A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 328 Investigation Bureau
Although the powder keg in Saint-Denis is about to explode, Arthur is still staying in Rhodes Town. He is not in a hurry to return to Saint-Denis. He is waiting for news.

After Valentine left, Arthur actually regained contact with Hosea through telegrams.

Arthur knew what was happening in Saint Denis.

Generally speaking, Ryan's performance disappointed him, really disappointed, not that he was disappointed with his huge appetite and insatiable ambition, but that he was so crude and lacked long-term considerations in his actions. disappointment.

Arthur dare not say that he knows [-]% about what kind of person Zheng Shixiong is, but he has dealt with him before. In this situation, Arthur can guarantee that Ryan will suffer a big loss soon.

But it's okay, if you don't polish it, it won't make it. It doesn't hurt to experience some setbacks. Only ambition is not enough. Luck, strength and experience are all important.

It is certain that Ryan is lucky, otherwise he would not have survived the bomb attack by that man before. As for his strength and experience, it depends on how far he can go.

You know, dirty jade is not as good as stone, and broken jade is even worse. Arthur is still very curious about what Ryan can achieve in the end.

"Arthur, I brought you today's newspaper."

Looking at Linda who obediently went to buy a newspaper for him, Arthur took the newspaper and nodded and said:
"Thanks for your hard work."

"award."

"what would you like?"

"Tell me about you and the woman named Mary Linton."

"..." Arthur stopped flipping the newspaper in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Linda with a scrutinizing gaze.

Regarding Arthur's performance, Linda pouted unconsciously. How did she know about Mary?

All I can say is that you should never underestimate a woman’s desire for gossip and their ability to gather information.

"Is this a question that can't be asked?" Linda asked carefully.

Arthur finally put down the newspaper, took out his cigarette case, and after holding a cigarette in his mouth, he said calmly:
"Some stories are not suitable to be told to others."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to bring this up."

After all, he is already a 37-year-old middle-aged man. Arthur did not care about this with the little girl in front of him. After lighting the cigarette, he just smiled helplessly:
"I forgive you."

After confirming that Arthur was not really angry because he mentioned Mary, Linda rarely said seriously:
"Arthur, as long as you can survive the bitterness of the past, one day you will be able to tell me about it and regard them as experiences that can be laughed at. If everyone lives old enough, or has many If you love several people, you will have a lot of jokes like this."

For a moment, Arthur didn't quite understand whether Linda was comforting him or trying to express something, but it still sounded reasonable. He smiled and joked:
"So are you implying that I'm too old?"

"No!"

Seeing Linda's confident answer, Arthur shook his head with a smile, then picked up the newspaper he had just put down and started reading.This is the latest issue of the "Lemoyne Canton Daily". It didn't take much effort for Arthur to find what he wanted to read on the side page:

"Huge amount of corruption, shocking figures"

"The amount involved is as high as US$9400 million."

Look at the title here. Since Arthur didn't ask them to release all the information, all the following content did not specifically point to where the corruption occurred, nor did it mention the name of the person. The full text was just a simple description. One thing is that there is a corruption scandal of up to 9400 million US dollars.

But for some "insiders", they can know what the newspaper is referring to as soon as they see the corruption figure, and Arthur wants this effect.

No, even though Mrs. Joseph was in New York, he still saw this 'unknown' newspaper on his desk in the shortest possible time.

"Bad news, Joseph, Bronte's thunder finally exploded, but I have good news to tell you."

Hearing Jacob, who had sent him the newspaper, speak to him in such a joking tone and call him 'Joseph', he was not angry. Instead, he asked directly:
"Come on, what's the good news?"

"The good news is that this mine has only ignited a fuse, and it hasn't exploded yet, and look at what newspaper this is."

Joseph listened to Jacob's words and turned the newspaper to the front. He saw "Lemoyne State Journal" written on the top. He frowned and asked:
"I saw it, and then what?"

"This is Arthur Morgan's newspaper."

"..."

Jacob did not notice Joseph's ugly face and continued:

"This is good news, isn't it? Arthur Morgan, if I remember correctly, he is our man? And I have confirmed that there is no other media reporting this news except the Lemoyne State Journal , that is to say, no matter how Arthur Morgan got this thing, it is only in his hands now."

The more Joseph listened, the uglier his face became. Can this be considered good news?
Shit!

Joseph could now imagine Arthur sitting in front of him, holding a newspaper with a wicked smile on his face, and then calling him 'Joseph' in a mocking tone.

"Joseph? What's wrong? You look ugly."

"..." Trying not to vent his anger on his old friend, Joseph said:
"Don't be too optimistic, Jacob, if Arthur Morgan really has the consciousness of being one of us, why do you think you can still see this report in the newspaper, he is telling us that the The thing is in his hands, and now he is the one who decides whether to explode or not!"

"I thought we held him firmly? Every month, he delivered the money in full and on time." Jacob said puzzled.

He didn't understand why Joseph's attitude towards Arthur Morgan had changed so drastically after returning from a trip to the west. You know, he was the one who strongly supported the idea of ​​training Arthur Morgan to be theirs. white gloved.

Joseph really knew that he was suffering. He couldn't tell Jacob now that Arthur had actually rebelled long ago, and even sat on his head to shit and urinate. He could only change the topic:
"No matter what happened before, it was all before. Jacob, regarding the establishment of the Investigation Bureau, I was originally planning to split the Pinkerton Western Branch directly, but as you know, I encountered some Unexpectedly, Webster died, and the Western Division suffered great losses..."
