0251 Reasons for betrayal

"Tell me about it."

Bustling with a dozen people sitting in a large, bright room, Lorraine pointed to the only stranger to Bell and whispered.

"Bart, who doesn't seem to have a last name or name, is New Orleans' top intelligence dealer and owner of the old tavern. By the way, his daughter is Katarina's goddaughter, so when my life is not in danger, I used to treat him as one of my own. ”

Bell pursed his lips and raised his hand to point at Emmons angrily.

"Chris. Emmons, a Welshman, lieutenant colonel staff officer of the continental detachment, an old acquaintance of mine. He's a bad gambler with no discipline, and I don't think of him as my own, no matter what time it is. ”

"Bad gambler?" Lorraine raised an eyebrow.

Emmons straightened his shirt and walked towards Lorraine.

"Luo ...... Edward. Mr. Kenway, it's a pleasure to meet you. Because it is a rare first impression, I hope to have the opportunity to prove my innocence. ”

Lorraine laughed noncommittally: "Please speak." This is not a plantation, and no one deprives you of the right to speak. ”

"Thank you very much." Emmons said in a deep voice, serious, "I'm not technically a gambler. Gamblers are sensual, and are accustomed to entrusting their victories and losses to God, praying for a gift called luck. I'm rational, and I just want to prove that analysis can replace luck, but so far I haven't been able to find a suitable formula, so I have spent a lot of money on experiments. ”

No one could have imagined that Emmons' so-called self-proof innocence was actually to refute Bell's evaluation of him, and for a while, he ...... Silent.

Lorraine coughed twice in embarrassment: "Daniel, don't you think this gentleman is a bit like you?" ”

Daniel was cold: "I don't think so." I'll only do it when the success rate is 100 percent, and I'll only do it in the lab before that. ”

"He probably used the casino as a laboratory......"

"Then he's a fool. The laboratory needs to be controllable, and the casino is too uncontrollable, is practiced. ”

The topic is completely deviated from the Qing Dynasty......

Lorraine interrupted in embarrassment and beckoned to take a stack of papers from Bart.

"Bell, do you know where you are?"

"I think it's a tomb, but the gambler doesn't approve of it."

"He's right." Lorraine flipped through the papers and said nonchalantly, "This is Goodaril. The basement of a French-inspired ready-to-wear shop. Its owner met here with anti-Spanish liberals, and was betrayed by trusted companions to become a victim of New Orleans' new history. ”

Bell frowned, "Kenway, I don't like your insinuating way of speaking very much. Let's tell you the truth, you have taken what I have on me, and you should know that I did not betray you. ”

"I don't know." Lorraine didn't raise his head, "I've looked at these things three times, and I still can't tell if they're real or fake." A high-powered lieutenant colonel staff officer and a set of indistinguishable intelligence are far from enough to prove your innocence. ”

"Then go check!"

"It's my business. And I'm wondering more now when Shaq established a stronghold in New Orleans, and why you're in contact with that stronghold. ”

"Contact?" Bell's face was confused.

"Stronghold?" Emmons looked confused.

So Lorraine determined that [Barrambas's Daydream] was indeed the intelligence base of the Royal Navy in New Orleans.

Probably seeing it in Lorraine's eyes, or seeing the exaggerated acting skills in the eyes of the other party, Bell quickly realized that he had confessed partially.

Fortunately, this part was destined to be impossible to hide......

He rolled his eyes and sat down on the floor: "Let's discuss the issue calmly, and as a matter of sincerity, please let the information dealer who wants to know everything get out first." ”

Bart's old face flushed, because Lorraine was seriously considering Bell's proposal.

Considered results...... fresh

"Bart, we're going to talk about something that you can't know, you know, you can't be trusted."

What a tenderness that even God would touch!

Bart gratefully rolls out of the room, and Henna keeps watching him roll out of the basement before squeaking and shutting him out completely.

"Well, the environment for the conversation is established. It's time for you and Mr. Emmons to tell some separate stories. ”

As Lorraine said this, Karen, Wang, and Acharin pulled Emmons up and took him back to the cell where he and Bell had been held, and closed the door to separate the inside and outside.

Bell didn't show any surprise, only calmly cleared his throat: "Lorraine, do you think I might betray you?" ”

"Lots of reasons."

"Uh...... Our friendship is almost as long as we are age! ”

"One more reason."

Bell choked half to death.

"Hell, for Assasin's sake of not wiping my neck in the alley...... On the first round of smuggling back, I met my old friend in the third formation. ”

"The old crew of the Wanderer is Shaq. Drake's most trusted officer group, and it's very united. I knew what happened to me would cause resentment among old friends, because, you know, selling a few guns isn't a big deal. ”

"So I took the initiative to get in touch with him and buy some information from him. He was reluctant to betray Shaq, but for the sake of his past feelings, he agreed to contact us for the most disloyal and eternally short of money...... It's this Lieutenant Colonel Emmons. ”

"As you can imagine, that bar does have a connection to the Navy, but it is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but more like you and the Mr. Intelligence Dealer just now, limited trust, a useful base, a long-term financial exchange, and a good reputation."

"An old friend from Formation 3 gave me the opening code for that bar, and told me to wait there for Emmons. Yesterday was our first meeting, I opened the required catalogue and he gave the price, today is the second meeting, for the transaction. ”

A very complete story, with antecedents, consequences, experiences, turns, and the motivations of the characters involved, there is no fault in it, and it is full of points that can be compared.

According to Bell, he really didn't betray anyone, and if the intelligence was true, he even contributed.

Lorraine turned her head and glanced at Carmen inadvertently.

Carmen, the recorder of the conversation, nodded her head to indicate that she had written it all down.

Lorraine sighed: "What is the price offered by Emmons?" ”

"Two hundred pounds."

"How do I check out?"

"I need time to verify the information, so the goods before the money, and the money will be given to him at the next meeting."

"When is the next time we'll meet?"

"Two rounds of smuggling, I made an appointment with him for a month, that is, on the night of August 28."

Lorraine closed her eyes and thought for a moment: "What if you happened to be at sea that day or if he couldn't come for some reason?" ”

"He has the right to postpone, I have the right to advance. The change needs to be made a week in advance and wait for a response. ”

"You've made a good agreement."

Bell sighed with a headache: "After talking for three hours, Emmons claimed to be exhaustive, and he was disgusting in detail. ”

"Understood." Lorraine stood up, "You have a good rest here, and I will check everything, including whether I chop you into pieces and throw you into the sea." ”

"Go, go, just captain." Bell lazily waved his hand, "Can I ask for wine and a private room during my detention?" I'm going crazy to live with Emmons. ”
