Red Dead Redemption Dawn Chapter 56

John asked someone to burn a pot of hot tea. Tea is considered a luxury here. This packet of tea was sent by Steve.

The two of them came to the balcony outside the small living room of the bedroom. The balcony was very large and there were tables, chairs, and sunshade fans.

After sitting down, John habitually opened a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Kane.

"How is the dock area these days?" John asked casually after lighting a cigarette.

"It's alright, it's nothing major, I've solved a few simple cases in the past few days." Kane lit a cigarette and took a sip and said.

"Dorom is not bad. Although the method is relatively straightforward, he is quite smart. I handed him a case today, and he reported that the progress was good."

Kane glanced at John, and then said, "John, I think Billy seems to be pretty good, too. Isn't it a waste to stay at the manor to do these repairs?"

"He? Do you want to take him?" John looked at Kane and said after hearing this.

"No, it's just that I think it's good to have him follow Dorom. It's good to have a group of two. It's much more efficient to do things." Kane gave his suggestion.

"Well, it makes sense, but let Dorom get acquainted first. I will talk about it at the beginning of next month. During this time, you should allocate a lot of Rom to do." John originally planned to recruit Billy, but It is better to let the eldest of the three, Dorom familiar with Kane and Lambert's orders, and let him in, so that something can be avoided.

"Okay, by the way, you said that I asked someone to open the account, and five hundred US dollars was transferred in that day. Is this the protection fee?" Kane took out the passbook and asked.

"So, five hundred? It's alright, enough for the manor's expenses, right." John nodded and took out a photo from his space backpack and asked Kane.

"Who is checking the contraband on the dock ships?"

"Lambert will take Dorom to check in the morning, what is this?" Kane asked as he picked up the photo.

"The merchant ship of the Morrie family, take the photo and tell Lambert. If there is nothing particularly serious on his ship, it's fine that you haven't seen it."

"I'll go back and explain to Lambert." Kane put away the photo and nodded.

"That, John." Kane hesitated.

"What's the matter? Just say it straight, you don't look right." John looked a little strange at Kane.

"It's like this, after Hart came. Lambert's wife, Eva, was free, and I wanted to give her the manor's wages and the purchase of supplies."

"If you think it's okay, then it's okay. You are hesitant about such trivial matters. Just tell me after the event. It's just that you have this passbook, and all aspects of the case, such as funding, will be deducted from this." John preached to Kane After a pass, he pushed the passbook on the counter to Kane.

"If it's not enough, tell me." John added at the end, and then picked up which pot of tea to give each of them a cup.

"Enough is enough, I don't want that much. I'm opening an account and transfer some of the money from this to Mrs. Eva every month. But Lambert doesn't agree with this matter." Kane was also polite. Take the passbook.

"Why did he refuse? There is a salary." John was very surprised, why Lambert did not agree, anyway, his wife came here to help all the time, so why not get an extra salary.

"I don't know, I just don't agree. Would you like to talk to him?" Kane took a sip of the cup of tea, and then showed a strange expression.

"The smell of this leaf is really weird." Kane commented.

"I'll get used to it after drinking too much. I'll report back to the General Administration tomorrow. I'll talk to him then." John nodded.

"Did you find anything in Blackwater Town these days?" John asked.

"At one point, we have a black market in the quayside with everything in it," Kane said.

"That's it?"

"It seems to have something to do with several families and councillors in Blackwater Town. Moreover, I found out that one of the councilors in Blackwater Town and Mr. Edwin were very close." Kane also knew about John and Mr. Edwin these days. their relationship.

"Tsk tsk, amazing." John looked up and down at Kane and said.

"Haha, it's generally amazing."

"But don't check that place, it's not good to be targeted."

"Yes." Kane nodded.

"Kane, do you have a woman you like?" John asked suddenly.

"Me? I had it when I was young. It's been many years. She passed by the Shilan trading station with her family. I don't even remember her appearance. I only remember that she was very beautiful." Kane nodded to himself. A cigarette and then a flashback.

"Kane, how old are you?"

"28, what's the problem?" Kane wondered.

"It's time to start a family." John sounded like an old father expecting his son to start a family and start a family.

"What do you mean? You don't have one yourself and I'm very young. Don't look very old." Kane complained while looking at John.

The two drank tea and chatted late into the night.

The next morning, the four of them went to Heishui Town after eating at 7:30.

"Dorom, are you still used to it? How does it feel?" John looked at Dorom and asked.

"Excellent, I've been looking forward to a suitable job for the past two years. Thank you, Mr. John." Dorom nodded and expressed his thanks again.

"Just call me John in the future. If I don't have any questions, just ask Kane."

"Well, I will." Dorom nodded.

