America 1881: Legend of the West

Four heavily armed JCs were stationed near the hitching posts. Three of them were stationed at fixed positions, and the remaining one was patrolling back and forth.

Although Van Cleef has a rough style of solving crimes, he is extremely experienced and he left a team of people at the door.

The revolver in Chen Jianqiu's clothes was only fired once, and there were four bullets left in it. He was not the one who fired the shot that hit the chandelier.

The most important thing is that as soon as a gun is fired here, Van Cleef on the other side of the house will rush over immediately.

At that time, even if you can succeed, you will have to stage a "Santa Fe Escape".

Although he and Camilla were very skilled, they were not on "absolute defense" and "100% evasion". What's more, they would face an all-out suppression campaign by the local Santa Fe police.

"My 'Burn Hill' is tied behind the barber shop, not far from here." Karami said.

Brunhil was the name of her white horse, her original evacuation plan.

Just as they were preparing to leave.

Suddenly there were footsteps in the direction of the back door, and three uniformed JCs appeared at the back door.

Chen Jianqiu grabbed Camila's waist and pushed her against the courtyard wall. The woman reacted quickly and wrapped her arms around his neck.

The two kissed each other.

When the three JCs saw someone, their first reaction was to pull out the guns on their waists. But when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, they felt a little embarrassed and wondered if they had broken something they shouldn't have.

The leader signaled the other two to put away their guns. He stepped forward and patted Chen Jianqiu on the shoulder.

"What's the matter?" Chen Jianqiu turned around, very angry, half true and half false.

"Have you seen any suspicious people passing by?" JC asked.

"No!" Chen Jianqiu replied rudely.

"Two of our police officers are missing, have you seen them?"

Chen Jianqiu let go of Camilla in his arms. He straightened his clothes and said impatiently to the police: "We came out very early. We didn't see the suspicious person you mentioned, nor any police officers."

The leader turned around and discussed countermeasures with the two policemen.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla looked at each other, and they were both ready.

If these three people ask them to go back and question everyone present, sooner or later, what he just said will be exposed.

They decided to give it a try.

If it doesn't work, just shoot.

Just as they were about to take action, another policeman ran out of the back door panting:

"Go back quickly, the murderer has been caught, and we need support inside!"

After hearing the news, the three JC left the stunned Chen Jianqiu and Camilla behind, turned around and ran towards the house.

"What do you think is going on?" Camilla asked Chen Jianqiu beside her.

"No matter, let's get out of here first."

The guards near the horse-tying posts withdrew, and the entrance to the hall began to let people go, and the guests attending the reception walked out one after another.

Chen Jianqiu calmly untied the rope of Black Carrot, pulled Camilla onto the horse with one hand, and the two left the scene on the same horse.

The next day, Santa Fe newspapers carried the news of McCall's assassination.

The Santa Fe police solved the case quickly and caught the murderer on the spot. The man was McCall's bodyguard and was inextricably linked to the largest Mexican gang in Santa Fe.

The police chief of Santa Fe said that he was very sorry that such a thing happened, and that the city government will do its best to find out the murderer behind the scenes and bring down the criminal gangs in one fell swoop to protect the safety of citizens.

In Senator Scott's office.

"This is ridiculous." The lawyer threw the newspaper on Scott's desk. "All the evidence does not support that the bodyguard was the murderer. The bullet penetrated McCall's head from bottom to top, but the bodyguard at the time Just stand behind McCall!”

"I can't do it." The lawyer shook his head and sat dejectedly on the chair opposite Scott.

"That's not important." Scott looked at the lawyer and pointed at Van Cleef standing aside: "He will help you, just like we always do."

Van Cleef narrowed his eyes and looked at the lawyer.

"No, this is too stupid. Why kill McCall? We can have other ways." The lawyer was going crazy.

Of course, Scott would not tell him about McCall's cheating and snake-rattling. He could temporarily tolerate incompetence, but he could not forgive a betrayal.

"Listen to me, the mayor needs the votes of the white people from the east and those Mexican civilians. This is very important!" Scott said, "In addition, the night in Santa Fe really needs to be reorganized. , this is the only way we can regain their trust the fastest now!”

The lawyer stopped talking. He heard the threat in Scott's tone.

He exited the office.

Scott and Van Cleef were the only two people left in the room.

Van Cleef was a little nervous, and he glanced at Scott secretly.

"Can you explain to me why the person who really killed McCall was not the bodyguard you bribed?"

Scott stared at Van Cleef, his voice cold, "Or can you explain to me again why every time the work assigned to you goes wrong?"

"We made a lot of plans, and no one who went in was armed." Van Cleef was sweating profusely, and he stammered: "Well, actually, if you give me a little more time, I can catch the person who took action. "

"The murderer can only be the bodyguard! Do you understand? The most powerful people in Santa Fe are watching the scene! The scene! Do you understand the meaning of the scene? I want those Mexican gangs to die! Do you know?" The old man's anger burst out .

Van Cleef nodded submissively, which was in sharp contrast to his high-spirited attitude last night.

"Check it out for me in private, find the person who made the move, and kill him." Scott's voice lowered, "Get out."

Van Cleef slowly exited the room and carefully closed the door.

Scott leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. He now felt more and more embarrassed by the people under his command.

If the young man he met yesterday was willing to work for him, these situations would definitely not occur.

……

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla were riding horses through the streets of Santa Fe. Black Carrot had been showing courtesy to Brunhil, but White Horse didn't intend to pay attention to him and moved forward steadily.

Black Carrot showed no frustration at all and moved closer, the two horses almost touching each other.

Strangely, its owner did not stop its spontaneous behavior.

Because his master is also thinking about something.

"Why didn't you ask me about the commission? That's not like your style." Camilla suddenly asked.

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

"It seems you don't understand me." He adjusted his hat, "But I understand you."

"You didn't kill that businessman for money. I asked Hanif about your experience. He might have become a killer for money, but you wouldn't."

"The people you kill are all those you think are worth killing. The commission and difficulty of some targets are not equal, including me before."

"I don't know if you gave up hunting me later because you learned more about me."

"Last night's assassination, if we didn't know what happened inside later, we would have narrowly escaped death."

"Regardless of whether it is right for you to judge a person based on his personal likes and dislikes, I don't believe that you become a killer for money." Chen Jianqiu said firmly.

"So you still take action?"

"Yes, I believe you. I am here. How can I let a woman like you go to die?"

Chen Jianqiu looked at Camilla with a smile, as bright as the sun.

Camilla suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. For the first time since her parents passed away, someone in this world understood her.
