After interviewing Williams, Roman took the last bus ride back to New Haven.

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage is far from safe.

If a man is fine, at most he will lose some money.

But a girl like Roman is very bad.

She is a journalist, she has interviewed a lot, seen a lot of dangers, and knows how to minimize the risks.

Mitigating risk doesn't mean cowardice, it's just that she doesn't want to suffer unnecessary sacrifices.

She wants to dedicate her precious life to the places where it is most worth the risk.

She went back to her room, lit the whale oil lamp, and under the light, began to sort out the materials she had interviewed today.

She originally wanted to streamline the gameplay to a certain extent, but she abandoned the idea after seeing the rules instructions on the Monopoly canvas.

Although there were still a lot of words there, she had to admit it. That's the most concise thing to keep in mind without ambiguity.

The main object of the collation is the interview with Williams.

Roman first pulled out a cotton rope from a pin with the words "Doug Claydon" on the wall and wrapped it around the pin with "Williams" nailed underneath.

The next people to be interviewed are Principal Woolsey of Yale School and workers at the Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory.

For the rest, a list of interviewers is still needed, and it will need to be confirmed in the following interviews.

According to her habit, she will weave a network of relationships around the interviewee.

Interviews are conducted with each character in the character network, so as to arrive at a real and plump image of the interviewed character.

In doing so, not only can many reportable points be discovered.

It also ensures maximum authenticity.

Some people are good writers, but that doesn't mean they're a good father.

Some people are excellent children who respect their parents, but they are not necessarily good husbands.

There is more than one role for any person.

They play different roles when facing different people.

In this world, there is no one person who can play all the roles at the same time.

And those who play very good roles, in fact, there are not many points that can be explored.

The breaking point of the news often appears in those roles that are not played well.

Williams is sincere, but would anyone like to read what he calls Doug's report?

No!

There won't be!

Compared with it, what is more likely to be liked is Doug made up by Roman's brain.

It's just that journalists write non-fiction.

Roman will not violate this principle.

Therefore, she has to work harder to find materials.

Find out what kind of person Doug really is.

For the next three days.

She interviewed Principal Woolsey, the female workers in the printing and dyeing factory, and even the coachman who regarded Doug as the god of "money and transportation" and remembered Doug.

In their mouths, Doug was a keen and studious student, a benevolent boss who treated workers well and used child labor only at the behest of female workers, and a man of great influence who could instantly load the New Haven Road transit system.

Everything was beautiful and all perfect.

However, Roman always felt that something was missing.

Hard work pays off.

Finally, she learned from one of Smith's creditors that Doug's men had killed Smith by mistake and were still locked up in the police station.

"What kind of person do you think Doug Claydon is?"

In the unusually bright cell, Roman asked, holding her notebook.

"Doug Claydon, are you a Daog man?" asked the little shoe-shiner.

If the policeman who delivered food to the little shoe-shiner was not counted as a person, the woman in front of him, who claimed to be a reporter, was the third person he saw when he entered the police station, in addition to Mr. Doug and his mother.

If a person has a normal desire to express himself, he is locked up in a strange place with no one to communicate with for a few days. When you see a new person, you can't help but express your desire.

However, unlike the little shoe-shiner, he does not have much desire to express.

Although he has shined his shoes and delivered newspapers, he used to talk to many people every day.

However, what he said in those times was just a cliché.

"Do you want a newspaper?"

"There's big news today!"

"President Buchanan's visit to Canada! Don't you want to see it?"

……

"Shoe shine! Shoe shine is cheap!"

"It only costs 10 bank bills to shine your shoes once! You can wipe them! 5 bank bills are fine!"

"Look at me wiping it clean!"

……

Despite facing thousands of people every day, Ruck didn't say anything to anyone but Doug.

Except for Master Doug, no one has ever cared about him!

Even his employers!

If the newspaper doesn't sell well, drive him away!

No matter how clean the shoes are, there are still people who want to pay less.

Only Master Doug gave him a lot of money, let him have dreams, let him know that he is a living person, a person who can have pursuits. And not just a newspaper or shoe-shine tool.

In the face of Roman, he is as vigilant as Williams.

But unlike Williams, he was more cautious.

"You want to interview Master Doug, does Master Doug agree?" asked the little shoe-shiner.

Roman quickly got the model of the little shoe-shiner from his mind, and replied, "No." ”

It's not that she won't lie, it's that there is no benefit in lying.

What can be the authenticity of the content of the interview in exchange for lies and deception?

Is she going to be like the people she despises, using the trick of speech to get the interviewee to say something that is not what they want to say at all?

That's amazing, yes.

But is that an interview?

The little shoe-shiner looked at the honest reporter in front of him and shut his mouth and stopped talking.

He has seen too many people draw cakes, and the only person who has ever seen him give him real cakes is only Master Doug.

He would never tell a stranger everything he knew about Master Doug.

If Master Doug is so kind, there must be many enemies and many opponents.

The little shoe-shiner didn't know how Master Doug would fight those opponents, but he didn't want to be a weakness in Lord Doug's struggle.

Roman confronted the little shoe-shiner with a serious face, moved with affection, understood reason, and even promised him an unprecedented appointment that he would be allowed to work at the newspaper office after he went out.

However, no matter what she said, the little shoe-shiner's reply was only one sentence, "You want to interview Master Doug, has Master Doug agreed?"
