13 Smith
"Winston? "Don't question Zach's acting. As for why he acted — in the case that Smith had already referred to James and Wes, who had gone to work as advisers to the Newton Police Department, as Zach's men, let's ask a few questions.
Does the Newton Police, who represent the official, know about Winston?
Did James and Wes, who assisted Newton Police, know about Winston?
Then Why did Zach know about Winston?
The logic is clear enough.
"You should have the impression that he used to be Grande's man. ”
"Ever. Zacdo would get to the point, "Oh, my father's henchmen before he retired?"
"Yes. ”
Zach immediately frowned, for one thing - Winston wasn't the first old Grande man we came into contact with, right, the first was Hardy Sr. at Barton. Do you remember, he became obsessed with the grandson and brother of the Children of the Night (Eli Toredo), killed Bishop's son, and started the road to the collapse of the Bishop family.
So, Zach's role here is very appropriate to put out his worries, "Is this Winston a problem?"
"It's troublesome to see how you define it. "Smith didn't suspect Zach in the slightest," didn't Lydia's club make an agreement with the North Police Department after the unnatural death to provide all the information about the dealings at the club. Looking at Zach, "This Winston is the guy who trades a lot at the club." ”
Now Zach was really surprised. Because of this, James and Weiss should have known about the existence of Winston when they investigated Patton's little white case. But why did these two men not mention Newton's underground drug market at all after going to Newton?
Zach replied to Smith with a surprised expression, "Deal?
"Whatever trades in Barton, he makes them. Smith shook his head, the reason for the lack of emotion, "Valmina, who first entered Barton Market, and 0711 leaked from the shelter some time later. "The eyes are gloomy," said the 'little white' who caused the two unnatural deaths in Lydia's Club. ”
Therefore, Smith is aware of the existence of 'Xiaobai'. But how much he knows, he is not sure. After all, it is a fact that the smuggling gang that was wiped out by the Patton police in the name of smuggling is a gang that sells 'Xiaobai' in Patton. People may not understand the origins of the smuggling case, but Smith knows what is happening on his own turf.
"Do you think that the unnatural death case in Newton has something to do with this 'little white' who originated from Lydia's club. ”
"That's why the North Police Department sent two detectives to Newton as consultants, isn't it? It sounds like Smith is quite sure of his judgment, and we know that he is right, "What's more, I still have in my hands this evidence that Winston has acquired 'Xiaobai' in large quantities." I can say with absolute certainty that it was this Winston who brought to Newton the mass of unnatural deaths that should have been present at Barton. ”
Zach needed to solve the puzzle just now-"The evidence you have, the evidence that Winston bought 'Xiaobai' at Barton, our North District Police Department, don't you know?" Why didn't James and Weiss think about Newton's underground drug market at all.
Smith snorted, mockingly, "The North Police Department doesn't know. ”
It can be confirmed that Smith is secretly doing things even when he has a clear agreement with the police!
Zach was a little helpless, "You deliberately concealed the evidence from the police?"
"Shouldn't it?" said Smith, "if it weren't for the case at the club, my dear sister (Lydia) wouldn't have known she owned the club." God knows how much this club did with Smith's reputation before we knew it was a Smith property. ”
That's why the North District Police and Smith have agreed to cooperate, and Smith is not responsible for any violations that have occurred under the club, but only provides information.
But apparently, Smith kept a hand. He stared at Zach, "I'm sure Wes or James should have told you that we couldn't find the manager in charge of the club, so a lot of the accounts that happened in the club can't be found, right?" ”
Zach nodded.
"I also have evidence that the manager is not missing, but was disposed of by Winston. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, Mr. Smith, how many things are you hiding??
Smith was obviously a little satisfied with Zach's reaction, with a slight smile on his face, "I know that our North District police have been controlling the influence of 'Xiaobai', hmph, it can be seen from the fact that the police refused to share the autopsy reports of the deceased in the two clubs." So when Lydia and I found out that there was a Newton man who had bought 'Xiaobai' in large quantities and transferred the influence of 'Xiaobai' out of Barton and brought it into Newton...... "Look at Zach.
Zach nodded cooperatively, "Just help him." ”
"Yes, Lydia and I have to think about the reputation of the club in the future, and the police investigation of the club can be seen as a way for the Barton police to help us clean up the club's personnel and save us the trouble of purging, but if the club has been stuck in a pending case (which we all know for a long time), it is not good for the club. ”
So we can conclude that Smith deliberately concealed from the North District Police Department that the reason why Winston bought Xiaobai was to wash the club's relationship with 'Xiaobai'.
"By now you should have succeeded. Zach said in a congratulatory tone, "The smuggling gang has been wiped out by the police, and 'Xiaobai' no longer has anything to do with Barton, and the club can start over as Smith's property." ”
"To me, to Lydia, to the Smith family, yes. He looked at Zach sincerely, "But you, I'm sorry. ”
Sorry for the suddenness.
"Why are you sorry?"
"Although I promised that the relationship between the Smith family and Xiaobai no longer exists, it is clear that you are in trouble. He also patted Zach, "The real reason for the unnatural death case is 'Xiaobai', because of the evidence I keep, you were embarrassed by Lance and Wess detectives, from Patton to Newton, to pay for my concealment." ”
'Kidnapping' was said by Zach himself, and Smith was just quoting.
"Ah~" Zach thanked Smith for his sincerity, "Don't worry, we should believe in the ability of the two detectives, and Barton's smuggling case can be closed~" Blink, which means that the origin is the case of the club's unnatural death, and finally the case is closed in a way that has nothing to do with 'Xiaobai' and death, and the ability of the two detectives to handle the case is very 'reliable'~" Newton's case will also have a perfect ending. ”
Smith frowned, glanced out the window, and saw other West End people's vehicles slowly driving by, looking back at Zack, "We ......" This we should refer to West End people, "I am very concerned about Newton's situation now." ”
"Newton flooding?"
