America 1881: Legend of the West

Chapter 71 The Sheriff Who Never Works Overtime



Downey has always been Hanif's partner and groom, but for some reason, Hanif's carriage has been sold at a discount.

Therefore, his only responsibility now is to be a partner.

He had certain differences with Hanif over the tone of the note left behind.

"If you write it like this, will it anger them?" Downey said.

"You know nothing. I know these people. Only by provoking them will they reveal their flaws! A real hunter must kill his opponent with one strike when he reveals his flaws!" Although Hanif has no hat, he has already formed a The lump of hair is harder than the hat. There was a sense of pride in his words.

"Uh, uh~~" Holmes, whose head was hooded, struggled desperately behind Tang Nima.

"Did you gag him?" Hanif looked at Downey doubtfully.

"That's right." Downey pointed the butt of a gun at Holmes's head, which was covered with a sack. The geologist immediately became silent, "Otherwise he would be dishonest."

"What the hell! We are bounty hunters! Not kidnappers! There is no bounty for this guy!" Hanif got off his horse and took the sack off Holmes' head.

The poor geologist had fainted and had a bruise on his head.

"Forget it, forget it." Hanif scratched his head and got back on the horse.

"Didn't you finally listen to my words and come to the market to arrest someone?" Donnie muttered softly.

"What did you say?"

"Huh? I mean, why are we going to Pitkin? Wouldn't it be better to be closer?" Downey returned to his normal voice and asked his question.

"I thought about it, and you are right. It seems that you have made some progress after following me for so long. Even if the two of us have hostages in hand, we are not completely sure to deal with the four people on the other side."

Hanif turned his head and cast an approving look at Downey, making him hold his head high.

"So, I decided to go to Pitkin County to seek help from local police officers. The worst I could do was give them half of the reward."

Donnie always felt that there was something wrong with his boss's brain circuit, but he couldn't tell where it was.

Ever since the boss was released from the Denver police station, his mind has become more and more abnormal every day.

Donnie sighed. Silently, he followed Hanif in the direction of Pitkin.

……

On the road from Market Town to Pitkin, four horses were galloping, their hooves clattering and dust rising behind them.

Soaring in the air above their heads was a golden eagle, observing what was going on in and around them.

"We'd better intercept them before they reach Pitkin." Chen Jianqiu was driving Black Carrot. Although this horse was a bit sloppy at ordinary times, it never lost its chain at critical moments. At this time, it was leading the way and there was no need to What does the master say?

"Is it because there are more uncertainties there?" Feiniao asked.

Chen Jianqiu nodded: "There is another reason. I can guess the purpose and next move of other people, but I am not sure about the brain circuits of these two people."

Just as the four-person team was rushing forward at full speed. A muffled sound suddenly came from behind Chen Jianqiu.

Someone fell off the horse.

Chen Jianqiu quickly reined in the horse, but the horses still rushed far away. When they turned the horses' heads, they found Adam's old horse stopped in place, lowering its head and gently cupping Adam lying on the ground with its mouth.

They ran over quickly.

At this time, Adam was lying on his back with his eyes closed, his hand covering his heart, and his face looked very ugly.

"Isn't he drunk again?" Sean hesitated.

Chen Jianqiu shook his head. Adam didn't drink a drop of wine today, and it was rare for him to be sober all morning. He walked forward and checked Adam's body.

There were no major injuries, only some scratches on the palms and elbows. It seemed that the old horse had already had a premonition of the owner's condition and slowed down, otherwise he would have fallen off the galloping horse so unconsciously and fell. Fracture is a high probability event.

Chen Jianqiu and several other people worked together to carry Adam to the roadside and helped him sit up against a stone.

After a while, Adam opened his eyes and looked at the people around him with confusion: "What are you doing around me?"

"You fell off your horse."

"Oh, I just feel a little pain in my heart. Let's keep walking."

"Are you sure?" Chen Jianqiu had some doubts.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it." Adam got back on the old horse and said lightly, "Just like I told you before, I'm about to die."

Chen Jianqiu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The four men once again set out on the road to Pitkin.

……

When Hanif and Downey stood at the door of Pitkin's Sheriff's Office, they were a little dumbfounded.

The police station was smaller than they thought.

A dilapidated one-story wooden house. Except for the fresh paint around the doors, windows and front wall, the walls on the side and back have been peeled off in pieces, and dark wooden boards can be seen inside that have decayed.

The sign at the door is new, but the letters on it seem to be spelled wrong.

Pitkin is such a large area and it is still a newly established county. How can the police station here be so simple?

It was already evening, and several old farmers living locally were leaning on the wooden railing at the door, smoking cigarette butts and looking at the passers-by.

A man walked out of the police station.

He was quite tall, and the sheriff's uniform could not hide the strong muscles all over his body. Even though he was nearly fifty years old, he looked very strong.

There are some white hairs in his golden hair, but it doesn't look very obvious because of the sun and hair color.

"Hey, hello, Danny, what are you going to eat when you go back tonight?"

An old farmer smoking a pipe greeted him.

The police chief named Danny smiled and greeted him back, like neighbors who had known each other for a long time.

He pulled hard on the door of the police station.

The door closed, shaking the entire room as if the ashes were falling. The sergeant took out another key from his waist and prepared to lock the door.

Hanif quickly adjusted the collar of Holmes beside him. Before entering the county, he had already torn off the geologist's sack and loosened it.

He patted Holmes on the shoulder and gestured to him with his index finger: "Wait a minute, you are not allowed to say anything, do you understand?"

Holmes had played the role of a hostage again and again during this period. He was very experienced and nodded.

He kept his mouth shut tightly, because he knew that as a hostage, if he talked too much, he would be beaten if he spoke too much, or his life would be in danger if he spoke too much.

Hanif was very satisfied. He and Downey carried Holmes to the police station.

"Mr. Sheriff!" Hanif shouted.

Danny was locking the door when he heard someone calling him. He turned his head in confusion and saw the three dusty people.

"Mr. Sheriff, I have something important to tell you." Hanif walked to Danny's side, "I have information about important criminals with a reward."

Danny glanced at them up and down, showing no interest, then locked the door with a click on his hand.

He gave Hanif a very official answer:

"It's time to get off work. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

It will be released on National Day. I hope you all like it and support it.
