America 1881: Legend of the West

Wyatt, Holiday, Sean, and Hanif got into the car in Las Vegas.

However, they didn't all rush to the first-class box to see Chen Jianqiu. First, they were afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion from the Pinkerton detectives, but since the first-class seats really did not allow idlers to enter.

Only Wyatt and Chen Jianqiu, who came out of the first-class seat, met each other across a carriage, and the two returned to their respective seats tacitly.

The train continues to move.

Only a few people on horseback looked at it from a distance along the way.

Regardless of whether these people were robbers or not, when they saw the policemen carrying long guns standing at the junction of each carriage, they stopped their desires and were out of shooting range.

This is also a change that Chen Jianqiu brought to the company's trains after becoming chairman of the board of directors of the Santa Fe Railway Company.

He proposed at the meeting:

Focus on transportation quality, improve service awareness, and focus on safe production.

Everyone, including the executive committee members, was wondering about the meaning of this sentence until after the meeting.

"Just put more police officers on the train and buy more guns! You fools!" Sean, who was listening in, finally woke them up.

As a result, the Santa Fe Railroad Company purchased a large number of new guns and bullets from the Roswell Gun Factory.

The once extremely dangerous frontier train has begun the challenge of a safety-accident-free section.

The journey was uneventful, and the train soon crossed the state border, entering Colorado from New Mexico, and then from Colorado to Kansas.

The scenery outside the window also changed from desert to mountains, and then to endless high plains.

Finally, the train stopped in Dodge City.

Before the Pacific Railroad ran through the east and west coasts of the United States, it was the terminal of the Eastern Railroad. Now, it is an important transportation hub.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla walked off the train carrying their boxes.

He saw, on the other side of the platform, a large wave of cattle driven by cowboys into the train carriage.

Cattle from surrounding famous cattle-producing areas, such as Texas, are basically loaded here and then transported to various parts of the east. ,

Cowboys had to travel long distances to drive the cattle of their own ranchers.

That’s why it’s also called the “Cowboy City.”

"Let's each find a place to live. I will notify you if there is any action." Detectives from White and Pinkerton appeared behind Chen Jianqiu.

These men were re-wearing their revolvers.

"Okay." Chen Jianqiu just agreed, and then watched the detectives leave.

"How's it going, Chen? Did you get any useful information?" Wyatt also got off the train.

"The people in Pinkerton are indeed doubting me." Chen Jianqiu looked at the detectives' backs and said meaningfully, "These fools have been trying to trick me."

"Then what should we do next? Should we continue to follow, or should we go find Jesse James ourselves?" Wyatt asked.

"Follow!" Chen Jianqiu touched his chin, "I'm quite interested in the detective named White."

Chen Jianqiu turned his head, glanced at White, and found that he was the only one standing here, so he asked:

"Where are Sean and the others?"

"They went to get the horses."

"I remember you were the acting sheriff of Dodge City before, right?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly remembered.

A smile graced Wyatt's lips.

He pointed to the railway track ahead and introduced to Chen Jianqiu and Camilla:

"Yes, then on behalf of the 'hospitable' people of Dodge City, I would like to introduce you to this 'Sin City'."

"The railroad divided the entire Dodge City into two parts. With the railroad as the boundary, one side was the residential area where residents were housed, and the other side was the saloon, tavern, and chicken yard."

Chen Jianqiu looked in the direction Wyatt pointed and found that there was indeed a qualitative difference in the flow of people on both sides of the railway.

There are still people on the train going down.

This is the last train section under the jurisdiction of the Santa Fe Railway Company, and employees of the railway company are getting off the train one after another.

They would stay here overnight, waiting for the train from the east to arrive, and then board the train back to New Mexico.

"Ah, Mr. Chen, is this your first time in Dodge? Do you want to have some fun with us?" Captain Eaton's head appeared at the door of the car again.

He saw Camilla next to Chen Jianqiu, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I forgot, there is a beautiful lady beside you."

Chen Jianqiu held Camilla's hand and nodded at Eaton with a smile.

