Liang Yao Invention Award for US$5000. I won US$4. As a result, I was dragged into an alley and beaten up shortly after I left the casino. Don, the 4 US dollars in hand was also robbed!"

$4?
When hearing this astronomical figure, Pinkerton couldn't help swallowing.

In the backwaters of Chicago, you can count the number of people worth over $[-].

Unexpectedly, a gamble in a New York casino can earn tens of thousands of dollars, which really opened Pinkerton's eyes.
