Blind trick? Leon was a little confused about this, but Henderson on the opposite side was silent for a few seconds, and then he heard a chuckle.
Wait, this chuckle seems not to come from the middle-aged man sitting there, but from... the old housekeeper standing aside?
Under Leon's surprised gaze, "Henderson" stood up from the table and stood aside respectfully, while the butler sat in "Henderson's" seat.
So...this old butler is the real Henderson?
Henderson, the middleman of the Caspars Shield District, is actually an islander. This thing is quite beyond Leon's expectation, but as a result, there are so many islander waiters in the Hound Bar, even the bodyguards at the door of the box.
The fact that he is an islander makes sense.
"I didn't expect that I couldn't hide it from you, Mr. Noyes." The real Henderson smiled.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Although I also want to tell you from the perspective of reasoning how to deduce that you are the real Henderson..." Wein frowned, "Not to mention who helped you twenty years ago.
Having established a foothold in the dark side world of Caspars, you don’t think I can really turn an ancestor into an islander, do you?”
"Ancestors" is the name of the original inhabitants of the mainland. It began to be widely circulated after the discovery of the islanders. The formal and complete name should be "descendants of the ancestors".
"Well, I remember that I clearly..."
"Yes, you put white powder on your face every day and put a wig on your head. You don't think that these tricks can eliminate the differences between the ancestors and the islanders, do you?"
"I also know that these methods are unreliable, so haven't I been using substitutes all these years..." Henderson's expression showed helplessness, and then this helplessness melted into a decent smile, "But I didn't expect that
For a little person like me, Mr. Noyes, it's a great honor for you to still remember me."
"If being remembered by me can be considered an 'extreme honor', then there are too many honorable things in this world." Wein waved his hand, "I originally thought that pretending to be an ancestor was just a way for you to gain a foothold in Caspars.
It’s a temporary policy, but I didn’t expect that after so many years, the mask of ‘Ancestors’ has been sewn onto the mask of ‘Henderson’ by you.”
"Because this is the land of the ancestors. If you want to be a middleman in Caspars and gain a foothold in the shield area, you must also be an ancestor." Henderson crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him, "The people here can accept it.
An ancestor who likes to use islanders as intermediaries, but will not accept that one islander has a large part of Casper's intelligence network."
"Ha, racial discrimination, it's a classic." Wein leaned back, "Well, at least you don't have to worry about being taken away with a rope while walking on the street."
"That's what my compatriots have experienced in other areas." Henderson sighed, "I don't have any special abilities. All I can do is provide a job for my compatriots wherever I can.
Just provide a place to live and slightly improve their lives."
Leon was somewhat sympathetic to the islanders' plight. After all, China was once a semi-colonial country in its previous life and was oppressed by foreign invaders. The triangular trade in the Atlantic Ocean was also heard of. Moreover, the islanders in this world have not developed to the level of
Even to the point of being "politically correct", we are still a group of victims oppressed by our ancestors.
Seeing that the topic was developing in a serious direction, Wein snapped his fingers to stop the momentum: "Then let's get straight to the point. You must have heard about the turmoil that has occurred in Suzheng Bureau in the past few days."
Henderson nodded: "Of course, just the fact that the high commissioner died of murder is shocking enough. Today there was even news that the director of the Solemnity Bureau was killed, which is probably unheard of since the founding of Caspars.
"
"So, how much do you know about this matter, and have you ever participated in it?"
"With my status and level, I'm afraid I'm far from qualified to participate in this matter." Henderson laughed at himself, "You also know what the Shield District is like, and the Suzheng Bureau has not set up a branch here.
When a case comes up, people from other districts are sent to perform official duties."
"Well..." Wein raised his eyebrows, "It's true that the Suzheng Bureau does not have a branch here, but it would be too arbitrary to conclude that you have nothing to do with the current case."
Henderson's expression changed, and Leon, who knew Wein a little bit, could also tell that Wein's words sounded like suspicion at first, but in fact, in his heart, it was confirmed that Henderson and this case were absolutely
It's related.
"Speaking of which, you probably don't know." Wein touched his chin and smiled playfully, "The reason why Commissioner Marshall came to see you was because of my introduction. I told him that all the middlemen in Caspers
Here, you are the only one who won’t betray him even if you won’t help him.”
Leon straightened up slightly. What does this mean? Marshall also came to see Henderson.
Henderson narrowed his eyes: "I'm just talking about why a Commissioner of the Solemnity Bureau came to see me in the Shield District... But after seeing the things he showed, I wasn't very surprised. After all, except for me, everyone else
I would probably betray him without hesitation, and he could only come to me as a try...so I didn't expect that Commissioner Marshall was actually introduced by you."
"With his temperament, he probably doesn't want to put me on the stage."
Henderson sighed again: "However, I don't dare to accept his business entrustment. After all, the information in his hands will plunge many regions and people into turmoil."
