America 1881: Legend of the West

Soon after, Wyatt and Holiday also rode back to the hotel door.

In the moonlight, they saw the body at the door.

Wyatt turned over the corpse out of habit and took a look at the corpse's face.

"Leonard 'Buffalo'?"

Although his face was covered in blood, the former police chief was able to identify the deceased, who had been jailed at least three times for stealing cattle.

Wyatt stood up.

It was found that at the door of the hotel, there were pieces of black stuff scattered around the body, which looked like dog feces.

Dead bodies are not uncommon around Dodge City's red-light district, and the poop could be from wild dogs.

They are the most dedicated scavengers in the city.

But why didn't these wild dogs just drag the body away?

The two walked into the hotel door.

The hotel owner hadn't rested yet and was wiping his double-barreled shotgun.

"Boss, why did 'Bison' die outside?" Wyatt asked, "What happened at the door just now?"

The boss looked up and saw that it was Wyatt. He said "Oh" and while wiping his gun, he replied: "Several of your 'old friends' came to look for you just now, but your new friends helped me to send them away. ”

"One should be dead, and a few others have injured hands."

Wyatt and Holiday looked at each other.

They now know what that shit-like thing at the door is.

Suddenly, there was a slight cough from the corner of the stairs.

Wyatt and Holiday looked in the direction of the sound.

Chen Jianqiu stood there.

He nodded in this direction and motioned for the two of them to follow him up.

The two followed Chen Jianqiu into the room and found that Camilla, Hanif and Sean were also in the room.

"Jesse James has a ranch here." Chen Jianqiu walked to the window and closed it. "White has an undercover agent or informant inside."

"They'll probably meet at the Livestock Exchange tomorrow," Sean added.

"So, my suggestion is that we can continue to follow White tomorrow, and then there is a high probability that we can find Jesse James' hiding place." Hanif gave his own suggestion.

"As for whether to attack directly or watch them merge and reap the benefits, that's fine."

Camila agreed with Hanif.

In the entire room, only Wyatt and Holiday remained silent.

Chen Jianqiu leaned his butt on the table, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Wyatt.

"Wyatt, you are familiar with this place. What do you think?"

Wyatt took a deep breath and said:

"Chen, do you know where I went just now?"

"The hotel owner told me that Judge Dodge is looking for you. If I remember your name correctly, it seems to be 'Unlucky Brown'." Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, he is both the judge of Dodge and the top leader of the Dodge Gang." Wyatt said, "When I was in Dodge, I tried my best to fight crime, so I was actually very unhappy with him."

"But because they were restrained at that time, I was useful to him and didn't be completely cruel, so we didn't completely break up with each other."

"Then what is he looking for you for?" Hanif asked doubtfully.

"He heard about what happened to me in Arizona and thought I had figured it out, so he wanted to recruit me again."

Not sure whether he thought this reason sounded ridiculous or if it touched something in his heart, Wyatt paused.

He went from a police officer to a wanted criminal in just a few days, and it cost him the lives of his two brothers.

"He roped you in? What about Carson? You know, he almost died in your hands." Holiday snorted.

Wyatt wakes up from his flashback.

"I have no intention of promising him."

This sentence was meant for Holiday, but also for Chen Jianqiu. "

"I just want to say that there is a reason why Brown's 'Dodge Gang' has been able to commit lawless crimes in Dodge City for so many years."

Chen Jianqiu looked at the police chief intently and expressed his willingness to hear the details.

"The first one is that I cleared some criminals for him and firmly guarded the bottom line of separating residential areas by railways, which ensured the security on that side of the railways. So the long-term local residents thanked him, which was a great achievement for him. Winning votes.”

"The second is that their control over Dodge City is beyond ordinary people's imagination. His spies are everywhere here. He will not easily allow Pinkerton to capture Jesse James on his territory. "

"Furthermore, Jesse James may not come back to his farm, and even if he comes back, he won't show up so easily."

Hanif added that he has a lot of experience.

"If the attack fails, not only will the thief run away again. Due to the complexity of Dodge City you described, the consequences are also unpredictable."

Wyatt nodded, agreeing with the former bounty hunter.

Chen Jianqiu thought about the meeting between White and Carson tonight and said, "So, this is why White secretly ran out to meet with the tavern owner by himself."

"He cannot trust me or his colleagues. The risk of arresting people here is too great. If we are not careful, the price will be very high."

"I won't follow you tomorrow and wait and see what happens." Chen Jianqiu finally made the decision.

White returned to his hotel.

He didn't care whether his colleagues who were looking for flowers and willows had returned. Instead, he sat in the room alone and thought for a long time.

the next morning.

The sun had just risen, and the sun was rising in the east, shining into Dodge City.

Accompanied by the sound of the steam whistle, the first train of the day has entered Dodge City.

The residential area is busy, with many pedestrians, and the residents have started their new day's life.

Today is the day of the month for the livestock trade in Dodge City.

One after another, cowboys began to drive their cattle into the city. They came out of the pasture very early just to sell them at a good price for their owners.

The red light district on the other side of the railway was completely silent, in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle last night.

White appeared at the back door of the hotel.

He glanced left and right, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked towards the other side of the railway.

White finally decided to meet with Jeffries.

Because if he wanted to meet again next time, he would have to risk letting the tavern owner deliver the news.

Only he knew that the tavern owner and Jeffries were actually Pinkerton detectives.

White was very careful. He walked out of the hotel after making sure no one was following him outside.

But he didn't know that no one was watching him outside, but inside the tavern, someone was paying attention to his whereabouts.

This person was none other than his colleague Donovan, whom he regarded as useless.

When he returned from his fun last night, he had already discovered that White was not in the room.

"That guy went out again early in the morning." Donovan knocked on Tom's door. "This guy plans to eat alone again."

"Wait for me for a while." Tom blocked the crack of the door, shirtless and sleepy-eyed.

Donovan knew that this guy didn't have enough fun last night and brought the woman back.

"Stop fucking with women. If he catches Jesse James alone, then in the New Mexico branch, we will never want to lead the team alone!" Donovan couldn't wait to grab this guy from the room immediately. come out.

Tom had no choice but to put on a piece of clothing and follow Donovan out of the hotel.

The two men began to follow White, who had just left.

Anyone who can be the underboss of the Pinkerton Detective Agency must have some ability, and the skill point of these two people is in tracking.

The two men were very skilled at tracking, so skilled that even the experienced White didn't notice them.

They followed White into the Livestock Exchange.

Although it was still early, the place was already bustling with people coming and going.

Livestock dealers are constantly communicating with ranchers or cowboys. The content of the communication includes but is not limited to the condition of the cattle themselves and the quality of the beef can be judged from the condition.

They took each other's information and bargained.

White walked among them, occasionally chatting casually with some of them.

Then he stopped in front of a cowboy wearing a yellow cowboy hat.

The cowboy was bent over, inspecting the leg of the cow next to him.

Then he saw White.

A smile appeared on his face:

"Sir, do you want to buy a cow?"
