A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 246 The money in Blackwater Town
Did Webster have a sense of humor?
He felt that he did, but since Arthur didn't find it humorous, then forget it. Of course he knew why Arthur wanted to come to him tonight. As for why he came, he had his own considerations in it.

Webster said bluntly to Arthur:
"I can't help you with the matter you asked me to talk about. As for the superiors, they are still considering whether to help you. What I can tell you is that the most troublesome thing in those reports is the death of the French noblewoman. The article Although it didn't directly say that it was related to you, I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional. In short, in the article, they were related to the Van der Linde Gang, and you were related to the Van der Linde Gang, so this is That equates to you being involved in Lucia Carrasco’s death, understand?”

"..."

Webster's words were indeed not frivolous at all. They directly put the most critical issue in front of Arthur. It was not troublesome for them to attack Callahan because he was actually a member of the Van der Linde gang. This This is something that has no basis or evidence. Is it possible that they can go to Da Qi to testify for them?

Therefore, although this part of the tidbits may cause some criticism for a while, things without evidence are destined to cause no trouble.

However, what Webster said is different. If this is taken seriously, someone will soon confirm that Arthur Callahan is Arthur Morgan, and that he is indeed a member of the Van der Linde Gang. , and indeed went on a cruise on the Big Reagan that day. In the end, through these, the death of this damn French noblewoman was pinned directly on Arthur's head.

Don't think this is outrageous. In fact, in today's judicial operations and the need to calm public opinion, this kind of operation is not uncommon.

Seeing that Arthur seemed to have listened and was thinking to himself, Webster revealed another piece of news to Arthur:

"According to the information I have received, an official investigative committee should be finalized soon, and then it will investigate you in the case of Lucia Carrasco's murder."

"As for that? This is just a death? And why should I be investigated?"

This news was really too exciting. Arthur looked at Webster in shock. After a long while, he continued:
"Should I care what this woman's background is?"

Webster shook his head and said:
"It's useless for you to care about this. What the higher-ups want is the gesture, and the people who execute it want the results. As for the truth, maybe you are the only one who cares about it."

Arthur knew that what Webster said was correct, so what if he didn't do it, but no one except himself really cared whether he did it or not.

Thinking of this, Arthur remembered what Webster said at the beginning. He couldn't help him, but the people above him were still considering whether to help. In other words, the people above him were capable of helping him, but there were conditions. ?

"What conditions are you talking about above?"

Hearing Arthur's words, the corners of Webster's mouth raised unconsciously. There is indeed something about this Arthur Morgan. If he didn't ask, then Webster would never mention this part, but naturally Arthur asked , then he answered:

"Blackwater, that money."

As he spoke, Webster turned to look at Hosea, who was sitting aside and listening to the entire conversation between the two, and then continued:

"Tell me the specific hiding place. After confirmation, this trouble of yours will no longer be your trouble."

"..."

Hosea, who had only listened but said nothing the whole time, finally spoke:
"Mr. Webster, I'm curious as to why you think I know where the money is hidden."

Webster replied without hesitation:

"Because, this is what Micah Bell told us. Only you and Dutch Van der Linde know where the money is hidden. Actually, I'm also quite curious. Blackwater Town has been blocked for so long. I have searched many times but failed to find that money. I really don’t know where you guys have hidden it? So are you going to tell me now?” Hosea lit a new cigarette for himself. For several days, he forgot about Dr. Blackburn's medical advice. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he said:
"Last question, if your answer is as honest as the last one, then I will tell you."

"Please."

"What are your plans for Arthur? Since you want this money, and you know that I know the whereabouts of the money, and I am in front of you now, you actually ask me to tell you? Haha, Pinkerton Since when did you start using your mouth to enforce the law?”

After Hosea finished speaking, he stared at Webster's face closely, not letting go of any change in his expression.

Webster smiled not awkwardly, yes, even though he smiled ugly, he still smiled, and he said in an elusive tone:

"Mr. Matthews, let me just treat these questions of yours as just one question. It can be seen that you really care about Mr. Morgan. I think if we had caught Mr. Morgan to question you before, then you must have He will definitely tell us everything we want to know directly. Okay, it’s a bit far-fetched. I’m sorry, I can’t answer your question.”

There is no way to answer what it means, it means that they do have an intention towards Arthur, and this intention is not convenient for Arthur to know.

Although Arthur had always known what they had planned against him, just like what Milton said before his death, he only thought that he was just a half-black and half-white glove responsible for making money.

Now it seems like it’s not that simple anymore?

Webster looked at Hosea and Arthur who were staring at him seriously, and he continued:
"However, I can answer your question for free. We don't arrest you, just because we don't want the money to fall into the hands of people other than us, and because of Mr. Morgan's cooperation all the time, well, we are willing to use a A more friendly, or mutually beneficial way to achieve this goal."

"Don't you think you are doing something unnecessary?" Arthur mocked.

She wants to be a bitch, but she also wants to build a memorial arch, that's all.

Somehow, Arthur actually thought of Milton at this time. He remembered what Milton said: 'People can't be too ignorant or too arrogant, otherwise they will definitely face disaster. '

Now, Webster gave Arthur the feeling of being arrogant and having everything under control.

Thinking of this, Arthur said:
"It's getting late. Please make a trip to Mr. Webster. You'd better go back and rest early."

Faced with Arthur's appearance of seeing off guests, Webster was not angry.

Although today's trip had some meaning of returning without success, only Webster himself knew whether it really resulted in nothing.

After Webster had gone, Arthur sat down beside Hosea and said:

"Smear less, I still remember your doctor's orders."

"Hey, if you don't smoke a cigarette when you think about things, your brain won't be able to move."
