America 1881: Legend of the West

The next morning, several people met again in Chen Jianqiu's room.

"Put them on and try some sample clothes. I don't know if they will fit you." Hanif carried a few clothes and threw them on Chen Jianqiu's bed.

He visited several stores and finally found ready-made clothes at Madame Lisa Clothing Store.

Blazer, vest, bow tie, white shirt, bowler hat,

Everyone changed in turn.

Except for Sean, everyone else looks dashing and very handsome.

But when the skin was on Sean's body, it looked a little weird.

"Am I too thin?" the black man asked nervously, fiddling with the collar and corners of his clothes.

"It's a matter of temperament." Hanif straightened his tie.

"Um, Sean, otherwise you'd better not go." Chen Jianqiu looked Sean up and down, feeling an indescribable feeling.

"Okay." Sean simply took off his clothes and looked at Chen Jianqiu, "Then what do I do during the day?"

"Follow me." Chen Jianqiu said.

Others who were still sorting out their clothes looked at Chen Jianqiu with puzzled faces.

"Aren't you going?" Wyatt asked.

"The presence of yellow-skinned people in Pinkerton Detective Agency is too conspicuous." Chen Jianqiu shook his head.

"Didn't you say that your senior brother is inside now?" Hanif suddenly remembered the information Chen Jianqiu told them while having breakfast.

"The Pinkerton gang will never believe us Chinese. They regard us as peripheral thugs at most. They will probably not let us participate in investigating such things." Chen Jianqiu said,

"Moreover, Li Shiri is the only Chinese in Pinkerton in San Francisco. Pretending to be him is not the right choice."

He walked up to Wyatt, took out three Pinkerton medals from his pocket, and stuffed them into Wyatt's hand.

"While you're on the field, help me find information about Li Shiri, then write it down and tell me." Chen Jianqiu said in Wyatt's ear.

When he came here last time, he felt that his senior brother was weird, combined with the information he got from meeting Huang Qingyun this time.

Chen Jianqiu has a guess that needs to be confirmed.

The three Wyatts took the order and left.

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Sean looked at Chen Jianqiu: "Boss, what are we going to do?"

"Go meet my senior brother."

Chen Jianqiu took out a wallet from his arms. Sean saw that he had "borrowed" it from the Pinkerton detective last night.

Chen Jianqiu handed the wallet to Sean: "Find a suitable opportunity to return the things to others. If you borrow something, return it. It's not difficult to borrow it again."

He whispered a few words into the black man's ear. Sean understood and set off first.

Chen Jianqiu also walked out of the room and left the hotel.

……

Li Shiri was on his way to the Pinkerton Detective Agency office at this time.

He has walked along this road from Chinatown to work every day since joining Pinkerton,

He provided information about his junior brother Chen Changluo to the person in charge of Pinkerton, saying that this person was a rebel on the other side of the ocean and was most likely the instigator of the fire at the dock.

Pinkerton's detectives in charge in San Francisco were initially very interested in this information, but as time went on, the line of inquiry moved slowly.

Li Shiri found nothing, and he still had a few lives of Chinese workers on his hands.

As time passed, the person in charge gradually lost patience and ignored the yellow-skinned Chinese.

If it weren't for this man's extraordinary skills, he would have kicked this man out of the detective agency long ago.

Therefore, he has been thinking about making some big news so that he can raise his head as a person in the detective agency.

"Li Shiri!"

Just as he was thinking wildly with his head down, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

Li Shiri raised his head.

His heart tightened suddenly.

The "junior brother" he thought about all the time - Chen Jianqiu - was standing on the street corner not far away, looking at him with a smile.

"Senior brother, are you okay?" Chen Jianqiu waved at him.

Li Shiri looked around.

This is not Chinatown. There are many pedestrians coming and going on the road. It may not be appropriate to do it here.

After a second thought, he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Chen Jianqiu with a smile on his face:

"Junior brother, why did you leave without saying goodbye last time? I still want to have a good chat with you."