The group of four came to the dock branch first. After handing over the matter, John rushed to the general bureau to report to Director Leiter. In fact, John didn't need to go, because the original three detectives must have made a report, and John just went to tell Leiter that he was back.

He went all the way to Leiter's office, knocked on the door, and entered the room directly.

"Director, I'm back."

"John, well done." Leiter was very happy to see himself.

Then Leiter said some words of praise and encouragement. John said it after listening carefully to make sure there was nothing else.

"The director, if I have nothing to do, I'll go back first."

"It's alright, let's go." Lett waved his hand.

Just as John walked out of the gate of the police station, he met an acquaintance standing across the street. John recognized him at a glance, and his standing and dress were still very eye-catching in this street.

At first glance, you can tell that he is an English gentleman, not because of his expensive clothes, but because of his temperament from the inside out.

"Danny?" John asked while watching Mr. Edwin's housekeeper, Danny, walking towards him.

"Mr. Wake, it's great to meet you here." Danny said happily, but John noticed that Danny must have been standing here for a while. Because he saw that the driver beside the carriage was a little bored, this is not how he just arrived here.

"I'm also very happy to meet you. Is there anything you want to come here to find me this time?" John looked at Danny and asked.

"Mr. Wick, would you mind having a cup of coffee?" Danny asked mildly. .

"Of course, I was thinking of going there." John nodded.

The two came to a coffee shop in the central district of the city.

"So, Danny, is there anything you need me to help with this time?" John asked after sitting down.

"Yes, I'm sorry Mr. Wick, but I can only take the liberty to disturb you." Danny nodded, indicating that there was something wrong.

"Then what is it, tell me the details." John took a sip of his coffee and said.

"I have a friend named William, a classmate of mine who graduated from the British Butler College. He has followed his master for more than 20 years, but in the last year or so his master went bankrupt, so he fired him. Mr. has recently taken over a lot of business and needs a suitable person to take care of it. So I invited him to come here to work for Mr. Edwin, but according to the agreement, he should have arrived at Blackwater Town Station yesterday, but until today I have again Waited for him at the station all day and didn't see him get off. There was no letter, so I'm worried if he was kidnapped or something."

Danny took a sip of coffee and continued to tell what happened.

"So I found someone to look for him, but I only found out that after he bought a train ticket to Roots in Saint Denis, there was no news."

"I asked Mr. Steve, but he didn't have much news in Roots, and Mr. Steve's manpower is not enough recently. But he suggested me to come to Mr. Wick, and he said that your identity can be Find my old friend who disappeared as soon as Roots." Butler Danny said slowly.

"Mr. Wake, are you willing to help my old friend who is unemployed?" Danny asked.

"Is that so, Roots Town?" John thought for a while and recalled after hearing it. He remembered that Roots was a town controlled by two big families. If someone got off the car and disappeared in Roots, then these two big families must be clear.

"Mr. Wake, I have some savings, and I will pay for this trip. Although he is younger than me, I am still very worried about him." Danny seemed to be really worried about his friend.

"You misunderstood, I just remembered some things, please give me the information, preferably with photos, I will take the boat to Roots at noon today. As for the reward, you are too polite, it is rare for you to come to me for help, I actually think we're friends." John said with a smile, because he didn't think there was any harm in having an English housekeeper, and this kind of friendship was very rare in John's view.

"Thank you very much, Mr. John. If Mr. John needs to ask me for help, I will define it within my ability." Danny stood up and bowed to John .

"Then I'll go back to the police station for deployment now. Just send the information to the police station." John nodded.

"Actually, I have already brought the information, it's on the carriage, I can give it to you now." Danny said.

"Ah, that's great, you can bring it here, then I'll go back to the police station directly, and I'll set off after the deployment." John nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. John, please wait a moment." After Danny finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage by the roadside.

After a while, Danny came over with the documents.

"Don't worry, no accident, I will be able to bring your old friend back tomorrow." John said after taking the materials.

"Thank you, Mr. John. Then I'll go back first." Danny took off his hat and leaned forward fifteen degrees and bowed.

"Goodbye." John nodded.

Then Danny got into his carriage and left.

John took the document and looked at it at random. The document should have been written just today. The handwriting is very neat and beautiful, and it is very detailed. There is also a black-and-white photo of two men shaking hands and smiling at each other. The one on the left is Danny, and the one on the right is a younger, middle-aged man. He is not particularly handsome, but he is upright and standard. He looks very comfortable, slightly taller than Danny, and dressed as a gentleman.

After looking at it for a while and commenting, John got on his horse and headed towards the dock police station.

He needs to tell Kane that he wants to go out and let him handle the affairs of this district.

Then take the boat to Roots, because the train will not arrive until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the boat is always available, and Roots is opposite to Blackwater Town, so you can get there very quickly by boat.
