Chapter 147: A Roundabout Strategy

"Brother-in-law, since the murderer named Lawson is someone close to Dennis, I think the others should be too, so as long as we look for Bishop Dennis more in the future, we will definitely find out several murderers. ”

Steven suggested.

"You're right, contact the church as soon as possible and see as soon as we can arrange for us to see Dennis again. ”

Alan nodded. Steven's suggestion is very reasonable, from the attitude of the person named Lawson and Bishop Dennis today, it is basically certain that their relationship is very close, if the other four are too, then I believe that as long as there is a chance to see Bishop Dennis again, the others will definitely show up one after another, after all, the biggest duty of the escort group is to protect the safety of the head of the church.

The day after the plan was discussed, Alan and Steven went to the church door with the silver medal given to him by Bishop Dennis and explained their desire to meet Bishop Dennis. But the clergy refused to report their wishes on the grounds that Bishop Dennis was busy with diocesan affairs, and this continued for several days, and finally, Steven understood that this was simply a deliberate attempt by the clergy under Bishop Dennis to make things difficult for them.

"After the Mass two days ago, Bishop Dennis received us and promised that we could come to him at any time if we had any problems, and asked His Excellency the Pastor to ask for instructions on our behalf, for the Bishop would like to see us. ”

Steven had to stuff a bag of gold coins into the clergy, and the clergy who got the gold coins changed their attitude greatly, and instead of repeating the words of the previous two days, they ran back directly to report the news, and soon returned to tell the two people: Bishop Dennis was not there, and he didn't know where he went, but when the bishop returned, he would tell the bishop the bishop about the wishes of the two people who wanted to see the bishop in person, and arrange for them to meet as soon as possible.

Where would Dennis be when he wasn't inside the church?

Alan didn't believe the clergy's words, he felt that Dennis deliberately didn't see him, as for why Bishop Dennis had shown interest in him before, but now suddenly became completely uninterested, Alan had no way to speculate, but could only return disappointed. Now that Bishop Dennis can't see it, it's hard to see the people around him, and the revenge thing is actually stuck here, and it's hard to continue, is it really like what Stany said, just rush in and arrest people?

On the way back to the hotel, Alan thought a little depressed. As soon as they entered the backyard of the hotel, Stanny greeted him when he saw him, handed him a letter, and said:

"Brother Allen, a man named John came to visit you just now, and when he saw that you were not there, he left a letter and left. ”

"John?"

He didn't have any acquaintances in Lua City, Alan frowned. However, he immediately remembered that the day after he first came here, a merchant named John came to him and wanted to buy the leather goods in his hands, but he refused, and he did not expect that he would not give up.

"I don't want to see anyone right now. ”

Alan waved his hand, all his thoughts were now on finding the murderer, but he was not in the mood to negotiate business with a middleman.

"I'll see. ”

Steven took the letter from Stanny's hand for Alan, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, only looked at it twice, then turned his head to look at Allen, and said with bright eyes:

"Brother-in-law, there's a way. ”

As he spoke, Steven handed the letter to Alan.

"Good. Let's meet this Mr. John and see if he can bring us the gospel. ”

Alan took the letter, glanced at it twice, and then his eyes lit up.

"Mr. John, I heard that you know the Hepburn family's agent in Lua City?"

After receiving Stanny's message, John quickly rushed over in a hurry, and Alan didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point.

"Of course. Mistress Taylor and I are old acquaintances. Oh, by the way, Lord Taylor is the Hepburn family's permanent business agent in Lua City, but..."

Seeing that Alan didn't talk about business when they met, but asked directly about the agent of the Hepburn family, John's eyes rolled, and he immediately patted his chest and boasted.

"No, but... If Mr. John can introduce me to the agents of the Hepburn family, oh, by the way, with Lord Taylor, the two wagons of goods in this yard will be all yours. ”

Alan unceremoniously interrupted John and pointed out the outside of the house, where two truckloads of leather goods had been placed.

"Mr. Levins mean to give me these skins for nothing?"

John's eyes were turned outward, barely flying out of his sunken sockets. Two wagons of goods, at the current price, are at least more than two thousand gold coins, and he only needs to run errands to match them to get it, such a cost-effective business is unimaginable.

"Yes. As long as you can arrange for me to meet with Mr. Taylor, it must be as soon as possible. ”

Allen emphasized.

"Of course, of course, but Your Excellency gave me these two wagons of goods, what else are you selling?"

John nodded yes, but his eyes rolled and he asked suspiciously.

"The two truckloads outside are just a small part of the goods I brought this time, and most of them are still outside the city. ”

Alan said with a smile.

"That's fine, I'll get in touch. ”

Tempted by money, John didn't even ask Allen why he was in a hurry to see the agents of the Hepburn family, and turned around and hurried away. Don't say it! The business broker named John was not bragging, and he returned that evening with good news.

"Boss Levins, it's done, I told Master Taylor that you were my friend in the North, and he immediately agreed to see you. ”

John took the credit for it on his own face with a smug face, and the reality was that Taylor nodded his head when he heard that Alan was a fur business owner from the north and that he had more than thirty truckloads of leather goods for sale.

"Boss John has worked hard, when I see Lord Taylor, these two wagons of leather goods will be yours. ”

Alan said happily that since there was no way to directly ask to see Bishop Dennis, he could only adopt this roundabout strategy. Alan knows very well about the strength of the Hepburn family, as long as he can get through Taylor, it should be easy to meet Bishop Dennis, or even directly meet the murderer named Lawson.

The next morning, just after breakfast, John, who was anxious to cash in on his payment, ran over and dragged Alan to see Taylor.

Taylor lives in one of the most luxurious free-standing courtyards in the affluent neighborhood north of the city, which is not only built into a three-story circular building, but also has two courtyards in front and back, which are spacious and beautifully furnished.

Alan and John, led by their servants, followed a bluestone path through the front yard with pools, fountains, statues, and flower beds, and went straight to the backyard where they met Taylor, who was pruning a flower tree in his garden, looking very laid-back. It was only when the servant told him that the guests were coming that he put down his scissors, wiped his hands with a towel, and invited the three of them to sit down at a round table under a vine in the garden.
