America 1881: Legend of the West

Van Cleef came to the door of the hotel alone without anyone or wearing a police uniform.

Since it is a private investigation, we cannot alert the enemy.

He is confident enough in his authority in Santa Fe City. Although in front of Scott, he lives like a dog, but outside the senator's office, he is a famous crime-solving expert! The backbone of the Santa Fe Police Department.

The Mexican gangsters had heard the news and started hiding, and the two bounty hunters couldn't do anything to them.

As for the potential murderer, as long as he dares to shoot, he will not be able to escape from Santa Fe City.

"boss!"

Van Cleef tied up his horse and strode into the hotel door. He stood in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel with his hands on his hips.

"Eh? Sheriff Van Cleef? Why are you here in your spare time?" The boss walked out from behind the bar and trotted to the Sheriff's side.

Van Cleef said nothing. He looked around at the guests in the hall on the first floor.

"I really want to thank you. There have been a lot less of those damn Mexican gangsters on the road in the past two days." The boss didn't know what the Sheriff was going to do. He was a little nervous and could only say flattering words to himself.

"What about the two bounty hunters? One of them has an upturned beard." The police chief asked the boss after confirming that there was no target on the first floor.

The boss was about to answer. A voice came from the direction of the stairs.

"Van Cleef!"

The police chief looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hanif and his follower Downey coming down from the second floor.

Behind them were Chen Jianqiu, Camilla, and Astor.

Okay, all the people he was looking for were here at once.

Van Cleef walked over.

His eyes directly ignored the bounty hunter in the front row and looked directly at Chen Jianqiu:

"Sir, could you come out alone for a while? I have something to ask you."

Chen Jianqiu did not answer his words. He patted the angry Hanif in front and said to him softly: "Restrain, restraint."

Chen Jianqiu bypassed Hanif and walked down the stairs step by step, with Camilla following him.

He walked right past Van Cleef, treating the Santa Fe Sheriff as if he was nothing.

Fan Cleef, who was ignored, was very angry. He reached out to grab the man's arm, but Chen Jianqiu didn't see how he changed his walking posture. He just turned his body slightly.

He grabbed it with one hand.

"Stop! Otherwise I will arrest you!" Van Cleef said and went to pull out the gun from his waist.

But Hanif's roar came: "Van Cleef! I want to duel with you, and I will never forget the insult you gave me!"

All the guests on the first floor turned their heads when they heard "Duel".

The police chief turned his head and glanced at Hanif, who was as angry as a bull: "Excuse me, sir, what did you just say?"

"I said, I want to duel with you!"

Hanif's voice was amplified several times in decibels, as if a loudspeaker was installed, and it was heard by people on the street outside the hotel.

"Fuck! There's a duel!"

"Who and whom?"

"It seems to be inside the hotel. Chief Van Cleef walked in just now."

"Go tell my wife that there is a good show to watch and ask them to come over quickly!"

……

"Did you hear that? This Wyoming bumpkin wants to challenge me!" Van Cleef spread his hands to the people around him and burst out laughing.

Some people present also laughed wildly.

In addition to handling cases vigorously and resolutely, Sheriff Van Cleef was also famous for his marksmanship. Before he was promoted to Sheriff, he once won four consecutive duels with several Mexicans and killed their entire family.

"Come on! You bastard! I'm going to kill you." Hanif didn't give in too much. He was also fast with his gun and had never lost a duel before.

He must vent his anger after being beaten by Van Cleef all night.

In the West, duels had always been illegal, but judges tended to favor the victor who had a life-or-death decision.

As long as they did not commit a flagrant foul and pull out their guns first, most of them would be released on the grounds of "self-defense."

People in the West always admire the brave. Who can tell what happened in that moment.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla also stopped and stood at the door of the hotel.

Van Cleef and Hanif walked out of the hotel door one after another and came to the street.

When passing by Chen Jianqiu, Fan Cleef gave him a vicious look and pointed at him: "Don't run away, I'll settle the score with you later."

Chen Jianqiu smiled.

At this time, there was a sea of ​​people around the hotel. People put down their work and came to watch. However, their bosses were not harsh because they themselves were among the crowd of people watching.

There is too little entertainment in the West. People's greatest happiness is to watch hangings and duels. What they have in common is the death of people and irregularities.

What's more, one of the two parties in the duel now is Santa Fe's famous Sheriff Van Cleef.

A fat man has already opened a market and bet on the outcome of both sides.

There is no doubt about the Sheriff's strength, and his record is well known to everyone; but the Wyoming bounty hunter looks quite powerful, at least judging from his beard, he is not a character to be trifled with.

People left a large space for the two of them

Van Cleef and Hanif were on opposite sides of the street, about ten meters apart.

Astor and the hotel manager stood at the door of the hotel as witnesses.

"You two, after I count to three, you can shoot at any time. Mr. Astor and I are here to witness..."

The store manager was still rambling on about the process, but the communication between the two of them never stopped.

"CNM, bitch!"

"Lick me, rubbish!"

……

There was no chill and gentlemanliness in later movies. The two of them continued to greet each other and each other's families with dirty words before shooting.

"1!"

The noise of the crowd of onlookers has stopped. Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at the hands of both sides, fearing that they had missed something.

"2!"

Chen Jianqiu leaned against the door and looked at the two people in the venue quietly; Camilla stood next to him.

"3!"

"Bang! Bang!"

As soon as the store manager finished speaking, two gunshots were fired at the scene. The two gunmen took out their pistols almost at the same time and fired them almost at the same time.

Van Cleef's hat flew back, and he subconsciously touched his head. When he found that there was no wound, he burst into laughter.

Hanif was a little unlucky. The bullet blew off the police chief's hat, and he himself was shot in the shoulder blade and fell to the ground.

"Donny, let's go check on your master's injury. Master Astor, please find someone to treat him." Chen Jianqiu called to Donny, walked to Hanif's side, squatted down and began to check his wounds.

"Damn, I haven't practiced for a long time, my hands are raw, uh..." Hanif gritted his teeth and said with force.

Van Cleef raised his hands, enjoying the cheers from the crowd.

He wins again!

Although the gun on the opposite side is not very slow, it is obviously still not as good as him.

At this moment, the depression of this period disappeared. What a senator, what a bullshit case, he is the king of Santa Fe!

Chen Jianqiu stood up and was about to tell Downey to find a way to send Hanif to Astor's carriage as soon as possible.

Before he could speak, Van Cleef on the opposite side was already pointing at him.

"Chinese! Come and fight me! You just ignored me and insulted me. I want to win back my dignity."

He was certain that this man must be related to McCall's murder, maybe he was, or maybe he wasn't.

If he was still worried about how to kill this man more than ten minutes ago, Hanif provided him with an idea.

duel!

You won't lose.

This time, he will shoot the Chinese man in the head and tell Scott that the real murderer is dead.

Chen Jianqiu turned around and responded calmly:

"it is good."
