A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 400
Maria looked quietly at Arthur who pointed the gun at her. In the dim light of the basement, neither of them could see each other's expression clearly.

"If you don't mind, Mr. Morgan, we can change the place where we talk. It's obviously not suitable here, what do you think?"

Arthur raised the kerosene lamp in his hand and said with a smile:

"It's not necessary, let's make a long story short, this place is very suitable."

Maria's behavior at this time is completely different from the way she was in front of Brighton just now.

"Of course, then, what do you want to ask Mr. Morgan? We should have never interacted with each other before? Why are you chasing me here?"

Although what Arthur wanted to ask was actually what he was seeing, but thinking about it carefully, these seemed to have nothing to do with him. No matter what was being done here, or whose industry it was, or who was involved here. , all he should care about is who kidnapped the Dixon brothers and why they did it.

"What's up with these kids?"

"I thought Mr. Morgan would ask something else?" Maria said with a wry smile.

Arthur nodded and admitted generously:

"I think so too, but it seems that I am still somewhat nosy. So, Ms. Maria, please don't ask me to repeat a question a second time. Thank you."

Many times, Arthur always warned himself to believe in the principle that no one will be punished for his own sake, and then it is better not to take care of things that have nothing to do with him. After all, if you do, the final result will be the opposite. It's thankless, but for Arthur, the four words "Thinking through" are also for his own sake. If you have to meddle in this business, just take care of it. If you encounter it, it's just a matter of convenience.

"These children are orphans from the orphanage just like what you saw." Maria said flatly.

"Tell me something I don't know? Orphans need you to be locked in the basement with chains? And I see them looking dull, have you given medicine?"

In response to Arthur's question, Maria simply replied:
"You have to ask the dean here. I just happened to pass by."

"Oh? Is it such a coincidence? Tell me, I happened to pull the trigger and the bullet happened to hit you. Is this the same coincidence as you happening to pass by here?"

The art of threatening is always new, and the methods are always the same. They pay attention to a measure of harming the opponent. For example, now, after the verbal threat, Arthur knocked Maria to the ground with the butt of his gun. .

"Don't try to hide it from me. I know that boy is not your son, so your so-called husband is probably not your husband either. Now tell me what is going on with the orphans in this orphanage, and who do you work for? of."

The force of Arthur's blow was controlled very well. It not only made Maria understand that Arthur would not be merciful to women, but also made her know clearly that Arthur would really hurt her.

"Mr. Morgan, I'm just a little person. I can't explain the things here clearly to you in just a few words. I really don't know much about these orphans. You also know that my identity is just a maid of the Vincent family. I don’t come here often, and all I know is that not all of these children are orphans…”

Child abduction?Why didn't Arthur believe it?
"Who do you serve?" Arthur asked.

"I serve the Beckman family."

Maria answered so happily that Arthur didn't believe her answer was true.

Therefore, Brydon Vincent’s previous theory still makes some sense.

"So, how do you prove it?"

"I can't prove it."

Hehe, a maid from the Vincent family is from the Beckman family, and on the surface, this maid has a husband who is not her husband, a false home, and even came to this house after being fired. According to her own As I said, I don’t come to the orphanage often and I don’t know much about it.

After sorting out this information, Arthur felt more and more that this was really a quagmire that made people confused as to what was going on. "Then what's your purpose of being a maid at Vincent's house?"

Hearing Arthur's question, Maria looked at Arthur as if she were looking at a fool, and then replied with a mocking tone:
"Prying for information? Stealing intelligence? And any other necessary things that a traitor should do??"

"……you."

As he spoke, there was movement from above. Arthur reacted quickly. He knocked Maria unconscious with his backhand, and then extinguished the kerosene lamp in his hand.

Not long after, a man carrying an oil lamp came down from above.

"Maria?"

No one answered him except for the occasional sound of the locked children moving.

He took a few more steps inside, and in an instant, a dagger suddenly stretched out from behind him from the darkness, pressed against his throat, and made a small, not deep scratch.

"Who are you? Where is Maria?"

The person who came to join Maria stood motionless, trying to understand the current situation.

"Okay, don't ask questions, I've wasted enough time here, now let's play a quick question and answer game, you know what it means? I ask questions, you answer, I am not satisfied with the answer, we Just invite the next contestant."

After saying that, Arthur didn't have the patience to wait for this person to speak or think clearly. He asked directly:
"Are you from the Beckman family?"

"..."

"what!"

Arthur stabbed him quickly, then repeated his question.

"Are you from the Beckman family?"

"Yes……"

"You kidnapped the Dickson brothers?"

"..."

"Ah...cough...cough!!"

Facing the connector's silence again, Arthur directly cut his neck open. To be honest, this was not a very easy and smooth thing. Have you ever cut meat with a dull knife?Throat cutting was pretty much the same as this one, and Arthur had to saw it back and forth a few times before he slit his throat completely.

"Huh!" After wiping his face that was spattered with blood, Arthur looked at Maria who was still unconscious, then at the child who was locked in the basement, and finally picked up the coal lamp and walked towards the exit stairs. Go, when he met Carmen who was staying at the door, in addition to the doorman who was knocked unconscious when he entered the door just now, there was an unknown person lying on the ground.

"Boss, the right side of your face was not wiped clean."

"I know." Following Carmen's finger, Arthur wiped away the blood with his sleeve and said:
"Let's go. By this time, Aemon's situation should have been resolved."
