Chapter 267 Routines
It’s still that coffee shop that doesn’t look like a coffee shop.

Arthur and Webster sat facing each other.

"Are you going to let me just let Angelo Bronte hide in the dark and plot against me?"

Arthur asked Webster out today to test a lot of things, and Bronte was just an introduction.

After party at Lemieux.

Although Bronte is now in his safe house, Arthur is still on top of him.

So Arthur knew all Bronte's little moves.

In front of Webster was the espresso ordered by Arthur. He did not reach out to move it, but just stared at the cup and said:

"Have you forgotten the mission I once gave you?"

Approaching Bronte to find evidence that he killed the retired police officer, Arthur remembers what Webster said the little mission was.

However, no matter how I look at it now, Arthur should no longer be responsible for this matter.

"Why, do you hope Bronte will be brought to justice?"

Webster finally picked up the coffee, and after taking a sip, he nodded affirmatively.

Seeing Webster's unwillingness to speak much, Arthur knew that if he didn't put some bait out and reveal some unknowingly true or false information he got from Carlo, then he probably wouldn't be able to get the information from Webster. He asked for information that he wanted to know.

So, Arthur said:
"Just to bring Bronte to justice, then I don't think it has to be charged with killing the retired police officer, do you think so? For example, the Union Railway Company?"

"..."

The two of them were like this. After a brief moment of silence and looking at each other, Webster suddenly put down the coffee cup in his hand and asked in a serious tone:

"What do you know?"

"If you want to know what I know, then you should at least give me a few options, right? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer your question accurately. I know a lot, but I just don't know what you want to know. What."

Webster ignored Arthur's words. He started to analyze directly in front of Arthur:
"I got the news that Carlo's body has not been found. Don't interrupt me. You know who I'm talking about, Bronte's military advisor, the boy who grew up with him... So, he is in your hands. On? Yes, he must be in your hands."

"pass it to me."

With the end of this self-questioning and self-answering discourse, Webster's tone had obvious ups and downs, and then he suddenly denied himself:

"No, no, that's not right..."

But soon, he regained his confidence and continued:

"Mr. Morgan, you can't get anything out of his mouth. As long as he can be used as a breakthrough, it will not be your turn to catch Carlo. We have already done so."

Arthur spread his hands indifferently and said:

"Then why can't you just 'ask' Bronte to go back and cooperate with the investigation?"

"First of all, Mr. Morgan, think about it carefully, who are we?" "Detective Pinkerton?" Arthur replied simply.

"Look, we're just a detective agency, and let me assume that you know something, well, you know this thing, it doesn't work that way, you understand?"

Listening to the news revealed by Webster, Arthur continued to ask with interest:
"The Ministry of Justice is standing behind you. If you can't do it, doesn't it mean they can't do it?"

"Haha, behind this thing that I assume you know, the people involved can almost be——"

At this point, Webster stopped speaking to Arthur's surprise. Then he looked at Arthur with a smile on his face, who was still waiting for him to continue speaking, and joked:
"Why? Don't you think that you can get my words out in this way? Well, let's end the game of guessing and guessing."

Obviously, Webster's behavior and words just now were just deliberately teasing Arthur.

Just like Carlo's words that make it difficult to distinguish between true and false, Webster also acted as the Riddler with Arthur in what he just said.

However, before Arthur could get angry, Webster changed the subject and said:
"Don't get involved in these things that have nothing to do with you. If I remember correctly, your first formal hearing will begin soon. By the way, we are very satisfied with your earning ability, so the following news is Think of it as an extra gift to you. There will be witnesses against you at this hearing."

"Who?"

"Huh? Are you considering handing Carlo over to us?"

"What Carlo?"

"Well, then it's time for me to get back to work. Let me tell you one last time, this contact point is not for you."

Looking at Webster who left first, Arthur sat in his seat and thought about his gains.

First, Carlo did know something about why Brontë was targeted by Pinkerton, or rather by the Justice Department.

Secondly, it seems that many important political figures are involved?
And finally, and most importantly, from Webster's attitude just now, Arthur can see that although he is not willing to tell Arthur directly what is going on here, he is not very opposed to Webster. Ser should find out for himself. In other words, this secret does not pose a threat to Pinkerton and the Justice Department bosses behind him, and it is most likely that they regard it as something that can be exploited?

Until Arthur walked out of the cafe, he was still thinking about what to do. If Arthur wanted Bronte's life, he had to figure out the twists and turns behind it...

Charlie and others were waiting for Arthur outside. After seeing that he looked like he was thinking about something, he just followed behind silently and paid attention to his surroundings without disturbing him.

After what happened to Mary, Charlie no longer allowed Arthur to go out alone, and the reason for Charlie's insistence was also very simple. Now Arthur has too many enemies. No one knows when Arthur will A kid with a gun will appear behind him.

"Charlie." Arthur, who still couldn't understand, shouted. After Charlie took a few steps and came to his side, Arthur continued:

"The branch will officially open tomorrow, right? Have all the clerical staff been arranged?"

Charlie replied succinctly as usual:

"Hosea, it's taken care of."

Although he couldn't understand it, Arthur didn't want to let himself be idle now, so he said calmly:

"Let's go, it should be open for trial business today, let's go take a look."