The old conductor got off the train happily and walked towards the side of the railway with his conductors.

What surprised Chen Jianqiu was that the block they were walking towards was as red as fire.

Chen Jianqiu took a closer look and found that there was a red light hanging at the entrance of every store.

"Chen, do you know where that place is?" Wyatt asked.

red light? Red light district?

"Is this a place where women who have fallen behind strive to change their lives through labor?" Chen Jianqiu put forward his own opinion.

"Hehe, that's good." Wyatt mentioned the allusion to the red light district, "Every time the car stops, the employees on the car go to the brothels in the city to find lovers and reminisce about old times."

"Considering that in case of emergency, the railway company can find them in time, these employees always hang a red light unique to railway employees at the door of the chicken yard."

“Generally, the more lights, the better the business.”

"So later, as time went by, the old madam hung up the red light in front of her house early, regardless of whether there were railway employees coming or not."

"So, it is indeed a red light district." Chen Jianqiu looked at Wyatt.

Wyatt nodded.

"Okay, let's stay nearby tonight." Chen Jianqiu decided on the address for the night.

Wyatt glanced at Chen Jianqiu and then at Camilla beside him, thinking that his boss was really bohemian.

If one isn't enough, do we need two or three at the same time?

Chen Jianqiu saw something strange in the eyes of the former Sheriff Dodge: "Oh, I didn't mean that. I just thought that the Pinkerton Detective Agency gang would definitely stay nearby at night."

On the train, he gave out handouts to those who had itchy crotches.

"We have to keep a close eye on them." Chen Jianqiu said.

The three of them walked towards the car at the back.

After joining Sean and the others, they took their horses away.

"After finding White and the Pinkerton detectives, Sean, you are responsible for keeping an eye on White, Hanif, you are responsible for the movements of others; Wyatt and Holiday, this is the place you are most familiar with, wait in the room Come on, we'll have work to do at any time."

Chen Jianqiu assigned a task.

"Remember, if there is any movement, report it to me immediately."

After touching each other, they were divided into the original two groups again, one behind the other, pretending not to know each other, and rode out of the train station.

Dodge City is worthy of the Sin City that Wyatt calls it.

Compared to Tombstone, the gunfire here is no less intense.

The division of railway lines has brought peace to people in residential areas, but it has also pushed the security of the commercial area on the other side into the abyss.

Chen Jianqiu and Camilla rode horses side by side, shuttling between the tavern and the chicken yard.

They were looking for the hotel where they would stay tonight, and they were also looking for traces of the detectives.

"boom!"

A shot rang out in the street.

A security guard wearing a police badge and holding a shotgun rushed out from the corner of the street and knocked down a cowboy with one shot.

The cowboy's face was on the ground, blood flowing from the wound behind him. Seeing that he was hopeless, he became a real street fighter.

The policeman spray-shot the cowboy in the back again, then stepped on his back:

"Fuck, you owe me money, damn it."

Another officer wearing a badge appeared on the opposite corner.

He was wearing jingling boots, holding his pockets with both hands, tilting his head and looking at the dead cowboy on the ground.

"Bull! Don't go too far!" The police officer waved to the person stepping on the corpse.

"Please call my name, my name is Steve!" the man yelled.

Chen Jianqiu now somewhat understands why Wyatt did what he did in Tombstone.

He just brought his style from Dodge City to Tombstone.

Here, there is no distinction between police and robbers.

However, Chen Jianqiu had no plans to care about these things for the time being, and he continued to move forward.

Finally, they found the hotel where Pinkerton's detectives were staying near a chicken farm called "Pretty in Pink."

Chen Jianqiu chose a hotel diagonally opposite.

Not too close, not too far, great location.

From his room on the second floor, he could clearly see the entrance and exit of the hotel and the chicken yard.

After Chen Jianqiu finished eating, he sat at the window and began to wait for the detectives' "team building".

However, when those people walked out of the hotel door, he did not see White's figure.

The door to Chen Jianqiu's room rang.

Sean squeezed in through the crack in the door:

"Boss, White left through the back door and entered a tavern."
