"Commissioner Marshall wanted to entrust me to send the information he had to King's Landing. However, considering the weight of the information, I refused."
The “weight” that Henderson refers to naturally does not refer to the weight of the data itself, but to the heavy meaning and value these data carry.
Wei Yin probably knew what the information was and had no reaction to it, while Leon looked confused.
Huh? What happened? Why did the problem suddenly become so serious?
Isn't it just that the Director of the Solemnity Bureau has a private deal with "Giant Industries"? This is just a matter of Caspers, how come it seems that the whole continent will be affected by this?
Henderson coughed: "I am just a middleman. If I am found to be involved in this incident, any one of the parties can kill me like a bug, so you can understand my choice.
Just keep yourself safe, okay? Not betraying Commissioner Marshall to others is the kindest choice I can make."
Vin picked up the glass and took a sip: "However, Commissioner Marshall is still dead... Oh, I'm not doubting you."
"Well, I can't figure out what's going on..." Henderson smiled, "Judging from the information he showed me, it's possible that the investigation he did in private was discovered by the director, and then
The director silenced him. However, now that the director is dead, the whole matter becomes even more confusing."
"Looking at it this way, you seem to be just an unimportant passerby here." Wein shook the cup, "Can you reveal some more useful information to make me think you are not so useless?"
Leon: "..."
This guy's mouth is hopeless.
The stand-in standing aside also showed an expression of surprise and fear. In his impression, what Henderson hated most was someone calling him "useless". This was the biggest insult to an intermediary.
There are always some people who rely on middlemen to get on the line and feel that there is no need to pay attention to the middlemen anymore. They even think that the middlemen are a "useless" link and plan to put them aside. Naturally, the middlemen cannot allow such behavior.
Once it is discovered that the two parties to the transaction are moving away from the middleman, the middleman will issue a warning. If the warning is ignored, the middleman will retaliate.
Perhaps for ordinary people, organizations with violent methods such as the city police or gangs are the most awe-inspiring, while middlemen who talk business with people in a friendly manner are quite easy to talk to. However, veterans who have been around the dark side for a long time will tell them
, it is better to offend the boss of the gang than the middleman. Because the influence of the middleman is all over the underworld and the white street, when they start to consider using violent means, the target will have to bear the joint blow from many parties.
However, in response to such offensive words, Henderson laughed and said: "Mr. Noyes, you really flatter me. I am probably just a useless passerby in this incident."
substitute:"……"
Damn it, is this kind old man really his boss?
"But..." Henderson paused, "There are some points that I think may be relevant, and may be of some value to you."
Wei Yin waved his hand: "Go ahead."
"You know, the land prices in the Shield District are cheap, and big companies like to rent land here and build factories and warehouses. In order to reduce unnecessary losses, they will also cooperate with local gangs and pay 'protection fees.'
The gangsters pretended to be patrolling the company's property."
Although the company's security force can crush most gangs, it is easy to hide from open guns and difficult to prevent hidden arrows. Who knows whether these gangs will do some tricks in private and bring financial losses to the company? Therefore, the company has always pursued the "spend money" policy.
The concept of "money can eliminate disaster".
"However, recently I have discovered that the Blood Howler Gang has gotten too close to Titan Industries." Henderson continued, "More than once, someone has witnessed members of the Blood Howler Gang entering the company's warehouse under the cover of darkness.
You know, even though the company pays gangsters not to harass them, it is not so generous as to let these unscrupulous gangsters roam around on its own property."
"And among the information that Commissioner Marshall showed me, there is also evidence of private transactions between the Director of the Solemnity Bureau and Titan Industries, so I wonder if there is some connection since both Titan Industries are involved..."
Wein touched his chin: "'Colossus Industry'... the Blood Howler Gang... Speaking of which, the Blood Howler Gang's smuggling line is still in operation, right?"
Henderson was stunned and replied: "Of course, this is one of the biggest businesses of the Blood Howler Gang."
Smuggling line? Leon cast a doubtful look at Wein.
Wein said: "Generally speaking, intercity transportation relies on land cruisers with large carrying capacity and safety. But there are always some desperate people who dare to drive light vehicles relying on natural disaster warning maps and their familiarity with the wilderness.
The vehicles hit the road and shuttle between cities. These routes created by desperate gangsters are usually used to smuggle items that are prohibited on land speeders, so these routes are also called 'smuggling routes'."
"There are very few organizations that dare to set up smuggling lines. Not to mention that such activities are strictly prohibited by the government. If you are caught, you will have to be imprisoned for at least 10 years. Moreover, the steep terrain and bad weather in the wilderness are also full of dangers. And there are very few organizations that dare to set up smuggling lines.
Among the organizations on the front line, the Blood Howler Gang, a super-large gangster spread throughout the United Empire, is one of them."
