Chapter 435 Two salaries are not so easy to earn(1/2)

Author: Mosaic Melancholy

Gordon is indeed the undercover, a double undercover in the true sense.

He was an undercover agent of the Border Detective Agency in the California Knights of Labor, and he was also an undercover agent of Pinkerton in the Border Detective Agency.

The former Pinkerton agent who resigned from the Border Detective Agency not only sold the line to Hanif, but also sold it to Hellman, who was making a comeback.

Before the agent took two, Gordon also received a double paycheck.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all.

The night before, Gordon followed Hellman's instructions and stayed in his room without acting rashly.

So he had no idea what was going on outside.

The next morning, Gordon went to work in the lumber camp as usual.

Whether they are an informant or an undercover agent, they get paid on a per-item basis.

The more useful the information, the higher the unit price.

Based on yesterday's news, Hellman had to pay him a large sum of money.

Therefore, in Gordon's view, even the sunlight shining into the woods above his head was different from usual.

He was in a very happy mood.

Until he saw today's newspaper.

Logically speaking, reading newspapers is not allowed when working in a lumber camp.

But when Gordon got to the "fixed spot" in the woods for convenience, he happened to pick up a damaged newspaper left by the overseer.

Half of the pictures were wiped by the supervisor, and the other half was used for reading.

Gordon only had two minutes to go to the toilet.

But this was enough for him to finish reading the newspaper.

Broken! What happened last night was clearly a trap!

Gordon reacted quickly.

The only people who attended yesterday to learn the news were Hanif, Downey, Holly and their three undercover officers.

In this way, the scope was narrowed down to just a few of them.

Not to mention whether Hellman would pay for a piece of fake news that was of no use and caused him a lot of trouble. Hanif's methods alone made him shudder.

Gordon knew Hanif.

Regarding undercover matters, his principle has always been "I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go"!

This man is very famous. It is said that when he was a bounty hunter, he had all kinds of ways to pry open the mouths of wanted criminals.

There is even a rumor outside that he likes to use long-handled pliers to teach prisoners how to behave.

If it falls into his hands, it will really be tortured.

Thinking of this, Gordon couldn't even squat anymore, so he pulled up his pants and ran away deeper into the woods.

At this time, outside the woods, the supervisor was silently pinching his watch.

Regarding the concept of two minutes, he may be more accurate than many people holding watches.

Nothing but familiarity.

When he realized that two minutes had passed and Gordon had not appeared, he cursed and walked into the woods.

There is no Gordon in the woods.

The supervisor walked around the woods and found no trace of the lumberjack.

"Run away?" The supervisor glanced at the newspaper he left on the ground, and then laughed disdainfully.

"Just run away. Anyway, I still owe him two months' salary. If I run away, I will save this money."

Gordon walked quickly in the woods.

He planned to bypass the logging camp, walk out of the woods in the other direction, and then find an opportunity to leave San Francisco in the dead of night.

He did not dare to return to his own residence.

However, as an informant who has worked for many years, Gordon will not hide all the money he earns where he lives.

The cunning rabbit still has three holes. The eggs must not be placed in one basket. It is still the most dangerous basket!

It's evening.

Near an abandoned cabin on the outskirts of San Francisco, a figure suddenly appeared.

It's Gordon.

He looked around to make sure he didn't see anyone, then walked out of the bushes.

Gordon did not go directly to the cabin, but ran towards an oak tree not far from the cabin.

This is a large oak tree that has stood here for countless years. It takes two adults to hug the trunk of the tree.

Gordon walked quickly to the oak tree.

He put one hand into the tree hole.

After searching in the tree hole for a long time, this hand finally took out a small box that looked very ordinary and unspectacular.

A smile appeared on Gordon's face.

He opened the box. Under the setting sun, the golden light inside the box was shining, which was particularly attractive.

Inside were seven or eight gold necklaces and a dozen gold rings, as well as some US dollars with zero notes.

After seeing these things, Gordon felt an unprecedented sense of security and immediately felt at ease.

Here is the majority of his net worth.

After receiving the informant's fee, Gordon converted all the money except for the money needed for living.

What is soft?

The so-called soft is something that you can take with you as soon as possible when something happens to you, or you can wear it when you run away, and it can give you a change of food when you arrive at a new place.

After inspecting his property, Gordon closed the lid with satisfaction and stood up.

With these things, I can go to any place in the west and change my appearance, and I will be a good man.

However, just as he was about to leave, a voice came faintly from above his head:

"So you can make money by being a double undercover agent?"

Gordon was almost frightened by the sound and sat down on the ground.

When he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the source of the sound.

A huge sack covered his head and face.

Hanif and Downey jumped down from the tree, one held him down, the other held his feet, and tied Gordon tightly with a sack.

Hanif skillfully tied the mouth of the sack tightly with a rope, and then gave it a few hard blows where it thought its head should be:

"Take it easy! You scumbag!"

After Hanif straightened up, he "rewarded" Gordon with two more feet in the sack.

I don’t know if these two “appetizers” are too powerful, or if I know my struggle is hopeless.

The sack soon became silent.

Hanif turned around and lazily "reported" to Donnie beside him:

"Report sir, the suspect has been arrested."

Then, he threw the sack containing Gordon onto Downey's shoulder.

After Gordon was brought back to San Francisco, he was imprisoned in a prison that no one could find.

Here is under the cliff of the lighthouse, leading to the shore through a very hidden road.

When Hanif discovered this place, it had been abandoned, but the bones inside were still there.

No one knows the identities of these bones, nor why they were imprisoned here, nor why it was abandoned.

But there is one thing to say: the effectiveness of incarcerating people here is second only to St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital.

The loneliness and darkness of the cliff bring endless despair to people, and all heart-rending screams will be drowned in the sound of the waves.

"I'll lock him up for two days first, and then talk to him when he's going crazy. Once we've agreed, we'll change his name and send him directly to St. Elizabeth." Chen Jianqiu made the arrangements.

By then, the undercover agent and California Knights of Labor officer who had eaten two portions will have completely disappeared.

Anyway, the workers at the lumberyard saw him get into the woods and never come out again.

Meanwhile, Hawley was making final preparations before the strike.

By then, workers from all walks of life in San Francisco will leave their jobs and take to the streets to fight for their own interests, holding signs and shouting slogans.