Nodding and shaking his head, "The Barton family originally intended to want Newton to be in chaos, but Mrs. Patton decided to annex Newton in a peaceful way despite public opinion, and our strategy was adjusted accordingly. He hesitated, "Do you know Kent Walsh?"
Is Smith talking about Kent Toredo???
"Who? wouldn't it be an employee of the original Grande again?" said it, don't doubt Zack's acting skills.
"No, no, no, it's okay with Grande. Smith quickly denied it, lest Zack misunderstand, "It's just that the headhunters in Newton have some connections." ”
"Headhunters, people who find jobs for others?"
"Yes. Smith nodded, "You know Barton's policy to the citizens of Newton right now, we are constantly challenging the sense of belonging of the citizens of Newton. "Triggering a debate between the cities on both sides about the settlement place, isn't it~" This can't become an empty mouth policy where only Barton jumps up and down, and someone on Newton's side needs to be really attracted by Barton's policy and come to Barton to work and settle down. ”
Zack suddenly said "Oh~" Actually, we know, Zach already knew.
"This Kent Walsh is an important tool for us to carry out this process, and he has been instrumental in bringing a lot of talent from Newton into the Quest business. ”
I have to sigh that Zach is 'loved' by the world. He has always been at the center of all events, whether intentional or not.
Zach had only one question, "Why Quest's business." ”
The answer was succinct, "Because Quest is still on the periphery of our West End people, and it is not for him to do such a dangerous thing as introducing living people into the interior." "How reasonable. Smith waved his hand, his face a little gloomy, "Sure enough, there was a problem." ”
This is supposed to be the murder of Newton at the cannery. It seems that Weiss and James have already taken action (Wes denied James's direct exposure to the Newton Police Department of the Phantom Agency, and used the interests of Barton Enterprises to promote it) -
"Quest's Newton employees are now caught up in Newton's murder investigation, and Kent Walsh, who audited companies and personnel in Newton and sent to Barton, has also completely lost contact, and I seriously suspect that this guy has been involved in the unnatural death of 'Xiaobai' and has been hanged. Smith was sharp enough to look at Zach, "You should understand that even if it was Quest who was at the head of the pack to accept Newton's personnel, you should be able to imagine how much trust we put in this Kent Walsh to let him do this job." ”
Naturally, Zach now wants to protect his descendants, "We should be optimistic. "It means don't assume that Kent Walsh is dead just because you can't accept the slightest bit of disloyalty......
"I hope so. But that's what I'm going to say, Newton is too messy right now!" Smith looked a little irritated, understandably - "If we had started with the goal of messing up Newton and collapsing the regime, it wouldn't matter now." But the problem is the relationship we've already built with Newton, like this Walsh, like the people at Quest. If Newton continues to mess around, it will affect us in the end. ”
"What do you [Westsiders] need?" Zach asked directly.
"Right now, we need Kent Walsh to get back in touch. Smith pursed his lips, "He has a lot of important news in his hands, and even if he dies, he will have to spit out all this stuff related to our Westside plans!" It's not over, "The suspicion of Quest's employees also needs to be cleared as soon as possible." We can't give Newtons the impression that 'no one who has anything to do with Barton is going to end well'. ”
Zach was thinking. Now that he is admitted that he knows many things, it is definitely too late, and it will only ruin the trust between himself and Smith, so Zach is actually thinking about Kent, how to make this descendant stand in the optimistic direction of the West End in a smooth way.
Smith deliberately invited Zach here, and after saying so many things, heh, he had his own ideas, and he spoke, "After everyone's (West Ender) discussion, we believe that only by liberating the Newton police force can we change Newton's current situation." ”
"How?" Zach asked.
"Unnatural deaths have taken over a lot of the Newton Police Department's experience. Hum. "Mockingly," he said, "I can't even protect the projects of my own city government." "I'm talking about the flooding at Newton University, of course. It is also a fact that the pressure of the police force has made Newton Police Department unable to protect the Newton City Government from the outside world as the last trace of face for the project, which is really a bit sad, "If the unnatural death case is over, Newton's law enforcers can have the heart to really maintain the law and order of the city, and the plight of Quest employees can be easily solved......
It's also true that we saw firsthand how cooperative Quest was in front of James. At least with Wes and James, the case has been convicted, and it is very certain that the motive and the perpetrator are from the Newton factory, and have nothing to do with the Newton people in Barton, and the problem now is that the Newton police department has no time to take care of it.
"As for Kent Walsh, if he really died. Smith shook his head, "We also need Newton police to confirm this when the unnatural death case is closed." What this means is that if Kent is confirmed dead, the recovery of sensitive information about the relationship between the two cities will have to be collected by the West End themselves.
For Zach, the Newton police can't confirm Kent's life and death, so Zack still has time to think about ways to get Kent to reappear.
Smith was clearly close to the conclusion, "So. Looking at Zach, "You learned about Newton's unnatural death case with your two detectives, and you say, if we don't really help them, do they have any hope that this case will be closed in a short time?"
The real answer is, yes, as long as no one bothers with the Winston Project.
Zach asked first - "If I say it's hopeless, how do you want to help Newton?"
The real theme of this invitation sums up the conclusion of the whole conversation: "I can give you the evidence of Winston's acquisition and extermination that I keep." You give two detectives, and they give Newton Police Department. Smith's trust in Zach is really speechless, "I believe in you, and now for you, you can get the two detectives (James and Wes) not to pursue Lydia's club again." ”
