A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 69 Detective Pinkerton is coming?
Malloy placed a cup of coffee in front of Arthur and said with a smile:

"Have a taste. These are the beans I bought from St. Denis. They are much better than the rubbish sold by Jacob. They are produced in serious South African plantations. Hurry up and try them."

Arthur was sitting half-assed on the chair, already thinking about various situations he might face next.

Now that Malloy has been in contact with Pinkerton, what will he choose?Will he still stand on his side?

Arthur was a little nervous to be honest.

"Don't be so nervous, remember? We have a tacit understanding. Besides, aren't you still sitting here and drinking my best coffee? It's okay. You can relax a little." Marlowe As Yi said this, he came to his desk, took out the top sheet of wanted posters that had been kept in the locked drawer, and gently placed them in front of Arthur.

The movement made Arthur relax.

"Hey, this painting doesn't look like me?" Arthur said with a smile. When he saw that the wanted poster in front of him was taken out of the locked drawer, Arthur knew that Malloy still chose Stand on your own side.

"Is the focus on the painting above? Look at the bounty below. I haven't seen such a large bounty in a long time. Do you know Billy the Kid? He is a well-known legend. I don't remember it in the past. How long has it been? I was still young at that time. Anyway, I remember it very clearly. His bounty at that time was only 5000 US dollars." Malloy said with a sigh of relief.

Arthur glanced at the amount and realized that he was not as tall as Billy the Kid.

"Okay, since you have decided not to take me to receive the reward, then quickly tell me what is going on with these two Pinkerton detectives." Arthur said while Malloy With a gesture, he picked up the coffee in front of him and tasted it.

It seems that apart from the fact that it tastes more fragrant and is not as bitter as the coffee I often drink, there is nothing unique about it.

Watching Arthur just take a sip and then put the cup down.

Malloy stopped talking and said:
"I don't know where they heard it from. They told me that there was news that the Van der Linde gang was entrenched in the town of Valentine, and they came to inquire about the information. But don't worry, I denied them According to this statement, Valentine does not have any Vanderlinde gang, and what is more regrettable is that I don’t think that Agent Milton believed my statement. I can only say that fortunately, he has not taken care of me yet. right."

"So they left like this?" Arthur asked in disbelief.

"Hey, how is that possible? Didn't I tell you, I felt that the old agent didn't believe me. After they left, I asked Cole to follow them. Guess where they went?"

"The coachman?"

"Huh? You can guess this. You are so powerful. You are really worthy of your reward. That's right, they got into the coachman's carriage. As for where they went, Cole lost them in the end anyway, so you Don’t ask me either.”

Malloy's guess was that Cole should have been discovered by them and deliberately thrown away, otherwise how could he lose a carriage while riding a horse, but he didn't care.

There is no reason why everything goes smoothly.

Arthur was rolling his eyes after hearing this, when he heard the door outside the house being slammed.

Malloy stopped Arthur, who stood up from his position instantly and pulled out the gun. He told Arthur not to act rashly.

The two of them just stood there quietly looking at the door and waited for a while.

I heard the person knocking on the door while continuing to knock on the door and shouting loudly:

"Sheriff! Sheriff! Are you in there? I want to report that my carriage has been robbed."

Malloy looked back at Arthur at this time. After seeing that he had put away the gun and sat down again, Malloy went to open the door. "Ah, Sheriff! You have to make the decision for me." The man wailed loudly as soon as he came in.

But don't tell me, he looks really miserable now. Not only is he covered in mud, but his coat is also missing, leaving only a patched shirt still on him.

Arthur recognized the man in front of him at a glance. He was the coachman he hired that day.

At this time, the coachman also saw Arthur sitting in the room. Don't tell me that this man has quite professional ethics. After seeing Arthur, he immediately stopped wailing, and then looked at him with an apologetic expression. Arthur apologized and said:

"Isn't this Mr. Callahan! I'm so sorry. Look, this happened to me and it delayed your schedule. I don't know why I was so unlucky that I ended up dragging two robbers along with me."

Arthur just replied that he didn't care, and Malloy then asked:

"What did these two 'robbers' do to you?"

"Chief, you don't know. Originally, I thought this was just an ordinary business, and I didn't think much about it. But when I pulled these two people to the place, they insisted on saying that they were agents, and then asked I cooperated with their work. I thought, if you cooperate, you should cooperate. I haven't done anything illegal, right? Who knows? They asked me a few names, and I said I haven't heard of them. There was one. Arthur Morgan's name, I said, what a coincidence, I have a guest tomorrow also named Arthur..."

The coachman became more and more sad as he talked, and finally burst into tears.

"These two people are not agents at all. They took away my clothes and my carriage, and finally left me in the wilderness..."

Malloy and Arthur looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that these two people were the Pinkerton detectives that Cole had lost.

Finally, it was Arthur who told the coachman to go to the Saint's Inn. His carriage was parked at the door and had not been lost. This made him stop crying.

The coachman thanked Arthur profusely, and finally wanted to come up and hug Arthur. Of course, Arthur refused decisively. Who knows what other things were mixed in the mud on his body besides mud.

After the coachman left, Arthur said to Malloy seriously:
"I just happened to encounter a strange thing today."

"Tell me about it?" Malloy lit a cigarette for himself and said while smoking.

"The coachman who was supposed to come to pick me up today, well, you saw, I just saw him here now. But another man came to pick me up in his carriage and called me 'Mr. Morgan'." Arthur said while looking at Malloy.

It's not that he suspected that Malloy had anything to do with it, Arthur just wanted to hear Malloy's opinion.

Malloy looked at Arthur with a puzzled face and said:

"Is there anything else to think about? You just heard it, the Pinkerton people did it."

"So why bother? If they suspected that Arthur Callahan was me, they could just find someone to ambush me. Not only did that fake coachman not even bring a gun, but I looked at him like that, maybe Don’t you even know what you’re doing?” Arthur stated all his doubts.

Malloy also started thinking after hearing this. Things seemed a bit strange. After thinking for a while, he put forward his opinion again:
"Perhaps, they want to have a talk with you, a peaceful one?"

Arthur nodded, he had also thought about the possibility Malloy mentioned.

At first, Arthur didn't think it was Pinkerton. He just thought that someone was jealous of his casino business and wanted to talk to him.