Chen Jianqiu also smiled: "It's too late to chat now, let's find a cafe."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward along the street.

Li Shiri followed.

He kept observing the surrounding environment and Chen Jianqiu who was leading the way.

But along the way, it seems that I am always looking for bad opportunities.

They soon came to a cafe.

Chen Jianqiu turned in.

"Two cups of original coffee, no sugar added, thank you." He did not ask Li Shiri's opinion, found a seat next to the glass window and sat down, and said to the waiter at the bar.

The waiter started grinding coffee beans, and Li Shiri sat down opposite Chen Jianqiu.

However, before he could speak, Chen Jianqiu spoke first.

"Senior brother, I heard that you joined the Pinkerton Detective Agency?" he asked casually.

Li Shiri was shocked.

Chen Jianqiu pointed to the badge on his chest: "Brother, don't be surprised, I'm very familiar with them."

Li Shiri was even more certain that his junior brother had an inseparable relationship with the previous arson case at the dock.

However, he remained calm: "Have you ever dealt with them?"

Chen Jianqiu nodded: "More than just dealing with each other, we have a life-long friendship."

Li Shiri's mind was running rapidly, thinking about what Chen Jianqiu said.

"They never trust us. They just treat us as tools, or the lowest level tools." Chen Jianqiu said, "Just like you are now."

Li Shiri's face finally darkened: "Junior brother, you came here today just to tell me this?"

"Senior brother, do you think you can kill me now?" Chen Jianqiu said something coldly, looking at the person in front of him with a playful look.

Li Shiri's veins swelled, his murderous intent surged, and he stared at Chen Jianqiu with cold eyes.

Chen Changluo, you finally don’t want to pretend anymore.

Chen Jianqiu looked at Li Shiri's expression and knew that his first guess was correct.

This senior brother really wanted to kill himself.

"However, I have to remind you that I now have legal citizenship. Before you think about killing me, do you think about yourself first?" Chen Jianqiu glanced at the busy street outside the window, and the joking expression on his face became even more... aggregated.

"You don't really think that the people in Pinkerton trust you, do you? They have already sent people to investigate your legal status. If I read it correctly, they should be in the archives now."

"You don't have to worry about me." Li Shiri's voice was low, but his eyes were a little hesitant.

Chen Jianqiu's second guess was that Li Shiri did not have legal status. After the implementation of the bill, Pinkerton not only could not hire him, but was also obliged to transfer him to the immigration bureau.

The waiter brought the coffee and placed it on the table.

Li Shiri has been staring at Chen Jianqiu, always looking for an opportunity to strangle the junior brother in front of him by the throat, making him unable to breathe.

However, Chen Jianqiu kept drinking coffee and looking out the window calmly.

The crowds on the street and Chen Jianqiu's mysterious sitting posture did not give him this opportunity.

"Brother, if you really want to kill me, I will give you another chance." Chen Jianqiu finished his coffee and stood up.

"Tonight, I'll be waiting for you at the San Francisco Archives."

Immediately, under Li Shiri's gaze, Chen Jianqiu put on his coat and hat, turned around and left the cafe.

Li Shiri got up and prepared to chase him, but was held back by the waiter behind him.

"Sir, your coffee hasn't been paid yet!"

"He dragged me in!" Li Shiri pointed at the direction Chen Jianqiu left and yelled angrily at the waiter.

"How can you drink coffee if you don't have money? Poor guy! If you don't pay, I'll call the police!" The waiter looked at him without showing any signs of weakness. "You guys should be arrested!"

Li Shiri stared at the waiter, breathing heavily.

He could easily kill the foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes in front of him on the spot.

However, he did not have the courage.

He didn't even have the guts to skip the bill in a foreign cafe.

Li Shiri took out the money, handed it to the waiter, and hurried out the door.

Then, he bumped into a black man.

I drove home today to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I just got home, so the update will be late. The second update will come later.
